The front and rear ends of the rivet gun 14 are fixedly connected to the rivet gun bracket 21 through the triangular bracket 20. The rear side of the middle part of the rivet gun bracket 21 is fixedly connected with the brake box 13.

[0030] The power control device includes a control switch and an external power plug, the external power plug is electrically connected to the control switch, the control switch is electrically connected to the servo motor 5, the four drive motors 23, the drilling motor 201, and the countersinking motor 202 respectively, the mechanical operation is controlled by the switch, the automation degree of the equipment is improved, the work efficiency is increased, and the economic benefits are improved, the control program is written in the PLC controller of the power control device according to the needs, and the control panel of the power control device is operated to control the equipment when in use, and the whole working process is automatically controlled by the power control device;

[0032] When in use, the user places the skin 26 on the skin shaft 3, inserts one end of the skin 26 into the roller along the upper surface of the right skin bracket 27, starts the servo motor 5, and makes the skin move to the left under the action of the roller. When it moves to the bottom of the drilling motor 201, the drive frame 2 moves downward to punch a through hole in the skin 26. Under the action of the right skin bracket 27, the skin 26 continues to move to the left, and the drive frame 2 moves upward at the same time. When the first through hole is about to reach the bottom of the countersinking motor 202, the drive frame 2 moves downward to countersink the first through hole. When the countersunk through hole reaches the bottom of the slide rail 10, the rivet falls into the through hole. As the skin moves, the first through hole reaches the bottom of the rivet gun 14, and the rivet gun 14 is inflated. At this time, the pressure inside the rivet gun 14 increases, causing the rivet clamp 143 to move downward, thereby knocking and extruding the rivet, and under the action of the top iron 25, a pier head is formed.
[0033] In summary, the skin drilling and riveting processing device ensures that the countersink depth of each through hole is equal by setting the height between the drilling motor 201 and the countersink motor 202 and the upper surface of the skin, thereby ensuring the degree of protrusion and depression of the rivet on the skin, and by setting the distance between the upper surface of the left skin bracket 24, the top iron 25 and the right skin bracket 27 to the surface of the base 1 and the distance between the skin 26 and the opposite surfaces of the base 1, the height and diameter of the head of each rivet are made equal during the riveting process, thereby ensuring the consistency of the flatness of the rivet on the skin during the entire riveting process.
