[0025] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0026] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 A cutting tool 10 for a vehicle roof according to an embodiment of the present application is described, wherein the cutting tool 10 includes a substrate 11, on which an installation area 111 is formed, and on which a support member 112 extending away from the substrate 11 is provided, wherein the support member 112 is detachably connected to the substrate 11 at one end facing the installation area 111, and a support surface 1121 suitable for supporting a vehicle roof is formed at one end of the support member 112 away from the installation area 111, wherein the support member 112 is constructed into a plurality of groups, and the plurality of groups of support members 112 can be selectively installed in the installation area 111 to support the vehicle roof corresponding thereto.

[0027] At present, after the molding process of the vehicle's roof is completed, the excess material at the corners and holes of the roof is cut off through the water cutting process. The water cutting tool has the same profile and structure as the back of the roof product, and plays a bearing role on the semi-finished roof. At present, vehicle roofs often have multiple configurations. The structure and profile of the middle area of ​​the roof with a sunroof and the roof without a sunroof are different, and the water cutting tool cannot be used universally. The existing ceiling water cutting tool has developed a set of water cutting tool for the sunroof ceiling and the non-sunroof ceiling respectively, which increases the development and production costs.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, specifically, the cutting tool 10 includes a substrate 11, which can be used to support or install multiple components on the cutting tool 10. An installation area 111 can be formed on the substrate 11, and the installation area 111 can be used to install a vehicle roof. When the vehicle roof is installed in the installation area 111, the cutting tool 10 fixes the vehicle roof and then cuts the vehicle roof. The cutting method can be water cutting. Through water cutting, multiple avoidance holes can be processed on the ceiling to avoid internal parts of the vehicle, such as vehicle windows, reading lights or armrests.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, further, a support member 112 extending away from the substrate 11 can be provided on the installation area 111, and one end of the support member 112 facing the installation area 111 can be detachably connected to the substrate 11, so as to facilitate the replacement of the support member 112, and a support surface 1121 is formed at one end of the support member 112 away from the installation area 111, and the support surface 1121 can be used to support the vehicle roof to ensure that the vehicle roof avoids direct contact with the substrate 11 and causes wear and tear. At the same time, the vehicle roof and the substrate 11 can be spaced apart to facilitate water cutting.

[0030] The support members 112 can be constructed into multiple groups, and the heights of the multiple groups of support members 112 are different, and the support surfaces 1121 of the multiple groups of support members 112 have different shapes. Since the structure and shape of the middle area of ​​the roof with a sunroof and the roof without a sunroof are different, the use of multiple groups of support members 112 can ensure that the support members 112 can be applied to multiple vehicle roofs of the same model, thereby improving the adaptability of the cutting tool 10. The support members 112 and the substrate 11 are detachably connected, ensuring that the same cutting tool 10 can be applied to multiple vehicle roofs without the need for additional tooling development, thereby greatly reducing the tooling development and production costs.

[0031] In short, the cutting tool 10 for vehicle roof of the present application has a base plate 11, on which is formed an installation area 111 for installing the vehicle roof, and on which are arranged a plurality of sets of support members 112, which are detachably connected to the base plate 11, to ensure that the support members 112 can be replaced when the cutting tool 10 cuts different roofs of the same vehicle model, so as to ensure that the support members 112 can effectively support the vehicle roof and ensure that the vehicle roof can be effectively cut. The use of a plurality of support members 112 detachably connected to the base plate 11 can improve the adaptability of the cutting tool 10, thereby reducing the number of cutting tools 10 developed and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0032] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a first connection portion 1122 is formed at one end of the support member 112 facing the installation area 111, and a second connection portion corresponding to the first connection portion 1122 is formed on the installation area 111, wherein the first connection portion 1122 and the second connection portion are detachably connected, and optionally, the shape of the first connection portion 1122 matches the shape of the second connection portion, and the first connection portion 1122 and the second connection portion are detachably connected by bolts and threads, or the first connection portion 1122 and the second connection portion are detachably connected by snapping or plugging. In a specific embodiment, the first connection portion 1122 is configured as a mounting protrusion extending toward the installation area 111, and the second connection portion is configured as a mounting groove recessed toward the inside of the substrate 11, and the mounting protrusion is accommodated in the mounting groove by plugging and matching the mounting protrusion with the mounting groove, and the outer surface of the mounting protrusion is stopped against the inner surface of the mounting groove to limit the movement of the mounting protrusion, so that the support member 112 is installed on the substrate 11.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the first connection part 1122 is constructed as a plurality of first connection parts 1122, and the plurality of first connection parts 1122 can be spaced apart at one end of the support member 112 facing the installation area 111, and the second connection part can be constructed as a plurality of first connection parts 1122 that are arranged one-to-one in correspondence with the plurality of first connection parts 1122. By providing a plurality of first connection parts 1122 and a plurality of second connection parts, the matching strength between the support member 112 and the substrate 11 can be improved, the support member 112 can be prevented from moving on the substrate 11, and the stability of the vehicle roof can be ensured to facilitate cutting.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a support portion 1123 is formed on the support surface 1121, and the support portion 1123 can be used to support the vehicle roof. The support portion 1123 can be extended in a direction away from the support surface 1121, and the support portion 1123 can play a positioning role to ensure that the vehicle roof slides relative to the support member 112, and ensure that the support member 112 can effectively support the vehicle roof, wherein the support portion 1123 can be configured as a plurality of support portions 1123, and the plurality of support portions 1123 can be spaced apart in the length direction of the support member 112. The positioning effect of the support member 112 can be improved by providing a plurality of support portions 1123. In a specific embodiment, the support portion 1123 can be configured as a positioning pin, and the positioning pin can be configured as two, and the two positioning pins can be located at an oblique angle position of the support surface 1121.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the same group of support members 112 can be composed of multiple support members 112, and the multiple support members 112 can be circumferentially arranged in the installation area 111, and each support member 112 is spaced apart from its two adjacent support members 112. By providing multiple support members 112, the vehicle roof can be limited, wherein the distance between each support member 112 and its two adjacent support members 112 is D, and the distance D can satisfy the following range: 150mm≤D≤250mm. Since the design spacing of the position of the vehicle ceiling indicator light needs to meet 500mm±50mm, therefore, by arranging two adjacent support members 112 in the above range, it can be avoided that the support member 112 affects the cutting of the indicator light position.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the length of each support member 112 is L, and the length of the support member 112 can satisfy the following range: 130mm≤L1≤150mm. In a specific embodiment, the length of the support member 112 is preferably 140mm. The width of each support member 112 is W, and can satisfy the following range: 80mm≤W1≤100mm. In a specific embodiment, the width of the support member 112 is preferably 90mm. The height of each support member 112 is defined by the back profile of the vehicle roof and is not limited here. By setting the length and width of the support member 112 within the above range, it can be ensured that the support member 112 can effectively support the vehicle roof, increase the contact area between the support member 112 and the vehicle roof, and enable the support member 112 to effectively provide support force to the vehicle roof.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the cutting tool 10 also includes a clamping device 12, which can be arranged on the periphery of the substrate 11 and fixedly connected to the substrate 11, wherein the clamping device 12 has a pressing plate 121 and a driving end 122, the pressing plate 121 can be extended toward the installation area 111, and the driving end 122 can be used to drive the pressing plate 121 to move toward the installation area 111, thereby fixing the vehicle roof in the installation area 111 of the substrate 11.

[0038] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the clamping device 12 can be constructed as a plurality of clamping devices 12, and the plurality of clamping devices 12 can be spaced and arranged around the periphery of the substrate 11. By providing a plurality of clamping devices 12, the vehicle roof can be effectively fixed in the installation area 111 of the substrate 11, and the vehicle roof can be prevented from sliding relative to the substrate 11, thereby improving the fixing effect and stability of the vehicle roof. The length of the pressing plate 121 is L2, and the length of the pressing plate 121 can meet the following range: 300mm≤L2≤400mm. In a specific embodiment, the length of the pressing plate 121 is preferably 350mm, and the width of the pressing plate 121 is W2. The width of the pressing plate 121 can meet the following range: 15mm≤W1≤25mm. In a specific embodiment, it is preferably 20mm. By setting the length and width of the pressing plate 121 within the above range, the contact area between the pressing plate 121 and the vehicle roof can be ensured, thereby ensuring that the vehicle roof can be effectively fixed on the substrate 11.
