[0002] Riveting is a way of connecting multiple parts by rivets, and axial force is used to drive the rivets into the workpieces, so that the workpieces can be connected in a movable riveting or fixed riveting manner.

[0003] Since the rivet connection requires a large force to be accurately applied between the workpieces, in order to reduce labor intensity and maintain accuracy, a riveting machine tool is usually used to drive the rivets into the workpieces during processing, which has high accuracy and fast processing speed, and can effectively reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0004] Although the prior art can solve the corresponding technical problems, there are still some defects: when the umbrella rib parts are movably riveted, the connecting holes between the umbrella ribs need to be accurately positioned, and some umbrella ribs are polished and painted with smooth paint on the surface in order to be more beautiful and avoid scratching the umbrella cloth during installation. However, when the polished umbrella ribs are riveted by the riveting machine tool, the surface of the polished umbrella ribs is relatively smooth, so the friction between the umbrella rib parts and the workbench is low when the umbrella rib parts are fed for riveting, and the umbrella rib parts are easily slightly slid on the workbench surface due to inertia and other factors, which further causes poor positioning accuracy between the umbrella rib parts, and it is also difficult to accurately rivet the smooth workpieces, and the adaptability is poor.

[0025] The contact head 54 comprises a pressing column A1 embedded in the power block 52 for pressing the workpiece and rivet, an upper pressing sheet A2 arranged on the bottom surface of the power block 52 and movable relative to the bottom surface of the power block 52 for absorbing pressure, a torsional spring ring A3 embedded in the bottom surface of the upper pressing sheet A2 for generating elastic pressure, a contact block A4 on the top of the upper pressing sheet A2 and movably clamped with the bottom of the upper pressing sheet A2 through the torsional spring ring A3, and a groove arranged on the bottom surface of the power block 52 for allowing the upper pressing sheet A2 to slide freely, wherein a spring is arranged between the top of the upper pressing sheet A2 and the inner wall of the groove of the power block 52. After the workpiece contacts the contact head 54, the upper pressing sheet A2 can be pushed upward, so as to be pressed into the groove of the power block 52 and compress the spring to generate elastic force, so that the upper pressing sheet A2 pushes the contact block A4 downward to tightly press against the surface of the workpiece, and the torsional spring ring A3 is twisted through the pressure and interaction force, so that the contact block A4 can be better aligned with the workpiece and generate greater pressure. The upper pressing sheet A2, the torsional spring ring A3 and the contact block A4 are all provided with two, and the two upper pressing sheets A2, the two torsional spring rings A3 and the two contact blocks A4 are mirror-distributed on both sides of the pressing column A1, so as to further enhance the fixing strength of the workpiece and balance the output force of both sides, thereby avoiding the skew phenomenon in the fixing process.

The adsorption disc A42 is an outwardly expanded bucket-shaped structure made of silica gel material, and the inner wall is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped grooves. Four arc-shaped grooves are arranged in the embodiment to effectively enhance the contact area between the adsorption disc A42 and the workpiece, so that the workpiece is less likely to fall off.
