Referring to fig. 4 to 5, a first tapered tooth 41 is formed at one end of the adjusting member 40, a second tapered tooth 52 matched with the first tapered tooth 41 is disposed on one side of the adjusting plate 50 facing the upper cover 10, and the adjusting member 40 can drive the adjusting plate 50 to rotate when rotating. Wherein, the adjusting disk 50 is disposed between the upper cover 10 and the base 20, and the adjusting disk 50 and the upper cover 10 can be fixed by a stepped shaft shoulder, so that the adjusting disk 50 can rotate relative to the upper cover 10 and the base 20.

Specifically, the middle part of the upper cover 10 is sunk to form a groove 11, the nail mold 15 is fixed to the groove 11 by a fastener, and the diameter of the through hole 13 in the middle part of the nail mold 15 is larger than the outer diameter of the rivet 30 to ensure that the rivet 30 smoothly passes through the nail mold 15. In this embodiment, the die 15 has a variety of internal diameters selected to allow rivets 30 of different diameters to pass therethrough.

The upper cover 10, the base 20 and the adjusting plate 50 are all coaxially arranged, and when the rivet 30 needs to be fixed to the plate, the rivet 30 can be fixed to the plate by passing through the upper cover 10, the adjusting plate 50 and the base 20 in sequence by using an FDS riveter, for example.

The working principle of the device for centring rivets 30 provided in the present embodiment is explained in detail below: according to the size of the prefabricated hole of the plate to be connected, the adjusting piece 40 is rotated clockwise or anticlockwise, so that the adjusting disc 50 rotates, the adjusting disc 50 drives the plane thread 54 to rotate when rotating, the moving direction of the positioning claw 60 which is in contact with the plane thread 54 is limited by the guide groove 22, and the positioning claw 60 can only reciprocate along the length direction of the guide groove 22, so that the diameter of a circle formed by enclosing minor arcs 61 at the end parts of the three positioning claws 60 can be enlarged or reduced, and the matching concentricity of the device and the prefabricated hole on the plate is realized. In addition, the die 15 with different diameters can be selected according to the diameter of the rivet 30, and the die 15 is mounted on the upper cover 10, so that the rivet 30 can smoothly pass through the die 15 and can be operated repeatedly.
