[0002] Casters are a general term encompassing both swivel and fixed casters. Swivel casters, also known as universal casters, allow 360-degree rotation; fixed casters lack this rotating mechanism and cannot turn. The two types are typically used together. Most casters have a rivet on them. Currently, in the production of most casters, the rivet insertion is done manually by workers. This process involves repetitive, strenuous labor, leading to fatigue, low production efficiency, and inconsistent product quality.

[0022] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates specific embodiments of the present invention, making the technical solution and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer and more explicit. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0023] The preferred embodiment provided by this utility model is as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, a caster nail blowing mechanism includes a base 1, a lifting cylinder 2, a movable block 3, and a clamping nozzle 4; one end of the clamping nozzle 4 is hinged to the base 1, and the other end extends out of the base 1; the base 1 has a through hole 11, and the clamping nozzle 4 has a nail hole 41, with the through hole 11 communicating with the nail hole 41.
[0024] The base 1 has a sliding groove 12, and the movable block 3 slides in the sliding groove 12. The movable block 3 includes a feeding section 31 and an air blowing section 32, which are vertically arranged on the movable block 3, so that the feeding section 31 and the air blowing section 32 are at different height positions, and the feeding section 31 and the air blowing section 32 are connected to the nail hole 41 through the through hole 11. The lifting cylinder 2 is connected to the movable block 3 to drive the movable block 3 to slide in the sliding groove 12, so as to control the connection between the feeding section 31 and the nail hole 41, or the connection between the air blowing section 32 and the nail hole 41. The air blowing section 32 is connected to a cylinder to provide airflow to blow the rivet out of the clamp 4.
[0025] The base 1 includes a stand 13 and a base plate 14. The stand 13 is vertically mounted on the base plate 14. A guide block 15 is provided inside the stand 13, and the through hole 11 is provided in the guide block 15. The guide block 15 is located in the middle of the stand 13, so that space is reserved above and below the guide block 15 for the clamping nozzle 4 to be hinged.
[0026] The clamping nozzle 4 is composed of two symmetrically arranged clamping pieces 42, which are respectively positioned above and below the guide block 15. The front end of the clamping piece 42 is a nozzle 43, and the rear end of the clamping piece 42 is hinged to the stand 13, with the nozzle 43 extending beyond the stand 13. A spring 44 is provided at the rear end of the clamping piece 42, and the clamping piece 42 abuts against the guide block 15 through the spring 44 to assist in the reset of the clamping piece 42, so that the two clamping pieces 42 cooperate to maintain the clamping state.

The shape of the locking block 21 matches the shape of the locking position 31.
[0028] Operation flow: The movable block 3 slides into the slide groove 12. The movable block 3 is driven to move up and down by the lifting cylinder 2. The up and down movement makes the feeding part 31 aligned with the through hole 11. Then the nail is fed from the feeding part 31 and passes through the through hole 11 to the nail hole 41. The lifting cylinder 2 moves the movable block 3 upward, making the air blowing part 32 aligned with the through hole 11. The cylinder provides high-pressure airflow to the air blowing part 32. The air pressure blows the nail out of the clamp 4, completing the nail blowing action.
