[0034] See attached Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a car sunroof taking out and turning system, comprising:

[0035] A take-out device 100, the take-out device 100 is used to fix one side of the sunroof member 500 and can move the sunroof member 500 in a vertical direction;

[0036] The flipping device 200 is used to receive the skylight member 500 of the taking-out device. The flipping device 200 is received at the other side of the skylight member 500 and flips the skylight member 500 around the horizontal axis so that the flipping device 200 is transferred and fixed to one side of the skylight member 500.

[0037] The transfer device 300 is used to receive and transfer the skylight component 500 of the flip module.

[0038] Based on the above technical features, the skylight component 500 is arranged on the storage rack, and the taking-out device 100 is arranged above the storage rack. The skylight component 500 is taken out from the storage rack by moving vertically close to one side of the fixed skylight component 500 and moving from the top. The taking-out device 100 is transferred to one side of the flipping device 200, and the flipping device 200 fixes the other side of the skylight component 500. At the same time, the taking-out device 100 releases one side of the skylight component 500, and the flipping device 200 flips the skylight component 500 around the horizontal direction, and fixes the skylight component 500 on the storage rack. At the same time, on the other side of the skylight component 500, one side of the skylight component 500 is loosened to realize the flipping of the skylight component 500 and the transfer and fixation of the other side. At this time, the transfer device 300 fixes one side of the skylight component 500, and the flipping device 200 loosens the skylight component 500 to realize the automatic transfer of the flipped skylight component 500 by the transfer device 300; through the cooperation of the taking-out device 100, the flipping device 200 and the transfer device 300, the entire process of automatic taking-out, flipping and transferring of the skylight component 500 is realized.

[0039] Furthermore, the taking-out device 100 includes a vertical moving mechanism 110 and a first suction cup mechanism 120, and the first suction cup mechanism 120 is transmission-connected to the vertical moving mechanism 110, and the vertical moving mechanism 110 can drive the first suction cup mechanism 120 to move in the vertical direction; the sunroof component 500 is adsorbed and fixed by the first suction cup member, and the first suction cup mechanism 120 is moved in the vertical direction by the vertical moving mechanism 110, thereby realizing the transfer activity of the first suction cup member in the vertical direction; wherein, the first suction cup mechanism 120 includes a first fixed frame and a plurality of first suction cups arranged on the first fixed frame, and the vertical moving mechanism 110 is a hoist, and the transmission connection to the first fixed frame is realized by the hoist, thereby driving the first suction cup to move closer to or away from the window component.

[0040] Furthermore, the flipping device 200 includes a second suction cup mechanism 210, a third suction cup mechanism 220 and a vertical rotation mechanism 230. The second suction cup mechanism 210 is transmission-connected to the vertical rotation mechanism 230. The vertical rotation mechanism 230 can drive the second suction cup mechanism 210 to rotate around a horizontal axis. The third suction cup mechanism 220 is arranged below the second suction cup mechanism 210. The third suction cup structure is used to receive the sunroof member 500 of the second suction cup mechanism 210. The second suction cup mechanism 210 and the third suction cup mechanism 220 can respectively realize relative adsorption on both sides of the vehicle window member. When the vehicle window member is rotated by the vertical rotation mechanism 230, the second suction cup mechanism 210 adsorbs the vehicle window member and rotates with the vertical rotation mechanism 230, thereby driving the vehicle window member to flip. When the vehicle window member 180 is flipped, the third suction cup member realizes adsorption on the bottom of the vehicle window member, and the second suction cup member stops adsorption at the same time, thereby realizing the flipping and fixing of the vehicle window member on the flipping device 200.

[0041] In this embodiment, the flipping device 200 also includes a support mechanism 250, which is arranged below the second suction cup mechanism 210. The support mechanism 250 includes a support member and a cylinder member. The cylinder member is arranged at an angle, and the pushing section of the cylinder member is fixedly connected to the support member. The cylinder member can push the support member toward or away from the second suction cup mechanism 210; further, the support member is hinged to the cylinder member, and one end of the support member is connected to the third suction cup member. When the cylinder member pushes the support member, the support member can gradually be vertically arranged to support the second suction cup mechanism 210. When the second suction cup mechanism 210 is fixed with a window member and needs to stay without flipping, the cylinder member can work to push the support member to be vertically arranged to support the bottom of the second suction cup mechanism 210.

[0042] Furthermore, the flipping device 200 also includes a pushing mechanism 260, which is transmission-connected to the vertical rotation mechanism 230. The pushing mechanism 260 can make the vertical rotation mechanism 230 approach or move away from the third suction cup mechanism 220 in the horizontal direction, so that after the flipped skylight part 500 is adsorbed on the third suction cup mechanism 220, it moves and pushes out the second suction cup mechanism 210 to avoid interference with the third suction cup mechanism 220; the pushing mechanism 260 can be a slide rail structure to realize the horizontal movement of the vertical rotation mechanism 230.

[0043] Specifically, the vertical rotation mechanism 230 includes a gear condition, a gear part and a sliding drive part. The gear condition is horizontally arranged, the gear part is vertically arranged and can rotate horizontally around its axial direction, the peripheral side of the gear part is meshingly connected with the gear condition, and the sliding drive part is transmission connected to the gear condition, which can drive the gear condition to move along its axial direction. The gear condition is horizontally moved to realize the rotational drive of the gear part. The second suction cup part is fixed on the gear part. When the gear condition moves horizontally, it drives the gear part to rotate relative to the gear condition. At the same time, the gear part drives the second suction cup part to flip, thereby realizing the flipping action of the skylight part 500.

[0044] Furthermore, the removal device 100 also includes an anti-drop mechanism 130, which is arranged on the surrounding side of the first suction cup mechanism 120; when the first suction cup mechanism 120 adsorbs the skylight component 500, the anti-drop mechanism 130 can be supported on the bottom of the skylight component 500, which can prevent the first suction cup mechanism 120 from malfunctioning and failing to adsorb the skylight component 500, and the skylight component 500 from falling directly.

[0045] Among them, the taking-out device 100 includes a horizontal rotation mechanism 140, one side of the horizontal rotation mechanism 140 is connected to the vertical moving mechanism 110, and the other side of the horizontal rotation mechanism 140 is connected to the first suction cup mechanism 120. The vertical moving mechanism 110 can drive the rotation mechanism to move in the vertical direction, and the horizontal rotation mechanism 140 can drive the first suction cup mechanism 120 to rotate in the horizontal direction; through the rotation of the horizontal rotation mechanism 140, the horizontal rotation of the first suction cup component and the horizontal direction is realized, and the skylight components 500 of different sizes or different horizontal angles can be adjusted, sucked and fixed, thereby improving the adaptability of the taking-out device 100 to different skylight components 500.

[0046] Specifically, the horizontal rotation mechanism 140 includes a steering wheel, a meshing rack and a steering drive. The peripheral side of the steering wheel is provided with meshing teeth meshing with the meshing rack. The steering wheel is horizontally arranged and a first suction cup mechanism 120 is fixed at the bottom. The meshing rack is horizontally arranged, and the peripheral side of the steering wheel is meshingly connected to the meshing rack. The steering drive is transmission-connected to the meshing rack. The steering drive is used to drive the meshing rack to move along its axial direction. When the meshing rack moves along the axial direction, it drives the turntable meshing transmission to realize horizontal rotation of the steering wheel. The vertical moving mechanism 110 is connected to the steering wheel through a connecting bearing, so that the vertical moving mechanism 110 can vertically drive the horizontal rotation mechanism 140 to move from the bottom while the steering wheel rotates.

[0047] Furthermore, the taking-out device 100 further includes an anti-falling mechanism 150, which includes a roller member 151, a chain condition 152 and a fastener 153, wherein the fastener 153 is fixed to the first suction cup mechanism 120, the roller member 151 is fixed to, one end of the chain condition 152 is fixedly connected to the fastener 153, and the chain condition 152 is wound and fastened from one end of the roller member 151; the roller member 151 can rotate to control the length distance between the chain condition 152 and the fastener 153, one side of the roller member 151 is fixed to the frame of the vertical moving mechanism 110, and the fastener 153 is fixed to the first suction cup mechanism 120. On a suction cup component, a fixed connection between the roller component 151 and the fastener 153 is achieved through a chain condition 152. When the vertical moving mechanism 110 moves the first suction cup component up and down, the chain condition 152 is extended and retracted through the rotation of the roller component 151 to follow the movement of the first suction cup component; wherein the anti-fall mechanism 150 is provided with a sensor. When it is detected that the descending speed of the first suction cup component reaches a falling speed of 1g, the roller component 151 of the anti-fall mechanism 150 is automatically locked, and the chain condition 152 distance between the roller component 151 and the fastener 153 is fixed to prevent the device from continuing to fall, thereby achieving an anti-fall effect.

[0048] Furthermore, the flipping device 200 also includes a lifting mechanism 240, which is transmission-connected to the vertical rotating mechanism 230. The lifting mechanism 240 is used to drive the vertical rotating mechanism 230 to move in the vertical direction to avoid interference with the third suction cup mechanism 220 when the window part is flipped. The lifting mechanism 240 of this embodiment is a vertically movable gas rod, which realizes the overall vertical drive of the vertical rotating mechanism 230.

[0049] The anti-drop mechanism 130 includes a rotating cylinder 131 and a receiving arm 132. The receiving arm 132 is L-shaped, and the other end of the receiving arm 132 is used to receive the vehicle window component.

The specific connection realizes the working principle. When the skylight member 500 is grasped and raised to a position, the rotating gas rod rotates to drive the receiving arm 132 to automatically rotate to the bottom of the skylight member 500 to receive the skylight that falls due to sudden loss of suction.

[0051] In this embodiment, it also includes a moving component for driving the anti-drop mechanism 130. The anti-drop mechanism 130 is arranged on the four sides of the first suction cup mechanism 120. The moving components are respectively connected to the anti-drop mechanism 130 for driving the anti-drop mechanisms 130 on the opposite sides to move closer to or away from each other, thereby achieving adaptation to different sizes of skylight parts 500 and meeting different specifications.
