[0024] Working principle: The second handling robot 92 takes out the riveted battery box assembly from the positioning fixture 2 and automatically places it into the assembly storage box 83. It also takes out the battery box frame upper part from the frame storage box 82 and places it into the positioning fixture 2. At the same time, the first handling robot 91 takes out the water-cooled plate from the water-cooled plate material box, applies glue to both sides at the glue gun 6, and places it on the positioning fixture 2. The cylinder part in the positioning fixture 2 clamps the workpiece. The second handling robot 92 continues to grab the front and rear crossbeam upper parts from the front and rear crossbeam upper part table 7 and places them into the positioning fixture 2. All the cylinders in the positioning fixture 2 clamp the workpiece.

[0025] The rotary table 1 rotates, driving the positioning fixture 2 to the glue pressing station. The glue pressing mechanism 4 slides to the top of the positioning fixture 2 on the rotary table 1 via the slide table 3. The glue pressing cylinder 42 extends and presses on the positioning fixture 2.
