[0015] Specifically, the riveting machine includes a frame 1 and a rivet head 2, which is fastened by screws and can be raised and lowered;

[0016] Specifically, the edge expansion tooling includes a main body 7, an outer cover 3, an expansion head 5, a pin 6 and a spring 8. The main body 7 is fixed to the riveting machine through a base 9. The top of the main body 7 is integrally formed with a positioning seat that can be sleeved with a connector. The positioning seat includes a first positioning seat, a second positioning seat, and a third positioning seat that are coaxially arranged from top to bottom. The diameters of the first positioning seat, the second positioning seat, and the third positioning seat increase in sequence to form a multi-step structure that can accurately position the plug-in connector. The expansion head 5 is a cylindrical structure. The expansion head 5 is coaxially sleeved outside the positioning seat and fixed to the positioning seat. The top of the main body 7 has a step that can support the expansion head 5. A lock is provided on one side of the main body 7. Tightening groove 4-1, the expanding head 5 is detachably connected to the locking groove 4-1 by a screw 4, the outer diameter of the expanding head 5 is the same as the outer diameter of the main body 7, and there is a gap between the inner cavity of the expanding head 5 and the positioning seat. The outer wall of the top of the expanding head 5 has a conical guide groove with a diameter gradually increasing from top to bottom. The outer cover 3 is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the expanding head 5, and the bottom end of the outer cover 3 is elastically connected to the main body 7 through a spring 8. Guide grooves 6-1 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the outer cover 3, and the pin 6 is fixed in the main body 7 and parallel to the horizontal plane.
