Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the utility model, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically limited. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0031] As Figures 1-6As shown, the utility model discloses a gun head mechanism for rivet device, including gun head body 1, material belt 2 and top rod 3, gun head body 1 includes the first passageway 10 who sets up along the axial direction of gun head body 1 and the second passageway 11 who sets up along the radial direction of gun head body 1, material belt 2 is used for conveying rivet 20 and is set in the second passageway 11, and top rod 3 is set in the first passageway 10, and the top end of top rod 3 is connected with the power head (not shown in the drawing) of riveting device. Top rod 3 is driven under the power head, and pushes rivet 20 on material belt 2 to move along the first passageway 10 to riveting position, realizes accurate riveting. Gun head body 1 is made of high-strength material, and durability is ensured. Material belt 2 is designed flexibly, and is convenient for quick replacement, and work efficiency is improved.

[0032] The gun head mechanism further includes a guide pin assembly 4 located at the front end of the gun head body 1 for guiding the rivet 20 to accurately enter the riveting position. The guide pin assembly 4 includes a connecting head 40, a gun nozzle 41, a sleeve 42, and an elastic member 43. The gun nozzle 41 is fixedly connected to the front end of the gun head body 1 through the connecting head 40. The sleeve 42 is arranged in the gun nozzle 41, and the sleeve 42 is formed by splicing a plurality of arc segments 420. The sleeve 42 has a guide channel 421 formed inside and coaxially communicated with the first passageway 10. The elastic member 43 is clamped on the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 42. The sleeve 42 in the guide pin assembly 4 is formed by splicing a plurality of arc segments 420. The arc segments 420 provide uniform hoop gripping stress for the rivet 20 pushed by the top rod 3, so that the rivet 20 maintains a balanced posture under the action of the hoop gripping stress and does not deviate. This avoids the rivet 20 from turning over, tilting, or deforming due to uneven stress, and reduces faults or quality problems caused by stress problems. The elastic member 43 applies a constant pressure on the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 42 to ensure that the arc segments 420 are tightly fitted, further optimizing the guiding accuracy of the rivet 20. The overall design not only improves the stability of riveting, but also prolongs the service life of the equipment, and is suitable for high-precision riveting requirements.

[0033] In theory, the more the number of arc segments 420 of the sleeve 42, the more uniform the hoop gripping stress distribution obtained by the outer circumferential surface of the rivet cap of the rivet 20. However, considering the control of production cost, the number of arc segments 420 should not be excessively divided. In actual production, the sleeve 42 is preferably composed of two or three arc segments 420. By optimizing the number of arc segments 420, the stable guidance of the rivet 20 is ensured, and the manufacturing cost is effectively controlled, achieving a balance between performance and economy.

[0034] The outer circumferential surface of the sleeve 42 is concave and has an annular groove 422 for mounting the elastic member 43. The annular groove 422 is designed cleverly to ensure that the elastic member 43 is stably mounted, so that the elastic member 43 can provide continuous and uniform pressure, further optimizing the guiding effect of the sleeve 42 on the rivet 20, and improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0035] The pipe sleeve 42 extends radially outward to form a limiting portion 423 near the axial end of the connector 40, one side of the limiting portion 423 abuts against the connector 40, and the other side abuts against the end of the body portion 410 away from the extending portion 411, which effectively prevents the pipe sleeve 42 from axial displacement during riveting.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3 , the inner wall of the connector 40 has a first flared opening 400 with a large upper part and a small lower part, and the upper end of the pipe sleeve 42 has a second flared opening 424 formed on the inner wall, the inner diameter of the bottom end of the first flared opening 400 is smaller than the inner diameter of the top end of the second flared opening 424, and the second flared opening 424 is formed on the radially inner side of the limiting portion 423. This design cleverly utilizes the size difference of the flared opening, ensuring smooth transition of the rivet 20 when entering the pipe sleeve 42 from the connector 40, avoiding jamming or deflection caused by sudden size change, and further improving the smoothness and accuracy of riveting.

[0037] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , the axial section of the gun nozzle 41 is in the shape of a convex character, which is beneficial to enhance the stability and guidance during riveting, ensuring the best effect of each riveting.

[0038] Specifically, the gun nozzle 41 includes a body portion 410 and an extending portion 411 protruding radially outward from the body portion 410, and the extending portion 411 abuts against the riveting surface of the product to be riveted. By providing the extending portion 411, the gun nozzle 41 can have a larger contact area with the riveting surface of the product to be riveted, achieving more uniform pressure distribution and avoiding collapse of the rivet edge of the riveting surface during riveting, which can cause appearance defects.

[0039] In this embodiment, the extending portion 411 is in the shape of a cylinder, which has a diameter larger than that of the body portion 410, ensuring close fitting with the riveting surface and improving the stability of riveting. The cylindrical design simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces costs, and maintains good mechanical properties, ensuring that it is not easily deformed during long-term use. In addition, the abutting surface 417 of the extending portion 411 is finely polished, which is smooth in surface, avoiding scratching the riveting surface of the product during riveting, and improving the quality of the product to be riveted. Furthermore, the transition area between the body portion 410 and the extending portion 411 and the edge area of the bottom of the extending portion 411 adopt a circular arc transition, which further improves the overall strength and aesthetics of the structure, ensuring the stability of the riveting operation and the perfect appearance of the product.

[0040] In the embodiment, the outer diameter d of the extension part 411 is 28-36 mm. In this size range, the collapse of the riveting surface of the gun nozzle 41 due to excessive pressure on the riveting surface can be avoided, which affects the appearance. Also, the gun nozzle 41 can not exceed the riveting surface of the product to be riveted due to the excessive radial size. In the embodiment, the outer diameter d of the extension part 411 is preferably 32 mm.

[0041] As shown in Figure 4 The outer peripheral surface of the body part 410 is formed with a flat surface 412, and the locking member 5 abuts against the flat surface 412 through the connector 40, so that the locking member 5 and the body part 410 have sufficient contact area to form stable abutment and ensure stable locking.

[0042] As shown in Figure 5 The body part 410 is formed with a through hole 413 for placing the sleeve 42, and the inner wall of the through hole 413 is formed with a stepped part 414. The axial end of the sleeve 42 away from the connector 40 abuts against the upper end surface 415 of the stepped part 414, which cooperates with the limiting part 423 to further prevent the axial displacement of the sleeve 42 during riveting. The lower end surface 416 of the stepped part 414 is coplanar with the abutting surface 417 of the extension part 411, which further expands the contact area between the bottom of the gun nozzle 41 and the riveting surface, prevents the collapse of the rivet edge, affects the riveting effect, and causes the appearance to be unqualified.
