The cage, the head plate end plate assembly at one end of the cage, and the tail plate end plate assembly at the other end of the cage constitute the framework structure of the pipe pile.
[0003] At present, the fixing form of the end plate and the sleeve is mostly riveting. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the pipe pile end plate 10 is a circular flange structure; in the thickness direction of the end plate 10, a circumferential radially recessed groove 101 is arranged on the outer periphery of the end plate 10. As shown in Figure 3 , the sleeve 20 is a cylindrical structure, which is mainly formed by a segment of steel belt after being successively coiled, welded and profiled. When riveting, the worker needs to manually assemble the sleeve 20 and the end plate 10 together first, as shown in Figure 4 ; then the assembly of the sleeve 20 and the end plate 10 is placed on the riveting machine, and the sleeve 20 is riveted into the groove 101 on the outer periphery of the end plate 10 by the riveting wheel in the riveting machine, as shown in Figure 5 , so that the sleeve 20 and the end plate 10 are reliably fixedly connected into a whole. However, in the existing riveting process of the end plate 20 and the sleeve 10, the labor intensity of the worker is large, the production efficiency is low, and the production quality cannot be reliably guaranteed.

[0204] III. The first Y-direction driving source 64 is actuated to drive the sleeve taking and placing mechanism and the sleeve 20 to move downward to the specified height, so that the sleeve 20 hovers above the end plate 10, a certain gap is maintained between the sleeve 20 and the end plate 10, and the sleeve taking and placing mechanism still maintains the inflation of the sleeve 20; the piston rod of the downward driving source 681 extends downward to drive the sliding bushing 683 and the floating pressing disc 684 to move downward, the floating pressing disc 684 hits the sleeve 20 downward to assemble the sleeve 20 on the outer periphery of the end plate 10, and the floating pressing disc 684 maintains the downward pressing of the sleeve 20, so as to press the sleeve 20 and the end plate 10 downward on the spin riveting turntable 120.
[0205] IV. The inflation driving source 671 is reversely actuated to drive the inflation block 675 to retract radially, so that the inflation block 675 is separated from the sleeve 20 and the sleeve 20 is released.
[0206] V. The spin rivet driving source 130 drives the spin rivet turntable 120 to rotate, and the spin rivet device 70 is combined to press all the lower ends of the sleeve hoops 20 inward into the grooves 101 on the outer periphery of the end plate 10, and the spin rivet assembly of the sleeve hoops 20 and the end plate 10 is completed.
[0207] VI.
