[0032] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a centering fixture device for the top covers of multiple vehicle models, which includes a bracket 1 and a centering plate 2. The centering plate 2 is inclined and arranged on the bracket 1. The centering plate 2 is provided with a first fixture adjustment component 3 and a second fixture adjustment component 4. The first fixture adjustment component 3 and the second fixture adjustment component 4 are movably arranged on the centering plate 2. The first fixture adjustment component 3 can be used to position the vehicle top cover 6 in the X direction, and the second fixture adjustment component 4 can position the vehicle top cover 6 in the Y direction. In addition, a third fixture adjustment component 5 is also provided on the centering plate 2. The third fixture adjustment component 5 stands upright on the centering plate 2 and abuts against the bottom surface of the vehicle top cover 6. The third fixture adjustment component 5 can be used to position the vehicle top cover 6 in the Z direction. In this way, by providing the first fixture adjustment component 3, the second fixture adjustment component 4, and the third fixture adjustment component 5 on the centering plate 2, the vehicle top cover 6 can be positioned in the X, Y, and Z directions, so as to realize the fixed installation of the vehicle top cover 6; since the first fixture adjustment component 3 and the second fixture adjustment component 4 are movably arranged on the centering plate 2, corresponding adjustments can be made according to the size of the vehicle top cover, so as to meet the clamping and positioning of vehicle top covers 6 of different sizes, and a single centering fixture device can meet the clamping of multiple different types of vehicle top covers.
[0033] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the first fixture adjustment component 3 includes a pair of first adjustment units 31. The pair of first adjustment units 31 are arranged at intervals. Specifically, the pair of first adjustment units 31 are distributed at the opposite ends on one side of the centering plate 2. By providing a pair of first adjustment units 31, the two ends on one side of the centering plate 2 can be abutted; when the vehicle top covers 6 of different types and sizes change, the size of the first adjustment unit 31 can be adjusted to adapt to the positioning of vehicle top covers 6 of different types and sizes.
[0034] Further, the first adjustment unit 31 includes a first clamping arm and a telescopic cylinder. The first clamping arm is slidably mounted on the centering plate 2 and abuts against the vehicle top cover 6. The telescopic cylinder can be used to drive the first clamping arm to move. In this way, by driving the first clamping arm to move through the telescopic cylinder, vehicle top covers 6 of different types and sizes can be resisted, so as to realize the X-direction positioning of vehicle top covers of different types and sizes.
[0035] Further, please refer to Figure 1As shown in the figure, each first adjustment unit 31 includes a first mounting seat 311. A first stop arm 312 and a second stop arm 313 are rotatably arranged on the first mounting seat 311. The first stop arm 312 is distributed inside the centering plate 2, and the second stop arm 313 is distributed outside the centering plate 2. In addition, a first driving cylinder 314 is also provided on the first mounting seat 311, and the first driving cylinder 314 can drive the first stop arm 312 to flip. By providing the first stop arm 312 and the second stop arm 313, since the first stop arm 312 and the second stop arm 313 are staggeredly distributed, when the car roof 6 with a smaller size needs to be positioned, the first stop arm 312 is used to abut and position the car roof 6 at this time; when the car roof 6 with a larger size needs to be positioned, the first driving cylinder 314 drives the first stop arm 312 to flip at this time, and at this time, the car roof 6 can be made to abut against the second stop arm 313 to achieve alignment, so as to realize the X-direction positioning of car roofs 6 of different types and sizes.
[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, the heights of the first stop arm 312 and the second stop arm 313 can also be set differently, that is, the height of the second stop arm 313 can be higher than the height of the first stop arm 312. In this way, by staggering the distribution of the first stop arm 312 and the second stop arm 313 and setting different stop arm heights, the positioning of car roofs 6 of different sizes can be realized.
[0037] Further, please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the second fixture adjustment assembly 4 includes a plurality of second adjustment units 41. Each second adjustment unit 41 is arranged on both sides of the centering plate 2. Specifically, the plurality of second adjustment units 41 on one side of the centering plate 2 are spaced apart along the width direction of the centering plate 2. In this way, by providing a plurality of second adjustment units 41, the Y-direction positioning of the car roof 6 can be better realized.
[0038] Specifically, the second adjustment unit 41 includes a third stop arm 411 and a second driving cylinder 412. The third stop arm 411 and the second driving cylinder 412 are arranged on the centering plate 2, and the second driving cylinder 412 can be used to drive the third stop arm 411 to flip. In this way, since the second adjustment units 41 are staggeredly distributed along the width direction of the centering plate 2, according to the actual situation and specific requirements, the second driving cylinder 412 can drive the third stop arm 411 to flip, so that car roofs 6 of different sizes can abut against different positions of the second adjustment units 41, thereby realizing the Y-direction positioning of the car roof 6.
[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown, the third fixture adjustment assembly 5 includes a plurality of support units 51, and each support unit 51 can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the centering plate 2. By arranging a plurality of support units 51, the Z-direction positioning of the automobile roof cover 6 can be realized.
[0040] Preferably, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the support unit 51 includes a support column 511 and a lifting cylinder 512. The lifting cylinder 512 can be used to drive the support column 511 to lift, and the lifting cylinder 512 is arranged on the centering plate 2. In this way, by driving the support column 511 to lift through the lifting cylinder 512, the Z-direction positioning of different types of automobile roof covers 6 can be adapted.
[0041] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the third fixture adjustment assembly 5 further includes at least one guiding unit 52. Each guiding unit 52 can be used to guide the movement of the automobile roof cover 6. Specifically, the guiding unit 52 includes a column 521 and a rolling ball 522. The column 521 stands upright on the centering plate 2, and the rolling ball 522 can be used to abut against the automobile roof cover 6. The elastic member 523 is installed at the end of the column 521 and can be used to elastically push the rolling ball 522 to move. In this way, when the automobile roof cover 6 is placed on the guiding unit 52, at this time, under the combined action of its own weight and the rolling ball 522, the automobile roof cover 6 can quickly slide to abut against the first adjustment unit 31, and by arranging the rolling ball 522, the friction between the automobile roof cover 6 and the rolling ball 522 is reduced, which is beneficial to the quick sliding of the automobile roof cover 6.
[0042] Furthermore, the included angle between the centering plate 2 and the bracket 1 is 40° - 60°. Specifically, the included angle between the centering plate 2 and the bracket 1 is 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, etc. In this application, the included angle between the centering plate 2 and the bracket 1 is 60°. In this way, it is beneficial to the quick sliding of the automobile roof cover 6 and improves the installation efficiency. Of course, in this embodiment, according to the actual situation and specific requirements, the included angle between the centering plate 2 and the bracket 1 can also be set to other angles, which is not uniquely limited here.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in terms of form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
