Among them, the lateral moving mechanism 23 and the vertical moving mechanism 22 are commonly used moving mechanisms, which are mainly used to drive the grabbing unit 21 to move in a certain direction. The conveyor belt mechanism 3 is a commonly used transmission mechanism, which is mainly used for the transmission of empty pallets.

[0020] The battery tray transport device of this embodiment is provided with a position sensor on the battery tray support platform. The position sensor is used to sense the position of the grabbing unit and the position adjustment mechanism is controlled by an external control system to adjust the position of the battery tray support platform, so that the battery tray can be accurately placed on the battery tray support platform, thereby effectively improving the transport efficiency of the battery tray.

[0021] In this embodiment, the position adjustment mechanism 4 includes an electric cylinder 41 installed on the support 1 and a support block 42 installed on the moving end of the electric cylinder 41. The support block 42 extends between the support columns 12 and is supported on the bottom of the battery tray support platform 11 as the moving end of the electric cylinder 41 moves, thereby driving the battery tray support platform 11 to move slightly.
