Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile sunroof assembly, in particular to an auxiliary device for automobile sunroof assembly. Background Art

[0002] The assembly of an automobile sunroof requires multiple processes, including a motor installation process. The motor is pre-installed at a predetermined position on the window frame and nailed to complete the assembly of the motor. In this process, whether it is manual assembly or robot operation, the window frame usually needs to be fixed to prevent the window frame from moving or being misaligned, which may affect the motor assembly operation.

[0003] Currently, when fixing the window frame, a pair of relatively arranged clamps are controlled to approach each other to clamp the window frame. However, this clamping method cannot position the window frame, that is, the position of the window frame in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the clamps cannot be accurately controlled. This may cause the situation that the motor assembly is misaligned and the subsequent nailing operation cannot be carried out when the robot assembles the motor. If clamps are provided in both the length direction and the width direction of the window frame, the equipment cost will be too high.

[0004] In addition, when fixing window frames with different length and width dimensions, it is necessary to pre-adjust the moving stroke of the clamps so that the distance between the two clamps after approaching each other matches the actual width or length of the window frame, and the operation is relatively troublesome.

[0025] Referring Figures 1 to 3 , an auxiliary device for assembling a car sunroof according to a preferred embodiment of the present utility model will be elaborated in detail below. The auxiliary device for assembling a car sunroof includes a sunroof fixing mechanism 10. The sunroof fixing mechanism 10 includes a mounting base 11 and a window frame fixing mechanism 12. The window frame fixing mechanism 12 is installed on the mounting base 11, and the window frame fixing mechanism 12 is used to fix a window frame to the outside of the mounting base 11.

[0026] The window frame has at least two positioning holes. The window frame fixing mechanism 12 includes at least two positioning protrusions 121. The positioning protrusions 121 are installed on the mounting base 11 and their shapes and sizes are both matched with the positioning holes. The window frame is positioned and installed on the outside of the mounting base 11 in such a way that each positioning protrusion 121 is inserted into a positioning hole.

[0027] Preferably, two cross bars in the length direction of the window frame respectively form a positioning hole. There are two positioning protrusions 121 which are spaced a predetermined distance to correspond to the two positioning holes respectively. By inserting the two positioning protrusions 121 into the two positioning holes, while positioning the window frame, the stability of placing the window frame is increased.

[0028] The window frame securing mechanism 12 also includes at least one window frame retaining member 122, which is mounted on the mounting base 11 and is used to secure the window frame. The window frame retaining member 122 includes a retaining assembly 1221 and a pair of retaining members 1222. The retaining members 1222 are mounted on the mounting base 11 on the same side as the positioning protrusion 121. When the window frame is positioned outside the mounting base 11, the retaining members 1222 are located on the side of the window frame closest to the mounting base 11. The retaining assembly 1221 includes a retaining member 12211 and a retaining driving member 12212. The retaining driving member 12212 is mounted on the mounting seat 11. The retaining member 12211 is mounted on the retaining driving member 12212. The retaining member 12211 can be driven by the retaining driving member 12212 to move so as to correspond to or stagger with the retaining member 1222. When the window frame is positioned outside the mounting seat 11, the retaining member 12211 can be driven to move to the side of the window frame away from the mounting seat 11 to clamp the window frame together with the retaining member 1222, thereby fixing the window frame.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that when the abutment 12211 and the counter-abutment 1222 are kept staggered, the abutment 12211 is located on the side of the positioned window frame to avoid the setting of the window frame retaining member 122 increasing the difficulty of positioning the window frame, so that the window frame positioning operation can be carried out smoothly.

[0030] In this way, the positioning protrusion 121 is used to position the window frame, thereby improving the accuracy of the window frame placement position, and the window frame fixing member 122 is used to fix the window frame, thereby improving the firmness of the window frame placement based on the premise that the window frame is correctly placed, thereby ensuring that subsequent assembly operations proceed smoothly, and this fixing method can be applied to window frames of different lengths and widths, and is easy to operate.

[0031] Preferably, the abutment member 12211 can be driven by the abutment driving member 12212 to rotate toward or away from the surface of the counter member 1222 .

[0032] Preferably, the retaining drive member 12212 is implemented as a motor.

[0033] In one embodiment, the abutting member 12211 can be driven by the abutting driving member 12212 to move to or away from the surface of the abutting member 1222 .

[0034] Preferably, the reinforcing driving member 12212 is implemented as a cylinder.

[0035] Preferably, six window frame retaining members 122 are provided, and every three window frame retaining members 122 form a group. The three window frame retaining members 122 in each group are spaced apart. After the window frame is positioned, the opposing members 1222 of the two groups of window frame retaining members 122 respectively correspond to the two cross bars of the window frame, and the two groups of window frame retaining members 122 fix the window frame by clamping the two cross bars.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 , a cable is installed on each of the two cross bars of the window frame. Before assembling a sunshade curtain motor in place, it is necessary to position the cable. When the window frame is fixed to the outside of the mounting seat 11 by the window frame fixing mechanism 12, the cable is located on the side of the window frame close to the mounting seat 11. The sunroof fixing mechanism 10 further includes two cable positioning components 13. The cable positioning components 13 are installed on the mounting seat 11, and the cable positioning components 13 are used to position the cable. The cable positioning component 13 includes two clamping members 131. The two clamping members 131 are spaced apart relatively and at least part of them is on the same side as the positioning protrusion 121. When the window frame is fixed to the outside of the mounting seat 11, the two clamping members 131 of the two cable positioning components 13 are respectively located on both sides of the two cables. The two clamping members 131 can be arbitrarily driven to reduce the distance between them to position the cable by clamping it. Compared with the prior art, it does not require manual intervention, liberates both hands, is convenient to operate, and has higher positioning effect and positioning position accuracy.

[0037] The cable positioning component 13 further includes at least one clamping driving member 132. The clamping driving member 132 is installed on the mounting seat 11. The two clamping members 131 are arbitrarily installed on the clamping driving member 132 and can be driven by the clamping driving member 132 to move, so as to provide power for the cable positioning operation.

[0038] Preferably, one clamping driving member 132 is provided. One of the clamping members 131 is installed on the clamping driving member 132, and the corresponding clamping member 131 can be driven by the clamping driving member 132 to approach or move away from the other clamping member 131 for clamping and releasing.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , the auxiliary device for assembling an automotive sunroof includes a robotic arm 20 and an assembly table 30. The mounting seat 11 is installed on the robotic arm 20. When the window frame is fixed to the sunroof fixing mechanism 10, the sunroof fixing mechanism 10 can be driven by the robotic arm 20 to move above the assembly table 30 and be carried by the assembly table 30 in such a way that the mounting seat 11 is placed above the window frame, so as to facilitate the subsequent motor installation operation.

[0040] Preferably, the mounting seat 11 is detachably connected to the robotic arm 20 so that the assembled skylight can be removed by disassembly and the skylight fixing mechanism 10 to which the window frame has not yet been installed can be installed, thereby effectively reducing the assembly cycle.

[0041] refer to Figure 1 Preferably, the assembly platform 30 has at least two positioning structures 31, and the mounting seat 11 has at least two matching structures 111. The shapes and sizes of the positioning structures 31 match the matching structures 111. The mounting seat 11 is supported by the assembly platform 30 in a manner such that each matching structure 111 corresponds to a positioning structure 31, thereby defining the placement position of the sunroof fixing mechanism 10.

[0042] Preferably, there are four positioning structures 31, and each positioning structure 31 is spaced apart from two of the positioning structures 31. The number of the cooperating structures 111 is consistent with the number of the positioning structures 31. Through the cooperation of the four positioning structures 31 and the four cooperating structures 111, the placement accuracy of the sunroof fixing mechanism 10 is improved and the placement stability is improved.

[0043] Preferably, the positioning structure 31 is implemented as a convex column, the matching structure 111 is implemented as a socket, and the assembly platform 30 supports the sunroof fixing mechanism 10 in a manner that the convex column is inserted into the socket.

[0044] As a variant, the positioning structure 31 is implemented as a socket, the matching structure 111 is implemented as a convex column, and the sunroof fixing mechanism 10 is supported by the assembly platform 30 in a manner that the convex column is inserted into the socket.

[0045] The skylight fixing mechanism 10 also includes at least one motor retaining assembly 14, which is mounted on the mounting base 11 and is used to secure a motor pre-installed on the window frame. The motor retaining assembly 14 includes a motor retaining member 141 and a retaining driver 142. The retaining driver 142 is mounted on the mounting base 11. The motor retaining member 141 is mounted on the retaining driver 142 and can be driven by the retaining driver 142 to move to correspond with or stagger the motor pre-installed on the window frame. When the motor retaining member 141 is driven to correspond with the motor, the motor retaining member 141 abuts against the motor to secure it, preventing it from moving, allowing for subsequent nailing to assemble the motor to the window frame.

[0046] It is worth mentioning that when the motor retainer 141 is offset from the motor, the motor retainer 141 is located at the side of the window frame to be fixed. In this way, based on the settings of the positions of the abutting member 12211 and the motor retainer 141, the window frame is positioned by moving along the extension direction of the positioning projection 121 close to the mounting base 11 and finally being inserted into the positioning projection 121, effectively avoiding the situation where the fixation difficulty of the window frame is increased due to interference of local parts, and enabling the fixation operation of the window frame to proceed smoothly.

[0047] Preferably, the motor retainer 141 can be driven by the retention driver 142 to rotate onto or away from the surface of the motor pre-installed on the window frame.

[0048] Preferably, the retention driver 142 is implemented as an electric motor.

[0049] In an embodiment, the motor retainer 141 can be driven by the retention driver 142 to move onto or away from the surface of the motor pre-installed on the window frame.

[0050] Preferably, the retention driver 142 is implemented as a cylinder.

[0051] It is worth mentioning that the types of motors assembled on the window frame are divided into mechanical group motors and sunshade motors. There are two motor retention assemblies 14 arranged at intervals, and the two motor retention assemblies 14 are respectively used for fixing the mechanical group motor and the sunshade motor.

[0052] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments, and the embodiments of the present invention can have any deformation or modification without departing from the principle.
