[0036] Example 1

[0037] In existing technologies, the installation of side window glass in buses uses a batch assembly process involving manual lifting. This manual lifting and installation is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to operator fatigue, affecting assembly efficiency and compromising safety. Even slight carelessness can cause the glass to detach and injure operators. Furthermore, individual glass pieces are expensive, and damage can result in material loss, leading to missing glass pieces in vehicles, production line shutdowns, and disruptions to normal production.

[0038] In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a bus side window glass installation device, including: an electrical box 2, a movable lifting mechanism, and an installation limiting mechanism. The movable lifting mechanism is disposed at the bottom of the electrical box 2, and the installation limiting mechanism is disposed on the side of the electrical box 2. The installation limiting mechanism includes an adjustment component, a fixing component, and a pushing component disposed in the electrical box 2. The adjustment component includes a rotating shaft 3 and a first drive structure. The rotating shaft 3 has a lifting part 31 for lifting the glass 1. The first drive structure is connected to the rotating shaft 3 and can drive the rotating shaft 3 to rotate and move up and down in the vertical direction. The fixing component includes a suction cup 4 and a second drive structure 5. The second drive structure 5 is connected to the electrical box 2 and its telescopic end is connected to the suction cup 4. The pushing component includes a glass pushing cylinder 6, which is fixedly installed in the electrical box 2 and is used to push the glass 1 into the side window frame.

[0039] The movable lifting mechanism can move the electrical box 2 horizontally and lift it vertically, bringing the electrical box 2 closer to the installation position of the glass 1. The suction cup 4 can hold the glass 1 in place, and the lifting part 31 of the rotating shaft 3 can lift the glass 1. Then, the first drive structure drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate and lift vertically. Through the coordination of fine-tuning the up and down and rotation adjustment of the rotating shaft 3, the lower surface of the glass 1 is smoothly placed against the stop of the window frame. The second drive structure 5 is activated to loosen the suction cup 4, and then the glass pushing cylinder 6 is activated. The glass pushing cylinder 6 extends and slowly pushes the glass 1 until it is pushed into the side window frame.

[0040] The bus side window glass installation device enables the automatic installation of bus side window glass, improves the assembly efficiency of the entire vehicle's side window glass, frees up manpower, reduces the labor intensity of workers, reduces the risk of glass falling off during manual lifting and installation, ensures assembly safety, reduces assembly costs, and improves the stability, safety and convenience of glass installation.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the first drive structure includes a first cylinder 7 and a second cylinder 8. The first cylinder 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 3, and the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 8 is connected to the rotating shaft 3 and can extend and retract in the vertical direction.

The telescopic rod of the second cylinder 8 can extend and retract vertically, thereby driving the rotating shaft 3 to rise and fall vertically. After the second cylinder 8 is activated, the height of the glass from the lower stop of the window frame can be finely adjusted by the rise and fall of the rotating shaft 3, so that the supporting part 31 is located at the height of the lower stop of the window frame. The first cylinder 7 is fixedly installed on the side of the electrical box 2 by a bracket. The telescopic rod of the first cylinder 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 3. After the first cylinder 7 is activated, it can rotate the rotating shaft 3, so that the supporting part 31 is fully overlapped at the lower stop of the window frame. Through the combination of the up and down fine adjustment of the second cylinder 8 and the rotation adjustment of the first cylinder 7, the lower surface of the glass can be stably overlapped at the lower stop of the window frame.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the rotating shaft 3 has a semi-circular structure, the supporting part 31 is disposed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 3, a first bearing 9 is disposed inside the rotating shaft 3, and the telescopic rod is inserted into the first bearing 9.

The supporting part 31 can support the glass. The telescopic rod of the second cylinder 8 is inserted into the first bearing 9 inside the rotating shaft 3, so that the second cylinder 8 can drive the rotating shaft 3 to rise and fall in the vertical direction.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the movable lifting mechanism includes a lifting component and a first translation component. The lifting component is located at the bottom of the first translation component and is connected to the first translation component. An electrical box 2 is connected to the top of the first translation component.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the first translation component includes a first translation track 16, a mounting bracket support 17, and a mounting bracket roller 18. The mounting bracket support 17 is disposed at the bottom of the electrical box 2. The mounting bracket roller 18 is connected to the mounting bracket support 17. The mounting bracket roller 18 is slidably engaged with the first translation track 16. The first translation track 16 is horizontally arranged along a first direction.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 The first translation track 16 is located on top of the lifting assembly. The electrical box 2 is connected to the mounting bracket support 17 and slides horizontally along the first direction (left-right direction) on the first translation track 16 via the mounting bracket rollers 18. Limit blocks 24 are provided at both ends of the first translation track 16 to limit the sliding position of the mounting bracket rollers 18.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a telescopic cylinder 19 and a lifting arm 20. The top of the lifting arm 20 is connected to the first translational track 16. The telescopic cylinder 19 is connected to the lifting arm 20 and is used to drive the lifting arm 20 to move in the vertical direction.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A pad 25 is provided between the lifting arm 20 and the first translational track 16. The lifting arm 20 includes a connecting rod 26.

A cylinder fixing bracket 29 is fixed on the cylinder rotating round steel 28, and the telescopic cylinder 19 is mounted on the cylinder fixing bracket 29. The movement of the telescopic cylinder 19 can drive the lifting arm 20 to move vertically up and down, thereby changing the height of the electrical box 2.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the lifting assembly is further provided with a second translation assembly. The second translation assembly includes a second translation rail 21, a bottom support 22, and a bottom roller 23.

The second translation rail 21 is horizontally arranged along the second direction.

[0057] Please see Figure 1 The second translation track 21 is set at the bottom of the lifting arm 20. The bottom of the lifting arm 20 is connected to a moving platform. The moving platform is fixedly connected to the bottom support 22 and slides horizontally along the second direction, i.e. the front-back direction, on the second translation track 21 via the bottom roller 23.

[0058] The method of using the bus side window glass mounting device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0059] First, the electrical box 2 is moved back and forth by the second translation component to bring it closer to the glass installation area. Then, the lifting component raises and lowers the electrical box 2 to the appropriate height for installation. Next, the first translation component moves the electrical box 2 left and right to move it near the lower stop of the window frame. The up-and-down fine adjustment of the second cylinder 8 and the rotation adjustment of the first cylinder 7 work together to ensure that the lower surface of the glass can smoothly overlap the lower stop of the window frame. The second drive structure 5 is activated to loosen the suction cup 4. Finally, the glass pushing cylinder 6 is activated to slowly push the glass until it is pressed into the side window frame.
