With the continuous movement of the magnetic driver, the case entering pulley 27 enters the first transition section 204 and first enters the first downward inclined section 2041, at this time, the whole movable support 252 descends downward for a first section displacement, and then the case entering pulley 27 enters the third horizontal section 2042, during the first section displacement, the aluminum case clamping and aligning mechanism 23 and the cell clamping and aligning mechanism 22 descend synchronously with the movable support 252 and are respectively located on two sides of the aluminum case 13 and the cell 14, and in the third horizontal section 2042, the driving mechanism 24 is started to drive the aluminum case clamping and aligning mechanism 23 and the cell clamping and aligning mechanism 22 to synchronously and horizontally move, so as to center and clamp the aluminum case 13 and the cell 14, and prepare for accurate alignment for subsequent case entering.
