Description

A rivet nut unit (RIVET NUT UNIT)

The present invention relates to a rivet nut unit, more particularly, to a rivet nut unit which is joined to at least one plate member and integrates the functions of a nut to reduce a work process and a cycle time and to improve a fastening force with a plate material will be.

In general, the mechanical fastening of various body panels made of different materials in a vehicle makes the connection with other parts accurate and robust by using weld nuts and bolts.

Such a mechanical fastening method has a disadvantage in that the welding process in which the weld nut is positioned on the basis of the holes formed on one side of the single piece panel which can be welded, and then welding is performed using a projection welding machine or the like.

In addition, since the welded nuts welded through the projection welding are limited to the steel material, it is necessary to connect the nuts in one or two overlapping steel plates having the steel material to energize the nuts. However, Value, and pressing force becomes difficult.

In recent years, non-ferrous metal materials such as aluminum have been applied in accordance with the trend of weight reduction of the vehicle body. Since there is a part to be applied only to the aluminum as the material of the body of the vehicle and a part to which aluminum and steel are applied simultaneously, It is difficult to mount the weld nut through the projection welding to the plate material, and a separate nut mounting method is required.

In order to solve the disadvantages of the weld nut, a rivet joint or a screw fastening method is applied by a mechanical fastening method. However, in order to keep the fastening force by the weld nut and the bolt, So that a large number of rub-out points or screw fastening portions must be formed unnecessarily.

The matters described in the background section are intended to enhance the understanding of the background of the invention and may include matters not previously known to those skilled in the art.
