Assembly apparatus and assembly method

Abstract

An assembly apparatus and an assembly method. The assembly apparatus is configured to assemble a battery cell. The assembly apparatus includes a first guide rail mechanism, where the first guide rail mechanism is located at a housing entry station, a gap is formed between the first guide rail mechanism and an adjacent second guide rail mechanism; a moving mechanism configured to convey an electrode assembly of the battery cell to the housing entry station; and a pressure measurement mechanism fixedly connected to the first guide rail mechanism, where the pressure measurement mechanism is configured to support weights of the first guide rail mechanism and the moving mechanism located on the first guide rail mechanism, and measure a pressure experienced by the electrode assembly during the process of placing the electrode assembly inside a housing.
