[0020] This utility model relates to an integrated hot-drilling and flattening mechanism for cylindrical battery cells.

A drive device 9 is poweredly connected to the left side of the hot-drilling needle 8.

[0022] The battery cell 6 includes a positive electrode tab 61 and a negative electrode tab 62. The positive electrode tab 61 is located on one side of the positive electrode tab flattening and feeding device 1, and the negative electrode tab 62 is located on one side of the negative electrode tab flattening and feeding device 2.
