Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aircraft riveting and assembly, specifically relating to a closed-angle area core-pulling riveting device. Background Technology

[0002] During the riveting and assembly of various aircraft components, blind rivets are used extensively as standard parts for connecting the main fuselage structure, especially in closed-angle areas and composite material skin areas. The main tool for installing blind rivets is a blind rivet gun, which works by using a hydraulic mechanism to drive airflow and pull out the "core" of the blind rivet through a pull head. In the process of pulling out the "core", the blind rivet forms a upset head.

[0003] Traditional core-pulling heads are powered by a hydraulic mechanism, which makes core-pulling rivet guns generally heavy and inconvenient to carry. They are often difficult to operate in "closed-angle" areas and are also inconvenient to carry during troubleshooting at aircraft factories. Furthermore, due to the hydraulic transmission, the hydraulic oil needs to be changed regularly, making the maintenance process relatively complicated. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the problems of traditional hydraulic blind rivet guns, such as their generally heavy weight, inconvenience in carrying, extreme difficulty in operation in "closed-angle" areas, low product installation quality, difficulty in taking out-of-house troubleshooting equipment, and the need for regular hydraulic oil changes, resulting in complex and costly maintenance. It proposes a blind rivet riveting device for closed-angle areas, replacing the traditional hydraulic blind rivet gun. This device can be connected to a pneumatic drill and cleverly utilizes the tensile force transmission during the blind rivet riveting process through threaded engagement.

[0005] This utility model proposes a closed-angle area core-pulling riveting device, which includes a core-pulling housing, a screw and a sleeve connected in sequence from front to back. A core-pulling head is installed in the core-pulling housing. The screw has a shaft hole, and a drive shaft with external threads passes through the sleeve and the screw and enters the core-pulling housing to provide core-pulling force to the core-pulling head.

[0006] Advantageously, the core-pulling housing has a lead screw nut, the front end of which is fixedly connected to the core-pulling head, and the threaded hole at the rear end is threadedly connected to the drive shaft.

[0007] Advantageously, a coaxial positioning head and a slidable conical head are mounted on the core-pulling housing, and the top of the core-pulling head has an annular hole that fits onto the conical head.

[0008] Advantageously, the conical head is pressed against the annular hole by the action of the spring.

[0009] Advantageously, the sliding direction of the conical head is parallel to the drive shaft.

[0010] Advantageously, the screw includes a head and a threaded shank, and a locking nut is also mounted on the outside of the screw.

[0011] Advantageously, the drive shaft is mounted in a sleeve via bearings.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model has good usability and applicability, simple structure, and convenient use. It can be operated quickly by a single person, greatly improving human-machine efficiency and production efficiency. The installation cycle is shortened from the original 2.5 days to 0.5 days, which can improve work efficiency by 8%.

[0014] 2. Effectively improves the operational efficiency and installation quality of the closed-angle area of ​​the product. The pass rate of the blind rivets installed using this solution has been increased from 75% to over 95%, which can reduce the scrap rate, rework rate and riveting difficulty in the closed-angle area caused by poor installation quality, and at the same time avoid damage to aircraft parts during the installation process.

[0015] 3. Improve the ease of troubleshooting at external factories and reduce riveting manpower, time costs, and tool maintenance costs.

[0016] The features, functionalities, and advantages already discussed can be implemented independently in various examples, or combined in other examples. Further details of the examples can be seen in the following description and accompanying figures. Attached Figure Description
