[0020] The specific workflow is as follows:

[0021] 1) Manually place the material box containing the battery cells to be formed to the inlet of the battery cell loading and unloading conveyor line 2, and automatically feed the battery cell loading and unloading conveyor line 2;

[0022] 2) The empty pallet (completed material) that has been unpacked is sent to the loading position 53 by the pallet conveyor line 5, and the charging clamps on the pallet are opened by the loading and clamping mechanisms 54 at both ends;

[0023] 3) The cells to be formed passing through the upper section of the cell loading and unloading conveyor line 2 are taken out by the loading robot 3, scanned, and placed on the empty tray at the loading position of the tray conveyor line 5 and clamped by the charging clamp. In this embodiment, two loading robots 3 are provided along the cell loading and unloading conveyor line 2, which can simultaneously take out and load the cells to be formed in two material boxes, thereby improving efficiency;

After unloading of a tray is completed, the unloading buffer mechanism 9 continues to drop one layer, the unloading tray feeding mechanism 7 continues to feed the tray, and the unloading robot 4 continues to unload materials, and thus all the trays in the unloading buffer mechanism 9 are unloaded, and the empty pallet that has completed the unloading flows to the loading position of the tray conveyor line 5 to continue the above operation, and the cycle is repeated.

When the loading cache mechanism 8 is loading, each layer of pallets is raised by one layer until the loading cache of all pallet placement positions is completed; when the unloading cache mechanism 9 is used for unloading, several layers of pallets which have been divided into different capacities are temporarily stored at one time. When unloading, the bottom layer of pallets is taken first, and after taking one layer, one layer is lowered until the unloading of the entire unloading cache mechanism 9 is completed.
