Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-temperature alloy diffusion welding, and in particular to a riveting fixture for a space curved surface composite material outer cover component and a riveting method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The composite outer cover and titanium alloy inner shell of a certain spatial curved outer cover component are riveted by countersunk rivets, and the countersunk rivet end is not allowed to protrude from the outer cover wall. Due to the difficulty in preparing and processing the composite outer cover, there are uneven wall thickness and profile deformation, and the titanium alloy inner shell also has profile deformation. When the component structure is riveted, the composite outer cover and the titanium alloy inner shell have poor profile fit. At the same time, due to the spatial curved surface deformation of the composite outer cover and the profile of the riveting fixture, there is a gap between the abutting profile of the riveting fixture after the rivet is assembled, causing the rivet head to protrude from the wall. In addition, there is a gap between the composite outer cover and the titanium alloy inner shell, which seriously affects the riveting quality and efficiency. In actual production, the riveting assembly gap needs to be adjusted by the gasket method for each riveting. Usually, 2-3 workers cooperate in the operation, one person installs the adjustment gasket, one person adjusts the position of the workpiece, or one person installs the fixture strip. The workers have high labor intensity and low efficiency, which is not suitable for factory batch riveting production. Summary of the invention
