Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of riveting machine technology, specifically a vertical riveting machine. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, riveting machines are widely used as important joining and processing equipment in riveting operations of metal sheets, parts, and other components. By applying a certain pressure, they firmly press rivets or other connecting parts onto the workpiece, thereby achieving a reliable connection between different components. They play an indispensable role in many industries such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, and electronic equipment assembly.
[0003] Conventional vertical riveting machines typically have a cabinet structure to support the main body of the equipment. A riveting mechanism is located above the cabinet to perform the riveting action. To ensure the stable placement of the workpiece during the riveting process, a corresponding support structure is provided at the front of the cabinet to support and position the workpiece. However, in actual production operations, these support structures often have certain limitations.
[0004] On the one hand, the height of traditional support structures is mostly fixed, making it difficult to adjust flexibly according to workpieces of different thicknesses and specifications. When the dimensions of the workpieces to be processed vary, the existing support structure may not be able to provide a suitable support height, resulting in uneven stress on the workpiece during the riveting process. This not only affects the riveting accuracy but may also increase the risk of workpiece deformation and damage, thereby reducing production quality and efficiency.
[0005] On the other hand, the bearing surface design of some support structures is relatively simple and lacks effective anti-slip measures. During riveting operations, the workpiece may experience slight displacement or slippage under pressure, especially for smooth metal workpieces, where this slippage is more pronounced. This not only affects the accuracy of the riveting position but may also cause scratches and damage to the workpiece surface, and even create safety hazards, adversely impacting the stability and safety of production operations.
[0006] In addition, traditional support structures have poor versatility and adaptability. When faced with different types and shapes of workpieces, it is often necessary to replace them with special support components. This not only increases the cost of using the equipment and the complexity of operation, but also reduces the flexibility and efficiency of production operations, making it difficult to meet the diversified and efficient processing needs of modern industrial production.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-3 In this embodiment of the utility model, a vertical riveting machine includes a cabinet 1 as its basic load-bearing component, providing stable support for the entire device. At the upper end of the cabinet 1, a riveting device 2 for performing riveting operations is installed. This riveting device 2 has a riveting head 16 and a matching riveting base 17, which work together to complete the riveting action on the workpiece. Simultaneously, to provide stable support for the workpiece during the riveting process, support components corresponding to the riveting device 2 are installed on both sides of the front end of the cabinet 1. Through the coordinated action of these support components, the workpiece maintains the correct position and posture during riveting.
[0032] The support assembly consists of a first connector 3, a second connector 4, and a third connector 10, with each component functionally coordinated through a specific connection method. The first connector 3 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 1. To further enhance the stability of the connection between the first connector 3 and the cabinet 1, a reinforcing rib is provided between the first connector 3 and the cabinet 1. One end of the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first connector 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the front face of the cabinet 1. This structural design effectively distributes the force borne by the first connector 3, preventing loosening of the connection after long-term use.
[0033] A groove 5 is formed along the length of the first connector 3, and the second connector 4 is slidably embedded in the groove 5. This sliding fit allows the second connector 4 to slide up and down relative to the first connector 3, thereby adjusting its vertical height relative to the riveting device 2. In this way, when dealing with workpieces of different thicknesses and specifications, the operator can adjust the height of the second connector 4 to ensure that the subsequent components supporting the workpiece form a suitable support relationship, guaranteeing uniform stress on the workpiece during the riveting process.
[0034] To ensure the second connector 4 is properly positioned and fixed relative to the first connector 3, a first elongated hole 6 is provided on the side of the first connector 3, and a second elongated hole 7 corresponding to the position of the first elongated hole 6 is provided on the side of the second connector 4. The support assembly is also equipped with a locking bolt 8, which passes through both the first and second elongated holes 6 and is screwed with a locking nut 9. Once the height of the second connector 4 is adjusted to the correct position, the operator simply needs to tighten the locking nut 9. The locking bolt 8 and the locking nut 9 will then secure the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 together, preventing the second connector 4 from shifting due to external forces during the riveting process.
[0035] The top of the second connector 4 is detachably connected to the third connector 10. This design facilitates the replacement of different third connectors 10 according to different workpiece requirements. Specifically, the connection structure is as follows: a T-shaped slide rail 13 is horizontally provided on the top side of the second connector 4. The third connector 10 is generally H-shaped, with a sliding engagement portion 14 at its bottom end that matches the T-shaped slide rail 13, and a support portion 11 at its top end for directly supporting the workpiece. This support portion 11 extends horizontally to provide sufficient bearing area. The sliding engagement portion 14 is slidably embedded in the T-shaped slide rail 13. By pushing the third connector 10, it can slide horizontally along the T-shaped slide rail 13, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the support portion 11 to adapt to the support requirements of workpieces of different sizes and improve the versatility of the support assembly.
[0036] To prevent the third connector 10 from sliding relative to the second connector 4 after it has been adjusted into position, a locking screw 15 is connected to the outer side of the second connector 4. Correspondingly, the outer side of the second connector 4 has a threaded hole communicating with the T-shaped slide rail 13. The locking screw 15 is threaded into this threaded hole, and its end extends into the T-shaped slide rail 13, abutting against the sliding engagement portion 14 of the third connector 10. After the third connector 10 is properly positioned, the operator tightens the locking screw 15, using the pressure of the screw end on the sliding engagement portion 14 to press and fix it within the T-shaped slide rail 13, ensuring the stability of the support portion 11 during the riveting process.
[0037] On the surface of the support portion 11 of the third connector 10, an anti-slip pad layer 12 is provided. This anti-slip pad layer 12 is made of rubber and has anti-slip texture on its surface. The rubber material itself has a certain elasticity and friction, which, combined with the anti-slip texture on the surface, can further increase the friction between the support portion 11 and the workpiece. This effectively prevents the workpiece from sliding or shifting due to pressure during the riveting process, ensuring the accuracy of the riveting position, and also preventing scratches or damage to the workpiece surface due to sliding.
[0038] During actual riveting operations, the support portion 11 of the third connector 10 corresponds to and engages with the riveting base 17 of the riveting device 2. The operator places the workpiece on the support portion 11, aligning the workpiece's riveting position with the corresponding positions of the riveting head 16 and the riveting base 17. Then, the riveting device 2 is activated, causing the riveting head 16 to move downwards and engage with the riveting base 17 to complete the riveting action on the workpiece. Through the multi-dimensional adjustment function and stable support effect of the support components, the accuracy and efficiency of riveting operations can be significantly improved, better meeting the processing needs of different workpieces.
[0039] In summary, the sliding fit structure between the second connector 4 and the first connector 3 allows for flexible adjustment of the vertical height of the support assembly relative to the riveting device 2, meeting the support requirements of workpieces of different thicknesses and specifications. This avoids uneven stress on the workpiece caused by unsuitable support height, thus improving riveting accuracy and workpiece processing quality. The third connector 10, through the sliding fit between the T-shaped slide rail 13 and the second connector 4, allows for adjustment of the horizontal position of the support part 11. Combined with its detachable design, it facilitates the replacement of the appropriate third connector 10 for different types and shapes of workpieces, reducing the need to replace the dedicated support part 11, lowering operating costs and complexity, and enhancing the equipment's adaptability to diverse processing requirements. The rubber anti-slip pad layer 12 and anti-slip texture on the surface of the support part 11 effectively increase friction with the workpiece, preventing workpiece slippage or displacement during riveting. This ensures the accuracy of the riveting position, avoids scratches or damage to the workpiece surface caused by slippage, and reduces safety hazards caused by workpiece displacement.
