Before welding, the battery cell is inserted into the detection assembly 4. Since the areas of the positive and negative contact points of the battery cell are different, the detection assembly 4 can judge the positive and negative poles of the battery cell according to the contact area of ​​the battery cell; The moving component 16 is connected to the workbench 1 and is connected to the detection component 4. The moving component 16 is used to move the position of the battery cell to facilitate the welding of the battery cell. During the welding process of the battery cell, the position of the battery cell can be adjusted, so that the welding head 3 can be aligned with the position of the battery cell to automatically weld the battery cell; The test component is connected to the workbench 1, and the test component is connected to the detection component 4.
