[0028] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 3 A windshield installation tool according to some embodiments of the present application is described.

[0029] The present application provides a windshield installation tool for installing a windshield on an assembly device such as a radiator or an intercooler that requires a windshield to be installed. Figure 1 As shown, the windshield installation tool includes a frame 1 and a press-fit assembly 2.

[0030] The assembly equipment that needs to be installed with a windshield can be placed on the rack 1, and the rack 1 is used to support and position the assembly equipment. Preferably, the rack 1 includes a base 11 and a support frame 12, and the base 11 can be placed on a horizontal platform, such as the ground or a construction operation platform. The support frame 12 is located above the base 11, and the lower end of the support frame 12 is fixedly connected to the base 11; the support frame 12 has a predetermined width along the first direction a, and the support frame 12 has a predetermined height along the second direction b. The lower end of the support frame 12 is provided with a first limit quick change 3 and a second limit quick change 4, and the first limit quick change 3 and the second limit quick change 4 are arranged at intervals along the first direction a; the first limit quick change 3 and the second limit quick change 4 respectively form a limit groove, and when the assembly equipment is placed on the support frame 12, the end of the assembly equipment to be installed with the windshield is placed upward, the lower end of the assembly equipment is placed in the limit groove, and the main body of the assembly equipment is leaned on the support frame 12, so that the assembly equipment is supported by the rack 1.

[0031] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, a third limit quick changer 5 is also provided on the column on one side of the support frame 12. When the assembly equipment is placed on the support frame 12, one end of the assembly equipment along the first direction a can abut against the third limit quick changer 5 to position the assembly equipment through the third limit quick changer 5; thereby, the assembly equipment is supported by the first limit quick changer 3 and the second limit quick changer 4, and the assembly equipment is positioned in the vertical direction at the same time; the assembly equipment is positioned in the horizontal direction through the third limit quick changer 5.

[0032] Preferably, the first limit quick changer 3, the second limit quick changer 4 and the third limit quick changer 5 are all detachably connected to the support frame 12, and the appropriate first limit quick changer 3, the second limit quick changer 4 and the third limit quick changer 5 can be replaced according to assembly equipment of different sizes or shapes to provide stable support and positioning for the assembly equipment.

[0033] In this embodiment, if Figure 1As shown, the press-fitting assembly 2 is slidably connected to the frame 1, so that the press-fitting assembly 2 can move horizontally from one end of the frame 1 to the other end. When installing a windshield on the assembly equipment, the windshield must first be placed at the windshield installation position on the upper end of the assembly equipment; the press-fitting assembly 2 can press on the windshield, exert a downward force on the windshield, so that the windshield at the pressed position is installed in place on the assembly equipment; in the initial position, the press-fitting assembly 2 is located at one end of the frame 1 and also at one end of the windshield. The press-fitting assembly 2 presses down one end of the windshield, so that one end of the windshield at the pressed position is pressed into place with the assembly equipment. As the press-fitting assembly 2 moves on the frame 1, the press-fitting assembly 2 moves from one end of the windshield to the other end of the windshield, and the windshield is completely pressed into place on the assembly equipment, thereby efficiently and quickly completing the installation of the windshield and the assembly equipment.

[0034] After the windshield at one end of the assembly device is installed, the assembly device can be placed upside down on the rack 1 to install the windshield at the other end of the assembly device.

[0035] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the press assembly 2 includes a press wheel 21 and a mounting support 22; a guide rail is arranged on the top crossbeam of the frame 1, and the guide rail is arranged in the horizontal direction which is the same as the extension direction of the wind shield; the mounting support 22 is slidably connected to the guide rail through a slider, so that the mounting slider can slide along the guide rail, thereby enabling the mounting slider to move from one end of the wind shield to the other end of the wind shield.

[0036] The pressing wheel 21 is pivotally connected to the mounting support 22 through a bracket, so that the pressing wheel 21 can move synchronously with the mounting support 22, and the pressing wheel 21 can rotate around its own axis. When the windshield is pressed, the pressing wheel 21 can be pressed on the windshield, and the side wall of the pressing wheel 21 abuts against the upper end surface of the windshield, and exerts a downward force on the windshield. With the movement of the mounting support 22, the pressing wheel 21 will roll from one end of the length direction of the windshield to the other end, so that the windshield is completely installed in place on the assembly equipment.

[0037] In this embodiment, the pressing wheel 21 can move in the vertical direction on the mounting support 22; preferably, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the pressing assembly 2 also includes a connecting plate 23, and the pressing wheel 21 is pivotally connected to the connecting plate 23 through a bracket, so that the pressing wheel 21 can rotate around its own axis, and at the same time, the pressing wheel 21 is slidably connected to the mounting support 22 through the connecting plate 23, so that the pressing wheel 21 and the connecting plate 23 can move along the second direction b on the mounting support 22, so that the pressing wheel 21 moves in the direction close to or away from the windshield. Before the windshield is pressed, the pressing wheel 21 can be lifted upward from the assembly equipment so that the windshield can be placed on the assembly equipment; when the windshield is pressed, the pressing wheel 21 is pressed downward on the windshield for subsequent pressing operations; after the windshield is pressed, the pressing wheel 21 is moved upward away from the windshield again to remove the assembly equipment with the windshield assembled from the rack 1.

[0038] Preferably, the pressing assembly 2 includes a driving device, which is fixedly arranged on the mounting support 22. The driving end of the driving device is connected to the connecting plate 23. The driving device can drive the connecting plate 23 to reciprocate along the second direction b on the mounting support 22, thereby driving the pressing wheel 21 to rise and fall along the second direction b, so that the pressing wheel 21 is lifted off the windshield or pressed against the windshield.

[0039] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving device includes an eccentric wheel 24 and an elastic member 27. The eccentric wheel 24 is used to drive the connecting plate 23 and the pressure wheel 21 to move downward so that the pressure wheel 21 is pressed against the windshield; the elastic member 27 is used to drive the connecting plate 23 and the pressure wheel 21 to move upward so that the pressure wheel 21 is lifted upward from the windshield.

[0040] Preferably, the eccentric wheel 24 is pivotally connected to the mounting support 22 through an eccentric shaft, and a handle 26 is provided on the eccentric wheel 24. By pulling the handle 26 up and down, the eccentric wheel 24 can swing up and down around the eccentric shaft; the side wall of the eccentric wheel 24 can abut against the upper end of the connecting plate 23. When the operator pulls the handle 26 downward, the eccentric wheel 24 can swing downward, and the eccentric wheel 24 will push the connecting plate 23 and the hand wheel to move downward; the operator continues to apply a downward force to the handle 26, so that the pressing wheel 21 is pressed on the windshield with a certain pressure, so as to press the corresponding windshield into place on the assembly equipment.

[0041] At the same time, the operator can apply force to the mounting bracket 22 by pushing the handle 26 in the horizontal direction, so that the mounting bracket 22 reciprocates along the first direction a on the frame 1, so that the pressure wheel 21 rolls from one end of the wind shield to the other end of the wind shield, completing the assembly of the wind shield and the assembly equipment.

[0042] Preferably, if Figure 2As shown, a roller 25 is provided at one end of the connecting plate 23 facing the eccentric wheel 24, and the roller 25 is pivotally connected to the end of the connecting plate 23 so that the roller 25 can rotate around its own axis, and the connecting plate 23 abuts against the eccentric wheel 24 through the roller 25; thereby, the eccentric wheel 24 can more smoothly push the connecting plate 23 and the pressure wheel 21 to move downward.

[0043] In this embodiment, the resetting of the pressure wheel 21 is achieved by driving the elastic member 27; preferably, the elastic member 27 is arranged along the second direction b, and one end of the elastic member 27 is connected to the mounting support 22, and the other end of the elastic member 27 is connected to the bracket of the pressure wheel 21; when the pressure wheel 21 moves downward relative to the mounting support 22 driven by the eccentric wheel 24, the elastic member 27 is stretched; when the installation of the windshield is completed, the pressure wheel 21 needs to be reset, the operator releases the handle 26 on the eccentric wheel 24, the operator no longer continues to provide a downward force on the pressure wheel 21, and the pressure wheel 21 will move upward under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 27, and push the eccentric wheel 24 upward through the connecting plate 23, so that the eccentric wheel 24 swings upward until the pressure wheel 21 is reset.

[0044] In the specific operation process, the operator first places the assembly device on the frame 1, and places the windshield on the assembly device; at this time, the pressure wheel 21 is located at a predetermined height above the windshield under the action of the elastic member 27. Then the operator pushes the handle 26 on the eccentric wheel 24 in the horizontal direction to move the press assembly 2 to one end of the windshield, and then pulls the handle 26 downward to move the pressure wheel 21 downward and presses it on the windshield with a certain pressure; then the operator pulls the handle 26 in the horizontal direction again to move the press assembly 2 from one end of the windshield to the other end, completing the assembly of the windshield and the assembly device; finally, the operator releases the handle 26, and the pressure wheel 21 moves upward to return to the initial position under the elastic force of the elastic member 27.

[0045] Therefore, the semi-automatic installation of the windshield can be realized through the windshield installation tool, which improves the production efficiency and reduces the labor intensity of the operator.

[0046] In this embodiment, preferably, the elastic member 27 is a spring, and the number of the springs can be multiple, and the multiple springs simultaneously provide an upward elastic force to the pressing wheel 21 to reset the pressing wheel 21. Preferably, the number of the springs is two, and the two springs are spaced apart and arranged on both sides of the axis direction of the pressing wheel 21.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, an error-proofing component is further provided on the base 11 of the rack 1, and the error-proofing component extends upward to a predetermined height. When the windshield is installed at one end of the assembly device and the windshield needs to be assembled at the other end of the assembly device, the assembly device needs to be turned upside down and placed back on the rack 1, that is, the end on which the windshield has been assembled is placed at the lower end. If the windshield at this end is assembled in the wrong direction, the windshield will be squeezed by the error-proofing component, causing the windshield to deform, thereby reminding the operator that the windshield is assembled incorrectly.

[0048] In this embodiment, preferably, Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 12 and the base 11 have a predetermined inclination angle. Preferably, the inclination angle between the support frame 12 and the base 11 is 60 degrees to improve the operating comfort of the operator when assembling the windshield through the windshield installation tool.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
