The guide driving member 7 is installed on the inner ring plate 42121 and is used to drive the outer ring plate 42122 to move up and down.

[0069] Taking the case of taking out a plurality of rivets b from the plurality of positioning holes 211, the inner ring plate 42121 is driven to move downward, driving the outer ring plate 42122 to move downward. When each of the nuts 4222 connected to the inner ring plate 42121 abuts against the upper end surface of the first boss 212, the guide driving member 7 drives the outer ring plate 42122 to move downward, so that each of the nuts 4222 connected to the outer ring plate 42122 abuts against the upper end surface of the second boss 213, thereby enabling the plurality of rivets b corresponding to the inner ring and the outer ring to be taken out at the same time, improving work efficiency. Similarly, when it is necessary to put a plurality of rivets b into the plurality of mounting holes a1 one-to-one, the outer ring plate 42122 is first driven by the guide driving member 7 to move downward until it is flush with the inner ring plate 42121, so as to avoid affecting the disengagement of the subsequent plurality of rivets b.

Thus, the movable frame 41 can be driven to extend in the front-rear direction, and the operation is stable and the carrying capacity is strong.

[0072] More specifically, in the embodiment, the movable plate 411 is located on the upper side of the first connecting plate 4211 and the second connecting plate 4212. In order to enable the first connecting plate 4211 and the second connecting plate 4212 to be movably connected to the movable member in the up-down direction, in the embodiment, the first connecting plate 4211 and the second connecting plate 4212 are movably connected to the movable member in the up-down direction by means of the first connecting rod 4121 and the second connecting rod 4122. Figures 5 to 7 The taking-and-placing structure 42 further comprises a second driving member 43 and a third driving member 44. The second driving member 43 is arranged on the upper end surface of the movable plate 411 and is drivingly connected to the adapter plate 4213, so as to drive the adapter plate 4213 to move up and down, thereby driving the second connecting plate 4212 to move up and down. The third driving member 44 is arranged on the lower end of the adapter plate 4213 and is drivingly connected to the first connecting plate 4211, so as to drive the first connecting plate 4211 to move up and down. In this way, the arrangement is compact, the volume is small, and the space occupation is saved.

[0073] It should be noted that the first driving member 83, the second driving member 43, the third driving member 44 and the guide driving member 7 are all arranged as air cylinders.

[0074] In the embodiment, the friction-plate rivet automatic assembling mechanism further comprises a drag chain 9, one end of the drag chain 9 being connected to the rack 1 and the other end being connected to the movable rack 41. The drag chain 9 is used to bind the wire harness, facilitates the movement of the wire harness, and can also limit the movement stroke of the movable rack 41 in the front-rear direction.
