Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle equipment technology, and more specifically, to a vehicle roof assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The vehicle roof liner is installed inside the vehicle's roof, specifically on the interior ceiling, to insulate the interior and thus block and absorb noise. Additionally, a roof console is installed within the roof, housing convenient components such as housings for sunglasses, lights, and switch boxes. However, such roof consoles are designed differently depending on the vehicle model, and therefore, the convenient components are designed differently for each model, leading to increased production costs, as well as increased research and development costs and production time.

[0003] Meanwhile, the processing of the headliner after molding typically includes the following steps: first, surface adhesive layer forming of the injection-molded blank, usually achieved through methods such as spraying adhesive; second, edge banding of the blank using edge banding machines to achieve good finished product protection; and finally, assembly of surface fasteners to meet the actual working and installation requirements of the headliner. These headliner blank processing steps are basically achieved through automated production lines. However, the inventors have discovered some problems in currently common headliner processing production lines, specifically: current headliner blank processing equipment often uses inefficient manual transfer between processes, or employs robotic arms or cranes, but designs commonly used for transfer often suffer from poor positional accuracy after transfer, requiring manual correction. Furthermore, the surface of the semi-molded blank is easily damaged during transfer, resulting in low yield or the need for repeated finishing.

[0004] In summary, existing vehicle roof assembly equipment suffers from technical problems such as low efficiency in the forming process and easy damage to the surface structure of the workpiece. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that existing vehicle roof assembly equipment has low forming process efficiency and is prone to damaging the surface structure of the workpiece.

[0006] To address the above problems, the present invention provides a vehicle roof assembly device, comprising:

[0007] The glue spraying station assembly includes a glue spraying mold core for positioning and placing the ceiling blank to assist in glue spraying, and a glue machine located at a preset height above the glue spraying mold core for receiving glue liquid and performing the glue spraying process.

[0008] The edge-sealing station component includes an edge-sealing actuator and a lifting mechanism that assists in performing the edge-sealing action;

[0009] The snap-fit ​​assembly station assembly includes an assembly robot arm for performing assembly operations, an assembly mold core for positioning and placing the ceiling blank to assist in the assembly operations, and a vibratory feeder mechanism to assist in conveying the snap-fit ​​into place.

[0010] The transplanting assembly includes a base frame, a drive mechanism, and two support mechanisms. The support mechanisms are located at different positions on the base frame. The base frame supports the translation of the two support mechanisms, which is used to detach the canopy blank from the glue spraying mold core and transfer it to the edge-sealing station assembly, or detach it from the edge-sealing station assembly and transfer it to the snap-fit ​​assembly station assembly.

[0011] The support assembly includes a horizontal support beam located above the glue spraying station assembly, the edging station assembly, and the buckle assembly station assembly, for suspending and fixing the glue machine and the lifting mechanism. The outer edge of the horizontal support beam is connected to a longitudinal beam group for lifting the horizontal support beam off the ground at a preset height.

[0012] The vehicle roof assembly equipment provided by this invention adopts a roof component positioning and transfer structure different from existing designs to improve inter-process transfer efficiency and ensure the integrity of the workpiece surface. Similar to existing roof processing equipment, it includes three main processing stations: a glue spraying station assembly, an edge-wrapping station assembly, and a snap-fit ​​assembly station assembly. A transfer assembly is set between the three stations for transferring the roof component. Its structure mainly includes a base frame, a drive mechanism, and two support mechanisms. The support mechanisms can translate within the range between the three stations, thereby transferring the roof component they support between the three stations. A bracket assembly is set outside the three station assemblies to provide installation positions and external structural support, and can install a lifting mechanism and a glue machine. By using the transfer assembly employed in this invention to stably transfer the workpiece blank between stations through translation, damage to the workpiece surface during the transfer process is effectively avoided, effectively solving the technical problems of low forming process efficiency and easy damage to the workpiece surface structure in existing vehicle roof assembly equipment.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the support assembly is detachably connected to a stair mechanism on one side. One end of the stair mechanism is connected to the crossbeam, and the other end is connected to the ground, facilitating the installation and maintenance of the components on the crossbeam. This design optimizes the installation and maintenance characteristics of the various assembly tools mounted on the support assembly. Since there is a certain height between the crossbeam and the ground, a stair structure is provided on one side to facilitate the assembly and maintenance of the tools connected to it, allowing operators to easily access the equipment.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the adhesive spraying station assembly further includes a station enclosure mechanism. This mechanism comprises a movable roller shutter door located between the longitudinal beams surrounding the adhesive spraying station, used to enclose the station and prevent contamination during the adhesive spraying process. This design optimizes the structural design of the adhesive spraying station assembly, adapts to the process characteristics of the adhesive spraying station, and allows for the installation of movable roller shutter doors between the surrounding longitudinal beams. During adhesive spraying, the roller shutter doors can be closed to prevent material leakage and air pollution. The opening and closing operation of the roller shutter doors can be synchronized with the spraying action of the adhesive machine, or it can be manually operated from outside the station assembly.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the glue spraying station assembly further includes a hanging and loading mechanism for conveying the ceiling blank to the glue spraying mold core. The hanging and loading mechanism includes a slide rail fixed to the crossbeam frame, and an automatic winch is connected within the slide rail. This design optimizes the equipment's loading design. The automatic winch, in conjunction with the slide rail, allows for convenient and rapid input of the ceiling blank from outside the glue spraying station assembly to the first process, the glue spraying process, and transfers the workpiece blank to the glue spraying mold core. The shape and structure of the glue spraying mold core automatically positions the ceiling workpiece's posture and location, ensuring that the workpiece blank accurately reaches the next station in a preset posture during subsequent station transfers.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the snap-fit ​​assembly station component has an assembly platform below the assembly mold core for placing and fixing the assembly mold core. The assembly platform has multiple sets of automatically controllable positioning fasteners on its outer periphery for positioning the ceiling blank to be assembled at a preset position on the upper surface of the assembly mold core. This design optimizes the structural design of the snap-fit ​​assembly station component. The assembly platform, on which the assembly mold core is placed, can stably support the workpiece blank, and the positioning fasteners further assist in stabilizing the position and orientation of the workpiece blank placed on it.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the vibratory feeder mechanism includes a vibratory parts box with a spiral output port. A parts transmission groove is connected to the spiral output port, and a positive positioning output platform structure is provided at the port of the parts transmission groove. This structure is used to arrange the parts output from the parts transmission groove in a preset posture for the assembly robot arm to pick up and assemble. This design further optimizes the conveying of the buckles to be installed. The main structure of the vibratory feeder is a vibratory parts box, which is spiral-shaped with an output port on one side. This main structure allows the buckles to be assembled inside to be output from its output port during vibration. The output is connected to the parts transmission groove, and in conjunction with the picking action of the robot arm, the positive positioning output platform structure ensures that the buckle parts output through the parts transmission groove are easily grasped and assembled by the robot arm, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the buckles.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, a feeding hopper for feeding parts into the vibrating parts box is provided at a predetermined distance above the central area of ​​the vibrating parts box; a photoelectric detection mechanism is provided on one side of the vibrating parts box to detect the stacking height of the parts contained in the vibrating parts box. This design further optimizes the material storage and replenishment design of the vibrating parts box. By using a photoelectric detection mechanism, such as an infrared rangefinder, to detect the storage depth of the parts in the parts box, when it is confirmed that the storage amount is insufficient, the feeding hopper suspended above replenishes the parts to be assembled into the parts box.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the base frame includes parallel guide rails, and the support mechanisms are all slidably engaged with the guide rails. The drive mechanism includes a vertical feed mechanism and a horizontal feed mechanism. The vertical feed mechanism drives the lifting and lowering of the support mechanisms, and the horizontal feed mechanism drives the two support mechanisms to slide and adjust their positions on the guide rails. This design optimizes the structural design of the transplanting assembly. The base frame includes guide rails, and through the sliding limit of the guide rails, driven by the feed action output by the drive structure, the support mechanisms can accurately and smoothly transfer the roof blank between three workstations.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the support mechanism includes a pair of vertical telescopic rods and a horizontal rod connected to the top of the vertical telescopic rods. A cross-shaped diagonal brace is provided between the horizontal rod and the guide rail. Each end of the cross-shaped diagonal brace is provided with a sliding pair. The bottom of the cross-shaped diagonal brace is connected to the vertical feed mechanism. The horizontal feed output by the vertical feed mechanism changes the overlapping angle of the cross-shaped diagonal brace to adjust the height position of the horizontal rod.

[0021] This design further optimizes the support mechanism. The main body includes a horizontal bar and a cross brace. The cross brace consists of two bars that cross in an X shape and are rotatably connected in the middle. Therefore, a sliding pair is set at the end of the cross brace. The horizontal feed is output by the vertical feed mechanism to drive the rotation of the cross brace. This allows the horizontal bar in the device to be raised or lowered under the support of the cross brace, achieving smooth up and down driving and adapting to the needs of the workpiece blank to detach from the corresponding station mold core and transfer to the station.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, the support mechanism includes a bottom support base connected to the vertical telescopic rod and the cross-shaped diagonal brace, respectively. The bottom support base is slidably engaged with the guide rail. A drive rack parallel to the guide rail is provided on one side of the bottom support base. The horizontal feed mechanism includes an output motor, a main drive shaft, and transmission gears mounted at both ends of the main drive shaft. The transmission gears mesh with the rack on one side, and the output motor outputs rotational motion to drive the bottom support base to translate on the guide rail. This design optimizes the translation of the support mechanism on the guide rail. Through the engagement between the drive rack and the transmission gears, the horizontal feed mechanism enables the support mechanism to translate along the guide rail. The rack and gear engagement and the guide rail guidance ensure the straightness and accuracy of the workstation transfer. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The vehicle roof assembly equipment provided in this embodiment includes:

[0036] The glue spraying station assembly 1 includes a glue spraying mold core for positioning and placing the ceiling blank to assist in glue spraying, and a glue machine located at a preset height above the glue spraying mold core for receiving glue liquid and performing the glue spraying process.

[0037] The edge-binding station component 2 includes an edge-binding execution mechanism 2-1 and a lifting mechanism 2-2 that assists in performing the edge-binding action;

[0038] The snap-fit ​​assembly station assembly 3 includes an assembly robot arm 3-1 for performing assembly operations, an assembly mold core 3-2 for positioning and placing the ceiling blank to assist in the assembly operations, and a vibratory feeder mechanism 3-5 for assisting in conveying the snap-fit ​​into place.

[0039] The transplanting assembly includes a base frame 4-3, a drive mechanism, and two support mechanisms 4-1. The support mechanisms 4-1 are located at different positions on the base frame 4-3 and are used to transfer the roof blank from the glue spraying station assembly 1 to the edge wrapping station assembly 2, or from the edge wrapping station assembly 2 to the snap-fit ​​assembly station assembly 3.

[0040] The support assembly 5 includes a horizontal support beam located above the glue spraying station assembly 1, the edge wrapping station assembly 2, and the buckle assembly station assembly 3. It is used to suspend and fix the glue machine and the lifting mechanism 2-2. The outer edge of the horizontal support beam is connected to a longitudinal beam group, which is used to lift the horizontal support beam off the ground at a preset height.

[0041] The vehicle roof assembly equipment provided in this embodiment adopts a roof component positioning and transfer structure different from existing designs to improve inter-process transfer efficiency and ensure the integrity of the workpiece surface. Similar to existing roof processing equipment, it includes three main processing stations: a glue spraying station assembly 1, an edge-wrapping station assembly 2, and a snap-fit ​​assembly station assembly 3. A transfer assembly is set between the three stations for transferring the roof workpiece. Its structure mainly includes a base frame 4-3, a drive mechanism, and two support mechanisms 4-1. The support mechanism 4-1 can translate within the range between the three stations, thereby transferring the roof component it supports between the three stations. A bracket assembly 5 is set outside the three station assemblies to provide installation positions and external structural support, and can install the lifting mechanism 2-2 and the glue machine. By using the transfer assembly employed in this invention to stably transfer the workpiece blank between stations through translation, damage to the workpiece surface during the transfer process is effectively avoided, effectively solving the technical problems of low forming process efficiency and easy damage to the workpiece surface structure in existing vehicle roof assembly equipment.

[0042] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the support assembly 5 is detachably connected to a stair mechanism 5-1 on one side. One end of the stair mechanism 5-1 is connected to the cross brace beam, and the other end is connected to the ground, facilitating the installation and maintenance of various components on the cross brace beam. This design optimizes the installation and maintenance characteristics of the various assembly tools mounted on the support assembly 5. Since there is a certain height between the cross brace beam and the ground, a stair structure is provided on one side to facilitate the assembly and maintenance of the tools connected to it, making it convenient for operators to go up and down.

[0043] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the glue spraying station assembly 1 also includes a station enclosure mechanism. The station enclosure mechanism includes a movable roller shutter door located between the longitudinal beams surrounding the glue spraying station, used to close the station and prevent contamination during the glue spraying process. This design optimizes the structural design of the glue spraying station assembly 1, adapts to the process characteristics of the glue spraying station, and sets a movable roller shutter door between the longitudinal beams around it. During the glue spraying operation, the roller shutter door can be closed to prevent the sprayed material from flowing out and causing air pollution. The opening and closing operation of the roller shutter door can be linked to the spraying action of the glue machine, or it can be manually switched outside the station assembly.

[0044] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the glue spraying station component 1 further includes a hanging and loading mechanism for conveying the ceiling blank to the glue spraying mold core. The hanging and loading mechanism includes a slide rail fixed to the cross brace frame, and an automatic winch is connected inside the slide rail. This design optimizes the loading design of the equipment. Through the automatic winch and slide rail, the ceiling blank can be conveniently and quickly input from outside the glue spraying station component 1 to the first process, namely the glue spraying process, and the workpiece blank can be transferred to the glue spraying mold core. The shape and structure of the glue spraying mold core automatically positions the posture and position of the ceiling workpiece, ensuring that the workpiece blank can accurately reach the next station in a preset posture during subsequent station transfers.

[0045] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​assembly station component 3 has an assembly platform 3-4 for placing and fixing the assembly mold core 3-2 below it. Multiple sets of automatically controllable positioning fasteners 3-3 are arranged on the outer periphery of the assembly platform 3-4 to position the ceiling blank to be assembled at a preset position on the upper surface of the assembly mold core 3-2. This design optimizes the structural design of the snap-fit ​​assembly station component 3. The assembly platform 3-4, on which the assembly mold core is placed, can stably support the workpiece blank, and the positioning fasteners 3-3 further assist in stabilizing the position and posture of the workpiece blank placed on it.

[0046] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the vibratory feeder mechanism 3-5 includes a vibratory parts box 3-5-1 with a spiral output port 3-5-2. A parts transmission groove 3-5-3 is connected to the spiral output port 3-5-2. A positive output platform structure 3-5-4 is provided at the port of the parts transmission groove 3-5-3 for arranging the parts output from the parts transmission groove 3-5-3 in a preset posture for the assembly robot arm 3-1 to pick up and perform assembly. This design further optimizes the conveying of the buckles to be installed. The main structure of the vibratory feeder is the vibratory parts box 3-5-1, which is spiral in shape and has an output port on one side. Through this main structure, the buckles to be assembled contained in it can be output outward from its output port during vibration. The output is connected to the parts transmission groove 3-5-3, and in conjunction with the picking action of the robot arm, the positive output platform structure 3-5-4 is set to ensure that the buckle parts output through the parts transmission groove 3-5-3 are convenient for the robot arm to grasp and assemble, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the buckles.

[0047] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, a feeding hopper 3-5-6 for feeding parts to be used into the vibrating parts box 3-5-1 is provided at a predetermined distance above the central area of ​​the vibrating parts box 3-5-1; a photoelectric detection mechanism 3-5-5 is provided on one side of the vibrating parts box 3-5-1 to detect the stacking height of the parts contained in the vibrating parts box 3-5-1. This design further optimizes the material storage and replenishment design of the vibrating parts box 3-5-1. The photoelectric detection mechanism 3-5-5, such as an infrared rangefinder, detects the storage depth of the parts in the parts box. When it is confirmed that the storage amount is insufficient, the feeding hopper 3-5-6 suspended above replenishes the parts to be assembled into the parts box.

[0048] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the base frame 4-3 includes parallel guide rails, and the support mechanisms 4-1 are all slidably engaged with the guide rails. The driving mechanism includes a vertical feed mechanism 4-8 and a horizontal feed mechanism 4-2. The vertical feed mechanism 4-8 is used to drive the lifting and lowering of the support mechanisms 4-1, and the horizontal feed mechanism 4-2 is used to drive the two support mechanisms 4-1 to slide and adjust their positions on the guide rails. This design optimizes the structural design of the transplanting assembly. The base frame 4-3 includes guide rails, and through the sliding limit of the guide rails, the support mechanisms 4-1 can accurately and smoothly transfer the roof blank between the three workstations under the drive of the feed action output by the driving structure.

[0049] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the support mechanism 4-1 includes a pair of vertical telescopic rods 4-4 and a horizontal rod 4-5 connected to the top of the vertical telescopic rods 4-4. A cross-shaped diagonal brace 4-6 is provided between the horizontal rod 4-5 and the guide rail. The ends of the cross-shaped diagonal brace 4-6 are all provided with sliding pairs. The bottom of the cross-shaped diagonal brace 4-6 is connected to the vertical feed mechanism 4-8. The horizontal feed output by the vertical feed mechanism 4-8 changes the overlapping angle of the cross-shaped diagonal brace 4-6 to adjust the height position of the horizontal rod 4-5.

[0050] This design further optimizes the design of the support mechanism 4-1. The main body includes a horizontal bar 4-5 and a cross brace. The cross brace consists of two rods that cross in an X shape and are rotatably connected at the middle position. Therefore, a sliding pair is set at the end of the cross brace 4-6. The horizontal feed is output by the vertical feed mechanism 4-8 to drive the rotation of the cross brace 4-6, so that the horizontal bar 4-5 in the device can be raised or lowered under the supporting action of the cross brace 4-6, realizing a smooth up and down drive and adapting to the needs of the workpiece blank to detach from the corresponding station mold core and transfer to the station.

[0051] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the support mechanism 4-1 includes a bottom support base connected to the vertical telescopic rod 4-4 and the cross-shaped diagonal brace 4-6 respectively. The bottom support base is slidably engaged with the guide rail. A drive rack 4-7 parallel to the guide rail is provided on one side of the bottom support base. The horizontal feed mechanism 4-2 includes an output motor, a main drive shaft, and transmission gears installed at both ends of the main drive shaft. The transmission gears mesh with the rack on one side respectively. The output motor outputs rotational motion to drive the bottom support base to translate on the guide rail. This design optimizes the translation of the support mechanism 4-1 on the guide rail. Through the cooperation between the drive rack 4-7 and the transmission gears, the horizontal feed mechanism 4-2 enables the support mechanism 4-1 to translate along the guide rail. The rack and gear cooperation and the guide rail guidance ensure the straightness and accuracy of the workstation transfer.
