The output shaft of each control cylinder 307 is rotatably connected to the other end of one of the drive plates 305.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drive plate 305 on the control cylinder 307 has an "L" shaped structure. The drive plate 305 is located at the center line of the mounting plate 301, which is conducive to the control cylinder 307 controlling the swing of the drive plate 305, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the cover plate 302.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, multiple sets of guide rails 303 are installed on both sides of the mounting frame 1. Two sliders 304 are slidably connected to the guide rails 303 respectively. Multiple mounting plates 301 are slidably connected to the guide rails 303 through the sliders 304. The mounting plates 301 are slidably connected to the mounting frame 1. Through the cooperation of the guide rails 303 and the sliders 304, the mounting plates 301 and the mounting frame 1 can slide, which facilitates the closing of the cover plate 302 and pushes it to make the cover plate 302 close tightly. At the same time, after the cover plate 302 is opened, it can slide to a certain position, which makes it easy for the cover plate 302 to be temporarily placed on top of another cover plate 302.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, multiple adjusting cylinders 306 are installed on both sides of the mounting bracket 1. The output shafts of the multiple adjusting cylinders 306 are respectively connected to the mounting plate 301.

The baffle 308 slides smoothly with the inside of the cover plate 302.

[0035] In use, this invention first stacks multiple heating boxes 203 on the mounting frame 1 as needed, enabling sequential feeding and heating of multiple battery cells, thus improving production efficiency. Through the cooperation of the air supply assembly 4 and the vacuum assembly 5, air is supplied to the interior of the heating box 203 and moisture is removed. With the assistance of the ventilation plate 202, hot air is evenly delivered into the heating box 203. The installation of multiple mounting plates 301 facilitates the installation of multiple control cylinders 307. The operation of the multiple control cylinders 307 drives multiple drive plates 305, which in turn drives multiple cover plates 302, closing the cover plates 302 with the heating box 203 for easy heating. The re-operation of the control cylinders 307 pulls the drive plates 305 onto the cover plates 302, achieving... The cover plate 302 and the heating box 203 are opened to facilitate loading and unloading. Only one cover plate 302 on the heating box 203 can be opened for loading at the same time. After loading is completed, the automatic drive control cylinder 307 closes the cover plate 302 to realize the heating of the battery cell. After heating is completed, the automatic control of the cover plate 302 opens, and a robot or stacker crane performs the unloading operation. At the same time, the cooperation of the guide rail 303 and the slider 304 facilitates the sliding of the mounting plate 301 and the mounting frame 1.
