Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sheet metal riveting processing, and in particular to an automatic riveting device and a riveting method for sheet metal processing. Background Art

[0002] The automatic punching machine uses a punching machine and a special connecting die through an instantaneous high-pressure processing process. According to the cold extrusion deformation of the plate material itself, a stress-free internal inlaid dot with a certain tensile and shear strength is formed, which can connect two or more layers of plates of different materials and thicknesses.

[0003] The automatic punching machine mainly includes a punching machine, a controller, an automatic feeder riveting die and a foot switch. When in use, the staff inserts the riveting hole of the workpiece on the riveting die, the automatic feeder sends the riveting nut to the top of the riveting die, the punching machine presses the riveting nut down, and embeds the riveting nut into the riveting hole of the workpiece to achieve the riveting process of the workpiece;

[0004] Since the rivet holes on the workpiece are small, before each riveting operation, the staff must carefully observe the rivet die and the rivet holes of the workpiece to align the rivet holes with the rivet die. The staff must also hold the workpiece with their arms suspended in the air. Working in this way for a long time will not only cause visual fatigue, but also easily lead to arm soreness. It is difficult to keep the workpiece in a horizontal state during riveting, and the quality of riveting cannot be guaranteed. Poor quality of the rivet nut or improper operation will cause the workpiece to fail to meet the riveting standards. However, the existing stamping machine does not have the function of ejecting the rivet nut. Re-riveting is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and directly scrapping it is a waste of cost. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an automatic riveting device with a positioning function. Summary of the invention

[0014] The riveting method of the above device comprises the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: Position and debug the workpiece. Lift the handle, use the support rod as the rotation center, and push the handle to lift the U-shaped frame. The suction cup will be separated from the support platform, and the baffle will be released. Place the workpiece on the support platform first, and insert the workpiece riveting hole on the riveting die.

Step 5: The ejector pin (85) is pushed upward by the ejector hydraulic cylinder (84), and the ejector pin (85) ejects the rivet nut from the workpiece, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the rivet nut so that the workpiece can be reprocessed.
