[0016] The following further describes the present utility model with reference to the drawings.

[0017] As Figure 1 shown, a battery cell insertion unit 1 is provided on a workbench 4. A bracket feeding unit 2 is provided on one side of the battery cell insertion unit 1, and a bracket storage unit 3 is provided on one side of the bracket feeding unit 2.

[0018] As Figure 2 shown, the battery cell insertion unit 1 includes an insertion manipulator 1-1, a battery cell suction device 1-2, and a guide plate 1-3. The lower end of the insertion manipulator 1-1 is connected to the battery cell suction device 1-2. A guide plate 1-3 is provided below the battery cell suction device 1-2. A plurality of battery cell through holes 1-4 are provided on the guide plate 1-3. A lifting cylinder is provided on the workbench 4 below the guide plate 1-3, and a limit valve 1-5 is provided on one side of the lifting cylinder.

[0019] The lower end of the guide plate 1-3 is connected to the workbench 4 through a support rod 1-6 to play a supporting role.

[0020] As Figure 3 shown, a chamfer structure is provided on one side of the battery cell through hole 1-4 to facilitate the insertion manipulator 1-1 to place the battery cell into the battery cell bracket 5.

[0021] As Figure 4 shown, the bracket feeding unit 2 includes a conveying mechanism 2-1 and a fixed tray 2-2. The conveying mechanism 2-1 is provided on one side of the workbench 4, and a plurality of stacked fixed trays 2-2 are provided on the other side of the conveying mechanism 2-1. Positioning blocks 2-3 are provided at the four corners of the fixed tray 2-2. The structure of the positioning block 2-3 is L-shaped, which is used to cooperate with the four corners of the battery cell bracket 5 for positioning and at the same time plays a protective role for the four corners of the battery cell bracket 5.

[0022] As Figure 5As shown in the figure, the bracket storage unit 3 includes a bracket-gripping manipulator 3-1, a bracket transfer vehicle 3-2, and a bracket lifting cylinder 3-3. The lower end of the bracket-gripping manipulator 3-1 is provided with the bracket transfer vehicle 3-2. A number of bracket storage slots 3-5 are provided inside the bracket transfer vehicle 3-2. A bracket lifting cylinder 3-3 is provided on one side of the bracket transfer vehicle 3-2, and the bracket lifting cylinder 3-3 is connected to a pallet 3-4.

[0023] When the present utility model is in use, the battery cell bracket is loaded into the bracket storage slot 3-5 inside the bracket transfer vehicle 3-2. The bracket lifting cylinder 3-3 drives the pallet 3-4 to move up and down. The pallet 3-4 extends into the bracket storage slot 3-5, driving the battery cell bracket 5 to move to the lower part of the bracket manipulator 3-1. After the bracket manipulator 3-1 grabs the battery cell bracket 5, the battery cell bracket 5 is placed on the fixed pallet 2-2. Then, the conveying mechanism 2-1 conveys the fixed pallet 2-2 and the battery cell bracket 5 together to the workbench 4. When the fixed pallet 2-2 and the battery cell bracket 5 are located below the insertion manipulator 1-1, the top cylinder jacks up the fixed pallet 2-2, so that the upper end of the battery cell bracket 5 abuts against the lower end of the guide plate 1-3. After the battery cell suction device 1-2 grabs the battery cell, the insertion manipulator 1-1 drives the battery cell suction device 1-2 above the guide plate 1-3. The battery cell passes through the battery cell through-hole 1-4 of the guide plate and enters the battery cell bracket 5 to complete the insertion.

[0024] During specific use, the positioning blocks 2-3 at the four corners of the fixed pallet 2-2 form a bracket installation cavity, and the bracket manipulator 3-1 places the grabbed bracket into the bracket installation cavity.
