[0038] The present application is described in detail below with reference to embodiments, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.
[0039] The utility model provides a cold extrusion strengthening device, comprising:
[0040] The nose cap 3 has a hollow area at one end and a first through hole at the other end.
[0041] A mandrel 1, one end of which passes through the first through hole, and the other end of which is disposed inside the nose cap 3;
[0042] A mandrel base 6, one end of which is threadedly connected to the mandrel 1, and the other end of which is a hollow sleeve structure in which a gun pulling piston rod 11 is arranged, and the gun pulling piston rod 11 is threadedly connected to the mandrel base 6;
[0043] The gun casing 12 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the opening end of the hollow area of the nose cap 3, the gun casing 12 is a hollow sleeve, and the gun piston rod 11 is arranged inside the gun casing 12;
[0044] One end of the gun piston rod 11 is threadedly connected to the inside of the hollow structure of the core rod base 6, and the other end is slidably connected to the inside of the gun housing 12.
[0045] A spring 5, one end of which is connected to the multi-slot bushing 2, and the other end of which is connected to the mandrel base 6, and the mandrel 1 passes through the spring 5;
[0046] A guide sleeve 4 is arranged inside the nose cap 3, and the mandrel 1 passes through the guide sleeve 4. One end of the guide sleeve 4 away from the nose cap 3 is threadedly connected to the mandrel base 6. The guide sleeve 4 has a sleeve with a hollow area;
[0047] A multi-slot bushing 2, one end of which is arranged inside the guide sleeve 4, and the other end extends to the outside of the first through hole, and the mandrel 1 is inserted into the multi-slot bushing 2, and the maximum outer cylindrical surface on the right side of the multi-slot bushing 2 is gap-matched with the hollow inner cylindrical surface of the guide sleeve 4, and the multi-slot bushing 2 can slide left and right when subjected to an elastic force to the right greater than that of the spring 5;
[0048] The multi-slot bushing 2 is a hollow sleeve, one end of which is provided with a plurality of longitudinally evenly distributed long groove cylindrical structures. In this embodiment, there are four long grooves. Theoretically, the number of the long grooves can be a natural number from 1 to n, which is evenly distributed within a range of 360°. The cross-section of the groove is symmetrical to the central plane passing through the axis and is rectangular or fan-shaped.
[0049] The multi-slot bushing 2 includes a rear cone section 20, a working section 21, a front cone section 22 and a guide section 23 which are arranged in sequence. The cone angle of the rear cone section 20 is γ, and the range of γ is 10° to 20°. The working section 21 is a hollow cylinder. The end of the guide section 23 away from the front cone section 22 abuts against the spring 5. The cone angle of the front cone section 22 is β, and the range of β is 1.5° to 5°.
[0050] The cone angle γ of the rear cone section 20 is the guide angle when the multi-slot bushing 2 is inserted into the cold extrusion hole φd3 of the earless support plate self-locking nut. The working section 21 is an outer cylindrical surface with a diameter of Φd. The front cone section 22 is a cone angle β, which is used to provide a guide angle for cold extrusion strengthening of the mandrel 1. The guide section 23 is an outer cylindrical surface to ensure that the multi-slot bushing 2 can slide left and right during cold extrusion strengthening. The right side of the guide section 23 has a smaller outer diameter as a shaft shoulder, which acts as a spring seat.
[0051] The core rod 1 is a slender shaft with a thin middle end and thick two ends. The end of the core rod 1 away from the nose cap 3 has a thread pair, and the thread pair is connected to the core rod base 6. The other end is an outer cylindrical support section 15 with a diameter of Φd0. The outer cylindrical support section 15 is used to support the multi-slot bushing 2.
[0052] The right end of the outer cylindrical support section 15 is a guide cone 14 with a cone angle of α, which is used to guide the core rod 1 to enter and open the multi-slot bushing 2 during cold extrusion strengthening.

[0055] The end of the structural plate 7 away from the nose cap 3 is also provided with an earless support plate self-locking nut 13, one end of which is inserted into the second through hole of the structural plate 7.
[0056] It is worth noting that the maximum outer diameter on the right side of the multi-slot bushing 2 is the guide section 23, and the compression spring 5 is located between the multi-slot bushing 2 and the core rod base 6. When the axial resultant force of the rightward external force F1 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 5, the multi-slot bushing 2 begins to slide to the right in the guide sleeve 4, and the head of the multi-slot bushing 2 begins to shrink radially from the diameter φd to the diameter φd2, φd2 = φd1 × (0.85 ~ 0.92), and the diameter φd2 is slightly smaller than the cold extrusion hole diameter φd3 of the earless support plate self-locking nut. The left end face of the nose cap 3 is close to the right surface of the structure 7 and remains motionless. Start the pulling gun, the pulling gun piston rod 11 moves to the right, and the core rod 1 also starts to move to the right. The multi-slot bushing 2 remains in its original position under the elastic force of the spring 5, and the pulling gun piston rod 11 continues to move to the right. The core rod 1 stretches the multi-slot bushing 2 to restore its diameter to φd, and the core rod 1 drives the multi-slot bushing 2 to move to the right together and pass through the cold extrusion hole at the same time, and the extrusion process ends.
[0057] The implementation method in this embodiment is divided into two major steps: cold extrusion assembly and riveting.
[0058] Step 1: Cold extrusion assembly
[0059] 1)Reference Figure 1 As shown, the cold extrusion device is in the initial state, and the head of the multi-slot bushing 2 is stretched open by the support section φd0 of the mandrel 1 under the action of the spring force 5, and its head diameter is the maximum value φd;
[0060] 2) Manually insert the earless support plate self-locking nut 8 into the hole of the structural plate 7, and then move the cold extrusion device to the left as a whole, so that the head of the multi-slot bushing 2 is close to the edge of the cold extrusion hole φd3 of the earless support plate self-locking nut 8, and the cone surface of the rear cone section 20 of the multi-slot bushing 2 is subjected to the rightward external force F1. When the combined external force F1 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 5, the spring begins to compress and the multi-slot bushing 2 begins to contract radially (refer to Figure 6 Continue to push the cold extrusion device to the left as a whole until the cone angle of the rear cone section 20 of the multi-slit bushing 2 is against the self-locking nut 8 of the earless support plate, the force is F2, and the left end face of the nose cap 3 is in close contact with the right surface of the structural plate 7 (reference Figure 7 );
[0061] 3) Press the gun start switch and keep it still. The gun piston rod 11 drives the core rod 1 to move to the right. The core rod 1 starts to open the multi-slit bushing 2 at a certain moment (refer to Figure 8 As shown), until the cold extrusion hole φd3 (reference Fig. 9 As shown), the cold extrusion installation process is completed;
[0062] 4) Remove the cold extrusion device, and the first step of cold extrusion of the self-locking nut 13 without ear support is completed (reference Fig.10 shown).
[0063] Step 2: Riveting process
[0064] Use a rivet gun to complete the rivet assembly. The implementation method is as follows:
[0065] 1)Reference Fig.11 As shown, manually insert the rivet screw 10 of the pulling gun from the nut head and push it forward slightly so that its thread is pressed against the threaded hole of the earless support plate self-locking nut 8. At this time, the rivet screw 10 is automatically screwed in. When the limit ring 9 fits the end surface of the structural plate 7, release the external force.
[0066] 2)Reference Fig.12 As shown, the pulling gun is started, the rivet screw 10 moves to the right and starts to pull the rivet to form a bulge;
[0067] 3)Reference Fig.13 As shown, after the riveting is completed, press and hold the rivet gun button B and pull the rivet screw 10 to flip over.
[0068] Remove from nut.
