[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] See Figure 1 This embodiment provides a riveting assembly device, including a workbench with two riveting stations. A vibratory feeder 10 is provided on one side of the workbench. The vibratory feeder 10 has two discharge channels to provide nuts to the two riveting stations respectively. A secondary positioning component 11 is provided at the end of each of the two discharge channels to perform secondary positioning on the discharged nuts for accurate gripping.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the secondary positioning component 11 includes a positioning cylinder 111. A positioning plate 112 is provided at the output end of the positioning cylinder 111. A positioning groove 113 adapted to the shape of the nut is provided on the positioning plate 112. The positioning groove can be moved to the discharge end of the vibratory feeder. The positioning groove 113 is a slot opened inward along the side wall of the positioning plate, and a support boss 114 is formed at its upper end to support the nut and prevent it from falling off. A baffle 115 is provided on the side adjacent to the positioning plate to block the positioning groove during the movement of the positioning plate. The moving position of the positioning plate is determined by positioning sensors provided at both ends of the positioning plate.

[0027] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 Each riveting station is equipped with a positioning device 12 for fixing parts. The positioning device 12 includes a vertically arranged fixing plate 121. Both sides of the fixing plate 121 are mounting end faces to simultaneously position two sets of parts. Each mounting end face is provided with a first positioning post 122. Since the parts in this embodiment are relatively long and the riveting position is on the side wall near one end of the part, the first positioning post 122 is used to support one end of the part. A second positioning post 13 is provided on the side of the fixing plate, and the second positioning post 123 is used to support the other end of the part.

[0028] The size and shape of the first positioning post 122 and the second positioning post 123 are determined according to the size and shape of the inner hole of the part. Generally speaking, the basic positioning needs can be met by supporting and positioning the two ends of the part. If necessary, positioning posts can be set at the corresponding positions on the fixing plate for support according to the shape characteristics of the part itself.

[0029] To move the part to the riveting position, the positioning device 12 also includes a servo motor 124. The output end of the servo motor 124 is connected to a moving plate 125 via a lead screw. A fixed plate 121 is mounted on the moving plate 125, and a second positioning post 123 is located at the edge of the moving plate. To fix the part, two sets of clamping cylinders 126 are respectively mounted on the moving plates 125 on both sides of the fixed plate. The position of the clamping cylinders is determined according to the riveting position of the part. A pressure rod 127 is mounted on the output end of the clamping cylinder 126. To prevent the part from being deformed by pressure, a support post 128 is mounted on the mounting end face corresponding to the position of the pressure rod 127. A support block 129 is also mounted near the support post 128 to provide support while the pressure rod presses against the part. The pressure rod is made of rubber to prevent damage to the part.

[0030] See Figures 5-6A truss 13 is set above the positioning device 12. A linear slide module 14 is set on the truss 13. A transverse slide plate 15 is set on the linear slide module 14. A mounting plate 16 is vertically set on the transverse slide plate 15. A lifting cylinder 17 is set on the mounting plate 16. A lifting plate 18 is set at the output end of the lifting cylinder 17. A rivet gun 19 is installed on the lifting plate 18. The lifting cylinder 17 drives the rivet gun 19 to descend, grab the nut, and complete the rivet action.

[0031] A switch assembly 20 is also provided on the mounting plate 16 to control the switching of the rivet gun 19. The switch assembly 20 includes a switch cylinder 201. A U-shaped connecting bracket 202 is provided at the output end of the switch cylinder 20. A contact rod 203 is provided at the bottom of the connecting bracket 202. The contact rod 203 and the connecting bracket 202 together form a rectangular structure for the rivet gun body to pass through. The contact rod 203 below can make contact with the rivet gun under the action of the switch cylinder.

[0032] In addition, a displacement sensor 21 is also provided on the mounting plate 16 on one side of the rivet gun 19 to detect the position of the rivet nut and determine whether it is assembled on the part.

[0033] Working principle: The part is manually placed on the positioning device and then pressed by the clamping cylinder. At the same time, the linear slide module and the lifting cylinder drive the rivet gun to move to the positioning slot, grab the nut, and return to the original position. The rivet gun is a pneumatic rivet gun. Then, the servo motor drives the part to move to the designated rivet position. Then the rivet gun moves above the rivet position and the lifting cylinder drives the rivet gun to descend so that the nut passes through the part. The switch cylinder starts and drives the contact rod to start the rivet gun. When the rivet is completed, the displacement sensor detects that it is in place, and the rivet gun and the positioning device return to the original position.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
