[0082] This utility model provides a battery sealing machine 100. The feeding assembly 20 includes a feeding conveyor line 21 and a first transfer assembly 22. The feeding conveyor line 21 is connected to the machine base 10 and is used to transport battery casings. The first transfer assembly 22 is disposed on one side of the feeding conveyor line 21. A circular conveyor line 30 is disposed on one side of the feeding conveyor line 21. The circular conveyor line 30 is provided with a positioning clamp 31, which moves along the circular direction of the circular conveyor line 30. The first transfer assembly 22 transfers the battery casings transported by the feeding conveyor line 21 to the positioning clamp 31 of the circular conveyor line 30. The battery sealing assembly 40 is provided with multiple sealing modules 41, which are disposed on one side of the circular conveyor line 30 and along the circular direction of the circular conveyor line 30. Multiple sealing modules 41 are arranged sequentially to perform multiple step-by-step sealing and pressing of the battery casing in the positioning fixture 31. The unloading assembly 50 includes an unloading conveyor line 51 and a second transfer assembly 52. ​​The unloading conveyor line 51 is used to transport the sealed battery. The second transfer assembly 52 is set on one side of the circular conveyor line 30 and transfers the sealed battery from the positioning fixture 31 to the unloading conveyor line 51. The unloading conveyor line 51 is a finished product conveyor line or a defective product conveyor line 512, so as to realize that the battery casing is automatically fed, sealed, pressed and unloaded sequentially, avoiding the battery casing being sealed once by human intervention, improving the sealing effect of the battery sealing machine 100 on the battery casing, and at the same time, improving the sealing efficiency of the battery sealing machine 100 on the battery casing.
