Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assembly automation, and in particular to an automated nut riveting device for assembling sills. Background Technology
[0002] An elevator sill is a protective structure installed below the elevator door to prevent foreign objects from falling into the gap between the elevator and the platform. It is made of stainless steel. During the manufacturing process, riveting devices are often used to process the sill to facilitate subsequent assembly and use. Currently, the common riveting structure often requires manual alignment and adjustment of the workpiece and the execution of loading and unloading. This processing method is inefficient overall. At the same time, existing automated processing equipment has poor workpiece positioning effect and often requires a large number of positioning structures for workpiece adjustment, which is relatively costly and therefore cannot meet the current actual use needs.

[0006] As an improvement, a protective cover is fixedly fitted on the outer side of the movable frame, and the protective cover has slots between it for moving with the mounting base. One side of the electrical box is connected to the mounting base by a cable chain. A position sensor is fixed at the upper end of the movable frame, and an identification module is located at the lower end of the mounting base near the movable frame. The position sensor can determine the current position of the mounting base through the identification module and transmit the data back to the corresponding control module in the electrical box through the internal wiring of the cable chain. The electric push rod A is a lead screw push rod with a fixed sleeve at its upper end to protect the extension push rod.
[0007] As an improvement, two sets of mounting seats are provided on one side of the movable frame. One set of mounting seats is fitted with a rivet gun, and the lower end of the other set of mounting seats is fixed with a limiting seat. The limiting seat is connected to the electric push rod A through a mounting plate and is slidably connected to the slide rail with a sliding seat. The limiting seat is set perpendicular to the mounting plate and is used to detect the position of the workpiece.

[0018] The movable frame 2 is fitted with a protective cover on its outer side. The protective cover has slots 3 between its sections for movement with the mounting base 8. The electrical box 5 has a drag chain 6 on one side connected to the mounting base 8. A position sensor 7 is fixed to the upper end of the movable frame 2.

The electric push rod A11 is a lead screw push rod with a fixed sleeve 10 at its upper end for protecting the extension push rod. Two sets of mounting bases 8 are provided on one side of the movable frame 2. One set of mounting bases 8 is fitted with a rivet gun 15, and the lower end of the other set of mounting bases 8 is fixed with a limit seat 17. The limit seat 17 is connected to the electric push rod A11 through a mounting plate 13 and is slidably connected to the slide rail 9 with a sliding seat 12. The limit seat 17 is set perpendicular to the mounting plate 13 and is used to detect the position of the workpiece. A probe is fixed to the side of the limiting seat 17 away from the moving frame 2.

[0020] When in use, multiple sets of the entire device can be connected in series. When the workpiece moves to the corresponding processing position, the lead screw inside the moving frame 2 will move the mounting seat 8 to the corresponding position, and under the drive of the electric push rod A11, the rivet gun 15 will approach the processing hole. Then, the rivet gun 15 will rotate under the control of the air valve to perform the riveting operation. Afterwards, it will be reset under the drive of the electric push rod A11 to proceed to the next position for processing. During this process, the limit seat 17 will descend at the same time and approach the workpiece to identify the current position. When processing is required on the side, the vertically set rivet gun 15 can be lowered to the corresponding position, and then the electric push rod B19 will push the rivet gun 15 to the predetermined processing position to realize the riveting processing on the side of the workpiece.
