[0072] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this invention is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

One of the battery liquid injection mechanism cleaning mechanisms 8 is responsible for the battery liquid injection and cup cleaning of two of the battery fixture transfer conveyor lines 7. When one of the battery jigs 13 on the battery jig transfer conveyor line 7 is full of batteries, the loading robot 3 moves the batteries to another battery jig 13. In this way, the four battery jig transfer conveyor lines 7 can alternate loading and unloading, reducing the waiting time for battery liquid filling and resting, and improving efficiency.

The docking plate 722 is vertically connected to the traction motor mounting plate 721 via guide columns. Two sets of traction roller sets 725 are provided at one end of the docking plate 722. The traction motor mounting plate 721 is slidably connected to the guide rail 74 via a slider. Fixed cylinders 78 are installed on both sides of the transfer conveyor rail 71 at the liquid injection station and the material loading station. When the battery fixture traction mechanism 72 pulls the battery fixture 13 to the liquid injection station and the material loading station, the fixed cylinders 78 extend to fix the battery fixture 13. When the battery fixture traction mechanism 72 sends the battery fixture 13 into the stationary mechanism 11, the docking plate control cylinder 724 controls the docking plate 722 to descend, and the traction motor 723 controls the traction motor mounting plate 721 to exit the stationary mechanism 11.

The nail feeding mechanism picks up glue nails and arranges them on the glue nail platform. The rotary nailing mechanism picks up multiple glue nails from the glue nail platform at one time. The rotary nailing mechanism uses a method of pressing down and rotating the glue nails while nailing. The rotary nailing mechanism includes a first mounting bracket, on which a horizontal servo module is mounted. The horizontal servo module controls the movement of a lifting servo module, which in turn controls the movement of a lifting plate. The lifting plate is equipped with a front and rear control servo motor. The bottom of the lifting plate is connected to a mounting plate via a slide rail and a slider. Multiple nail-removing tubes are arranged at intervals on the mounting plate. The lower end of each nail-removing tube extends out of the mounting plate, and the upper end of each nail-removing tube is equipped with a synchronous pulley. Two adjacent synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt. The mounting plate is also equipped with two rotary control servo motors. The output shafts of the two rotary control servo motors are equipped with active synchronous pulleys. One of the rotary control servo motors controls the rotation of the four nail-removing tubes, and the other rotary control servo motor controls the rotation of the five nail-removing tubes. The active synchronous pulley is connected to the synchronous pulley on one of the nail-removing tubes through a second synchronous belt.
8. The liquid injection production equipment for cylindrical power batteries according to claim 7, characterized in that, The rotating nailing mechanism is provided with a battery clamping and positioning mechanism on its corresponding surface. The battery clamping and positioning mechanism is slidably mounted on the second mounting bracket. The second mounting bracket is provided with a position adjustment component, which adjusts the position of the battery clamping and positioning mechanism. The battery pressing and positioning mechanism includes a vertical plate, on which a battery pressing cylinder and a linear guide rail are provided. The linear guide rail is connected to a sliding plate via a linear slider. The piston rod of the battery pressing cylinder is connected to the sliding plate. The sliding plate is provided with a second linear guide rail, an upper air spring, and a lower air spring. The second linear guide rail is connected to the pressing plate via a second linear slider. The position adjustment assembly includes an adjustment handwheel, on which a first pulley is provided, and on which a second mounting bracket is provided a second pulley. The second pulley is connected to the first pulley via a synchronous belt, and the battery clamping and positioning mechanism is connected to the synchronous belt via a connecting block. The nail supply mechanism includes a machine base, on which a hopper, a nail-picking robot, and a nail positioning mesh are provided. The hopper is mounted on a vibrator, and the nails vibrated down from the hopper fall onto the nail positioning mesh. The nail-picking robot picks up three nails at a time from the nail positioning mesh and places them on the nail platform. A camera is installed above the machine. The camera takes pictures of the glue nails on the glue nail mesh to determine the position of the glue nails, and sends the position information of the glue nails to the glue nail picking robot. The glue nail picking robot picks up the glue nails according to the position of the glue nails provided by the camera. The glue-removing robot includes an X-axis servo module, a Y-axis servo module, and a Z-axis servo module. The X-axis servo module controls the movement of the Y-axis servo module, the Y-axis servo module controls the movement of the Z-axis servo module, and the Z-axis servo module controls the movement of the second lifting plate. The bottom of the second lifting plate is provided with a glue-removing suction tube mounting plate, and three glue-removing suction tubes are arranged at intervals on the glue-removing suction tube mounting plate.
