Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parts processing technology, and in particular to a pneumatic riveting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A pneumatic riveting machine is a riveting device powered by compressed air. It uses axial pressure and rotational power provided by pneumatic components to drive the riveting head to spin the rivet inserted into the pre-drilled hole of the workpiece, causing plastic deformation at the end of the rivet, thereby firmly splicing workpieces such as sheet metal. It is widely used in automobile manufacturing, hardware processing and other fields, and features convenient operation and high efficiency.

[0003] Most pneumatic riveting machines first align two plates, then insert rivets into pre-drilled holes in the workpiece and fix them with a positioning fixture. At this point, the rivet head is moved axially downwards, close to the rivet end, and initial pressure is applied. Then, the pneumatic motor starts to drive the rivet head to rotate. Under the action of pressure and rotational force, the rivet end is upset outwards, gradually filling the mold cavity of the rivet head and tightly pressing the workpiece surface, ultimately forming a rivet head that matches the shape of the rivet head, thus achieving a fixed connection of the workpiece. However, this requires first activating the fixing fixture to fix the plates before performing the riveting operation. The operation process is cumbersome, inefficient, and the coordination between the fixture and the riveting is poor, making it prone to positioning deviations. Furthermore, it has poor adaptability to thin-walled workpieces and is prone to workpiece damage.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new pneumatic riveting machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a pneumatic riveting machine.

[0010] Preferably, the outer ring of the loading column has multiple sliding holes, and the inner wall of the sliding holes is slidably connected to a limiting plate. The bottom end of the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the sliding rod.

[0011] Preferably, the adjacent sides of the two sliding blocks are fixedly connected to the distant sides of the two connecting blocks, the outer side of the fixing rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the front sliding block, and the outer side of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the rear sliding block.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the pneumatic riveting machine provided by this utility model has the following advantages: This invention uses a servo motor, bevel gear set, and threaded rod to adjust the height of the carrying column. The servo motor drives the active bevel gear, which in turn drives the driven bevel gear to rotate the threaded rod.

A pressure plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the multiple sliding rods 15 to apply initial pressure and pre-press and fix the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from shifting during subsequent riveting. A through hole 18 is opened at the axis of the pressure plate 17. Multiple sliding holes 20 are opened inside the outer ring of the carrying column 11. A limit plate 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 20. The bottom end of the limit plate 19 is fixedly connected to the top end of the sliding rod 15 to ensure the stability of the movement of the sliding rod 15. The sliding block 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the receiving support block 8. The adjacent side of the two sliding blocks 21 is fixedly connected to the distant side of the two connecting blocks 10. The interior of the front receiving support block 8 is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 22, and the interior of the rear receiving support block 8 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 23. The exterior of the fixing rod 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the front sliding block 21, and the exterior of the threaded rod 23 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the rear sliding block 21. The bottom end of the rear receiving support block 8 is provided with a movable chamber 24. The drive assembly is installed inside the movable chamber 24. The drive assembly includes a driven bevel gear 25, the top of which is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the movable chamber 24 to ensure stability. A driving bevel gear 26 is rotatably connected to the rear inner wall of the movable chamber 24. A servo motor 27 is installed on the rear side of the top of the placement plate 2. The top axis of the driven bevel gear 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom axis of the threaded rod 23. The driven bevel gear 25 and the driving bevel gear 26 are meshed. The drive end of the servo motor 27 is fixedly connected to the rear axis of the driving bevel gear 26.

[0020] The working principle of the pneumatic riveting machine provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the operator aligns the workpieces such as plates to be riveted, inserts the rivets into the pre-drilled holes in the workpieces, and places the workpieces in the placement mold 3 on the placement plate 2 at the top of the workbench 1. The mounting holes 5 of the symmetrical assembly plate 4 outside the placement mold 3 are used to initially fix the workpieces with the tightening components. The bolts 6 of the tightening components are inserted into the mounting holes 5 and then connected by the threaded nuts 7 to initially limit the placement mold 3 and the workpieces, so that the workpieces are in a relatively stable initial position on the placement plate 2, in preparation for subsequent precise riveting. When the height of the support column 11 needs to be adjusted to accommodate the riveting requirements of workpieces of different thicknesses, the drive assembly is activated. In the drive assembly, the servo motor 27 rotates, driving the active bevel gear 26 to rotate. Because the active bevel gear 26 meshes with the driven bevel gear 25, and the top of the driven bevel gear 25 is fixed to the bottom of the threaded rod 23, the rotation of the driven bevel gear 25 will cause the threaded rod 23 to rotate within the movable chamber 24 of the receiving block 8. The sliding block 21 in the rear receiving block 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 23, and the sliding block 21 in the front receiving block 8 is slidably connected to the fixed rod 22. When the threaded rod 23 rotates, the rear sliding block 21 moves axially along the threaded rod 23, simultaneously causing the front sliding block 21 to slide along the fixed rod 22. This causes the two connecting blocks 10 to slide on the inner wall of the receiving block 8, ultimately moving the support column 11 up and down for adjustment. When the working head 14 is at a suitable height, it can accurately approach the end of the rivet during subsequent riveting operations. At the same time, the sliding rod 15 on the inner wall of the bottom end of the support column 11, under the action of the strong spring 16, pushes the pressure plate 17 downward. The through hole 18 at the axis of the pressure plate 17 facilitates the working head 14 to pass through and contact the rivet. The pressure plate 17 first contacts the surface of the workpiece, applies initial pressure, and further pre-presses and fixes the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from shifting during subsequent riveting. At this time, the strong spring 16 will be compressed due to the pressure of the pressure plate 17. The limiting plate 19 at the top of the sliding rod 15 slides in the sliding hole 20 on the outer ring of the support column 11 to ensure the stability of the movement of the sliding rod 15. Then the drive motor 13 starts, and its drive end is fixed to the top of the connecting handle 12, driving the connecting handle 12 to rotate. The working head 14 at the bottom end of the connecting handle 12 rotates accordingly, providing rotational power for riveting. As the drive motor 13 continues to drive the working head 14 to rotate, the working head 14 contacts the end of the rivet. Under the combined action of the rotational force and the axial pressure applied by the pressure plate 17, the end of the rivet begins to be upset and deformed in all directions. During the deformation process, the working head 14 continues to rotate and apply pressure. The end of the rivet gradually fills the mold cavity that matches the shape of the rivet head and tightly squeezes the surface of the workpiece, finally forming a rivet head that meets the requirements. This firmly splices two workpieces such as plates together, completing the riveting operation.
