By disposing a frame 21 of the detection component 20 on one side of the testing platform 10, a detection member 22 is movably disposed on the frame 21. When it is necessary to perform voltage detection on the battery cell on the battery cell placement portion 11, the detection member 22 is controlled to move so that the testing portion of the detection member 22 contacts the pole ear of the battery cell, thereby ensuring that the battery cell can be detected. Among them, in order to facilitate the cleaning of metal particles on the surface of the battery cell after voltage detection, a first driving member 31 is arranged on the frame 21, and the first driving member 31 is driven and connected to the cleaning member 32, so that the cleaning member 32 can be driven to move relative to the battery cell placement portion 11, so that the cleaning member 32 can clean the metal particles on the surface of the battery cell placed on the battery cell placement portion 11. In this way, after the battery cell is voltage tested by the detection member 22, the cleaning member 32 cleans the surface of the battery cell, which facilitates the sticking of the film on the surface of the battery cell, thereby ensuring that the battery cell after detection is pasted and fixed.

[0031] It should be noted that the first driving member 31 is disposed on the frame 21 , including that the first driving member 31 is directly disposed on the frame 21 , or that the first driving member 31 is indirectly disposed on the frame 21 .
