The feeding tube can feed multiple PIN pins into multiple second feeding columns 425. The PIN pins fall into the second feeding groove 428 through the second feeding column 425. Then, the feeding cylinder 422 works to drive the second transfer plate 423 to move, so that the second feeding groove 428 corresponds with the riveting column 427 and the second feeding column 426. Then, the PIN pin falls into the second feeding column 426 and one end of it falls against the riveting point of the heat sink. Then, the riveting cylinder 412 works to drive the riveting seat 414 to move down, which in turn drives the riveting column 415 to move down, so that the riveting column passes through the second feeding groove 428 and enters the second feeding column 426 to complete the riveting of the PIN pin, so that the PIN pin is riveted onto the heat sink. After the riveting is completed, the servo pushing mechanism 500 pushes the riveted heat sink to the unloading point to complete the unloading. The above operation can be repeated to perform continuous riveting.

The conveying mechanism can transport the heat sink to be riveted into the transfer trough 111. Then, the servo motor 520 drives the transmission shaft 550 to rotate through the transmission belt 580, which in turn drives the lead screw 540 to rotate, which in turn drives the nut seat 560 to move on the lead screw 540, thereby driving the push plate 570 to move. The push plate can push the heat sink to be riveted to the riveting position. After riveting, a new heat sink to be riveted is pushed to the riveting position. The riveted heat sink is then pushed forward by the new heat sink to the unloading position. This cycle can be repeated to continuously load and unload materials.
