[0066] In this embodiment, the oil supply switching pipelines of the upper oil inlet and outlet holes 505 and the lower oil inlet and outlet holes 606 are connected to an external hydraulic oil source.

[0067] In this embodiment, the oil supply switching pipeline is a prior art, and the oil supply switching pipeline is used to guide the high-pressure hydraulic oil output by the external hydraulic oil source so that the high-pressure hydraulic oil is delivered to the upper inlet and outlet oil holes 505 or the lower inlet and outlet oil holes 606.

[0068] When the high-pressure hydraulic oil output by the external hydraulic oil source enters the upper oil inlet and outlet holes 505, the lower oil inlet and outlet holes 606 perform oil discharge operations; at this time, the high-pressure hydraulic oil in the upper oil inlet and outlet holes 505 enters the oil cylinder chamber 201 above the oil piston body 301 through the upper connecting hole 506, the upper annular groove 504 and the upper oil chamber. At this time, the high-pressure hydraulic oil acts on the top of the oil piston body 301 and pushes the oil piston body 301 to drive the hydraulic rod 3 to move downward. The hydraulic oil in the oil cylinder chamber 201 below the oil piston body 301 is discharged through the lower oil inlet and outlet holes 606, so that the oil piston body 301 and the hydraulic rod 3 can move downward smoothly.

[0069] When the high-pressure hydraulic oil output by the external hydraulic oil source enters the lower oil inlet and outlet holes 606, the upper oil inlet and outlet holes 505 perform oil discharge operations; at this time, the high-pressure hydraulic oil in the lower oil inlet and outlet holes 606 enters the oil cylinder chamber 201 below the oil piston body 301 through the lower connecting hole 608, the lower annular groove 607 and the lower oil chamber. At this time, the high-pressure hydraulic oil acts on the bottom of the oil piston body 301 and pushes the oil piston body 301 to drive the hydraulic rod 3 to move upward. The hydraulic oil in the oil cylinder chamber 201 located above the oil piston body 301 is discharged through the upper oil inlet and outlet holes 505, so that the oil piston body 301 and the hydraulic rod 3 can move upward smoothly.

[0070] In this embodiment, the riveting device 4 includes a pulling head cylinder 401, the upper end of which is fixedly mounted on the lower connecting section 601 of the lower oil delivery plug 6 by means of a threaded connection, and a conical cylinder 403 is slidably mounted inside the pulling head cylinder 401, and a movable cylinder 402 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the conical cylinder 403.

[0071] The lower end of the hydraulic rod 3 extends into the pulling head cylinder 401 and is fixedly connected to the movable cylinder 402 by means of a threaded connection. A conical hole is provided in the middle of the conical cylinder 403. Two symmetrically arranged inclined jaws 404 are slidably installed inside the conical hole. A top joint 405 is provided above the inclined jaws 404 in the conical cylinder 403. The lower end of the top joint 405 and the upper end surface of the inclined jaws 404 are respectively provided with matching inclined surfaces.

[0072] A central hole is formed in the middle of the top joint 405, and a nail suction tube 406 is fixedly installed in the central hole.

[0073] A nail suction hole 302 is coaxially opened in the middle of the hydraulic rod 3 , and the upper and lower ends of the nail suction hole 302 respectively penetrate the upper and lower end surfaces of the hydraulic rod 3 , and the upper end of the nail suction tube 406 extends into the nail suction hole 302 for a distance.

[0074] In this embodiment, a top spring (not shown in the figure) is installed between the lower end of the hydraulic rod 3 and the top joint 405. The top spring is sleeved on the nail suction tube 406. The top spring outputs elastic force to push the top joint 405 downward. The top joint 405 moves downward and the two inclined jaws 404 are separated by the cooperation of the inclined surface to open the clamping channel.

[0075] A nail hole is provided on the lower end surface of the pull head cylinder 401, and a boss 407 is integrally connected to the inner end surface of the pull head cylinder 401 near the nail hole. The upper end surface of the boss 407 and the lower end surface of the two inclined clamping jaws 404 are respectively provided with matching inclined surfaces.

[0076] In this embodiment, the upper end of the nail suction hole 302 is connected to an external vacuum nail suction device through a connecting pipe. When the vacuum nail suction device works, negative pressure suction is generated in the nail suction hole 302 and the nail suction tube 406, and the negative pressure suction is used to suck away the nail tail of the rivet.

[0077] In the initial state, the top joint 405 moves downward under the thrust of the top spring, and the lower end surface of the inclined second clamping jaw 404 is in contact with the boss 407. At this time, the top joint 405 moves downward, and the two clamping jaws in the inclined second clamping jaw 404 are opened through the cooperation of the matching inclined surface and the cooperation of the matching inclined surface between the inclined second clamping jaw 404 and the boss 407; then the nail tail of the rivet is inserted into the middle part of the inclined second clamping jaw 404 through the nail hole on the lower end surface of the pull head cylinder 401. When the hydraulic rod 3 moves upward, the hydraulic rod 3 The movable cylinder 402 and the conical cylinder 403 are driven to move upward synchronously. At this time, when the conical cylinder 403 moves upward, the inner surface of the conical hole squeezes the two inclined jaws 404, so that the two inclined jaws 404 are retracted to clamp the nail tail of the rivet. The hydraulic rod 3 drives the conical cylinder 403 to continue moving, driving the two inclined jaws 404 to further press the nail tail of the rivet and pull the nail tail upward. The nail tail is sucked into and discharged from the rivet gun body through the nail suction tube 406 of the external vacuum nail suction device to complete the riveting process and enter the next working cycle.

[0078] In this embodiment, the rivet gun head can be installed on the working end of the automobile riveting robot. The automobile riveting robot is used to drive the rivet gun head to move in multiple directions to adjust the position of the rivet gun head. When high-pressure gas is introduced into the upper air inlet and outlet 105 or the lower air inlet and outlet 106 on the cylinder body 1, the high-pressure gas enters the cylinder cavity 101 and drives the cylinder sleeve rod 2 to move upward or downward. At this time, the cylinder sleeve rod 2 drives the rivet device 4 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the rivet device 4 or lifting the gun.

[0079] When high-pressure hydraulic oil is introduced into the upper oil inlet and outlet holes 505 on the upper oil supply plug 5 or the lower oil inlet and outlet holes 606 on the lower oil supply plug 6, the high-pressure hydraulic oil enters the oil cylinder cavity 201 to drive the hydraulic rod 3 to move upward or downward. The upward movement of the hydraulic rod 3 drives the riveting device 4 to perform the riveting operation; the downward movement of the hydraulic rod 3 drives the riveting device 4 to perform the resetting operation, which is convenient for use.
