AI Technical Summary
In the existing glass edge grinding process, the insufficient number and position of suction cups result in too small a glass support area, insufficient rigidity, and an increased edge cracking rate.
A non-standard suction cup assembly for sunroof and rear bumper edge grinding is designed. Small suction cups are added to increase the support area, and large suction cups are used as the standard design. The cover contour is consistent with the shape of the glass. The cylinder drives the mounting plate to move to achieve sealing contact and enhance the rigidity of the glass.
It improves the rigidity of the glass during edge grinding, reduces the probability of edge cracking, and ensures the glass edge grinding effect and sealing.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of suction cup design, in particular to a non-standard suction cup assembly for a skylight or a rear guard edge grinding. Background Art
[0002] Existing glass edge grinding uses standard suction cups. The number and placement of the suction cups are automatically generated by the software. The basis for the software generation is that the suction cups do not interfere with the movement trajectory of the water cover during the edge grinding process. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a is the automatically generated suction cup placement, b is the glass edge grinding track, and c is the water cover outline. This results in too few suction cups on some glasses, and the supporting area of the glass is too small during the edge grinding process, which leads to an increase in the edge cracking rate of the glass due to insufficient rigidity during the edge grinding process.
[0003] Therefore, we propose a non-standard suction cup assembly for sunroof and rear guard edge grinding to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a non-standard suction cup assembly for a skylight and a rear guard edge grinding.
[0005] The utility model provides a non-standard suction cup assembly for a skylight and a rear guard edge grinding, comprising a water cover for sealing a glass surface, the water cover comprising a cover body and a sealing ring arranged at the edge of the cover body, a plurality of large suction cups being arranged on the inner side of the cover body, the air inlet ends of the large suction cups being arranged on the outer side of the water cover, a plurality of small suction cups being arranged on the inner side of the cover body near the edge, the air inlet ends of the small suction cups being arranged on the outer side of the water cover, the back side of the cover body being connected to a mounting plate by a plurality of bolts, a cylinder being arranged above the mounting plate, the output shaft of the cylinder being fixedly connected to the mounting plate, a connecting plate being fixed on the cylinder body of the cylinder, and a mounting hole being arranged on the connecting plate.
[0006] Preferably, the large suction cup is a standard suction cup with a diameter of φ80 mm.
[0007] Preferably, the outline of the cover body is consistent with the shape of the skylight and the rear window.
[0008] Preferably, the large suction cups are distributed in an array.
[0009] Preferably, the small suction cup and the large suction cup are sealedly connected to the cover body.
[0010] Compared with the related art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] Small suction cups (non-standard suction cups) are designed to maximize the area covered by the suction cups while ensuring there is no interference between the water cover and the suction cups. This increases the rigidity of the glass during edging by increasing the supporting area of the glass, thereby reducing the probability of edge cracking during edging.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation examples.
[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 A custom suction cup assembly for sunroof and rear window edging includes a water shield 2 for tightly sealing the glass surface. The shield 2 consists of a shield body 21 and a sealing ring 22 strategically positioned around the shield's edge. Inside the shield 21, several large, standard suction cups 3 are positioned, their air intakes strategically positioned outside the shield. More crucially, several small suction cups 4 are also positioned near the inner edge of the shield 21, their air intakes similarly positioned outside the shield.
[0018] The back of the cover body 21 is connected to a mounting plate 6 through a number of bolts 5. A cylinder 7 is provided above the mounting plate 6. The output shaft of the cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 6. A connecting plate 8 is fixed to the cylinder body of the cylinder 7. The connecting plate 8 is provided with a mounting hole 9. The connecting plate 8 is installed on the mechanical equipment. The mounting plate 6 and the cover body 21 are driven by the cylinder 7 to move as a whole, so that the sealing ring 22 contacts the glass to form a water cover 2 space.
[0019] By cleverly adding small suction cups 4 (non-standard design) between the cover body 21 of the water cover 2 and the large suction cups 3, we have successfully reduced the unsupported width of the glass during the edging process, thereby greatly improving the structural rigidity of the glass. It is worth mentioning that the large suction cup 3 adopts a standard design with a diameter of φ80mm, ensuring good versatility and interchangeability. At the same time, the contour of the cover body 21 is carefully designed to be consistent with the shape of the sunroof and rear windshield to achieve better adaptability and sealing. In addition, the large suction cups 3 are distributed in an array, making the force more uniform, further improving the edging effect. Finally, a sealed connection design is adopted between the small suction cups 4 and the large suction cups 3 and the cover body 21, which not only facilitates the sealing operation of the water cover 2, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the entire system.
[0020] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
