Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention mainly relates to the automotive field, specifically to a tooling for fixing automotive interior parts. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry and the increasing demands of consumers for driving and riding experiences, panoramic sunroofs have become a standard feature in mid-to-high-end cars due to their ability to greatly enhance the sense of spaciousness and comfort inside the vehicle. A panoramic sunroof typically consists of a large glass panel, a complex sunshade assembly, a drive motor, guide rails, and decorative covers, among other components. It is structurally complex, large in size, heavy, and requires extremely high installation precision and sealing.
[0003] On the assembly line for automotive interior parts, the installation of the sunroof assembly is a crucial and complex step. Currently, the industry commonly uses traditional interior part fixing fixtures or general-purpose grippers and hangers to fix panoramic sunroofs.
[0004] During the operation of specific embodiments, the inventors discovered the following defects: The installation of a panoramic sunroof requires work to be performed from the outside inwards above the roof opening. Existing fixtures are mostly rigid frame structures, with their bodies, brackets, or drive mechanisms often being bulky and cumbersome. During operation, these structures are highly susceptible to collisions and interference with the A-pillars, B-pillars, and even the edge of the roof, making it impossible to provide an unobstructed and precise path for the sunroof assembly to be lowered, thus hindering the sunroof's ability to smoothly enter the narrow roof mounting opening.
[0005] It should be noted that the above content falls within the scope of the inventor's technical knowledge. Due to the vast and complex nature of the technical content in this field, the above content of this application does not necessarily constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] 2. Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: a fixture for fixing automotive interior parts, comprising an installation and fixing structure, wherein suction cup fixing structures are rotatably connected to the four sides of the installation and fixing structure, a movable fixing structure is slidably connected to the bottom of the installation and fixing structure, a lead screw is rotatably connected to the middle of the movable fixing structure, and adjustment structures are slidably connected to both sides of the movable fixing structure, wherein the lead screw is connected to the adjustment structure, and U-shaped frames are provided on both sides of the adjustment structure; The suction cup fixing structure includes a pump body, a rotating shaft is provided at the top of the pump body, a honeycomb plate is provided at the bottom of the pump body, and a suction cup body is provided at the bottom of the honeycomb plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the mounting and fixing structure includes a connecting plate, with side supports on all four sides of the connecting plate, a mounting block at one end of each side support, the mounting block being rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and positioning strips on both sides of the bottom outer wall of the connecting plate.
[0009] Furthermore, a first electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the mounting block, and one end of the first electric telescopic rod is connected to the pump body.
[0010] Furthermore, the movable fixed structure includes a sliding plate, which is located directly below the connecting plate. A second electric telescopic rod is provided between the sliding plate and the connecting plate. Two support frames are provided on both sides of the sliding plate, and guide grooves are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the support frames.
[0011] Furthermore, positioning wheels are rotatably connected to the four corners of the top of the sliding plate, and the positioning wheels are slidably connected to the positioning strip.
[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment structure includes a movable bar with a mating hole in the middle, the mating hole engaging with a lead screw, guide bars on both sides of the top of the movable bar, the guide bars being slidably connected to guide grooves, and sliding holes on both sides of the movable bar.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances. Example
[0022] See attached document Figure 1-5 A fixture for fixing automotive interior parts includes an installation and fixing structure 1, a suction cup fixing structure 2 rotatably connected to the four sides of the installation and fixing structure 1, a movable fixing structure 3 slidably connected to the bottom of the installation and fixing structure 1, a lead screw 4 rotatably connected to the middle of the movable fixing structure 3, and an adjustment structure 5 slidably connected to both sides of the movable fixing structure 3. The lead screw 4 is connected to the adjustment structure 5, and U-shaped frames 6 are provided on both sides of the adjustment structure 5. The suction cup fixing structure 2 includes a pump body 201, a rotating shaft 202 at the top of the pump body 201, a honeycomb plate 203 at the bottom of the pump body 201, and a suction cup body 204 at the bottom of the honeycomb plate 203. During the upward movement of the panoramic sunroof, the panoramic sunroof fits against the bottom of the suction cup body 204, and the panoramic sunroof squeezes the honeycomb plate 203 through the suction cup body 204. The pump body 201 can also expel the gas inside the suction cup body 204, thereby stably fixing the panoramic sunroof.
[0023] Furthermore, the mounting and fixing structure 1 includes a connecting plate 101, with side brackets 102 on all four sides of the connecting plate 101. A mounting block 103 is provided at one end of each side bracket 102, and the mounting block 103 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 202. Positioning strips 105 are provided on both sides of the bottom outer wall of the connecting plate 101. A first electric telescopic rod 104 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the mounting block 103. One end of the first electric telescopic rod 104 is connected to the pump body 201. When it is necessary to fix the panoramic sunroof of the car's interior using a fixture, the connecting plate 101 is connected to the robotic arm, and then fixed to the panoramic sunroof via the set adjustment structure 5. Before connecting the panoramic sunroof to the suction cup fixing structure 2, the first electric telescopic rod 104 is activated. The first electric telescopic rod 104 pushes the pump body 201 to rotate at one end of the side bracket 102 to adjust the angle of the suction cup fixing structure 2, so as to avoid the suction cup body 204 not being able to fully attract the panoramic sunroof when the top of the panoramic sunroof is curved.
[0024] Furthermore, the movable fixed structure 3 includes a sliding plate 301, which is located directly below the connecting plate 101. A second electric telescopic rod 302 is provided between the sliding plate 301 and the connecting plate 101. Two support frames 303 are respectively provided on both sides of the sliding plate 301. Guide grooves 304 are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the support frame 303. Positioning wheels 305 are rotatably connected to the four corners of the top of the sliding plate 301. The positioning wheels 305 are slidably connected to the positioning strip 105. When the second electric telescopic rod 302 is activated, it drives the positioning wheels 305 at the four corners of the top of the sliding plate 301 to slide on the outer wall of the positioning strip 105, causing the sliding plate 301 to move the adjustment structure 5 left and right. The adjustment structure 5 moves the panoramic sunroof fixed inside the U-shaped frame 6 to adjust the position of the panoramic sunroof.
[0025] Furthermore, the adjustment structure 5 includes a movable bar 501 with a mating hole 502 in the middle, which engages with the lead screw 4. Guide bars 503 are provided on both sides of the top of the movable bar 501, and the guide bars 503 are slidably connected to the guide groove 304. Sliding holes 504 are provided on both sides of the movable bar 501. A third electric telescopic rod 505 is provided on both sides of the top of the movable bar 501. A lifting plate 506 is provided at the output end of the third electric telescopic rod 505. A sliding rod 507 is provided on one side of the lifting plate 506, and the sliding rod 507 is slidably connected to the sliding hole 504. Next, an auxiliary strip 508 is provided on the outer wall of the lifting plate 506. A U-shaped frame 6 is provided at one end of the auxiliary strip 508. The moving strip 501 moves to the docking position of the panoramic sunroof. Then, a motor is provided at the bottom of the sliding plate 301. The motor is started, and the motor drives the lead screw 4 to rotate. The lead screw 4 drives the moving strip 501 to slide on the outer wall of the support frame 303. Then, the moving strip 501 drives the auxiliary strip 508 to move inward. The auxiliary strip 508 drives the U-shaped frame 6 to fit against the outer walls on both sides of the panoramic sunroof. Then, the robotic arm drives the panoramic sunroof to move directly above the car through the installation and fixing structure 1, the moving and fixing structure 3 and the adjustment structure 5. Next, the panoramic sunroof needs to be fixed from the U-shaped frame 6 to the suction cup fixing structure 2. The third electric telescopic rod 505 is activated. The third electric telescopic rod 505 drives the lifting plate 506 to move upward. The lifting plate 506 drives the auxiliary strip 508 to move upward. Then the auxiliary strip 508 drives the U-shaped frame 6 to move upward, so that the U-shaped frame 6 drives the panoramic sunroof to move upward, so that the panoramic sunroof and the suction cup fixing structure 2 fit together. When the position of the panoramic sunroof needs to be adjusted forward or backward, two lead screws 4 are set. The two lead screws 4 are connected to different motors. When the two motors are started, they drive the two lead screws 4 to rotate, causing the adjustment structure 5 to move the moving bar 501 to the same side. Then, the moving bar 501 drives the U-shaped frame 6 to move to one side through the auxiliary bar 508, thereby realizing the forward and backward movement of the panoramic sunroof. Combined with the left and right movement, it is used to adjust the position of the panoramic sunroof before installation.
[0026] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of the present invention, and are described in a relatively specific and detailed manner. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
