PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE In current designs, there is a shaft that passes through the top profile of the door and runs its entire length. The shaft is supported by a rigid plastic flanged bushing. However, the tolerance that occurs in this case... Water enters the vehicle through the gaps. To eliminate this problem, plastic 15 Sealant is applied to the bushing. This prevents leakage problems. This process is being carried out. However, this process presents a long and difficult situation in terms of labor. Because mastic application is done manually, the resulting appearances vary considerably. This situation arises because the component is absorbing water or is not aesthetically pleasing as it should be. This ensures that it is not visible. Furthermore, the manual process results in poor quality. 20 However, after the sealant application, the sealants must be ready for assembly of the component. It needs to dry. During this time, the sealant may deteriorate or may not dry completely. It is necessary to wait for a certain amount of time. Therefore, the materials do not experience bottlenecks in the production line. To prevent this, the line is fed by stockpiling. The use of mastic requires lengthy labor. In addition to the delays and poor quality, it also creates a need for storage space on the production line. 25 Currently, the rear door latch locks the door assembly via a pin that passes through the upper door profile. It grips tightly. The beak position, which wraps tightly around the shaft, and the flatness of the surface on which the vehicle is resting, Due to manufacturing tolerances of the components or sag of the rear supports, the above or below It is located below. In this case, during beak operation, there is a 30 cm gap between the shaft and the top profile of the door. It deforms the applied mastic. This is because the mastic height is excessive. Sealing problems can occur after the sealant deforms. Post-sales repair. During the process, the sealants applied to the top profile of the door were cleaned one by one, and after the renovation... Reapplying the sealant increases labor times in after-sales service. This Therefore, there is a need for a process that solves the sealing problem in the top profile of the door without using mastic. 35 It is located. 2 As a result of research conducted in the literature, the application numbered “2011 / 07012” and “Mastic application” A Turkish patent application titled "machine" was found. The application in question... A tube of mastic will be placed on the parts to be treated, at the designated application points. Includes applicator tips that enable automatic application of the sealant contained within. It relates to a mastic application machine. However, the mentioned application includes trailers and semi-trailers. plastic bushings used in the rear panel assembly of this type of vehicle, located in the upper door profiles. A door top profile that provides a watertight seal by eliminating the need for a sealant application. No evidence of a leakage system was found. Ultimately, the problems mentioned above, which cannot be solved with the current technology, are addressed in the relevant technical 10. This has made it necessary to make an innovation in the field.
