Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION The present application claims priority to Chinese patent application 202311219355.5 entitled "PALLETIZING AND TRANSFERRING APPARATUS, PALLETIZING METHOD, AND BATTERY PRODUCTION SYSTEM" and filed on September 21, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD The present application relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a palletizing and transferring apparatus, a palletizing method, and a battery production system. BACKGROUND In some related arts, when a battery module needs to be transferred, the battery module is placed on a pallet, and the battery module is fixed to the pallet through a manual operation, resulting in low transferring efficiency. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Some embodiments of the present application provide a palletizing and transferring apparatus, a palletizing method, and a battery production system to alleviate the problem that the transferring efficiency is low. Some embodiments of the present application further provide a palletizing and transferring apparatus, including: a support plate;a first abutting member, arranged on the support plate and configured to abut against a first side of an object to be palletized;a second abutting member, movably arranged on the support plate and configured to abut against a second side of the object to be palletized; anda first power assembly, configured to drive the second abutting member to move so as to adjust spacing between the second abutting member and the first abutting member. When it is necessary to palletize and transfer the object to be palletized, the object to be palletized is placed on the support plate, and the first abutting member abuts against the first side of the object to be palletized. The second abutting member is driven to move by the first power assembly, and the spacing between the second abutting member and the first abutting member is adjusted, so that the second abutting member abuts against the second side of the object to be palletized to fix the object to be palletized and prevent the object to be palletized from colliding, deforming, falling off, etc. during a palletizing and transferring process. In addition, the second abutting member is driven to move by the first power assembly, the spacing between the second abutting member and the first abutting member is adjusted, so that the object to be palletized can be automatically fixed, and the transferring efficiency can be improved. In some embodiments, the palletizing and transferring apparatus further includes a first transmission member arranged on the support plate. The first transmission member is detachably connected to the first power assembly, and the first transmission member is configured to transmit power provided by the first power assembly to the second abutting member to cause the second abutting member to move. The first transmission member is detachably connected to the first power assembly. When the spacing between the second abutting member and the first abutting member needs to be adjusted, the first power assembly is connected to the first transmission member. The first transmission member transmits the power provided by the first power assembly to the second abutting member to cause the second abutting member to move, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the distance between the second abutting member and the first abutting member and realizing the fixation of the object to be palletized. When the object to be palletized is fixed, or in other cases where there is no need to adjust the spacing between the second abutting member and the first abutting member, the connection between the first power assembly and the first transmission member is released. This can not only prevent the first power assembly from being operated incorrectly to cause the first transmission member to move, but also facilitate the support plate carrying the object to be palletized for transferring without the need for the first power assembly to follow the support plate for transferring. In some embodiments, the palletizing and transferring apparatus further includes a second power assembly, which is connected to the first power assembly in a driving mode so as to cause the first power assembly to move toward or away from the first transmission member. The first power assembly moves toward the first transmission member, which can realize the connection between the first power assembly and the first transmission member. The first power assembly moves away from the first transmission member, which can realize the release of the connection between the first power assembly and the first transmission member. By driving the first power assembly to move toward or away from the first transmission member by the second power assembly, a position of the first power assembly can be automatically adjusted, thereby improving the transferring efficiency. In some embodiments, the pa
