[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0034] like Figures 1-4As shown, a riveting device for an X-turn intermediate slot cover includes a frame 1, a table 15 fixedly mounted on the frame 1, a protective box 2 fixedly mounted on the top surface of the table 15, and a mounting frame 10 fixedly mounted on the table 15 inside the protective box 2. The protective box 2 can protect the equipment and reduce external interference. The mounting frame 10 is equipped with a sliding frame 13, an upper stop block 18, and a detection device 28. The sliding frame 13 is located between the upper stop block 18 and the detection device 28. A cylinder 27 is mounted on the mounting frame 10 above the sliding frame 13. A pressure sensor 32 is installed at the output end of the cylinder 27. The sliding frame 13 is connected to the cylinder via the pressure sensor 32. 2 is connected to cylinder 27. The sliding frame 13 is also equipped with riveting mold 14 and displacement sensor 25. The input end of displacement sensor 25 is connected to frame 1. Riveting mold 14 is located at the bottom of sliding frame 13. The mounting frame 10 below riveting mold 14 is equipped with positioning seat 16. The positioning seat 16 is equipped with lower stop block 17. Lower stop block 17 is located below upper stop block 18. The detection device 28 is equipped with side push rod 23. Side push rod 23 is slidably connected to mounting frame 10. Side push rod 23 is equipped with upper push block 26 and lower push block 24. Upper push block 26 is opposite to upper stop block 18, and lower push block 24 is opposite to lower stop block 17.

[0035] The protective box 2 is also equipped with a top light 8, a side light 9 and a controller 5. The top light 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the protective box 2 above the mounting bracket 10. The side light 9 is fixedly installed on a set of opposite inner walls of the protective box 2. The top light 8 and the side light 9 can provide illumination. The controller 5 is hinged to the outer wall of the protective box 2. The controller 5 can be used to control the equipment.

[0036] On the frame 1 below the table 15, there is also a discharge chute 6, an electrical box 3, and a triplet 4. The discharge chute 6 can quickly realize the flow of workpieces. The distance from the output end of the discharge chute 6 to the table 15 is greater than the distance from the input end. The output end of the discharge chute 6 is also equipped with a counter 7, which can count the processed workpieces. The electrical box 3 is connected to the controller 5 and supplies power to the controller 5. The output end of the triplet 4 is connected to the cylinder 27, and the input end is connected to the external air source. The triplet 4 can filter the air source connected to the equipment.

[0037] Specifically, a longitudinal rail 11 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 10, and a longitudinal slider 12 is installed on the longitudinal rail 11. The sliding frame 13 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal slider 12. A bracket 31 is installed on the mounting frame 10 above the longitudinal rail 11. The cylinder 27 is fixed on the bracket 31. A mounting plate 19 is also installed on the mounting frame 10. A transverse rail 21 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 19. A transverse slider 22 is installed on the transverse rail 21. The side push rod 23 is connected to the transverse slider 22. A handle 20 is also installed on the mounting plate 19. The handle 20 is hinged to the mounting plate 19. A stabilizing block 34 is installed on the mounting plate 19 on one side of the handle 20. A connecting frame 33 is slidably installed on the stabilizing block 34 and is connected to the handle 20. This can improve the stability of the sliding frame 13 and the side push rod 23 when they move.

[0038] Specifically, a protective cover 29 is also provided on the outside of the detection device 28. The protective cover 29 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 10, which can protect the detection device 28.

[0039] Specifically, a limit sensor 30 is provided on the mounting bracket 10. The limit sensor 30 is located below the sliding bracket 13 and its output end is opposite to the sliding bracket 13, so that the limit distance of the sliding bracket 13 can be controlled.

[0040] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: Before use, the equipment is adjusted to the initial state. At this time, the cylinder 27 shortens, causing the sliding frame 13 to drive the riveting mold 14 to move to the upper limit position, so that the riveting mold 14 is away from the positioning seat 16. By rotating the handle 20, the side push rod 23 is pulled back by the connecting frame 33, so that the lower push block 24 is away from the lower stop block 17.

[0041] During operation, the operator places the workpiece to be riveted onto the positioning seat 16, ensuring it aligns with the lower stop 17 and upper stop 18. Then, the operator rotates the handle 20, which pushes the transverse slider 22 along the transverse rail 21 via the connecting frame 33. This causes the side push rod 23 to move closer to the positioning seat 16. The upper push block 26 and lower push block 24 on the side push rod 23, in conjunction with the upper stop 18 and lower stop 17, secure the workpiece. The operator then connects the air passage of the cylinder 27, causing it to extend. The cylinder 27 then pushes the sliding frame 13 downwards. As the sliding frame 13 moves downwards, it causes the longitudinal slider 12 to move downwards along the slide rail. This interaction between the slider and the slide rail improves the stability of the sliding components, ensuring accuracy. When the sliding frame 13 moves the riveting mold 14 downward, the riveting mold 14 will contact the workpiece and rivet it. At the same time, the pressure sensor 32 will monitor the riveting pressure to prevent excessive pressure from damaging the workpiece. The input end of the displacement sensor 25 is connected to the mounting frame 10, so the displacement sensor 25 can monitor the moving distance of the sliding frame 13 when it moves. After the riveting is completed, the cylinder 27 will shorten and move the sliding frame 13 upward, and the riveting mold 14 will separate from the workpiece. At this time, the detection device 28 will detect the surface of the workpiece to prevent defects from appearing on the surface of the workpiece.

[0042] After riveting is completed, the operator turns the handle 20 again, causing the side push rod 23 to move the upper push block 26 and the lower push block 24 away from the workpiece. Then the workpiece is removed from the positioning seat 16 and placed into the input end of the discharge chute 6. The riveted workpiece will slide along the discharge chute 6 and slide out from the output end of the discharge chute 6 to enter other processes for processing. Moreover, the workpiece will be detected when it passes through the counter 7, thereby counting the riveted workpieces.

[0043] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
