During use, the design of the first, second, and third moving mechanisms eliminates the need for manual operation in workpiece positioning, avoiding riveting position deviations caused by differences in operator skill, thus significantly improving riveting accuracy and consistency. The fixing mechanism and design allow for quick fixing or disassembly between the device and the riveting machine without the need for bolts and nuts, simplifying operation, saving time, and improving work efficiency.

Under the constraint of the two first sliding rods 6 and the two first sliders 7, the mounting base 2 is moved back and forth along the top of the base 1 by the first lead screw nut 9.

[0023] In this embodiment, the second moving mechanism includes four first support plates 12, which are respectively fixed at the four corners of the top of the mounting base 2. The inner sidewalls of two first support plates 12 located on the same side are fixed with the same second slide rod 13. The sidewalls of the two second slide rods 13 are each fitted with a second slider 14, and the two second sliders 14 are fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 3. The middle of both ends of the top of the mounting base 2 are fixed with second support plates 15. The inner sidewalls of the two second support plates 15 are rotatably connected with the same second lead screw 16. The sidewalls of the second lead screw 16 are fitted with a second lead screw nut 17, and the second lead screw nut 17 is adapted to the second lead screw 16.

Under the constraint of the two second slide rods 13 and the two second sliders 14, the connecting plate 3 is moved left and right along the top of the mounting base 2 by the second lead screw nut 17.

[0024] In this embodiment, the third moving mechanism includes two third support plates 22, which are symmetrically fixed to one end of the top of the connecting plate 3. The inner sidewalls of the two third support plates 22 are rotatably connected to the same bidirectional lead screw 23. The sidewalls of the bidirectional lead screw 23 are symmetrically fitted with two third lead screw nuts 24, and both third lead screw nuts 24 are adapted to the bidirectional lead screw 23.

[0025] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes two electromagnets 11. Two grooves are provided at the bottom of the base 1. The two electromagnets 11 are fixed on the inner sidewalls of the two electromagnets 11 respectively. When the two electromagnets 11 are energized, a magnetic field is generated around them, making the surface of the two electromagnets 11 magnetic. This allows the base 1 to be firmly attached to the operating platform of the riveting machine. Later, the two electromagnets 11 only need to be de-energized, and the magnetism on the surface of the two electromagnets 11 will disappear, making the entire device easy to remove without the need for bolts and nuts to lock it. The operation is simple and easy to install and disassemble.

[0026] Working Principle: During use, the entire device is placed on the operating platform of the riveting machine, and the power switches of the two electromagnets 11 are turned on. When the two electromagnets 11 are energized, a magnetic field is generated around them, making their surfaces magnetic. This allows the base 1 to be firmly attached to the operating platform of the riveting machine. Later, simply de-energize the two electromagnets 11, and the magnetism on their surfaces disappears, allowing the entire device to be easily removed without the need for bolts and nuts for locking. The operation is simple and easy to install and disassemble. After installation, the workpiece is placed on top of the connecting plate 3, and the power switch of the third motor 25 is turned on. The third motor 25 drives the bidirectional lead screw 23 to rotate. This, along with the two third lead screw nuts 24 and the two third sliders 20, causes the two clamping plates 21 to move closer together, which in turn causes the four triangular blocks 26 to move closer together in pairs, thus clamping the workpiece. After fixing, when the position of the workpiece needs to be adjusted, the power switch of the first motor 4 is turned on, driving the first motor 4 to rotate the first lead screw 10. Under the constraint of the two first slide rods 6 and the two first sliders 7, the first lead screw nut 9 drives the mounting base 2 to move back and forth along the top of the base 1. At the same time, the power switch of the second motor 18 is turned on, driving the second motor 18 to rotate the second lead screw 16. Under the constraint of the two second slide rods 13 and the two second sliders 14, the second lead screw nut 17 drives the connecting plate 3 to move left and right along the top of the mounting base 2. That is, the connecting plate 3 can move in the front, back, left and right directions, thus allowing the workpiece to move in any direction. During the process, no manual positioning is required, which can maintain a completely consistent positioning of the workpiece, avoid deviations in the riveting position, thereby increasing the overall quality and consistency of the product and reducing the risk of rework and scrap.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
