Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts assembly, and in particular to an installation production line and an installation method of an automobile roof skylight. Background Art

[0002] At present, the common installation method of the reinforcement frame of the car roof on the market is to press the upper and lower roof membranes together in an integral frame type. The working principle is that the reinforcement frame is manually embedded in the profiling block in the pressure-maintaining frame, and the glue is applied to the reinforcement frame installation area on the back of the roof. After the reinforcement frame is embedded and the roof is glued, the upper profiling mold is pushed by the cylinder to close the upper and lower roof membranes and maintain the pressure for 15-20 to allow the glue to react and solidify, so as to achieve the purpose of bonding the roof and the reinforcement frame. However, this process has the following defects:

[0003] 1. When personnel pre-embed the reinforcement frame, it is an inverted type, and they need to work within the operating range of the gluing robot, which poses production safety hazards such as collision and scalding.

[0004] 2. Operation sequence: manually take the canopy body to position the lower model cavity → manually take the frame accessories → manually embed the frame accessories → robot glue application → equipment pressure maintenance → manually take the installed canopy. The operation sequence is fixed and single, which wastes labor hours and has low production efficiency.

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a novel automobile roof skylight installation production line and installation method thereof to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the invention

[0011] Preferably, the automobile sunroof installation production line further comprises a spare gun tray, and the spare gun tray is placed close to the second robot.

[0012] A method for installing a car roof skylight comprises the following steps:

[0013] S1. The first robot applies glue to the installation area of ​​the ambient light base on the B side of the car roof;

[0014] S2, the second robot grabs the ambient light gun plate and performs pressure-maintaining operation on the installation area of ​​the B surface of the car roof, so that the ambient light base on the ambient light gun plate is installed on the B surface of the car roof;
