[0054] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following description is given in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0055] Existing automakers often use a wet-cure method to bond rails and glass, which typically takes 48 hours for the adhesive to cure. This severely impacts overall production efficiency and prevents rapid product delivery.

[0056] Based on this, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a glass assembly installation device with a guide rail is proposed, including a workbench 1, on which a heating component 2, a guide rail positioning member 3, a glass profiling positioning component 4 and a clamping device 5 are provided; the glass profiling positioning component 4 is arranged adjacent to the guide rail positioning member 3, and the guide rail positioning member 3 and the glass profiling positioning component 4 constitute a positioning structure; in the Z-axis direction, the clamping end of the clamping device 5 and the positioning structure are arranged opposite to each other and constitute a clamping structure; the heating end of the heating component 2 and the guide rail positioning member 3 are arranged opposite to each other; the heating end of the heating component 2 can move back and forth along the Z-axis direction.

[0057] Specifically, the clamping device 5 is any commercially available device that can achieve a clamping effect. Accordingly, the clamping block can be connected to a mechanism that can achieve linear displacement, such as connecting a clamping block to the movable end of a cylinder, and driving the clamping block to move toward the surface of the product to be assembled by the cylinder to clamp the product to be assembled. The clamping device 5 of the present invention preferably adopts a rotary pressing cylinder connected to any clamping block, so that the clamping block completes the corresponding compound movement, that is, first drives the clamping block to rotate a certain angle, and then when the clamping block moves to the top of the surface of the product to be assembled, drives the clamping block to perform a linear downward movement to resist and press on the surface of the product to be assembled. This design allows the clamping device 5 of the present invention to complete the clamping of the product to be assembled under limited space.

[0058] It can be understood that the installation equipment of the glass assembly with guide rails of the present invention replaces the traditional manual operation process with fully automatic mechanical equipment. At the same time, after the two products that are initially bonded are fastened to the positioning structure composed of the guide rail positioning member 3 and the glass imitation positioning component 4 through the clamping device 5, the heating end of the heating component 2 is close to the guide rail positioning member 3, so that the heat can be directly directed to the bonding point of the two products; compared with the existing installation method of the glass assembly with guide rails, not only can the bonded products always be in a tightly fitted state before the glue is completely cured, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of pores formed between the products due to the curing and shrinkage of the glue, but also the glue between the products can be quickly solidified to improve the overall installation efficiency; that is, the traditional curing method takes 48 hours and requires a specific curing chamber for curing; and the improved method of using electromagnetic heating for curing can shorten the curing time from 48 hours / piece to 0.3 hours / piece, and no specific curing chamber is required, thereby improving work efficiency while saving corresponding production costs.

[0059] In some embodiments, the aforementioned installation device for a glass assembly with guide rails further includes a support plate 6; the heating assembly 2, the guide rail positioning member 3, the glass profiling positioning assembly 4, and the clamping device 5 are all disposed on the support plate 6; the support plate 6 is slidably connected to the workbench 1; and when the support plate 6 moves to the heating position, the heating end of the heating assembly 2 and the guide rail positioning member 3 are disposed relative to each other. Specifically, the support plate 6 and the workbench 1 can be connected via any commercially available drive device capable of driving an object in a straight line, such as a linear guide rail or a pneumatic guide rail. By connecting the drive device to the workbench 1 and then connecting the support plate 6 to the movable portion of the drive device, structural support can be provided for the support plate 6 to be able to move relative to the workbench 1. This design further optimizes the component structure of the installation equipment of the glass assembly with guide rails. By providing a support plate 6 that can slide relative to the workbench 1, the freedom of the installation equipment of the glass assembly with guide rails of the utility model can be improved, so that the staff can keep the support plate 6 away from the heating component 2 during the process of assembling the guide rails and the glass on the positioning structure, thereby avoiding interference between the corresponding structure and the heating component 2 and preventing the heating end of the heating component 2 from scalding the staff.

[0060] In some embodiments, the guide rail positioning member 3 includes a profiling seat 31 and a locating pin seat 32; the support surface of the profiling seat 31 and the support surface of the locating pin seat 32 constitute a virtual support surface; the virtual support surface is adapted to the profile of the product to be assembled; the locating pin seat 32 includes a pin 321; and in the Z-axis direction, the pin 321 and the locating pin seat 32 are threadedly connected. This design makes specific improvements to the structural components of the guide rail positioning member 3. During use, the staff can replace the appropriate profiling seat 31 according to the structural shape of the product to be assembled to adapt to the profile of the product to be assembled, thereby avoiding the profiling seat 31 and the product to be assembled from shaking and offsetting during the subsequent heating and curing of the glue due to poor fit, thereby affecting the overall installation quality; at the same time, the staff can also rotate the pin 321 to change the support position of the pin 321 to adapt to the profile of the product to be assembled. Through a single adjustment, the positioning work of all products in the same batch can be met, thereby achieving the purpose of improving overall processing efficiency.

[0061] In some embodiments, the support plate 6 is further provided with a temperature sensor 7. The sensing end of the temperature sensor 7 is positioned within the support area of ​​the contour seat 31 and flush with the support surface of the contour seat 31. When the support plate 6 is moved to the heating position, the sensing end of the temperature sensor 7 and the heating end of the heating assembly 2 are aligned. By providing a corresponding temperature sensing device within the support area of ​​the contour seat 31, the temperature of the guide rail can be monitored in real time, allowing personnel to determine when to end heating and curing based on the temperature, thereby avoiding damage to the guide rail due to overheating and unnecessary material loss.

[0062] In some embodiments, the glass profiling and positioning assembly 4 includes at least two profiling blocks 41; the profiling blocks 41 are spaced apart on the support plate 6; all profiling blocks 41 are located on the same side of the profiling seat 31, with the profiling seat 31 located between the profiling blocks 41 and the positioning pin seat 32; the guide rail positioning member 3 and the profiling blocks 41 form a positioning structure; the support plate 6 is also provided with a suction cup 8; the suction cup 8 is located within the positioning structure; the suction end of the suction cup 8 is flush with the positioning surface of the positioning structure. Specifically, the profiling blocks 41 and the workbench 1 are detachably connected, allowing workers to freely adjust the position of the profiling blocks 41 on the workbench 1 according to the shape of the product to be assembled, thereby ensuring that the product to be assembled better fits the profiling blocks 41 and improving the stability of the product to be assembled. This design makes specific modifications to the composition structure of the glass profiling positioning assembly 4. Compared with the traditional profiling base that can completely wrap the product to be assembled, the staff can set the profiling block 41 at the main support position of the product to be assembled according to the actual shape of the product to be assembled. While ensuring the support stability, it can also effectively simplify the positioning structure and provide support for the suction cup 8 to be set inside the positioning structure, thereby ensuring that the product to be assembled can be firmly fixed on the positioning structure.

[0063] In some embodiments, a material sensor 9 is further provided on the support plate 6; the material sensor 9 is disposed inside the positioning structure; the sensing end of the material sensor 9 is oriented toward the side of the profiling seat 31 away from the support plate 6. Specifically, the material sensor 9 is any commercially available device capable of detecting whether material is placed inside the positioning structure, such as an infrared sensor or other optical sensing device capable of sensing objects. The material sensor 9 can be used to detect whether the corresponding product to be assembled is placed in the positioning structure; if a worker misses a component, the installation device of the present invention cannot be successfully activated. If necessary, corresponding sound and light signals can be emitted to remind the worker to add parts in a timely manner to avoid additional work hours and energy consumption due to idle operation.

[0064] In some embodiments, the aforementioned glass assembly installation device with guide rails further includes a telescopic mechanism; the suction cup 8 is connected to a movable portion of the telescopic mechanism; the movable portion of the telescopic mechanism can drive the suction cup 8 to move back and forth along the Z-axis. This design, combining the suction cup 8 with the telescopic mechanism, provides the suction cup 8 with a degree of freedom along the Z-axis, enabling the suction cup 8 to flexibly adjust its suction position to suit different product structures. This ensures that the suction cup 8 can reliably secure the product to be assembled to the positioning structure, preventing shaking, offset, and other issues that can affect product processing quality.

[0065] In some embodiments, the heating assembly 2 includes a lifting device 21 and a heating coil 22; the heating coil 22 is connected to the movable part of the lifting device 21; the movable part of the lifting device 21 can drive the heating coil 22 to move back and forth along the Z-axis direction; the heating coil 22 and the guide rail positioning member 3 are arranged relative to each other; the extension trajectory of the heating coil 22 is adapted to the outer contour of the product to be assembled. Specifically, the extension trajectory of the heating of the present invention is preferably adapted to the outer contour of the guide rail. This design makes specific modifications to the component structure of the heating assembly 2, and the lifting device 21 is provided to provide structural support for the heating coil 22 to be close to the part to be heated of the product. At the same time, the heating coil 22 is arranged to be in a shape adapted to the outer contour of the product, which can ensure that the product can be heated evenly during heating, and avoid the colloid at some joints remaining in a gel-like state after heating due to uneven heating, thereby reducing the connection performance of the product and further affecting the product quality.
