Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a four-head riveting machine for automotive seat frames. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component for vehicle safety and comfort, the manufacturing precision and structural stability of the car seat frame directly affect the overall performance of the seat. In traditional production processes, the riveting process is a key step to ensure the strength of the frame structure, especially with the increasing demand for multi-station synchronous riveting.
[0003] However, existing riveting equipment still has significant drawbacks in practical applications: First, traditional riveting machines mostly adopt a horizontal processing table layout, requiring operators to maintain a specific working posture for extended periods, which can easily lead to fatigue and makes workpiece loading and unloading inconvenient. Furthermore, the operator's observation and adjustment angles are limited, and the lack of tilt angle design makes it difficult to adapt to the processing needs of complex spatial structures like seat frames. Second, after riveting, the workpiece is prone to mechanical interference with the fixture, requiring manual intervention for demolding, which not only reduces efficiency but also poses a risk of scratches on the workpiece surface. In addition, existing riveting machines lack high-precision guiding and buffering designs, making them prone to rivet point misalignment due to uneven force during multi-station synchronous riveting. The instantaneous impact force is directly transmitted to the equipment body, causing accelerated wear of components. The lack of a fine-tuning mechanism for the riveting joint further restricts its adaptability to complex workpieces.
[0004] Based on this, the applicant proposed a four-head riveting machine for automotive seat frames to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] 3.

[0033] The technical solutions of various embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments described in this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Example 1:
[0034] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the four-head riveting machine for automotive seat frames of this utility model includes a processing table 1. The processing table 1 is inclined, and the inclined processing table design makes the operator's working height more ergonomic, effectively alleviating fatigue during long-term operation. The inclined angle design breaks through the limitations of horizontal layout, significantly expanding the processing field of view, facilitating multi-angle observation and precise adjustment of complex spatial structure seat frames. The processing table 1 is provided with a mounting plate 11, and the mounting plate 11 is provided with a processing unit. The processing unit includes a clamping mechanism 2, and the clamping mechanism 2 is correspondingly provided with a riveting mechanism 3. A sliding plate 4 is also provided between the processing table 1 and the mounting plate 11. The sliding plate 4 is connected to the mounting plate 11. After processing, the cylinder 5 pulls the sliding plate 4 to smoothly disengage the workpiece from the clamping mechanism 2. The automatic demolding mechanism of the sliding plate driven by the cylinder realizes the automatic separation of the workpiece from the clamping system after riveting, eliminating the need for manual demolding and avoiding the risk of surface scratches caused by manual demolding, thus improving demolding efficiency.
[0035] The clamping mechanism 2 includes a hydraulic cylinder A25 fixedly mounted to the mounting plate 11. The hydraulic cylinder A25 is connected to an outer half-clamping sleeve B23 via a connecting shaft 251. The outer half-clamping sleeve B23 is provided with a slot 231, and one end of the connecting shaft 251 is engaged in the slot 231. The flexible connection between the slot and the connecting shaft further absorbs dynamic impacts and reduces component wear. An outer half-clamping sleeve A21 corresponding to the outer half-clamping sleeve B23 is also fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 11. An inner half-clamping sleeve A22 is provided on the outer half-clamping sleeve A21. The outer half-clamp B23 is provided with an inner half-clamp B24 corresponding to the inner half-clamp A22. The inner half-clamp A22 and the inner half-clamp B24 cooperate to clamp the workpiece. The outer half-clamp A21 is provided with a guide post 27, and the outer half-clamp B23 is provided with a corresponding guide sleeve 26. The guide post 27 is slidably disposed in the guide sleeve 26. Through the nested clamping structure of the outer half-clamp and the inner half-clamp, combined with the high-precision guidance of the guide post and the guide sleeve, the uniform distribution of clamping force is ensured during multi-station synchronous riveting, and the riveting point offset is avoided.
[0036] The processing table 1 is provided with a guide rail 12, and the sliding plate 4 is fixedly provided with a slider 13. The slider 13 is slidably connected to the guide rail 12. A buffer mechanism 15 is also fixedly installed on the processing table 1. A fixing block is connected to the mounting plate 11 through an adjusting screw 14. The fixing block is connected to the buffer mechanism 15. The buffer mechanism absorbs the impact force during riveting and demolding, and extends the life of each related component. The displacement sensor and the fine-tuning device form a closed-loop control to realize dynamic compensation of the riveting joint stroke.
[0037] The riveting mechanism 3 includes a motor 31, the output shaft of which is connected to a riveting head 34 via a rotating shaft 33. The motor 31 is fixedly mounted on a fixed base 36. A hydraulic cylinder B37 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 11. The fixed base 36 is movably connected to the hydraulic cylinder B37 via a fine-tuning nut 32. A displacement sensor 35 is also fixedly mounted on the hydraulic cylinder B37. The riveting mechanism integrates the fine-tuning nut and the displacement sensor, supporting online programming and real-time correction of riveting parameters, thus reducing the time required for replacing and adjusting seat frames of different specifications.
[0038] In use, the workpiece is placed on the clamping mechanism. Then, the hydraulic cylinder A operates, causing the outer half-clamp A and outer half-clamp B to close. At this time, the inner half-clamp A and inner half-clamp B clamp the workpiece. The processing stroke of the rivet head is adjusted according to the workpiece's processing technology. The motor and hydraulic cylinder B operate, causing the rivet head to rotate and move closer to the workpiece for riveting. The fine-tuning nut and displacement sensor work together to monitor the processing stroke of the rivet head and compensate for it. After riveting is completed, the riveting mechanism and the clamping mechanism reset. The cylinder pulls the sliding plate, which can generate a certain relative displacement between the workpiece and the clamping mechanism or produce an effect similar to manual knocking demolding, eliminating the force between the workpiece and the clamping mechanism, thus allowing the workpiece to smoothly separate from the clamping mechanism. The workpiece is then removed.
[0039] Because it enables automatic unloading, this device can be installed on automated production lines, equipped with robotic arms and other equipment, to achieve fully automated integrated production of feeding, processing, and unloading, meeting the needs of large-scale industrial automated production. At the same time, since no human intervention is required, it ensures consistency in product processing and improves production quality.
[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and not restrictive in all respects.
