[0008] The error-proofing component includes at least one set, each set of error-proofing components including a pull rod, a movable positioning post and a spring. The pull rod is rotatably connected to the card plate via a rotating shaft. The end of the pull rod is formed with a locking tooth that can extend into the buckle hole. The movable positioning post is fixed to the pull rod. One end of the spring is connected to the pull rod and the other end is connected to the card plate.

[0009] When the movable positioning post comes into contact with the glass, the pull rod rotates around the pivot, causing the locking teeth to disengage from the locking hole; when the movable positioning post disengages from the glass, under the action of the spring, the pull rod rotates around the pivot, causing the locking teeth to extend into the locking hole.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, the card plate is provided with a sliding groove that cooperates with the pull rod, and the pull rod can rotate within the sliding groove.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, the fixed positioning post is used to position the two adjacent sides of the glass; there are two sets of error prevention components, namely the first error prevention component and the second error prevention component, which are respectively set for the two adjacent sides.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, in the first error-proof component, the pull rod is T-shaped, the movable positioning post and the locking tooth are respectively disposed at both ends of the pull rod, and the rotating shaft is connected to the bottom of the pull rod; in the natural state, the spring applies a pushing force to the pull rod, causing the locking tooth to extend into the buckle hole.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, in the first error-proof component, the spring is positioned close to the movable positioning post.

[0014] According to the above technical solution, in the second anti-error component, the pull rod is F-shaped, the rotating shaft and the movable positioning post are respectively disposed on the two arms of the pull rod, the locking tooth is disposed at the bottom of the pull rod, and the movable positioning post is disposed between the locking tooth and the rotating shaft; in the natural state, the spring applies a pushing force to the pull rod, causing the locking tooth to extend into the buckle hole.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 17This invention provides a car windshield clip installation fixture for assisting in the installation of clips onto a car windshield 1. The fixture includes a clamping plate 2, fixed positioning posts 3, and anti-misalignment components. The clamping plate 2 has a through-hole 201 that engages with the clip. Several fixed positioning posts 3 are fixed to the clamping plate 2, and are spaced apart along the edge of the glass 1. When all fixed positioning posts 3 simultaneously abut against the side of the glass 1, precise positioning of the fixture on the glass 1 is achieved. At least one set of anti-misalignment components is provided, each set including a pull rod 4, a movable positioning post 5, and a spring. The pull rod 4 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 2 via a rotating shaft 6, and can rotate around the shaft 6 on the clamping plate 2. One end of the pull rod 4 has a locking tooth 401 that can extend into the clip hole 201. The movable positioning post 5 is fixed to the pull rod 4, and the axis of the movable positioning post 5 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 6 and the axis of the fixed positioning post 3. One end of the spring is connected to the pull rod 4, and the other end of the spring is connected to the clamping plate 2. In its natural state, under the action of the spring, the clamping tooth 401 extends into the snap-fit ​​hole 201. When the fixture is positioned on the glass 1, when the movable positioning post 5 abuts against the glass 1, the pull rod 4 rotates around the rotating shaft 6 under the pushing force of the glass 1, and the clamping tooth 401 exits from the snap-fit ​​hole 201. When all the fixed positioning posts 3 and all the movable positioning posts 5 abut against the glass 1 at the same time, the fixture is positioned on the glass 1. At this time, the clamping tooth 401 also completely exits from the snap-fit ​​hole 201. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 15 to 17 As shown. After the locking teeth 401 are fully disengaged, the worker can place the clip into the clip hole 201 and attach it to the glass 1. After removing the fixture, under the action of the spring, the pull rod 4 rotates around the pivot 6 to reset the locking teeth 401 and allow them to re-enter the clip hole 201.

[0039] Preferably, because in this embodiment of the invention, it is only necessary for the pull rod 4 to rotate until the locking tooth 401 disengages from the locking hole 201, without requiring a large rotation, a groove 202 conforming to the shape of the pull rod 4 is provided on the locking plate 2 to limit the rotation angle of the pull rod 4. The pull rod 4 is installed in the groove 202 and can rotate within the groove 202. To allow the pull rod 4 to rotate, the size of the groove 202 is larger than the size of the pull rod 4, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0040] Glass 1 has a first side 101 and a second side 102, which are arranged adjacent to each other. Specifically, for precise positioning, the fixing positioning posts 3 are divided into two groups. One group of fixing positioning posts 3 is used to position the first side 101 of the glass, and the other group of fixing positioning posts 3 is used to position the second side 102 of the glass. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 17Preferably, to achieve three-point positioning, there are three fixed positioning posts 3, one of which is used to position the first side 101 of the glass, and the other two are used to position the second side 102 of the glass. In a most preferred embodiment of the present invention, to ensure that the tooling is accurately positioned relative to both the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the glass, there are two sets of error-proofing components, namely a first error-proofing component and a second error-proofing component. The first error-proofing component is correspondingly arranged to the first side 101 of the glass. The second error-proofing component is correspondingly arranged to the second side 102 of the glass. In this embodiment of the present invention, the first error-proofing component includes a first pull rod 4a, a first movable positioning post 5a, and a first spring. The first pull rod 4a is installed in the first slide groove 202a and connected to the clamping plate 2 through a first rotating shaft 6a. The first pull rod 4a is T-shaped, and the first movable positioning post 5a and the first clamping tooth 401a are respectively arranged at both ends of the first pull rod 4a. The first rotating shaft 6a is connected to the bottom of the first pull rod 4a. In its natural state, the first spring applies a pushing force to the first pull rod 4a, causing the first locking tooth 401a to extend into the latching hole 201. Specifically, the first spring and the first locking tooth 401a are located on the same side of the first pull rod 4a, with the first spring positioned close to the first movable positioning post 5a. The second anti-misalignment component includes a second pull rod 4b, a second movable positioning post 5b, and a second spring. The second pull rod 4b is installed in the second slide groove 202b and connected to the latching plate 2 via the second rotating shaft 6b. The second pull rod 4b is F-shaped, with the second rotating shaft 6b and the second movable positioning post 5b respectively positioned on the two arms of the second pull rod 4b. The second locking tooth 401b is located at the bottom of the second pull rod 4b, and the second movable positioning post 5b is positioned between the second locking tooth 401b and the second rotating shaft 6b. In its natural state, the second spring applies a pushing force to the second pull rod 4b, causing the second locking tooth 401b to extend into the latching hole 201. Specifically, the second spring and the second locking tooth 401b are located on opposite sides of the second pull rod 4b, with the second spring positioned between the second movable positioning post 5b and the second locking tooth 401b. In its natural state, under the action of the first spring, the first locking tooth 401a extends into the latching hole 201; under the action of the second spring, the second locking tooth 401b extends into the latching hole 201, as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown. In use, position the clamping plate 2 at the top of the glass 1, with all positioning posts located on the outside of the glass 1 and not in contact with it. Then, push the clamping plate 2 horizontally, bringing the positioning posts closer to the glass 1. When the first movable positioning post 5a abuts against the glass 1, the first pull rod 4a rotates around the first rotating shaft 6a under the pushing force of the first side 101 of the glass 1, and the first locking tooth 401a gradually disengages from the locking hole 201. When the second movable positioning post 5b abuts against the glass 1, the second pull rod 4b rotates around the second rotating shaft 6b under the pushing force of the second side 102 of the glass 1, and the second locking tooth 401b gradually disengages from the locking hole 201. When all the fixed positioning posts 3 and all the movable positioning posts 5 simultaneously abut against the glass 1, ensure that the lower surface of the clamping plate 2 is in contact with the upper surface 103 of the glass 1. The fixture is now positioned on the glass 1. At this point, the first locking tooth 401a and the second locking tooth 401b are completely disengaged from the locking hole 201. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 15 to 17 As shown. After the first locking tooth 401a and the second locking tooth 401b are fully disengaged, the worker can place the clip into the clip hole 201 and attach it to the glass 1. After removing the fixture, under the action of the first spring, the first pull rod 4a rotates around the first rotating shaft 6a, causing the first locking tooth 401a to reset and re-enter the clip hole 201; under the action of the second spring, the second pull rod 4b rotates around the second rotating shaft 6b, causing the second locking tooth 401b to reset and re-enter the clip hole 201. The fixture returns to its initial state.
