[0034] Working principle:

[0035] In operation, when the battery string enters the EL (Electrical Energizer) detection phase, the slide cylinder retracts, positioning the EL-processed component directly above the pressure bar fixing block. Simultaneously, the cylinder pushes the EL-processed component downwards, and the cylinder also pushes the pressure bar fixing block upwards, ensuring stable and rapid contact with the EL-processed component and improving EL detection efficiency. Through the linkage of the EL-processing component and the moving EL-processing component, stable and efficient EL detection of the battery string can be performed. When switching between battery strings of different lengths using the same battery cells, the servo motor in the drive unit, in conjunction with a reducer, directly connects to the synchronous rail and synchronous belt, driving the slide connecting plate to move on the guide rail. This allows the moving EL-processing component to be precisely positioned under the control of the servo motor.
