Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of maintenance of motor vehicle workshops, in particular to a rivet gun. Background Art

[0002] During the maintenance of the EMU end beam, it is often found that the rivets of the main transformer mounting beam fall off. The rivet falling off will reduce the fastening force of the mounting beam. If the rivets fall off and the fastening force is reduced, it will cause the risk of falling off when the EMU is vibrated during long-term high-speed operation. Due to the narrow position of the rivets, the existing general rivet gun cannot rivet them. There are currently three ways to deal with it. The first is to replace the rivets with bolts. The disadvantage is that the body structure is changed, and the shape and size are inconsistent with the original rivet, which is easy to cause the risk of TEDS misshooting; the second is to reverse the rivet riveting. The disadvantage is that the bottom rivet is easy to cause hitting and falling off, there is a risk of three plates falling off, and the shape is inconsistent with the original rivet head, which is easy to cause the risk of TEDS misshooting; the third is to replace the transformer mounting beam. This solution requires the disassembly of the mounting beam and the high-voltage connecting wire, which is a large workload, wastes a lot of time, and has high maintenance costs. In this regard, in order to fix the rivet falling failure of the main transformer mounting beam without changing the original vehicle structure, it is necessary to rivet in a small space, and it is urgent to manufacture and develop a special rivet gun.

Specific implementation manners

[0020] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model, that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0021] Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model provided in the accompanying drawings herein is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present utility model, but only represents the selected embodiments of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model. It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0022] Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "including a..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0023] According to the on-site operation situation, the following explanations are made from the following aspects:

[0024] 1. Replace rivets with bolts

[0025] According to the on-site situation, after the rivets fell off, M6 bolts were used to replace the rivets for installation. This method changes the original vehicle structure and is inconsistent with the original rivet connection method. There are two situations at the bottom: bolts and rivet round heads. During operation, it is easy to cause misjudgment by TEDS and stop the train. At the same time, when connecting the nuts, two people are required to apply torque and mark for preventing loosening on the way, which is more time-consuming in terms of fault handling efficiency.

[0026] 2. Rivet reverse riveting

[0027] According to the on-site situation, after the rivets fell off, reverse riveting was used for installation. This method changes the original vehicle connection process. There are two situations at the bottom: rivet bolts and rivet round heads. During operation, it is also easy to cause misjudgment by TEDS and stop the train. At the same time, the protruding distance of the rivet bolt head is relatively large, and it is extremely easy to be hit and cause the risk of falling off during operation.

[0028] 3. Disassemble the mounting beam and get off the vehicle for riveting

[0029] According to the on-site situation, if a traditional riveting gun is used to rivet the adapter plate, the following steps are required: ① Disassemble the mounting beam (4 mounting bolts for the wiring bracket, 8 bolts for the wiring hoisting bracket, and 4 hoisting bolts for the mounting beam need to be disassembled), ② Cut the wiring bracket of the mounting beam, ③ Use a riveting gun to rivet the adapter plate, ④ Weld the wiring bracket, ⑤ Load the mounting beam onto the vehicle, and the mounting beam, wiring bracket bolts, etc. need to be restored.

[0030] The fault handling process of using the method of getting off the vehicle for riveting is cumbersome and has the following major risks: First, the disassembly and installation of hoisting bolts increase the risk of anti-loosening; second, it is inevitable to touch the high-voltage large wires during the disassembly and assembly process, which will increase the fatigue strength of the large wires; third, cutting and welding operations are involved, increasing the risk of fire, and professional personnel are required for the operation; fourth, it increases the manpower and cost of fault handling. Disassembling and assembling the mounting beam requires more than 3 people compared with direct riveting. At the same time, spring washers, hoisting bolts, and special nuts need to be replaced.

[0031] 4. Replace the mounting beam

[0032] If the mounting beam is replaced, cutting and welding are not required. ① Disassemble the mounting beam (4 mounting bolts for the wiring bracket, 8 bolts for the wiring hoisting bracket, and 4 hoisting bolts for the mounting beam need to be disassembled). ② Load the mounting beam onto the vehicle, and the mounting beam, wiring bracket bolts, etc. need to be restored. The purchase price of the mounting beam is about 30,000 yuan. After using the special riveting tooling for the main transformer riveting, a large amount of cost will be reduced.

[0033] To sum up, for the fault of the rivets falling off from the main transformer mounting beam, without changing the original vehicle structure, riveting needs to be carried out in a narrow space, and it is urgent to develop a special riveting gun.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to facilitate on-site fault handling, reduce operation risks, minimize waste of human and material resources, and lower maintenance costs, the following has been specifically formulated:

[0035] Phase 1: Determine the direction:

[0036] According to the on-site situation, after the rivets of the main transformer installation fell off, they were affected by the wiring bracket and could not be directly and quickly re-riveted. How to conveniently and simply perform riveting on the vehicle without disassembling and cutting the vehicle was the original intention of designing the special riveting gun tooling for this design. Moreover, the designed tooling should be easy to use and not bring additional learning costs to the operators.

[0037] 2. Phase 2: Measure the dimensions and draw the graphics:

[0038] Design drawing of the special riveting gun tooling for the main transformer installation beam: The on-site measurement shows that the distance from the bracket to the bottom rivet is relatively small (actually 7 cm on-site). Therefore, the length of the riveting gun head plus the riveting gun cannot be too long (not exceeding 7 cm, while traditional riveting guns are all longer than 7 cm). So, only the method of using a riveting gun adapter can be considered for riveting.

[0039] 3. Phase 3: Conduct on-site docking of the sample and optimize the design plan

[0040] Report the "riveting gun" improved according to the design to the workshop for material requisition and bidding. During the docking process with the supplier, it was found that the dimensions of each part of the tooling were reasonable, the riveting quality of the riveting gun was reliable, the operation of the operators was convenient, and it could quickly rivet the fallen-off rivets of the main transformer installation beam.

[0041] 4. Phase 4: Conduct full-scale on-site trial use. After the special riveting gun tooling for the main transformer arrived at the site, on-site verification was carried out

[0042] The external dimensions of the tooling are reasonable, and it can quickly rivet the main transformer installation beam and the bottom plate. Through trial use, it was found that the special riveting gun tooling for the main transformer installation beam is convenient to use. It can not only rivet the rivets in good condition in a narrow space, but also be used as an ordinary riveting gun in other places. At the same time, this tooling has the advantages of being convenient to pick up and not occupying too much space for storage.

[0043] Furthermore, as Figures 1 to 2As shown in the figure, the designed rivet gun includes a rivet gun connection part 1. The output end of the rivet gun connection part 1 is installed and connected with a riveting gun head set 2. A connection set 3 is installed and connected on the riveting gun head set 2. The riveting gun head set 2 and the rivet gun connection part 1 are detachably connected through the connection set 3. The connection set 3 includes a coupling sleeve 31, an outer sleeve 32 and a screw cap 33. The coupling sleeve 31 is movably sleeved on the riveting gun head set 2 and is detachably connected to one end of the riveting gun head set 2 close to the rivet gun connection part 1. An outer sleeve 32 is arranged at one end of the coupling sleeve 31 away from the rivet gun connection part 1. The outer sleeve 32 is sleeved on the riveting gun head set 2 and is detachably connected to the coupling sleeve 31. A screw cap 33 is arranged at one end of the outer sleeve 32 away from the coupling sleeve 31. The screw cap 33 is movably sleeved on the riveting gun head set 2. The riveting gun head set 2 of this rivet gun includes a fixed sleeve 21, a connecting shaft 22 and a claw sleeve assembly 23. One end of the fixed sleeve 21 close to the rivet gun connection part 1 is connected to the rivet gun connection part 1. One end of the fixed sleeve 21 away from the rivet gun connection part 1 is connected to the connecting shaft 22. A claw sleeve assembly 23 is detachably installed and connected to one end of the connecting shaft 22 away from the fixed sleeve 21. In the embodiment, the fixed sleeve 21 and the coupling sleeve 31 are detachably connected by threads. The outer sleeve 32 is movably sleeved on the claw sleeve assembly 23 and one end of the outer sleeve 32 close to the fixed sleeve 21 is sleeved in the hollow cavity of the coupling sleeve 31. The screw cap 33 is sleeved on the outer sleeve 32 and the outer sleeve 32 and the coupling sleeve 31 are detachably connected by threads through the screw cap 33. For the rivet gun improved by such design, when in use, by holding the bottom end of the rivet gun connection part 1 where a handle part is installed and connected, starting the switch 41 installed and connected on the handle part, and being powered by the battery in the battery pack 44 installed at one end of the handle part away from the rivet gun connection part 1, and then starting to control the current "rivet gun control structure" inside the rivet gun connection part 1, the rivets in the rivet gun are "fired" through the arranged riveting gun head set 2 to fix the place that needs to be fixed. The residues after the rivets are fired in the rivet gun are conveyed to the rivet collecting part 13 installed and connected at one end of the rivet gun connection part 1 away from the riveting gun head set 2 through the existing control structure inside the rivet gun connection part 1 for unified collection, and then removed and uniformly processed when not in use.

[0044] Furthermore, in the embodiment, when it is necessary to replace the riveting gun head set 2 with different shape and size according to the requirements on site, at this time, loosen the connection set 3 used to connect the riveting gun head set 2 and the rivet gun connection part 1, that is, rotate the cap 33 to remove the cap 33 from the outer sleeve 32, then rotate the outer sleeve 32 to remove the outer sleeve 32 from the coupling sleeve 31, and then rotate the coupling sleeve 31 to separate the coupling sleeve 31 from the fixed sleeve 21, exposing the connecting shaft 22 and the claw sleeve assembly 23. Remove the claw sleeve assembly 23 from the connecting shaft 22 and replace it with a claw sleeve assembly 23 of different shape and size to meet the requirements for the maintenance of the end beam of the EMU. During the use of this rivet gun, an indicator light 42 is provided on the side of the handle part of the rivet gun away from the rivet gun connection part 1 to indicate whether the rivet gun is powered on normally; at the same time, a battery self-locking button 43 is also provided on the side of the handle part away from the rivet gun connection part 1 to facilitate the replacement of the battery in the battery pack 44 and to place the battery in the battery pack 44 properly to power on the rivet gun; in addition, a hook 11 is installed and connected to the top of the rivet gun connection part 1 to facilitate hanging the rivet gun in a suitable position; also, a fault light 12 is installed and set at the top of the end of the rivet gun connection part 1 away from the riveting gun head set 2 to indicate whether the rivet gun is used normally.
