The components of the shock absorber of the automobile include spring plates, stabilizer bar brackets, U-shaped brackets, positioning brackets and the like, which are required to be fixed to the oil reservoir of the shock absorber. The current common mode is welding, wherein after the element is attached to the oil storage cylinder, the element and the oil storage cylinder are jointed together by using a welding rod at the joint. Although this welding method is fast, it has various drawbacks in terms of safety and quality. On one hand, safety accidents such as ignition, explosion, burning and scalding, acute poisoning and the like can occur in the operation process of the welding process, and harmful factors such as arc light, electric welding smoke dust, toxic gas, high-frequency electromagnetic radiation and the like to human bodies are generated to cause environmental pollution and human health hazard.
The riveting is a method for connecting two or more workpieces through rivets, the operation process needs the participation of a die and the rivets, the workpieces to be riveted are usually fixed on the die, and then the rivets are nailed from the upper part, so that after the rivets pierce the workpieces, the rivets deform to be matched with grooves of the die, and the connection and the fixation of the workpieces are realized. The riveting method can realize the connection between the elements of the shock absorber and the oil storage cylinder without welding and spraying, improves the appearance quality, is harmless to the environment in the whole manufacturing process, and ensures the personal safety and health of operators. However, this method requires the cooperation of a die, and the object to be riveted is usually a flat plate element which is easy to operate, and the conventional flat plate die cannot meet the requirement for the elements such as the automobile shock absorber which need to be connected on the cylindrical oil storage cylinder. And the number of riveting points of different riveting parts is different, so that the positions of the dies need to be frequently replaced by riveting each time by using a conventional method, and the operation process is complex.
