Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cylinder assembly, and in particular relates to an automatic riveting device for a thin cylinder end cover and an operating method. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of modern industrial technology, cylinders, as important pneumatic actuators, have been widely used in automated production lines, robotics, aerospace, medical equipment, and the automotive industry. Among them, thin cylinders, with their thin bore and compact structure, meet the application scenarios with limited space or space saving requirements, and have become an indispensable part of industrial manufacturing.

[0003] The main components of a thin cylinder include a cylinder body, a front cover, a rear cover, a piston seat and a piston rod fixed on the piston seat; the riveting of the front cover and the rear cover of a thin cylinder is a key link in its manufacturing process; the riveting equipment for the front cover and the rear cover has improved the riveting quality and production efficiency to a certain extent, but the existing end cover riveting equipment still has the following shortcomings and limitations:

[0004] 1. Low positioning accuracy: Traditional equipment usually adopts a simple mechanical positioning method, which is extremely dependent on the operator's proficiency. It is difficult to ensure that the end cover corresponds to the center of the cylinder body, which easily leads to the displacement of the riveting position and affects the sealing of the cylinder.

[0005] 2. Low production efficiency: Traditional equipment mostly adopts a single riveting method. One pressure equipment can only be equipped with a set of single-sided riveting tooling, which can only adapt to one type of cylinder and can only rivet the front cover or rear cover at a time; when it is necessary to rivet the cylinder head at the other end or assemble other types of cylinders, the riveting tooling needs to be replaced, and multiple debugging and calibration are required after replacement, which greatly affects the production efficiency. In addition, the equipment has a low degree of automation and requires manual operations such as picking, placing and positioning of workpieces, which is not only inefficient but also increases labor costs.

[0006] 3. Poor safety: Traditional equipment has certain safety hazards during operation. For example, workpiece picking and placing, frequent replacement of tooling, and equipment debugging all require manual operation, which can easily cause damage to the workpiece or personal injury. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the defects in the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic riveting device and an operating method for a thin cylinder end cover, which are used to solve the problem that the riveting process of the end cover is currently performed manually during the installation process of the thin cylinder end cover, which consumes manpower and has low production efficiency.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides an automatic riveting device and an operating method for a thin cylinder end cover, comprising: a pressurizing mechanism, a riveting tool and a loading and unloading mechanism, the pressurizing mechanism comprising a first workbench, a rotating platform, a gantry, a first pressurizing assembly and a second pressurizing assembly, the rotating platform is arranged on the first workbench, the gantry and the first workbench are fixedly connected, the first pressurizing mechanism and the second pressurizing mechanism are both fixedly mounted on the gantry; the first pressurizing mechanism is used for positioning and pre-pressing the workpiece, and the second pressurizing mechanism is used for riveting the workpiece; the riveting tool comprises a front end cover riveting tool and a rear end cover riveting tool; a plurality of the front end cover riveting tool and the rear end cover riveting tool are fixedly mounted on the rotating platform and are arranged in a ring-shaped uniform array; the loading and unloading mechanism is used to place the workpiece on the riveting tool.
