[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model provides an automated riveting station for automotive body-in-white, comprising a base 1, a fixed frame 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a hydraulic rod 3 fixedly connected inside the fixed frame 2, a limiting plate 4 fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod 3, a limiting block 5 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the limiting plate 4, a limiting strip 6 slidably connected inside the limiting block 5, the upper surface of the limiting strip 6 fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the fixed frame 2, a sliding shaft 7 slidably connected inside the limiting plate 4, a sliding plate 8 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding shaft 7, a limiting strip 9 slidably connected inside the sliding plate 8, the outer wall of the limiting strip 9 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 2, a riveting head 10 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding plate 8, and a drive assembly disposed inside the base 1.

[0025] Specifically, the base 1 fixes the fixing frame 2, which in turn fixes the hydraulic rod 3. Activating the hydraulic rod 3 causes the limiting plate 4 to slide, which in turn causes the limiting block 5 to slide on the outer wall of the limiting strip 6. The limiting strip 6 limits the limiting block 5. The limiting plate 4 causes the sliding shaft 7 to slide, and the limiting plate 4 has a groove inside that limits the sliding shaft 7. The sliding shaft 7 causes the sliding plate 8 to slide on the outer wall of the limiting strip 9, which limits the sliding plate 8. The sliding plate 8 causes the riveting head 10 to move, achieving an automatic riveting effect.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 The drive assembly includes a motor 11, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the base 1, and a lead screw 12 is fixedly provided at the output end of the motor 11, the outer wall of which is rotatably connected to the inside of the base 1.

[0027] Specifically, the base 1 fixes the motor 11, and starting the motor 11 can drive the lead screw 12 to rotate. The base 1 supports the lead screw 12.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer wall of the lead screw 12 is threaded with a connecting block 13. The outer wall of the connecting block 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the base 1. The upper surface of the connecting block 13 is fixedly connected with a sliding table 14. The inside of the sliding table 14 is slidably connected with a guide rail 16. The lower surface of the guide rail 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. The inside of the sliding table 14 is slidably connected with a riveting table 15. The lower surface of the riveting table 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1.

[0029] Specifically, the rotation of the lead screw 12 can drive the connecting block 13 to slide inside the base 1. The connecting block 13 can drive the sliding table 14 to slide. The sliding table 14 can slide stably on the outer wall of the guide rail 16. The guide rail 16 plays a limiting role for the sliding table 14. The sliding table 14 can play a role in transporting the car body by sliding on the upper surface of the riveting table 15.

[0030] Reference Figure 5 A support plate 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding table 14. An electric telescopic rod 18 is fixedly connected to the inside of the support plate 17. A connecting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 18. A limit strip 20 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate 19. The lower surface of the limit strip 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 17. A sliding shaft 21 is slidably connected to the inside of the connecting plate 19. A pressure plate 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding shaft 21. A rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the inside of the pressure plate 22. A bracket 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 23. The lower surface of the bracket 24 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 17.

[0031] Specifically, the sliding table 14 fixes the support plate 17, which in turn fixes the electric telescopic rod 18. Activating the electric telescopic rod 18 causes the connecting plate 19 to slide on the outer wall of the limiting strip 20, which in turn limits the connecting plate 19. The connecting plate 19 causes the sliding shaft 21 to slide inside it. The connecting plate 19 has a groove inside that limits the sliding shaft 21. The sliding shaft 21 causes the pressure plate 22 to rotate on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 23. The bracket 24 supports the rotating shaft 23, and the pressure plate 22 presses and fixes the vehicle body.

[0032] Working principle: When the riveting station is needed, the car body is first placed on the upper surface of the sliding table 14. By activating the electric telescopic rod 18, the connecting plate 19 can slide on the outer wall of the limiting strip 20, which in turn drives the sliding shaft 21 to slide inside the connecting plate 19. At the same time, the pressure plate 22 rotates on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 23, which in turn drives the pressure plate 22 to press and fix the car body, thereby achieving the effect of stabilizing and limiting the car body, avoiding deviation during riveting, and improving the accuracy of riveting.

[0033] After the car body is fixed, the starting motor 11 drives the lead screw 12 to rotate inside the base 1. While the lead screw 12 rotates, it drives the connecting block 13 to slide inside the base 1, which in turn drives the sliding table 14 to slide on the outer wall of the guide rail 16. At the same time, the sliding table 14 slides on the upper surface of the riveting table 15, achieving the effect of automatically transporting the car body. When the car body is transported to the appropriate position, the hydraulic rod 3 can be started to move the limiting plate 4, which in turn drives the limiting block 5 to slide on the outer wall of the limiting strip 6. While the limiting plate 4 moves, it drives the sliding shaft 7 to slide inside the limiting plate 4, and at the same time drives the sliding plate 8 to slide on the outer wall of the limiting strip 9, which in turn drives the riveting head 10 to rivet the car body, achieving the effect of automated riveting. This riveting device can not only achieve the effect of pressing and fixing the car body, improving the accuracy of riveting, but also achieve the effect of automatic riveting, improving the efficiency of riveting.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
