Therefore, the battery core conveying device has the advantages of simple structure, convenience in installation and debugging, small occupied area, space saving and low noise.

It should be noted that, during the process of moving the clamp unit 2 in the lateral direction, the transmission portion 21 in transmission engagement with the driving member 1 is gradually separated from the driving member 1, and at this time, the transmission portion 21 of the next clamp unit 2 can gradually approach the driving member 1 and be in transmission engagement with the driving member 1, so that continuous movement of the clamp unit 2 can be achieved. In addition, the specific structure of the transmission part 21 is not limited by the present disclosure, which will be described in detail in the following embodiments. Furthermore, the driving member 1 of the present disclosure may be configured as a motor, nor is the present disclosure limited thereto.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to fig. 1 to 3 and 5, the transmission part 21 may be configured as a rack extending in a lateral direction, and a gear 3 engaged with the rack is coupled to the driving member 1.
