The substrate turntable 42 is used to store the substrate 83. The substrate turntable 42 is provided with a plurality of guide shafts, and the substrates 83 are stacked one by one on the substrate turntable 42 through the guide shafts. After the sealing gasket 82 is assembled on the positive pole 81 and the negative pole 86, the turntable 12 of the rotating mechanism 1 will rotate to turn the carrier body 13 to align with the substrate transfer mechanism 4.

[0041] See attached Figure 7 and attached Figure 8 As shown, the assembly process of the battery cover plate pole is as follows: first, the sealing gasket 82 is respectively sleeved on the positive pole 81 and the negative pole 86, and then the substrate 83 is simultaneously sleeved on the positive pole 81 and the negative pole 86. Two circular holes are opened on the substrate 83, and the positive pole 81 and the negative pole 86 just pass through.

A plurality of positioning guide rods 73 are provided between the floating pressing plate 71 and the cylinder. The floating pressing plate 71 will rotate circumferentially relative to the telescopic cylinder 72 during the downward pressing process, so that the pressing mold cannot be exactly aligned with the positive pole 81 and the negative pole 86. The added positioning guide rods 73 limit the rotation of the floating pressing plate 71, that is, the pressing mold, so that the pressing mold always remains directly opposite to the positive pole 81 and the negative pole 86 during the upward and downward movement, thereby increasing the stability of the pressing.

[0044] See attached Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the unloading mechanism 9 includes a visual inspection camera 93 and a defective product box 94. The visual inspection camera 93 includes a horizontally arranged camera 1 931 and a vertically arranged camera 2 932, which are used to inspect the assembly of the battery cover. The camera 1 931 inspects the assembly and pressing of the battery cover from the side, and the camera 2 932 inspects the above from the bottom.
