Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bending machine technology, and in particular relates to a device for riveting and drilling sheet metal using a bending machine. Background Technology
[0002] The manufacturing process of server chassis generally involves laser cutting of metal sheets, riveting nuts and screws onto the metal sheets, bending the metal sheets with a bending machine, and finally, riveting the corresponding metal sheets together to form a complete product. Riveting is a common sheet metal processing technique that involves riveting nuts, screws, and other parts onto metal sheets. External force is used to force the rivet nuts and screws into pre-made grooves, achieving a secure connection between the parts and the metal sheet. In existing technologies, manual or automated riveting tools can often only operate on one riveting position at a time. However, in the manufacturing process of server chassis, a single product has numerous riveting positions, making existing riveting tools extremely inefficient. While some methods use press-fit dies to rivet multiple positions at once, these dies and specialized equipment are not only expensive, but the dies are also only suitable for specific products. With each product iteration and upgrade, new dies need to be customized.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN219724472U discloses a bending machine with sheet metal riveting function, including an upper die, a worktable, and a lower die mounted on the worktable. The upper die has a first mounting base, on which a riveting upper template is detachably connected. The lower die has a second mounting base, on which a bending groove and a riveting lower template are provided. The bottom of the riveting lower template has a first connecting part, which is engaged in the bending groove. The riveting lower template has rivet holes for installing rivets. By utilizing the large worktable of the bending machine, it can simultaneously rivet multiple rivets on larger sheet metal, ensuring both riveting quality and efficiency.
[0004] The aforementioned patented solution can only perform riveting operations on plate-shaped parts, requiring stable support from the bottom surface at the riveting position. However, server chassis often have frame-type or tubular structures, and the aforementioned patented solution cannot provide support for the lower end of the riveting position. Therefore, the aforementioned patented solution cannot be applied to the manufacture of server chassis. Utility Model Content

This device involves setting a pressure rod on the slider of the bending machine and a support rod with one end suspended on the worktable. The support rod extends into the frame or tubular structure to support the lower end of the riveting position. Simultaneously, a movable block is set on the worktable to support the suspended support rod, improving the support strength of the support rod and ensuring riveting quality.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution: a sheet metal riveting and hole-pulling device for processing with a bending machine, comprising: a positioning plate disposed on the worktable of the bending machine; multiple pressure rods disposed on the slider of the bending machine; a spacer block disposed at one end of the positioning plate; a movable block rotatably connected at one end to the other end of the positioning plate; a support rod with the upper end of the spacer block disposed at one end; the movable block selectively abutting against the lower end of the other end of the support rod; two positioning pins longitudinally slidably connected to the upper end of the support rod; a spring for causing the positioning pins to slide upward between the positioning pins and the support rod; and the two positioning pins respectively facing the two pressure rods furthest apart.
[0007] Furthermore, a calibration plate is provided between each of the pressure rods; the calibration plate has multiple through holes; the pressure rod passes through the through holes.
[0008] The calibration plate is manufactured by sheet metal laser cutting or automated machine tools. The manufacturing process is simple and low-cost, and the positional accuracy of the perforations is high. This not only facilitates the installation and positional adjustment of the pressure rod, but also improves the positional accuracy of the pressure rod.
[0009] Furthermore, a needle bar is provided at the lower end of the pressure rod below the calibration plate; an elastic tube is provided on the outer periphery of the needle bar; the lower end of the elastic tube is located below the needle bar; the lower end of the elastic tube can be compressed to above the lower end of the needle bar.
[0010] Preferably, the elastic tube is made of urethane.
[0011] The elastic tube pre-presses the riveting position before riveting begins, improving the stability and quality of the riveting process.
[0012] Optionally, each of the pressure rods is arranged linearly; each of the pressure rods has a mounting block at its upper end; the rear end of the mounting block has an abutment platform that abuts against the lower end of the slider; the front end of the mounting block has a connecting groove, and a clamp is detachably connected to the slider within the connecting groove.
[0013] Optionally, each of the pressure rods is provided with a mounting block at its upper end; the rear end of the mounting block is provided with an abutment platform that abuts against the lower end of the slider; the front end of the mounting block is provided with a connecting groove, and a clamp is detachably connected to the slider within the connecting groove.
[0014] Furthermore, two vertical columns are longitudinally arranged at the upper end of the spacer block; two insertion holes are provided at the lower end of the support rod, and the columns are located in the insertion holes; two countersunk holes are provided at the upper end of the support rod between the two insertion holes; screws in the countersunk holes are tightened onto the spacer block.
[0015] Furthermore, the lower end of the support rod is provided with two stepped through holes; the positioning pin is located in the stepped through holes; a plug is detachably connected to the lower end of the stepped through holes; and the spring is disposed between the upper end of the plug and the lower end of the positioning pin.
[0016] Specifically, the upper end of the support rod is provided with a clearance opening.
[0017] Specifically, a swing arm is provided at one end of the movable block away from its rotation axis; the rotation axis of the movable block is located behind the support rod.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. This utility model modifies an existing bending machine. The bending and riveting processes are often performed in separate steps. The bending machine can perform the bending and riveting processes sequentially, which improves the utilization rate of the bending machine, reduces the idle cost of the bending machine, and thus reduces production costs and improves economic efficiency.
[0020] 2. This utility model can rivet multiple positions at once, which can multiply the production efficiency. The position of the pressure rod is flexible and highly compatible with the riveting position, and has a high degree of versatility.
[0021] 3. This utility model can be applied not only to common plate-type parts, but also to frame-type and tubular parts. The movable block not only facilitates the picking and placing of frame-type and tubular parts, but also provides stable support for the suspended support rod. By improving the stability of the support rod, the riveting quality is guaranteed.
[0022] 4. This utility model is equipped with a positioning pin and an elastic tube. The positioning pin facilitates the placement and alignment adjustment of the workpiece to be processed, facilitates manual operation, and improves the positioning accuracy of the workpiece to be processed. The elastic tube presses and positions the riveting position before riveting begins to prevent displacement, which helps to improve the riveting quality and reduce the defect rate.
