[0002] At present, during the assembly process of aircraft engines, it is necessary to rivet the various parts of the outer cover assembly together with rivets. The outer cover assembly is large in size and irregular in shape, and it requires two people to lift it together. In addition, there are many parts that need to be riveted, and the relative position relationship between the parts is also very high. Commonly used riveting machines are first limited in space, and secondly, the shape of the pad is fixed and cannot meet the surface requirements of each part. Therefore, riveting cannot be performed on a conventional riveting machine. Therefore, designing a high-efficiency riveting fixture with a positioning function to ensure simple, flexible and labor-saving operation has become the key to solving the problem.

[0006] The angle adjustment mechanism includes: an angle seat 2, a rivet rod 3, a latch pin 4, and a hexagonal head bolt 5;

[0007] The lower die 1 is installed on the angle seat 2 by means of hexagonal bolts 13, latches 5 and cylindrical pins 4; Riveting positioning seat mechanism: lower die 1: fits with the profile of the outer cover assembly to play a positioning role, rivet rod 3: used for manual riveting guide column 6: guides the pressure strip and the lower die to ensure the relative position relationship between the pressure strip one 7, pressure strip two 8, pressure strip three 9, pressure strip four 10, pressure strip five 11, hexagon socket head screws 12 lock the pressure strip and the lower die 1 to clamp the parts.

[0008] Adjustable angle mechanism: A series of holes for inserting pins are set on the angle seat 2 according to calculations, and corresponding holes are set on the lower die 1 corresponding to the holes of the angle seat. The lower die 1 is connected to the angle seat 2 through a cylindrical pin 4. The cylindrical pin 4 acts as a rotating shaft. The hexagonal head bolt 5 is used to lock the angle seat 2.

[0009] In order to correctly rivet the various parts of the outer cover assembly together, the following technical problems must be solved when setting up the device:

[0010] Meet the pad shape requirements of each riveting point;

[0011] There are many places where the outer cover assembly needs to be riveted, and the outer cover assembly itself has an irregular surface, and the pad iron profile required under each rivet is also different.

[0013] On the basis of setting the lower die at the bottom, a pressure strip is set at the top, and the pressure strip profile is completely in line with the profile of the part to be riveted. A guide column is set between the lower die and the pressure strip to guide and ensure the positional relationship between the upper and lower mechanisms. The lower die is provided with a threaded hole, and the upper pressure strip is provided with a countersunk hole. The lower die and the upper pressure strip are fixed by screws. This ensures that the parts do not shift.

[0014] The parts to be riveted are widely distributed and have large angle differences. How to ensure the quality of riveting and meet the force direction of all angles?

[0015] On the upper pressure bar, a guide hole for the riveting rod is set along the riveting direction to ensure the direction of the force during riveting. In addition, by setting an adjustable angle seat, the angle of the entire mechanism can be freely adjusted, and the operator can adjust it to a suitable angle as needed.
