AI Technical Summary
The rivets required for body connection of existing new energy vehicles have a variety of specifications, resulting in complex production processes, frequent misuse and rework, and the diameter of the existing rivets is limited, which cannot meet customer design requirements.
A cup-shaped outer lock core pulling rivet is designed, which passes through the cup-shaped counterhole in the center of the nail core cap and the cup-shaped counterhole in the center of the nail core cylinder. After riveting, the cup body is deformed and lengthened to adapt to different sheet metal thicknesses; at the same time, the outer diameter of the nail core cylinder is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the rivet casing. During the riveting process, the rivet casing deforms, pushes the connected part close to it, the nail core rod breaks, and the nail core cylinder is locked to enhance tensile and shear resistance.
A specification of rivets can adapt to riveting of multiple sheet metal thicknesses, reducing the problem of various specifications, reducing production costs and inventory backlogs, and enhancing the mechanical properties of riveting.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fasteners, in particular to a cup-shaped external locking core-pulling rivet for connecting a body of a new energy vehicle. Background Art
[0002] At present, the connection of new energy vehicle body parts usually requires two or more rivets of different specifications to complete the riveting of different thicknesses due to the different sheet metal thicknesses of various parts. Therefore, in order to prevent product misuse, it is usually necessary to make different color identification on the product surface to distinguish product specifications. Moreover, there are many product specifications, which requires an increase in the number of production changes, making the production process more difficult to control, resulting in product inventory backlogs and affecting production progress. In addition, since the connection rivets of the body parts have high requirements for mechanical strength, similar products currently have only two diameters of φ4.8 and φ6.4, which cannot meet customer design requirements. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a cup-shaped external locking core-pulling rivet for connecting the body of new energy vehicles, which has a wide riveting range and can complete the riveting of various sheet metal thicknesses at the same work station with one specification.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: a cup-shaped external locking core-pulling rivet for connecting the body of a new energy vehicle, comprising a core cap, a core tube is fixedly installed below the core cap, a core rod is connected below the core tube, a rivet body sleeve is arranged outside the core rod, a flange is connected below the rivet body sleeve, a cup-shaped countersunk hole is arranged in the center of the core cap and the core tube, the outer diameter of the core tube is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the rivet body sleeve, a fracture portion is arranged on the core rod, and an annular pattern is arranged below the fracture portion.
[0005] Furthermore, the center points of the nail core cap, the nail core tube, the nail core rod and the rivet body sleeve are all located on the same straight line.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the nail core cap is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the nail core tube, and the outer diameter of the nail core tube is smaller than the outer diameter of the rivet body sleeve.
[0007] Furthermore, a guide surface which narrows toward the center is provided between the nail core tube and the nail core rod to guide the nail core tube into the rivet body sleeve.
[0008] Furthermore, an annular bevel is provided on the inner wall of the flange. During the riveting process, the riveting tool gun head and the fractured portion are cut to form an annular flange. The annular bevel cooperates with the annular flange to prevent the core rod from loosening or falling off.
[0009] Furthermore, the riveting range of the rivet is 3.0 to 14.5 mm.
[0010] The external locking cup rivet for new energy vehicles of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] 1. A cup-shaped countersunk hole is opened in the center of the nail core cap and the nail core tube. After riveting, the cup body is deformed and stretched, and the riveting range is wide, covering various sheet metal thicknesses. One specification can meet the various sheet metal thicknesses at the same workstation, eliminating the use of multiple rivets to cause misuse, rework and uncontrollable costs, reducing the number of machine changes for each production machine, accelerating production progress, and reducing product inventory and process control costs;
[0012] 2. The outer diameter of the nail core tube is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the rivet body sleeve. Under the action of pulling the riveter, the rivet body sleeve is deformed and its diameter increases, pushing the connected parts close together, the nail core rod breaks, and the nail core tube is locked in the rivet body, which enhances the tensile and shear resistance of the riveted connection.
[0013] 3. An annular flange with a toothed cross section is set at the fracture of the nail core rod. After riveting is completed, the annular flange cooperates with the annular inclined surface of the inner wall of the flange, and the nail core tube is locked in the rivet body to prevent the nail core rod from loosening or falling off, thereby achieving waterproof and shock-resistant effects.
