Home Appliance Industry


Rivet nuts are mainly used in the home appliance industry in the following scenarios:

Air conditioner outdoor unit connection

In the production of air conditioner outdoor units, rivet nuts are commonly used for the quick fastening of metal sheets, such as the connection between the compressor bracket and the casing. Traditional tools caused M4 nuts to fall off due to unstable pressure. After improving the tools, the pull-out force increased to 2100N, exceeding the national standard by 40%, effectively reducing rework and customer complaints.

Cabinet assembly

High-end cabinet units use hidden rivet nut technology, reducing installation time from 90 minutes to 40 minutes while solving screw loosening issues. Similar technology is also applied to the internal structure assembly of air conditioner cabinets, enhancing stability and simplifying the installation process.

Accessory fastening

For home appliance accessories such as control panel brackets and heat dissipation fins made of light metal parts, using stainless steel rivet nuts can avoid welding deformation while ensuring a compact and aesthetic structure. Some models use knurled designs to increase friction and prevent loosening.

Production line efficiency improvement

Special pneumatic rivet guns used in air conditioner production lines reduce errors through millimeter-level precise positioning systems, controlling verticality error within 0.3°, increasing daily output by 35%, and significantly reducing labor costs.
