The driving motor 21 is started to drive the moving support 34 to move away from the first support to flatten the battery piece. The battery piece is flattened and then sorted and tested. After the test is completed, the vacuumizing equipment stops working to make the vacuum chuck not suck the battery piece, and the battery piece is removed. Then the driving motor 21 drives the moving support 34 to move close to the first support to reset the moving support 34 to flatten the next battery piece.

[0051] The technical scheme of the utility model has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but the person skilled in the art can easily understand that the protection scope of the utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. The person skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features without deviating from the principles of the utility model, and the technical schemes after the changes or replacements will all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
