[0044] Two code layer devices 400 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the shaping device 200, one code layer device 400 is used to carry the tray for feeding, and the other code layer device 400 is used to carry the tray for discharging. Since the material moving device 300 has two first taking and placing frames 310 and two first taking and placing driving assemblies 320, and the two first taking and placing frames 310 are arranged in a left-right interval, at this time, one first taking and placing frame 310 and the corresponding first taking and placing driving assembly 320 can be responsible for grabbing and moving the battery on the code layer device 400 for feeding into the shaping device 200, and the other first taking and placing frame 310 and the first taking and placing driving assembly 320 can be responsible for moving the battery shaped in the shaping device 200 to the other code layer device 400 for discharging, thereby improving the continuity of production and further improving the production efficiency.

The structure of the tray supporting assembly 430 is relatively simple and easy to implement.

[0055] Specifically, the first support driving structure 432 is two groups of air cylinders, which respectively drive the corresponding first support frames 431 to move left and right.
