[0025] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 7 In the embodiment of the numerically controlled riveting machine for sheet metal processing of the present utility model shown in the figure, the numerically controlled riveting machine for sheet metal processing includes a sliding seat 1, a lifting seat 2 and a base 3. The sliding seat 1 can slide horizontally along the track 3a on the base 3. The lifting seat 2 is arranged at the upper end of the sliding seat 1 and can vertically lift relative to the sliding seat 1. At one end of the track 3a on the base 3, a riveting bottom column 31 is fixedly arranged. At the upper end of the riveting bottom column 31, a riveting cylinder 33 (or a riveting oil cylinder) is provided for cooperating with the riveting bottom column 31 to perform a riveting operation on the sheet metal part.

[0027] A rotation fixing assembly 4 is arranged on the lifting seat 2. The rotation fixing assembly 4 includes a vertically arranged rotating shaft 41 and a fixing member 42. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 41 is connected with a motor 43. The fixing member 42 is fixedly arranged at the top end of the rotating shaft 41. The fixing member 42 is used to fix the sheet metal part. The fixing member 42 can adopt various solutions such as bolts passing through the sheet metal part, or a mold that can be nested into the sheet metal part, or an electromagnet block that is energized to adsorb the sheet metal part, etc. When the sliding seat 1 slides to the end of the track 3a where the riveting bottom column 31 is arranged, the fixing member 42 abuts against the riveting bottom column 31. When the lifting seat 2 abuts against the sliding seat 1, the top end of the fixing member 42 is flush with the top end of the riveting bottom column 31.

[0028] The working process of the present utility model is generally as follows: After the sheet metal part is fixed by the rotary fixing component 4, the sliding seat 1 drives the sheet metal part to approach or move away from the riveting bottom column 31 to a suitable position. The motor 43 drives the fixing part 42 to rotate through the rotating shaft 41, and thus drives the sheet metal part to rotate to a suitable angle. When the positions and angles of the sliding seat 1 and the rotary fixing component 4 are both suitable, one of the through holes on the sheet metal part will be coaxial with the riveting bottom column 31, and a single riveting operation can be completed. Subsequently, the position of the sliding seat 1 is adjusted again and the angle of the rotary fixing component 4 is adjusted to perform the riveting operation on the next through hole on the sheet metal part. At the same time, before the position transformation, the lifting seat 2 is lifted to avoid the riveting bottom column 31 interfering with the sheet metal part and damaging the sheet metal part when the sliding seat 1 and the rotary fixing component 4 change the position of the sheet metal part. After changing to a suitable position, the lifting seat 2 falls back to make the top of the sheet metal part flush with the top of the riveting bottom column 31, which is convenient for continuing the riveting operation.

[0029] The device can complete the riveting operation on the sheet metal part by using a single-layer slide rail, with a simple structure, avoiding the complex structure of using a double-layer slide rail, making the volume of the riveting machine compact, and at the same time achieving the purpose of accurate feeding.

[0030] Of course, this device can not only be used in a single-station riveting machine as shown in Figure 1 but also be applicable to a double-station riveting machine, without any restrictions on the type of riveting machine.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, preferably, a lead screw 32 is provided in the track 3a. The lead screw 32 is connected to a driving motor (not shown in the figure). The lead screw 32 passes through the slider 11 on the sliding seat 1. When the lead screw 32 rotates, it drives the sliding seat 1 to slide, so that the sliding seat 1 can slide horizontally along the track 3a on the base 3.

[0032] The motor 43 of the rotary fixing component 4 and the driving motor connected to the lead screw 32 can adopt servo motors to make the changes in the position and angle of the sheet metal part accurate.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, the lifting seat 2 is arranged at the upper end of the sliding seat 1 and can be vertically lifted relative to the sliding seat 1. Specifically, a lifting cylinder 12 is fixedly penetrated through the middle part of the sliding seat 1, and the output shaft of the lifting cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end surface of the lifting seat 2. The top end surface of the lifting cylinder 12 is flush with the upper surface of the sliding seat 1 or lower than the upper surface of the sliding seat 1 to avoid interfering with the lifting seat 2 and preventing the lifting seat 2 and the sliding seat 1 from coming into contact; guiding columns 13 are fixedly arranged around the sliding seat 1, and the guiding columns 13 penetrate through the lifting seat 2. The guiding columns 13 adopt retractable multi-stage telescopic columns, and the top ends of the guiding columns 13 are fixedly connected to the lifting seat 2; after the lifting cylinder 12 lifts the lifting seat 2 against the resilience of the guiding columns 13 and after the position and angle of the sheet metal part change, the guiding columns 13 can quickly rebound the lifting seat 2 to facilitate the riveting operation.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, preferably, a motor slot 1a for avoiding the motor 43 is arranged on the sliding seat 1. The motor 43 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the lifting seat 2, and the output end of the motor 43 faces upward. Therefore, the tail end of the motor 43 extends downward from the lower surface of the lifting seat 2, and there is only a relative vertical displacement between the sliding seat 1 and the lifting seat 2. Therefore, the motor slot 1a can effectively prevent the sliding seat 1 from interfering with the motor 43 when the lifting seat 2 is lifted or lowered.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, preferably, an avoidance slot 3b for avoiding the lifting cylinder 12 and the motor 43 is arranged on the base 3; since the output end of the lifting cylinder 12 faces upward and the lifting cylinder 12 is fixedly penetrated through the sliding seat 1, a part of the tail end of the lifting cylinder 12 extends downward from the lower surface of the sliding seat 1, and the motor 43 may also extend out of the sliding seat 1. Therefore, by arranging the avoidance slot 3b parallel to the track 3a on the base 3, it can effectively prevent the base 3 from interfering with the lifting cylinder 12 and the motor 43 when the sliding seat 1 slides along the track 3a.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, preferably, two tracks 3a are arranged, and the tracks 3a are arranged on both sides of the avoidance slot 3b; since the lifting cylinder 12 is located in the middle of the sliding seat 1, the slider 11 needs to be arranged on both sides of the lifting cylinder 12. If a single track 3a and a single slider 11 are arranged, it may cause uneven force when the sliding seat 1 slides and affect the displacement accuracy. Therefore, by arranging two tracks 3a and two sliders 11, the above problems can be effectively avoided; at the same time, the driving motor and the two lead screws 32 can be connected by means of a chain or a belt to ensure the synchronization of the rotation of the two lead screws 32.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, preferably, the rotation fixing component 4 further includes a bearing sleeve 44. The bearing sleeve 44 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the lifting seat 2. The bearing sleeve 44 is sleeved on the side wall of the rotating shaft 41. The bearing sleeve 44 can prevent the rotating shaft 41 from becoming out-of-round when driven by the motor 43, so as to ensure the accuracy when adjusting the angle of the sheet metal part.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, preferably, the fixing member 42 is an electromagnetic block. The top surface of the electromagnetic block can effectively adsorb the magnetic sheet metal part when powered on.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, preferably, the rotation fixing component 4 further includes a metal clamping block 45. The metal clamping block 45 cooperates with the electromagnetic block and can effectively clamp and fix the magnetic or non-magnetic sheet metal part when the electromagnetic block is powered on.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, preferably, the fixing member 42 is cylindrical, and the rotating shaft 41 and the fixing member 42 are coaxially arranged; thus, when the fixing member 42 abuts against the riveting bottom column 31, the fixing member 42 is tangent to the riveting bottom column 31, and the riveting bottom column 31 will not interfere with the rotation of the fixing member 42. At the same time, the distance between the fixing member 42 and the riveting bottom column 31 is also the closest, so as to maximize the riveting area on the sheet metal part fixed by the fixing member 42.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
