Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of riveting technology, and more specifically to a servo-driven riveting electric spindle. Background Technology

[0002] Riveting, as a special joining technology, currently mainly includes pneumatic riveting and hydraulic riveting. However, with the continuous development of market demand, servo riveting has emerged. But the current structure has significant limitations, severely restricting its application. The main disadvantages of existing servo riveting are: During the riveting process, the force output by the servo motor and the point where the workpiece receives the riveting force are not on the same center, which means that the servo motor needs to be selected with a large power and the lead screw of the transmission component needs to be increased in size; see prior patents CN222725395U an improved riveting machine and CN222710736U a riveting mechanism.

[0003] Traditional servo riveting structures cannot be installed on promising robots and space-constrained equipment because the force is not concentrated at the center point, resulting in frequent replacement of vulnerable parts, high production downtime and maintenance costs, and affecting riveting quality.

[0009] Furthermore, an outer sleeve is provided on the outside of the small-diameter cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the riveting assembly includes an eccentric bushing, an eccentric gear shaft, a gear ring, a semi-circular copper sleeve, a collet sleeve, a rivet head, and a safety cover. The gear ring and the semi-circular copper sleeve are fixed inside the main shaft sleeve, the safety cover is fixed at the front end of the main shaft sleeve, and the semi-circular copper sleeve is located on the outside. The rear end of the eccentric bushing is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft so that the connecting shaft drives the eccentric bushing to rotate.

[0018] Specifically, as an optional embodiment in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The spindle sleeve 2 comprises T-shaped sleeve 21, the spin rivet assembly 3 and the connecting shaft 7 are located in the T-shaped sleeve 21; round sleeve 22, the front end of which is bolted with the rear end of the T-shaped sleeve 21, and the servo motor 5 is arranged in the round sleeve 22; sleeve cover 23, which is arranged at the rear end of the round sleeve 22, and the sleeve cover 23 is connected with the lead screw motor 4.

[0019] Specifically, the front end of the servo motor 5 is bolted with the rear end of the T-shaped sleeve 21.

[0020] The cap 23 and the sleeve 22 are fastened together by multiple bolts.

[0021] During operation, when the lead screw motor 4 drives the main shaft sleeve 2 to move back and forth, the entire cylindrical sleeve 22 slides against the inner wall of the front cavity, making the movement of the entire main shaft sleeve 2 more stable.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lead screw motor 4 is a hole-type lead screw motor 4.

[0023] Specifically, as an optional implementation in this embodiment, a pressure sensor (not shown in the figure) is provided between the lead screw motor 4 and the main shaft sleeve 2.

[0024] The pressure sensor can detect the force applied by the riveting assembly 3 during riveting, ensuring the quality of the riveting.

[0025] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer shell 1 includes a large-diameter cylindrical body 11, a small-diameter cylindrical body 12, and an inner guide cylinder 13; The main shaft sleeve 2 is located inside the small-diameter cylinder 12, the lead screw motor 4 is located inside the large-diameter cylinder 11, and the inner guide cylinder 13 is located at the front end inside the small-diameter cylinder 12.

At the same time, the gear part cooperates with gear ring 33 to realize the rotation of eccentric gear shaft 32. Eccentric gear shaft 32 and chuck sleeve 35 are connected by universal bearing, thereby driving eccentric gear shaft 32 to drive chuck sleeve 35 and riveting head 36 to rotate. Since chuck sleeve 35 and semi-circular copper sleeve 34 are spherically connected, they rotate around the center origin of semi-circular copper sleeve 34, and cooperate to drive riveting head 36 to rotate in a plum blossom trajectory.

[0031] Working process of the servo riveting electric spindle of this invention: The lead screw motor 4 drives the riveting assembly 3 to move back and forth via the main shaft sleeve 2, while the servo motor 5 drives the riveting head 36 of the riveting assembly 3 to perform the riveting action.
