The first connecting sleeve 112 is provided with internal threads 114 at both the top and bottom. The upper internal threads 114 mate with the bottom external threads of the push rod 103, while the lower internal threads 114 mate with the external threads of the second connecting sleeve 113. The bottom of the third connecting sleeve 113 is provided with a second step 115, which abuts the bottom of the first connecting sleeve 112. The inner wall of the third connecting sleeve 113 abuts the third shaft portion 122 of the first connecting rod 12.

[0045] The rivet assembly 13 includes a coil spring 130, a positioning sleeve 131, a ring 132 mounted on the positioning sleeve 131, a fixing sleeve 133, a second connecting rod 134, and a pull rod 136. The upper end of the coil spring 130 is engaged with the fourth shaft portion 123 of the first connecting rod 12, and the lower end is engaged with the upper portion of the second connecting rod 134. The second connecting rod 134 is mated with the fixing sleeve 133 and has a first through hole 138 in the middle.

[0048] The lead screw 103 passes through the first rotating shaft 152 and is in clearance fit with the first rotating shaft 152. When the lead screw 103 moves up and down, a pulling force is generated, which drives the entire transmission assembly 11 to move upward.

Identical second washers 270 are fixedly connected to each end of the springs 200. One set of second washers 270 abuts the bottom of the first connecting plate 202, while the other set abuts the top of the second connecting plate 203. The first connecting plate 202 defines a sixth through-hole 205, into which a second oil-free bushing 206 is fixedly mounted. The second connecting plate 203 defines a positioning hole 208. The upper end of the bolt 201 is slidably connected to the second oil-free bushing 206; the lower end of the bolt 201 is received in the positioning hole 208 and fixed to the second connecting plate 203.

[0056] The controller 4 is electrically connected to the third servo controller 421, which is electrically connected to the third driver 211 and controls its movement. The third driver 211 rotates the threaded rod 212, causing the threaded sleeve 215 to move up and down under the influence of the threaded rod 212, which in turn drives the load-fixing plate 23 up and down. During operation, the rivet gun 1 may collide, generating an upward force that can cause collision errors. This upward force drives the load-fixing plate 23 upward, which in turn drives the second connecting plate 203. The second connecting plate 203 drives the bolt 201 to slide within the oil-free bushing 206, reducing the distance between the first connecting plate 202 and the second connecting plate 203. The two sets of springs 200 are deformed under the force, generating a downward elastic force, which cancels out the upward and elastic forces.

[0057] The first sliding assembly 22 includes a slide rail 220 and a first slider 221 slidably connected to the slide rail 220. The slide rail 220 and the first slider 221 are symmetrically located on either side of the threaded rod 212.

The first cylinder 300 is relaxed to form the first groove 365, and the first cylinder 300 is clamped to form the second groove 366; the first groove 366 is coaxial with the second groove 367.

[0065] like Figure 14As shown, the feeding assembly 31 includes a hose 310, a clamping sleeve 311, a guide tube 312, and a fifth connecting plate 314 and a sixth connecting plate 315 that clamp the guide tube 312. The hose 310 is connected to an external feeder (not shown in the figure) and is used to transport the rivet nuts 35 to the feeding device 3. The clamping sleeve 311 is provided with multiple bayonet holes 313. The hose 310 passes through the clamping sleeve 311 and is fixed in the bayonet holes 313. The clamping sleeve 311 is connected to the guide tube 312. The guide tube 312 is located directly above the stepped hole 323 and is always kept vertically downward to prevent the rivet nut 35 from getting stuck. The fifth connecting plate 314 is fixedly connected to the second support plate 241 by screws; the fixing assembly 32 includes a second fixing plate 321, and the sixth connecting plate 315 is fixedly connected to the second fixing plate 321 by screws.

[0066] like Figure 15 As shown, the fixing assembly 32 further includes a first fixing plate 320 .

[0067] The second sliding assembly 33 includes a guide rail 330, a second slider 331, a third connecting plate 332 fixedly connected to the second slider 331, and a second cylinder 333. The guide rail 330 is fixedly connected to the first fixed plate 320, the second slider 331 is fixedly connected to and slides along the guide rail 330, and the third connecting plate 332 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 300. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second cylinder 333 is preferably a magnetically coupled rodless cylinder. The second cylinder 333 is fixedly connected to the first fixed plate 320 via screws and is parallel to the guide rail 330. A seventh connecting plate 334 is fixedly connected to the second cylinder 333 via screws. The third connecting plate 332 defines a receiving groove 336, and the seventh connecting plate 334 is provided with a second boss 337. The second boss 337 is received within the receiving groove 336, with a gap D between the sidewalls of the receiving groove 336 and the second boss 337, effectively preventing any jamming during movement.

[0068] The controller 4 is electrically connected to the second solenoid valve 432, the second solenoid valve 432 is electrically connected to the second cylinder 333 and controls the movement of the magnetic ring (not shown in the figure) of the second cylinder 333, the magnetic ring drives the second slider 331 to move, and the second slider 331 drives the nail cutting assembly 30 to translate along the guide rail 330.

[0069] During use, the feeder delivers the rivet nut 35 to the feeding device 3. The rivet nut 35 passes through the hose 310 and reaches the first groove 366 of the nail cutting assembly 30. The optical fiber unit 303 transmits a signal detecting the rivet nut 35 to the controller 4. The controller 4 controls the movement of the first cylinder 300 by controlling the first solenoid valve 431. The first groove 366 becomes the second groove 367, and the angle of the rivet nut 35 is fixed. After the first cylinder 300 moves to the desired position, the controller 4 controls the movement of the second cylinder 333 by controlling the second solenoid valve 432. The magnetic ring of the second cylinder 333 drives the second slide 331 to move along the guide rail 330. The second slide 331 drives the nail cutting assembly 30 to move directly below the rivet gun 1. Controller 4 controls the third actuator 211 by controlling the third servo controller 421. The threaded rod 212 converts rotary motion into linear motion. The threaded sleeve 215 drives the buffer assembly 20 in linear motion, which absorbs any collision errors during movement. Driven by the load-holding plate 23, the rivet gun 1 moves to the nail cutting assembly 30. The pull rod 136 extends into the rivet nut 35. Controller 4 controls the first actuator 150 by controlling the first servo controller 411, driving the pull rod 136 to rotate at high speed, tightening the rivet nut 35. The rivet gun 1 drives the rivet nut 35 into the hole to be drawn. Controller 4 controls the second actuator 160 by controlling the second servo controller 412, rotating the electric cylinder 14, converting rotary motion into linear motion. This drives the push rod 103 upward, generating a tensile force that causes the rivet nut 35 to collapse, completing the draw. Controller 4 controls the third servo controller 421 to reverse the third actuator 211, returning the rivet gun to its original position.

[0070] In this embodiment of the servo riveting mechanism, the feeder 3 moves the rivet nut 35 directly below the rivet gun 1. The buffer assembly 2 drives the rivet gun 1 downward toward the feeder 3. The first driver 150 then rotates the pull rod 136 at high speed, tightening the rivet nut 35. This allows for automatic rivet removal, saving time and improving work efficiency. The buffer assembly 20 absorbs any collision errors that may occur during the upward and downward movement of the rivet gun 1, improving riveting accuracy and extending the gun's service life.
