Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting surface 11 of the board 1 may have other shapes, and the cross section of the first groove 12 and the periphery of the extension 32 of the fastener 3 may be adapted to other non-circular features, such as a waist, to obtain torque in cooperation.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the second groove 13 is located at the outer side of the right arc portion of the first groove 12, and is also arc-shaped, so that the inner and outer side walls of the protrusion 14 formed between the second groove and the first groove 12 are arc-shaped, so that the riveting pin 2 can stably spin the protrusion 14 under various processing conditions of the plate 1, and the plate 1 and the fastener 3 are stably combined after the riveting is finished.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, in this embodiment, the fastener 3 is formed with a main body 31 and two extending portions 32 extending radially from the outer edge of the main body 31, and the two extending portions 32 are symmetrically located at the upper and lower ends of the main body 31, so that the fastener 3 is integrally in a symmetrical structure, which is beneficial to automatically grabbing and controlling the feeding of the fastener into the first slot 12.

Of course, in other embodiments, the inclined side wall 41 of the container 4 may have an angle with the radial plane of the extension 32 of 15 ° -30 °, so that the protrusion 14 is uniformly forced to flow onto the inclined side wall 41.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the rivet pin 2 is used to have the head 21 and the flange 22 sleeved on the head 21, and during the rivet, the top end of the head 21 abuts against the bottom of the second groove 13 of the plate 1, so that the protrusion 14 is radially pressed on the outside, and when the protrusion 14 is radially pressed on the outside, it plastically deforms toward the fastener 3 to flow onto the sloped sidewall 41 on the lower side of the receiving groove 4, and the flange 22 of the rivet pin 2 has a predetermined distance between the side of the flange 22 facing the top end of the head 21 and the top end of the head 21, which is greater than the distance between the top end of the protrusion 14 and the bottom of the second groove 13, and is limited to the height of the plastic deformation of the protrusion 14 in the vertical direction, so that the deformed portion of the protrusion 14 flows onto the sloped sidewall 41 as much as possible, that is, so that the deformed portion of the protrusion 14 flows onto the sloped sidewall 41 as much as possible to control the burr of the fastener 3 combined with the extending portion 32. Therefore, during the deformation of the protrusion 14, it is simultaneously subjected to the co-action of the head 21, the flange 22 and the inclined side wall 41 of the receiving groove 4 of the rivet pin 2, so that the edge of the protrusion 14 is uniformly pressed, thereby avoiding the generation of burrs during the bonding of the plate 1 and the fastener 3.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the fastener 3 is further provided with an inner hole 33, the inner hole 33 penetrates through the main body 31 and the extension 32 along the axial direction of the main body 31, and threads are formed on the wall of the inner hole 33, so that after the plate 1 is combined with the fastener 3, the plate can be connected with other components in a threaded connection manner.

Referring to fig. 5 to 7, in a further embodiment, unlike the above embodiment, the number of the extending portions 32 is 3, and the extending portions are respectively located at the upper end, the lower end and the middle of the main body 31, so that two symmetrical slots 4 are formed between the extending portions 32 from top to bottom, the inclined side walls 41 of the two slots 4 are formed by the extending portions 32 located in the middle of the main body 31, and the two slots 4 are right trapezoid along the axial cross-section of the main body 31, so that the whole fastener 3 still maintains an axially symmetrical structure, and is still beneficial for automatic gripping and feeding. And, when the protrusion 14 is plastically deformed toward the fastener 3, the inclined side walls 41 are located above the protrusion 14 and limit the deformed portion formed by deforming the protrusion 14, so as to control the burr of the deformed portion, so that in this embodiment, the protrusion 14 can be spun by using only the spin rivet pin 2 without the flange 22, and the plate 1 and the fastener 3 are combined.

Referring to fig. 8, in particular, in a further embodiment, unlike the above embodiment, two symmetrical grooves 4 are formed between the extending portions 32 from top to bottom, and the inclined side walls 41 of the two grooves 4 are formed by two adjacent extending portions 32 together, that is, each groove 4 has two inclined side walls 41 connected to the bottom wall of the groove, and the inclined side walls 41 formed by the extending portions 32 at the end of the main body 31 have an inclination angle, so that the inner and outer side walls of the protrusions 14 are uniformly stressed during spinning, and the inclined side walls 41 formed by the extending portions 32 in the middle can limit the deformation flow of the protrusions 14 in the vertical direction, so that the deformed parts of the protrusions 14 can flow onto the extending portions 32 as much as possible to be combined with the fastening members 3 without burrs.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the sheet material 1 in the sheet material connecting device is combined with the fastener 3, and the method includes the steps of:

before the plates 1 are connected and installed, firstly, the fastening piece 3 is placed into the first groove 12 of the plates 1 through the vibration disc, and the fastening piece 3 is of an axially symmetrical structure, so that the axial direction front and back of the fastening piece 3 are not needed to be considered; the staking pin 2 is then inserted into the second slot 13 of the plate 1. In one case, the rivet pin 2 can also be inserted into the second slot 13 at the same time as the fastening element 3 is installed.

Specifically, in this embodiment, after the rivet pin 2 is inserted into the second groove 13, when the head 21 of the rivet pin 2 is abutted against the mounting wall, the rivet pin 2 rotates under the action of external force, and at the same time, the rivet pin 2 moves along the second groove 13; the moving track of the spin rivet pin 2 is a unidirectional curve which is not annular. That is, the rivet pin 2 revolves around the fastener 3 while rotating, and friction is generated between the rivet pin 2 and the outer sidewall of the boss 14 by controlling rotation and revolution speeds, which is only a spinning process, so that no aluminum skiving is generated.

Specifically, in this embodiment, during the movement of the riveting pin 2, the riveting tool is applied with a force of multiple reciprocating motions, so that the riveting pin 2 performs multiple independent reciprocating extrusion on the protrusion 14 between the first groove 12 and the second groove 13. During this extrusion, the energy of a single input is made extremely low by the adjustment of the external force. It is understood that the combined rotation and revolution of the spin rivet pin 2 can prevent aluminum cutting during riveting. I.e. the riveting process is carried out by multiple spinning. At the same time, since the pressing action is only generated in the horizontal direction, the influence of strain force in the vertical direction can be reduced to a minimum, thereby ensuring that no stress marks are generated on the side of the plate material 1 facing away from the mounting surface 11 thereof.

Finally, it should be noted that: the foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model is not intended to be limiting, but rather, although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the embodiments described, or equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof, and any changes, equivalents, modifications and improvements may be made without departing from the spirit and principles of the present utility model.
