Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a riveting machine, and more particularly to a riveting machine for forming the top cover and middle shell of an electronic water pump.

[0003] Existing electronic water pumps typically include a top cover, pump casing, middle casing, shaft core, rotor assembly, stator assembly, circuit board assembly, etc. The top cover, pump casing, and middle casing are combined and fixed together to form a chamber. The two ends of the shaft core are fixed to the top cover and the pump casing, respectively. The rotor assembly is supported by the shaft core in the chamber between the top cover and the pump casing. The stator assembly is located outside the chamber and can magnetically drive the rotor assembly to rotate in the chamber between the top cover and the pump casing, thereby driving the water flow through the impeller on the rotor assembly, so that the water flows in a directional manner.
