本申请中出现的“多个”指的是两个以上(包括两个)，同理，“多组”指的是两组以上(包括两组)，“多片”指的是两片以上(包括两片)。
在本申请中，所提及的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。例如，本申请中所提及的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液，电极组件由正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜组成。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。正极极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层，正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面，未涂敷正极活性物质层的集流体作为正极极耳。以锂离子电池为例，正极集流体的材料可以为铝，正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层，负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面，未涂敷负极活性物质层的集流体作为负极极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜，负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断，正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起，负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔离膜的材质可以为PP(polypropylene，聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene，聚乙烯)等。
电池单体还包括壳体和盖体，壳体具有开口，盖体封闭开口，以形成密闭空间，电极组件容纳于壳体内。
电池技术的发展要同时考虑多方面的设计因素，例如，能量密度、放电容量、充放电倍率等性能参数，另外，还需要考虑电池的良品率和生产效率。
电池单体制造过程中，需要将电极组件放置于壳体内，以完成电极组件的入壳动作。
对于装配式的产品而言，产品制造过程中，往往存在将物料装入容器内的工艺流程，此工艺流程对于产品的良品率影响较大，原因在于：在产品装配过程中，通常采用送料装置将物料装入容器内，送料装置在输送物料时容易损坏物料，使得产品的良品率较低，从而生产效率较低。
例如，以电池的制造过程为例介绍，电池制造过程中，装配工艺包括：将电极组件装入壳体内；以及将电池单体装入箱体内。对于方形电池单体来说，通常采用将电极组件推送至壳体内的方式实现电极组件入壳，为了保证电池的群裕度，电极 组件需要挤压后才能进入壳体内。发明人发现通常采用运输轮对电极组件进行挤压和传输，然而，由于运输轮与电极组件为线接触，运输轮与电极组件的接触面积较小，运输轮作用于电极组件的作用力集中，容易损坏电极组件，导致电池单体的良品率较低，生产效率较低。
鉴于此，为了解决物料装入容器动作导致产品的良品率和生产效率较低的问题，发明人经过深入研究，设计了一种技术方案，将挤压件的与物料接触的挤压面设计为挤压平面，挤压平面与物料之间具有较大的接触面积，挤压件施加于物料的作用力分散，能够降低挤压件损伤物料的风险，从而提高产品的良品率和生产效率。
在电池单体装配过程中，当物料为电极组件，容器为壳体时，电极组件可以为高群裕度、较为蓬松的结构，该送料装置对于电极组件具有较好的挤压效果，且不容易损伤电极组件，便于实现电极组件装入壳体的动作。本申请的送料装置，除了应用于电池装配过程外，还可以应用于其他物料装入容器的场景，以提高产品的良品率和生产效率。

图中，Z方向所指示的方向为入料方向。
挤压单元100用于与另一挤压单元在垂直于挤压平面101的方向设置，以使挤压单元100与另一挤压单元之间形成夹持空间，夹持空间用于夹持物料，挤压单元100对物料进行挤压，以使得物料在垂直于挤压平面101的方向上的尺寸减小，便于物料进入容器内。需要指出的是，另一挤压单元可以与挤压单元100的结构一致，也可以不一致，例如，另一挤压单元可以为运输轮，以对挤压单元100提供挤压支撑。

闭合轨迹G为首尾闭合的轨迹，挤压件10能够沿闭合轨迹G循环运动。第一平面轨迹段G1为闭合轨迹G的一组成部分，第一平面轨迹段G1的延伸方向与入料方向Z平行。挤压件10沿第一平面轨迹段G1运动时，挤压件10沿第一平面轨迹段G1的运动方向可以是入料方向Z，或者，也可以是与入料方向Z相反的方向，又或者，还可以是第一平面轨迹段G1所在平面内的任意方向。需要指出的是，图中的闭合轨迹G为矩形轨迹，仅为示意闭合形式，还可以是三角形、五角形、圆弧加平面段等其他形状，只要保证闭合轨迹G包括一段平面段(即第一平面轨迹段G1)，其他部分连接该段平面段形成一个闭合轨迹即可。
当挤压件10沿第一平面轨迹段G1运动时，挤压平面101与物料形成面接触，并且挤压平面101保持沿入料方向Z延伸，挤压平面101与物料保持接触，以便于物料装入壳体内。
根据本申请实施例的送料装置1000，挤压平面101与物料的接触为面接触，使得挤压件10与物料之间具有较大的接触面积，挤压件10施加于物料的作用力分散，能够降低挤压件10损伤物料的风险，从而提高产品的良品率和生产效率。
