In the process of edge shearing, the situation that the battery shell possibly warps up due to shearing force is avoided, and in the scheme, the vertical height of the battery shell can be limited by adopting the trimming vertical pressing device 6, so that the situation that shearing unevenness occurs due to the fact that the battery shell is stressed to move upwards is reduced; in addition, in the actual shearing process, the battery shell moves along with the first moving blade 41 or the second moving blade 51, and correspondingly, the pressing piece 612 pressed against the battery shell also moves along with the movement of the first moving blade or the second moving blade, so that the position deviation of the battery shell caused by horizontal friction force can be reduced, and the good forming quality of the final battery shell can be maintained.
In addition, when the first shearing is performed, the height of the battery shell is limited by the first lifting piece 431 by taking the inner wall of the bottom of the battery shell as a reference, so that the shearing height of the battery shell when the battery shell is sheared for the first time is determined; the battery shell is sheared for the first time to obtain a flat first end edge, and the height of the battery shell can be limited by utilizing the cooperation of the second end edge and the reference surface on the second fixed cutter 52 during the second shearing so as to determine the shearing height of the battery shell during the second shearing, and the determination of the shearing height during the second shearing is determined based on the first shearing result so as to be convenient for keeping the consistency of the two shearing positions of the battery shell.
