Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of skylight transplanting system technology, and particularly to a skylight transplanting system. Background Technology

[0002] A car sunroof is a large panoramic roof sunroof, typically featuring an integrated tempered glass panel design that covers more than 60% of the roof area. Its core function is to maximize the natural lighting area inside the car and optimize air circulation efficiency. At the same time, its sleek exterior lines enhance the vehicle's sense of style and technological attributes, making it one of the hallmark features of mid-to-high-end passenger vehicles.

[0003] In the field of automated assembly of automotive sunroofs, existing technologies involve an operator pushing a transport trolley loaded with the sunroof into a trolley fixing position under a transplanter, where a trolley positioning device secures the transport trolley. The control module then drives the transplanter's transplanting mechanism to grab the sunroof from the transport trolley and transfer it to a preparation platform. Subsequently, a mounting machine grabs the sunroof from the preparation platform and mounts it onto the vehicle to be assembled. However, this method lacks a dedicated centering and positioning device after the sunroof is transferred to the preparation platform by the transplanter. The sunroof's placement on the preparation platform is prone to misalignment, making it impossible to guarantee a precise reference position. Furthermore, when the mounting machine docks with the preparation platform to pick up the sunroof, it relies solely on its own coarse positioning structure, making precise alignment with the sunroof difficult. This leads to positional deviations when the mounting machine grabs the sunroof, affecting transplanting efficiency and potentially causing damage to the sunroof. This, in turn, reduces the subsequent assembly accuracy of the sunroof and the vehicle, increasing rework costs and quality risks.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new sunroof transplanting system to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to propose a skylight transplanting system, which aims to improve the technical problems of low efficiency and poor assembly accuracy in the transplanting of floating island skylights in the prior art.

Both second pushing components are mounted on the second frame, and the two second pushing components are respectively disposed on both sides of the second frame. The protruding ends of the second pushing components are used to abut against the sides of the floating island skylight.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first pushing component includes a first cylinder and a push rod. The front end of the second frame has a second slide rail extending along the length direction of the second frame. The push rod is slidably mounted on the second slide rail. The first cylinder is mounted on the second frame. The extension shaft of the first cylinder is connected to the push rod. The push rod is used to abut against the front end of the floating island skylight. The first cylinder is signal-connected to the controller.

[0014] In one embodiment, the second pushing component includes a plurality of pushing sub-components spaced apart along the length of the second frame. Each pushing sub-component includes a second cylinder, a connecting block, and an elastic roller. The second cylinder is mounted on the second frame. The connecting block is connected to the extension shaft of the second cylinder. The connecting block forms two spaced-apart first connecting plates. The two ends of the elastic roller are rotatably mounted on the two first connecting plates, and the elastic roller extends out of the first connecting plates. The elastic roller is used to abut against the side of the floating island skylight.

[0015] In one embodiment, each positioning component includes an extension cylinder, a mounting bracket, and a connecting portion. The cylinder body of the extension cylinder is mounted on the mounting bracket, and the connecting portion is connected to the extension shaft of the extension cylinder. The connecting portion is slidably connected to the mounting bracket, and the connecting portion is rotatably provided with a cam bearing. Two mounting brackets are respectively mounted on the positioning bracket and the connecting bracket. The cam bearing of the positioning component mounted on the connecting bracket is used to engage with the positioning bracket, and the cam bearing of the positioning component mounted on the positioning bracket is used to engage with the sunroof transplanting line.

[0016] In one embodiment, the sunroof transplanting line includes a first positioning member, which has a first engaging groove and a first opening groove that are interconnected. The positioning frame is provided with a crossbar perpendicular to the moving direction of the mounting unit.

[0017] In the above scheme, the sunroof transplanting system includes a sunroof transplanting line, a transplanting unit, a centering unit, a mounting unit, and a controller. The transplanting unit includes a first frame, a vision component, and an adsorption device. The adsorption device is slidably arranged along the track of the first frame and is telescopically and rotatably arranged. The adsorption device is used to adsorb the floating island sunroof. The vision component is used to detect the placement position of the floating island sunroof.

The mounting unit includes a positioning device and a mounting machine. The positioning device includes a positioning frame, a connecting frame, and two positioning components. The two positioning components are respectively set on the positioning frame and the connecting frame. Both the positioning frame and the connecting frame are slidably installed on the sunroof transplanting line. The positioning component set on the connecting frame is used to engage with the positioning frame, and the positioning component set on the positioning frame is used to engage with the sunroof transplanting line. The controller is signal-connected to the transplanting unit, the centering unit, and the mounting unit. Specifically, the controller coordinates the actions of each unit. When the transport trolley carrying the floating island skylight enters the first frame working area of ​​the transplanting unit, the vision component immediately detects the skylight's placement position and transmits the data to the controller. The controller drives the adsorption device to slide along the first frame track above the skylight. After adjusting its posture through extension, retraction, and rotation, it precisely adsorbs the skylight. Subsequently, the skylight is transferred to the centering unit. After receiving the skylight, the centering unit moves it to a preset reference position to complete precise centering. The connecting frame slides along the skylight transplanting line. When it slides to the positioning frame, the positioning component on the connecting frame engages with the positioning frame. Then, the connecting frame and the positioning frame move synchronously. When it moves to the centering unit, the positioning frame engages with the skylight transplanting line and connects with the connecting frame. The mounting machine can accurately pick up the sunroof from the centering unit, then the positioning frame is disconnected from the sunroof transfer line. The positioning frame and connecting frame move to the vehicle, and the sunroof is installed on the vehicle, thus completing the entire operation process. Then, the above steps are repeated. This invention achieves precise grasping and posture adaptation of the floating island sunroof through visual inspection and a flexibly adjustable adsorption device, completing the transfer and positioning without manual intervention. The centering unit ensures that the sunroof is in a uniform reference position, providing a precise foundation for subsequent assembly. The dual positioning components of the mounting unit achieve high-precision docking between the mounting machine and the transfer line, effectively avoiding the risk of sunroof offset and collision damage, and greatly improving the efficiency and assembly accuracy of sunroof transfer and assembly.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0024] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their 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 those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0025] To achieve the above objectives, please refer to Figures 1 to 16This invention proposes a skylight transplanting system 100, including a skylight transplanting line 1, a transplanting unit 2, a centering unit 3, a mounting unit 4, and a controller. The transplanting unit 2 includes a first frame 21, a vision component 22, and an adsorption device 23. The adsorption device 23 is slidably disposed along the track of the first frame 21 and is retractable and rotatable. The adsorption device 23 is used to adsorb floating island skylights. The vision component 22 is used to detect the placement position of the floating island skylights. The centering unit 3 is used to receive the floating island skylights adsorbed by the transplanting unit 2 and to move the floating island skylights to a preset reference position. The mounting unit 4... Unit 4 includes a positioning device 41 and a mounting unit 42. The positioning device 41 includes a positioning frame 411, a connecting frame 412, and two positioning components 413. The two positioning components 413 are respectively disposed on the positioning frame 411 and the connecting frame 412. The positioning frame 411 and the connecting frame 412 are slidably installed on the sunroof transplanting line 1. The positioning component 413 disposed on the connecting frame 412 is used to engage with the positioning frame 411. The positioning component 413 disposed on the positioning frame 411 is used to engage with the sunroof transplanting line 1. The controller is connected to the transplanting unit 2, the centering unit 3, and the mounting unit 4 by signals. Specifically, the controller coordinates the actions of each unit. When the transport trolley carrying the floating island skylight enters the working area of ​​the first frame 21 of the transplanting unit 2, the vision component 22 immediately detects the placement position of the skylight and transmits the data to the controller. The controller drives the adsorption device 23 to slide along the track of the first frame 21 above the skylight. After adjusting its posture through extension, retraction, and rotation, it accurately adsorbs the skylight and then moves it to the centering unit 3. After receiving the skylight, the centering unit 3 moves it to a preset reference position to complete precise centering. The connecting frame 412 slides along the skylight transplanting line 1. When it slides to the positioning frame 411, the positioning component 413 on the connecting frame 412 engages with the positioning frame 411. Then, the connecting frame 412 and the positioning frame 411 move synchronously. When they move to the centering unit 3, the positioning component 413 of the positioning frame 411 engages with the skylight transplanting line 1. The mounting machine 42, connected to the connecting frame 412, can accurately remove the sunroof from the centering unit 3. Then, the positioning component 413 of the positioning frame 411 is disconnected from the sunroof transfer line 1. The positioning frame 411 and the connecting frame 412 move to the vehicle and install the sunroof on the vehicle, thus completing the entire operation process. Then, the above steps are repeated. In this embodiment, through visual inspection and a flexibly adjustable adsorption device 23, the accurate grasping and posture adaptation of the floating island sunroof are achieved, and the transfer and positioning can be completed without manual intervention. The centering unit 3 ensures that the sunroof is in a uniform reference position, providing a precise foundation for subsequent assembly. The dual positioning component 413 of the mounting unit 4 achieves high-precision docking between the mounting machine 42 and the transfer line, effectively avoiding the risk of sunroof offset and collision damage, and greatly improving the efficiency and assembly accuracy of sunroof transfer and assembly.

[0026] Please see Figures 2 to 4In one embodiment, the adsorption device 23 includes a lifting mechanism 231, a base 232, and a rotating component 233. The lifting mechanism 231 is slidably mounted on the track of the first frame 21 via an electric trolley 27. The extended end of the lifting mechanism 231 is connected to the rotating component 233, and the rotating end of the rotating component 233 is connected to the base 232. A suction cup 232a is provided on the base 232, and the suction cup 232a is used to adsorb the floating island skylight. When the transport trolley carrying the floating skylight enters the working area of ​​the first frame 21 of the transplanting unit 2, the vision component 22 immediately detects the placement position of the skylight and transmits the data to the controller. The controller drives the electric trolley 27 to move the lifting mechanism 231 along the track of the first frame 21 to the corresponding position above the skylight. The extended end of the lifting mechanism 231 drives the rotating component 233 and the base 232 to descend synchronously. The rotating component 233 precisely adjusts the rotation angle of the base 232 according to the vision detection data, so that the suction cup 232a on the base 232 perfectly matches the posture of the skylight. Then, the suction cup 232a starts the suction action to complete the skylight removal process. The sunroof is fixed in place; after the lifting mechanism 231 rises and resets, the electric trolley 27 moves the sunroof to the centering unit 3. The centering unit 3 receives the sunroof and moves it to a preset reference position to complete precise centering. The connecting frame 412 of the carrying unit 4 slides along the sunroof transplanting line 1 to the positioning frame 411. After the positioning component 413 engages with the positioning frame 411, it moves synchronously above the centering unit 3. The positioning frame 411 then engages with the sunroof transplanting line 1 through the positioning component 413 to achieve precise positioning. The carrying machine 42 successfully picks up the centered sunroof and installs it on the vehicle. After completing one round of work, each unit resets to prepare for the next cycle. Through the coordinated operation of the electric trolley 27, the lifting mechanism 231, and the rotating component 233, the adsorption device 23 achieves a large-scale coverage and flexible multi-posture adjustment in space. With the precise guidance of the vision component 22, the efficient grasping and posture correction of the sunroof can be completed without manual intervention, greatly improving the automation level and positioning accuracy of the transplanting operation.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8In one embodiment, the rotating component 233 includes a base plate 233a, a drive cylinder 233b, a rack 233c, and a rotating gear 233d. A first slide rail 233e is formed on the base plate 233a. The rack 233c is slidably connected to the first slide rail 233e. The extending direction of the rack 233c is the same as the extending direction of the first slide rail 233e. The drive cylinder 233b is mounted on the base plate 233a. The extension shaft of the drive cylinder 233b is connected to the rack 233c. The extension end of the lifting mechanism 231 is connected to the side of the base plate 233a away from the first slide rail 233e. One end of the rotating gear 233d is connected to the base 232. The other end of the rotating gear 233d is rotatably connected to the base plate 233a. The rack 233c meshes with the rotating gear 233d. If the vision component 22 does not detect an angle deviation in the sunroof, the controller drives the extension shaft of the drive cylinder 233b to extend and push the rack 233c to slide along the slide rail of the base plate 233a. The meshing transmission between the rack 233c and the rotating gear 233d drives the base 232 to rotate 90°. If an angle deviation in the sunroof is detected, the controller controls the drive cylinder 233b to start, and the extension shaft of the drive cylinder 233b extends and pushes the rack 233c to slide along the slide rail of the base plate 233a. The meshing transmission between the rack 233c and the rotating gear 233d drives the base 232 to rotate. This achieves precise correction of the skylight's posture. After correction, the lifting mechanism 231 raises the skylight, and then the controller drives the extension shaft of the drive cylinder 233b to continue extending and push the rack 233c to slide along the slide rail of the base plate 233a until the base 232 rotates to 90° of its original state. Through the coordinated operation of visual inspection and automated control, the positioning, grasping and posture correction of the skylight can be completed without manual intervention. This not only greatly improves the efficiency of transplanting operations, but also avoids the damage to the skylight caused by positioning deviations in manual operation or traditional equipment, ensuring precise matching between the skylight and the transplanting unit 2.

[0028] Please see Figure 4 Furthermore, the vision component 22 includes a second connecting plate 221, a vision camera 222, and a light source 223. The second connecting plate 221 is mounted on the base 232, and the vision camera 222 and the light source 223 are spaced apart on the second connecting plate 221. The vision component 22 integrates the vision camera 222 and the light source 223 on the base 232 via the second connecting plate 221. The spaced light sources 223 can specifically supplement the insufficient light in the complex lighting environment of the workshop, effectively eliminating the interference of factors such as local shadows and direct strong light on visual inspection, ensuring that the vision camera 222 accurately captures the edge contour and placement posture of the floating island skylight, providing high-precision data support for subsequent posture correction, and further reducing the damage caused by the skylight due to positioning deviation.

[0029] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6In one embodiment, the transplanting unit 2 further includes a positioning detection component 24, which includes a connecting seat 241 and a first photoelectric switch 242 mounted on the connecting seat 241. The connecting seat 241 is mounted on the base 232, and the first photoelectric switch 242 is used to detect the height of the base 232. When the controller drives the lifting mechanism 231 to lower the base 232, the first photoelectric switch 242 mounted on the side of the base 232 is activated synchronously, and the detection end emits a detection beam toward the preset height reference mark on the side of the frame. As the base 232 gradually approaches the floating island skylight, when the first photoelectric switch 242 detects the reference mark corresponding to the preset adsorption height, it immediately sends a positioning signal to the controller. The controller then controls the lifting mechanism 231 to decelerate and stop precisely, so that the suction cup 232a adsorbs the skylight with appropriate pressure. After adsorption is completed, the lifting mechanism 231 drives the base 232 to rise, and the first photoelectric switch 242 continues to monitor. When it detects the reference mark corresponding to the transplanting operation height, it sends a signal again, and the controller drives the electric trolley 27 to move the skylight toward the target work position. The first photoelectric switch 242 of the positioning detection component 24 is fixed to the side of the base 232 via the connecting seat 241. The detection end adopts the principle of lateral beam emission and reception, using the photoelectric effect to sense the relative position of the base 232 and the reference mark on the side of the track, converting the height change into an electrical signal and transmitting it to the controller to achieve accurate determination of the height of the base 232. Precise height monitoring ensures that the suction cup 232a adsorbs the skylight with optimal pressure, avoiding damage to the skylight due to excessive pressure or detachment due to insufficient pressure.

[0030] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 231 includes an electric cylinder.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5In one embodiment, the transplanting unit 2 further includes an overpressure detection component 25, which includes a second photoelectric switch 251 and a connecting rod 252. A suction cup 232a is telescopically disposed on the connecting rod 252, and the connecting rod 252 is disposed on the base 232. The suction cup 232a has a blocking block 233f. The second photoelectric switch 251 is installed on the connecting rod 252 and is used to detect the distance to the blocking block 233f. When the suction cup 232a contacts the skylight and initiates the suction action, if the suction pressure exceeds the preset safety value, the suction cup 232a will retract upward along the connecting rod 252, simultaneously driving the blocking block 233f at its end to move towards the second photoelectric switch 251. The second photoelectric switch 251, installed on the connecting rod 252, detects the distance to the blocking block 233f in real time. When the detected distance is less than the preset threshold, it immediately sends an overpressure signal to the controller. The controller then controls the lifting mechanism 231 to fine-tune the upward movement to reduce the suction pressure until the detected distance returns to the normal range. This overpressure detection component 25, through the mechanical structure of the suction cup 232a extending and retracting in conjunction with the blocking block 233f, combined with the non-contact distance detection of the second photoelectric switch 251, not only achieves real-time dynamic monitoring of the suction pressure, effectively preventing deformation and damage to the floating island skylight due to excessive pressure, but also prevents the suction cup 232a from aging and wearing down due to excessive compression, thus extending the service life of the component.

[0032] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 7 Furthermore, the transplanting unit 2 also includes an anti-detachment component 26, which is rotatably mounted on the base 232. The anti-detachment component 26 includes an anti-detachment hook 261, which is rotatable to drive the anti-detachment hook 261 to be positioned below the floating island skylight adsorbed by the suction cup 232a. The anti-detachment component 26, through its rotatable installation on the base 232, can quickly rotate after the suction cup 232a completes the adsorption action of the floating island skylight, placing the anti-detachment hook 261 under the skylight to form a bottom protection. This effectively avoids the risk of the skylight falling due to extreme situations such as insufficient air pressure of the suction cup 232a, seal failure, or sudden power failure, preventing workpiece damage and on-site safety accidents. It also has excellent operational compatibility, deploying protection only during the transplanting and moving phase. It can be quickly rotated away when the skylight is picked up or put down, without interfering with the normal adsorption and release action of the suction cup 232a, and without affecting the efficiency of the original work process. At the same time, by adjusting the rotation angle, it can be adapted to floating island skylights of different sizes without the need to replace parts for specific workpieces, greatly improving the equipment's versatility. Moreover, the rotating mechanism has low wear and maintenance costs. Combined with the physical limit of the rigid anti-detachment hook 261, it can effectively suppress the shaking of the skylight caused by vehicle start-stop and bumps, further enhancing the stability and safety of transplanting operations, and providing a solid guarantee for long-distance, high-precision transplanting of floating island skylights.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 7Furthermore, the anti-detachment component 26 also includes a double-headed cylinder 262, a fixing pin 263, a first connector 264, a second connector 265, and a third connector 266. The third connector 266 is mounted on the base 232. One end of the second connector 265 is rotatably mounted on the third connector 266. The anti-detachment hook 261 is connected to the other end of the second connector 265. The second connector 265 has a sliding groove extending along the length direction of the second connector 265. One end of the fixing pin 263 is slidably mounted in the sliding groove. The other end of the fixing pin 263 is connected to the first connector 264. The two protruding ends of the double-headed cylinder 262 are rotatably connected to the base 232 and the first connector 264, respectively. After the suction cup 232a completes the suction action of the floating island skylight, the double-headed cylinder 262 is activated. Its extended end, which is connected to the first connecting piece 264, pushes the first connecting piece 264 to move horizontally, causing the fixing pin 263 to slide along the length-direction groove opened on the second connecting piece 265. At the same time, it pulls the second connecting piece 265 to rotate downward around the rotation connection point between the third connecting piece 266 and the base 232, so that the anti-detachment hook 261 connected to the end of the second connecting piece 265 rotates precisely to the bottom of the skylight to form a bottom protection. After the transplanting operation is completed and before the suction cup 232a is ready to release the skylight, the double-headed cylinder 262 retracts in the opposite direction. Through the first connecting piece 264 and the fixing pin 263, it drives the second connecting piece 265 to rotate in the opposite direction. The anti-detachment hook 261 retracts upward and leaves the skylight area without interfering with the normal release action of the suction cup 232a. This structure, through the bidirectional drive of the dual-headed cylinder 262 and the linkage between the slide and the fixing pin 263, can precisely control the rotation angle and bottoming position of the anti-disengagement hook 261 to ensure adequate protection, and can also buffer the fluctuation of cylinder thrust to avoid mechanical impact damage to components.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 9In one embodiment, the centering unit 3 includes a base 31, a second frame 32, a first pushing component 33, and two second pushing components 34. The second frame 32 is slidably mounted on the base 31 and is used to place the floating island skylight. A limiting block 321 is formed at the rear end of the second frame 32. The first pushing component 33 is slidably mounted on the front end of the second frame 32 along the length direction of the second frame 32. The first pushing component 33 is used to abut against the front end of the floating island skylight, and the limiting block 321 is used to abut against the rear end of the floating island skylight. The two second pushing components 34 are both mounted on the second frame 32, and the two second pushing components 34 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second frame 32. The protruding ends of the second pushing components 34 are used to abut against the sides of the floating island skylight. The controller drives the first pushing component 33 to slide along the second frame 32 towards the rear end of the second frame 32, abutting against the front end of the floating island skylight and pushing the skylight backward until the rear end of the skylight abuts against the limiting block 321 at the rear end of the second frame 32, completing the front-rear alignment of the floating island skylight. Immediately afterwards, the controller continues to drive the two second pushing components 34 on both sides of the second frame 32 to extend synchronously, their extended ends abutting against the two sides of the floating island skylight and pushing the skylight towards the center of the second frame 32, achieving left-right alignment of the floating island skylight. Then, the rodless cylinder 311 is activated. The sliding block of 311 moves, driving the second frame 32 and the floating island skylight to the designated work position for subsequent installation of the floating island skylight. In this embodiment, the cooperation between the first pushing component 33 and the limiting block 321 can accurately ensure the front-to-back alignment accuracy of the floating island skylight. The synchronous action of the second pushing components 34 on both sides can quickly complete the left-to-right alignment. The overall structure is compact, and the coordinated cooperation of each component realizes the automated and accurate alignment of the floating island skylight, effectively avoiding the problems of large errors and low efficiency of manual alignment, and providing a reliable positioning basis for subsequent transplanting operations.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10In one embodiment, the first pushing component 33 includes a first cylinder 331 and a push rod 332. The front end of the second frame 32 is formed with a second slide rail 322 extending along the length direction of the second frame 32. The push rod 332 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 322. The first cylinder 331 is mounted on the second frame 32. The extension shaft of the first cylinder 331 is connected to the push rod 332. The push rod 332 is used to abut against the front end of the floating island skylight. The first cylinder 331 is signal-connected to the controller. The controller drives the first cylinder 331, mounted on the frame, to retract its extension shaft, pulling the push rod 332, which is slidably mounted on the slide rail, to move along the length of the frame towards the rear end of the second frame 32. The push rod 332 abuts against the front end of the floating island skylight and pushes the skylight backward synchronously until the rear end of the skylight abuts against the limiting block 321 at the rear end of the second frame 32, completing the front-rear alignment of the floating island skylight. Subsequently, the controller continues to drive the two second pushing components 34 on both sides of the second frame 32 to extend synchronously, abut against the sides of the floating island skylight, and push the skylight towards the center of the second frame 32, achieving left-right alignment. By driving the push rod 332 with the first cylinder 331, a stable and precisely controllable thrust can be provided, ensuring that the push rod 332 slides smoothly along the slide rail, effectively improving the front-rear alignment accuracy of the floating island skylight. The cylinder drive has a fast response speed, which can significantly shorten the alignment operation time and improve production efficiency. The overall structure is simple and compact, and the components are stably and reliably matched, reducing the risk of failure during the alignment process.

[0036] Please see Figures 9 to 11In one embodiment, the second pushing component 34 includes a plurality of pushing sub-components 341 spaced apart along the length of the second frame 32. Each pushing sub-component 341 includes a second cylinder 341a, a connecting block 341b, and an elastic roller 341c. The second cylinder 341a is mounted on the second frame 32. The connecting block 341b is connected to the extension shaft of the second cylinder 341a. The connecting block 341b forms two spaced first connecting plates 341d. The two ends of the elastic roller 341c are rotatably mounted on the two first connecting plates 341d respectively. The elastic roller 341c extends out of the first connecting plate 341d and is used to abut against the side of the floating island skylight. The controller drives the extension shaft of the second cylinder 341a to move, causing the connecting block 341b to move towards the side of the sunroof. The two spaced first connecting plates 341d on the connecting block 341b simultaneously drive the elastic roller 341c to approach until the elastic roller 341c abuts against the side of the floating island sunroof. As the second cylinder 341a continues to advance, the elastic roller 341c adapts to the movement of the sunroof by rotating, and at the same time relies on its own elastic deformation to conform to the side contour, pushing the sunroof to the centering reference position. After centering is completed, the extension shaft of the second cylinder 341a retracts, causing the connecting block 341b and the elastic roller 341c to reset. The 341c elastic roller uses a rolling contact method to abut against the side of the sunroof, which greatly reduces the frictional resistance between the two. This avoids scratches on the side of the sunroof caused by hard contact, and also reduces the wear of the roller itself, extending the service life of the component. The elastic material can form an effective buffer during the pushing process, offsetting the instantaneous impact force and preventing the side of the sunroof from deforming due to concentrated force. At the same time, it can adapt to the slight unevenness of the side, ensuring a tight fit and improving the centering accuracy.

[0037] Please see Figures 9 to 11 Furthermore, the pusher component 341 also includes a proximity switch 341e, which is mounted on the second cylinder 341a. The proximity switch 341e is used to detect the movement distance of the push rod 332 and is connected to the controller signal. The proximity switch 341e mounted on the second cylinder 341a can detect the movement distance of the push rod 332 in real time. When the proximity switch 341e detects that the distance of the push rod 332 reaches the front-to-back alignment standard, the controller stops driving the first cylinder 331 and drives the second cylinder 341a to start. This coordinated operation ensures smoother operation.

[0038] Please see Figure 9Furthermore, the second frame 32 is provided with a plurality of sliding components 323, which are arranged in a rectangular shape. Each sliding component 323 includes a connecting post 323a and a rubber-coated roller 323b rotatably mounted on the connecting post 323a. The connecting post 323a is mounted on the second frame 32, and the rubber-coated roller 323b is used to make rolling contact with the bottom of the floating island skylight. Multiple rectangularly arranged sliding components 323 provide uniform and stable bottom support for the floating island skylight, adapting to the rectangular structure of the skylight and preventing deformation caused by excessive local stress. The rubber-coated roller 323b makes rolling contact with the bottom of the skylight, converting sliding friction into rolling friction, which greatly reduces the resistance of the skylight during centering movement, making centering operations in the front-back and left-right directions smoother and less strenuous. At the same time, the rubber coating material can effectively buffer the contact impact force, preventing hard contact from scratching the bottom surface of the skylight, and also enhance the anti-slip properties during contact, preventing the skylight from shifting during movement. The overall structure not only ensures the stability of the skylight support, but also improves the smoothness of the centering process, effectively protecting the appearance and structural integrity of the skylight, while reducing component wear and extending the service life of the device.

[0039] Please see Figure 9 Furthermore, the centering unit 3 also includes an incoming material detection component 35, which is installed in the middle of the second frame 32. The incoming material detection component 35 is used to detect whether there is a floating island window on the rubber-coated roller 323b. The incoming material detection component 35 consists of two photoelectric through-beam switches 351 installed in the middle of the second frame 32. The two photoelectric through-beam switches 351 serve as the transmitter and receiver, respectively. The transmitter continuously emits infrared light signals to the receiver. When the floating island window is placed on the rubber-coated roller 323b, it will block the light path between the two. The receiver will determine that there is incoming material because it cannot receive a complete signal, and vice versa. Through this precise photoelectric detection principle, it is possible to quickly and accurately detect whether there is a floating island window on the rubber-coated roller 323b. Moreover, the dual-switch configuration expands the detection coverage and reduces the probability of misjudgment caused by the deviation of the window placement position. Meanwhile, the incoming material detection component 35 is linked by the controller signal, and only triggers the first cylinder 331 to start the centering action after confirming that the skylight is in place. This effectively avoids the first cylinder 331 running dry when there is no material, reduces ineffective energy consumption and component wear, and extends the service life of the device.

[0040] Please see Figures 12 to 14 Furthermore, the connecting frame 412 includes a lifting assembly 412a, a first connecting frame 412b, and a second connecting frame 412c. The second connecting frame 412c is used to connect with the mounting machine 42. The lifting assembly 412a is installed on the first connecting frame 412b, and the extended end of the lifting assembly 412a is connected to the second connecting frame 412c. A positioning assembly 413 is installed on the second connecting frame 412c. The first connecting frame 412b is slidably connected to the sunroof transplanting line 1 through a moving assembly.

[0041] Please see Figure 15 In one embodiment, each positioning component 413 includes an extension cylinder 413a, a mounting bracket 413b, and a connecting part 413c. The cylinder body of the extension cylinder 413a is mounted on the mounting bracket 413b. The connecting part 413c is connected to the extension shaft of the extension cylinder 413a and is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 413b. The connecting part 413c is rotatably provided with a cam bearing 413d. The two mounting brackets 413b are respectively mounted on the positioning bracket 411 and the connecting bracket 412. The cam bearing 413d of the positioning component 413 mounted on the connecting bracket 412 is used to engage with the positioning bracket 411. The cam bearing 413d of the positioning component 413 mounted on the positioning bracket 411 is used to engage with the sunroof transplanting line 1. The positioning component 413 uses the extension cylinder 413a as its power source. In conjunction with the sliding connection structure between the connecting part 413c and the mounting bracket 413b, it can precisely control the linear motion trajectory of the cam bearing 413d, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the snap-fit ​​action. The rotational design of the cam bearing 413d can effectively reduce frictional resistance when snapping into or out of the slot, reduce component wear, and extend the service life of the device. The two positioning components 413 are respectively adapted to the corresponding snap-fit ​​slots by the cylinder-driven cam bearings 413d, which can quickly complete the fixing and unlocking operations of the first connecting bracket 412b and the positioning bracket 411, and the positioning bracket 411 and the skylight transfer line 1, improving the response efficiency of positioning and separation, and adapting to the fast-paced operation requirements of automated production.

[0042] Please see Figure 15 Furthermore, the connecting part 413c includes a horizontal plate 413e and a vertical plate 413f that are connected to each other. The cam bearing 413d is rotatably disposed on the vertical plate 413f. The horizontal plate 413e is formed with a U-shaped groove. The extension shaft of the drive cylinder 233b is provided with a cylindrical block 233g. The outer periphery of the cylindrical block 233g is formed with an annular groove 233h. The cylindrical block 233g is engaged with the U-shaped groove through the annular groove 233h. The connecting part 413c adopts an L-shaped structure in which the horizontal plate 413e and the vertical plate 413f are connected to each other, providing a stable support carrier for the cam bearing 413d. This ensures that the cam bearing 413d maintains structural stability during rotation and engagement, and avoids wobbling and displacement due to uneven force. The U-shaped groove of the horizontal plate 413e and the cylindrical block 233g of the extension shaft of the drive cylinder 233b are engaged through the annular groove 233h. This not only achieves efficient transmission of driving power and accurately drives the cam bearing 413d to complete the engagement and unlocking actions, but also adopts a fastener-free engagement assembly, which greatly simplifies the installation and disassembly process and reduces later maintenance costs. At the same time, the engagement between the annular groove 233h and the U-shaped groove has a certain amount of play, which can effectively compensate for the installation error between the drive cylinder 233b and the connecting part 413c, avoid stress concentration and component wear caused by hard connection, and also buffer the vibration and impact during movement, extending the overall service life of the device.

[0043] Please see Figures 14 to 16 In one embodiment, the sunroof transplanting line 1 includes a first positioning member 11, which has a first engaging groove and a first opening groove that are interconnected. A crossbar 411a perpendicular to the moving direction of the mounting unit 4 is provided on the positioning frame 411. A second positioning member 411b is provided on the crossbar 411a. The second positioning member 411b has a second engaging groove 411c and a second opening groove 411d that are interconnected. A cam bearing 413d of the positioning assembly 413 mounted on the connecting frame is used to engage with the second engaging groove 411c. A cam bearing 413d of the positioning assembly 413 mounted on the positioning frame 411 is used to engage with the first engaging groove. When the extended cylinder 413a moves the cam bearing 413d close to the locking groove, even with slight positional deviations, the tapered inclined surface can guide the cam bearing 413d to smoothly slide into the locking groove, effectively improving the fault tolerance of the locking action, avoiding locking failure due to positioning errors, and ensuring the stability of automated positioning operations. During the unlocking process, the tapered structure can also guide the cam bearing 413d to smoothly disengage from the locking groove, reducing jamming and collision between components, reducing wear and tear, and extending the service life of the device. At the same time, the integrated design of the opening groove and the positioning plate eliminates the need for additional guiding components, simplifying the overall structural layout and reducing processing and installation costs.
