Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of riveting tools, specifically a rivet gun according to the preamble part of claim 1.
  • a rivet gun is described in EP 0 745 443 A1 .
  • a rivet gun is a tool for riveting nuts, which can rivet nuts on the plate and is of a wide use.
  • the existing rivet gun is usually structured with a housing, a left handle at the end of the housing, a right handle, a right connecting rod at the top end of the right handle, a chute on the connecting rod, a slide pin in the chute, a U-shaped seat mounted on the top end of the housing, a recess on the outer wall of U-shaped seat to lock the peg.
  • the core of the peg will be locked to the U-shaped seat and the part comes out the housing will be locked to the place that needs to be riveted. Hold the right handle and the left handle to make them close up, then the connecting rod and the U-shaped seat will be pulled backward, and the U-shaped seat will drive the core of the peg to move backward, thus making the peg be fixed.
  • EP 0 745 443 A1 discloses a mechanism which is intended for use in clamps.
  • a clamp causes the expansion of a first plug similar to a rivet.
  • the clamp comprises a body.
  • the body forms or is attached to a fixed lever which is provided with a handle.
  • a second plug supports a movable lever.
  • This movable lever is provided with a handle.
  • the fixed clevis forms starting from its branches guides.
  • the guides guide a movable clevis which has a slot in its front face that coincides with a slot in the fixed clevis.
  • the slots are provided to enable the screw head to be grasped inside the movable clevis.
  • the movable clevis guided by the guides is connected to the end of a toothed rack having an upper toothing and a lower toothing.
  • a pawl is articulated to the lever on a pin.
  • the pawl has the shape of the letter in cross-section and supports a cross member engaged in one of the notches of the lower toothing.
  • a spring is wounded on the pin. The ends of the spring bear against the lever and the pawl, which causes the pawl to pivot in the direction in which the cross member is applied in one of the notches. The spring further makes the lever pivot around the plug. The lever finally comes into contact with the end of a rocker which acts as a stop for pivoting of the leaver.
  • WO 2011/025972 A2 discloses a crimping tool with a front plate which is attachable to a back plate with a plurality of fasteners.
  • the fasteners are structured to be passed though corresponding pluralities of apertures in the front plate, elongate spacer elements positioned between the front plate and the back plate, and apertures in the back plate.
  • the fasteners may have external threads that are structured to engage with internal threads of the apertures in the front plate and/or the apertures in the back plate.
  • the rivet gun supported by technology mentioned above may help achieve the riveting of pegs, but the following problems still exist in the course of use: due to the unreasonable design of the arm of force of the rivet gun, it will take great effort for people to open or close the handles, and for people who are not strong, they even need to use the gun with both hands. Therefore, this kind of rivet gun is time-consuming and energy-consuming, and it needs to be further improved.
  • the first linkage assembly when the right handle is folded, the first linkage assembly will give a backward force to the U-shaped seat; and then when the U-shaped seat goes forward, the second linkage assembly will also give U-shaped seat a backward force.
  • the same principle follows when the right handle is opened, with a difference only in the direction of the force. Therefore, the two forces will help to save the energy, so as to make the right handle easily be opened or folded.
  • the rivet gun includes a housing 100 with a left handle 1 on the bottom and a right handle 2.
  • the left handle 1 and right handle 2 are all covered by a handle housing 3 and 4.
  • the housing 100 is installed with a U-shaped seat 5 at the top end.
  • the top end of the right handle 2 is rotated with the top end of the housing 100 through a spindle 6.
  • the top end of the right handle 2 is installed with a link mechanism 7, which is covered by the housing 100 and fixed to the housing 100 via screws.
  • the link mechanism 7 includes a first linkage assembly 71 linked to the top end of the right handle 2 and a second linkage assembly 72 connected to the first linkage assembly 71, and the second linkage assembly 72 is used to drive the U-shaped seat 5 to shift forward and backward.
  • the first link assembly 71 comprises two paralleled first link rods 711 with the same shape and size. One end of the first link rod 711 is fixed to the top end of the right handle 2.
  • the second link assembly 72 comprises two second link rods 721 which are fixed to the top end of the right handle 2 by one end and below the first link rods 711, and a connecting rod assembly 722 installed on one end of the second links 721 to drive the U-shaped seat 5 to shift forward and backward.
  • the two first link rods 711 are installed with a first pin 8 on one end, and a long chute 9 on the other end.
  • the top end of the right handle 2 is provided with a first pin hole 10 for the first pin 8 to be inserted by upper and lower ends.
  • the two second link rods 721 are installed with a second pin 11 on one end, and a short chute 12 on the other end.
  • the top end of the right handle 2 is provided with a second pin hole 13 for the second pin 11 to be inserted by upper and lower ends.
  • the connecting rod assembly 722 comprises two connecting rods 7221, and the first concave boss 7222 and second concave boss 7223 fixed to two ends of the connecting rod 7221.
  • the mentioned first concave boss 7222 will go through the long chute 9 and slide with the long chute 9.
  • the second concave boss 7223 will go through the short chute 12 and slide with the short chute 12.
  • the connecting rod 7221 is provided with a positioning axis 14, the top and bottom ends of which 14 are fixed to the top end of the housing 100. On the top end of the housing 100, there is a fixing hole 27 for the fixation of the positioning axis 14.
  • the distance between the positioning axis 14 and the first concave boss 7222 is longer than the distance between the positioning axis 14 and the second concave boss 7223.
  • the connecting rod moves, since the position of the positioning axis 14 and the housing 100 will not change when fixed, there will be an arm of force between the positioning axis 14 and the first concave boss 7222, while another arm of force will also be formed between the positioning axis 14 and the second concave boss 7223. Since the short chute 12 is much shorter than the long chute, the distance between the positioning axis 14 and the first concave boss 7222 is two times longer than the distance between the positioning axis 14 and the second concave boss 7223.
  • a punching hole is installed on the inner side of the U-shaped seat 5.
  • the upper and lower ends of first concave boss 7222 are fixed in the punching hole 15, and a positioning slot 16 is provided on the other end of the U-shaped base 5.
  • the housing 100 is provided with a neck 17 on one side of the top end corresponding to the positioning slot 16.
  • the top end of the right handle 2 is further provided with a third pin hole 18, and the first pin hole 10, third pin hole 18 and second pin hole 13 are set from top to bottom.
  • the spindle 6 is set through the third pin hole 18.
  • the top end of the housing 100 is provided with a positioning hole 19 for the upper and lower ends of the spindle 6 to be locked into.
  • the spindle 6 is covered by a torsion spring 20.
  • the torsion spring 20 has two bifurcations 201, wherein one of the bifurcation 201 abuts against the second pin 11 and its 201 lower end locks into the left handle 1; the other bifurcation 201 abuts the connecting rod 7221, and its 201 lower end locks into the right handle 2.
  • the distance between the first pin hole 10 and the third pin hole 18 is shorter than the distance between the second pin hole 13 and the third pin hole 18, so there will be an arm of force formed between the first pin 8 and the spindle 6 and an arm of force formed between the second pin and spindle 6.
  • the distance between the second pin 11 and the spindle 6 shall be two times longer than that between the first pin 8 and the spindle 6 at least.
  • the top end of the left handle housing 3 is provided with a hook 21, and one end of the hook 21 locks on the outer wall of the right handle 2.
  • the set of the torsion spring 20 will facilitate the opening of right handle 2. In order to close up two handles, right handle 2 and left handle 1, people can only cover the outer wall of the right handle 2 with the hook 21.
  • housing 100 is provided with a long cover plate 22 and short cover plate 23 on two sides of the top end.
  • the long cover plate 22 has a cylinder 24 with threaded hole.
  • the housing 100 is provided with a through hole 25 on the top end for the cylinder 24 to go through.
  • the cylinder 24 goes through the through hole 25 and then will be fixed to the short cover plate 23 by a fastening screw 26.
  • Figure 5 is the schematic diagram of the folding state of link mechanism
  • Figure 6 is a diagram of the opening state of link mechanism.
  • open the right handle 2 first and it will drive the first link rod 711 to move forward, while the second link rod will be driven to move backward, thus the U-shape seat will be driven to move forward.
  • the first concave boss 7222 stays at the end of the long chute 9, and when the second concave boss 7233 is slid to the front end of the short chute 12, the connecting rod 7221 interferes.
