[0024] For the above-provided full-automatic production line layout for the production of capacitive cylindrical batteries, the material boxes in the nail winding section 10 are transported to the handling and transporting line 30 through the logistics line 20. The handling and transporting line 30 is used to transport the material boxes to the baking section 40 and the cooler 50 for processing. The empty material boxes are transported back to the logistics line 20 through the return line 70. A whole towing line is used to drive two production lines, providing a relatively large material transportation distance.
