[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, this utility model provides a technical solution: a wire rope joint riveting device, comprising: a pusher platform 1, which is connected to the device frame via a slide rail; a component opening on the pusher platform 1 for placing a mandrel containing a wire rope; a support portion 204 on the pusher platform 1 for placing a joint threaded onto the wire rope; a cylinder A5 for adjusting the forward and backward movement of the pusher platform 1; a cylinder C203 for further adjusting the position of the pusher platform 1; and a positioning head 4 and a combined cylinder. The cylinder is composed of two linear motion cylinders moving in different directions. The combined cylinder is used for adjusting the lifting position and horizontal movement of the positioning head 4. The positioning head 4 is provided with a groove that matches the connector. The combined cylinder moves the positioning head 4 to the location of the connector, so that the connector is placed in the groove of the positioning head 4, and the groove restricts the movement of the connector. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp and fix the connector. The straightening mechanism is used to adjust the position of the wire rope so that the connector is at the end of the wire rope. The riveting head 3 is used to rivet the connector on the wire rope.

[0026] In use, the product consists of a mandrel, a wire rope, and a connector. Part of the wire rope is threaded through the mandrel, and the connector is threaded through the wire rope outside the mandrel. The operator places the mandrel into the opening of the pusher table 1 and the connector into the support portion 204. The pusher table 1 is moved towards the clamping mechanism using cylinder A5, so that the wire rope with the connector in the support portion 204 is positioned above the clamping mechanism. The combined cylinder moves the positioning head 4 to the location of the connector, placing the connector within the groove of the positioning head 4. Cylinder C203 applies a thrust to the pusher table 1, with the thrust of cylinder C203 being greater than that of cylinder A5. Upon receiving the force, the pusher table 1 moves towards its initial position, i.e., away from the clamping mechanism. The support part 204 is removed from above the clamping mechanism, while the joint position remains unchanged. The wire rope with the joint is still above the clamping mechanism. At this time, the positioning head 4 is reset, and then the clamping mechanism clamps the joint. The straightening mechanism applies force to the wire rope on the clamping mechanism, causing the wire rope and the pusher 1 to continue moving away from the clamping mechanism. After being pushed into place, the joint is at the end of the wire rope. The correction and adjustment of the joint position is completed. The riveting head 3 is adapted to the joint size. The riveting machine applies force to the joint below to rivet the joint to the end of the wire rope. Then the riveting head 3 is reset, the clamping mechanism and the straightening mechanism are reset, the pusher 1 is reset, and the riveted product is manually removed.

[0027] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes two clamping parts 201, two cylinders B202, and a worktable 2. The two cylinders B202 are located on both sides of the worktable 2, and are respectively connected to the corresponding clamping parts 201. The surface of the worktable 2 is provided with component grooves, and the two clamping parts 201 are symmetrically and movably arranged in the component grooves. The two clamping parts 201 can be adjusted to move in the component grooves in a direction closer to each other or in a direction further apart by the two cylinders B202.

[0028] In use, the wire rope with the joint is fed between the two clamping parts 201 by the pusher 1. The clamping parts 201 are moved toward each other by the two cylinders B202 to clamp and fix the joint. When clamped and fixed, the position of the wire rope can be easily moved by the straightening mechanism so that the joint is adjusted to the end of the wire rope. After the adjustment is completed, the joint is still in the clamped and fixed state, which makes it convenient to continue the riveting operation. The fixing effect on the joint can be released by moving the clamping parts 201 away from each other by the two cylinders B202.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the straightening mechanism includes a straightening head 6 and a cylinder D205. The straightening head 6 is adapted to the size of the connector. The cylinder D205 controls the extension and retraction of the straightening head 6 to adjust the position of the wire rope.

[0030] In use, after the connector is fixed by the two clamping parts 201, the straightening head 6 extends and moves towards the location of the wire rope with the connector between the two clamping parts 201, applying force to the end of the wire rope, causing the wire rope to move towards the direction of the pusher 1. During the adjustment of the wire rope position, the connector is always fixed by the clamping parts 201 and its position remains unchanged until the cylinder D205 adjusts the straightening head 6 to push it into place. At this point, the position adjustment of the connector on the wire rope is completed, and the connector is at the end of the wire rope. With the help of the riveting head 3, the connector is riveted to the end of the wire rope.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
