The invention discloses an edge extrusion riveting process of a solar energy heat radiation base plate and a riveting mold for the process. The process comprises: performing clearance fit between a trough and a heat radiating fin of the heat radiation base; and extruding two side walls of the trough of the heat radiation base towards the heat radiating fin, and forming an assembling piece through edge extrusion; the pivoting mold comprises an upper template, a lower mold base and a lower template; a plurality of stripping floating blocks are arranged in the lower template; a plurality of lower mold punches, a punch fixing sleeve plate and a material choking sleeve plate are arranged on the lower template, wherein the material choking sleeve plate is arranged in the punch fixing sleeve plate; and heat radiation base plates to be combined are arranged between the punch fixing sleeve plate and the lower template. According to the edge extrusion riveting process provided by the invention, welding is replaced by punching, the machining cost is saved, the manufacturing cost is reduced greatly, and the production efficiency is improved; the edge extrusion riveting process has the advantages of short mold-opening period, low cost, high production efficiency, stable quality, beautiful structure, strong holding capability of the heat radiation fin, uniform contact plane and good thermal conduction; the product manufacturing competitiveness is improved, and the edge extrusion riveting process has a wide popularization application value.
