Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery production technology, specifically relating to an automatic unbinding mechanism for a battery restraint tray. Background Technology

[0002] In current battery production, battery trays are categorized into clamped trays and ordinary trays. When batteries arrive in clamped trays, the trays are in a clamped state. Currently, the unclamping operation of existing battery clamped trays largely relies on manual labor after the clamping task is completed. Manual unclamping is not only inefficient and costly in terms of manpower, but also prone to damage to the batteries due to human error, affecting battery performance and quality. Furthermore, manual operation cannot meet the demands of large-scale, automated production. Therefore, it is necessary to add an automatic unclamping function to automated production lines to improve battery production efficiency and quality. Summary of the Invention
