The shipping pallet box 5 consists of a bottom tray 501, a side panel 502, an EPP inner liner 503, a foam cover 504, and a top cover 505, arranged from bottom to top. This process requires manual stacking and assembly layer by layer. Specifically, the unpacking and packing process requires a team of two. First, the shipping pallet box 5 is unpacked. Then, the batteries from the assembled pallet 6 are unpacked and transferred to the EPP inner liner 503. After the first layer of the EPP inner liner 503 is filled... Place desiccant, remove one layer of EPP liner 503 and stack them, repeat the traying steps. At the same time, when the batteries in the first layer of assembly tray 6 are removed, remove the first layer of tray and remove the batteries from the second layer of assembly tray 6 into the EPP liner 503, until the batteries with six layers of EPP liner 503 are packed. Finally, install the side panel 502, foam cover 504 and top cover 505 to complete the packaging. The entire process is characterized by inaccurate positioning, low manual efficiency, a large number of manual workers, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which seriously affects efficiency.

[0036] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the unpacking logistics line 1 and the assembly logistics line 2 are arranged adjacent to each other. They can be adjacent in the length direction or the width direction, preferably adjacent in the length direction. A robotic arm 4 is placed between the unpacking logistics line 1 and the assembly logistics line 2. A hopper 3 is located near the robotic arm 4 and contains a desiccant, specifically one or more combinations of silica gel desiccant, montmorillonite desiccant, calcium chloride desiccant, and lithium salt desiccant. A suction cup (not shown) is fixed to the robotic arm 4. The robotic arm 4 can adapt to the workstation settings of the unpacking logistics line 1 and the assembly logistics line 2. In this embodiment, the robotic arm 4 is a six-axis robotic arm. A six-axis robotic arm is an industrial robot with six degrees of freedom, namely, the degree of freedom of movement along the three rectangular coordinate axes (X, Y, and Z) and the degree of freedom of rotation around these three coordinate axes. The six-axis robotic arm is a KUKAKR6 model.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, the unpacking logistics line 1 includes a first logistics line body 11 and an unpacking machine (not shown). The first logistics line body 11 includes, in sequence according to the workpiece conveying direction, a first loading station 111, an unpacking station 112, a first loading buffer station 113, a handling station 114, a first unloading buffer station 115, and a first unloading station 116. The unpacking machine is fixed on the unpacking station 112, and the robot arm 4 is positioned close to the handling station 114. A multi-layer assembly tray containing batteries is placed on the first loading station 111. The unpacking machine is existing technology and can be manufactured by Dongguan Shuangren Machinery Co., Ltd. The SRHX series battery cell restraint unpacking machine of Mechanical Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. can separate multi-layer assembly pallets into single-layer pallets at unpacking station 112. The first loading buffer station 113 is used to buffer the single-layer pallets. When the single-layer pallet arrives at the handling station 114, the robot 4 removes the batteries from the single-layer pallet and moves them to the assembly station 213 of the assembly logistics line 2. The first unloading buffer station 115 is used to buffer the empty pallets. The first unloading station 116 is used to remove the empty pallets from the unpacking logistics line 1 for unified recycling.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the assembly logistics line 2 includes a second logistics line body 21 and a lift (not shown). The second logistics line body 21 includes, in sequence according to the workpiece conveying direction, a second loading station 211, a second loading buffer station 212, an assembly station 213, a second unloading buffer station 214, and a second unloading station 215.

The logistics line then moves the battery assembly pallets to the unpacking station 112, where the unpacking machine disassembles the batteries into single pallets. These pallets are then transferred to the first loading buffer station 113 and finally to the handling station 114. At the handling station 114, a six-axis robot removes the batteries from the pallets. After all the batteries in the pallets are removed, the empty pallets continue to be transferred sequentially to the first unloading buffer station 115 and the first unloading station 116 to complete the unloading process. On the assembly logistics line 2, the EPP liners of a single pallet are loaded onto the second loading station 211 and then sequentially conveyed to the second loading buffer station 212 and the assembly station via the logistics line. 213. At the assembly station 213, a six-axis robot picks up the batteries from the handling station 114 and places them into the EPP liner on the assembly station 213. After the EPP liner is filled with batteries, the suction cup of the six-axis robot picks up the desiccant in the material bin 3 and places it on the EPP liner batteries. Then, the six-axis robot picks up the EPP liner on the second loading buffer station 212 and stacks it on the first layer of EPP liner. The elevator lowers the EPP liner by one layer. The six-axis robot repeats the battery picking action. After the filling of six layers of batteries is completed, the elevator lifts the assembled batteries to the normal height. The EPP liner filled with batteries is transferred to the second unloading buffer station 215 through the logistics line to complete the packing and unloading.
