[0043] The rivet assembly 13 includes a helical spring 130, a positioning sleeve 131, a ring 132 fitted on the positioning sleeve 131, a fixing sleeve 133, a second connecting rod 134, and a pull rod 136. The upper end of the helical spring 130 engages with the fourth shaft portion 123 of the first connecting rod 12, and the lower end engages with the upper part of the second connecting rod 134. The second connecting rod 134 mates with the fixing sleeve 133 and has a first through hole 138 in its center. The two ends of the first through hole 138 are semi-circular, and the center is rectangular. A positioning pin 135 is slidably installed within the first through hole 138.

[0046] The lead screw 103 passes through the first rotating shaft 152 and is clearance-fitted with the first rotating shaft 152. When the lead screw 103 moves up and down, it generates tension, which drives the entire transmission assembly 11 to move upward.

Identical second washers 270 are fixedly connected to both ends of each spring 200. One set of second washers 270 abuts against the bottom of the first connecting plate 202, and the other set abuts against the top of the second connecting plate 203. A sixth through hole 205 is provided on the first connecting plate 202, and a second oil-free bushing 206 is fixedly connected within the sixth through hole 205.

The third driver 211 is fixedly connected to the second reducer 216 via a flat key; the second reducer 216 is fixedly connected to the first support plate 240 via screws, and the output shaft of the second reducer 216 passes through a third through hole 242 and is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 212 via a coupling.
[0052] Two sets of springs 200 and bolts 201 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the threaded rod 212; the first connecting plate 202 and the second connecting plate 203 are both provided with a fifth through hole 204, and the threaded rod 212 is sleeved in the fifth through hole 204 of the first connecting plate 202 and the second connecting plate 203; the first threaded seat 213 and the second threaded seat 214 are both fixedly connected to the first support plate 240 by screws; the threaded sleeve 215 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 202 by screws.

[0054] Controller 4 is electrically connected to the third servo controller 421, which in turn is electrically connected to and controls the movement of the third driver 211. The third driver 211 drives the threaded rod 212 to rotate, causing the threaded sleeve 215 to move up and down under the influence of the threaded rod 212, and also causing the load fixing plate 23 to move up and down. During operation, the rivet gun 1 experiences an impact, generating an upward force that causes collision errors. This upward force causes the load fixing plate 23 to move upward, which in turn causes the second connecting plate 203 to move. The second connecting plate 203 causes 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. This causes the two sets of springs 200 to deform under stress, generating a downward elastic force. The upward force and the elastic force cancel each other out.
[0055] 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 distributed on both sides of the threaded rod 212.

[0066] 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.
[0067] In 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 rivet cutting assembly 30. The fiber optic unit 303 transmits the signal of detecting the rivet nut 35 to the controller 4. The controller 4 controls the first cylinder 300 to move 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 its position, the controller 4 controls the second cylinder 333 to move by controlling the second solenoid valve 432. The magnetic ring of the second cylinder 333 drives the second slider 331 to move along the guide rail 330. The second slider 331 moves the rivet cutting assembly 30 to directly below the rivet gun 1. The controller 4 controls the rotation of the third driver 211 by controlling the third servo controller 421. The threaded rod 212 converts the rotary motion into linear motion. The threaded sleeve 215 drives the buffer assembly 20 to perform linear motion. The buffer assembly 20 absorbs the collision error generated during the motion. The load fixing plate 23 drives the rivet gun 1 to move to the rivet cutting assembly 30. The pull rod 136 extends into the rivet nut 35. The controller 4 controls the rotation of the first driver 150 by controlling the first servo controller 411, which drives the pull rod 136 to rotate at high speed, locking the rivet nut 35. The rivet gun 1 drives the rivet nut 35 to move into the rivet hole. The controller 4 controls the rotation of the second driver 160 by controlling the second servo controller 412. The electric cylinder 14 converts the rotary motion into linear motion, which drives the push rod 103 to rise and generate pulling force. The pulling force causes the rivet nut 35 to collapse, completing the riveting. The controller 4 controls the third driver 211 to reverse by controlling the third servo controller 421, and the rivet gun returns to its original position.
[0068] The servo riveting mechanism provided in this embodiment moves the rivet nut 35 directly below the rivet gun 1 via the feeding device 3. The buffer device 2 drives the rivet gun 1 downward to the feeding device 3. The first driver 150 drives the pull rod 136 to rotate at high speed to lock the rivet nut 35, achieving automatic rivet removal, saving time and improving work efficiency. During the up-and-down movement of the rivet gun 1, collision errors will occur. The buffer component 20 absorbs these errors, improving riveting accuracy and extending the service life of the rivet gun.
