The structure is simple, compact and convenient to operate.
[0023] Specific embodiment two: combined Figure 1 The embodiment is described, and the embodiment is different from the specific embodiment one in that the embodiment further comprises a PLC controller, the PLC controller is electrically connected with the first servo motor 1, the second servo motor 2, the third servo motor 3, the first screw guide rail 4, the second screw guide rail 5, the third screw guide rail 6, the first electric riveting punch 9, the second electric riveting punch 10 and the base 11.

[0024] Specific embodiment three: combined Figure 1 The embodiment is described, and the embodiment is different from the specific embodiment one in that the bearing seat is rotatably connected to the upper part of the base 11. The rotation position of the two half retainer rings is adjusted through the bearing seat. First, the displacement amount of the electric riveting punch is calculated according to the width of the retainer ring and the length of the rivet, the displacement amount and the displacement speed are input to the PLC controller, and the parameters such as the electrification time, the electrification current and the horizontal position of the base are adjusted.
[0025] Furthermore, the mounted bearing is placed on the bearing housing, which can move horizontally and rotate. Pressing the start button causes the bearing housing to move the bearing to the riveting position.
