Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of vehicle manufacturing, and in particular to a sealing strip installation tool. Background Technology

[0002] Large-size, panoramic sunroofs, as a product of the new energy development trend, are increasingly sought after by OEMs and favored by end customers. As sunroofs become larger and larger in area, they also pose a new challenge to their waterproof and soundproof performance.

[0003] In related technologies, panoramic sunroofs typically achieve a seal between the sunroof and the body panel by overlapping a sealing strip, such as one with PU edging, with the sealing strip. However, during the installation of the sealing strip, problems often arise such as reduced waterproofing performance or abnormal noise due to poor fit between the sealing strip and the sunroof. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sealing strip installation tool to address the problems of poor fit during the installation of sealing strips in related technologies, which leads to decreased waterproof performance or abnormal noise.

[0005] The sealing strip installation fixture provided in this application includes:

[0006] The support frame has a contour groove that conforms to the shape of the sealing strip. The contour groove is used to fix the sealing strip. The support frame can drive the sealing strip to expand outward or contract inward.

[0007] A transfer mechanism is movably disposed relative to the support frame. The transfer mechanism is used to transfer the glass assembly into the space enclosed by the sealing strip, so that the edge of the glass assembly abuts against and adheres to the sealing strip.

[0008] The pressing mechanism is movably disposed relative to the support frame. When the edge of the glass assembly is bonded to the sealing strip, the pressing mechanism can press against the edge of the glass assembly and the support frame can retract horizontally to squeeze the sealing strip.

[0009] In one embodiment, the support frame includes a main body and a connecting part that are sequentially spliced ​​to form a ring structure, and both the main body and the connecting part can move in the horizontal direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, the sealing strip installation fixture includes a clamping mechanism, which is movably disposed relative to the support frame and is used to press against the sealing strip placed on the contour groove.

[0011] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes a first clamping part, a second clamping part, and a third clamping part, wherein the first clamping part is used to press against the corner of the sealing strip, and the second clamping part and the third clamping part are respectively located on both sides of the first clamping part and are used to press against the adjacent main edge of the sealing strip forming the corner.

[0012] In one embodiment, the sealing strip installation fixture includes a plurality of first adsorption elements, which are spaced apart along the extension direction on the contour groove, and the first adsorption elements are used to adsorb the sealing strip.

[0013] In one embodiment, the sealing strip mounting fixture includes a first drive assembly connected to the support frame and used to drive the support frame to contract or expand in the horizontal direction.

[0014] In one embodiment, the transfer mechanism includes an adsorption component and a positioning component. The adsorption component is used to support and adsorb the glass component along the height direction of the support frame and to transfer the glass component to the positioning component. The positioning component is used to adjust the glass component relative to the support frame to a preset position along the horizontal direction of the support frame. The preset position is configured such that the edge of the glass component overlaps at least partially with the sealing strip mounted on the contour groove in the height direction.

[0015] In one embodiment, the positioning component includes a support structure and a positioning member. The support structure is used to support the glass component transferred from the adsorption component, and the positioning member is used to adjust the relative position of the glass component on the support structure to the preset position.

[0016] In one embodiment, the positioning member includes a first positioning clamp and a second positioning clamp, the first positioning clamp being used to adjust the relative position of the glass assembly on the support structure along the length direction of the glass assembly, and the second positioning clamp being used to adjust the relative position of the glass assembly on the support structure along the width direction of the glass assembly.

[0017] In one embodiment, the adsorption assembly includes a plurality of second adsorption elements, and each second adsorption element has a plurality of limiting elements arranged circumferentially.

[0018] In one embodiment, the adsorption assembly further includes a second driving assembly for driving the second adsorption member and the limiting member to move along the height direction of the support frame.

[0019] In one embodiment, the transfer mechanism further includes a sensing mechanism disposed within the support frame, the sensing mechanism being used to monitor the height of the glass assembly in the height direction when the adsorption assembly transfers the glass assembly.

[0022] In one embodiment, the sealing strip installation fixture includes an installation platform, and the support frame, the transfer mechanism, and the pressing mechanism are all disposed on the installation platform.

[0023] The sealing strip installation fixture described in this application features a support frame that allows the sealing strip to expand outwards or contract inwards. This allows the sealing strip to first expand and stretch outwards, and then, when it presses against and adheres to the edge of the glass assembly, the expanded sealing strip utilizes its elasticity to tightly adhere to the edge of the glass assembly, thereby helping to reduce the assembly gap between the two and improve the sealing effect. Furthermore, the sealing strip installation fixture also includes a pressing mechanism that presses against the edge of the glass assembly. This, combined with the inward contraction of the support frame, ensures that the edge of the glass assembly and the sealing strip are subjected to at least dual compression in both the height and horizontal directions. Furthermore, maintaining this pressure for a period of time helps to improve the adhesion of the sealing strip to the edge of the glass assembly. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "axial", "horizontal", "circumferential", etc. appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0035] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0036] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a sealing strip installation fixture 10, which may include a support frame 100, a transfer mechanism 200, and a pressing mechanism 300. Please refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 100 is provided with a contour groove 100a that conforms to the shape of the sealing strip 20. The contour groove 100a is used to fix the sealing strip 20, and the support frame 100 can drive the sealing strip 20 to expand outward or contract inward. The transfer mechanism 200 is movable relative to the support frame 100. The transfer mechanism 200 is used to transfer the glass assembly 30 into the space enclosed by the sealing strip 20, so that the edge of the glass assembly 30 and the sealing strip 20 press against each other and adhere. The pressing mechanism 300 is movable relative to the support frame 100. When the edge of the glass assembly 30 is adhered to the sealing strip 20, the pressing mechanism 300 can press against the edge of the glass assembly 30, and the support frame 100 can contract in the horizontal direction X to squeeze the sealing strip 20.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2Understandably, the sealing strip 20 can be installed on the contour groove 100a along the height direction H of the support frame 100. The edge of the glass assembly 30 can be pressed against the sealing strip 20 along the height direction H of the support frame 100 and bonded to the sealing strip 20.

[0039] Specifically, when using the aforementioned sealing strip installation fixture 10, the sealing strip 20 is first placed and fixed on the contour groove 100a, and then the sealing strip 20 is expanded outward by the support frame 100. When the support frame 100 expands the sealing strip 20 outward to the preset position, the transfer mechanism 200 moves relative to the support frame 100 and transfers the glass assembly 30 into the space enclosed by the sealing strip 20, so that the edge of the glass assembly 30 and the sealing strip 20 press against each other and adhere. Finally, the pressing mechanism 300 presses against the edge of the glass assembly 30, while the support frame 100 contracts in the horizontal direction X to squeeze the sealing strip 20, completing the pressure holding operation.

[0040] After completing the above steps, remove the glass assembly 30 and return all mechanisms to their original positions, thus allowing the next cycle to begin.

[0041] The sealing strip installation fixture 10 described in this application, through the support frame 100, allows the sealing strip 20 to expand outward or contract inward. This allows the sealing strip 20 to first expand and stretch outward, and then, when it presses against and adheres to the edge of the glass assembly 30, the expanded sealing strip 20 can utilize its own elasticity to tightly adhere to the edge of the glass assembly 30, thereby helping to reduce the assembly gap between the two and improve the sealing effect. In addition, the sealing strip installation fixture 10 is also provided with a pressing mechanism 300, which presses the edge of the glass assembly 30. This, combined with the inward contraction of the support frame 100, ensures that the edge of the glass assembly 30 and the sealing strip 20 are subjected to at least double compression along the height direction H and the horizontal direction X. Furthermore, maintaining pressure for a period of time helps to improve the adhesion of the sealing strip 20 to the edge of the glass assembly 30.

[0042] It should be noted that the above configuration allows users to use a sealing strip 20 with a smaller perimeter than the edge of the glass assembly 30. This avoids the assembly redundancy gap caused by using a sealing strip 20 with a relatively longer perimeter for ease of assembly, as is the case in traditional technologies, which reduces the sealing effect.

[0043] It should be noted that the aforementioned height direction H can refer to the direction perpendicular to the surface of the glass assembly 30, or a direction deviating from that vertical direction within a certain range. The aforementioned horizontal direction X can refer to the direction of expansion or contraction along the space enclosed by the sealing strip 20.

[0044] According to the above embodiments of this application, the sealing strip installation fixture 10 of this application can be, but is not limited to, applicable to the installation and adaptation process of sealing strips 20 with various cross-sectional shapes and the edges of glass components 30.

[0045] Optionally, the support frame 100 of this application may be, but is not limited to, a ring shape. Specifically, the ring shape may be, but is not limited to, an ellipse, a circle, a quadrilateral, or other polygons, etc. The specific shape can be determined according to the shape of the glass assembly 30 and the shape of the sealing strip 20, and is not limited here.

[0046] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the sealing strip 20 may include a first sealing ring 21 and a second sealing ring 22 with a preset included angle. The second sealing ring 22 is connected to the inner side of the first sealing ring 21. The contour groove 100a may be configured to include a first mounting surface b1 and a second mounting surface b2 with a preset included angle. The first mounting surface b1 and the second mounting surface b2 are respectively used to abut and support the first sealing ring 21 and the second sealing ring 22.

[0047] Understandably, the pressing mechanism 300 can press against the edge of the glass assembly 30 along the height direction H, applying pressure to the edge of the glass assembly 30 towards the first sealing ring 21. Additionally, the support frame 100 can retract along the horizontal direction X, applying pressure to the second mounting surface b2 of the contour groove 100a towards the second sealing ring 22. Thus, both the first sealing ring 21 and the second sealing ring 22 of the sealing strip 20 are subjected to pressure perpendicular to their respective ring surfaces, thereby improving the pressure-holding effect between the sealing strip 20 and the edge of the glass assembly 30, preventing the sealing strip 20 from developing waves or wrinkles, reducing the assembly gap between them, and improving the sealing effect.

[0048] Of course, this application also applies to other sealing strips 20 with other cross-sectional shapes, such as sealing strips 20 with a straight or U-shaped cross-section.

[0049] Alternatively, please refer to the following: Figure 1 The pressing mechanism 300 described above in this application can be evenly arranged along the extending direction of the edge of the glass assembly 30. If multiple pressing mechanisms 300 are provided along the extending direction of the edge of the glass assembly 30, the edge of the glass assembly 30 can be pressed by multiple pressing mechanisms 300 at the same time to achieve a multi-directional pressing effect on the edge of the glass assembly 30.

[0050] Understandably, in this embodiment, since the pressing mechanism 300 is evenly arranged along the extension direction of the edge of the glass assembly 30, the pressing action of the pressing mechanism 300 can cooperate with the inward contraction action of the support frame 100 to apply force evenly along the extension direction of the edge of the glass assembly 30. This ensures the consistency of force on the sealing strip 20 along the aforementioned extension direction during the compression process, further reducing the phenomenon of waves or wrinkles generated by the sealing strip 20 during the compression process, improving the fit between the sealing strip 20 and the edge of the glass assembly 30, and reducing the problem of decreased waterproof performance of the sealing strip 20 or abnormal noise due to assembly gaps.

[0051] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the sealing strip mounting fixture 10 may include a first drive assembly 400, which is connected to the support frame 100 and is used to drive the support frame 100 to contract or expand in the horizontal direction X.

[0052] Specifically, the first drive assembly 400 described above may, but is not limited to, include a combination of a power source, a slide rail, and a slider. The power source may, but is not limited to, a cylinder or a motor. It is worth noting that multiple sets of the first drive assembly 400 may be arranged along the extending direction of the support frame 100, thereby ensuring that each part of the support frame 100 in its extending direction can simultaneously contract or expand in the horizontal direction X.

[0053] Please continue reading. Figure 2 In some embodiments, the support frame 100 may include a main body 110 and a connecting part 120 sequentially spliced ​​to form a ring structure. Both the main body 110 and the connecting part 120 can move along the horizontal direction X of the support frame 100. In other words, the main body 110 and the connecting part 120 can move in the direction that the annular area enclosed by the support frame 100 tends to increase or decrease. This realizes the process of the support frame 100 driving the sealing strip 20 to stretch and expand, and the process of squeezing the sealing strip 20 to maintain pressure between the sealing strip 20 and the edge of the glass assembly 30.

[0054] For example, in some embodiments, the support frame 100 of this application can be implemented as a quadrilateral, the main body 110 can be implemented as the four sides of the quadrilateral, and the connecting part 120 can be implemented as the four connecting corners of the quadrilateral, thereby forming the aforementioned ring structure by splicing the four corners and the four sides together.

[0055] When it is necessary to stretch and expand the sealing strip 20, the first drive assembly 400 can simultaneously drive the main body 110 and the connecting part 120 to move in the direction of increasing annular area, thereby realizing the stretching and expansion operation of the sealing strip 20 installed on the contour groove 100a.

[0056] Understandably, after the stretched and expanded sealing strip 20 and the edge of the glass assembly 30 press against each other and adhere, the first driving assembly 400 can simultaneously drive the main body 110 and the connecting part 120 to move in the direction of shrinking annular area, thereby realizing the squeezing and pressure holding operation of the sealing strip 20, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0057] Optionally, when the sealing strip 20 described above is installed on the contour groove 100a, it can be fixed by means of adsorption, pressing or snapping, etc., as needed.

[0058] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the sealing strip installation fixture 10 includes a clamping mechanism 500, which is movably disposed relative to the support frame 100. The clamping mechanism 500 is used to press against the sealing strip 20 placed on the contour groove 100a, thereby improving the installation stability of the sealing strip 20 on the contour groove 100a.

[0059] It should be noted that during the process of the sealing strip 20 being pressed against the edge of the glass assembly 30, the pressing force it experiences on the main body 110 may cause structural accumulation at the connection part 120 due to the transmission of the pressing force, resulting in problems such as waves, wrinkles, or corner cracking 23. More specifically, when the main edge 24 of the quadrilateral sealing strip 20 is pressed, the sealing strip 20 is prone to structural redundancy at its corner 23, leading to a decrease in the fit of the assembly.

[0060] To improve the fit between the sealing strip 20 and the edge of the glass assembly 30 at the corner 23, optionally, please combine... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism 500 includes a first pressing part 500a, a second pressing part 500b, and a third pressing part 500c. The first pressing part 500a is used to press against the corner 23 of the sealing strip 20. The second pressing part 500b and the third pressing part 500c are located on both sides of the first pressing part 500a and are used to press against the adjacent main edge 24 of the corner 23 of the sealing strip 20. This helps to improve the pressing effect on the corner 23 of the sealing strip 20 installed on the contour groove 100a, thereby reducing problems such as waves, wrinkles, or corner 23 cracking caused by the structural accumulation of the sealing strip 20 on the corner 23.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1The pressing mechanism 300 may include a fixed base 310, a rotating arm 320 and a pressing part 330. One end of the rotating arm 320 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 310, and the other end of the rotating arm 320 is connected to the pressing part 330. The rotating arm 320 can rotate relative to the fixed base 310 so that the pressing part 330 presses against the edge of the glass assembly 30. The structure is simple and reliable.

[0062] Understandably, in this embodiment, the pressing part 330 and the clamping mechanism 500 should be arranged to avoid each other in the horizontal direction X of the support frame 100 to avoid structural interference.

[0063] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the contour groove 100a may be provided with a clearance notch a1 for accommodating the pressing mechanism 500, which can optimize the arrangement of the pressing mechanism 500 and avoid motion interference between the pressing mechanism 500 and the pressing mechanism 300.

[0064] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 1 The sealing strip installation fixture 10 may further include multiple first adsorption elements 600, which are spaced apart along the extension direction on the contour groove 100a. The first adsorption elements 600 are used to adsorb the sealing strip 20, thus improving the positioning effect of the sealing strip 20 during installation. Understandably, in this embodiment, the first adsorption elements 600 can be simultaneously installed with the aforementioned pressing mechanism 300. The first adsorption elements 600 can play a positioning role during the installation of the sealing strip 20, and after positioning, a stable pressing effect is achieved through the pressing mechanism 300, improving the ease, accuracy, and stability of the sealing strip 20 installation.

[0065] Optionally, the aforementioned first adsorption element 600 may be implemented as a suction cup or adsorption hole, etc. Correspondingly, a vacuum generating device for generating adsorption force, such as a vacuum pump or negative pressure pump, may be provided on the support frame 100.

[0066] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism 200 may include an adsorption component 210 and a positioning component 220. The adsorption component 210 is used to support and adsorb the glass component 30 along the height direction H of the support frame 100, and can transfer the glass component 30 to the positioning component 220. The positioning component 220 is used to adjust the glass component 30 relative to the support frame 100 to a preset position along the horizontal direction X of the support frame 100. The preset position is configured such that the edge of the glass component 30 overlaps at least partially with the sealing strip 20 installed on the contour groove 100a in the height direction H. This ensures that the edge of the glass component 30 can be accurately aligned with the sealing strip 20, so that the sealing strip 20 can be evenly covered on the edge of the glass component 30.

[0067] Optionally, the adsorption assembly 210 may include a plurality of second adsorption elements 211.

[0068] Furthermore, the aforementioned second adsorption element 211 may, but is not limited to, be implemented as a suction cup structure.

[0069] Understandably, multiple second adsorption elements 211 can be arranged inside the annular structure enclosed by the support frame 100, which ensures that the suction cup structure can abut against and support the surface of the glass assembly 30 near the center, thereby improving the support stability of the adsorption element 210 on the glass assembly 30.

[0070] In addition, the adsorption component 210 also adsorbs the glass component 30, thus preventing the glass component 30 from shifting or even falling off in the horizontal direction X, improving safety during operation. It is worth noting that the adsorption component 210 can also be used to transfer the glass component 30 onto the positioning component 220 for alignment and calibration between the glass component 30 and the sealing strip 20.

[0071] For example, the adsorption component 210 can be configured to move along the height direction H of the support frame 100. In this way, when placing the glass component 30, the adsorption component 210 can first move to a position higher than the positioning component 220, and then place the glass component 30 on the adsorption component 210. After receiving the glass component 30, the adsorption component 210 can descend along the height direction H, causing the glass component 30 to abut against the support structure 221 of the positioning component 220. Simultaneously, the adsorption component 210 continues to descend along the height direction H and detaches from the glass component 30, thereby transferring the glass component 30 from the adsorption component 210 to the support structure 221 of the positioning component 220. This facilitates the positioning member 222 of the positioning component 220 to perform the next alignment and calibration operation of the glass component 30 relative to the sealing strip 20.

[0072] Understandably, after the positioning component 220 completes the alignment and calibration operation between itself and the sealing strip 20, the adsorption component 210 can rise along the height direction H and re-abut and adsorb the glass component 30. At the same time, the positioning component 220 retracts relative to the glass component 30, so that the adsorption component 210 can continue to drive the glass component 30 to descend, abut and adhere to the sealing strip 20. The operation process is simple and reliable.

[0073] Please combine Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the positioning component 220 may include a support structure 221 and a positioning member 222. The support structure 221 supports the glass component 30 transferred from the adsorption component 210, and the positioning member 222 adjusts the relative position of the glass component 30 on the support structure 221 to a preset position. It should be noted that this preset position is the corresponding position where the edge of the aforementioned glass component 30 overlaps at least partially with the sealing strip 20 mounted on the contour groove 100a in the height direction H.

[0074] Optionally, the support structure 221 may be implemented as a support column, but is not limited to.

[0075] Preferably, please refer to Figure 6 The support structure 221 is provided with a sliding member 2211 for abutting the end of the glass assembly 30. The sliding member 2211 is used to reduce the friction between the surface of the glass assembly 30 and the end of the support structure 221, thereby improving the structural protection of the glass assembly 30.

[0076] Optionally, the slider 2211 may be implemented as a ball or roller, etc.

[0077] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the positioning member 222 may include a first positioning clamp 2221 and a second positioning clamp 2222. The first positioning clamp 2221 is used to adjust the relative position of the glass assembly 30 on the support structure 221 along the length direction X1 of the glass assembly 30, and the second positioning clamp 2222 is used to adjust the relative position of the glass assembly 30 on the support structure 221 along the width direction X2 of the glass assembly 30. In this way, the positioning operation of the glass assembly 30 can be completed by the first positioning clamp 2221 and the second positioning clamp 2222 respectively in the length direction X1 and the width direction X2. The operation process is simple and quick.

[0078] Optionally, the first positioning clamp 2221 may include, but is not limited to, a first limiting block 2221a and a second limiting block 2221b movably disposed along the length direction X1. The first limiting block 2221a and the second limiting block 2221b are respectively used to abut against the two sides of the glass assembly 30 along the length direction X1, pushing and clamping the glass assembly 30 to achieve adjustment in the length direction X1. The second positioning clamp 2222 may include, but is not limited to, a third limiting block 2222a and a fourth limiting block 2222b movably disposed along the width direction X2. The third limiting block 2222a and the fourth limiting block 2222b are respectively used to abut against the two sides of the glass assembly 30 along the width direction X2, pushing and clamping the glass assembly 30 to achieve adjustment in the width direction X2.

[0079] Of course, in some embodiments, multiple sets of the aforementioned first positioning fixture 2221 can be provided. Similarly, multiple sets of the second positioning fixture 2222 can also be provided, such as... Figure 7 The first positioning clamp 2221 and the second positioning clamp 2222 shown are each provided in two sets. This helps to increase the contact points with the edge of the glass assembly 30, thereby improving the stability of clamping and adjusting the glass assembly 30.

[0080] Preferably, the aforementioned first limiting block 2221a, second limiting block 2221b, third limiting block 2222a, and fourth limiting block 2222b can be configured as rollers that can rotate relative to the edge of the glass assembly 30. This reduces the risk of damage to the edge of the glass assembly 30 by the first limiting block 2221a, second limiting block 2221b, third limiting block 2222a, and fourth limiting block 2222b during the movement of the glass assembly 30 in the length direction X1 and width direction X2, thereby improving the structural protection of the glass assembly 30.

[0081] Please refer to the previous document. Figure 6 In some embodiments, multiple limiting members 700 may be arranged circumferentially on each of the second adsorption members 211. The limiting members 700 are used to limit the glass assembly 30 when it is pressed by the pressing mechanism 300, so as to prevent the glass assembly 30 from warping, shaking or even falling off, thus improving the safety of the operation.

[0082] Optionally, the aforementioned limiting member 700 may be implemented as a column, etc.

[0083] Optionally, the aforementioned adsorption component 210 may also include multiple connecting plates 212, which are used to connect multiple structures of the adsorption component 210, thereby achieving structural integration. This allows the entire structure to be operated when the adsorption component 210 is raised or lowered, thus improving the stability of the glass component 30 during the transfer process.

[0084] Please continue reading. Figure 6 In some embodiments, the adsorption assembly 210 may further include a second driving assembly 213, which drives the second adsorption member 211 and the limiting member 700 to move along the height direction H of the support frame 100. Optionally, the aforementioned second driving assembly 213 may be, but is not limited to, a combination of a power source, a slider, and a slide rail. Optionally, the power source may be, but is not limited to, a cylinder or a motor, etc.

[0085] Please refer to the previous document. Figure 1In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism 200 may further include a sensing mechanism 800. The sensing mechanism 800 is disposed within the support frame 100 and is used to monitor the height of the glass assembly 30 in the height direction H of the support frame 100 when the adsorption assembly 210 transfers the glass assembly 30. This can improve the positioning accuracy of the glass assembly 30 when it abuts against the sealing strip 20 in the height direction H.

[0086] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the sealing strip installation fixture 10 may include an installation platform 900, on which the support frame 100, the transfer mechanism 200 and the pressing mechanism 300 are all disposed, ensuring the structural integrity and installation stability of the support frame 100, the transfer mechanism 200 and the pressing mechanism 300.
