[0017] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, the terms describing the position relationship in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as a limitation on this patent. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0019] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for hot-melt press-fitting a nut, comprising the following steps: Step 1, placing a press-fit seat 1 made of plastic on a working plane. Specifically, the material of the press-fit seat 1 is PETP, PEEK, or PTFE; Step 2: Use a heating device to heat the nut 2, and then press the heated nut 2 into the press-fit seat 1. The heating temperature is 80-380°C, and the nut 2 is made of metal; Step 3: After the nut 2 is pressed into the press-fit seat 1, the nut 2 with the press-fit seat 1 is inserted into the fixing tool 3 for fixing, and the press-fitting is completed after the whole is cooled.
[0020] The nut 2 heat-melts the press-fit seat 1, and then is put on the fixed tooling 3 for cooling. It is suitable for parts with small quantity and irregular shape, with low investment cost, short cycle and quick effect.
[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the nut 2 includes a main body 201, a head end 202 arranged at the upper end of the main body 201, and a tail end 203 arranged at the lower end of the main body 201. The outer diameter of the head end 202 is D, and the outer diameter of the tail end 203 is d.
[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the press-fitting seat 1 includes a press-fitting base plate 101, a press-fitting sleeve 102 fixedly arranged on the upper side of the press-fitting base plate 101, and the press-fitting sleeve 102 is provided with a first inner hole 1021 and a second inner hole 1022 in sequence from top to bottom, the diameter of the first inner hole 1021 is C, the diameter of the second inner hole 1022 is C1, the depth of the first inner hole 1021 is H1, the depth of the second inner hole 1022 is H2, the wall thickness of the first inner hole is W, C>C1, d=C1, this size can enhance the tensile strength of the nut 2 after hot-melt pressing, W≥2.0mm, if W is too small, the press-fitting sleeve 102 will be damaged during the press-fitting process and cannot be press-fitted.
[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the fixing tool 3 includes a fixing base 301, a fixing column 302 arranged at the upper end of the fixing base 301 for sleeve-mounting the nut 2, and a glue overflow groove 3011 is arranged at the upper end of the fixing base 301. After hot melting, the press-fitting seat 1 will produce glue overflow, and the overflow glue enters the glue overflow groove 3011 to prevent the overflow glue from affecting the size of the press-fitting sleeve 102 after cooling.
[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a limiting step 303 is provided on the upper end of the fixed base 301, and the limiting step 303 is coaxially arranged with the fixed column 302. The outer diameter of the limiting step 303 is D3, D1<D3<D, and the nut 2 after hot melting is put on the fixed column 302. Since D3<D, the limiting step 303 and the nut 2 are abutted, and the upper end surface of the nut 2 after hot melting is 0.1mm-0.2mm lower than the upper end surface of the press-fitting sleeve 102. After the plastic is melted, it is similar to an elastomer, which causes the nut 2 to rebound after being pressed in, resulting in inaccurate press-fitting. The function of the limiting step 303 is to keep the nut 2 in a fixed position after being pressed in until solidification, so as to avoid inaccurate press-fitting position of the nut 2 due to rebound. The height of the limiting step is H, 0.1mm<H<0.2mm.
[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the outer diameter of the fixing column 302 is D4, D4<D1<D3, and D4 is smaller than D1 to facilitate the nut 2 to be put on the fixing column 302.
[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the distance between the upper end of the head end 202 and the tail end 203 is L1, and the distance between the head end 202 and the lower side of the main body 201 is L2, H1=L2, so that the first inner hole 1021 accommodates the head end 202 and the main body 201.
[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, 0.8mm≥DC≥0.6mm, 3mm≥H2-L1≥2.0mm, D should be larger than C so that it can better bond with the press-fitting sleeve 102 during hot-melt press-fitting, but it should not be larger than 0.8mm, otherwise the nut 2 cannot be completely pressed into the press-fitting sleeve 102, and residual material will be formed after hot-melt. It is prevented that the residual material overflows into the hole of the fixed nut 2 and causes thread interference.
[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the first convex ring 204 and the second convex ring 205 are arranged at intervals on the outer peripheral side of the main body 201, and the first guide ring 206 and the second guide ring 207 are arranged on the outer peripheral side of the tail end portion 203. The first guide ring 206 and the second guide ring 207 play a guiding role when the nut 2 is pressed in, and the first convex ring 204 and the second convex ring 205 play a reinforcing role after being pressed in to prevent the nut 2 from falling off from the press-fitting sleeve 102.
[0029] The outer circumference of the first convex ring 204 and the second convex ring 205 is provided with anti-skid patterns, so that the bonding effect is better after press-fitting, and the nut 2 is not easy to fall off.
[0030] The above embodiments are merely descriptions for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not limitations on the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications may be made based on the above descriptions. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation methods here, and the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
