The invention relates to a small ring-grooved
rivet with wide range and a riveting method; the small ring-grooved
rivet is composed of a
rivet head, a rivet pole and a
lantern ring, the rivet pole is composed of a polished rod section at the front end, a front ring-grooved section matched with the
lantern ring in an extruding way and a rear ring-grooved section riveted with a riveting device at the rear end; the
diameter of the fin thread of the front ring-grooved section is less than that of the rear ring-grooved section, and the length of the front ring-grooved section is matched with the maximum holding thickness; the advantages of
high intensity, good locking performance and high
corrosion resistance of the ring-grooved rivet are kept, and the holding range is increased to five times of common small ring-grooved rivet with the same
diameter; in addition, the rivet is snapped at the end of the
lantern ring, therefore, the rivet is artistic and tidy after being installed. The ring-grooved rivet solves the problems that the existing rivet has complex kinds caused by small holding range about 3mm, the installation field needs a plurality of kinds of the rivets to be used alternatively, and the trouble caused by storage of a plurality of kinds of the rivets or hundreds of kinds of the rivets occurs, the installation is wrong and the re-installation is needed. The invention provides various rivet heads with the
diameter of 5, 6, 8 and 10mm and optimized size range and test results of the lantern
ring type rivets, and is particularly suitable for the occasions which need rivets with small specification such as
steel structures of railroad wagons, automobiles and bridge girders and the like.
