Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glass processing technology, and more specifically, to a glass accessory bonding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of automotive glass, it is common to attach accessories such as positioning clips, limiting blocks, and sealing strips to the edges of the glass to form a glass assembly. During production, these accessories are typically installed manually by workers. After placing the accessory on the area to be bonded on the glass surface, workers manually press it to adhere it to the adhesive layer. Sealing strips on automotive windshields are usually installed in the same way. In practice, the pressing position, force, and duration vary depending on the worker's actions. This can cause the accessory to shift position during contact and adhesion with the adhesive layer. Furthermore, the adhesion state achieved by different workers, and even by the same worker at different stages of the process, can vary, resulting in different installation positions and adhesion states of the accessories on the glass. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a glass accessory bonding device, which aims to solve the technical problems of low positioning accuracy and inconsistent bonding quality during the manual installation of sealing strips in related technologies.

The suction cup is connected to the first lifting device so that the suction cup can be raised and lowered. The suction cup is used to adsorb the glass to be bonded. The positioning mechanism includes a conical positioning element, which is used to be inserted into a through hole on the glass to be bonded for positioning. The edge-blocking mechanism is used to abut against the edge of the glass to be bonded, thereby limiting the circumferential position of the glass to be bonded; The first conformal pressing mechanism includes a first shape adaptation component and a first moving mechanism. The first moving mechanism is connected to the first shape adaptation component. The first moving mechanism drives the first shape adaptation component to move. The first shape adaptation component has a first mating surface for carrying glass accessories. After the glass accessory is bonded to the glass to be bonded, the first moving mechanism drives the first shape-adapting component to clamp the glass accessory and the glass to be bonded.

[0005] In some implementations, the lifting mechanism further includes a universal assembly, which includes a ball seat and a universal ball. The universal ball is positioned on the ball seat, and the suction cup is fixed to the universal ball. The first lifting device is connected to the ball seat to drive the ball seat to rise and fall.

[0007] In some implementations, the edge-blocking mechanism includes a third linear device and an edge-blocking wheel. The edge-blocking wheel is rotatably mounted on the third linear device, which drives the edge-blocking wheel to make linear movements. The edge-blocking wheel is used to abut against the edge of the glass to be bonded.

[0008] In some implementations, the first shape-adapting component includes a first pressing block and a second pressing block, the first pressing block having a first mating surface having a negative pressure hole to adsorb the glass accessory by negative pressure; The second pressing block has a second mating surface that matches the shape of the surface of the glass to be bonded. The second pressing block is connected to the first moving mechanism, which drives the second pressing block to move in the direction of the first pressing block to clamp the glass accessory and the glass to be bonded. The first pressing block and the second pressing block are located on opposite sides of the glass to be bonded.

[0009] In some implementations, the first moving mechanism includes a first sub-part, which includes a first driving device and a second driving device. The first driving device is used to drive the second driving device to perform linear motion so that the second pressing block moves to a position opposite to the side of the glass to be bonded. The second driving device is used to drive the second pressing block to perform linear motion so that the second pressing block abuts against the side of the glass to be bonded.

[0010] In some implementations, the glass accessory bonding device further includes a first support mechanism, which includes a fourth linear device and a positioning plate. The positioning plate is mounted on the fourth linear device, which is used to drive the positioning plate to move up and down.

[0014] The main advantages of the glass accessory bonding device provided in this application are: This application achieves stable adsorption and height adjustment of the glass to be bonded by a suction cup under the action of a first lifting device. A conical positioning component is inserted into the through-hole on the glass to be bonded to achieve reference positioning. Simultaneously, a baffle mechanism provides circumferential limiting of the edge of the glass to be bonded, thereby reducing positional drift during assembly and improving the positioning accuracy of the glass to be bonded. Furthermore, a first contouring pressing mechanism, driven by a first moving mechanism, moves a first shape-adapting component and uses a first mating surface to uniformly clamp the glass attachment and the glass to be bonded. This helps reduce the impact of pressure differences applied by different operators on the bonding state, improves bonding consistency and positioning stability, and ensures bonding quality.

[0017] In related technologies, during the manufacturing process of automotive glass, it is common to bond accessories such as positioning buckles, limiting blocks, and sealing strips to the edges of the glass to form a glass assembly. During production, these accessories are typically installed manually by operators. The operator places the accessory on the area to be bonded on the glass surface and presses it manually to adhere it to the adhesive layer on the glass surface. Sealing strips on automotive windshields are usually installed in the same way. In actual operation, the pressing position, force, and duration of the accessories can change with the operator's actions. The accessories are prone to positional changes during contact and adhesion with the adhesive layer. The adhesion state also varies between different operators and even among the same operator at different stages of the process, resulting in different installation positions and adhesion states of the accessories on the glass. Therefore, this application provides a glass accessory bonding device 10 to solve the problems in related technologies.

[0018] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0019] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the glass accessory bonding device 10 provided in this embodiment includes: a lifting mechanism 11, a positioning mechanism 12, an edge-blocking mechanism 13, and a first contour pressing mechanism 14; the lifting mechanism 11 includes a suction cup 111 and a first lifting device 112, the suction cup 111 being connected to the first lifting device 112 so that the suction cup 111 can be raised and lowered, and the suction cup 111 is used to adsorb the glass 20 to be bonded; the positioning mechanism 12 includes a conical positioning member 121, the conical positioning member 121 being used to insert into a through hole on the glass 20 to be bonded for positioning; the edge-blocking mechanism 13 is used to hold the glass to be bonded. The edges of the glass 20 abut each other to circumferentially limit the glass 20 to be bonded; the first conformal pressing mechanism 14 includes a first shape adapter component 141 and a first moving mechanism. The first moving mechanism is connected to the first shape adapter component 141 and drives the first shape adapter component 141 to move. The first shape adapter component 141 has a first mating surface 1412 for carrying the glass accessory; wherein, after the glass accessory is bonded to the glass 20 to be bonded, the first moving mechanism drives the first shape adapter component 141 to clamp the glass accessory and the glass 20 to be bonded.

[0020] In this way, the suction cup 111 is stably adsorbed and its height is adjusted by the first lifting device 112. The conical positioning component 121 is inserted into the through hole on the glass 20 to achieve reference positioning. At the same time, the edge-blocking mechanism 13 limits the edge of the glass 20 to be bonded, thereby reducing position drift during the assembly process and improving the positioning accuracy of the glass 20 to be bonded. On this basis, the first contour pressing mechanism 14 drives the first shape-adapting component 141 to move under the drive of the first moving mechanism, and uses the first mating surface 1412 to uniformly clamp the glass accessory and the glass 20 to be bonded. This helps to reduce the impact of pressure differences applied by different operators on the bonding state, improve bonding consistency and positioning stability, and ensure bonding quality.

[0021] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the glass 20 to be bonded can be vehicle glass such as a windshield, rear windshield, or side window, and the glass accessories can be sealing strips or other mounting accessories. The following description uses a car windshield as an example, which has opposing outer and inner surfaces.

[0022] A weatherstripping is installed on the inner side of the windshield to provide both sealing and decorative functions in conjunction with the vehicle body structure. The weatherstripping can be attached to the inner side using adhesive methods, such as double-sided tape, adhesive, or other bonding structures. The weatherstripping can be made of rubber or elastomer materials to improve sealing performance and assembly reliability.

[0023] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the glass accessory bonding device 10 further includes a frame 15, on which the lifting mechanism 11, positioning mechanism 12, edge-blocking mechanism 13 and first contour pressing mechanism 14 are mounted. This allows each mechanism to maintain relative positional accuracy and structural rigidity during operation, thereby helping to reduce the probability of alignment error caused by deformation of the assembly substrate and improve the stability and consistency of the overall system operation.

[0024] For example, the frame 15 includes a platform 151 and a frame 152. The platform 151 can be fixedly connected to the frame 152 by welding or screws. The lifting mechanism 11, the positioning mechanism 12, the edge-blocking mechanism 13 and the first contour pressing mechanism 14 can be installed on the platform 151.

[0025] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the suction cup 111 can be connected to a negative pressure device, which includes, for example, a vacuum pump and a negative pressure pipeline connected to the suction cup 111. The negative pressure device generates negative pressure, causing the suction cup 111 to adhere to the inner surface of the glass 20 to be bonded. The adsorption and release states can be controlled by a control valve. This, combined with the first lifting device 112, enables the glass to be bonded to rise or fall.

[0026] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 12, the edge-blocking mechanism 13, and the first contouring pressing mechanism 14 are arranged around the lifting mechanism 11. The lifting mechanism 11 also includes a universal assembly 113, which includes a ball seat 1131 and a universal ball 1132. The universal ball 1132 is rotatably confined within the ball seat 1131 to achieve multi-angle posture adjustment. For example, a limit structure or damping structure is provided between the ball seat 1131 and the universal ball 1132 to prevent the universal ball 1132 from detaching and to improve motion stability. The suction cup 111 is fixed to the universal ball 1132, and the first lifting device 112 is connected to the ball seat 1131 to drive the ball seat 1131 to rise and fall, so that the suction cup 111 has posture self-adaptation capability during the rising and falling process, which is beneficial to improving the adhesion stability of the adsorption contact and reducing the uneven force caused by the small angle deviation of the glass surface.

[0027] For example, in the lifting mechanism 11, there can be multiple suction cups 111, multiple universal joints 113, and multiple first lifting devices 112. One suction cup 111 corresponds to one universal joint 113, and one universal joint 113 corresponds to one first lifting device 112. For example, there can be four suction cups 111, four universal joints 113, and four first lifting devices 112. The suction cups 111, universal joints 113, and first lifting devices 112 form a lifting section. The lifting mechanism 11 includes multiple lifting sections, such as four lifting sections, located at the four corners of a rectangle to provide stable support for the glass 20 to be bonded. The first lifting device 112 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or other linear drive device. The suction cups 111 can be made of plastic, such as nitrile plastic.

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 12 further includes a positioning sleeve 122, a first linear device 123, and a second linear device 124; a conical positioning member 121 is installed on the first linear device 123, which drives the conical positioning member 121 to move linearly; the positioning sleeve 122 is installed on the second linear device 124, which drives the positioning sleeve 122 to move linearly; the positioning sleeve 122 has a positioning hole that mates with the conical positioning member 121; a portion of the structure of the conical positioning member 121 can be inserted into the positioning hole, so that the conical positioning member 121 is gradually inserted into the positioning hole of the positioning sleeve 122 to complete the centering fit, thereby achieving precise guidance and positioning of the through hole position of the glass 20 to be bonded. This structure helps to reduce the probability of manual alignment error and assembly deviation, and can improve the controllability and consistency of the positioning process, while reducing the operational burden caused by repeated adjustments.

[0029] See Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, for example, the through hole can be a wiper mounting hole. In the height direction of the glass accessory bonding device 10, the tapered positioning member 121 is located below the positioning sleeve 122; the first linear device 123 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, or other linear drive device. The second linear device 124 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, or other linear drive device; thus, the first and second linear devices 124 are used to achieve linear movement of the tapered positioning member 121 and the positioning sleeve 122 in the height direction of the glass accessory bonding device 10, thereby achieving their approach and distance.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the positioning mechanism 12 may further include a first adjusting device 125. A first linear device 123 and a second linear device 124 are mounted on the first adjusting device 125 to enable the first linear device 123 and the second linear device 124 to move along a height direction perpendicular to the glass accessory bonding device 10, so that the first linear device 123 and the second linear device 124 can move in a horizontal plane, thereby adapting to the through-hole positions of glass 20 of different specifications to be bonded. The first adjusting device 125 may include a first base and a sixth linear device. The first linear device 123 and the second linear device 124 are mounted on the first base, and the sixth linear device is used to drive the first base to perform linear motion; the sixth linear device may be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or other linear drive device.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the glass accessory bonding device 10 further includes an auxiliary support platform 16, which has a third mating surface 161 that matches the shape of the surface of the glass 20 to be bonded. This allows the glass 20 to be bonded to receive surface contact support during placement, thereby forming a uniform support constraint on the overall posture of the glass. This helps to reduce stress concentration and the probability of slight deformation caused by local point contact, and improves the stability and bonding consistency of the glass in the bonding station.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, for example, the auxiliary support platform 16 is fixed on the platform 151; the auxiliary support platform 16 can be arranged opposite to the positioning mechanism 12; the auxiliary support platform 16 can contact the inner surface of the glass 20 to be bonded.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the edge-blocking mechanism 13 includes a third linear device 131 and an edge-blocking wheel 132. The edge-blocking wheel 132 is rotatably mounted on the third linear device 131. The third linear device 131 is used to drive the edge-blocking wheel 132 to make linear movements. The edge-blocking wheel 132 is used to abut against the edge of the glass 20 to be bonded. In this way, a circumferential limiting constraint is formed by rolling contact, thereby controlling the lateral displacement of the glass during the bonding and pressing process. This helps to reduce the possibility of edge offset and position drift during assembly, and improves the stability of the glass placement posture. At the same time, the rolling contact form can reduce local friction and wear.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, exemplarily, the third linear device 131 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, or other linear drive device. The third linear device 131 is used to drive the edge-guarding wheel 132 to move along the horizontal plane; the number of edge-guarding mechanisms 13 can be multiple, for example, four, with multiple edge-guarding mechanisms 13 symmetrically distributed around the circumference of the glass 20 to be bonded, forming multi-point limiting support for the glass 20 to be bonded. The edge-guarding wheel 132 can include a buffer layer, which can be made of silicone, rubber, or polyurethane material to improve the flexibility of contact with the glass edge and reduce contact impact. The edge-guarding wheel 132 can be made of polyoxymethylene (POM) material.

[0035] It is understandable that multiple edge-blocking mechanisms 13 can have the same structure, or they can be set to different types of edge-blocking mechanisms 13 according to the limiting requirements of different positions, such as different driving methods or different contact structures, in order to improve the adaptability to different specifications of glass 20 to be bonded.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the first shape-adapting component 141 includes a first pressing block 1411 and a second pressing block 1414. The first pressing block 1411 has a first mating surface 1412 with a negative pressure hole (not shown) to adsorb the glass attachment through negative pressure. The second pressing block 1414 has a second mating surface 1415, which matches the shape of the surface of the glass 20 to be bonded. The second pressing block 1414 is connected to a first moving mechanism, which is used to drive the second pressing block 1414 to move in the direction of the first pressing block 1411 to clamp the glass attachment and the glass 20 to be bonded. The first pressing block 1411 and the second pressing block 1414 are located on opposite sides of the glass 20 to be bonded, which makes the force distribution more uniform during the clamping process, which helps to reduce the possibility of local stress concentration and attachment displacement, improve the consistency and stability of bonding, and reduce the impact of manual pressing differences.

[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, for example, the first pressing block 1411 is detachably fixed to the platform 151, which facilitates disassembly and adjustment of the relative position of the first pressing block 1411 on the platform 151. The first mating surface 1412 is also provided with a limiting groove 1413, and a negative pressure hole is opened at the bottom of the limiting groove 1413. The limiting groove 1413 is used to initially position the glass accessory, and the negative pressure hole is used to achieve stable adsorption and fixation. The negative pressure hole can be connected to a negative pressure device, which is used to vacuum adsorb and fix the glass accessory. After the glass accessory is positioned, glue or other adhesive can be applied between the glass accessory and the inner surface of the glass 20 to be bonded, so as to achieve bonding and fixation between the two. The number of second pressing blocks 1414 in the first shape adapter assembly 141 can be multiple, and the number of first pressing blocks 1411 can also be one or more; multiple first pressing blocks 1411 are arranged along the side of the glass 20 to be bonded for fixing the glass accessory.

[0038] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the glass accessory bonding device 10 further includes a bonding state control component, which is disposed within the first shape adaptation component 141. The bonding state control component includes a heating unit and a vibration unit. The heating unit can be a flexible heating sheet, an infrared heating sheet, or other heating devices, used to heat the bonding area between the glass accessory and the glass 20 to be bonded, thereby improving the flowability and wetting performance of the adhesive. When the first shape adaptation component 141 is held in a clamping state, the heating unit and the vibration unit work together according to a preset timing sequence. The heating unit first heats the bonding area to a preset wetting temperature. While maintaining the preset wetting temperature, the vibration unit starts and applies micro-vibration to the first mating surface 1412. For example, the vibration unit can be an ultrasonic transducer, a piezoelectric vibrator, or other micro-vibration generating device. The micro-vibration generated by the vibrator is transmitted to the bonding area through the first mating surface 1412 to promote further spreading of the adhesive and facilitate the removal of local air bubbles and the release of stress at the bonding interface. By setting up an adhesive bonding state control component, the spreading effect of the adhesive between the glass accessory and the glass to be bonded 20 can be improved, the uniformity of the bonding interface can be increased, and local stress concentration can be reduced, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the glass accessory after bonding.

[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the first moving mechanism includes a first sub-part 1421, which includes a first driving device 1422 and a second driving device 1423. The first driving device 1422 drives the second driving device 1423 to perform linear motion, so that the second pressing block 1414 moves to a position opposite to the side of the glass 20 to be bonded. The second driving device 1423 drives the second pressing block 1414 to perform linear motion, so that the second pressing block 1414 abuts against the side of the glass 20 to be bonded. The first driving device 1422 and the second driving device 1423 constitute a graded linear drive structure of the first sub-part 1421, thereby realizing a staged and controllable clamping and approaching process. This structure helps to reduce the risk of bonding deviation caused by rapid impact contact and improves the stability and alignment accuracy of the pressing process.

[0040] See Figure 9 As shown, exemplarily, the first driving device 1422 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, or other linear drive device. The second driving device 1423 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, or other linear drive device. The first sub-part 1421 also includes a second base and a linear slide rail. The second driving device 1423 is mounted on the second base, and the second base is mounted on the slider of the linear slide rail. The first driving device 1422 is used to drive the second base to perform linear motion, thereby enabling the second driving device 1423 to move along the horizontal plane. There can be multiple first sub-parts 1421, and each first sub-part 1421 can correspond to one second pressure block 1414, that is, each first sub-part 1421 is used to drive the movement of one second pressure block 1414.

[0041] See Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the glass accessory bonding device 10 further includes a second contour pressing mechanism 17, which includes a second shape adaptation component 171 and a second moving mechanism 172. The second moving mechanism 172 is connected to the second shape adaptation component 171 and drives the second shape adaptation component 171 to move.

[0042] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 11As shown, by way of example, the second shape-adapting component 171 includes a third pressing block 1711 and a fourth pressing block 1713. The third pressing block 1711 has a fourth mating surface 1712. The third pressing block 1711 is fixed on the platform 151, and the fourth mating surface 1712 matches the inner surface of the glass 20 to be bonded. The fourth pressing block 1713 has a fifth mating surface 1714, which matches the outer surface of the glass 20 to be bonded. The second moving mechanism 172 includes a third driving device 1721, which is connected to the fourth pressing block 1713. The third driving device 1721 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, or other linear drive device. The third driving device 1721 can drive the fourth pressing block 1713 to move in a straight line. The running path of the fourth pressing block 1713 is set at an acute angle with the surface of the platform 151, which can fix the position of the glass 20 to be bonded. The number of second contour pressing mechanisms 17 can be multiple, for example, two, with the two second contour pressing mechanisms 17 located on opposite sides of the length extension direction of the first pressing block 1411.

[0043] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the glass accessory bonding device 10 further includes a first support mechanism 18, which includes a fourth linear device 181 and a positioning plate 182. The positioning plate 182 is mounted on the fourth linear device 181, and the fourth linear device 181 is used to drive the positioning plate 182 to rise and fall. The surface of the positioning plate 182 can abut against the surface of the glass 20 to be bonded, which can form auxiliary support and height reference constraint, and is also conducive to stabilizing the overall posture of the glass during bonding and clamping, reducing the possibility of slight deformation or positional displacement caused by local force or self-weight.

[0044] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, exemplarily, the fourth linear device 181 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, or other linear drive device. There can be multiple first support mechanisms 18, for example, four, which are positioned close to the second conformal pressing mechanism 17. The positioning plate 182 may have a buffer layer. The positioning plate 182 is capable of abutting against the inner surface of the glass 20 to be bonded.

[0045] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the glass accessory bonding device 10 further includes a second support mechanism 19. The second support mechanism 19 includes a fifth linear device 191 and a positioning post 192. The positioning post 192 is mounted on the fifth linear device 191, which is used to drive the positioning post 192 to move up and down. The end of the positioning post 192 is provided with a spherical cap surface 1921. The spherical cap surface 1921 can abut against the inner surface of the glass 20 to be bonded and can adapt to local curvature changes of the glass, thereby improving contact stability and reducing contact stress concentration. This is beneficial for providing multi-point adaptive support without damaging the glass surface, and improving the stability of the glass in the bonding station.

[0046] See Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, exemplarily, the fifth linear device 191 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, or other linear drive device. Multiple second support mechanisms 19 can be provided, for example, four, with the multiple second support mechanisms 19 positioned close to the second conforming pressing mechanism 17 and close to the first support mechanism 18. A buffer layer can be provided on the spherical cap surface 1921.

[0047] It should be noted that in some other possible embodiments, a flexible support member, such as a flexible airbag, may also be provided at the end of the positioning post 192. The flexible airbag is connected to an inflation device and, after inflation, can abut against the inner surface of the glass 20 to be bonded, and undergo elastic deformation according to the curvature of the glass surface to further improve the support and fit, and reduce local contact stress. For example, the inflation pressure of the flexible airbag can be adjusted according to the curvature of the glass 20 to be bonded or the support requirements.

[0048] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 11, positioning mechanism 12, edge-blocking mechanism 13, first support mechanism 18, and second support mechanism 19 cooperate to achieve position adjustment along the X, Y, and Z directions to adapt to the installation requirements of glass 20 of different specifications to be bonded and glass accessories of different specifications. The Z direction is parallel to the height direction of the glass accessory bonding device 10; the Y direction can be parallel to the length direction of the platform 151; and the X direction can be parallel to the width direction of the platform 151.

[0051] In some embodiments, this application also provides a method for bonding glass accessories, which is implemented using the glass accessory bonding device 10 of any of the above embodiments.

[0052] The method for bonding glass accessories includes the following steps: First, the glass 20 to be bonded is cleaned, and a primer is applied to the predetermined bonding area to improve bonding reliability. Then, a negative pressure device is activated, causing the first shape-adapter component 141 to adsorb and fix the glass accessory, placing it in a preset installation position. Next, the glass 20 to be bonded is placed on the lifting mechanism 11, positioned by the positioning mechanism 12, and centered by the edge-blocking mechanism 13, aligning the glass 20 with a preset reference position. Subsequently, the first moving mechanism drives the first shape-adapter component 141, and the second moving mechanism 172 drives the second shape-adapter component 171, causing the glass accessory to adhere to the glass 20. During the pressing process, the first contour pressing mechanism 14 maintains a preset pressure holding time to allow the glass accessory and the glass 20 to bond to complete bonding and curing. After pressure holding is complete, the clamping state of each positioning mechanism 12 is released, and the glass 20 is lifted by the lifting mechanism 11 to remove the bonded glass.
