[0002] Flaring and riveting means that during the riveting process, part of the material of the riveting part undergoes plastic deformation under the action of external force, forming a tight fit with the base material, thereby realizing the reliable connection of two parts. In the manufacturing process of heat exchangers, the riveting between the top plate and the water pipe is an important process. Traditional riveting methods usually adopt manual operation, with a set of tools for each product, resulting in low efficiency, high cost and difficult to guarantee accuracy.
