[0002] With the rapid development of the lithium battery industry, the market demand for the production capacity of lithium batteries is getting higher and higher. The production capacity of lithium battery factories is increasing rapidly, which has shortened the production cycle. The number of batteries to be produced per unit time has increased, and the labor intensity of workers during the transfer of batteries will increase significantly. When workers are fatigued, the collision between the battery and the carrier will increase when taking and placing the battery in and out of the carrier, resulting in more battery appearance defects and increasing the safety risk of the batteries flowing into the client. At present, each company adopts a fully automated production mode with appearance vision detection, which has a large investment cost. At the same time, it cannot significantly reduce the battery loss caused by bumps, and can only try to eliminate defects through appearance detection. Summary of the Utility Model
