Trifold Rivets Application in the Automotive Industry
Automotive interior assembly
Lantern rivets are often used to connect components such as plastic instrument panels, interior trim panels and automotive interior decorations. These parts are mostly made of fragile or soft materials like plastics. The three folded feet formed after the riveting of lantern rivets can distribute the clamping force, avoiding damage to the riveted materials. Meanwhile, rivets with large caps can increase the riveting area and further disperse the riveting load.
Automotive exterior connection
Lantern rivets are extensively applied in the assembly of automotive bumpers. They have good load - bearing capacity and stability, are suitable for connecting various metal and non - metal materials, and can meet the requirements of reinforced assembly between bumpers and vehicle body structures. In addition, lantern rivets are also used for fixing some automotive lamps, and their structure can provide reliable connection in vibrating environments.
Automotive ventilation system
In the automotive ventilation system, lantern rivets can be used to connect related components. The components of the ventilation system usually need to be connected with materials such as rubber and plastics, and the characteristics of lantern rivets make them well - adapted to these materials, ensuring the firmness and tightness of the connection.
Installation of automotive electronic equipment
Lantern rivets are also adopted for connecting the casings or brackets of electronic equipment inside the car, such as audio systems and on - board computers. They can realize the reliable connection of components like thin metal plates or plastic casings without damaging electronic components.
Automotive tarpaulin fixation
For some trucks or cars equipped with tarpaulins, lantern - type rivet nuts can be used to fix the tarpaulins. Their expanded structure has a large contact surface, which can fix the tarpaulins more firmly.
