Solutions for the use of blind rivet nuts in structural design for industrial applications

A blind rivet nut is a special kind of nut that pulls a rivet. In engineering, a blind rivet pulling nut is widely used when it needs to be connected or fixed.

I. Basic structure of blind rivet nut

A blind rivet nut consists of a nut body and rivet handle. The body of the nut is usually made of metal, with internal threads and a unique structure shape. A blind rivet handle is generally made of steel with a certain length and strength.

Second, the use of blind rivet nut steps

1. Preparation: First, you must prepare the workpiece and nut that must be connected or fixed. Ensure that the surface of the workpiece is free of impurities or corrosion to ensure the firmness of the connection.

2. Hole chiseling: To fix the workpiece, use the appropriate tools to drill holes in the workpiece to ensure the hole diameter and position accuracy.

3. Threading: According to the specification and size of the blind rivet nut, threads are machined on the inside of the drilled hole. Thread machining requires appropriate threading tools and machining techniques to ensure the quality of the threads.

4. Installation of the nut: Put the blind rivet nut into the drilled hole, rotate the nut to make it, and the threads bite each other. During the rotation process, appropriate pressure is applied to ensure the nut is fully embedded in the threads.

5. Riveting: Using the blind riveting tool, insert the riveting shank into the nut hole and apply force. During the blind riveting process, the rivet shank will hold the nut firmly inside the workpiece and create a strong connection.

6. Checking the connection: After the blind riveting is completed, the solidity of the connection must be checked. The strength of the connection can be verified by using appropriate testing tools or methods, such as a tension tester or shear test. Make sure the connection meets the design requirements.

7. Precautions for use: When using blind rivet nuts, the following points need to be noted:

   (1) Select the appropriate blind rivet nut specification and size to ensure the firmness and reliability of the connection;

   (2) Pay attention to safety when operating to avoid injury caused by improper operation;

   (3) Avoid excessive riveting or insufficient riveting during use so as not to affect the connection effect;

   (4) Regularly check the connection parts and repair or replace them in time when problems are found.

Third, the application of blind rivet nuts

Blind rivet nuts are widely used in automotive, aerospace, electronic equipment, machinery manufacturing, and other fields. It can connect thin plates, pipes, metal components, etc., with the advantages of solid connection and easy installation.

In automobile manufacturing, blind rivet nuts are commonly used to connect body connections, such as doors and roofs. In the aerospace field, blind rivet nuts are widely used to connect aircraft structures, such as aircraft wings, fuselages, etc. In electronic equipment manufacturing, blind rivet nuts can connect circuit boards, heat sinks, etc. In machinery manufacturing, blind rivet nuts can connect mechanical parts, equipment, and so on.

Fourth, the advantages of blind rivet nuts

Compared with the traditional bolt connection, the blind rivet nut has the following advantages:

1. Easy to install: The installation process of blind rivet nut is simple; one only needs to use riveting tools to complete the connection, eliminating the bolt installation steps;

2. Firm connection: blind rivet nuts form a strong connection by firmly biting inside the workpiece, with high tensile strength and shear strength;

3. Wide range of application: blind riveting nuts are suitable for connecting workpieces of various materials, such as metal, plastic, etc;

4. Aesthetic: blind riveting nuts have a unique appearance, which can make the connection part more beautiful without the need to add decorative parts such as nut covers;

5. Space-saving: blind rivet nuts without bolts and washers can save connection space, which is suitable for occasions with limited space.

As a special kind of blind rivet nut, it has important application value in engineering. Correct use of blind rivet nuts and following the precautions for use can ensure the firmness and reliability of the connection. The wide application of blind rivets nut provides more choices and solutions for engineers and technicians in various industries and promotes the development and progress of engineering technology.www.juxinfasteners.com
