[0042] The component loading assembly 200 to be riveted is connected to the riveting assembly 300 and is used to transfer the component to be riveted to the riveting assembly 300;

[0043] The terminal portion loading assembly 100 is connected to the riveting assembly 300 and is used to transfer the terminal portion to the riveting assembly 300;

[0044] The riveting assembly 300 includes a movable matching unit 310 and a riveting material transfer unit 320. The movable matching unit 310 is provided between the to-be-riveted component loading assembly 200 and the terminal portion loading assembly 100. The riveting material transfer unit 320 is provided above the movable matching unit 310.

[0045] The working process of the riveting assembly 300 is described below:

[0046] The riveting and material moving unit 320 moves toward the movable matching unit 310 to rivet the terminal part and the component to be riveted together; then, the movable matching unit 310 ejects the riveted workpiece, and the riveting and material moving unit 320 drives the workpiece to move along the first direction and unload the workpiece.

[0047] The active engagement unit 310 and the riveting and material transfer unit 320 work together to achieve riveting of the component to be riveted and the terminal portion, achieving high riveting quality and ensuring the strength of each riveting. After the riveting operation is completed, the active engagement unit 310 ejects the riveted workpiece, and the riveting and material transfer unit 320 drives the workpiece to move in the first direction for unloading, thus achieving rapid unloading of the workpiece.

[0048] In some examples, the movable cooperation unit 310 includes a first seat body 311, a lower movable part 312 and an upper movable part 313. The first seat body 311 is arranged between the loading assembly 200 of the component to be riveted and the terminal part loading assembly 100. The lower movable part 312 and the upper movable part 313 can be slidably arranged in the first seat body 311, and the lower movable part 312 and the upper movable part 313 can slide relative to each other. A rivet groove 3131 is provided on the upper movable part 313 corresponding to the loading assembly 200 of the component to be riveted, and the rivet groove 3131 extends along the second direction.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first seat body 311 is docked with the component loading assembly 200 and the terminal portion loading assembly 100 to facilitate loading the component loading assembly 200 and the terminal portion loading assembly 100 onto the upper movable part 313 .

[0050] The lower movable member 312 is connected to the upper ejection control mechanism. This mechanism comprises an upper ejection cylinder 331, a connecting rod 332, and an upper ejection member 333. The cylinder shaft of the upper ejection cylinder 331 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 332, the other end of which is connected to the upper ejection member 333. The upper ejection member 333 is connected to the lower movable member 312. Under the control of the upper ejection control mechanism, the lower movable member 312 can slide up and down within the first base 311 and move relative to the upper movable member 313, thereby ejecting the workpiece after the riveting process is completed.

[0051] The upper movable member 313 cooperates with the riveting block to be introduced below to achieve riveting between the component to be riveted and the terminal portion.

[0052] The working principle of the active coordination unit 310 is described below:

[0053] During the riveting process, when the component to be riveted and the terminal part are located on the upper movable part 313, the riveting block moves toward the upper movable part 313, the riveting block rests on the upper movable part 313, and presses the terminal part on the component to be riveted; the riveting block continues to press down, driving the upper movable part 313 to move downward together, and the riveting end of the terminal part cooperates with the riveting matching column to be mentioned below to rivet the component to be riveted. During this process; the lower movable part 312 remains stationary under the action of the upper cylinder 331.

[0054] During the process of the riveted workpiece being released from the movable fitting unit 310, the riveting block moves back toward the upper movable member 313. Under the action of the first elastic member to be mentioned below, the upper movable member 313 moves upward and returns to its initial state. During this process, the riveting block is always in contact with the upper movable member 313. Under the action of the upper ejection cylinder 331, the lower movable member 312 moves upward, and the riveted workpiece is ejected from the upper movable member 313 through the riveting fitting column, and the upper movable member 313 is brought into contact with the riveting block. Under the action of the first driving source to be mentioned below, the riveting block realizes linear movement in the first direction, thereby unloading the workpiece.

[0055] In some examples, the opposite ends of the upper movable member 313 are respectively provided with first mounting grooves 3132, and the opposite ends of the lower movable member 312 are respectively provided with first sliding grooves 3121; the movable cooperation unit 310 also includes a first connecting member 340, one end of the first connecting member 340 is provided in the first mounting groove 3132, and the other end of the first connecting member 340 can be slidably provided in the first sliding groove 3121.

[0056] like Figure 3As shown, a first transverse block 341 and a second transverse block 342 are respectively provided at the opposite ends of the first connecting member 340. The first transverse block 341 is provided in the first mounting groove 3132 for fixing the first connecting member 340 and the upper movable member 313. The second transverse block 342 is provided in the first sliding groove 3121 for sliding connection between the first connecting member 340 and the lower movable member 312.

[0057] First guide grooves 3122 are also provided at the opposite ends of the lower movable member 312. The first guide grooves 3122 extend along the third direction and are used to limit the moving direction of the first connecting member 340. The middle part of the first connecting member 340 is placed in the first guide groove 3122, so that the first connecting member 340 can move linearly up and down.

[0058] In some examples, first through slots 3133 are spaced apart from each other on the rivet slots 3131 , and the first through slots 3133 extend along a third direction. Rivet fitting columns 3123 are provided on the lower movable member 312 corresponding to the first through slots 3133 .

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the rivet groove 3131 is used to place the component to be riveted and the terminal part, and the rivet end of the terminal part passes through the component to be riveted and is placed in the first through groove 3133. For example, when riveting, the rivet end of the terminal part cooperates with the rivet fitting column 3123 to complete the riveting.

[0060] For another example, after the riveting is completed, the lower movable part 312 moves toward the upper movable part 313 under the action of the upper cylinder 331, and the riveting fitting column 3123 slides in the first through groove 3133, thereby pushing out the riveting end of the terminal part, so that the workpiece and the riveting block fit together.

[0061] In some examples, a first elastic member is connected between the lower movable member 312 and the upper movable member 313. The first elastic member is used to buffer the gap between the upper movable member 313 and the lower movable member 312 and to rebound and reset the upper movable member 313. The first elastic member is a spring.

[0062] In some examples, the riveting and material moving unit 320 includes a first driving source 321, a first movable plate 322, a second driving source 323, and a riveting block 324. The first driving source 321 is disposed above the movable cooperation unit 310, and the first driving source 321 is connected to the first movable plate 322 to drive the first movable plate 322 to slide back and forth in a first direction. The second driving source 323 is disposed on the first movable plate 322, and the second driving source 323 is connected to the riveting block 324 to drive the riveting block 324 to slide back and forth in a third direction.

[0063] During the riveting process, the riveting block 324 cooperates with the movable matching unit 310 to perform riveting;

[0064] When the riveting is completed, the riveting block 324 , driven by the first driving source 321 , drives the riveted workpiece to move along the first direction to the blanking assembly.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the first driving source 321 and the second driving source 323 cooperate with each other to achieve linear movement of the riveting block 324 on the plane.

[0066] The first driving source 321 is a cylinder, but it can also be other driving mechanisms.

[0067] The second driving source 323 is a cylinder, but it can also be other driving mechanisms.

[0068] In some examples, the terminal portion loading assembly 100 includes a first material channel 110 and a terminal portion connecting strip cutting unit 120 , wherein the first material channel 110 is connected to the movable matching unit 310 , and the terminal portion connecting strip cutting unit 120 is disposed on the first material channel 110 ;

[0069] The terminal connecting strip cutting unit 120 includes a cutting seat 121, a sliding material channel 122 and a pressing piece 123.

The sliding material channel 122 is slidably connected to the cutting seat 121. The pressing piece 123 is movably arranged above the sliding material channel 122.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 The terminal part is loaded through the first material channel 110, and then the connecting belt on the terminal part is cut through the terminal connecting belt cutting unit 120. After cutting, it passes through the first material channel 110 and enters the movable matching unit 310.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the terminal connection belt cutting unit 120 further includes a pressing cylinder, which is extended along the third direction, and a cylinder shaft of the pressing cylinder is connected to the pressing member 123.

[0072] A second elastic member is connected between the cutting seat 121 and the sliding channel 122, and is used to return the sliding channel 122 to its initial position. The second elastic member is a spring.

[0073] For example, during the cutting process of the connecting strip, the pressing cylinder drives the pressing member 123 downward, which abuts against the sliding channel 122 and simultaneously drives the sliding channel 122 downward. The connecting strip is cut after contacting the cutting block 1211. During the reset process, the pressing cylinder drives the pressing member 123 upward, and the sliding channel 122 moves upward under the action of the second elastic member and returns to its initial position.

[0074] In some examples, the two opposite ends of the sliding channel 122 are each provided with a second mounting groove 1222 , and the two opposite ends of the cutting seat 121 are each provided with a second sliding groove 1212 ;

[0075] The terminal portion connecting strip cutting unit 120 further includes a second connecting member 123 , one end of the second connecting member 123 is disposed in the second mounting groove 1222 , and the other end of the second connecting member 123 is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove 1212 .

[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, a third transverse block 1231 and a fourth transverse block 1232 are respectively provided at the opposite ends of the second connecting member 123. The third transverse block 1231 is provided in the second mounting groove 1222 for fixing the second connecting member 123 and the sliding channel 122. The fourth transverse block 1232 is provided in the second sliding groove 1212 for sliding connection between the second connecting member 123 and the cutting seat 121.

[0077] Second guide grooves are also provided at opposite ends of the cutting seat 121. The second guide grooves extend along the third direction and are used to limit the moving direction of the second connecting member 123. The middle part of the second connecting member 123 is placed in the second guide groove so that the second connecting member 123 can move linearly up and down.

[0078] In some examples, the loading assembly 200 for the component to be riveted includes a second material channel 210 and a pushing unit 220 . The second material channel 210 is provided on one side of the movable matching unit 310 , and the pushing unit 220 is provided corresponding to the movable matching unit 310 .

[0079] like Figure 2 As shown, the pushing unit 220 includes a pushing cylinder 221 and a pushing block 222. The pushing cylinder 221 is arranged on one side of the second material channel 210. The pushing cylinder 221 extends along the second direction. The pushing cylinder 221 is connected to the pushing block 222, driving the pushing block 222 to move along the second direction, thereby pushing the component to be riveted into the movable fitting unit 310.

[0080] In addition, the pusher block 222 has a pusher slot 2221, which is connected to the second material channel 210. The pusher block 222 is also provided with a second through slot that communicates with the pusher slot 2221. A sensor is provided directly above the second through slot of the pusher block 222 to detect whether there is a component to be riveted in the pusher slot 2221.

[0081] A second aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a riveting method implemented by the automotive sensor terminal riveting device provided by the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application, comprising:

[0082] The component loading assembly 200 transfers the component to be riveted to the riveting assembly 300;

[0083] The terminal loading assembly 100 transfers the terminal to the riveting assembly 300. At this point, the terminal is positioned above the component to be riveted, with the riveting column of the terminal aligned with the riveting through-hole of the component to be riveted, and the riveting through-hole of the component to be riveted aligned with the first through-slot 3133 of the upper movable member 313.

[0084] The riveting and material moving unit 320 moves toward the movable matching unit 310, so that the riveting column of the terminal part passes through the riveting through-hole of the component to be riveted, so that the terminal part is riveted to the component to be riveted;

[0085] The movable matching unit 310 ejects the riveted workpiece, and the riveting and material moving unit 320 drives the workpiece to move along the first direction and unload the workpiece.
