Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive parts assembly technology, specifically relating to a device for horizontal synchronous riveting of damping shafts. Background Technology
[0002] In the design and manufacturing of automotive seats, to enhance passenger experience, key components such as armrest hinge brackets often need to have a flip-up function, exhibiting an ideal hovering effect and a delicate damping feel during the flipping process. Therefore, the industry generally prefers to use independent precision damping structures to achieve this goal. However, due to the precision-fitting characteristics of these damping flip-up structures, the manufacturing accuracy requirements are stringent, leading to challenges in the actual production yield. Especially in the interference fit between the damping friction plate and the damping shaft, extrusion riveting processes are usually required to ensure a tight bond between the two.
[0003] Current riveting equipment on the market generally adopts a single-head riveting method, requiring two independent extrusion operations on the damping shaft. This not only significantly reduces work efficiency, but also requires ensuring high-precision concentricity on both sides of the workpiece during each riveting process; otherwise, uneven stress on the workpiece will occur, increasing the potential risks caused by deformation. Furthermore, existing tooling equipment lacks sufficiently precise positioning solutions, making it difficult to ensure that the workpiece maintains perfect symmetry and balance during riveting, thus affecting the riveting consistency of the damping shafts on both sides. Therefore, a horizontal synchronous double-head riveting device is designed to improve riveting quality and production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The washer auxiliary positioning block 400 is used to position the limiting piece 8 to be processed; front positioning mechanism 5, the front positioning mechanism 5 has a second positioning seat 500 and a pair of second auxiliary positioning blocks 501, the second positioning seat 500 is set on the tooling table 1 and located at The inner limit block 100 is located away from the first positioning seat 300. A pair of second auxiliary positioning blocks 501 are slidably mounted on the tooling table 1 along the axial direction of the rivet joint 201. The pair of second auxiliary positioning blocks 501 are respectively located on both sides of the inner limit block 100 and are positioned between the pneumatic-hydraulic booster cylinder 200 and the washer auxiliary positioning block 400. The second positioning seat 500 is used to position the upper cover plate 9 to be processed. The pair of second auxiliary positioning blocks 501 are used to position the damping shaft 11 on both sides of the upper cover plate 9, which has damping connecting pieces 10 inserted therethrough.
[0020] An inner limiting block 100 is installed at the center of the tooling table 1. The two side walls of the inner limiting block 100 are designed with positioning contour grooves 101, which are mainly used to accurately position the fixing pad 6 to be assembled, ensuring that its position is accurate during the subsequent riveting process. The riveting mechanism 2 of the device is equipped with a pair of pneumatic-hydraulic booster cylinders 200. The pair of pneumatic-hydraulic booster cylinders 200 are symmetrically installed on the tooling table 1, and their axes are distributed along the axis of symmetry of the inner limiting block 100. Each is equipped with a riveting joint 201. The axes of the two riveting joints 201 are always kept on the same straight line. The rear positioning mechanism 3 is mainly composed of a first positioning seat 300 and a pair of first auxiliary positioning blocks 301. The first positioning seat 300 is fixed on the tooling table 1, and the pair of first auxiliary positioning blocks 301 are respectively placed on both sides of the inner limiting block 100. The function of the first positioning seat 300 and the pair of first auxiliary positioning blocks 301 is to perform overall positioning of the lower fixed base 7 to be processed, and to precisely align the riveting holes on the lower fixed base 7. In addition, there is a washer positioning mechanism 4, which includes a pair of washer auxiliary positioning blocks 400, which are respectively connected to both sides of the inner limit block 100. The washer auxiliary positioning blocks 400 are connected to the inner limit block 100 by screws, so that the first auxiliary positioning block 301 is exactly located between the washer auxiliary positioning block 400 and the positioning contour groove 101. The main task of the washer auxiliary positioning block 400 is to position the limit piece 8 to be processed. The front positioning mechanism 5 is provided with a second positioning seat 500 and a pair of second auxiliary positioning blocks 501. The second positioning seat 500 is located at the far end of the limiting block 100 inside the tooling table 1. The second auxiliary positioning blocks 501 can slide along the tooling table 1 in the axial direction of the rivet joint 201. They are located between the pneumatic-hydraulic booster cylinder 200 and the washer auxiliary positioning block 400, respectively. The second positioning seat 500 is mainly used to position the upper cover plate 9 to be processed, while the second auxiliary positioning blocks 501 are responsible for accurately positioning the damping shaft 11 on both sides of the upper cover plate 9, which has been inserted with damping connecting pieces 10.
[0021] It should be noted that the fixing gasket 6 is a metal gasket, while the limiting piece 8 is a limiting piece made of plastic.
[0022] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a groove 102 is provided in the middle of the inner limiting block 100, and retractable positioning pins 103 are provided on both sides of the inner limiting block 100. The positioning pins 103 are collinear with the axis of the rivet joint 201, and the positioning pins 103 move against the damping shaft 11.
[0023] The inner limit block 100 has a groove 102 in the middle part, and retractable positioning pins 103 are cleverly inserted on both sides. It is worth mentioning that the axis of these positioning pins 103 is strictly collinear with the axis of the riveting joint 201. In actual operation, the positioning pins 103 can move against the damping shaft 11, thereby ensuring the accurate position of the damping shaft 11 during the riveting process.
[0024] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the inner limiting block 100 is provided with a first elastic member 104, and the end of the positioning pin 103 near the groove 102 is provided with a limiting part. The first elastic member 104 is located in the groove 102, and the two ends of the first elastic member 104 are respectively connected to the limiting parts of the positioning pins 103 on both sides that are close to each other.
[0025] The inner limiting block 100 is also equipped with a first elastic element 104, which is located inside the groove 102. A limiting part is provided near the end of the groove 102 where the positioning pin 103 is located. The limiting part moves against the groove wall of the groove 102. The two ends of the first elastic element 104 are tightly connected to the limiting parts on the two side positioning pins 103 respectively. This design helps to provide a flexible and stable positioning effect during riveting. The limiting part is provided to prevent the positioning pin 103 from disengaging from the inner limiting block 100 due to the elastic force of the first elastic element 104.
[0026] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the inner limit block 100 is provided with a track groove 105 and a handle 106 on the left and right sides. The handle 106 on each side passes through the track groove 105 on the corresponding side and is connected to the positioning pin 103 on the corresponding side.
[0027] To facilitate the operator in adjusting the position of the positioning pin 103, the inner limit block 100 is also provided with a track groove 105 and a handle 106 on both sides. The handle 106 on each side passes through the corresponding track groove 105 and is connected to the positioning pin 103 on that side. The operator can adjust the positioning pin 103 to extend and retract on the inner limit block 100 by moving the handle 106 in the track groove 105.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first error-proofing detection pin 302 is provided on the first positioning base 300, and a first error-proofing hole is provided on the lower fixed base 7. The first error-proofing detection pin 302 is connected to the first error-proofing hole. A second error-proofing detection pin 502 is provided on the second positioning base 500, and a second error-proofing hole is provided on the lower fixed base 7. The second error-proofing detection pin 502 is connected to the second error-proofing hole.
[0029] The first positioning base 300 is equipped with a first error-proofing detection pin 302, and the lower fixed base 7 to be processed has a pre-drilled first error-proofing hole that matches it. The connection between the first error-proofing detection pin 302 and the first error-proofing hole prevents assembly errors. Similarly, the second positioning base 500 also has a second error-proofing detection pin 502, which is connected to the second error-proofing hole on the lower fixed base 7. This dual error-proofing design ensures the accuracy of workpiece assembly and the smooth progress of the riveting process.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the front positioning mechanism 5 has a clamping assembly, which includes a clamping cylinder 503, a support base 504, a hinge 505, and a clamping block 506. The clamping cylinder 503 is mounted on the tooling table 1, and one end of the clamping cylinder 503 is rotatably connected to the clamping block 506. The support base 504 is mounted on the clamping cylinder 503. One end of the hinge 505 is hinged to the support base 504, and the other end of the hinge is hinged to the clamping block 506. The clamping block 506 is used to clamp the upper cover plate 9 located on the second positioning seat 500.
[0031] One of the key components of the front positioning mechanism 5 is the clamping assembly, which consists of a clamping cylinder 503, a support base 504, a hinge 505, and a clamping block 506. The clamping cylinder 503 is fixed in a suitable position on the tooling table 1, with one end connected to the clamping block 506 via a rotatable connection. This means that the clamping cylinder 503 can transmit force to the clamping block 506 through rotation during operation. The support base 504 is mounted on the clamping cylinder 503, serving a load-bearing and supporting function. One end of the hinge 505 is hinged to the support base 504, and the other end is also hinged to the clamping block 506, thus forming a flexible linkage system. In actual operation, the clamping cylinder 503 drives the clamping block 506 through this hinge mechanism, thereby firmly clamping the upper cover plate 9 placed on the second positioning seat 500, ensuring a stable connection between the upper cover plate 9 and other components during riveting.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the front positioning mechanism 5 has a bracket auxiliary pad 507, which is located on the side of the second positioning seat 500 and is used to support the upper cover plate 9.
[0033] The front positioning mechanism 5 also includes a support auxiliary pad 507. The auxiliary pad is located on the side of the second positioning seat 500. Its main function is to provide additional support for the upper cover plate 9. When the upper cover plate 9 is placed on the second positioning seat 500 for riveting, the support auxiliary pad 507 can reduce the weight load of the upper cover plate 9, maintain its horizontal stability, and prevent displacement or deformation due to uneven force during riveting.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the riveting mechanism 2 has a pair of limiting slider seats 202, which are fixed on the tooling table 1 and located on both sides of the inner limiting block 100. The limiting slider seats 202 are provided with a first guide hole 203 and a second guide hole 204. The riveting head 201 is movably passed through the first guide hole 203. One end of the second auxiliary positioning block 501 is provided with a second elastic element 508, which is connected to the washer auxiliary positioning block 400. The other end of the second auxiliary positioning block 501 is slidably connected to the second guide hole 204.
[0035] The precise guidance and control of the riveting mechanism 2 is reflected in the design of a pair of limit slider seats 202. These limit slider seats 202 are fixed on both sides of the tooling table 1 and are positioned corresponding to the inner limit block 100. The limit slider seats 202 are respectively provided with a first guide hole 203 and a second guide hole 204. The riveting head 201 can move freely in the first guide hole 203 to ensure the accuracy of its linear feed. One end of the second auxiliary positioning block 501 is equipped with a second elastic element 508, which is connected to the washer auxiliary positioning block 400. The other end of the second auxiliary positioning block 501 can slide in the second guide hole 204. This design not only ensures the flexible positioning of the damping shaft 11 during the riveting process, but also ensures the dynamic stability during the riveting process, and also prevents the second auxiliary positioning block 501 from being damaged during the riveting process.
[0036] It should be noted that both the first elastic element 104 and the second elastic element 508 are springs.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the riveting mechanism 2 is provided with a sensing element 205, which is located on the end side of the limiting slider seat 202 away from the inner limiting block 100. The driving end of the gas-liquid booster cylinder 200 is provided with a connecting shaft 206. The end of the riveting joint 201 away from the inner limiting block 100 is engaged with the connecting shaft 206, and the connecting shaft 206 moves against the limiting slider seat 202.
[0038] To monitor the riveting process in real time, a sensing element 205 is installed on the riveting mechanism 2. The sensing element 205 is located on the limiting slider seat 202 on the side away from the inner limiting block 100. At the same time, a connecting shaft 206 is provided at the drive end of the pneumatic-hydraulic booster cylinder 200. When the end of the connecting shaft 206 is in contact with the limiting slider seat 202, the sensing element 205 can stop the drive end of the pneumatic-hydraulic booster cylinder 200 from moving, ensuring that the product is riveted in place. This structural design is conducive to accurately controlling the stroke of the riveting joint 201, ensuring the safety and accuracy of the riveting operation.
[0039] In this embodiment, a slot is provided on the connecting shaft 206, and a connecting shaft is provided at the end of the rivet joint 201 away from the inner limit block 100. The connecting shaft is engaged with the slot, which facilitates the subsequent maintenance and replacement of the rivet joint 201 by the operators.
[0040] Specifically, the lower end of the tooling table 1 is provided with a support frame 107 and an electrical control box 108. The electrical control box 108 is located in the support frame 107. The support frame 107 is used to support the tooling table 1, and the electrical control box 108 is used to control the riveting mechanism 2 and the front positioning mechanism 5.
[0041] In the underlying structural design of the entire device, a support frame 107 is fixed at the lower end of the tooling table 1, and an electrical control box 108 is set inside this frame. The support frame 107 undertakes the task of supporting the entire tooling table 1 and ensuring that the device remains stable during operation. The electrical control box 108 plays the role of the core controller. It is embedded inside the support frame 107 and is responsible for regulating the various actions of the entire riveting mechanism 2 and the front positioning mechanism 5. Through the intelligent electronic control system, it ensures that the entire device accurately executes the riveting process according to the predetermined program and parameters. It is worth mentioning that the tooling table 1 is equipped with operation buttons to facilitate the control of the electrical control box 108.
[0042] During loading, first, the metal fixing pad 6 is inserted onto the left and right positioning pins 103 of the inner limit block 100. The metal fixing pad 6 can be positioned in the irregular groove of the inner limit block 100, which can ensure that the left and right sides are positioned concentrically. There are two reset handles 106 on the inner limit block 100. The handles 106 are connected to the positioning pins 103. After the two positioning pins 103 are moved back (moving closer to each other) to the designated position, the lower fixing base 7 of the armrest hinge is installed on the first positioning seat 300. The reset handles 106 are released. Under the action of the reset spring, the positioning pins 103 position the rivet holes on both sides of the lower fixing base 7 concentrically on the first auxiliary positioning block 301. The rivet holes on both sides of the lower fixing base 7 are kept in place under the limiting action of the positioning pins 103. The plastic limiting pieces 8 are then placed on the left and right washer auxiliary positioning blocks 400 respectively. The upper cover plate 9 assembly of the armrest hinge is then placed on the second positioning seat 500. The damping connecting piece 10 and the damping shaft 11 on the upper cover plate 9 assembly have been pre-pressed. The damping shaft 11 is corrected on the second auxiliary positioning block 501 to ensure concentricity of the left and right sides.
[0043] The working principle of a horizontal synchronous riveting damping shaft device: When the operator presses the riveting button, the entire riveting process proceeds under the precise control of the PLM electronic control system. First, the electronic control system instructs the clamping cylinder 503 assembly to activate. This assembly applies pressure to the upper cover plate 9 assembly of the armrest hinge through a mechanical transmission structure, pre-clamping it to eliminate any possible gaps and ensure a tight fit between the upper cover plate 9 and the lower fixed base 7 during riveting. After a short delay (e.g., 1 second), the electronic control system continues to control the simultaneous activation of the pneumatic-hydraulic booster cylinders 200 on both sides, pushing the riveting joint 201 inward synchronously. At this time, the extrusion head of the damping shaft 11 adopts a knurled structure design, the purpose of which is to effectively extrude with the riveting holes on both sides of the lower fixed base 7 during the riveting process, forming a proper interference fit. The size of the interference fit directly determines the functional performance and durability of the product in actual use; therefore, the precision during the riveting process is crucial. During the riveting stage, the sensor switch monitors the position and riveting progress of the rivet joint 201 in real time. Once the rivet joint 201 approaches or reaches the preset riveting depth, the sensor signal is fed back to the electronic control system, triggering the pneumatic-hydraulic booster cylinder 200 to enter the hydraulic boosting mode and simultaneously maintain pressure to ensure that the damping shaft 11 is fully and evenly riveted to the bottom, forming a stable connection. When the rivet joint 201 has indeed reached the designated riveting depth, the limit slider seat 202 plays a crucial limiting role, preventing the rivet joint 201 from going further and ensuring that the parts are not damaged due to over-riveting. After riveting is completed, the pneumatic-hydraulic booster cylinder 200 unloads the pressure, and the rivet joint 201 returns to its initial position under the action of the pneumatic-hydraulic booster cylinder 200. Because the riveting joint 201 in the device design is concentric and moves synchronously, and the fixed base and limiting mechanism of the workpiece are precision machined in one go, the height symmetry and accuracy of the riveting on both sides can be ensured in both the riveting damping shaft 11 and the cooperation with the damping connecting piece 10, thereby greatly improving the overall accuracy and work efficiency of riveting.
