Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of riveting devices, in particular to a riveting device for loose and captive screws. Background Art

[0002] Captive screws are riveted to the mounting plate by flipping, and are suitable for various structures such as mounting parts in narrow spaces, plug-in panels, chassis panels, etc. At present, the industry usually adopts manual knocking to perform flip riveting. The main method is: use a pad to pad the front of the mounting plate, so that the rivet of the captive screw passes through the flip rivet hole of the mounting plate, and the spring of the captive screw shrinks due to the gravity of the mounting plate. Visually observe that the limit step of the rivet of the captive screw is close to the front of the mounting plate and remains vertical. Use one hand to use the head of the punch to vertically press against the flip rivet end of the captive screw riveted part, and use the other hand to take a hammer to hit the tail of the punch several times until the flip rivet end of the captive screw riveted part is flipped open at a 90° angle and close to the flip rivet countersunk hole surface of the mounting plate. This assembly method mainly has the following three problems: 1) The height of the captive screw rivet is affected by its own processing accuracy and spring contraction. When riveting, it is impossible to ensure that the limit step of the captive screw rivet is close to the front of the mounting plate and remains vertical, which may easily cause the captive screw to tilt or hang in the air; 2) The manual knocking force cannot be guaranteed to be vertically downward and the force cannot be controlled and is uneven, which may easily cause the captive screw to be not loosened enough or deformed due to excessive pressure; 3) When knocking manually, it is impossible to ensure that the punch is concentric with the captive screw, which may easily cause damage to the thread of the captive screw. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a captive screw riveting device, which replaces the manual knocking method for riveting and completely solves the problems of captive screws tilting, hanging, loosening, deformation and screw thread damage.
