Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of automotive electronic components technology, specifically a grounding rivet assembly fastener for automobiles. Background Technology

[0002] Grounding rivet fasteners are a type of fastener used to secure automotive grounding wires.

[0003] Traditional grounding fasteners often require simultaneous operation on both the top and bottom sides of the automotive metal panel. For example, installing a nut on the top side while simultaneously tightening or performing other fixing operations on the bottom side is not only cumbersome but also difficult to complete efficiently in space-constrained situations (such as the narrow installation space inside a car). This results in a lengthy and inefficient installation process, failing to meet the demand for quick and easy installation. During the tightening process, traditional nut structures may slip under force due to smooth surfaces or unreasonable designs, leading to unstable tightening and affecting the reliability of the grounding connection. Secondly, the bottom structure of traditional grounding fasteners may not be a sealed blind hole design. During the electrophoresis process, it is impossible to prevent electrophoresis from entering the inner hole, which can affect conductivity after grounding. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model mainly provides a grounding riveting fastener for automobiles to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A grounding rivet assembly fastener for automobiles includes a blind hole rivet nut and a bolt, characterized in that: the blind hole rivet nut is divided into a head, a middle part and a tail part. When in the initial structural state before installation, the head has a hexagonal outer surface and a circular groove inside without threads. The middle part has a hexagonal prism segment with a diameter smaller than that of the head. The tail part gradually deforms from the hexagonal prism structure of the middle part to a cylindrical shape until the end face of the tail part is circular. The end face of the tail part is a blind hole sealing structure. The diameter of the inner connecting groove of the middle part and the tail part is smaller than the diameter of the circular groove inside the head part. Threads are provided along the inner wall of the groove connecting the middle part and the tail part. The bolt consists of a hexagonal flange head and a screw structure. The top of the head is a hexagonal column section, which is integrally connected to the flange structure. The screw and the hexagonal flange structure are integrally formed, and the screw has full threads, corresponding to the connecting grooves at the head, middle and tail of the blind hole rivet nut.

[0006] Preferably, when the blind hole rivet nut is connected to the bolt, the thread on the screw structure is threadedly connected to the connecting groove of the head, middle and tail of the blind hole rivet nut, and the blind hole rivet nut and the bolt will remain tightly connected during the electrophoresis process.

[0007] Preferably, the blind hole rivet nut is riveted to the ground plate of the car. The hexagonal column structure in the middle of the blind hole rivet nut is deformed by the tension of the riveting operation. The deformed structure has an I-shaped cross section and is fastened to the ground plate of the car. The bolt and the blind hole rivet nut are fastened together. At the same time, a grounding terminal is installed between the flange structure of the blind hole rivet nut and the bolt.

[0008] Preferably, the hexagonal column structure in the middle of the blind hole rivet nut is shortened after being riveted, ensuring a tight and secure connection with the vehicle's ground plate and maintaining a tight connection after being assembled and tightened with bolts.

[0016] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1-4 A type of automotive grounding rivet fastener, comprising a blind hole rivet nut 1 and a bolt 2, wherein both the blind hole rivet nut 1 and the bolt 2 are made of aluminum or aluminum alloy. The blind hole rivet nut 1 can be structurally divided into a head, a middle section, and a tail section. In its initial uninstalled state, the head of the blind hole rivet nut 1 has a hexagonal shape with a circular groove inside, which is initially unthreaded. The middle section of the blind hole rivet nut 1 has a hexagonal prism with a diameter smaller than that of the head. The tail section of the blind hole rivet nut 1 gradually transforms from the hexagonal prism structure in the middle section to a cylindrical shape until the tail end face is circular, and this tail end face is a blind hole sealing structure. The diameter of the inner connecting groove between the middle and tail sections of the blind hole rivet nut 1 is smaller than the diameter of the circular groove inside the head, and threads are provided along the inner wall of the connecting groove between the middle and tail sections. The bolt 2 consists of a hexagonal flange head and a bolt structure. The top is a hexagonal column section with an integrated flange structure. The screw and the hexagonal flange are integrally formed. The screw has full threads, which correspond to the connecting grooves at the head, middle, and tail of the blind hole rivet nut 1. When the blind hole rivet nut 1 is connected to the bolt 2, the threads on the screw structure will connect with the connecting grooves at the head, middle, and tail of the blind hole rivet nut 1. The blind hole rivet nut 1 is riveted to the ground plate of the car. During the riveting installation process, the blind hole rivet nut 1... The central hexagonal column structure will deform under the tension of the riveting operation. The deformed structure has an I-shaped cross section, which can be fastened to the vehicle's ground plate. The bolt 2 and the blind hole rivet nut 1 are fastened together. At the same time, a grounding terminal 5 is installed between the flange structure of the blind hole rivet nut 1 and the bolt 2. After the central hexagonal column structure of the blind hole rivet nut 1 is riveted, its length will be reduced, ensuring a tight and firm connection with the vehicle's ground plate and a tight connection after assembly and fastening with the bolt 2.

[0017] The specific operation method of this utility model is as follows: In the initial state, the hexagonal head structure and the unthreaded circular groove of the blind hole rivet nut 1, as well as the structural features of the middle and tail sections, are riveted to the position of the vehicle grounding plate. The hexagonal column structure in the middle of the blind hole rivet nut 1 is deformed into an I-shape under the riveting force, and is firmly fastened to the grounding plate. The hexagonal flange structure and the fully threaded bolt 2 are inserted into the blind hole rivet nut 1 and cooperate with each other. The thread of the bolt 2 is tightly engaged with the threaded grooves of the head, middle and tail of the blind hole rivet nut 1, achieving a preliminary connection. During the electrophoresis process, the two remain tightly connected to prevent electrophoresis from seeping into the interior of the blind hole rivet nut 1. After electrophoresis, the grounding terminal 5 is installed between the blind hole rivet nut 1 and the flange structure of the bolt 2. A tightening force is applied to ensure that the bolt 2 remains tightly connected to the blind hole rivet nut 1 and the grounding terminal 5 after tightening, thereby achieving reliable fixing and grounding connection of the vehicle grounding.
