The second positioning drive mechanism is disposed on the mounting plate and drives the top cover positioning block to move along the thickness direction of the battery cell, so that the top cover positioning block abuts against or moves away from the top cover of the battery cell.

7. The cell pre-folding tab device according to claim 1, characterized in that, The bending mechanism includes a bending component and a bending drive mechanism. The bending drive mechanism is located on the mounting plate and drives the bending component to bend the tabs and the top cover pins.

8. The cell pre-folding tab device according to claim 1, characterized in that, The pre-folded tab device for the battery cell also includes a leveling mechanism, which includes a leveling drive mechanism and a leveling block. The leveling drive mechanism is located on the mounting plate and drives the leveling block to move along the length of the battery cell to abut against or move away from the bent tab and the top cover pin.
