Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and more specifically, to a fully automatic riveting and dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] The assembly process of industrial products is often not completed through a single step, nor can all operations be completed on a single machine. Therefore, combining or integrating interconnected equipment into a single machine to form an assembly line that improves processing efficiency is a common production method for the processing and production of any industrial product. This method also overcomes, to some extent, the drawbacks of relying solely on manual labor, such as high labor intensity, low production efficiency, high production costs, and increased equipment footprint.

[0003] The technical solution of this utility model involves equipment processing steps including gluing and riveting between wires and connectors, which are part of the processing and assembly process. It also involves necessary assembly steps for such industrial products.

[0004] For example, CN107995580B discloses an automatic glue-dispensing and riveting machine and a method for assembling a washer and a basin frame. The automatic glue-dispensing and riveting machine includes a frame; a turntable assembly, including a turntable mounted on the frame and a drive device for rotating the turntable, with several fixtures for fixing the washer spaced apart along the circumference of the turntable; a first dispensing assembly for dispensing glue onto the connection surface between the washer and the basin frame; a riveting assembly for riveting the bonded washer and basin frame assembly; a second dispensing assembly for dispensing glue onto the riveting points of the washer and basin frame; a feeding assembly for transferring the assembled washer and basin frame onto a conveyor belt; and a transfer assembly for transferring un-glued washer to the previous fixture. The riveting assembly, second dispensing assembly, feeding assembly, transfer assembly, and first dispensing assembly are correspondingly arranged with the fixtures. However, although this device achieves automatic riveting and dispensing, its complex structure, large space occupation, and unreasonable layout result in significant limitations. In addition, since the workpiece is usually stuck in the tooling after riveting, it is easy to damage or deform the workpiece by directly pulling it out by the robot, which seriously affects the yield of the workpiece. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a fully automatic riveting and dispensing device.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

Furthermore, the riveting and adhesive application structures are highly integrated, reducing space requirements and resulting in a more rational layout, compact structure, and wide applicability.

[0018] 2. The cooperation between the slide rail and the slider can improve the smoothness of the trapezoidal block's movement. In addition, the trapezoidal block can drive the truncated cone to move upward, thereby lifting the workpiece through the lifting plate. This operation is simple, convenient, stable, and reliable. Compared with existing technologies, it can eliminate the possibility of workpiece damage from being pulled, greatly improving the yield rate.

[0019] 3. When the frustum abuts against the support column, the lifting plate can support and limit the column, preventing the column from damaging the carrier and extending its service life. Additionally, the spring design allows the slide rod to promptly return to its original position after lifting the workpiece, making it ready for the next workpiece load and greatly improving work efficiency.

[0020] 4. The position of the mounting plate can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the locking bolts, which greatly improves convenience. At the same time, the guide rail and guide block work together to ensure the smooth movement of the moving block, thereby enabling the magnet to accurately rivet the rivets and improve the riveting yield.
