At this time, the limit push plate 35 is suspended above the battery cell conveying line 1, and then the side push linear module 221 pushes the side push plate 224 to move toward the limit push plate 35 until the battery cells at the end are in close contact with the limit push plate 35. Then, the battery cells on the battery cell supporting plate 212 and the battery cell supporting plate 214 are limited between the limit push plate 35 and the side push plate 224. When designing, the battery cell supporting plate 212 and the battery cell supporting plate 214 are The upper end of the battery is 5MM higher than the conveyor belt of the battery cell conveyor line 1. The side push linear module 221 and the limit drive cylinder 133 move in coordination, driving the battery cell clamped between the limit push plate 135 and the side push plate 124 to move to the battery cell conveyor line 1, so that the battery cell in contact with the limit push plate 135 is suspended above the battery cell conveyor line 1, and at the same time, it is ensured that the battery cell adjacent to the suspended battery cell is still on the battery cell support plate 1212 and the battery cell support plate 214. Then the limit drive cylinder 133 is retracted to drive the limit push plate 135 to separate from the battery cell. Due to the loss of the limit thrust of the limit push plate 135, the battery cell suspended above the battery cell conveyor line 1 falls on the battery cell conveyor line 1 and moves forward with the conveyance of the battery cell conveyor line 1. According to the work rhythm, the above process is repeated to continuously transport the battery cells on the battery cell support plate 1212 and the battery cell support plate 214 to the battery cell conveyor line 1 one by one.

[0027] Reference Figure 8As shown, the battery cell limiting unit 2 5 includes a limiting support frame 2 51, a linear guide rail 3 52, a limiting driving cylinder 2 53, a limiting moving frame 2 54, a limiting push plate 2 55, a slider 2 56, a vertical support plate 1 57, a linear guide rail 4 58, a slider 4 59 and a vertical driving cylinder 510.

The working principle of the battery cell limit unit 25 is similar to that of the battery cell limit unit 13, except that a vertical drive part is added, and the limit push plate 255 is driven to approach or move away by the limit drive cylinder 253, and the added vertical drive cylinder 510 can drive the limit push plate 255 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the limit push plate 255, and avoiding the battery cells transported on the battery cell conveyor line 1. When the battery cell loading unit 2 is loading, the vertical driving cylinder 510 drives the limit push plate 2 55 to rise, and the height of the limit push plate 2 55 is higher than the height of the battery cells on the battery cell conveyor line 1, so that the battery cells conveyed by the battery cell conveyor line 1 are conveyed in sequence, and the battery cell loading unit 2 is ready for loading; when the battery cell loading unit 2 4 is working, the vertical driving cylinder 510 drives the limit push plate 2 55 to descend, so that the limit push plate 2 55 and the battery cells on the battery cell loading unit 2 4 are at the same horizontal height, and the limit driving cylinder 2 53 pushes the limit push plate 2 55 to limit the battery cells.

The fixed limit bar 12 and the movable limit bar 13 are respectively arranged on both sides of the moving direction of the conveyor belt body 11, and the movable limit bar 13 is connected to the limit bar driving device 14. The limit bar driving device 14 drives the movable limit bar 13 to approach or move away from the fixed limit bar 12. The height of the upper end surface of the cell support plate 1 212 and the cell support plate 2 214 is higher than the conveyor belt body 11 by 5MM. Therefore, the cell between the side push plate 1 224 and the limit push plate 1 35 that contacts the limit push plate 1 35 is suspended above the conveyor belt body 11. When the pressure between the side push plate 1 224 and the limit push plate 1 35 is released, the cell that contacts the limit push plate 1 35 will fall on the conveyor belt body 11.
