[0002] Currently, the country is vigorously promoting new energy sources, and the lithium battery industry has also developed significantly. Under these circumstances, the requirements for the production quality of lithium batteries are becoming increasingly stringent, especially in the sorting process of cylindrical lithium batteries.

[0003] Currently, most coding and inspection devices in the industry use coding devices composed of motors, synchronous belts, cylinders, etc. This device has the following disadvantages: First, the device uses rubber-coated grippers to hold cylindrical batteries, which poses a risk of the batteries falling during the gripping process. At the same time, the direct contact between the grippers and the batteries poses a risk of damaging the battery surface. Second, the device has a complex structure and many components. In the case of limited space, the installation space between the various sub-mechanisms is very limited, which greatly increases the difficulty of installation, debugging and maintenance.
