S3.3 Battery pack locking Use a thread locking tool to tighten the front cover of the battery rack with bolts; jump to step S3.1 and repeat the process until the current battery rack is installed, then proceed to step 5; Step 4: Install multiple battery racks simultaneously Simultaneously start a plurality of automatic guided vehicle loading vehicles corresponding to each battery rack, and then each automatic guided vehicle loading vehicle respectively executes step S3.1 to step S3.3; Step 5: Install and check the battery pack Check whether the device is installed firmly and mark the bolts after confirming that they are tightened; Step 6: End Retract the automatic guided vehicle and end the installation.
