Abstract
A rivet rotational feeding method for friction self-piercing riveting (F-SPR) system, comprising: a semi-hollow rivet, a driving spindle and a die. The bottom surface of the rivet head is connected to the semi-hollow rivet shank. The semi-hollow rivet shank has a wedge-shaped end. The rivet head has rotation driving structures and positioning structure on the top end. The rotation driving structures are central symmetric concave or convex surfaces. The positioning structure is a central symmetric and mirror symmetric concave or convex surface. The matching between the driving spindle and the rivet can improve the rotation reliability and positioning accuracy of the riveting at a high rotational speed during F-SPR process, which is beneficial to solve the problems of poor stability and non-coincidence between the geometry axis and the rotation axis of the rivet.
