Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass processing technology, and in particular to a method for assembling a glass assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, glass assemblies, such as automotive door glass assemblies, require the bonding of various adhesive components during manufacturing. These components include door glass brackets and guide rails. Traditional bonding methods typically involve manual labor or using simple tooling with adhesives to attach these components to the door glass. This method suffers from poor stability and inconsistent installation accuracy. Furthermore, it is difficult to ensure that the datum references for individual parts and / or the assembly references in simple tooling are consistent with the fixture references, significantly reducing the output of high-quality products. Both manual and simple tooling methods are difficult to automate and achieve mass production, resulting in low efficiency, long production cycles, high labor costs, and consequently high product costs, making it difficult to gain a competitive edge in the market. In other words, the existing assembly method of bonding components to door glass manually or using simple tooling with adhesives has the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1) During the manufacturing process, there are tolerances for individual parts, and it is difficult to eliminate the cumulative tolerances of the assembly, which can easily lead to dimensional defects in the glass assembly products;

[0004] 2) The glass assembly product has a complex structure, and the yield of manually bonded products is low. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a glass assembly method that can eliminate the cumulative tolerance of the assembly, achieve high product yield and low production cost, in order to address the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] This invention provides a method for assembling a glass assembly, the glass assembly including glass and a guide rail, one side of the guide rail being fixed to the glass, and the guide rail and the glass being fixedly connected by adhesive. The assembly method includes the following steps:

[0011] Furthermore, the glass positioning device is disposed on the worktable of the machine frame. The glass positioning device includes a glass support column, a limiting column, a glass clamping mechanism, and a glass pressing mechanism. The limiting column and the glass clamping mechanism are arranged corresponding to the side edges of the glass to perform X-axis and Y-axis reference positioning of the glass, wherein:

[0015] Furthermore, the glass positioning device also includes a glass adsorption mechanism, which includes multiple suction cups located inside the area enclosed by the glass clamping mechanism and the limiting post. The suction cups are close to the support post and are used to adsorb the bottom surface of the glass.

[0016] Furthermore, the glass clamping mechanism includes a first driving member and a glass clamping column.

[0018] Furthermore, the glass clamping mechanism includes a glass clamping component, a second driving component, and a support component. The support component is vertically disposed on the worktable surface. The second driving component is fixedly installed on the worktable surface and is used to drive the glass clamping component to rotate. The glass clamping component is connected to the movable end of the second driving component and is disposed opposite to the top of the support component.

[0019] Furthermore, the guide rail includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the glass along the X-axis direction.

[0020] Furthermore, the guide rail positioning device includes a first guide rail positioning device and a second guide rail positioning device, wherein the first guide rail positioning device is used to position the first guide rail with adhesive, and the second guide rail positioning device is used to position the second guide rail with adhesive.

The first lifting mechanism includes a first lifting cylinder, which is fixedly installed on the worktable. The first positioning seat is used to position the first guide rail with adhesive and is connected to the movable end of the first lifting cylinder. The first lifting cylinder is used to drive the first positioning seat to move along the Z-axis.

[0023] Furthermore, the first guide rail positioning device also includes a second guide mechanism, which includes a second slide rail fixedly disposed on the worktable and extending along the Z-axis direction and a second slider slidably connected to the second slide rail, and the first positioning seat is disposed on the second slider.

[0024] Furthermore, the second guide rail positioning device includes a second lifting mechanism and a second positioning seat. The second lifting mechanism includes a second lifting cylinder, which is fixedly installed on the worktable. The second positioning seat is used to position the second guide rail with adhesive and is connected to the movable end of the second lifting cylinder. The second lifting cylinder is used to drive the second positioning seat to move along the Z-axis.

[0025] Furthermore, the second guide rail positioning device also includes a third guide mechanism, which includes a third slide rail fixedly disposed on the worktable and extending along the Z-axis direction and a third slider slidably connected to the third slide rail, and the second positioning seat is disposed on the third slider.

[0026] Furthermore, the first limiting mechanism includes a third lifting mechanism and a first limiting member. The third lifting mechanism includes a third lifting cylinder, which is fixedly installed on the worktable. The first limiting member is connected to the movable end of the third lifting cylinder. The third lifting cylinder drives the first limiting member to be located at the Z-axis reference. The first lifting cylinder drives the first positioning seat to move along the Z-axis direction to the first limiting member. The first positioning seat cooperates with the first limiting member to perform Z-axis reference positioning of the first guide rail with adhesive and to cure the adhesive to form a tolerance correction layer.

[0027] Furthermore, the second limiting mechanism includes a middle limiting component and an end limiting component;

[0028] The central limiting component includes a fourth lifting cylinder and a second limiting member.

[0029] The end limiting assembly includes a fifth lifting cylinder and a third limiting member. The fifth lifting cylinder is fixedly installed on the worktable, and the third limiting member is connected to the movable end of the fifth lifting cylinder. The fifth lifting cylinder drives the third limiting member to be located at the Z-axis reference.

[0030] The second lifting cylinder drives the second positioning seat to move along the Z-axis to the second and third limiting members. The second positioning seat cooperates with the second and third limiting members to perform Z-axis reference positioning of the second guide rail with adhesive, and to cure the adhesive to form a tolerance correction layer.

[0031] The present invention, by adopting the above-described technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] In this invention, the glass assembly includes glass and a guide rail. One side of the guide rail is used to fix it to the glass. The guide rail and the glass are fixedly connected by adhesive. The assembly method includes the following steps: S10: Apply adhesive to the side of the guide rail facing the glass, and position the guide rail with adhesive on a movable guide rail positioning device; S20: Position the glass on the glass positioning device to perform X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis reference positioning of the glass; S30: Move the limiting mechanism along the Z-axis direction to the Z-axis reference position of the guide rail in the glass assembly; S40: Move the guide rail positioning device along the Z-axis direction to the limiting mechanism to perform Z-axis reference positioning of the guide rail, and allow the adhesive to cure to form a tolerance correction layer. In other words, this application first moves the limiting mechanism along the Z-axis to the Z-axis reference of the guide rail in the glass assembly. After the guide rail positioning device moves to the limiting mechanism in the Z-axis direction, a gap is left between the side of the guide rail facing the glass and the bottom surface of the glass. At this time, the adhesive on the side of the guide rail facing the glass can contact the bottom surface of the glass, and the adhesive cures to form a tolerance correction layer. In this way, the guide rail can not only be fixed to the glass under the action of the adhesive, but also the tolerance between the guide rail and the glass can be corrected. This application uses adhesive on the side of the guide rail facing the glass to not only eliminate the tolerance of the guide rail parts, but also overcome manufacturing process errors, thereby preventing the accumulation of assembly tolerances. In addition, this application uses a limiting mechanism that can be kept consistent with the Z-axis reference of the guide rail in the glass assembly. The guide rail and the glass are separated by adhesive to eliminate glass contour matching errors, thereby ensuring the pass rate of the glass assembly product. Attached Figure Description

[0050] The invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention discloses a method for assembling a glass assembly, the glass assembly including a glass 10 and a guide rail, one side of the guide rail being fixed to the glass 10, the guide rail and the glass 10 being fixedly connected by adhesive, the assembly method including the following steps:

[0052] S10: Apply adhesive to the side of the guide rail facing the glass 10, and position the guide rail with adhesive on the movable guide rail positioning device.

[0053] S20: Position the glass 10 on the glass positioning device 20 to perform X-axis reference positioning and Y-axis reference positioning of the glass 10;

[0054] S30: Move the limiting mechanism along the Z-axis to the Z-axis reference point of the guide rail in the glass assembly;

[0055] S40: Move the guide rail positioning device along the Z-axis to the limiting mechanism to perform Z-axis reference positioning of the guide rail with adhesive, and allow the adhesive to cure to form a tolerance correction layer.

[0056] In this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the glass positioning device 20 is mounted on the worktable 11 of the frame 1. The glass positioning device 20 includes a glass support column 21, a limiting column 22, a glass clamping mechanism 23, and a glass pressing mechanism 24. The limiting column 22 and the glass clamping mechanism 23 are arranged corresponding to the side edges of the glass 10 to perform X-axis and Y-axis reference positioning of the glass 10.

[0057] Along the X-axis reference direction and the Y-axis reference direction, the limiting post 22 is fixedly installed on the worktable surface 11 to position at least one side of the glass 10, and the glass clamping mechanism 23 can move toward the limiting post 22 to clamp and position the other sides of the glass 10.

[0058] The glass support column 21 is located inside the area enclosed by the glass clamping mechanism 23 and the limiting column 22, and the top surface of the glass support column 21 abuts against the bottom surface of the glass 10.

[0059] The glass pressing mechanism 24 is disposed on the worktable 11 near the limiting post 22 and / or the glass clamping mechanism 23, and is used to press the top and bottom surfaces of the glass 10 to perform Z-axis reference positioning of the glass 10.

[0060] It should be noted that in the glass assembly data model established during the design phase, both the glass 10 and the guide rail are in their theoretical positions. At this point, the fit between the glass 10 and the guide rail is highly accurate and stable. The positioning position of the glass 10 is the theoretical position of the glass 10 in the glass assembly data model. Based on the theoretical position data of the glass 10 in the glass assembly data model, the positions of the glass support column 21, the limiting column 22, the glass clamping mechanism 23, and the glass pressing mechanism 24 are designed in the glass positioning device 20 to define the positioning position of the glass 10. In this way, after the glass 10 is positioned using the glass positioning device 20, the glass 10 can achieve its theoretical position on the glass positioning device.

[0061] In this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the glass positioning device 20 also includes a glass adsorption mechanism, which includes multiple suction cups 25 located inside the area enclosed by the glass clamping mechanism 23 and the limiting post 22. The suction cups 25 are used to adsorb the bottom surface of the glass 10. Specifically, the glass 10 is first placed close to the limiting post 22 on the glass support post 21. Then, the glass clamping mechanism 23 is moved, and the glass clamping mechanism 23 cooperates with the limiting post 22 to clamp the glass 10 and perform X-axis and Y-axis reference positioning of the glass 10. Then, the glass pressing mechanism 24 and the glass adsorption mechanism are activated simultaneously. The glass adsorption mechanism picks up the bottom surface of the glass 10, and the glass pressing mechanism 24 presses and fixes the top and bottom surfaces of the glass 10 to perform Z-axis reference positioning of the glass 10.

[0062] In this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the glass clamping mechanism 23 includes a first driving member 232 and a glass clamping column 231. The first driving member 232 is fixedly installed on the worktable 11, and the glass clamping column 231 is connected to the movable end of the first driving member 232, and the glass clamping column 231 abuts against the side of the glass 10. This arrangement effectively ensures the accuracy and stability of the movement of the glass clamping column 231.

[0063] In this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the glass clamping mechanism 23 further includes a first guide mechanism 233. The first guide mechanism 233 includes a first slide rail 2331 fixedly mounted on the worktable 11 and extending in the direction towards the limiting post 22, and a first slider 2332 slidably connected to the first slide rail 2331. The glass clamping post 231 is disposed on the first slider 2332. This arrangement can better ensure the movement accuracy of the glass clamping post 231 and optimize the structure.

[0064] In this embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the glass clamping mechanism 24 includes a glass clamping member 241, a second driving member 242, and a support member 243. The support member 243 is vertically disposed on the worktable 11. The second driving member 242 is fixedly mounted on the worktable 11 and is used to drive the glass clamping member 241 to rotate. The glass clamping member 241 is connected to the movable end of the second driving member 242 and is disposed opposite to the top of the support member 243. This arrangement can better ensure the movement accuracy and stability of the glass clamping member 241.

[0065] In this embodiment, the worktable 11 is inclined. When the glass 10 is placed on the inclined worktable 11, it will rely on its own gravity for positioning, improving positioning accuracy, reducing space occupation, and avoiding motion interference. In addition, the inclined worktable 11 is aligned with the loading angle direction to ensure consistent loading effect.

[0066] In this embodiment, the guide rail includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the glass 10 along the X-axis direction. Figures 4-8 As shown, the guide rail positioning device includes a first guide rail positioning device 31 and a second guide rail positioning device 32. The first guide rail positioning device 31 is used to position the first guide rail, and the second guide rail positioning device 32 is used to position the second guide rail. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first guide rail positioning device 31 includes a first lifting mechanism and a first positioning seat 311. The first lifting mechanism includes a first lifting cylinder 312, which is fixedly mounted on the worktable 11. The first positioning seat 311 is used to position the first guide rail with adhesive and is connected to the movable end of the first lifting cylinder 312. The first lifting cylinder 312 is used to drive the first positioning seat 311 to move along the Z-axis. The first lifting cylinder 312 is used to move the first positioning seat 311 in the Z-axis direction, providing clearance space for the glass 10 before it is positioned, avoiding motion interference. At the same time, after the glass 10 is positioned and fixed, the first guide rail with adhesive can be sent to the Z-axis reference for positioning and installation.

[0067] In this embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the guide rail positioning device further includes a second guide mechanism 33. The second guide mechanism 33 includes a second slide rail 332 fixedly mounted on the worktable 11 and extending along the Z-axis direction, and a second slider 331 slidably connected to the second slide rail 332. The first positioning seat 311 is disposed on the second slider 331. The arrangement of the second guide mechanism 33 can better ensure the movement accuracy of the first positioning seat 311, optimize the structure, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0068] In this embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the second guide rail positioning device 32 includes a second lifting mechanism and a second positioning seat 321. The second lifting mechanism includes a second lifting cylinder 322, which is fixedly mounted on the worktable 11. The second positioning seat 321 is used to position the second guide rail with adhesive and is connected to the movable end of the second lifting cylinder 322. The second lifting cylinder 322 is used to drive the second positioning seat 321 to move along the Z-axis. The second lifting cylinder 322 is used to drive the second positioning seat 311 to move in the Z-axis direction, providing clearance space for the glass 10 before it is positioned, avoiding motion interference. Simultaneously, after the glass 10 is positioned and fixed, the second guide rail with adhesive can be sent to the Z-axis reference for positioning and installation.

[0069] In this embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the guide rail positioning device further includes a third guiding mechanism 34. The third guiding mechanism 34 includes a third slide rail 342 fixedly mounted on the worktable 11 and extending along the Z-axis, and a third slider 341 slidably connected to the third slide rail 342. The second positioning seat 321 is mounted on the third slider 341. The third guiding mechanism 34 can better ensure the movement accuracy of the second positioning seat 321, optimize the structure, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0070] In this embodiment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the limiting mechanism includes a first limiting mechanism 41 and a second limiting mechanism 42. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first limiting mechanism 41 includes a third lifting mechanism and a first limiting member 411. The third lifting mechanism includes a third lifting cylinder 412, which is fixedly installed on the worktable 11. The first limiting member 411 is connected to the movable end of the third lifting cylinder 412. The third lifting cylinder 412 drives the first limiting member 411 to be positioned at the Z-axis reference of the guide rail in the glass assembly. The first positioning seat 311 cooperates with the first limiting member 411 to perform Z-axis reference positioning of the first guide rail with adhesive, and to cure the adhesive to form a tolerance correction layer. That is, the first limiting member 411 can move along the Z-axis direction to the theoretical state position of the first guide rail in the glass assembly data model.

[0071] In this embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the second limiting mechanism 42 includes a middle limiting component 421 and an end limiting component 422. The middle limiting component 421 includes a fourth lifting cylinder 4212 and a second limiting member 4211. The fourth lifting cylinder 4212 is fixedly installed on the worktable 11. The second limiting member 4211 is connected to the movable end of the fourth lifting cylinder 4212. The fourth lifting cylinder 4212 drives the second limiting member 4211 to be located at the Z-axis reference of the guide rail in the glass assembly. The end limiting component 422 includes a fifth lifting cylinder. The fifth lifting cylinder 4222 is fixedly mounted on the worktable 11, and the third limiting member 4221 is connected to the movable end of the fifth lifting cylinder 4222. The fifth lifting cylinder 4222 drives the third limiting member 4221 to be positioned at the Z-axis reference of the guide rail in the glass assembly. The second positioning seat 321 cooperates with the second limiting member 4211 and the third limiting member 4221 to perform Z-axis reference positioning of the second guide rail with adhesive, and to cure the adhesive to form a tolerance correction layer. That is, the second limiting member 4211 and the third limiting member 4221 can move along the Z-axis to the theoretical state position of the second guide rail in the glass assembly data model.

[0072] In this invention, the limiting mechanism is moved along the Z-axis to the Z-axis reference of the guide rail in the glass assembly. After the guide rail positioning device moves to the limiting mechanism in the Z-axis direction, a gap is left between the side of the guide rail facing the glass 10 and the bottom surface of the glass 10. At this time, the adhesive on the side of the guide rail facing the glass 10 can contact the bottom surface of the glass 10, and the adhesive cures to form a tolerance correction layer. In this way, the guide rail can not only be fixed to the glass 10 under the action of the adhesive, but also the tolerance between the guide rail and the glass 10 can be corrected. That is to say, the use of adhesive on the side of the guide rail facing the glass 10 in this application can not only eliminate the tolerance of the guide rail parts, but also overcome the manufacturing process error, thereby preventing the accumulation of assembly tolerances; in addition, the limiting mechanism used in this application can be kept consistent with the Z-axis reference of the guide rail in the glass assembly, and the guide rail and the glass 10 are separated by adhesive to eliminate the glass contour matching error, thereby ensuring the pass rate of the glass assembly product.
