The lifting plate 61 lifts the battery cell to realize the transfer action. The lifting plate 61 is supported on the bottom of the battery cell, and there is no need to consider the structure of the battery cell. Therefore, it can adapt to the transfer needs of most battery cells, has a wider range of applications, and saves most of the time for independent tooling design, greatly reducing the time cost.

[0045] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent.
