[0060] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The stripping mechanism 4 includes a wire pressing wheel 41 and a wire cutting knife 42. The wire pressing wheel 41 is driven by a wire pressing wheel driving mechanism and used for pressing the wire, and the wire cutting knife 42 is driven by a wire cutting knife driving device and used for the operation of cutting the wire and stripping the insulation.

The cut wire is guided into the inside of the riveting die 53 through another hollow wire tube and is connected with the electrode strip, and then the riveting machine 52 completes the riveting operation of the electrode strip and the wire under the cooperation of the riveting die 53. During the pressing process of the upper die, the upper positioning clamps 55 descend synchronously, and because the shapes of the lower positioning clamps 54 and the upper positioning clamps 55 are similar to the mouth of a horn, the distance between them gradually decreases during the descending process, so as to achieve the purpose of restraining the position of the electrode strip.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8The glue wheel assembly comprises a driving glue wheel 62 and a passive glue wheel 63 arranged oppositely, a part of the driving glue wheel 62 is immersed in the glue and connected with a motor 64 for driving the driving glue wheel 62 to rotate, the passive glue wheel 63 is in contact with the driving glue wheel 62 and can be driven to rotate by the driving glue wheel 62, and meanwhile the glue in the glue storage tank 61 can be transferred to the passive glue wheel 63.
