Description

[0002] With the vigorous development of the new energy industry, batteries are widely used in various intelligent devices, leading to a sharp increase in demand for batteries. However, the traditional battery casing process generally involves feeding the wound battery cells through a feeding conveyor, and then manually loading the battery cells on the steel shell by hand, which results in low production efficiency.

[0003] The prior art such as patent application CN202321206703.0 uses a first mechanical clamping hand to clamp the battery cells on the feeding conveyor, which requires the battery cells to be first transported to a turnover device for turnover processing to change the flatly placed battery cells to vertically placed battery cells, and then a second mechanical clamping hand clamps the vertically placed battery cells in the turnover device into the vertically placed carrying fixture of the casing conveyor, and then the casing conveyor transports the vertically placed carrying fixture to the steel shell pressing device to press the steel shell into the carrying fixture to complete the casing of the battery cells. Although this can achieve automatic loading and casing of battery cells, it improves efficiency compared to manual assembly, but since the battery cells are flatly placed when feeding, and the mechanical clamping hand can only clamp in one direction, and needs to be turned over by the turnover device, the production process of the battery is relatively complex.
