Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nail-free rivet gun technology, and in particular to an actuator that can quickly switch between different processes. Background Technology

[0002] A rivetless riveting gun is a device that uses the principle of cold extrusion deformation to join two or more layers of sheet metal using specialized molds and pressure equipment. The working principle of a rivetless riveting gun is to create a locking structure through the concave deformation of the upper and lower sheets, thereby achieving the connection of the sheet metal. This connection method does not require the use of rivets, hence the name rivetless riveting. It is mainly suitable for connecting thin sheets, such as steel sheets, galvanized sheets, iron sheets, stainless steel sheets, aluminum sheets, and non-metallic sandwich panels. During the connection process, the rivetless riveting gun uses a stamping machine and specialized connecting molds to perform instantaneous high-pressure processing, causing the sheet metal itself to undergo cold extrusion deformation, forming a stress-free, internally embedded dot with certain tensile and shear strength, thus achieving the connection.

[0003] Chinese invention patent application CN2730518Y discloses a nail-free manual riveting gun. This patent includes a positioning frame with a support column having a rivet hole, a positioning rod fixedly connected to the support column via a right-angle connecting rod and having a rivet hole, a blade-shaped body with a cutting edge placed in the rivet hole, an arc-shaped rivet knife placed at the bottom of the blade-shaped body and integrally formed with it, two handles hinged to the lower part of the arc-shaped rivet knife via a connecting piece, and two elastic elements on one of the handles that are in close contact with the bottom of the arc-shaped rivet knife via an elastic rod. This invention has a simple structure and is easy to use. Because the side of the cutting edge transitions to the lower end of the blade-shaped body with an arc, it rolls the two metal materials that need to be fastened together together during operation, achieving the purpose of nail-free riveting.

[0004] In existing technologies, rivet guns primarily use a single rivet gun structure to press against the surfaces of stacked metal plates to achieve the riveting effect when performing nail-free riveting operations. However, the same equipment cannot quickly switch between the rivet gun shanks used for SPR and Clinching processes; instead, the rivet gun needs to be replaced, thus presenting a drawback that requires improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an actuator that enables rapid switching between different processes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An actuator capable of rapidly switching between different processes includes a servo-driven cylinder, and further includes:

[0008] The switchable actuator includes a disc, a groove on one side of the disc, a cylinder rod on one side of the servo power cylinder, a quick-change nut on one side of the cylinder rod, and a rivet gun rod on one side of the quick-change nut.

[0009] The quick-change nut can be replaced by removing and installing the rivet gun rod on one side.

[0010] A further technical solution involves using a reinforced alloy material for the disc surface, with a C-shaped structure.

[0011] Further technical solutions also include:

[0012] The docking structure includes a mounting plate disposed on the other side of the panel, and a docking seat is provided at the end of the mounting plate.

[0013] A further technical solution involves mounting the docking seat on the panel in a manner that corresponds to the positions of the rivet gun rod and the replaceable rivet gun rod.

[0014] A further technical solution involves a support on one side of the panel, with mounting screw holes arrayed on the surface of the support.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an actuator that can quickly switch between different processes, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The servo power cylinder in this invention is universal, and by switching the actuator, the same equipment can quickly switch between SPR and Clinching processes, enabling the same device to have multiple uses. Therefore, this equipment has good versatility and quick actuator change, especially in prototyping situations, where different riveting processes can be achieved with a single device, reducing equipment investment.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 An actuator capable of rapidly switching between different processes includes a servo power cylinder 1, which is the power component of the device, and also includes:

[0023] The switchable actuator 2 includes a disc 4, which serves as a support component of the device. A groove 5 is provided on one side of the disc 4, which is a structure for the positioning and sliding of the cylinder rod 6. A cylinder rod 6 is provided on one side of the servo power cylinder 1, and a quick-change nut 7 is installed on one side of the cylinder rod 6. The quick-change nut 7 enables quick replacement of the rivet gun rod 8 and the replaceable rivet gun rod 801. The rivet gun rod 8 is installed on one side of the quick-change nut 7.

[0024] One side of the quick-change nut 7 can be replaced with a replaceable rivet gun rod 801 by disassembling the rivet gun rod 8.

[0025] The aforementioned actuator that enables rapid switching between different processes has a disk 4 made of reinforced alloy material and a C-shaped structure with good structural strength.

[0026] The aforementioned actuator capable of rapidly switching between different processes further includes:

[0027] The docking structure 3 includes a mounting plate 10 disposed on the other side of the disc surface 4. The end of the mounting plate 10 is provided with a docking seat 11. The positions of the docking seat 11 and the rivet gun rod 8 correspond to each other to achieve the effect of rivetless riveting.

[0028] The aforementioned actuator, which enables rapid switching between different processes, has a docking seat 11 installed on the disc 4 at a position corresponding to the positions of the rivet gun rod 8 and the replaceable rivet rod 801, in order to achieve the effect of rivetless stamping process.

[0029] The aforementioned actuator, which enables rapid switching between different processes, has a support 9 on one side of the disc 4. The surface of the support 9 is arrayed with mounting screw holes to achieve the installation effect of the device in a specific location.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] In the actual design process, this utility model addresses the following shortcomings in the existing technology: "In the existing technology, when performing rivetless riveting, the rivet gun mainly uses a single rivet gun structure to press the surface of stacked metal plates to achieve the riveting effect. However, the same equipment cannot quickly switch the rivet gun rod used for SPR and Clinching processes, but requires replacing the rivet gun, thus presenting a defect that needs improvement." Therefore, a switchable actuator 2 and a docking structure 3 are specifically proposed.

[0032] Switchable actuator 2:

[0033] This structure primarily uses a servo power cylinder 1 and a cylinder rod 6 to control the position of the rivet gun rod 8 at the end, which corresponds to the mating seat 11, and the overlapping metal materials are pressed together. A rivetless stamping effect is achieved at the riveting location through cold stamping. When a process change is required, simply unscrew the rivet gun rod 8 from the surface of the quick-change nut 7 and replace it with a replaceable rivet rod 801 to achieve a quick change between SPR and Clinching processes.

[0034] docking structure 3:

[0035] This structure mainly corresponds to the rivet gun rod 8, achieving a rivet-free riveting effect. The mating structure is the mating seat 11 set on the mounting plate 10.
