[0009] In one embodiment, the mounting plate has a rounded chamfer on one side edge facing the mounting space.

[0010] In one embodiment, the two mounting plates are respectively provided with two connecting holes, the roller is sleeved on a rotating shaft, and the two opposite ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably extended into the two connecting holes.

[0011] In one embodiment, the rotating shaft includes a sleeve section and two plug sections connected to both ends of the sleeve section. The roller is sleeved on the sleeve section, and the two plug sections are rotatably inserted into the two connecting holes respectively. The outer diameter of the sleeve section is larger than the outer diameter of the two plug sections.

[0012] In one embodiment, a connector is provided on the top of the main body, and the top of the connector forms a socket for the drive end to be inserted and engaged with the drive end.

[0026] Installing rubber strips on vehicle door frames not only increases the seal between the door and the frame but also cushions the impact force on the frame when the door closes. Currently, the installation process typically involves pre-installing the strips on the door frame and then manually tapping them with a rubber mallet to secure them. However, using a mallet makes it difficult to precisely control the tapping force and location, resulting in some areas of the strip being loose and poorly installed. Furthermore, tapping each area of ​​the strip with a mallet takes considerable time, leading to low installation efficiency.

[0027] This utility model proposes an auxiliary installation tool 100.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the auxiliary installation tool 100 is used to assist in the installation of the adhesive strip on the vehicle door frame. The auxiliary installation tool 100 includes a main body 1 and a driving component 2. The bottom of the main body 1 forms an installation space 13, and the bottom of the installation space 13 is open 131. A roller 12 is provided in the installation space 13, and the two opposite ends of the roller 12 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the opposite sides of the installation space 13. The outer edge of the roller 12 is recessed inward to form a groove 121. The opening 131 allows the adhesive strip to enter the installation space 13, so that the adhesive strip extends into the groove 121 to roll and contact with the roller 12. The driving end 21 of the driving component 2 is connected to the top of the mounting base, and the driving component 2 is used to drive the mounting base to vibrate, so as to drive the roller 12 to knock the adhesive strip pre-installed on the vehicle door frame.

[0029] The auxiliary installation tool 100 of this utility model has a roller 12 at the bottom of the main body 1. The roller 12 has a groove 121, and the rubber strip can extend from the opening 131 into the installation space 13 to cooperate with the groove 121 of the roller 12. This allows the roller 12 to roll along the rubber strip pre-installed on the door frame. When the driving member 2 drives the mounting seat to vibrate, the roller 12 vibrates, thus evenly tapping the rubber strip. The roller 12 can move along the rubber strip so that all parts of the rubber strip can be tapped. Compared with the existing method of manually tapping the rubber strip with a rubber mallet, the auxiliary installation tool 100 not only provides uniform tapping force, but also quickly and evenly taps all parts of the rubber strip pre-installed on the door frame, making the rubber strip more evenly and firmly installed on the door frame. The installation effect of the rubber strip is better, and the installation efficiency is higher.

[0030] Understandably, the roller 12 is designed to facilitate rolling and tapping along the rubber strip, and the groove 121 allows the roller 12 to tap multiple positions of the rubber strip. The groove 121 also provides a reliable limiting function, which can guide the roller 12 to move along the rubber strip to a certain extent.

[0031] In one embodiment, the groove 121 is a smooth arc-shaped groove 121, and the outer edges of the opposite ends of the bottom of the roller 12 are close to the opening 131.

[0032] Understandably, the smooth, curved groove 121 fits the shape of the rubber strip better, ensuring that the rubber strip is evenly stressed after entering the installation space 13, reducing the occurrence of excessive or insufficient local pressure, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of rubber strip installation. Furthermore, the smooth curved design can prevent sharp edges from scratching or causing other physical damage to the rubber strip, especially during the rolling of the roller 12, the smooth surface can better protect the integrity of the rubber strip and extend its service life. Moreover, the design of the bottom outer edge of the roller 12 close to the opening 131 makes it easier for the rubber strip to enter the installation space 13 from the opening 131 and quickly align with the groove 121 of the roller 12, while also facilitating the removal of the rubber strip and simplifying the entire installation and fixing process of the rubber strip.

[0033] It should be noted that roller 12 can directly adopt the V-wheel in the existing technology.

[0034] In one embodiment, the bottom of the main body 1 has two spaced mounting plates 11, and an installation space 13 is formed between the two mounting plates 11. The two ends of the roller 12 are rotatably connected to the two mounting plates 11 respectively, and the adhesive strip that enters the installation space 13 is limited to the space between the two mounting plates 11.

[0035] Understandably, the structure between the two mounting plates 11 provides stable support for the roller 12, ensuring that the roller 12 can maintain smooth rotation during operation and avoiding uneven installation of the rubber strip due to the roller 12's skewing or wobbling. Furthermore, the two mounting plates 11 ensure that the roller 12 can be guided to roll along the rubber strip during installation, preventing the roller 12 from deviating from its predetermined position. This allows the roller 12 to apply uniform pressure to the rubber strip, ensuring a tighter installation between the rubber strip and the door frame, improving the final installation quality, accuracy, and overall installation effect.

[0036] Specifically, the two mounting plates 11 are set in parallel, with a simple and compact structure and low space occupancy.

[0037] In one embodiment, the mounting plate 11 has a rounded chamfer on one side edge facing the mounting space 13.

[0038] Understandably, the rounded chamfer can reduce the friction and wear of the rubber strip by the edge of the mounting plate 11, especially the two sides of the rubber strip. The mounting plate 11 can abut against the two sides of the rubber strip, and the middle part of the rubber strip enters the groove 121. The mounting plate 11 and the roller 12 can tap different parts of the rubber strip. The smooth edge can prevent the surface of the rubber strip from being scratched or damaged during the movement along the rubber strip, thereby protecting the integrity and appearance of the rubber strip.

[0039] In one embodiment, two mounting plates 11 are respectively provided with two connecting holes 111, and a roller 12 is sleeved on a rotating shaft 14. The two opposite ends of the rotating shaft 14 are rotatably extended into the two connecting holes 111.

[0040] Understandably, by fitting the roller 12 onto the rotating shaft 14 and inserting both ends of the rotating shaft 14 into the connecting holes 111 on the mounting plate 11, the roller 12 can be kept stable during rotation, avoiding skewness or wobbling of the roller 12, thereby improving the uniformity and consistency of the rubber strip installation; furthermore, this also makes the installation and disassembly of the roller 12 simpler and more convenient; the mating structure between the rotating shaft 14 and the connecting hole 111 is clear and straightforward, reducing complex assembly steps and facilitating manufacturing.

[0041] In one embodiment, the rotating shaft 14 includes a sleeve section 141 and two plug sections 142 connected to both ends of the sleeve section 141. The roller 12 is sleeved on the sleeve section 141, and the two plug sections 142 are rotatably inserted into two connecting holes 111 respectively. The outer diameter of the sleeve section 141 is larger than the outer diameter of the two plug sections 142.

[0042] Understandably, the outer diameter of the socket section 141 is larger than the outer diameter of the insertion section 142, making the connection of the rotating shaft 14 more stable. This effectively prevents the rotating shaft 14 from moving axially toward the two connecting holes 111, ensuring the stable connection of the rotating shaft 14. This, in turn, keeps the roller 12 stable during rotation, avoiding uneven installation of the rubber strip due to axial movement. Furthermore, this design eliminates the need for additional bolts to fix the rotating shaft 14, resulting in a simple and lightweight structure.

[0043] In one embodiment, a connector 15 is provided on the top of the main body 1, and the top of the connector 15 forms a socket 151 for the drive end 21 to be inserted and to engage with the drive end 21.

[0044] Understandably, the socket 151 ensures a stable connection between the drive end 21 and the connector 15, preventing loosening or detachment during vibration and ensuring the stability and reliability of the tool during operation. Furthermore, the cooperation between the socket 151 and the drive end 21 ensures precise alignment during installation, enabling quick connection, simplifying the assembly process, and improving production efficiency. The insertion of the drive end 21 into the socket 151 increases the connection area between the drive end 21 and the connector 15, making the connection more stable and preventing the main body 1 from easily falling off when the drive end 21 vibrates.

[0045] Furthermore, a nut is also fitted onto the drive end 21. When the drive end 21 is partially inserted into the socket 151, the nut is threadedly connected to the outer edge of the top of the connector 15. This makes the connection between the drive end 21 and the connector 15 more secure, preventing the main body 1 from falling off during vibration.

[0046] In one embodiment, the connector 15 is a connecting rod, and the bottom of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the top of the main body 1 through a bearing 16.

[0047] Understandably, since the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the main body 1 via a bearing 16, the main body 1 can rotate around the connecting rod. When the roller rolls along the rubber strip, the main body 1 can adaptively rotate to adjust the angle without adjusting the angle of the drive component 2, which improves the flexibility of the auxiliary installation tool 100. In complex environments such as vehicle door frames, the multi-angle rotation capability of the connecting rod can better adapt to different installation positions and angles of the rubber strip, so that the roller 12 can directly and quickly complete the tapping operation around the rubber strip, making the tapping operation of the rubber strip more convenient.

[0048] In one embodiment, the top of the main body 1 is provided with an upward-facing mounting groove 17, the bearing 16 is installed in the mounting groove 17, the shaft hole of the bearing 16 is arranged vertically, and the bottom of the connecting rod is inserted into the shaft hole.

[0049] Understandably, the bearing 16 is installed in the mounting groove 17, which can provide stable support and ensure that the connecting rod will not wobble or shift during rotation, thus improving the stability of the tool. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the top of the main body 1 through the bearing 16, allowing the connecting rod to rotate freely within a certain range to adapt to the operational needs of different angles and directions, thus improving the flexibility of the tool.

[0050] In one embodiment, the auxiliary installation tool 100 includes two symmetrically arranged housings 18, which are joined together to form a main body 1.

[0051] Understandably, the two housings 18 are detachably connected to facilitate the assembly of the rollers 12 and bearings 16, and also to facilitate subsequent disassembly and maintenance. The symmetrical arrangement makes the vibration effect more uniform and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0052] Specifically, the two mounting plates 11 are located on the two housings 18 respectively, and the two housings 18 can be fastened with bolts to maintain better structural stability.

[0053] It should be noted that the driving component 2 in this embodiment can be a cylinder from the prior art.

[0054] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
