[0002] In the prior art, during the battery cover pressing process, the battery cover is usually placed on a loading and unloading device, which sends the battery cover to a heating device for preheating. After the preheating is completed, the battery cover is sent to a pressing device, which applies pressure to the battery cover for pressing. After the pressing is completed, the battery cover is sent out of the device.

[0003] This traditional battery cover processing method has the following shortcomings:

[0004] First, traditional equipment usually uses a single station or a small number of stations for pressing, and cannot process multiple battery covers at the same time, resulting in low production efficiency;

[0006] Third, when the temperature is low, during the heating process of the battery cover, due to the different tolerance levels of battery covers made of different materials, if the temperature difference is too large, due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the battery cover quickly absorbs too much heat, and the volume change exceeds its tolerance range. Therefore, part of the battery cover material is damaged during the subsequent processing.
