Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a riveting fixture, and more particularly to a mold structure for riveting nuts to the inner wall of a U-shaped part. Background Technology

[0002] The description in this section provides only background information related to the disclosure of this utility model and does not constitute prior art.

[0003] There is a U-shaped part that needs to have holes of a predetermined shape riveted to its edges. In the existing technology, the U-shaped part is generally initially placed in a mold, the top surface of the U-shaped part is pressed by the upper template, and the part to be processed is pressed and riveted by the rivet post of the predetermined size until the corresponding hole is formed.

[0004] Because the holes are relatively fine and are located at the edge of the U-shaped part, the center of gravity of the U-shaped part itself is unstable. During the extrusion process, when the entire upper template is directly attached to the U-shaped part, uneven force is likely to occur, resulting in wobbling and poor final punching accuracy.

[0005] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the purpose of providing a clear and complete explanation of the technical solutions of this utility model and facilitating understanding by those skilled in the art. It should not be assumed that these technical solutions are known to those skilled in the art simply because they have been described in the background section of this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mold structure for riveting nuts to the inner wall of a U-shaped part. By setting riveting punches with matching positions and sizes on the upper mold mechanism, the punches first contact the part to be riveted during riveting, thereby improving the accuracy of hole forming.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a mold structure for riveting nuts on the inner wall of a U-shaped part, the mold structure comprising:

[0008] The lower mold mechanism includes a lower template and a rivet post. The lower template has a first surface and a second surface that are disposed opposite to each other. The rivet post is mounted on the lower template, and at least a portion of the rivet post protrudes beyond the second surface of the lower template, forming a rivet post protrusion.

[0009] The upper mold mechanism includes an upper template and a riveting punch. The upper template has a first surface and a second surface that are disposed opposite to each other. The first surface of the upper template faces the second surface of the lower template. The riveting punch is mounted on the upper template, and at least a portion of the riveting punch protrudes beyond the first surface of the upper template, forming a riveting punch protrusion.

[0010] The lower template and the upper template are used to clamp the U-shaped part together. The horizontal position of the rivet post protrusion matches the position of the riveting punch protrusion. The rivet post has a through hole, which is used to allow at least part of the riveting punch protrusion to enter when the lower mold mechanism and the upper mold mechanism are closed.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution, the lower mold mechanism also includes a first positioning post, which is installed on the lower mold plate and at least a portion of the first positioning post passes through the through hole of the rivet post. The first positioning post is used to position the rivet post.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution, the first positioning post has sufficient length so that when the lower mold mechanism and the upper mold mechanism are closed, the end of the first positioning post just abuts against the riveting punch protrusion.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution, the first positioning post, which passes through the through hole of the rivet post, has a smaller diameter, so that at least a portion of the bottom of the rivet post abuts against the first positioning post.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution, the protrusion of the riveting punch protruding from the first surface of the upper template is 0.02mm.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution, the diameter of the riveting punch protrusion matches the diameter of the through hole of the rivet post, so that the riveting punch protrusion is automatically adapted and positioned by the through hole of the rivet post during riveting.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution, the lower mold mechanism also includes a second positioning post, which is installed on the lower mold plate. The U-shaped part has a positioning hole, and at least a portion of the second positioning post passes through the positioning hole of the U-shaped part. The second positioning post is used to position the U-shaped part.

[0017] Based on the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] The mold structure for riveting nuts on the inner wall of U-shaped parts of this utility model can be achieved by setting riveting punches with matching positions and sizes on the upper mold mechanism. During riveting, the protruding part of the riveting punch first contacts the part to be riveted on the U-shaped part, and then the bottom surface of the upper mold plate is pressed down to gradually fit into the U-shaped part. This replaces the existing method of directly pressing down the entire bottom surface of the upper mold plate to contact the U-shaped part, thus improving the hole forming accuracy.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-2 This embodiment provides a mold structure for riveting nuts to the inner wall of a U-shaped part. The mold structure for riveting nuts to the inner wall of the U-shaped part includes:

[0031] The lower mold mechanism 1 includes a lower mold plate 11 and a rivet 12. The lower mold plate 11 has a first surface and a second surface that are arranged opposite to each other. The rivet 12 is installed on the lower mold plate 11, and at least part of the rivet 12 protrudes out of the second surface of the lower mold plate, forming a rivet protrusion.

[0032] The upper mold mechanism 2 includes an upper template 21 and a riveting punch 22. The upper template 21 has a first surface and a second surface that are arranged opposite to each other. The first surface of the upper template 21 is arranged facing the second surface of the lower template 11. The riveting punch 22 is installed on the upper template 21, and at least part of the riveting punch 22 protrudes outside the first surface of the upper template 21, forming a riveting punch protrusion.

[0033] The lower template 11 and the upper template 21 are used to clamp the U-shaped part 100 between them. The horizontal position of the rivet protrusion matches the position of the riveting punch protrusion. The rivet 12 has a through hole, which is used to allow at least part of the riveting punch protrusion to enter when the lower mold mechanism 1 and the upper mold mechanism 2 are closed.

[0034] With the above structure, during use, the operator only needs to place the U-shaped part 100 in advance between the lower mold mechanism 1 and the upper mold mechanism 2. Specifically, the top and bottom surfaces of the U-shaped part 100 to be riveted face the rivet post 12 and the riveting punch 22. During the riveting process, the protruding part of the rivet post abuts against the bottom surface of the U-shaped part 100, and simultaneously, the protruding part of the riveting punch abuts against the top surface of the U-shaped part 100. This causes the part of the U-shaped part 100 to be riveted to undergo partial deformation under the pressure from above and below, and the hole shape of the part of the U-shaped part 100 to be riveted gradually expands. Further, after the protruding part of the riveting punch presses the U-shaped part 100 to a certain extent, the second surface of the upper mold plate 21 fits against the U-shaped part 100. Then, after the protruding part of the rivet post presses the U-shaped part 100 to a certain extent, the first surface of the lower mold plate 11 fits against the U-shaped part 100 until they are completely fitted, and finally the riveted hole is formed.

[0035] In the above-described process, by setting a riveting punch 22 with matching position and size on the upper die mechanism 2, during riveting, the protruding part of the riveting punch 22 first contacts the part to be riveted on the U-shaped part 100, and then the bottom surface of the upper die 21 is pressed down to gradually fit against the U-shaped part. This replaces the existing method of directly pressing down the entire bottom surface of the upper die 21 to contact the U-shaped part 100, thus improving the hole forming accuracy. In other words, in the initial stage of riveting, the initial contact of the protruding part of the riveting punch actually forms a positioning of the riveting position of the U-shaped part 100, and the positioning effect is even greater due to the friction of the material during the gradual application of force.

[0036] Furthermore, the lower die mechanism 1 also includes a first positioning post 13, which is mounted on the lower die plate 11, and at least a portion of the first positioning post 13 passes through the through hole of the rivet post 12. The first positioning post 13 is used to position the rivet post 12. Specifically, the first positioning post 13 has sufficient length so that when the lower die mechanism 1 and the upper die mechanism 2 are closed, the end of the first positioning post 13 just abuts against the protruding part of the riveting punch. Therefore, with the presence of the first positioning post 13, the rivet post 12 can be limited and pressed into a fixed position on the lower die plate 11, preventing movement during the riveting process. At the same time, the first positioning post 13 passing through the through hole of the rivet post 12 has a smaller diameter so that at least a portion of the bottom of the rivet post 12 abuts against the first positioning post 13. In effect, the first positioning post 13 forms an annular step for placing the rivet post 12, making the rivet post 12 more stably fixed.

[0037] Furthermore, the protrusion of the riveting punch protrudes 0.02mm from the first surface of the upper template 21. In fact, the protrusion of the riveting punch only needs to protrude by a very small size to play an auxiliary positioning role. Ultimately, the upper template 21 still needs to press the U-shaped part 100 after deformation to avoid affecting the subsequent forming of the hole.

[0038] Furthermore, the diameter of the riveting punch protrusion is the same as the diameter of the through hole of the rivet 12. Therefore, after the riveting die is closed, the riveting punch protrusion can be pressed into the through hole of the rivet 12 to achieve a positioning or guiding effect.

[0039] Furthermore, the lower mold mechanism 1 also includes a second positioning post 14, which is mounted on the lower mold plate 11. The U-shaped part 100 has a positioning hole, and at least part of the second positioning post 14 passes through the positioning hole of the U-shaped part 100. The second positioning post 14 is used to position the U-shaped part 100. With the auxiliary positioning of the second positioning post 14, the U-shaped part 100 itself can be prevented from shifting at a large angle.
