[0026] As Figure 1-6As shown in the figure, a cup body riveting device for a temperature limiter includes a positioning plate 1 fixed on a workbench, that is, a positioning hole for fixing the positioning plate 1 is dug on the surface of the workbench; a fixing block 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning plate 1, and a placing plate 3 and a clamping block 4 are arranged above the fixing block 2. A baffle 27 is fixedly connected to the edge of the top of the placing plate 3 for limiting the temperature sensing cover 29; there are four clamping blocks 4 and they are evenly distributed in a circumferential manner around the placing plate 3. A first spring 5 is fixedly connected between the placing plate 3 and the fixing block 2, so that after the external force acting on the placing plate 3 disappears, the placing plate 3 can return to its initial position; a second spring 6 is fixedly connected between the clamping block 4 and the fixing block 2, so that after the external force acting on the clamping block 4 disappears, the clamping block 4 can return to its initial position; a pressing plate 7 is placed on the top of the clamping block 4, a circular convex platform 8 is arranged at the bottom of the pressing plate 7, and a clamping head 9 is arranged on one side of the clamping block 4 close to the placing plate 3 for pushing the flanging of the temperature sensing cover 29 to bend inward; the side of the clamping block 4 away from the placing plate 3 at the top is an arc structure matched with the convex platform 8. When the convex platform 8 presses down, while the convex platform 8 pushes the clamping block 4 to press down, the convex platform 8 will slide on the arc structure of the clamping block 4, and then push the clamping head 9 to move towards the temperature sensing cover 29; a gap is left between two adjacent clamping blocks 4, and a through hole 10 aligned with the placing plate 3 is arranged on the pressing plate 7, which is convenient for placing the temperature sensing cover 29 and the cup body 28 on the placing plate 3; a driving mechanism for driving the pressing plate 7 to press down is arranged on the positioning plate 1.

[0027] A sliding groove 11 is arranged at the top of the fixing block 2, and a sliding rod 12 slidably matched with the sliding groove 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placing plate 3, which restricts the moving direction of the placing plate 3, so that the placing plate 3 can only move up and down, improving the riveting quality of the temperature sensing cover 29 and the cup body 28 in the subsequent process; the first spring 5 is sleeved outside the sliding rod 12, and a protective shell 13 covering the fixing block 2 is arranged at the top of the fixing block 2, which plays a role in protecting the components; the protective shell 13 is connected to the positioning plate 1 by screws 14, which is convenient for disassembly to maintain the components; a surrounding plate 15 is fixedly connected to the four weeks of the bottom of the pressing plate 7, and the inner wall of the surrounding plate 15 is in clearance fit with the outer wall of the protective shell 13.

[0028] The driving mechanism includes a cylinder. The cylinder is located below the positioning plate 1. The piston rod 16 of the cylinder is aligned with the bottom of the positioning plate 1.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] As Figure 2 and 6 shown, when the cup riveting device is in use, the worker places the pre-assembled temperature sensing cover 29 and the cup body 28 on the top of the placing plate 3 from bottom to top respectively. Then, one hand presses the cup body 28 from top to bottom. The placing plate 3 will descend to a suitable position and stop. Then, the trigger cylinder is actuated by a single point. The piston rod 16 of the cylinder extends. Since the positioning plate 1 is fixed, after the piston rod 16 abuts against the bottom of the positioning plate 1, it will push the cylinder block 21 in the direction away from the positioning plate 1 in reverse. The cylinder block 21 will drive the pressing plate 7 to press down through the guiding rod 20. While the boss 8 on the pressing plate 7 pushes the clamping block 4 to press down, the boss 8 will slide on the arc-shaped structure of the clamping block 4, and then push the chuck 9 in the direction close to the temperature sensing cover 29. The chuck 9 will contact the flange of the temperature sensing cover 29 and push the flange of the temperature sensing cover 29 to bend inward, completing the riveting operation of the cup body 28 and the temperature sensing cover 29, preventing the occurrence of hand injury accidents and improving production safety.
