[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are classified into three types based on their form: hard-case batteries, pouch batteries, and cylindrical batteries. Among them, cylindrical batteries have advantages such as high volumetric energy density, simple structure, ease of assembly, and standardization. The structure of a cylindrical battery includes a casing and cylindrical cells. The casing includes a top cover, a bottom cover, and cylindrical sidewalls. The cylindrical cells are installed inside the casing, with the positive electrode near the bottom cover and the negative electrode near the top cover.

[0003] In the production process of cylindrical batteries, a short pre-pressing process is often performed to initially form the battery terminals. For example, Chinese patent document CN115172999A discloses a cylindrical battery positive terminal crimping carrier, including a carrier, a first magnet, a second magnet, and a third magnet. The second magnet is semi-enclosed in shape and has a groove. The third magnet is fixedly set at the bottom of the groove. One end of the carrier is an insertion end, and the first magnet is fixedly set at the insertion end. The first and second magnets are correspondingly set, and the shape and size of the insertion end match the shape and size of the groove. The carrier is inserted into the groove through the insertion end and connected to the second magnet by magnetic attraction. External rivets and sealing rings are set in the groove and crimp the positive terminal of the cylindrical battery under the crimping of the carrier. However, this design has the following defects: the battery terminals are prone to inaccurate alignment with the casing, which can cause deformation and warping during the pre-pressing process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the problem of severe deformation and warping of the lower plastic during the riveting process of cylindrical batteries in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a rivetless riveting device for a cylindrical battery casing, comprising: a lower mold having a cavity for accommodating the battery casing and for fixing the battery casing from the bottom and the outside; and an upper mold including punches for extending into the battery casing to press the inner end of the battery terminal to rivet the battery terminal to the battery casing. The punches include multiple punches, each punch having a chamfer at its working end periphery for pressing the inner end of the battery terminal to unfold it outward by an angle, where the angle refers to the angle by which the unfolded position of the inner end of the battery terminal deviates from its original position. The multiple punches cause the angle of the inner end of the battery terminal to unfold outward to increase sequentially, and at least one punch causes the angle of the inner end of the battery terminal to unfold outward to be greater than 90 degrees.

[0006] In one embodiment of the present invention, the punch includes: a first punch with a first chamfer at the periphery of its working end, used to press the inner end of the battery terminal to unfold the inner end of the battery terminal outward by a first angle; a second punch with a second chamfer at the periphery of its working end, used to press the inner end of the battery terminal to unfold the inner end of the battery terminal outward by a second angle; and a third punch with a third chamfer at the periphery of its working end, used to press the inner end of the battery terminal to unfold the inner end of the battery terminal outward by a third angle; wherein the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle all refer to the angle by which the unfolded position of the inner end of the battery terminal deviates from its original position, the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle increase sequentially, and the third angle is greater than 90 degrees.

[0018] The inner end of the battery terminal is pressed by the second punch to make the inner end of the battery terminal unfold outward at a second angle.

[0019] The inner end of the battery terminal is squeezed by the third punch, causing the inner end of the battery terminal to unfold outward at a third angle.

[0020] Wherein, the first angle, the second angle, and the third angle all refer to the angles at which the inner end of the battery terminal deviates from its original position after being unfolded. The first angle, the second angle, and the third angle increase sequentially, and the third angle is greater than 90 degrees.

By sequentially operating the three sets of molds—pre-riveting mold, riveting mold, and shaping mold—the shape of the pole post 35 is changed, thereby riveting the second lower plastic part 33, sealing ring 34, pole post 35, and upper plastic part 36 together.

[0057] Reference Figure 7 , 8 As shown, Figure 7 The middle part is a pre-riveting mold. A conical surface is provided at the lower end of the pre-riveting mold column. When the punch assembly 4 and the die assembly 2 are closed, the conical surface at the lower end of the pre-riveting mold is gradually pressed into the circular groove of the circular column structure, thereby pre-pressing the upper end of the circular groove into a flared conical groove. At the same time, an outwardly flared conical surface is formed around the top of the circular column structure.

[0058] Reference Figure 9 , 10 As shown, Figure 9 The middle part is the riveting mold. The lower end of the riveting mold is provided with a conical riveting pressing surface. The inclination angle of the conical surface of the riveting mold is greater than the angle of the conical surface at the lower end of the pre-riveting mold. When the punch assembly 4 and the die assembly 2 are closed, the riveting mold continues to press down on the conical surface formed by the pre-riveting mold above the circular cylindrical structure, so that the outward expansion angle of the conical surface formed above the circular cylindrical structure increases. The conical surface above the circular cylinder is close to parallel to the circular base, while retaining the lower part of the circular groove on the circular cylinder.

[0059] Reference Figure 11 , 12 As shown, Figure 11The forming mold has a concave conical surface at the bottom of its main body compared to the conical surface around the outer circumference of the pre-riveting mold and the riveting mold. At the same time, a small cylindrical structure is retained in the middle of the concave conical surface. When the punch assembly 4 and the die assembly 2 are closed, the small cylindrical structure extends into the lower end of the circular groove to shape the inner wall of the circular groove. Meanwhile, the concave conical surface continues to press down on the outwardly expanding conical surface of the riveting mold after riveting, causing the outwardly expanding conical surface to fold over to the side of the circular base.
