The application of ring groove rivets in new energy vehicles is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
-
Body Structure Connection
The body structure of new energy vehicles requires lightweight and high-strength connection methods. Ring groove rivets, known for their high strength and lightweight characteristics, are widely used in the connection of body frames, roofs, and door and window frames. For example, Tesla Model 3 extensively uses aluminum ring groove rivets for body connections. These rivets not only provide sufficient clamping force and vibration resistance but also effectively prevent loosening.
-
Battery Pack Connection
The battery pack is a critical component in new energy vehicles, requiring high reliability and durability. Ring groove rivets are used to connect the battery pack housing, ensuring stability under vibration and impact conditions. For example, Boslon Company provides customized ring groove rivet solutions for new energy vehicle battery trays, meeting the needs for high-strength sheet connections and connections between different materials.
-
Interior Component Connection
Ring groove rivets are also used for connecting interior components in new energy vehicles, such as armrests and instrument panels. These areas require both aesthetic appeal and reliable connections.
-
Lightweight and High Performance
New energy vehicles have high requirements for lightweight design. The aluminum alloy material of ring groove rivets can effectively reduce the vehicle's weight while maintaining high strength and corrosion resistance. For example, the usage rate of aluminum alloy rivets in the automotive manufacturing industry has reached over 60%.
-
Installation Efficiency and Reliability
The installation process of ring groove rivets is simple and quick, typically completed using specialized tools like pneumatic rivet guns, significantly improving production efficiency. Moreover, these rivets have superior vibration resistance, maintaining stable connections even in vibrating environments.
-
Future Development Trends
With the continuous development of new energy vehicle technology, the application scope of ring groove rivets will further expand. For example, the ring groove rivet technology from CRRC Yangtze River Group has been successfully applied in the new energy vehicle field and is also widely used in railway freight cars, high-speed rail, and urban rail transit.
In summary, ring groove rivets have a broad application prospect in new energy vehicles. Their high strength, lightweight, vibration resistance, and installation efficiency make them an indispensable fastener in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles.
