[0002] The car sunroof is an important component of the car. During the manufacturing process of the car sunroof, the glass of the car sunroof needs to be edge-wrapped. Before edge-wrapping, the car sunroof glass needs to be primed and then transported to a curing room. The curing room provides a constant temperature environment (for example, 30°C). After curing for a specified time (such as 1 hour), the glass is transported to the production line for the next step. The problems existing in the existing technology are:

[0003] (1) Due to the use of independent curing rooms, the area occupied is large and space is wasted;

[0004] (2) It is necessary to manually use a material cart to transport the car sunroof glass from the production line to an independent curing room, and then transport the car sunroof glass back to the production line after curing is completed, which is a cumbersome operation;

[0005] (3) The automobile sunroof glass sent to the curing room is a semi-finished product. The semi-finished product cannot be used for more than 24 hours. If the production line stops, the semi-finished product in the curing room will be scrapped, increasing costs.

[0006] In view of this, a curing device is needed that saves curing space, is simple to operate, and reduces semi-finished product inventory. Summary of the Invention

[0032] To provide a more detailed and complete understanding of the technical content disclosed in this application, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and the following specific embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments provided below are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not drawn to scale.

[0033] The following further describes in detail the specific implementations of various aspects of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] This embodiment provides an online curing device for automotive sunroofs. The curing device is installed on an automotive sunroof production line. After the sunroof glass is primed, it is placed in the curing device, cured, and then removed and re-entered the production line. Compared to the existing separate curing room, the curing device provided by this embodiment eliminates the need to transport the glass to the curing room, saving space, improving efficiency, and eliminating the need for unfinished products.

[0036] In this example, see Figure 1-3 The curing device includes a conveying component 1, a timing component 2, a control component 4, a heating component 3 and a temperature detector 5. The conveying component 1 includes a descending component 11, an ascending component 12, a transverse moving component 13 and a third sensor 14. Specifically, the conveying component 1 is provided with the third sensor 14 on the descending component side and the ascending component side respectively.

[0037] In this example, see Figure 3The descending assembly 11 includes a descending transmission mechanism 111 and a first sensor 112. In this embodiment, the descending transmission mechanism 111 includes 10 descending stations, the descending station located on the top layer is the top descending station 1111, and the descending station located on the bottom layer is the bottom descending station 1112. The top descending station 1111 is the first station. In other embodiments of the present utility model, the number of descending stations can be set according to actual conditions. Specifically, the descending transmission mechanism 111 includes two symmetrically arranged groups of the top descending stations 1111 and two symmetrically arranged groups of the bottom descending stations. The two groups of the top descending stations 1111 are used to support the automobile sunroof glass from both sides, so that the automobile sunroof glass is more stable during the transmission process. The functions of the two groups of the bottom descending stations 1112 are similar and will not be repeated here.

[0038] In this embodiment, the structure of the rising component side is the same as Figure 3 Similarly, the lifting component 12 includes a lifting transmission mechanism 121 and a fourth sensor 122. In the present embodiment, the lifting transmission mechanism 121 includes 10 lifting stations, the lifting station located at the bottom layer is the bottom layer lifting station 1212, and the lifting station located at the top layer is the top layer lifting station 1211. The top layer lifting station 1211 is the second station. In other embodiments of the present utility model, the number of lifting stations can be set according to actual conditions. Specifically, the lifting transmission mechanism 121 includes two groups of symmetrically arranged top layer lifting stations 1211 and two groups of symmetrically arranged bottom layer lifting stations 1212. The two groups of top layer lifting stations 1211 are used to support the automobile sunroof glass from both sides, so that the automobile sunroof glass is more stable during the transmission process. The functions of the two groups of bottom layer lifting stations 1212 are similar and will not be repeated here.

[0039] In this embodiment, the transverse movement assembly 13 includes a transverse movement mechanism 131 , a second sensor 132 and a guide rail 133 . The transverse movement mechanism 131 includes a suction cup. The transverse movement mechanism 131 can move from the descending assembly 11 to the ascending assembly 12 along the guide rail 133 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the control assembly 4 includes a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), a transmission shaft 41, and a motor 42. Specifically, the control assembly 4 includes two sets of transmission shafts 41 and motors 42. One set is located on the side of the descending assembly 11 and is used to control the rotation or stopping of the descending assembly 11; the other set is located on the side of the ascending assembly 12 and is used to control the rotation or stopping of the ascending assembly 12. Specifically, the PLC receives signals and controls the operation of the transmission shaft 41, and the transmission shaft 41 controls the rotation or stopping of the descending assembly 11 and the ascending assembly 12 through the motor 42.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first sensor 112 is connected to the timing component 2 , and the second sensor 132 , the third sensor 14 , and the fourth sensor 122 are connected to the control component 4 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the conveying component 1 is used to convey the automobile sunroof glass from the first workstation to the second workstation; specifically, the automobile sunroof glass enters the descending component 11 from the first workstation (top descending workstation 1111), and the descending component 11 rotates in a circle to transport the automobile sunroof glass from the first workstation to the bottom descending workstation 1112, and the transverse movement component 13 transports the automobile sunroof glass from the bottom descending workstation 1112 to the bottom ascending workstation 1212 of the ascending component 12, and the ascending component 12 rotates to transport the automobile sunroof glass from the bottom ascending workstation 1212 to the top ascending workstation 1211 (second workstation).

[0043] In this embodiment, the timing component 2 is used to count according to the number of automobile sunroof glasses entering the conveying component 1; specifically, after the automobile sunroof glasses complete the primer coating, they continue to enter the conveying component 1 from the production line. When the first sensor 112 detects the automobile sunroof glasses on the top-level descending station 1111, it sends a first signal to the timing component 2. After receiving the first signal, the timing component 2 adds 1 to the number of automobile sunroof glasses and starts timing. Specifically, the timing component 2 can set a preset time for timing. In this embodiment, the preset time is 3 minutes. In other embodiments of the present utility model, other preset times can also be set according to actual conditions. Specifically, after the timing component 2 starts timing, it sends a second signal to the control component 4. After receiving the second signal, the control component 4 controls the motor 42 on the descending component side through the transmission shaft 41 on the descending component side. The motor 42 on the descending component side drives the descending component 11 to rotate, and the top descending station 1111 descends one layer. At the same time, the control component 4 also controls the motor 42 on the ascending component side through the transmission shaft 41 on the ascending component side. The motor 42 on the ascending component side drives the ascending component 12 to rotate, and the bottom ascending station 1212 ascends one layer. Since new car sunroof glass is constantly entering the conveying assembly 1, the above process will continue to cycle, and the car sunroof glass will continue to descend in the descending assembly 11 until it is transported to the ascending assembly 12 by the transverse movement assembly 13. The car sunroof glass will continue to rise in the ascending assembly 12 until it reaches the second station, that is, the control assembly 4 controls the rotation speed of the descending assembly 11 and the ascending assembly 12 according to the timing, thereby controlling the time for the conveying assembly to transport the car sunroof glass from the first station to the second station. Specifically, since the descending assembly 11 has 10 descending stations, it takes 30 minutes for the car sunroof glass to descend from the top descending station 1111 to the bottom descending station 1112. Similarly, it takes 30 minutes for the car sunroof glass to rise from the bottom ascending station 1212 to the top ascending station 1211. Therefore, it takes a total of 1 hour for the car sunroof glass to be transported from the first station to the second station.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the second sensor 132 detects that the car sunroof glass moves to the bottom descending station 1112, and the third sensor 14 on the descending component side detects the transverse movement component 13, a third signal is sent to the control component 4. After receiving the third signal, the control component 4 controls the transverse movement component 13 to rise. After the suction cup absorbs the car sunroof glass, the transverse movement component 13 descends and drives the car sunroof glass to move toward the ascending component 12 through the guide rail 133. At the same time, the control component 4 controls the descending component 11 to stop rotating. When the third sensor 14 on the ascending component 12 side detects the transverse movement component 13, and the second sensor 132 detects the car sunroof glass, it indicates that the transverse movement component 13 has reached the ascending component side, and the car sunroof glass has also moved to the bottom ascending station. Position 1212, the second sensor 132 sends a fourth signal to the control component 4. After receiving the fourth signal, the control component 4 controls the transverse movement component 13 to rise and release the adsorption of the car sunroof glass, waiting for the car sunroof glass to enter the bottom rising position 1212. At this time, the second sensor 132 cannot detect the car sunroof glass and sends a fifth signal to the control component 4. After receiving the fifth signal, the control component 4 controls the transverse movement component 13 to descend and return to the descending component 11 through the guide rail 133. When the transverse movement component 13 reaches the descending component side, the third sensor 14 on the descending component side detects the transverse movement component 13, and the second sensor 132 does not detect the car sunroof glass. At this time, the second sensor 132 notifies the control component 4 to control the descending component 11 to start rotating again. The lifting component 12 drives the car sunroof glass to move from the bottom lifting station 1212 to the top lifting station 1211. When the fourth sensor 122 detects that the car sunroof glass arrives at the second station, it sends a fifth signal to the control component 4. After receiving the fifth signal, the control component 4 controls the lifting component 12 to stop rotating. After the car sunroof glass is removed, the fourth sensor 122 can no longer detect the car sunroof glass, and then sends a sixth signal to the control component 4. After receiving the sixth signal, the control component 4 controls the lifting component 12 to start rotating again.

[0045] In this embodiment, the heating assembly 3 heats and solidifies the sunroof glass while the sunroof glass moves from the first station to the second station. Specifically, the heating assembly 3 is a heater. In this embodiment, four heaters are provided near the rising assembly 12 to heat the sunroof glass.

[0046] In this embodiment, the temperature detector 5 is used to detect the temperature of the automobile sunroof glass when it reaches the second station. In this embodiment, the temperature detector 5 is an infrared temperature detector connected to the timing component 2. When it detects that the automobile sunroof glass does not meet the preset temperature requirement, the temperature detector 5 sends a seventh signal to the timing component 2. After receiving the seventh signal, the timing component 2 issues an alarm through the control panel.

[0047] Example 2:

[0048] In order to further illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, this embodiment describes in detail the use process of the online curing device for automobile sunroof glass described in Example 1. The use steps are as follows:

[0049] (1) Place the car sunroof glass that has been primed on the top descending station 1111 of the descending assembly 11.

[0050] (2) The first sensor 112 transmits a first signal to the counting component 2 after sensing the automobile sunroof glass.

[0051] (3) The counting component 2 adds one to the number of the car sunroof glasses according to the first signal and starts timing.

[0052] (4) After the timing component 2 reaches the preset time (such as 3 minutes), the second signal is sent to the control component 4. After receiving the second signal, the control component 4 controls the motor 42 on the lowering component side through the transmission shaft 41 on the lowering component side through the PLC, so that the lowering component 11 rotates, and the car sunroof glass is lowered by one layer. At the same time, the new lowering station moves to the top floor to wait for the new car sunroof glass to be placed in.

[0053] (5) The car sunroof glass descends in sequence. When the car sunroof glass descends to the bottom descending station 1112, it contacts the second sensor 132. The third sensor 14 on the descending component side detects the transverse movement component 13. At this time, the control component 4 controls the transverse movement component 13 to rise, and the car sunroof glass is adsorbed by the suction cup and then descends, driving the car sunroof glass to move toward the ascending component 12.

[0054] (6) When the automobile sunroof glass moves laterally, the descending assembly 11 stops rotating, and the automobile sunroof glass on the descending assembly 11 stops descending. Even if the preset time is reached, it will not descend.

[0055] (7) After the automobile sunroof glass moves to the rising assembly 12, when the third sensor 14 detects the transverse movement assembly 13 and the second sensor 132 detects the automobile sunroof glass, the transverse movement assembly 13 is controlled to rise. At this time, the suction cup deflates and releases the suction on the automobile sunroof glass, waiting for the rising assembly 12 to rotate. The automobile sunroof glass enters the bottom raising station 1212 and then rises to the top raising station 1211. At this time, the second sensor 132 does not detect the automobile sunroof glass and determines that the automobile sunroof glass has left the transverse movement assembly 13. The control assembly 4 controls the transverse movement assembly 13 to descend and return to the descending assembly side through the guide rail 133. It will not start working until the next piece of automobile sunroof glass contacts the second sensor 132 again.

[0056] (8) The car sunroof glass rises at a set time. During the rising process, the heater heats the car sunroof glass. When the car sunroof glass rises to the top rising station 1211, the car sunroof glass contacts the fourth sensor 122. When the glass is not removed, the rising component 12 will not continue to rotate even after the preset time is reached. When the glass is removed, that is, the fourth sensor 122 does not detect the glass, the rising component 12 starts to rotate again. At the same time, the infrared temperature detector detects the temperature of the glass. If the preset temperature requirement is not met, an alarm is issued through the control panel of the timing component 2.

[0057] The present invention relates to an online curing device for automobile sunroof glass. The device uses a conveyor assembly to move the automobile sunroof glass on the production line from a first station to a second station. A timing assembly is used to time the number of automobile sunroof glasses entering the conveyor assembly. A control assembly controls the time it takes for the conveyor assembly to transport the automobile sunroof glass from the first station to the second station based on the timing. During the process of the automobile sunroof glass moving from the first station to the second station, the heating assembly heats and cures the automobile sunroof glass. The curing device of the present invention is arranged on the production line and adopts a one-piece production mode, which is more efficient. The conveyor assembly of the present invention occupies little space, saving area. The present invention has a high degree of automation and is easy to operate manually. The present invention can reduce the inventory of semi-finished products and save costs. The present invention has high practical value.
