摘要: A method for dimpling and riveting a workpiece wherein the workpiece is clamped, the dimpling, drilling and riveting are performed sequentially while the workpiece is clamped, and the workpiece is heated prior to dimpling. During clamping a pressure foot force is applied to one side of the workpiece, and during dimpling a force is applied to the opposite side causing movement of the workpiece a small distance and against the pressure foot force. The dimpled recess in the workpiece is in the general shape of a truncated cone, and the drilling provides a rivet-receiving hole through the workpiece in the recess. When it is desired to provide a fluid-tight seal, the minor diameter of the truncated cone is made slightly greater than the diameter of the rivet-receiving hole thereby providing an annular step or ledge extending between the hole and the outwardly diverging wall of the dimpled recess. During upsetting of the rivet there is a radial compression of the workpiece material in the region of the annular step to provide a fluid-tight seal between the rivet and the workpiece.

摘要: Dimpling and riveting a workpiece wherein the workpiece is clamped, the dimpling, drilling and riveting occur sequentially while the workpiece is clamped, and the workpiece is heated prior to dimpling. During clamping a pressure foot force is applied to one side of the workpiece, and during dimpling a force is applied to the opposite side causing slight movement of the workpiece against the pressure foot force. The dimpled recess in the workpiece is about the shape of a truncated cone and a rivet-receiving hole is drilled through the workpiece in the recess. To provide a fluid-tight seal, the minor diameter of the truncated cone is made slightly greater than the diameter of the rivet-receiving hole thereby providing an annular step between the hole and the outwardly diverging wall of the dimpled recess. During upsetting of the rivet the workpiece material is compressed radially around the annular step to provide a fluid-tight seal between rivet and workpiece. A pressure foot contacts one side of the workpiece, a biasing arrangement connected to the pressure foot and to the apparatus frame applies force to the pressure foot, a clamp member contacts the opposite side of the workpiece and a mechanism connected to the clamp member and to the frame moves the clamp member into contact with the workpiece and moves the workpiece into contact with the pressure foot and then moves the clamp and pressure foot with the workpiece therebetween against the pressure foot force during dimpling.
摘要翻译: 在工件夹紧的同时对工件进行切割和铆接,在工件被夹紧之前,凹坑,钻孔和铆接顺序地发生,并且工件在凹坑之前被加热。 在夹紧期间,将压力脚施加到工件的一侧,并且在凹坑期间,力施加到相对侧,导致工件抵抗压力力的轻微移动。 工件中的凹凸凹陷大致为圆锥形的形状,在凹部中穿过工件钻出铆钉接收孔。 为了提供流体密封的密封件,使截锥体的较小直径略大于铆钉接收孔的直径,从而在孔和凹槽的向外发散的壁之间提供环形台阶。 在镦锻铆钉期间,工件材料围绕环形台阶径向地被压缩,以在铆钉和工件之间提供流体密封的密封。 压脚接触工件的一侧,连接到压力脚和装置框架上的偏置装置向压脚施加力,夹紧构件接触工件的相对侧,以及连接到夹紧构件的机构, 框架移动夹紧构件与工件接触并使工件与压力脚接触,然后在凹坑期间使夹具和压脚与工件之间抵抗压力脚移动。
