The battery cover is then lifted up after being adsorbed by the transplanting and handling module 6. The short side of the battery cover is inspected by the visual inspection module 2 15. The transplanting and handling module 6 rotates the battery cover 90 degrees and transplants it above the visual inspection module 1 14 and the visual inspection module 8 21 to inspect the two long sides and the bottom surface.

[0027] A visual inspection module three 16 is provided at one end of the inspection conveyor line 3. The transplanting and handling module 6 transports the battery cover to the top of the inspection conveyor line 3, rotates it 90 degrees again, and inspects the other short side thereof through the visual inspection module three 16.
