[0033] Working principle: In the cell conveying and alignment stage, the conveyor belt 4 on the support platform 1 operates under the drive of the drive motor. The fixed block 5 on the surface holds the lithium battery cell for conveying. The first motor 207 drives the rotating rod 202 to rotate through the belt 205, so that the conveyor belt 209 on the rotating rod 202 runs synchronously and forms a coordinated conveying with the conveyor belt 4.

The classified battery cells fall into the collection box 314 below along the channels. The second hydraulic pump 317 on the collection box 314 drives the buffer plate 318 to reduce the impact of the falling battery cells and prevent damage. When the collection box 314 is full, the battery cells can be removed from the discharge port 315 for subsequent packaging. Through the close cooperation of various mechanisms, efficient and accurate packaging and classification of lithium battery cells are achieved.
