Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nut assembly, specifically an automatic nut pressing device. Background Technology

[0002] When plastic parts require multiple disassembly and assembly, the best fastening method is to insert a metal nut into the plastic part. There are four methods for inserting metal nuts: hot insertion, ultrasonic insertion, nut injection molding, and cold pressing insertion.

[0003] For example, patent CN222662709U discloses a cold-pressing nut pressing device for manufacturing plastic furniture. Existing technology often results in misalignment when installing cold-pressed nuts, and requires individual tapping for installation, leading to low efficiency. The cold-pressing nut pressing device for manufacturing plastic furniture includes a support frame, with a placement platform fixed to the upper part of the support frame, and a placement groove formed on the placement platform.

[0004] The aforementioned patent involves an operator placing the workpiece into the placement slot of the placement table, ensuring the side of the workpiece is flush against the inner surface of the placement table. The operator then places the cold-pressed nuts into the suction holes of the magnetic head. The operator activates the extension rod of the hydraulic push rod, which retracts, causing the connecting frame to move downwards. The connecting frame then moves the mounting plate downwards, which in turn moves the magnetic head downwards, pressing all four cold-pressed nuts into the workpiece. This allows for the simultaneous installation of four cold-pressed nuts, improving work efficiency. However, the disadvantage of this patent is that the nuts need to be placed manually, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve such a structure to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content
