[0002] In the process of battery plate production, the automation degree of the curing and conveying system directly affects the production efficiency and the quality of battery plates. Most traditional conveying systems adopt a single-track structure.

However, its track layout is fixed, and it cannot achieve flexible multi-directional transfer. Moreover, it relies on manual operation for positioning, which easily leads to stacking deviation or collision of battery plates. In addition, Patent CN7890123B discloses a conveying device for a plate curing chamber, which proposes a conveying vehicle with a lifting mechanism. However, there is a lack of a sealing design between its track and the curing chamber, resulting in unstable control of the temperature and humidity in the curing chamber and affecting the curing effect of battery plates.
