Specifically, the batteries include but are not limited to round lithium batteries, cylindrical nickel-hydrogen batteries, and cylindrical disposable batteries. The battery shell can be adsorbed by a magnet. The cylindrical battery flipping and upright conveying device 10 includes a conveying frame 11, a driving mechanism 12, and a conveying assembly 13.

The conveying fixture 132 is fixed above the conveying member 131. The conveying fixture 132 is provided with a plurality of magnetic suction members 1321 for adsorbing the battery. When the battery is conveyed from the upstream device 20 through the feeding side 112, the conveying fixture 132 firmly adsorbs the battery through the magnetic suction member 1321 and drives it to move along the conveying path.

After the batteries enter the transfer double groove 1424, the two bottom push cylinders 1427 drive the L-shaped push member 1433 to push the batteries horizontally, so that the batteries move along the conveying path, ensuring that the batteries are always in a stable state during the conveying process to avoid sliding or tilting. At the same time, the two middle push cylinders 1426 prevent the rolling of the upper batteries from interfering with the normal operation of the bottom push cylinder 1427 through the action of the blocking plate 1432.
