In the production process, the material first enters the vibrating feeding device 3 through the conveying device 2, and then the material is fed upwards and neatly arranged and conveyed to the front end of the clamping device 7 through the principle of vibrating feeding. The clamping device 7 controls the output and prohibition of the material output, and the output material is fed one by one into the feeding device 5. Then, the material is guided out through the guiding device 6 to the lower end of the riveting device 8. Finally, the fixing device 10 fixes and receives the material and feeds it into the hole of the riveting workpiece. On the working platform of the riveting platform 11, under the action of the hydraulic device 9, the material is pressed into the workpiece through the riveting device 8, completing the feeding and riveting process. The feeding is smooth, fast and accurate, and the processing quality is good.

[0037] The feeding device 5 is foldable and retractable to change size, and the guiding device 6 is replaceable to meet the feeding and guiding needs of materials of different sizes.

The material fixing device 10 consists of a robotic arm 10-1, a robotic claw 10-2, a movable joint 10-3, and a monitor 10-4. The monitor 10-4 is mainly used to monitor whether the material is accurately fed into the workpiece. If it is, the processing continues; otherwise, the next workpiece is fed and the previous workpiece falls into the collection box. If unqualified material is encountered, it will also be identified and fall into the collection box, ensuring the perfection of the subsequent processing, providing the rigor and accuracy of the work, and accurately performing automatic feeding. This not only improves the stability of feeding, but also further ensures the processing quality and efficiency, resulting in good riveting effect and excellent product quality.

[0038] This utility model automates the feeding, unloading, guiding, and receiving of materials for riveting, reducing the tedious manual feeding operations. It features a high degree of automation, safer production, better processing quality, ensures product quality, and improves work efficiency.
