[0003] After the OCV test of the electric core is completed, the electric core needs to be blanked and tray loaded. The existing electric core blanking is carried out by a conveyor belt. The electric core is placed on the conveyor belt along the direction of the conveyor belt. In the conveying process, there is a gap between the electric cores. When the electric core is conveyed to the end positioning plate, the following electric core will touch the front electric core under the positioning action of the first electric core, so that the gap between the electric cores disappears. There is a gap between the electric core accommodation positions on the battery tray. Therefore, the ordinary multi-station manipulator cannot place all the electric cores on the battery tray by grabbing the electric cores on the conveyor belt at one time.
