[0028] A conveying slide 33 is fixed on the frame 1 along the horizontal direction. The conveying square tube 30 on one side is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the conveying square tube 30 on the other side slides on the conveying slide 33. According to the width of the battery shell, the distance between the conveying square tubes 30 on both sides can be adjusted, thereby changing the position of the conveying roller 31 serving as the conveying structure.

[0029] Gantry group racks 34 are fixed on both sides of the frame 1 along the front and rear directions, and front and rear motors 35 are provided on the front and rear motors 35. The driving ends of the front and rear motors 35 are connected with front and rear gears, which are engaged with the gantry group racks 34 for transmission. Left and right motors 36 and left and right slide rails 37 are installed on the front and rear gantry groups 2 and 3, and the driving ends of the left and right motors 36 are connected with left and right screws 38. The riveting mechanism 4 is threadedly connected to the left and right screws 38 through the nut seat and makes the riveting mechanism 4 slide on the left and right slide rails 37 of the front gantry group 2.

[0035] The rivet light source 29 illuminates the battery shell, the rivet lens 28 grasps the position of the rivet, and the rivet moving motor 19 controls the up and down movement of the rivet screw 21. After the rivet is docked, the rivet rotating motor 20 controls the rivet screw 21 to rotate and rotate and fix it together with the inner thread of the rivet. Then the rivet moving motor 19 controls the rivet screw 21 to lift it vertically upward, and the rivet is pulled, expanded and fixed to the inside of the battery shell. Then the rivet rotating motor 20 controls the rivet screw 21 to rotate out the rivet. At this time, the rivet can be fixed to the battery shell to complete the riveting operation.
