Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to power battery top cover assembly field, specifically, relate to a square top cover new riveting structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] Riveting technology as an important connection process is widely used in the assembly process of various products. Riveting top cover as one of the common riveting applications, its main role is to connect the top cover and other components firmly together through riveting, to ensure the overall structure and functional integrity of the product.

[0003] In the traditional riveting top cover assembly and riveting process, positive and negative riveting block assemblies are usually used to realize the connection of the top cover and other components. These riveting block assemblies are formed during the injection molding process and have a certain thinness and flexibility. In the riveting process, the riveting block assembly is pressed into the reserved hole of the top cover and other components by applying external force, thereby realizing the connection. This process meets the needs of product assembly to some extent, with the advantages of simple operation and low cost.

[0004] However, with the continuous development of manufacturing industry, the quality and performance requirements of products are also increasing. The traditional riveting process has been difficult to meet the needs of modern manufacturing industry in some aspects.

[0005] Riveting block assembly skew: due to the thinness of positive and negative riveting block assemblies and the bending of parts during the injection molding process, the upper riveting block assembly is prone to skew during riveting. This skew not only affects the appearance quality of the product, but more importantly, it leads to unsatisfactory symmetry, thereby affecting the overall performance and reliability of the product.

[0006] Crushing problem: when the riveting block assembly is skewed, continuing to apply external force for riveting will cause crushing of the upper riveting block assembly. This crushing not only reduces the strength and service life of the riveting block assembly, but also may cause other potential quality problems.

[0007] Low efficiency: the traditional riveting process needs manual adjustment and correction several times during riveting to ensure the correct position of the riveting block assembly. This not only increases the operation difficulty and time cost, but also reduces the production efficiency.

[0008] Cost increase: due to the quality problems prone to occur during riveting, the scrap rate and rework rate increase, which not only increases the production cost, but also affects the economic benefit and market competitiveness of the enterprise.
