[0002] The purpose of attaching sealing gaskets to car lights is to ensure the stability, safety, service life and performance of the lamps. Sealing gaskets can effectively fix the various parts of the lamp together to prevent the parts from loosening or falling off, which is essential to ensure the normal operation and extend the service life of the lamp. For lamps used outdoors or in humid environments, waterproof and dustproof performance is essential. Sealing gaskets can form a dense protective film to effectively prevent moisture and dust from entering the interior of the lamp, thereby avoiding damage to internal components or causing safety hazards. In addition, sealing gaskets can fill the gaps between lamp components, improve the airtightness of the lamp, help prevent external factors such as air and water vapor from invading the interior of the lamp, and further protect the performance and service life of the lamp.

[0003] The existing method of sticking the sealing gasket to the lamp housing is mainly manual sticking, that is, manually peeling off the surface release paper of the sealing gasket and manually sticking it to the contact surface of the lamp housing. During the manual sticking process, due to differences in personal skills, experience and operating habits, the sticking quality may be inconsistent. The difference in sticking quality may affect the sealing performance of the sealing gasket, thereby affecting the waterproof, dustproof and other properties of the lamp.

By setting a vacuum generator, when the vacuum generator is started, the vacuum generator will extract the air in the seal and the groove of the fixed block through the exhaust hole, so that the seal fits tightly to the bottom surface of the groove of the fixed block, further ensuring the pasting position of the seal, ensuring the sealing effect of the seal, and then ensuring the assembly quality of the lamp shell, and also achieving semi-automatic installation of the seal. When the lamp housing is pressed down, the housing profiling block moves downward, which in turn drives the first smooth shaft to slide in the first guide portion and the second smooth shaft to slide in the second guide portion. After the sealing gasket is pasted on the circumferential surface of the lamp housing to be pasted, the housing profiling block stops moving downward, and at the same time, the first spring and the second spring are compressed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention provides a semi-automatic tool for installing a lamp sealing gasket, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a bottom plate 1, and the two sides of the bottom plate 1 are respectively fixedly connected with a first lower support frame 2 and a second lower support frame 3, and the first lower support frame 2 and the second lower support frame 3 are symmetrically arranged, which play a supporting role for the lower part of the tooling. The upper ends of the first lower support frame 2 and the second lower support frame 3 are both connected to the fixed plate 4, and the two sides of the top surface of the fixed plate 4 are fixedly connected with a first upper support frame 5 and a second upper support frame 6, and the first upper support frame 5 and the second upper support frame 6 are symmetrically arranged, which play a supporting role for the upper part of the tooling. The upper end of the first upper support frame 5 is connected to the first top plate 7, and the upper end of the second upper support frame 6 is connected to the second top plate 8. The upper surfaces of the first top plate 7 and the second top plate 8 are fixedly connected to a fixed block 9, and one end of the fixed block 9 is fixedly connected to the first top plate 7, and the other end of the fixed block 9 is fixedly connected to the second top plate 8 so that the fixed block 9 is erected between the first top plate 7 and the second top plate 8, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the tooling.

[0022] A fixing block through hole 10 is provided in the middle of the fixing block 9. The fixing block through hole 10 is in the shape of an elongated strip and conforms to the shape of the lamp housing 14. A fixing block groove 11 is provided on the circumferential edge of the fixing block through hole 10. The fixing block groove 11 is used to place a sealing gasket 12, and the shape and size of the sealing gasket 12 match the fixing block groove 11. A sealing glue is provided on one surface of the sealing gasket 12, and the sealing glue is covered with a surface release paper. The other surface of the sealing gasket 12 is not provided with a sealing glue. When the sealing gasket 12 is pasted, the surface of the sealing gasket 12 not provided with a sealing glue is abutted against the fixing block groove 11. A shell profiling block 13 is slidably connected in the fixing block through hole 10. The shell profiling block 13 is used to accommodate the lamp shell 14. The shell profiling block 13 matches the shape and size of the lamp shell 14. After the lamp shell 14 is placed in the shell profiling block 13, the circumferential surface of the sealing gasket to be pasted of the lamp shell 14 will protrude from the upper edge of the shell profiling block 13. Pressing the lamp shell 14 downward will drive the shell profiling block 13 to move downward. When the circumferential surface of the sealing gasket to be pasted of the lamp shell 14 abuts against the sealing gasket 12, the shell profiling block 13 stops moving downward, and the surface release paper is peeled off to complete the operation of pasting the sealing gasket to the lamp shell 14. In a natural state, the upper edge of the shell profiling block 13 protrudes from the fixing block groove 11, so that the sealing gasket 12 can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the upper edge of the shell profiling block 13, that is, the sealing gasket 12 is just stuck on the outer side of the upper edge of the shell profiling block 13 and is located in the fixing block groove 11, thereby achieving precise positioning of the sealing gasket 12, and the sealing gasket 12 will not shift, thereby ensuring the quality of adhesion.

[0023] The bottom of the fixing block groove 11 is evenly distributed with a number of exhaust holes 15, which are connected to a vacuum generator (not shown). When the sealing gasket 12 is placed in the fixing block groove 11, there is air between the sealing gasket 12 and the fixing block groove 11, that is, a gap is generated, and the sealing gasket 12 will not fit tightly to the bottom surface of the fixing block groove 11. If it is pasted to the headlight housing 14 in this way, the pasting position of the sealing gasket 12 will be misaligned, affecting the sealing effect of the sealing gasket 12, and further affecting the assembly quality of the headlight housing 14. The tooling is provided with a vacuum generator. When the vacuum generator is started, the vacuum generator will extract the air in the sealing gasket 12 and the fixing block groove 11 through the exhaust holes 15, so that the sealing gasket 12 fits tightly to the bottom surface of the fixing block groove 11, further ensuring the pasting position of the sealing gasket 12, ensuring the sealing effect of the sealing gasket 12, and further ensuring the assembly quality of the headlight housing 14, and also realizing the semi-automatic installation of the sealing gasket 12.

[0024] The fixing plate 4 is provided with a first mounting hole 16 and a second mounting hole 17, and the first mounting hole 16 and the second mounting hole 17 are symmetrically arranged. The fixing plate 4 is respectively connected to a hollow first connecting plate 18 and a hollow second connecting plate 19, the first connecting plate 18 is connected to a hollow first guide column 20, and the second connecting plate 19 is connected to a hollow second guide column 21, so that the first guide column 20 and the first connecting plate 18 are communicated with the first mounting hole 16, and the second guide column 21 and the second mounting plate are communicated with the second mounting hole 17, providing a guide for the up and down sliding of the shell profiling block 13. The tooling also includes a first smooth shaft 22 and a second smooth shaft 23, which are symmetrically arranged. One end of the first smooth shaft 22 is connected to the shell profiling block 13, and the other end of the first smooth shaft 22 passes through the first guide column 20, the first connecting plate 18 and the first mounting hole 16 in sequence. The first guide column 20, the first connecting plate 18 and the first mounting hole 16 form a first guide portion, so that the first smooth shaft 22 can slide in the first guide portion, and one end of the second smooth shaft 23 is connected to the shell profiling block 13, and the other end of the second smooth shaft 23 passes through the second guide column 21, the second connecting plate 19 and the second mounting hole 17 in sequence. The second guide column 21, the second connecting plate 19 and the second mounting hole 17 form a second guide portion, so that the second smooth shaft 23 slides in the second guide portion.

[0025] The upper end of the first smooth shaft 22 is clamped with a first upper clamp 24 to limit the downward sliding of the first smooth shaft 22, and the lower end of the first smooth shaft 22 is clamped with a first lower clamp 25 to limit the upward sliding of the first smooth shaft 22; the upper end of the second smooth shaft 23 is clamped with a second upper clamp 26 to limit the downward sliding of the second smooth shaft 23, and the lower end of the second smooth shaft 23 is clamped with a second lower clamp 27 to limit the upward sliding of the second smooth shaft 23. The first lower clamp 25 and the second lower clamp 27 are arranged below the fixing plate 4. The outer wall of the first smooth shaft 22 is sleeved with a first spring 28, and the first spring 28 is arranged between the first upper clamp 24 and the first guide column 20. The outer wall of the second smooth shaft 23 is sleeved with a second spring 29, and the second spring 29 is arranged between the second upper clamp 26 and the second guide column 21. When the lamp housing 14 is pressed down, the housing profiling block 13 is driven to move downward, which in turn drives the first smooth shaft 22 to slide in the first guide portion and the second smooth shaft 23 to slide in the second guide portion. After the sealing gasket 12 is pasted on the circumferential surface of the lamp housing 14 to which the sealing gasket is to be pasted, the housing profiling block 13 stops moving downward, and at the same time, the first spring 28 and the second spring 29 are compressed. When the lamp housing 14 is no longer pressed down, the compression force of the first spring 28 and the second spring 29 will generate an upward thrust on the housing profiling block 13, and the housing profiling block 13 moves upward, which in turn drives the lamp housing 14 to move upward, and the lamp housing 14 can be taken out, thereby ensuring the assembly quality of the lamp housing 14 and realizing the semi-automatic installation of the sealing gasket 12.

[0026] The semi-automatic tooling for installing the lamp sealing gasket provided by the present invention, in a specific application process, firstly, the surface of the sealing gasket 12 without the sealant is placed in contact with the fixing block groove 11, at which time the sealing gasket 12 is just stuck on the outer side of the upper edge of the shell profiling block 13, and then the vacuum generator is started to extract the air in the sealing gasket 12 and the fixing block groove 11 through the exhaust hole 15, so that the sealing gasket 12 is tightly fitted to the bottom surface of the fixing block groove 11; then the lamp housing 14 is placed in the housing profiling block 13, and the lamp housing 14 is pressed down to move the lamp housing 14 downward, which will drive the first smooth shaft 22 to The first spring 28 and the second spring 29 are compressed. When the pressure on the lamp housing 14 is cancelled, the compression force of the first spring 28 and the second spring 29 will push the housing profiling block 13 upward, thereby driving the lamp housing 14 with the sealing gasket 12 pasted upward, and the operator can take out the lamp housing 14. When the sealing gasket 12 is pasted to the circumferential surface of the lamp housing 14 to be pasted, the tooling ensures the pasting quality, the sealing quality and the assembly quality of the sealing gasket 12, and saves time and effort, improves the assembly efficiency, and realizes the semi-automatic installation of the lamp sealing gasket 12.

[0027] In this embodiment, handles 30 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the base plate 1. By providing the handles 30, the operator can move the tool to any position more conveniently, thereby realizing the convenience of moving the tool.

[0028] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
