DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments. The specific embodiments are a further explanation of the principle of the present invention and do not limit the present invention in any way. The same or similar technologies to the present invention do not exceed the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] As Figure 1 , 2 , shown in Figure 3, the riveting fastener demolition equipment of the present invention includes a demolition device for demolishing the collar of a ring groove rivet and a hydraulic system for providing power to the demolition device.

[0025] The demolition device of this embodiment includes a claw 1 and a cutting knife 3; there are two symmetric inclined planes inside the front end of the first sleeve 2, and a long hole structure chute is opened on each of the two symmetric inclined planes. The two claws 1 can move on the inclined plane. Each of the two claws 1 is provided with a threaded hole corresponding to the chute on the inclined plane; the locking ring 23 can slide back and forth on the first sleeve 2, and two through holes are opened at the positions of the threaded holes matching the claws 1. The screw 22 passes through the through holes of the locking ring 23 and the chute of the first sleeve 2 and is screwed into the threaded hole of the claw 1. The locking ring 23 can drive the claw 1 to move back and forth in the chute of the first sleeve 2 through the screw 22. During use, the claw 1 is moved back and forth by manually moving the locking ring 23.

[0026] A pin hole is opened at the rear end of the first sleeve 2 corresponding to the pin hole at the front end of the fixed sleeve 7. The cylindrical positioning pin 6 is inserted into these two pin holes so that the first sleeve 2 and the fixed sleeve 7 do not rotate relative to each other. The clamp 4, the snap ring 5 and the shaft retaining ring 19 fix the first sleeve 2 and the fixed sleeve 7.

[0027] The right side of the fixed sleeve 7 is machined with an external thread to cooperate with the internal thread at the front end of the second sleeve 8. A pin hole is opened at the threaded part of the fixed sleeve 7 to prevent the cutting knife 3 from rotating circumferentially relative to the first sleeve 2.

[0028] Two cutting heads 31 are provided at the front end of the cutting knife 3, and their spacing is determined by the diameter specification of the blind rivet. A chute 32 is axially opened on the surface of the middle rod of the cutting knife 3. The cutting knife 3 can move back and forth in the fixed sleeve 7 along the chute 32, and this chute 32 has a guiding function.

[0029] The rear end of the cutting knife 3 is a connecting thread 33. The connecting thread 33 is matched with the first locking nut 9 and the second locking nut 11 to realize the driving connection of the connecting sleeve 10. The stroke of the cutting knife 3 can be adjusted by rotating the first locking nut 9 and the second locking nut 11. A hexagonal groove is opened on the right side of the second locking nut 11 for convenient installation. The connecting sleeve 10 is clamped by the first locking nut 9 and the second locking nut 11. The front end of the connecting sleeve 10 is machined with a conical surface corresponding to the conical surface at the front end of the second locking nut 11, and the rear end is machined with an internal thread to be drivingly connected with the piston rod 16.

[0030] As Figure 4 shown, Figure 4This is the principle diagram of the demolition equipment of the present invention. The demolition equipment includes three parts: power system I, control system II, and demolition device III. Among them, power system I can usually use a hydraulic pump station system to provide power for demolition, and demolition device III can be any demolition device that uses hydraulic power for disassembly operations; control system II mainly controls the demolition device III to disassemble a rivet. In this example, power system I is a hydraulic pump station system that mainly provides power, and demolition device III is the execution part. The hydraulic oil outlet of the hydraulic oil pump of power source I is connected in parallel with electromagnetic reversing valves 03, 04 and overflow valve 02 through pipelines, and electromagnetic reversing valves 03, 04 are connected to the oil cylinder of demolition device III. Among them, reversing valves 03 and 04 are two-position three-way electromagnetic reversing valves.

[0031] In order to ensure the system pressure and ensure the safe use of the demolition system, the demolition pressure of the demolition equipment is controlled by the relief valve 02. The working process of the entire hydraulic system is: press the pressure switch, the YV1 of the reversing valve 03 and the YV2 of the reversing valve 04 are energized, the left side of the oil cylinder of the demolition device III is filled with oil, and the piston rod 16 starts to move forward to drive the gun head to remove the ring groove rivet; release the pressure switch, the YV1 of the reversing valve 03 and the YV2 of the reversing valve 04 are de-energized, the right side of the oil cylinder of the demolition device III is filled with oil, and the piston rod 16 starts to move to the left to complete the removal of a ring groove rivet.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure that the claw 1 can grasp the ring 20, a wedge structure is adopted between the claw 1 and the first sleeve 2, so that during the disassembly process, the claw 1 can tightly grasp the ring 20 without relative slippage. A circular boss is processed at the front end of the first sleeve 2 to play a positioning role.

[0033] The working process of the demolition device III is as follows: first, the locking ring 23 is moved forward, thereby driving the claw 1 to move forward through the screw 22. The two semi-circular arc blocks of the claw 1 are prompted to shrink toward the axial center when moving forward by the trapezoidal cone of the sleeve, and the teeth on the inner wall of the claw 1 hold the ring 20; start the pressure switch, and the piston rod 16 drives the cutting knife 3 to move forward through the connecting sleeve 10 and the first locking nut 9 to start cutting the ring 20. At the same time, due to the action of the reaction force, the sleeve is slightly moved toward the rear end by the force moving toward the rear end, and the trapezoidal cone structure of the sleeve squeezes the two semi-circular arc blocks of the claw 1 to further tighten the ring 20; after cutting, the piston rod 16 drives the demolition knife 3 to retreat through the connecting sleeve 10 and the second locking nut 11 to complete the disassembly of a ring groove rivet.

[0034] Combined with Figures 6 to 9 , the entire disassembly process of the ring groove rivet is as follows:

[0035] ①, such as Figure 1As shown, install the gun head on the riveting gun;

[0036] ②. As Figure 4 shown, connect the oil pipe to the pump station and the riveting gun;

[0037] ③. Plug in the power supply of the pump station to prepare for the disassembly of the ring groove rivet;

[0038] ④. As Figure 6 、 Figure 7 shown, place the sleeve 20 to be disassembled into the gun head, and move the locking ring 23 so that the claw 1 holds the sleeve 20;

[0039] ⑤. As Figure 6 、 Figure 7 shown, press the pressure switch of the demolition device Ⅲ, and the demolition device Ⅲ drives the cutting knife 3 to cut the sleeve 20;

[0040] ⑥. As Figure 7 、 Figure 8 shown, after the cutting knife 3 cuts the sleeve 20, it starts to retract, and the claw 1 releases, completing the cutting.
