Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rivet placement fixture technology, specifically relating to a fixture that facilitates quick placement of rivets. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, rivets are generally placed manually when riveting hardware products. However, due to the structural limitations of many products, the rivet placement area is relatively small, which is inconvenient for personnel to operate. This results in problems such as rivets not being placed properly or being missed, ultimately leading to high defect rates, low production efficiency, and high manufacturing costs. Therefore, for hardware products with relatively small rivet placement areas, it is necessary to improve the tooling for placing rivets. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tooling that facilitates quick placement of rivets, thereby solving the aforementioned problems in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A tooling for quick placement of rivets includes a rivet placement tray, a rivet picking and placing tool, and a product fixing fixture for securing the product. The upper end of the rivet placement tray has multiple rivet limiting holes, and the shank of the rivet can be matched and inserted into the rivet limiting holes. The rivet picking and placing tool has a rod-shaped structure, and one end of the rivet picking and placing tool is fixed with a picking and placing magnet, which is used to attract the head of the rivet and install the rivet onto the product.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, all the rivet limiting holes are arranged in a rectangular array or a ring array on the upper end of the rivet placement plate.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a ring magnet is fixed in each rivet limiting hole, and the shank of the rivet is matched and inserted into the ring magnet. The magnetic pole at the upper end of the ring magnet is the same as the magnetic pole at the end of the rivet attracted by the pick-up and put-down magnet.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, one end of the rivet picking and placing tool is provided with a first protrusion protruding to one side, and the picking and placing magnet is installed at the end of the first protrusion.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the end of the first protrusion is provided with a rivet limiting groove, and the pick-and-place magnet is embedded in the inner bottom surface of the rivet limiting groove. When the pick-and-place magnet attracts the rivet, the head of the rivet is set in the rivet limiting groove.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the rivet limiting groove is a flared structure with the opening gradually decreasing from the outside to the inside.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the other end of the rivet picking and placing tool is also provided with a first protrusion on one side, and the end of the first protrusion is also equipped with a picking and placing magnet.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, at least one set of product positioning components is installed on the upper end of the product fixing fixture. The product positioning components include two clamping blocks, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the product fixing fixture and clamp the product. Each clamping block has an elongated hole extending along the width direction of the product fixing fixture. A bolt is installed in each elongated hole. The threaded part of the bolt passes through the elongated hole and is threadedly connected to the product fixing fixture. The nut part of the bolt presses the clamping block against the product fixing fixture.
[0013] Beneficial effects: Before installing rivets, this invention allows a large number of rivets to be scattered on a rivet placement tray, making it easy for the rivet shanks to be inserted into the rivet positioning holes. This enables the rapid installation of a large number of rivets on the tray, facilitating the removal of rivets by a rivet removal tool. The rivet removal tool has a rod-shaped structure for easy handling, and one end is fixed with a magnet, allowing for easy manipulation of the magnet to magnetically attract and install rivets onto the product. This eliminates the need to place hands in the relatively confined space of the hardware product, ensuring easy and accurate rivet installation, reducing missed rivets, and thereby improving production efficiency, yield, and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0019] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the present utility model will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on this utility model.
[0020] Example:
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a tooling for quick and easy placement of rivets, including a rivet placement tray 1, a rivet picking and placing tool 2, and a product fixing fixture 4 for fixing the product 3. When installing rivets 5, the product 3 is first fixed on the product fixing fixture 4 to ensure the stability of the product 3, making it easier to install rivets 5 on the product 3. The upper end of the rivet placement tray 1 has multiple rivet limiting holes 101, and the shank of the rivet 5 can be matched and inserted into the rivet limiting holes 101. In practice, a large number of rivets 5 can be scattered on the rivet placement tray. 1. This allows the shank of the rivet 5 to be easily inserted into the rivet limiting hole 101, quickly installing a large number of rivets 5 on the rivet placement tray 1. The rivet picking and placing tool 2 has a rod-shaped structure for easy handling. One end of the rivet picking and placing tool 2 is fixed with a picking and placing magnet 201, which allows the picking and placing magnet 201 to be manipulated through the rivet picking and placing tool 2. The magnet 201 is used to attract the head of the rivet 5 and install the rivet 5 onto the product 3. This eliminates the need to place the hand in a relatively narrow position on the hardware product, thus easily installing the rivet 5 and reducing the possibility of missing any rivets.
[0022] Before installing the rivets 5, this invention allows a large number of rivets 5 to be scattered on the rivet placement tray 1, so that the shank of the rivet 5 can be easily inserted into the rivet limiting hole 101. This enables the rapid installation of a large number of rivets 5 on the rivet placement tray 1, facilitating the removal of the rivets 5 by the rivet removal tool 2. The rivet removal tool 2 has a rod-shaped structure for easy handling. One end of the rivet removal tool 2 is fixed with a removal magnet 201, which allows the rivet removal tool 2 to manipulate the removal magnet 201 to magnetically attract the rivets 5 and install them onto the product 3. This eliminates the need to place hands in relatively confined spaces on the hardware product, thus easily installing the rivets 5, reducing the chance of missing any rivets, thereby improving production efficiency and yield, and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that all the rivet limiting holes 101 are arranged in a rectangular array or a circular array on the upper end of the rivet placement plate 1, preferably in a rectangular array, so that the rivets 5 are evenly distributed on the rivet placement plate 1, making it convenient for the rivet picking and placing tool 2 to pick up the rivets 5 in sequence, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0024] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that each rivet limiting hole 101 is fixed with a ring magnet, and the shank of the rivet 5 is matched and inserted into the ring magnet, which facilitates easy installation of the rivet 5 and ensures the stability of the rivet 5. The magnetic pole at the upper end of the ring magnet is the same as the magnetic pole at the end of the pick-and-place magnet 201 that attracts the rivet 5. In this way, when the pick-and-place magnet 201 is brought close to the rivet 5 on the rivet placement tray 1 by the rivet pick-and-place tool 2, a repulsive force is formed between the pick-and-place magnet 201 and the ring magnet, which makes it easier for the rivet 5 to be attracted to the pick-and-place magnet 201. In practice, the distance between the upper end of the ring magnet and the head of the rivet 5 can also be controlled, thereby controlling the attraction force of the ring magnet on the rivet 5. In this way, as the pick-and-place magnet 201 approaches the ring magnet, the attraction force of the pick-and-place magnet 201 on the rivet 5 can be made greater than the attraction force of the ring magnet on the rivet 5 at a certain point, ensuring that the rivet 5 can be attracted to the pick-and-place magnet 201.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that one end of the rivet picking and placing tool 2 is provided with a first protrusion 202 protruding to one side, and the picking and placing magnet 201 is installed at the end of the first protrusion 202. In this way, after the picking and placing magnet 201 attracts the rivet 5, it is more convenient to make the rivet 5 stand out, which facilitates the installation of the rivet 5.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that the end of the first protrusion 202 is provided with a rivet limiting groove, and the pick-up and put-out magnet 201 is embedded in the inner bottom surface of the rivet limiting groove to ensure the stability of the pick-up and put-out magnet 201. When the pick-up and put-out magnet 201 attracts the rivet 5, the head of the rivet 5 is set in the rivet limiting groove, which can further enhance the stability of the rivet 5. At the same time, when the pick-up and put-out magnet 201 attracts the rivet 5, it ensures that the rivet 5 is always in a fixed position, which facilitates the installation of the rivet 5 on the product 3.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that the rivet limiting groove is a flared structure with the opening gradually decreasing from the outside to the inside. When the magnet 201 picks up the rivet 5, it is more convenient to align the magnet 201 with the rivet 5. When installing the rivet 5 on the product 3, it is convenient to move the rivet picking tool 2 to one side, so that the rivet 5 can easily be removed from the rivet picking tool 2, making the installation of the rivet 5 easier and improving work efficiency.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that the other end of the rivet picking and placing tool 2 is also provided with a first protrusion 202 on one side, and a picking and placing magnet 201 is also installed at the end of the first protrusion 202. Similarly, preferably, the end of the first protrusion 202 is provided with a rivet limiting groove, and the picking and placing magnet 201 is embedded in the inner bottom surface of the rivet limiting groove. When the picking and placing magnet 201 attracts the rivet 5, the head of the rivet 5 is placed in the rivet limiting groove. More preferably, the rivet limiting groove is a flared structure with the opening gradually decreasing from the outside to the inside. In this way, both ends of the rivet picking and placing tool 2 are provided with picking and placing magnets 201, so only one end can be used during operation, or both ends can be used to attract the rivet 5 at the same time. When installing the rivet 5, it is only necessary to turn the rivet picking and placing tool 2 around.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, it should be further explained that at least one set of product positioning components is installed on the upper end of the product fixing fixture 4. Depending on the actual situation, one set or two sets can be set, without specific limitations. The product positioning components include two clamping blocks 6, which are respectively set on both sides of the product fixing fixture 4 and clamp the product 3 to ensure the stability of the product 3. Each clamping block 6 has an elongated hole extending along the width direction of the product fixing fixture 4. A bolt 7 is installed in each elongated hole. The threaded part of the bolt 7 passes through the elongated hole and is threadedly connected to the product fixing fixture 4. The nut part of the bolt 7 presses the clamping block 6 against the product fixing fixture 4 to ensure the stability of the clamping block 6. Preferably, each clamping block 6 has two elongated holes, so that the stability of the clamping block 6 can be further enhanced by using two bolts 7.
[0030] It should be noted that, preferably, the elongated hole can be a stepped hole, with the upper part of the elongated hole being wider and the lower part being narrower, so that a step is formed between the two, which can also tighten the nut part of the bolt 7 against the step.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
