[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the top cover heating device 1 can move along the track of the vehicle production line, so that the top cover heating device 1 can move with the vehicle body on the sled, so that the top cover heating device 1 can continuously heat the vehicle body on the sled, which helps to improve the heating effect. Each heating structure of the heating component 13 can heat each sealing strip installation edge of the sunroof window respectively, which helps to improve the heating effect of each sealing strip installation edge of the sunroof window. The lifting component 12 can adjust the position of the heating component 13, so that the heating component 13 can heat each sealing strip installation edge of the sunroof window at a suitable position, which helps to improve the heating effect of each sealing strip installation edge of the sunroof window. In other words, by adopting the above-mentioned top cover heating device 1, each sealing strip installation edge of the sunroof window can be effectively heated during the production process of the vehicle, so that the temperature of each sealing strip installation edge of the sunroof window can meet the pasting requirements of the sunroof sealing strip, ensuring that the assembly quality of the sunroof sealing strip is stable and reliable.

[0029] As a specific example, the left heating structure, the right heating structure, the front heating structure and the rear heating structure respectively include one or more heating elements 132. In a specific implementation, the heating element 132 may be a heating lamp, such as an infrared lamp, and one or more long strip infrared lamps may be used to form a long strip heating structure, which can evenly heat the long strip sealing strip installation edge, thereby ensuring the heating effect on the sealing strip installation edge.

[0030] In some embodiments, the heating assembly 13 includes one or more angle adjustment mechanisms 133 for adjusting the heating angle of one or more heating elements 132.

The guide cylinder 125 can play a guiding role.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the heating assembly 13 includes a second frame, a plurality of heating elements 132, a plurality of angle adjustment mechanisms 133 and four temperature sensors 134. The second frame includes a square frame formed by four frame frames 131 fixedly connected and a connecting beam 135 fixedly connected in the square frame, and a second bracket 136 is fixedly connected to the connecting beam 135. One or more heating elements 132 arranged along the length direction of the frame 131 are installed on each frame 131 through one or more angle adjustment mechanisms 133, and the four temperature sensors 134 are respectively installed on the four frame frames 131 through sensor brackets.

[0036] In a specific implementation, the seat body 122 of the linear actuator is fixedly connected to the first bracket 113 by bolts, and the connecting plate 124 of the lifting assembly 12 is fixedly connected to the second bracket 136 by bolts.

[0037] As a preferred example, the top cover heating device 1 also includes a travel detection component, which includes a displacement sensor and a trigger for detection by the displacement sensor, and the displacement sensor and the trigger are respectively installed on the heating component 13 and the travel component 11.

With the above-mentioned technical solution, the roof heating device 1 can effectively heat the installation edges of each sealing strip of the sunroof window during the production process of the vehicle, so that the temperature of each sealing strip installation edge of the sunroof window can meet the pasting requirements of the sunroof sealing strip, ensuring that the assembly quality of the sunroof sealing strip is stable and reliable.

[0039] In some embodiments, the vehicle production line further includes a vehicle body arrival detection device 6 disposed at the heating station. With the above technical solution, the vehicle body arrival detection device 6 is used to detect whether the vehicle body 5 has arrived at the heating station, which helps to accurately control the operation of the visual device 4 and the top cover heating device 1.

[0041] In some embodiments, the vehicle production line further includes a heat insulation device 3 disposed outside the heating station. By adopting the above technical solution, the heat insulation device 3 can reduce the heat loss at the heating station, which helps to ensure the heating effect of the sealing strip installation edge. In a specific implementation, the heat insulation device 3 can be a heat insulation enclosure disposed outside the heating station.

[0042] Using the above-mentioned vehicle production line, in low temperature weather, especially when the ambient temperature at the vehicle production line is lower than 10°, when the vehicle body arrival detection device 6 detects that the vehicle body 5 moves to the heating station along with the sled, the visual device 4 is triggered to take a photo of the top cover of the vehicle body 5 and identify the vehicle model information. The control system of the vehicle production line controls the descending distance of the heating component 13 and the heating angle of the heating element 132 according to the vehicle model information, and uses the heating component 13 to heat the installation edges of each sealing strip of the sunroof window of the vehicle body 5 synchronously. When the temperature sensor 134 recognizes that the installation edges of each sealing strip are heated to more than 20°, the top cover heating device 1 stops working and returns to the initial position, entering the next working cycle and waiting. The sunroof sealing strip is assembled at the subsequent station of the heating station, which can ensure that the temperature of the installation edges of each sealing strip of the sunroof window meets the pasting requirements of the sunroof sealing strip, and ensure that the assembly quality of the sunroof sealing strip is stable and reliable.
