Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat assembly technology, and more specifically to a single-head riveting machine for automotive seat assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Car seats are seats inside a car for passengers to sit on. The assembly of car seats requires the use of a riveting process to connect and fix the seat frame. The riveting process can be used to connect different parts of the seat frame, such as seat rails and car seat back support.

[0003] Meanwhile, in order to ensure the assembly accuracy of different components of the car seat frame during the riveting process, positioning fixtures are usually provided. By using fixtures, the position of the workpiece can be fixed to prevent it from moving or rotating during the riveting process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the assembly. In addition, the use of fixtures can also reduce the manual operation intensity of workers and reduce errors caused by human factors.

[0004] In existing technologies, a single riveting machine is typically equipped with a dedicated clamp. Because this clamp is only suitable for clamping a specific component of the automotive seat frame (such as a seat rail), multiple riveting machines are required during automotive seat assembly to meet the riveting needs of different components. Due to the poor versatility of existing riveting machines, the use of multiple machines increases production costs for companies. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the high production costs resulting from the need for multiple riveting machines due to the poor versatility of existing automotive seat riveting machines, this invention provides a single-head riveting machine for automotive seat assembly.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a single-head riveting machine for assembling automotive seats, including a frame, an upper die head, a die head drive cylinder, a base, a positioning fixture, and a locking component. The upper die head is vertically slidably mounted on the top of the frame. The die head drive cylinder is connected to the upper die head. The base is mounted on the upper surface of the bottom end of the frame. The upper surface of the base has first connecting holes on all four sides. The bottom surface of the positioning fixture has second connecting holes that extend vertically through all four sides. The upper surface of the base has a positioning pin extending vertically upward. The bottom surface of the positioning fixture has a pin hole that mates with the positioning pin. The first connecting holes and the second connecting holes are aligned. The locking component is locked in the first connecting holes and the second connecting holes.

[0007] In an embodiment of this utility model, a translation cylinder is also included. A slider is installed at the bottom end of the base, and a slide rail is installed on the upper surface of the bottom end of the frame. The slide rail is arranged along the length direction parallel to the upper die head. The slider is slidably installed on the slide rail, and the piston rod of the translation cylinder is fixedly connected to the base.

[0008] In an embodiment of this utility model, cylinder limit switches are respectively installed at both ends of the bottom of the frame along its length.

[0009] In an embodiment of this utility model, handles for easy gripping are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the bottom end of the positioning clamp.

[0010] In an embodiment of this utility model, the locking element is a bolt.

[0011] In an embodiment of this utility model, the tail of the translation cylinder is fixedly installed at one end of the bottom of the frame, and one end of the piston rod of the translation cylinder is installed at the bottom of the base along the length direction parallel to the upper die head.

[0012] In an embodiment of this utility model, a mounting groove is provided on the top surface of the bottom end of the frame. The mounting groove extends along the length direction of the upper mold head, and the translation cylinder is installed in the mounting groove.

[0013] In an embodiment of this utility model, a pair of connecting blocks are also included. Each connecting block is horizontally fixed to the outer side of the bottom end of the positioning fixture by a screw. A pair of handles are respectively fixed to the outer edge of the top surface of the pair of connecting blocks.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. By adopting the above-mentioned single-head riveting machine for automotive seat assembly, a base is installed at the bottom of the frame. The positioning fixture is detachably and fixedly installed on the base using locking components. When different automotive seat parts need to be riveted, the corresponding positioning fixture can be easily replaced by loosening the locking components and locked onto the base. Since the corresponding positioning fixture can be replaced on one riveting machine as needed to perform positioning and clamping processing on different seat assembly parts, the versatility of the riveting machine is improved, and the problem of increased cost caused by the need to equip multiple riveting machines is solved.

[0016] 2. By using a translation cylinder to drive the base to move back and forth linearly along the bottom of the frame, the product parts to be riveted in the positioning fixture installed on the base can be conveniently and quickly adjusted according to the riveting position, so that the riveting part of the product parts can be quickly moved to the bottom of the upper die head for riveting operation, so that a single die head can handle multiple riveting positions of the product parts.

[0040] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0041] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 This embodiment provides a single-head riveting machine 10 for assembling automotive seats, including a frame 100, an upper die head 300, a die head drive cylinder 200, a base 400, a positioning fixture 500, and a locking component 600.

[0042] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the frame 100 provides mounting support for the upper mold head 300, the mold head drive cylinder 200, and the positioning fixture 500. To better understand its function, its structure is briefly described below. In this embodiment, the frame 100 includes an upper mounting plate 101, a lower mounting plate 102, and four support columns 103. The upper mounting plate 101 is positioned directly above the lower mounting plate 102, and the four support columns 103 are respectively located between the upper mounting plate 101 and the lower mounting plate 102, with the upper and lower ends of the support columns 103 fixed to the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate respectively.

[0043] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the upper mold head 300 is slidably mounted on the upper mounting plate 101. The upper mold head 300 can slide up and down relative to the upper mounting plate 101. The mold head drive cylinder 200 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the upper mounting plate 101, and the piston rod of the mold head drive cylinder 200 is fixedly connected to the upper mold head 300 to drive the upper mold head 300 to slide up and down.

[0044] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3As shown, the base 400 is disposed at the bottom end of the frame 100, specifically, the base 400 is mounted on the top surface of the lower mounting plate 102. In this embodiment, the base 400 has a flat surface structure, and the size of the base 400 is the same as the size of the lower mounting plate 102. The flat surface structure of the base 400 facilitates the subsequent installation of the positioning fixture 500 on it.

[0045] See attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end face of the base 400 is provided with a vertically upward extending positioning pin, and the bottom end face of the positioning clamp 500 is provided with a pin hole that mates with the positioning pin. A first connecting hole, which is a threaded hole, is provided at the four corners of the top surface of the base 400. Correspondingly, a second connecting hole, which is a through hole extending vertically, is provided at the four corners of the base plate of the positioning clamp 500. When the positioning clamp 500 is installed on the base 400, the pin hole on the base plate of the positioning clamp 500 is inserted into the positioning pin hole on the lower base 400 to achieve positioning and installation of the positioning clamp 500 on the base 400. Simultaneously, the second connecting hole on the base plate of the positioning clamp 500 is aligned with the first connecting hole on the lower base 400. After the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are aligned, a locking member 600 is inserted into the second connecting hole and locked, thus fixing the positioning clamp 500 on the base 400. In some embodiments, the locking member 600 is a bolt. By inserting the bolt into the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole and rotating the bolt to lock it, the positioning clamp 500 can be easily and quickly and securely installed on the base 400.

[0046] By adding a base 400 at the bottom of the frame 100, and opening a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole around the base plate of the base 400 and the positioning clamp 500 respectively, and locking the two together detachably using a locking member 600; this structure allows the positioning clamp 500 used for clamping and positioning different parts of the car seat to have a second connecting hole around its base plate, thus standardizing the positioning clamp 500 used for clamping and positioning different parts of the car seat. Therefore, when changing different positioning clamps 500, it is convenient and quick to install the required positioning clamp 500. The positioning fixture 500 is quickly installed on the base 400. Because the positioning fixture 500 for different parts of the car seat can be replaced, the versatility of the entire single-head riveting machine is improved. When riveting different parts of the car seat, the corresponding positioning fixture 500 on a single riveting machine can be replaced to perform riveting operations on different parts of the car seat, achieving a multi-purpose effect. This solves the problem of increased production costs caused by the need for multiple riveting machines to be used separately for riveting different parts of the car seat. Furthermore, since the modification cost is relatively low due to the addition of the base 400 and the opening of connecting holes in the base plate of the positioning fixture 500, it is beneficial to the promotion of this modification technology.

[0047] Combined with reference to the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown, a translation cylinder is also installed at the bottom of the base 400. The translation cylinder is used to drive the base 400 to move telescopically relative to the bottom of the frame 100, so as to drive the positioning fixture 500 on the base 400 to move laterally, so as to meet the requirement that when there are multiple riveting positions on the automotive seat product parts placed on the positioning fixture 500, they can be moved and riveted sequentially.

[0048] See attached document Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 As shown, different car seat components are placed on the positioning fixture 500. Figure 6 The positioning clamp 500 in the middle is equipped with a slide rail component 20 for a car seat. Figure 7 The positioning fixture 500 holds the backrest support component 30 of the car seat. When riveting different car seat components, the riveting positions on different car seat components are different (it should be noted that the difference in riveting positions is only in the lateral direction. The existing positioning fixture 500 has taken into account that the position of the upper die head 300 in the riveting machine cannot move left, right, forward, or backward. Therefore, the riveting positions on the car seat components are designed to be arranged in the lateral direction). At this time, it is necessary to move the base 400 laterally by means of a translation cylinder according to the lateral direction of the riveting position, and perform riveting operations on one or more riveting positions on the car seat components in sequence.

[0049] Specifically, a slide rail 800 is installed on the top surface of the bottom end (lower mounting plate 102) of the frame 100 along the length of the upper template, and a slider 900 is installed on the bottom surface of the base 400. The base 400 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 800 via the slider 900, so that the base 400 can slide laterally back and forth relative to the bottom end of the frame 100.

[0050] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown, the translation cylinder is arranged between the base 400 and the bottom end face of the frame 100. That is, the tail of the translation cylinder is fixedly installed at one end of the bottom of the frame 100, and one end of the piston rod of the translation cylinder is installed at the bottom of the base 400 along the length direction parallel to the upper die head 300. This arrangement can make full use of the space formed by the slider 900 at the base 400 and the slide rail 800 installed at the bottom of the frame 100, making the whole structure more compact.

[0051] Combined with reference to the appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 As shown, in order to better accommodate the installation of translation cylinders, for example, for translation cylinders with larger height dimensions, since they require more installation space in the height direction, an installation groove is provided on the top surface of the bottom end of the frame 100. The installation groove extends along the length direction of the upper mold head 300 (i.e., the same as the installation direction of the translation cylinder). The installation groove increases the height of the space formed between the base 400 and the bottom end of the frame 100, which is more conducive to the installation of the translation cylinder between the base 400 and the bottom end of the frame 100.

[0052] See attached document Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, cylinder limit switches 1000 are installed at both ends of the bottom of the frame 100 along its length. The cylinder limit switches 1000 are set to ensure the normal operation of the translation cylinder and prevent the piston rod of the translation cylinder from exceeding the stroke range, thus playing a protective role.

[0053] See attached document Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and appendix Figure 5 As shown, to facilitate the operator's replacement of the positioning clamp 500, handles 700 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the bottom of the positioning clamp 500 for easy gripping. When replacing the positioning clamp 500, the operator first loosens the locking member 600 between the positioning clamp 500 and the base 400. After the locking member 600 is loosened, the operator can use both hands to hold the handles 700 and remove the positioning clamp 500 as a whole for replacement.

[0054] See attached document Figure 3 and attached Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the handle 700 is installed on the positioning fixture 500 by means of a pair of connecting blocks 1100. Each connecting block 1100 is horizontally fixed to the outer side of the bottom end of the positioning fixture 500 by means of screws. The pair of handles 700 are respectively fixed to the outer edge of the top surface of the pair of connecting blocks 1100.

[0055] In the above structure, by installing the handle 700 on the outer edge of the connecting block 1100, the gap between the handle 700 and the positioning clamp 500 can be increased, making it easier for the operator to hold the handle 700 and operate it. In addition, this method of installing the handle 700 on the outer edge of the positioning clamp 500 by means of the connecting block 1100 also makes it easier to modify the existing positioning clamp 500 and reduce the modification cost.
