The winding motor 27 is connected to the rotating gear 26 through a belt. The winding motor 27 is driven to drive the rotating gear 26 to rotate, thereby rotating the winding needle 22 to rotate and winding the battery cell. A pulling head 25 is provided on the winding needle mounting rod 21. After the needle insertion and extraction assembly 4 is connected to the pulling head 25, the pulling head 25 is driven to move, driving the winding needle 22 to move, thereby extending or retracting the winding needle 22.
