In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0022] Example 1: Please see Figures 1-4A riveting device includes a frame 100 and two riveting mechanisms 200 adjacently arranged on the frame 100. The two riveting mechanisms 200 are capable of riveting two different riveting positions on the same workpiece. In one example, this riveting device is mainly used for riveting without loosening, where the workpiece is a sheet metal part, a chassis shell, or an equipment panel, etc. A "non-loosening" fastener is a type of fastener that integrates a riveting installation structure with an anti-loosening function, enabling a one-time installation and long-term anti-loosening fastening effect on sheet metal parts, chassis shells, and equipment panels, while avoiding the risk of screw loosening and falling out in traditional threaded connections.

[0023] The riveting mechanism 200 includes a feeding module 210, a riveting module 220, and an adjustment module 230 connected in sequence. The feeding module 210 is used to feed the loose material to the position of the riveting module 220. The riveting module 220 is used to rivet the loose material onto the workpiece. The adjustment module 230 is used to adjust the position of the riveting module 220 so that it, together with the adjacent riveting mechanism 200, adapts to the distance between the two riveting positions on the workpiece.

[0024] The adjustment module 230 includes a rack 231, a gear 232, and a rotating component 233. The rotating component 233 is connected to the gear 232, the gear 232 is meshed with the rack 231, and the rack 231 is fixedly connected to the riveting module 220. Rotating the rotating component 233 causes the gear 232 to drive the rack 231 to move the riveting module 220.

[0025] It is known that two riveting mechanisms 200 are arranged adjacent to each other. Each riveting mechanism 200 includes a feeding module 210, a riveting module 220 and an adjustment module 230. The two rotating components 233 are rotated respectively, which can drive the two riveting modules 220 to move closer or further apart to adapt to the distance between the two riveting positions on different workpieces and improve the versatility of the equipment.

[0026] For example, the riveting modules 220 of two riveting mechanisms 200 are arranged adjacent to each other. The position of the riveting module 220 on the left remains unchanged, while the position of the riveting module 220 on the right is adjusted so that the right riveting module 220 moves closer to or further away from the left riveting module 220. The rotating component 233 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. In one example, when the rotating component 233 of the right riveting mechanism 200 rotates clockwise, the corresponding right riveting module 220 moves away from the left riveting module 220. When the rotating component 233 rotates counterclockwise, the corresponding right riveting module 220 moves closer to the left riveting module 220.

[0027] The riveting module 220 is quite heavy. Adjusting its position by manually pushing or directly moving it would be difficult and would not guarantee the accuracy of the adjusted position. Here, by setting up a rotating component 233, when the rotating component 233 is rotated, it can drive the gear 232 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 232 drives the rack 231 to move, and the movement of the rack 231 drives the riveting module 220 to move. In other words, this method can easily adjust the position of the riveting module 220 and can also play a better role in controlling the accuracy of the position adjustment.

[0028] In some embodiments, the frame 100 includes a support base plate 110 with a clearance hole 111. A rack 231 is located within the clearance hole 111. Embedding the rack 231 within the clearance hole 111 provides good positioning for the rack 231. The rack 231 can move under the drive of the gear 232. Therefore, it is understood that the length of the clearance hole 111 is greater than the length of the rack 231, allowing the rack 231 to move within the clearance hole 111. The riveting module 220 is located on the upper surface of the support base plate 110. The movement of the rack 231 within the clearance hole 111 synchronously moves the riveting module 220 relative to the upper surface of the support base plate 110.

[0029] The rotating assembly 233 includes a turntable 2331, a connecting rod 2332, a first base 2333, and a second base 2334. The turntable 2331 is easy to rotate by hand. The turntable 2331 is connected to the first end of the connecting rod 2332. The second end of the connecting rod 2332 passes through the first base 2333, the gear 232, and the second base 2334 in sequence. The first base 2333 and the second base 2334 are fixed to the lower end face of the support base plate 110. The connecting rod 2332 is rotatably connected to the first base 2333 and the second base 2334. The connecting rod 2332 and the gear 232 are coaxially fixedly connected.

[0030] The first base 2333 and the second base 2334 limit the movement of the connecting rod 2332. When the turntable 2331 is rotated by hand, the connecting rod 2332 rotates relative to the first base 2333 and the second base 2334, which synchronously drives the gear 232 to rotate. This causes the gear 232 to drive the rack 231 to move, thereby moving the position of the riveting module 220.

[0031] The riveting device provided in this embodiment improves riveting efficiency by setting two riveting mechanisms 200 to simultaneously rivet two riveting positions. The riveting mechanism 200 is equipped with an adjustment module 230 for adjusting the position of the riveting module 220, which can adapt to the riveting requirements of products of different sizes and improve versatility. The adjustment module 230 adopts the meshing of gear 232 and rack 231, combined with the rotating component 233, which makes it easier to drive the riveting module 220 to adjust its position and has the advantage of easy adjustment.

[0032] Example 2: This embodiment makes further structural optimizations based on Embodiment 1. Please refer to... Figures 1-4 Based on the above Figures 5-7 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the feeding module 210 includes at least a vibratory feeder 211 and a feeding channel 212; one end of the feeding channel 212 is connected to the vibratory feeder 211, and the other end is connected to the riveting module 220.

[0034] Vibratory feeder 211 is used to sort and directionally convey unwanted loose parts, while feeding channel 212 receives the orderly loose parts output by vibratory feeder 211, achieving precise guidance and stable transition, and finally efficiently and error-free conveying the loose parts to riveting module 220.

[0035] In some embodiments, the feeding module 210 further includes a first pushing component 213; the feeding channel 212 includes a first material trough channel 2121 and a second material trough channel 2122, one end of the first material trough channel 2121 is connected to the vibrating plate 211, the other end of the first material trough channel 2121 is connected to the middle of the second material trough channel 2122, the first pushing component 213 is disposed at one end of the second material trough channel 2122, and the other end of the second material trough channel 2122 is connected to the riveting module 220.

[0036] The first material channel 2121 and the second material channel 2122 are vertically related to the horizontal plane. After the loose material is conveyed through the first material channel 2121 to the connection between the first material channel 2121 and the second material channel 2122, the first pushing component 213 pushes the loose material along the second material channel 2122 to the riveting module 220.

[0037] Furthermore, the first pushing assembly 213 includes a first pushing cylinder 2131 and a first push rod 2132. One end of the first push rod 2132 is connected to the drive end of the first pushing cylinder 2131, and the other end of the first push rod 2132 is used to push the material to the riveting module 220.

[0038] In some embodiments, the feeding module 210 further includes a first sensor 214; the first sensor 214 is used to sense whether there is material at the connection between the first material channel 2121 and the second material channel 2122.

[0039] Specifically, when the first sensor 214 detects that there is loose material at the connection between the first material channel 2121 and the second material channel 2122, the first sensor 214 sends a signal to the background control system. The background control system drives the first pushing component 213 to move. The first pushing component 213 pushes the loose material along the second material channel 2122 to the pressing module 220.

[0040] The riveting device provided in this embodiment includes a feeding module 210 comprising a vibratory feeder 211, a feeding channel 212, a first pushing component 213, and a first sensor 214, thereby achieving an automated feeding effect for materials that cannot be detached.

[0041] Example 3: This embodiment makes further structural optimizations based on embodiment 2. Please refer to... Figures 1-7 Based on the above Figure 8 and Figure 9 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the riveting module 220 includes a riveting drive assembly 221 and a riveting support assembly 222. The riveting drive assembly 221 is located above the riveting support assembly 222. A riveting channel 2221 is formed on the riveting support assembly 222. One end of the riveting channel 2221 is connected to the feeding channel 212, and the other end of the riveting channel 2221 forms a riveting position 2221a. A riveting head 2211 is formed on the riveting drive assembly 221 at a position corresponding to the riveting position 2221a.

[0043] After the feeding module 210 conveys the loose unattached part to the riveting support assembly 222, the loose unattached part is conveyed to the riveting position 2221a through the riveting channel 2221. The riveting drive assembly 221 presses down, and the riveting head 2211 performs the riveting operation on the riveting position 2221a. It can be understood that after the loose unattached part moves to the riveting position 2221a, the workpiece can be manually positioned at the riveting position 2221a of the two riveting support assemblies 222, and then the riveting drive assembly 221 performs the riveting operation.

[0044] In some embodiments, the riveting module 220 further includes a second pusher component 223; the riveting channel 2221 includes a third material groove channel, the feeding channel 212 is connected to the middle of the third material groove channel, the second pusher component 223 is disposed at one end of the third material groove channel, and the other end of the third material groove channel forms a riveting position 2221a.

[0045] The third material trough channel and the feeding channel 212 are vertically related based on the horizontal plane. After the loose detacher is conveyed to the third material trough channel through the feeding channel 212, the second pushing component 223 pushes the loose detacher to the pressing position 2221a of the third material trough channel, so as to achieve the fully automated feeding effect of the loose detacher.

[0046] In some embodiments, the riveting module 220 further includes an elastic damping component 224; the elastic damping component 224 is disposed on the frame 100, and the riveting drive component 221 is connected to the upper end of the elastic damping component 224. The elastic damping component 224 includes a helical spring, one end of which is fixed to the frame 100, and the other end of which is connected to the riveting module 220, which can buffer and dampen the riveting force to prevent damage to the workpiece or failure to loosen due to hard contact.

[0047] Furthermore, the riveting module 220 also includes a guide rod assembly 225 distributed along the driving direction of the riveting drive assembly 221; the guide rod assembly 225 is disposed on the frame 100, and the riveting drive assembly 221 is slidably connected to the guide rod assembly 225. The guide rod assembly 225 can guide the riveting action of the riveting drive assembly 221 to ensure a precise riveting effect that prevents loosening.

[0048] This embodiment provides a riveting device. The riveting module 220 includes an elastic damping component 224 and a guide component. It can play an elastic damping and guiding role for the riveting operation of the riveting drive component 221, protect the workpiece and prevent it from coming loose, and ensure a good and accurate riveting effect.

[0049] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this invention, and while the description is specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of this invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this invention, and these obvious substitutions all fall within the protection scope of this invention.
