[0047] Example 1

[0048] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a car roof positioning tool, comprising:

[0049] Mounting frame 1, provided with two;

[0050] A first positioning assembly 2, the first positioning assembly 2 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 1 along a vertical direction;

[0051] A second positioning assembly 3, both ends of which are slidably connected to two adjacent mounting frames 1 in a horizontal direction;

[0052] The upper ends of the mounting frame 1 and the first positioning assembly 2 are supported on the lower surface of the ceiling 6 .

[0053] The two mounting frames 1 slide to a suitable position in the horizontal direction along the second positioning component 3, thereby changing the length of the positioning tooling, which can be suitable for ceilings 6 of different lengths. The height of the first positioning component 2 in the vertical direction is adjusted according to the curvature of the ceiling 6 to ensure that ceilings 6 of different curvatures can be stably placed on the positioning tooling, so as to carry out subsequent cutting, riveting, sewing and other processing on the ceiling 6.

[0054] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, the mounting frame 1 includes: a first connecting plate 11;

[0055] There are two second connecting plates 12, which are arranged perpendicular to the first connecting plate 11; the first end of the second connecting plate 12 is connected to the first connecting plate 11; the upper end of the first connecting plate 11 and the upper end of the second connecting plate 12 are both supported on the lower surface of the ceiling 6;

[0056] The first positioning assembly 2 is disposed at the second end of the second connecting plate 12 and is slidably connected between adjacent second connecting plates 12 .

[0057] The first connecting plate 11 and the second connecting plate 12 of the mounting frame 1 are vertically arranged and are both supported on the lower surface of the ceiling 6, providing stable support for the ceiling 6. The first positioning component 2 slides up and down along the second connecting plate 12, and can flexibly adjust the height of the first positioning component 2 according to the curvature of the ceiling 6, so that the top of the first positioning component 2 abuts against the lower surface of the ceiling 6.

[0058] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, a first support plate 13 is provided at the second end of the second connecting plate 12 , and a first slide groove 14 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the first support plate 13 . The left and right ends of the first positioning assembly 2 are respectively slidably connected in two adjacent first slide grooves 14 .

[0059] The left and right ends of the first positioning assembly 2 are slidably connected in two adjacent first sliding grooves 14 to ensure greater stability when supporting the roof 6 .

[0060] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, the first positioning component 2 includes:

[0061] A third connecting plate 21, the upper end of which is supported on the lower surface of the ceiling 6; both ends of the third connecting plate 21 are provided with second sliding grooves 22 extending in the vertical direction;

[0062] The first bolt 23 passes through the first sliding groove 14 and the second sliding groove 22 and is screwed to the first nut.

[0063] By tightening the first bolt 23 and the first nut, the first slide groove 14 and the second slide groove 22 located therebetween are compressed, ensuring that the first positioning assembly 2 can be fixed at a desired height after sliding to the desired height.

[0064] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, through holes are opened at both ends of the first connecting plate 11;

[0065] The second positioning assembly 3 includes a connecting rod, both ends of which are slidably connected to two adjacent first connecting plates 11 through through holes, and a scale is marked on the connecting rod.

[0066] There is a scale on the connecting rod, which can accurately adjust the distance between adjacent mounting frames 1, thereby ensuring that the length of this positioning tool is adapted to the length of the ceiling 6. In addition, the simultaneous use of two second positioning components 3 can correct the tooling state to ensure that the two mounting frames are in a parallel state, and when cutting the ceiling 6, it plays an auxiliary role in determining the cutting position on the ceiling 6.

[0067] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, it also includes a third positioning component 4, which slides along the side of the second connecting plate 12, and the upper end of the third positioning component 4 extends out of the ceiling 6 along the edge of the inner hole of the ceiling 6 to position the ceiling 6.

[0068] The third positioning components 4 are arranged near the four corners of the positioning tool, abutting against the inner hole edge of the ceiling 6, and limiting the ceiling 6 in the horizontal direction to prevent the ceiling 6 from being displaced during the processing.

[0069] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, the third positioning component 4 includes:

[0070] A fourth connecting plate 41, both ends of which are fixed to the outer side surface of the second end of the second connecting plate 12, the fourth connecting plate 41 and the second connecting plate 12 forming an accommodating space, and a third sliding groove 42 is formed on the fourth connecting plate 41, and the third sliding groove 42 extends in the horizontal direction;

[0071] The limiting rod 43, the lower end of the limiting rod 43 is set in the accommodating space, the lower end of the limiting rod 43 is installed with a slider 44, the limiting rod 43 is slidably connected to the third slide groove 42 through the slider 44, and the upper end of the limiting rod 43 extends out of the ceiling 6 along the inner hole edge of the ceiling 6.

[0072] Since the inner holes on the roof 6 of different models are opened at different positions, the limiting rod 43 slides in the third slide groove 42, and the position of the limiting rod 43 can be adjusted according to the position of the inner hole, which has high flexibility and versatility.

[0073] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, it also includes a fourth positioning component 5, the upper end of the fourth positioning component 5 abuts against the lower surface of the ceiling 6, and a plurality of positioning holes are provided on both ends of the first connecting plate 11, and the fourth positioning component 5 is rotatably connected in the positioning holes.

[0074] When the ceiling 6 is wider, the fourth positioning assembly 5 is installed at both ends of the first connecting plate 11, and the fourth positioning assembly 5 is rotated to a suitable position so that the fourth positioning assembly 5 abuts against the lower surface of the ceiling 6, or the edge of the ceiling 6 is stuck in the fourth positioning assembly 5, thereby achieving the positioning of the widened ceiling.

[0075] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, the fourth positioning component 5 includes:

[0076] A mounting plate 51 is provided with a connection hole, and the upper end surface of the mounting plate 51 abuts against the lower surface of the ceiling 6;

[0077] The second bolt 52 passes through the connecting hole and the positioning hole and is threadedly connected to the second nut.

[0078] After the mounting plate 51 is rotated to a suitable position, the mounting plate 51 is fixed to the mounting frame 1 by the second bolt 52 .

[0079] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, it also includes a second support plate 15, which is provided in plurality. The second support plate 15 is arranged between the first connecting plate 11 and the third connecting plate 21, and the two ends of the second support plate 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the two adjacent second connecting plates 12;

[0080] The second support plate 15 is supported on the lower surface of the ceiling 6 .

[0081] The second support plate 15 which cannot be adjusted in height is added to provide auxiliary support for the ceiling 6 and is suitable for ceilings with a smaller inner hole range and a larger mass in the middle.

[0082] Furthermore, the positioning tool is manufactured by 3D printing and assembled with ABS boards, which has a lower production cost.

[0083] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0084] According to the length of the ceiling 6, the two mounting frames 1 are slid to the appropriate position in the horizontal direction along the second positioning component 3 to change the length of this positioning tool; the height of the first positioning component 2 in the vertical direction is adjusted according to the curvature of the ceiling 6 to ensure that ceilings 6 with different curvatures can be stably placed on this positioning tool; according to the opening position of the inner hole of the ceiling 6, the position of the third positioning component 4 relative to the mounting frame 1 is adjusted so that the third positioning component 4 extends along the edge of the inner hole. For the widened ceiling 6, the fourth positioning component 5 is rotated to the appropriate position so that it can abut or engage with the ceiling.

[0085] Place the ceiling 6 on the positioning fixture for subsequent processing.

[0086] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments.
