[0007] A first pressing device is arranged at a distance from the support member, and the first pressing device is used to press the electrode assembly to the first support portion;
[0008] The second clamping device is located on the same side of the support member as the first clamping device, and is spaced apart from the support member along the first direction. The second clamping device is used to clamp the tab to the second support portion, and the spacing direction between the first clamping device and the support member is the same as the first direction.
[0009] Before welding, the first clamping device first presses the electrode assembly onto the first support portion to reduce the gap between the pole pieces of the electrode assembly, and then the pole ear is pressed onto the second support portion by the second clamping device, so that the multi-layer pole ears can be arranged more closely, and then the multi-layer pole ears are welded using welding equipment to reduce the redundancy of the pole ears, thereby reducing the risk of the pole ears bending and causing a short circuit in the battery.
[0010] In some embodiments, the first pressing device comprises:
[0011] A first pressing assembly is spaced apart from the support member;
[0012] The first driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the first clamping assembly and is used to drive the first clamping assembly to clamp the electrode assembly onto the first supporting portion.

The electrode assembly is mainly formed by winding or stacking the positive and negative electrode sheets, and a separator is usually provided between the positive and negative electrode sheets. The parts of the positive and negative electrode sheets with active materials constitute the main body of the electrode assembly, and the parts of the positive and negative electrode sheets without active materials each constitute a tab.

Specifically, the first driving mechanism 22 is mounted on the first mounting plate 23, and the first mounting plate 23 is provided with two parallel guide rails, and the length direction of the two guide rails is the same as the first direction X. The second mounting plate 24 is connected to the guide rails by sliding blocks, and the second mounting plate 24 is connected to the driving end of the first driving mechanism 22 by driving. The second mounting plate 24 is installed with the second driving mechanism 32 and the first connecting member 212, so that the first clamping device 20 and the second clamping device 30 can move toward the support member 10 at the same time under the drive of the first driving mechanism 22. The number of the first support portions 11 is two, and the two first support portions 11 are located on opposite sides of the second support portion 12, so as to be able to fix the battery with a dual-electrode assembly.The end of the first clamping assembly 21 facing the support member 10 is the first end, and the end of the second clamping assembly 31 facing the support member 10 is the second end. When the first clamping assembly 21 and the second clamping assembly 30 are in a loosened state, the distance between the first end and the top of the support member 10 is smaller than the distance between the second end and the top of the support member 10. The top of the support member 10 is the end of the support member 10 facing the first clamping assembly 21.
[0101] The first driving mechanism 22 drives the first clamping assembly 21 and the second clamping device 30 to move toward the support member 10 at the same time. The distance between the first end and the top of the support member 10 is greater than the distance between the second end and the top of the support member 10, so that the first clamping member 211 can first clamp the electrode assembly 100, and then the second clamping member 31 can clamp and fix the pole ear 102 through the action of the second driving mechanism 32, so as to reduce the probability of short circuit caused by excessive redundancy when welding the pole ear 102; at the same time, the first driving mechanism 22 drives the first clamping assembly 21 and the second clamping device 30 to move toward the support member 10 at the same time, which can also make the structure more compact.
