Device for assembling, tuning, and testing motor vehicles.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device used for assembling, adjusting and testing vehicles, and the device is the so-called assembly line used in the automobile factory. Along the assembly line, the vehicles are transmitted to each unit to be assembled and further processing is undertaken when necessary. The further processing is undertaken by workers or by robots. The vehicles to be manufactured are continuously moved forward via plate type belts driven by chains, ropes or belts at the terminal of the assembly line. The plate type belts can be sunk into the ground and can be combined with a left wheel, a right wheel or all the vehicle wheels. When using only one plate type belt, then the vehicle rolls onto the other two wheels. In order to accomplish a transportable device which is used for assembling vehicles, capable of being arranged on any position of an even workshop without having to make alterations to the roof or the floor, the following suggestions are made within the scope of the invention: the device is composed of movable, modular and inter-connectable units and the units can be mounted on a flat surface without requirements for grooves or roof loading. The device comprises a transmission and assembling apparatus used by vehicles to be assembled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for assembling, adjusting and testing vehicles. [0002] So-called assembly lines are used in car factories. Along these assembly lines, the cars under manufacture are transported to cells, assembled and, if required, further processed. Further processing is done by workers or robots. At the end of the assembly line, the cars under manufacture run continuously on wheels by means of a slatted belt with chain, rope or belt drive or on sliding platforms (skillet) or suspended on a transport hook forward motion. These slab belt or sliding platform units can be sunk into the ground and they incorporate the left, right or all wheels of the car. When only one slatted belt is used, then the car rolls onto the other two wheels. Background technique [0003] DE 199 11 861 C2 describes a conveyor belt for a vehicle assembly line with a transfer area on the exit side. The transition area connects the conveyor belt to a trans...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] Another problem is that on such an assembly line the suspension transport of the vehicles ends at the latest before the end of the line, where the final inspection of the vehicles takes place

Because the automatic conveying of the vehicles ends before the area at the end of the assembly line, the vehicles must be driven from one test stand to another by workers, which requires more manpower input, and also causes the emission of harmful substances, which must be sucked out

In addition, for example, on a rolling test stand, there are disadvantages that the tires are mounted on the vehicle, since these tires can be damaged when the vehicle is tested on the rolling test stand and there are restrictions on the maximum speed of the wheels on the rolling test stand and Restrictions on tire type (e.g. no winter tires)
