The second stacking and conveying part 43 is located in the second magazine stacking rack 42, and the second stacking and conveying part 43 is used for conveying the full magazines filled with the qualified battery strings output by the battery string receiving mechanism 3 to each second magazine accommodating groove 44 in sequence.

The full cartridges filled with qualified battery strings output by the battery string receiving mechanism 3 are automatically stacked in the third magazine stack 42 through the cooperation of the second stack frame lifting part 41 and the second stacking conveying part 43.

When the third magazine stack rack 42 is full, the system prompts manual material taking, and after the magazine is taken away manually, the second magazine stack rack lifting part 41 drives the third magazine stack rack 42 to return to receive the full magazine again.

Optionally, similar to the empty magazine stacking mechanism 2, a photoelectric sensor is also arranged on the full magazine stacking mechanism 4, and the photoelectric sensor is configured to detect whether full magazines exist in each second magazine accommodating groove 44 layer by layer in a process that the second magazine lifting portion 41 drives the third magazine stacking rack 42 to return after manually taking out the magazines, and control the second magazine lifting portion 41 to stop driving when a full magazine is detected, so that the second magazine accommodating groove 44 adjacent to the second magazine accommodating groove 44 where the detected full magazine exists and where no full magazine exists is in butt joint with the battery string receiving mechanism 3, and subsequent full magazine receiving is performed.

The invention has been described above with a certain degree of particularity and detail. It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the description of the embodiments is merely exemplary and that all changes that may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the present invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description of the embodiments.
