[0079] An assembly detection device for a folding roof of a convertible car, the folding roof comprising a convertible mechanism 100 and a tarpaulin 200 arranged above the convertible mechanism 100, the assembly detection device comprising:

[0080] A movable support platform 1 comprising a support plate 11;

[0081] An anti-wrinkling component 2 connected at one end to a lower end of the tarpaulin 200 and fixedly connected at another end to the support plate 11;

[0082] An assembly detection mechanism 3 comprising a mounting portion 31, an assembly component 32, and a detection component 33, one end of the mounting portion 31 being slidably connected to the support plate 11, the detection component 33 being detachably connected to the mounting portion 31, the assembly component 32 being arranged between the mounting portion 31 and the detection component 33, one end of the assembly component 32 being connected to the mounting portion 31 and the other end being connected to the convertible mechanism 100.

[0083] The movable support platform 1 comprises the support plate 11 and universal wheels and support columns arranged below the support plate 11, facilitating movement and fixation of the entire device.

[0084] The special elasticity and softness of the tarpaulin itself, the dynamic and static linkage reliability in the front and rear stretching and contraction movement of the open-top mechanism, and the stretching property in various curved stretching and contraction processes ensure that the installation accuracy of all points of the tarpaulin in the working state is within ±1.5 mm, and a standard open-top mechanism that is assembled and detected to be qualified is required. The assembly problem of the tarpaulin 200 is solved by the following two methods:

[0085] Firstly, the anti-wrinkling part 2 is installed on the movable support table 1, the anti-wrinkling part 2 can simulate the actual assembly environment of the tarpaulin 200 connected with the vehicle body, and solve the problem that the tarpaulin 200 is prone to wrinkling due to uneven stress and incomplete point position consistency;

[0086] Secondly, the assembly and detection mechanism 3 is assembled, the installation part 31 in the assembly and detection mechanism 3 can move the assembly part 32 and the detection part 33 to the preset position according to the characteristics of the vehicle, then the open-top mechanism 100 is fixed on the assembly part 32, finally the detection part 33 is used to test whether the open-top mechanism 100 meets the requirements, such as whether the installation accuracy of the tensioning bow 101 on the open-top mechanism 100 in X, Y and Z three directions meets the requirements, especially the dimensional accuracy of the open-top mechanism 100 in the working state. If it does not meet the requirements, the tensioning bow 101 can be debugged until it meets the requirements; after assembly, debugging and detection, the detection part 33 is rotated to other positions or removed, so as to avoid the influence of the detection part 33 on the installation of the tarpaulin 200; the installation part 31 can drive the entire assembly and detection mechanism 3 to move outward. It should be noted that the working state in the present application refers to the state of the open-top mechanism 100 when the tarpaulin 200 is completely opened. The present application can integrate the assembly and detection of the open-top mechanism 100, reduce the problems such as wrinkling of the tarpaulin 200 caused by the assembly accuracy of the open-top mechanism 100, improve the assembly dimensional accuracy of the tarpaulin 200, and improve the assembly appearance of the tarpaulin 200.

[0087] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the assembly and detection mechanism 3 is two, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the open-top mechanism 100, and the open-top mechanism 100 includes a plurality of tensioning bows 101;

In addition, the arc groove 3311 can also be used to limit the assembly position of the tension bow 101 in the X, Y and Z directions, improve the assembly accuracy of the tension bow 101, and eliminate the cumulative error of the convertible mechanism 100 and the tarpaulin 200 in the prior art, so that the assembly dimensional accuracy of the tension bow 101 in the X direction is kept at ±1mm, and the assembly dimensional accuracy of the tension bow 101 is brought to the middle position of the cumulative tolerance zone as much as possible, so as to improve the matching degree of the tarpaulin 200 and the tension bow 101, avoid the tarpaulin 200 from accumulating and wrinkling at the lower end of the convertible mechanism 100, solve the problem that 82% of the tarpaulin 200 in the assembly area was wrinkled and unqualified in the early stage of convertible car mass production, and increase the assembly qualification rate of the tarpaulin 200 to 100%.

[0134] The folding roof assembly detection method of a convertible according to an example embodiment includes:

[0135] After the mounting part 31 and the assembling part 32 are moved to the preset position, the convertible mechanism 100 is connected to the assembling part 32;

[0136] The detecting part 33 is installed to the mounting seat 311, and whether the convertible mechanism 100 meets the process requirement is detected;

[0137] If the convertible mechanism 100 does not meet the process requirement, the convertible mechanism 100 is debugged; if the convertible mechanism 100 meets the process requirement, the detecting part 33 is removed;

[0138] The tarpaulin 200 is first covered above the convertible mechanism 100, and then the tarpaulin 200 is connected to the anti-wrinkle part 2 and the convertible mechanism 100 in sequence;

[0139] After the tarpaulin 200 and the convertible mechanism 100 are assembled, the tarpaulin 200 is detected;

[0140] If not, the tarpaulin 200 is adjusted; if the assembly of the tarpaulin 200 meets the requirement, the tarpaulin 200 is connected to the vehicle body.

In particular, the two tension bows 101 near the tailgate structure are set to be adjustable in the front and back. This can reduce the cumulative error caused by the accumulation of tolerances. The assembly dimensional accuracy of the tension bow 101 in the X direction is kept at ±1mm. The assembly dimensional accuracy of the tension bow 101 is made to reach the middle position of the cumulative tolerance zone as much as possible. This improves the matching degree between the tarpaulin 200 and the tension bow 101, avoids the tarpaulin 200 from accumulating and wrinkling at the lower end of the convertible mechanism 100, solves the problem of 82% wrinkling failure of the tarpaulin 200 in the assembly area in the early stage of convertible car mass production, and increases the assembly qualification rate of the tarpaulin 200 to 100%.

[0148] A 1.4mm fine-tuning allowance is reserved for the tarpaulin 200 and the headboard 102 to establish a dimensional accuracy control standard for the assembly of the tarpaulin 200, so as to avoid the tarpaulin 200 being too large or too small, which would affect the installation effect.

[0149] In this embodiment, a standardized process for assembling the tarpaulin 200, the convertible mechanism 100, and the vehicle body was established, thereby ensuring that the assembly qualification rate of the tarpaulin 200 and the convertible mechanism 100 reached 100%.
