Abstract

The present application relates to an adhesive applying apparatus, an adhesive applying method and a battery processing device. The adhesive applying apparatus includes a workbench, an adhesive applying mechanism, a detection assembly, and a visual compensation module. The detection assembly can detect to obtain current positions of a battery cell and adhesive paper respectively. The visual compensation module can obtain a total deviation value based on a deviation value between the current position of the battery cell and its target position and a deviation value between the current position of the adhesive paper and its target position, and then correct an adhesive applying position of the adhesive applying mechanism based on the total deviation value, so that the adhesive applying mechanism can apply adhesive on the battery cell at the corrected adhesive applying position, thereby effectively improving precision of adhesive applying for the battery cell.
