Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] As shown in the figure, this utility model discloses a servo riveting machine, including a cylinder 1, a drive device 1 installed at the rear end of the cylinder 1, a bearing seat 2 installed at the rear end of the cylinder 1, a bearing 3 installed at the bearing seat 2, a lead screw 4 installed at the bearing 3, one end of the lead screw 4 connected to the drive device 1, a lead screw nut 5 installed on the outside of the lead screw 4, the head of a pressure shaft 6 connected to the lead screw nut 5, a base 7 installed at the end of the cylinder 1, the pressure shaft 6 passing through the base 7, the bottom of the pressure shaft 6 connected to a lower flange 8, an eccentric shaft 9, an eccentric gear 10, an internal gear ring 11 and a ball cup 12 installed at the lower flange 8, one end of a spline shaft 13 installed at the eccentric shaft 9, the other end of the spline shaft 13 located inside the lead screw 4, the hollow diameter of the lead screw 4 being larger than that of the spline shaft 13 to avoid the spline shaft 13. The eccentric gear 10 meshes with the internal gear ring 11. The rear end of the eccentric gear 10 is connected to the eccentric shaft 9, and the front end of the eccentric gear 10 is connected to the riveting seat 14. The rear end of the riveting seat 14 is connected to the ball cup 12, and the front end of the riveting seat 14 is fitted with a rivet 15. A protective sleeve 16 is provided between the lower flange 8 and the base 7. The protective sleeve 16 serves to protect the base 7.

[0029] When the drive device is working, it drives the lead screw 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw nut 5 to move linearly. The lead screw nut 5 drives the pressure shaft 6 to move linearly, and the pressure shaft 6 drives the lower flange 8 to move. Then, it drives the eccentric gear 10, ball cup 12, riveting seat 14 and rivet 15 to move linearly, thereby pushing and pressing the rivet.

[0030] Through the design of the eccentric shaft 9 and the eccentric gear 10, the eccentric gear 10 drives the riveting seat 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the rivet 15 to rotate, while the riveting seat 14 rotates along the ball joint 12. This ensures that the center point of the contact end face between the rivet shank and the rivet remains stationary relative to the machine spindle, while the rivet end face other than the center point oscillates accordingly with the rivet shank's movement. Friction and noise during the riveting process are also reduced. This embodiment allows for better control of the final riveting quality, and the rivet head shape is also more aesthetically pleasing.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, a spline shaft inner ring 17 is installed on the spline shaft 13, and a spline shaft outer ring 19 is installed on the outside of the spline shaft inner ring 17 via steel balls 18. A spline shaft mounting plate 20 is installed on the spline shaft outer ring 19. The spline shaft mounting plate 20 passes through the pressure shaft 6 and is connected to the base 7. A driven wheel 21 is installed on the spline shaft inner ring 17. The driven wheel 21 and the driving wheel 22 are connected via a synchronous belt 23. The driving wheel 22 is installed at the second drive device.

[0032] In this embodiment, the outer ring 19 of the spline sleeve can rotate relative to the inner ring 17 of the spline shaft, but cannot move axially relative to it. The inner ring 17 of the spline shaft can move linearly relative to the spline shaft 13, but cannot rotate relative to it.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, a front sleeve 24 is installed at the front end of the lower flange 8, a rivet 15 passes through the front sleeve 24, and a return spring 25 is sleeved on the rivet seat 14, with the front end of the return spring 25 installed inside the front sleeve 24.

[0034] The return spring 25 can achieve reset. For example, when the riveting is finished, the return spring 25 drives the riveting seat 14 and the rivet 15 to retract.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, a drive mounting plate 26 is installed at the end of the cylinder 1, a drive device 27 is installed on the drive mounting plate 26, and a dust cover 28 is installed on the outside of the drive mounting plate 26. The other side of the dust cover 28 is located at the base 7.

[0036] When motor 27 operates, it drives drive wheel 22 to rotate, which in turn drives driven wheel 21 to rotate via synchronous belt 23. Driven wheel 21 drives inner ring 17 of splined shaft to rotate, and inner ring 17 of splined shaft drives splined shaft 13 to rotate, ultimately driving the rivet to rotate and completing the riveting.

[0037] By using the outer ring 19 of the spline sleeve and the inner ring 17 of the spline shaft, the motor 27 can be installed on one side of the cylinder, eliminating the need to install the motor 27 on the bottom of the cylinder. This greatly shortens the length of the riveting machine and reduces the installation time.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, an oiler mounting bracket 29 is installed on the dust cover 28, an oiler 30 is installed on the oiler mounting bracket 29, an oil pipe 31 is connected to the oiler 30, and the other end of the oil pipe 31 is connected to the lower flange 8. To facilitate the installation of the oil pipe 31, a connector 32 is installed on the lower flange 8 in advance, and the oil pipe 31 is connected to the connector 32.

[0039] The lubricator can automatically add oil at specific times or after a specific number of times as needed, reducing downtime losses caused by manual oiling, making maintenance more convenient, more efficient, and extending the service life of parts.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, two parallel through slots 61 are provided at the pressure shaft 6, a timing belt passes through the two through slots 61, and a spline shaft mounting plate 20 passes through one of the through slots 61.

[0041] The slot 61 is used to avoid interference between the pressure shaft 6 and the timing belt 23 and the splined shaft mounting plate 20. The motor 27 is fixed and does not move up and down with the pressure shaft, thereby reducing the motor's inertia and improving its control effect.

[0042] In one embodiment of this utility model, the drive device includes a motor 33 and a reducer 34. The motor 33 is connected to the reducer 34, the reducer 34 is connected to the reducer flange 35, a coupling 36 is installed inside the reducer flange 35, the output end of the reducer 34 is connected to the coupling 36, and the lead screw 4 is connected to the coupling 36.

[0043] This is a direct connection type, meaning that the motor 1 and reducer 34 are directly connected to the cylinder 1. This type is relatively long, but has little lateral space.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, a pressure sensor 37 is installed between the reducer flange 35 and the cylinder 1.

[0045] In another embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 A pressure sensor 37 is installed at the front end of the lower flange 8, and an adapter sleeve 38 is installed at the front end of the pressure sensor 37. The pressure sensor 37 is located between the ball cup 12 and the internal gear ring 11. The front sheath 24 is installed at the front end of the adapter sleeve 38. One end of the oil pipe 31 is connected to the adapter sleeve 38, and the ball cup 12 is located inside the adapter sleeve 38.

[0046] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor 37 is placed at the front end of the pressure shaft and directly contacts the ball cup 12, so the measured riveting force is more accurate.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, the drive device includes a motor 33 and a reducer 34. The reducer 34 is mounted on a flange plate 39, and a dust cover 40 is installed at the front end of the flange plate 39. A drive wheel 41 is installed at the output end of the reducer 34. The drive wheel 41 and the driven wheel 42 are connected by a synchronous belt 43. The driven wheel 42 is mounted on a connecting shaft 44, which is connected to a lead screw 4 via a coupling 36. The connecting shaft 44 passes through the flange plate 39, and one end of the flange plate 39 is installed at an upper flange 45, which is installed at the cylinder 1. This embodiment is a bent type, meaning that the motor 33 is parallel to the cylinder 1, resulting in a shorter overall length but a larger lateral space.

[0048] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of this utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
