[0031] The first air cylinders 251 can be arranged in parallel in multiple groups, and the distance between the axes of two adjacent first air cylinders 251 is the same as the distance between the axes of two adjacent battery placement grooves 117. The driving motor 114 works periodically, and each time it can drive the batteries to move from the feeding end 118 to the discharging end by a distance corresponding to the number of the first air cylinders 251.

[0032] The working principle is as follows:

[0033] The control module 4 instructs the driving motor 114 to start, and the driving motor 114 rotates to drive the first transmission roller 113 to rotate, and the first transmission roller 113 rotates to drive the first transmission belt 11 to move from the feeding end to the discharging end by the static friction between the first transmission roller 113 and the first transmission belt 11, and then drive the angular notch battery placing groove 117 and the battery to be detected therein to convey from the feeding end to the discharging end. Each periodic work can drive the first transmission belt 11 to move from the feeding end to the discharging end by the distance of one or several battery placing grooves 117. After the control module 4 receives the signal of the driving motor 114 stopping, the first adjusting valve 271 at the inlet of the first cylinder 251 is opened, and the piston rod of the first cylinder 251 starts to slowly extend. When the clamping plate 26 clamps the positive and negative poles of the battery, the positive and negative poles of the battery are connected after passing through the voltage detection module 31, and the voltage detection module 31 starts to detect the voltage of the clamped battery. When the detection result is qualified, the piston rod of the first cylinder 251 opposite to the first adjusting valve 271 will gradually contract, the clamping plate 26 releases the qualified battery, and the qualified battery is sent out from the discharging end of the first transmission belt 11. When the detection result is unqualified and the detection voltage is low, the control module 4 receives the information sent by the voltage detection module 31 and instructs the first adjusting valve 271 at the inlet of the first cylinder 251 to continue to keep the open state, and the piston rod of the first cylinder 251 will continue to keep the extension state, and the clamping plate 26 continues to clamp the battery. The control module 4 then instructs the second adjusting valve 272 at the inlet of the second cylinder 252 to gradually open, the piston rod of the second cylinder 252 gradually extends, and the sliding plate 24 at the movable end of the piston rod of the second cylinder 252 gradually rises to a predetermined second transmission belt height. The control module 4 then instructs the fourth adjusting valve 274 at the inlet of the fourth cylinder 254 to gradually open, the piston rod of the fourth cylinder 254 gradually extends, and the picking platform leg 23 at the movable end of the piston rod of the fourth cylinder 254 gradually moves along the advancing groove 115 and gradually reaches the predetermined second transmission belt feeding end 121. The control module 4 then instructs the first adjusting valve 271 at the inlet of the first cylinder 251 to close, and the piston rod of the first cylinder 251 opposite to the first adjusting valve 271 will gradually contract, and the clamping plate 26 releases the unqualified battery, and the unqualified battery falls on the second transmission belt 12 and is sent out from the discharging end of the second transmission belt 12. When the detection result is unqualified and the detection voltage is low, the control module 4 receives the information sent by the voltage detection module 31 and instructs the first adjusting valve 271 at the inlet of the first cylinder 251 to continue to keep the open state, and the piston rod of the first cylinder 251 will continue to keep the extension state, and the clamping plate 26 continues to clamp the battery. The control module 4 then instructs the second adjusting valve 272 at the inlet of the second cylinder 252 to gradually open, the piston rod of the second cylinder 252 gradually extends, and the sliding plate 24 at the movable end of the piston rod of the second cylinder 252 gradually rises to a predetermined third transmission belt height.The control module 4 then instructs the fourth regulating valve 274 of the fourth cylinder 254 inlet to gradually open, the fourth cylinder 254 piston rod gradually extends, the picking platform leg 23 of the fourth cylinder 254 piston rod moving end gradually moves along the travel groove 115, and gradually reaches the predetermined third conveying belt inlet end 131. The control module 4 then instructs the first regulating valve 271 of the first cylinder 251 inlet to close, the opposite first cylinder 251 piston rod will gradually contract, the clamp plate 26 releases the tightened unqualified battery, and the unqualified battery falls onto the third conveying belt 13 and waits to be sent out from the third conveying belt 13 outlet end by the third conveying belt 13. After the picking assembly 2 releases the unqualified battery onto the corresponding conveying belt, the picking assembly 2 is restored to the original starting state under the instruction of the control module 4. When the picking assembly 2 is restored to the starting state, the driving motor 114 is started again to transport a new batch of batteries to the picking assembly 2 and transport the qualified batteries detected from the first conveying belt 11 outlet.

[0034] The third regulating valve 273 is arranged at the air inlet end of the third cylinder 253, and the opening of the third regulating valve 273 is adjusted to adjust the extension and contraction length of the third cylinder 253 piston rod, so as to adjust the distance between the two opposite H-shaped supports 22, so as to adapt to the detection and picking of batteries of different lengths.
