[0070] The battery cover is composed of a pressure plate, an insulating plate, a base plate and other parts, which are pre-set with holes. When the parts are stacked together, the holes are aligned with each other to form rivet placement holes. The goal of this embodiment is to automatically and accurately place multiple rivets in these rivet placement holes at the same time to complete the rivet placement work before the punching and riveting step. For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a riveting device for a new energy battery cover in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of point A in the middle. Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a riveting device for a new energy battery cover plate in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] An embodiment of the present invention provides a riveting device for a new energy battery cover plate, the riveting device for a new energy battery cover plate comprising:

[0072] Machine 100;

[0073] A supporting mechanism 200 , wherein the supporting mechanism 200 is installed on the machine platform 100 ;

[0074] A rivet receiving device 300, wherein the rivet receiving device 300 is connected to the supporting mechanism 200;

[0075] A rivet placing device 400 is installed on a side of the rivet receiving device 300 facing the machine platform 100;

[0076] At least one rivet feeding device 500, mounted on the machine platform 100 and spaced apart from the support mechanism 200, the rivet feeding device 500 being used to feed a plurality of rivets to the rivet receiving device 300;

[0077] The rivet receiving device 300 sequentially receives multiple rivets fed by the rivet feeding device 500 and releases them to the rivet placing device 400 at the same time, and the rivet placing device 400 simultaneously places multiple rivets on the battery cover to be riveted;

[0078] A punching device 600, the punching device 600 comprises a base 601 and a punching member 602, the punching member 602 is connected to the base 601, and the execution end of the punching member 602 faces the base 601;

[0079] The conveying member 700 spans across the machine 100 and the base. A riveting jig 100a is installed on the conveying member 700. The riveting jig 100a is used to place the battery cover to be riveted. The conveying member is used to move the riveting jig to drive the battery cover with rivets to move to the bottom of the stamping member.

[0080] In this embodiment, the machine 100 is used to place the battery cover to be riveted and provide a mounting base for other components to ensure the stability and efficiency of the entire riveting process. The structure of the machine 100 is usually made of high-strength metal materials to ensure that it will not deform when bearing the weight of various devices and provide a solid platform for riveting.

[0081] In some embodiments, a conveying member may be provided between the machine 100 and the rivet placement device 400, and the conveying member is used to transfer the battery cover to be riveted between different workstations. The conveying member may be in the form of a slide rail, a roller or a conveyor belt to ensure the smooth movement of the battery cover and reduce vibration and deviation during the conveying process. The design of the conveying member takes into account the precise cooperation with the rivet placement device 400 to ensure that the battery cover can be accurately aligned with the rivet placement position.

[0082] The conveying member is equipped with a riveting jig 100a for placing the battery cover to be riveted. The riveting jig 100a is used to fix the battery cover in a suitable position to prevent it from moving during the conveying and riveting process. The design of the riveting jig 100a takes into account the size and shape of the battery cover, and is usually equipped with buckles, clamps or other fixing devices to ensure that the battery cover remains stable during riveting. This design helps to improve the placement accuracy of the rivets and ensure that each rivet can be accurately embedded in the corresponding hole, thereby ensuring the quality and consistency of the riveting of the battery cover.

[0083] The support mechanism 200 is installed on the machine 100 and is spaced apart from the riveting fixture 100a. It is mainly used to support and fix the rivet receiving device 300. The support mechanism 200 can also drive the rivet receiving device 300 to move in the vertical direction relative to the machine 100. The devices that can be used are cylinders, screw lifting devices or electric push rods.

[0084] The rivet receiving device 300 is connected to the supporting mechanism 200 and is used to receive rivets from the rivet feeding device 500. The rivet feeding device 500 is responsible for feeding a plurality of rivets to the rivet receiving device 300. A vibrating feeding tray may be used to arrange the rivets neatly by vibration to ensure smooth feeding.

[0085] The rivet placing device 400 is installed on the side of the rivet receiving device 300 facing the machine 100 and facing the riveting fixture 100a, and is used to simultaneously install rivets on the battery cover plate placed on the riveting fixture 100a.

[0086] During operation, the rivet feeding device 500 first arranges a plurality of rivets neatly by vibration or other means, and arranges the rivets along the guide rails by the vibration of the vibration plate and sequentially conveys them to the rivet receiving device 300. The rivet receiving device 300 is provided with a plurality of rivet receiving holes, which can receive rivets from the feeding device one by one until a predetermined number of rivets are received. A card slot or positioning mechanism for keeping the rivets stable is provided inside the rivet receiving device 300 to ensure the precise position of the rivets during the receiving process.

[0087] When the rivet receiving device 300 completes the receiving, the rivet receiving device 300 releases all rivets to the rivet placing device 400 at the same time through the internal control mechanism or the mechanical drive device, thereby realizing the synchronous release of multiple rivets. After receiving the rivets, the rivet placing device 400 places the rivets in the corresponding rivet holes of the battery cover. Multiple rivets can be installed at the same time to prepare for the subsequent riveting process of the stamping device. During the entire process, the loading, receiving, releasing and installing of the rivets are all completed through automated control. The close cooperation between the various components makes the loading, receiving, releasing and installing of the rivets highly automated, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving the riveting efficiency and installation accuracy.

[0088] At this point, it is necessary to apply a certain amount of pressure to these rivets to complete the riveting; the application of pressure can be completed by a stamping device; specifically, the stamping device includes a base and a stamping component. The stamping component is installed on the base, with its execution end facing the base, and is used to apply pressure to the rivets on the battery cover to complete the riveting operation. The stamping component can be in the form of a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or an electric punch to provide stable and strong pressure to form a firm connection between the rivet and the battery cover. The design of the stamping component also includes precision sensors for detecting the pressure applied during the stamping process to ensure the stability and consistency of the riveting quality.

[0089] It should be noted that when the stamping component adopts a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, the execution end is a push rod of the cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder, and a pressing die installed on the push rod.

[0090] The conveying member spans the machine table 100 and the base, and is equipped with a riveting jig 100a for placing the battery cover to be riveted. The riveting jig 100a is used to fix the battery cover in a suitable position to prevent it from moving during the conveying and riveting process. The design of the conveying member enables it to transfer the battery cover between different stations, and move the battery cover with rivets from the rivet placement position to the bottom of the stamping member to complete the riveting operation, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the entire riveting process.

[0091] The cooperation between the rivet receiving device 300 and the rivet placing device 400 enables the corresponding rivets to be accurately placed in these rivet holes. After the rivets are placed, the conveying member drives the riveting jig 100a and the battery cover to move under the stamping member, and the execution end of the stamping member applies pressure to the rivet to complete the riveting operation. The entire process is accurately executed by the automated control system to ensure accurate positioning and appropriate pressure at each step.

[0092] The technical solution in this embodiment can realize the automatic arrangement, sequential reception and synchronous release of rivets. The rivet receiving device 300 sequentially receives multiple rivets from the rivet feeding device 500, and after obtaining a preset number of rivets, releases them to the rivet placing device 400 at the same time, and the rivet placing device 400 accurately places these rivets into the rivet holes of the battery cover. The automated design of the rivet receiving device 300 improves the efficiency of the riveting preparation process and reduces the manual operation steps and labor intensity.

[0093] In addition, the precise placement function of the rivet placement device 400 ensures the installation accuracy of the rivets on the battery cover. At the same time, the close cooperation between the multiple components provides a good foundation for the subsequent stamping and riveting process, meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0094] Continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the rivet receiving device 300 includes:

[0095] A material distribution mechanism 302, which is connected to the supporting mechanism 200 and is connected to the rivet feeding device 500, and is used to sequentially receive a plurality of rivets fed by the rivet feeding device 500;

[0096] The first driving mechanism 312 is installed on the material dividing mechanism 302. The execution end of the driving mechanism is in transmission connection with the material dividing mechanism 302. The driving mechanism is used to output power to drive the material dividing mechanism 302 to receive a plurality of rivets in sequence.

[0097] In this embodiment, the material distribution mechanism 302 is connected to the support mechanism 200 and docked with the rivet feeding device 500, and is mainly used to sequentially receive multiple rivets from the rivet feeding device 500. The design of the material distribution mechanism 302 can adopt multiple rivet receiving holes or tracks to ensure that the rivets are arranged in a predetermined order and transmitted in sequence to ensure that the subsequent synchronous release process is stable and efficient. The material of the material distribution mechanism 302 can be selected from high-strength metal materials to ensure wear resistance and reliability in long-term use. In addition, the shape and structure of the material distribution mechanism 302 can be optimized according to the specific shape and size of the rivet to ensure the smooth reception and transmission of the rivet.

[0098] The first driving mechanism 312 is installed on the material distribution mechanism 302, and is used to provide driving force to drive the material distribution mechanism 302 to receive rivets in sequence. The execution end of the first driving mechanism 312 is connected to the material distribution mechanism 302 by transmission, and the material distribution mechanism 302 is precisely controlled by a mechanical transmission structure (such as a gear, a chain or a slide rail). The driving mechanism can use a power device such as a servo motor, a stepper motor, etc. to provide stable and accurate power output to ensure smooth and accurate rivet receiving process.

[0099] Exemplarily, when a servo motor is used, a positioning rotation at a preset angle can be achieved. Specifically, the servo motor realizes precise angle feedback control through its built-in encoder. For example, when the material distribution mechanism 302 needs to rotate to a specific position, the servo motor will receive a command sent by the control system, monitor the current angle position through the encoder, and ensure that the material distribution mechanism 302 can stay at the precise set position. This precise positioning method enables the material distribution mechanism 302 to reliably receive and transmit rivets, thereby ensuring the accuracy and controllability of the entire rivet receiving process. In addition, the control method of the first drive mechanism 312 can be adjusted by an automatic control system.

[0100] Through the close cooperation between the material distribution mechanism 302 and the first driving mechanism 312 of this embodiment, the automatic reception and precise distribution of rivets are realized, thereby improving the efficiency of riveting preparation, reducing the need for manual intervention, and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of rivets during the reception and distribution process.

[0101] Continue reading Figure 2 In this embodiment, the material distribution mechanism 302 includes:

[0102] A carrier frame 304, the carrier frame 304 is connected to the supporting mechanism 200;

[0103] The material dividing component 306 and the material dividing mechanism 302 are installed on a side of the carrier 304 facing away from the machine 100 , and the first driving mechanism 312 is installed above the material dividing mechanism 302 .

[0104] In this embodiment, the material distribution mechanism 302 includes a carrier 304 and a material distribution member 306 to achieve efficient reception and distribution of rivets. The synergy between the material distribution mechanism 302, the support mechanism 200, the carrier 304 and the first drive mechanism 312 makes the entire rivet transmission process more stable and efficient.

[0105] The support frame 304 is the basic structure of the material distribution mechanism 302, connected to the support mechanism 200, and provides a reliable support platform. The design of the support frame 304 needs to have high strength and rigidity to ensure that it can withstand the corresponding force and maintain stability during the rivet receiving and transmission process. The material of the support frame 304 is usually high-strength steel or aluminum alloy to ensure durability and anti-deformation ability in long-term use.

[0106] The material distribution member 306 is installed on the side of the carrier 304 facing away from the machine 100, and is used to receive and distribute rivets. The design of the material distribution member 306 can include multiple rivet receiving holes or guide rails (that is, the material collection part 310a) to ensure that the rivets can be correctly received and transmitted in a predetermined order. The surface of the material distribution member 306 can be treated with anti-wear to reduce friction and improve the smoothness and stability of rivet transmission.

[0107] The first driving mechanism 312 can be installed above the material dividing member 306, and is responsible for providing driving force to drive the material dividing member 306 to perform corresponding actions. The first driving mechanism 312 can use a servo motor, a stepper motor or other devices to achieve precise control of the material dividing member 306. For example, when a servo motor is used, the driving mechanism can control the movement of the material dividing member 306 through precise angle positioning, thereby ensuring accurate transmission of rivets in different processes.

[0108] Through the close cooperation of the material dividing mechanism 302, the support frame 304 and the material dividing member 306 of this embodiment, and the precise control of the first driving mechanism 312, the receiving and distributing process of the rivets can be automated and made efficient, which not only improves the production efficiency but also reduces the dependence on manual operation.

[0109] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a riveting device for a new energy battery cover in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 for Figure 4 A partial enlarged view of point B in the middle.

[0110] Furthermore, the material dividing component 306 includes:

[0111] A substrate 308, the substrate 308 is mounted on a side of the carrier 304 facing away from the machine 100, a mounting portion 308a runs through the middle of the substrate 308, and at least one side of the substrate 308 is configured with a first opening 308b communicating with the mounting portion 308a;

[0112] The material distribution plate 310 is rotatably mounted on a side of the carrier frame 304 facing away from the machine 100 and is located in the mounting portion 308a. A plurality of material taking portions 310a are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the material distribution plate 310;

[0113] The material distribution plate 310 is driven by the first driving mechanism 312 to rotate in the mounting portion 308a, so as to drive the plurality of material taking portions 310a to move to the first opening 308b in sequence to take the rivets.

[0114] In this embodiment, the material distribution member 306 is further refined into a base plate 308 and a material distribution plate 310 to better achieve efficient reception and distribution of rivets. Through the synergistic effect of the base plate 308 and the material distribution plate 310, the rivet transmission process is more accurate, stable, and easy to maintain and adjust.

[0115] Specifically, the substrate 308 is mounted on the side of the carrier 304 facing away from the machine 100, serving as the basic support component of the entire material distribution component 306. A mounting portion 308a is provided in the middle of the substrate 308, which is used to accommodate the material distribution disc 310 and provide a space for its rotation. The mounting portion 308a can be formed by casting, machining or stamping processes to ensure the accuracy and surface smoothness of the mounting portion 308a, thereby reducing the friction and resistance of the material distribution disc 310 during the rotation process. Furthermore, at least one side of the substrate 308 is designed with a first opening 308b connected to the mounting portion 308a, so that the rivet enters the material distribution system through this opening. As for the material of the substrate 308, high-strength metal can be selected to ensure its stability and wear resistance in long-term use.

[0116] The material distribution plate 310 is rotatably mounted on the side of the carrier 304 facing away from the machine 100, and is located in the mounting portion 308a of the base plate 308. A plurality of material collection portions 310a are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the material distribution plate 310. Specifically, these material collection portions 310a can be rivet receiving ports, which are used to sequentially obtain rivets from the first opening 308b. In order to further improve the efficiency of rivet acquisition, the shape and size of the material collection portion 310a can be customized according to the size of the rivet. For example, when the rivet is round, the material collection portion 310a can be set as a round opening; when the rivet is square in shape, the material collection portion 310a can be a square opening to ensure the reliability of the rivet during the acquisition and transmission process.

[0117] During operation, the material distribution plate 310 rotates in the mounting portion 308a under the drive of the first driving mechanism 312 to drive the multiple material taking parts 310a to move to the first opening 308b position in sequence, so as to obtain the rivet. The first driving mechanism 312 can use a servo motor or other driving device capable of achieving precise positioning, and through precise angle control of the material distribution plate 310, ensure that the material taking part 310a can accurately align with the first opening 308b to obtain the rivet, so as to ensure the accuracy of the automated receiving and distribution process of the rivet.

[0118] Continue reading Figure 5 In this embodiment, a plurality of through holes 304 a are formed through the carrier 304 , and the plurality of through holes 304 a correspond to the plurality of material taking parts 310 a , and are used for the rivets in the material taking parts 310 a to pass through so as to enter the rivet placing device 400 .

[0119] In this embodiment, a plurality of through holes 304a are formed through the carrier 304, and these through holes 304a correspond to the plurality of material taking parts 310a one by one, and are used to provide a passage before the rivets enter the rivet placement device 400, so that the rivets in the material taking parts 310a can pass smoothly and enter the next process. This design ensures that the rivets have a clear and efficient path when being transferred from the material distribution tray 310 to the rivet placement device 400.

[0120] In this embodiment, the multiple material taking parts 310a of the material distribution plate 310 may take rivets during the rotation process. When the material taking part 310a takes the rivet and needs to release it to the rivet placement device 400, the rivet can be released through the corresponding through hole 304a on the carrier 304. Specifically, when the material taking part 310a moves to the corresponding position, the rivet in the material taking part 310a smoothly slides into the rivet placement device 400 through the through hole 304a aligned with it, thereby realizing the accurate transfer of the rivet.

[0121] In order to prevent the rivet from slipping through the through hole 304a to the rivet placement device 400 in advance during the material removal process, a material blocking member 314 is also provided in this embodiment. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Specifically, the material dispensing mechanism 302 further includes a material blocking member 314, and the material blocking member 314 includes:

[0122] The material blocking plate 315 is installed on the side of the carrier 304 facing away from the machine 100. The material blocking plate 315 can move along the surface of the carrier 304. The material blocking plate 315 is used to block the rivets obtained by the material dividing member 306 from entering the rivet placing device 400.

[0123] The second driving mechanism 316 is disposed on the side of the carrier 304 facing the machine 100 . The execution end of the second driving mechanism 316 is connected to the baffle plate 315 , and is used to drive the baffle plate 315 to move relative to the surface of the carrier 304 to release the rivets captured by the material dividing component 306 into the rivet placing device 400 .

[0124] When the rivet needs to be released, the second driving mechanism 316 drives the blocking plate 315 to move away, so that the rivet passes through the through hole 304a and enters the rivet placement device 400. This design ensures that the release process of the rivet can be accurately controlled, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of the entire rivet delivery system.

[0125] Through the design of this embodiment, the close cooperation of the carrier 304, the through hole 304a, the material blocking member 314 and the driving mechanism realizes the precise control of the rivet during the receiving, transmitting and releasing process, and avoids the rivet from slipping off in advance during the transmission process. The whole system not only improves the efficiency and stability of rivet transmission, but also ensures the smooth connection of each process.

[0126] In the above-mentioned embodiment, when the blocking plate 315 does not block the through hole 304a, the material taking part 310a can establish a connection with the rivet placing device 400 through the corresponding through hole 304a to ensure smooth rivet delivery. Further, after the connection is established, the corresponding rivet needs to be accurately guided to the preset position, which is achieved by multiple rivet delivery pipes 408. Therefore, it is achieved by multiple rivet delivery pipes 408, see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the rivet placement device 400 includes:

[0127] A rivet installation component 402 is installed on a side of the rivet receiving device 300 facing the machine platform 100;

[0128] A rivet conveying pipe 408 , wherein a plurality of the rivet conveying pipes 408 are installed between the rivet installation component 402 and the rivet receiving device 300 , and are used for allowing a plurality of rivets released simultaneously by the rivet receiving device 300 to move to the rivet installation component 402 .

[0129] In this embodiment, the rivet placement device 400 includes a rivet installation component 402 and a rivet delivery pipe 408. The rivet installation component 402 is installed on the side of the rivet receiving device 300 facing the machine 100, and serves as the final installation platform for the rivet. The rivet delivery pipe 408 serves as a key path for rivet transmission, and is used to accurately deliver multiple rivets released by the rivet receiving device 300 to the rivet installation component 402. Multiple rivet delivery pipes 408 are arranged between the rivet installation component 402 and the rivet receiving device 300. These pipes ensure that the rivets remain smooth during the transmission process and do not deviate from the path.

[0130] The material of the pipeline is usually metal or engineering plastic with a low friction coefficient to reduce the resistance of the rivet during movement. At the same time, the length and curvature of each conveying pipeline can be accurately calculated to adapt to different installation conditions, thereby ensuring that the rivet can smoothly reach the preset position in the optimal path.

[0131] In this embodiment, the various components of the rivet placement device 400 cooperate with each other, making the process of receiving, conveying and installing rivets more accurate and automated.

[0132] Continue reading Figure 2 Furthermore, the rivet installation component 402 includes a positioning bracket 404 and a plurality of locking components installed on the positioning bracket 404. The positioning bracket 404 is installed on a side of the rivet receiving device 300 facing the machine 100 through a connecting rod. The positioning bracket 404 is used to fix the outlets of the plurality of rivet delivery pipes 408 at a preset position. A locking component 406 is installed near the outlet of each rivet delivery pipe 408, and the locking component 406 is used to clamp or loosen the rivet.

[0133] In this embodiment, the rivet installation component 402 is further divided into a positioning bracket 404 and a plurality of locking components 406. Through the coordinated action of the positioning bracket 404 and the locking components 406, the rivet can be delivered to a preset position.

[0134] Specifically, the positioning bracket 404 is installed on the side of the rivet receiving device 300 facing the machine 100 through a connecting rod, and plays a supporting and fixing role. The main function of the positioning bracket 404 is to fix the outlets of the multiple rivet delivery pipes 408 at a preset position to ensure that the rivets are accurately positioned when they reach the installation point. The design of the positioning bracket 404 needs to have sufficient strength and stability to withstand the pressure of the multiple rivet delivery pipes 408. It is usually made of high-strength metal materials to ensure that it is not easy to deform or loosen during long-term use.

[0135] A plurality of locking members 406 are mounted on the positioning bracket 404, and each locking member 406 corresponds to an outlet of a rivet delivery pipe 408. The function of the locking member 406 is to clamp or release the rivet after the rivet is delivered to the outlet position to control the installation state of the rivet. The locking member 406 can be a pneumatic clamp, an electric clamp, etc. For example, a pneumatic clamp can respond quickly to achieve rapid clamping or release of the rivet, thereby improving the installation efficiency; while the electric clamp has higher precision and controllability, and is suitable for occasions where high precision is required for rivet installation.

[0136] Through the design of this embodiment, the close cooperation between the positioning bracket 404 and the locking member 406 realizes efficient automated control of rivet delivery, positioning and installation. That is to say, the positioning bracket 404 fixes the outlet of the delivery pipeline to ensure that the rivet is accurately positioned when it is delivered to the installation point, while the locking member 406 realizes stable placement of the rivet through clamping and loosening operations.

[0137] Continue reading Figure 2 In this embodiment, the supporting mechanism 200 includes:

[0138] A support column 201, one end of the support column 201 is connected to the machine platform 100, and the other end of the support column 201 extends in a direction away from the machine platform 100;

[0139] The lifting module 202 is installed on the support column 201, and the lifting module 202 is used to drive the rivet receiving device 300 and the rivet placing device 400 to move in the vertical direction relative to the machine platform 100;

[0140] Among them, the lifting module 202 drives the rivet receiving device 300 to move in a direction away from the machine 100, so that the rivet receiving device 300 is docked with the rivet feeding device 500 to obtain multiple rivets; after the rivet receiving device 300 obtains a preset number of rivets, the lifting module 202 drives the rivet receiving device 300 and the rivet placing device 400 to move in a direction close to the machine 100.

[0141] In this embodiment, the support mechanism 200 includes a support column 201 and a lifting module 202 to realize the vertical movement of the rivet receiving device 300 and the rivet placing device 400 relative to the machine 100. The support mechanism 200 can make the rivet receiving and installation process more flexible;

[0142] Specifically, one end of the support column 201 is connected to the machine platform 100, and the other end extends in a direction away from the machine platform 100, serving as the basic structure of the support mechanism 200. The main function of the support column 201 is to provide stable support to bear the weight of the lifting module 202, the rivet receiving device 300, and the rivet placing device 400.

[0143] The lifting module 202 is installed on the support column 201, and is used to drive the rivet receiving device 300 and the rivet placing device 400 to move in the vertical direction relative to the machine 100. The design of the lifting module 202 can adopt devices such as electric lifters, hydraulic cylinders or air cylinders to provide smooth and precise lifting and lowering movements. When the lifting module 202 drives the rivet receiving device 300 to move away from the machine 100, the rivet receiving device 300 can dock with the rivet feeding device 500 to obtain multiple rivets. After the rivet receiving device 300 obtains a preset number of rivets, the lifting module 202 drives the rivet receiving device 300 and the rivet placing device 400 to move toward the machine 100, so that the rivets enter the next installation process.

[0144] During operation, the lifting module 202 can drive the rivet receiving device 300 to accurately dock with the rivet feeding device 500 through the control of the host computer, thereby achieving rivet acquisition. At the same time, through the vertical movement function of the lifting module 202, the rivet receiving device 300 can quickly move to the installation position after acquiring the rivet, ensuring the smooth connection of the entire process. This design not only helps to improve the transmission efficiency of rivets, but also better ensures the accuracy and stability of rivets during the installation process, avoiding errors and delays caused by manual intervention.

[0145] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a riveting device for a new energy battery cover in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 for Figure 6 A partial enlarged view of point C in the middle.

[0146] In this embodiment, the riveting equipment for the new energy battery cover plate also includes:

[0147] The outer cover 110 is disposed on the machine platform 100 , and the support mechanism 200 , the support mechanism 200 , the rivet placing device 400 , and the rivet receiving device 300 are all located inside the outer cover 110 ;

[0148] The suspension member 112 includes at least one tension spring, one end of the tension spring is connected to a side of the outer cover 110 facing the machine platform 100 , and the other end of the tension spring is connected to the rivet receiving device 300 .

[0149] In this embodiment, the riveting equipment for the new energy battery cover further includes an outer cover 110 and a suspension member 112 to improve the overall safety of the equipment and the accuracy of operation.

[0150] Specifically, the outer cover 110 is mounted on the machine 100, and covers the support mechanism 200, the rivet placement device 400, and the rivet receiving device 300. The outer cover 110 mainly protects the core components inside the device and prevents the external environmental factors (such as dust and foreign matter) from affecting the device. It can also play a certain role in sound insulation and protection to ensure the safety of operators. The outer cover 110 is usually made of metal or engineering plastics to ensure strength and durability, and is provided with an observation window or opening at an appropriate position to facilitate maintenance and monitoring of the device.

[0151] The suspension member 112 includes at least one tension spring, one end of which is connected to the side of the outer cover 110 facing the machine 100, and the other end is connected to the rivet receiving device 300. The main function of the tension spring is to reduce the load of the first driving mechanism 312 in the process of driving the rivet receiving device 300 to move, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the equipment. Through the elastic effect of the tension spring, when the rivet receiving device 300 needs to be close to the rivet feeding device 500, the tension spring can provide additional auxiliary force to reduce the power output required by the first driving mechanism 312. This not only reduces the workload of the driving mechanism, but also prolongs its service life.

[0152] On the other hand, the use of the tension spring enables the first drive mechanism 312 to focus more on the precise positioning and movement of the rivet receiving device 300, thereby improving the operating accuracy of the entire device. When the rivet receiving device 300 moves to a specific position, the tension of the tension spring can effectively balance the weight of the device, making the positioning process more stable and reliable.
