[0013] Preferably, the top anvil sleeve has different specifications, so that different specifications of rivets can be quickly adapted by replacing top anvil sleeves of different specifications.

[0014] Preferably, the base is made of 45 steel.

[0015] Preferably, the center locking screw, the top anvil locking nut, the support plate nut and the rivet are standard parts, and the structure plate is a self-component of a satellite main structure.

[0016] Preferably, the side of the top anvil sleeve in contact with the rivet is a plane.
