[0035] The main functions of the folding top on the convertible car include providing an open driving experience, protecting the internal structure and components of the vehicle, and maintaining the sealing and comfort of the vehicle. Through folding and unfolding, the convertible car can freely switch between closed and open driving environments, meeting different weather and driving needs.

[0036] However, in the prior art, the folding roof assembly is usually installed manually. Since the two ends of the folding roof assembly are usually installed at the left and right C-pillars of the vehicle body, when the folding roof assembly is installed manually, the distance between the two sides of the folding roof assembly in the width direction of the vehicle will be shortened inward due to the elasticity of the framework before installation is completed. Therefore, if the mounting points on the folding roof assembly are fixed one by one with the mounting points on the two C-pillars one by one by manual means, the end of the folding roof assembly is fitted with the mounting surface of one C-pillar and then fixed, it cannot be guaranteed that the other end of the folding roof assembly is fitted with the mounting surface of the other C-pillar, which may cause the mounting points to be out of tolerance when the folding roof assembly is installed, so that the position of the folding roof assembly is deviated after installation, thereby affecting the functions of the folding roof, and even causing the folding roof to be twisted, unable to open and close, and not tightly sealed.

[0037] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a folding roof positioning tool of a vehicle, which is accurately installed on the vehicle body through the first positioning assembly, and then the folding roof assembly placed in the rear passenger compartment of the vehicle is moved by the second positioning assembly, the folding roof assembly is pre-positioned to the vehicle body, and then assembled, so that the folding roof assembly can be accurately installed on the vehicle body.

[0038] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model clearer, the embodiments of the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , first, the overall structure of the double-drive system provided by the embodiments of the utility model is described.

[0040] A folding roof positioning tool 1 of a vehicle, comprising a rack 10, a first positioning assembly 20 and a second positioning assembly 30 respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the rack 10 in the length direction 80 of the vehicle, wherein in the height direction 70 of the vehicle, the first positioning assembly 20 is used to install and limit the folding roof positioning tool 1 to the top position of the vehicle body, and the second positioning assembly 30 is used to pre-position the folding roof assembly placed in the rear passenger space of the vehicle, so that the mounting points at the two ends of the folding roof assembly are aligned with the mounting points at the two C-pillars of the vehicle body, facilitating subsequent installation.

[0041] Specifically, the first positioning assembly 20 comprises at least one pair of first positioning components 21 arranged on one side of the frame 10 along the width direction 60 of the automobile, and each first positioning component 21 comprises a vertical positioning member 22 fixedly installed on the frame 10, and the first positioning component 21 is connected with the front windshield cross beam of the automobile by inserting the vertical positioning member 22 into the positioning hole on the front windshield cross beam of the automobile. Of course, a clamping groove can also be arranged on the front windshield cross beam of the automobile, and the vertical positioning member 22 is clamped into the clamping groove to achieve the connection between the two. It should be understood that the number of first positioning components 21 can be one pair, two pairs, three pairs, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0042] More specifically, the second positioning assembly 30 comprises a pair of second positioning components 31 which can be placed in the rear passenger space of the automobile, and an auxiliary support component 32 fixedly installed on the other side of the frame 10 and connectable with the rear side wall of the automobile body. When the folding roof positioning tool 1 needs to be placed on the top of the automobile body, the auxiliary support component 32 can be connected with the rear side wall of the automobile body to provide a support point for the folding roof positioning tool 1, thereby ensuring the reliability of use. Each second positioning component 31 comprises a mounting seat 33 fixedly installed on the other side of the frame 10, and a transverse positioning member 34 arranged on the mounting seat 33 and slidable along the width direction 60. When the two transverse positioning members 34 move away from each other along the width direction 60, the end portions of the two transverse positioning members 34 can extend beyond the end edge of the other side of the frame 10.

[0043] As described above, the working principle of the folding top positioning tool 1 is as follows: when the folding top assembly is installed on the convertible, the folding top assembly is placed in the rear passenger compartment of the vehicle, the folding top positioning tool 1 is placed on the top of the vehicle body in the height direction 70 of the vehicle, the vertical positioning member 22 is connected with the front windshield beam of the vehicle, and the auxiliary supporting part 32 is connected with the rear side wall of the vehicle, so that the folding top positioning tool 1 is fixedly installed on the vehicle roof position, the two transverse positioning members 34 of the pair of second positioning parts 31 are connected with the two connecting members arranged at the two ends of the folding top assembly along the width direction 60 of the vehicle, then the two transverse positioning members 34 are moved away from each other along the width direction 60, so that the folding top assembly is unfolded until the folding top assembly is fitted with the installation position of the vehicle body, the mounting points at the two ends of the folding top assembly are corresponded with the mounting points on the two C pillars of the vehicle body one by one, then the workers install the folding top assembly to the installation position of the vehicle body, such as by fixing bolts; in this process, the installation position of the folding top assembly is fitted with the installation position of the vehicle body in advance by using the folding top positioning tool 1, and each mounting point on the folding top assembly is aligned with each mounting point on the vehicle body, and then fixed by fixing bolts, so that the folding top assembly has no positional deviation when installed on the vehicle body, thereby avoiding the problems of subsequent folding top assembly in use, such as distortion, inability to open and close, and poor sealing.

[0044] Further, when the folding top assembly is installed, the folding top is unfolded by moving the two transverse positioning members 34 away from each other along the width direction 60, until the folding top assembly is fitted with the installation position of the vehicle body, the mounting points at the two ends of the folding top assembly are corresponded with the mounting points on the two C pillars of the vehicle body one by one, and the workers do not need to cooperate with each other when installing the folding top assembly on the vehicle body, such as one person lifting the folding top and the other person fixing it one by one, so the folding top positioning tool 1 has the advantage of convenient use.

[0045] It should be understood that the mounting points of the folding top assembly and the vehicle body can be 2, 4, 6, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0046] Further, in an implementable embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 the setting mode of the rack 10 can be set as follows: a front support 11 extending along the width direction 60 of the vehicle is arranged on one side of the rack 10, a rear support 12 extending along the width direction 60 of the vehicle is arranged on the other side of the rack 10, at least one side support 13 is arranged between the front support 11 and the rear support 12, one end of the side support 13 is fixedly connected with the rear support 12, the other end extends along the length direction 70 of the vehicle and is fixedly connected with the front support 11; and it should be understood that the number of side supports 13 can be one, two, three, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0047] Further, as shown in the following, the structure and arrangement of the first positioning assembly 20 are further described. Figures 1-3

[0048] In an implementable embodiment, in the width direction 60, the first positioning assembly 20 comprises a pair of first positioning components 21 and a clamping component 24, the pair of first positioning components 21 are respectively fixedly arranged at the two ends of the front support 11 and located on the same side wall of the front support 11; and the vertical positioning member 22 of each first positioning component 21 extends from the front support 11 along the height direction 70 of the automobile. One end of the clamping component 24 is fixedly connected with one side wall of the front support 11, and the other end extends along the height direction 70 for fixed connection with the front cross beam of the automobile; and along the width direction 60, the clamping component 24 is located on the center point of the front support 11, and the clamping component 24 and the first positioning component 21 are located on the same side wall of the front support 11.

[0049] Specifically, when using the folding roof positioning tool 1, the two ends of the front support 11 can be installed on the front windshield cross beam of the automobile through the two vertical positioning members 22 of the pair of first positioning components 21, and the center position of the front support 11 can be fixed on the front support 11 through the clamping component 24, so that the folding roof positioning tool 1 cannot easily shake, and the auxiliary supporting component 32 is lapped on the rear quarter panel of the vehicle body, so that the folding roof positioning tool 1 is stably installed on the top position of the vehicle body through multiple points to avoid the risk of shaking during use.

[0050] More specifically, the clamping component 24 can be provided as a combination mechanism of a clamping jaw, a fixed clamping block, a clamping block, and a magnetic connection block, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0051] Optionally, in an implementable embodiment, since the folding roof assembly can be unfolded or folded when installed on the vehicle body, the lock catch 2 installed on the front windshield cross beam of the automobile is needed to fix it when unfolded; therefore, each first positioning component 21 further comprises a magnetic attraction member 23, so that when the lock catch 2 is installed on the front windshield cross beam of the automobile, the lock catch 2 can be adsorbed by the magnetic attraction member 23 to limit its position in the height direction 70 of the automobile, so that it is not easy to shake; and along the width direction 60, the vertical positioning member 22 and the magnetic attraction member 23 are arranged on the same side wall of the front support 11, and one end of the vertical positioning member 22 and the magnetic attraction member 23 are fixedly connected with the front support 11, and the other end extends in the same direction along the height direction 70 of the automobile.

[0052] Further, as shown in the following, the structure and arrangement of the first positioning assembly 20 are further described. Figure 3 ​As shown, in each first positioning component 21, each magnetic component 23 includes a connecting seat 202 and a magnetic block 203, and each vertical positioning component 22 includes a base 200 and a vertical positioning pin 201. The connecting seat 202 and the base 200 are both fixedly installed on one side wall of the front bracket 11. One end of the magnetic block 203 is fixedly connected to the base 200, and one end of the vertical positioning pin 201 is fixedly connected to the base 200. The other ends of the magnetic block 203 and the vertical positioning pin 201 both extend in a direction away from the front bracket 11.

[0053] Specifically, when the folding roof positioning fixture 1 is installed on the top of the vehicle body, the vertical positioning pin 201 is inserted into the positioning hole on the front windshield crossbeam to limit the position of the front bracket 11; the latch 2 ( Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, during installation, since there is an installation gap for the latch 2 on the front windshield crossbeam of the car, and both ends of the front bracket 11 are equipped with vertical positioning pins 201, the mounting holes on the latch 2 can be inserted into the positioning pins from bottom to top in the height direction 70 of the car, thereby limiting the latch 2 in the width direction 60 of the car. Then, the position of the latch 2 in the height direction 70 of the car is adjusted, and the latch 2 is attracted by the magnetic block 203, thereby limiting the position of the latch 2 in the height direction 70 of the car. Finally, the latch 2 is locked in the length direction 80 of the car by bolt fasteners, so that the latch 2 is accurately installed in the designated position on the windshield crossbeam of the car, which facilitates accurate positioning of the subsequent folding roof assembly when unfolded and reduces the risk of poor sealing.

[0054] Furthermore, in one feasible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the folding roof positioning fixture 1 of the car also includes a third positioning component 40 installed on the side bracket 13. The side bracket 13 is set as a pair, and the pair of side brackets 13 are spaced apart along the width direction 60. One end of each side bracket is fixedly connected to the front bracket 11, and the other end of each side bracket extends along the length direction 80 and is fixedly connected to the rear bracket 12. The third positioning component 40 includes a pair of third positioning parts 41. Each pair of third positioning parts 41 is arranged opposite to each other and is fixedly connected to a pair of side brackets 13 respectively, for fitting against their respective corresponding sides of the car body.

[0055] Specifically, when the folding roof positioning fixture 1 is installed on the top of the vehicle body, it can be determined that the folding roof positioning fixture 1 is accurately positioned by observing that each pair of third positioning components 41 fits against their respective corresponding vehicle body side and that each pair of first positioning components 21 is not raised. This achieves the purpose of accurately positioning the folding roof positioning fixture 1.

[0056] More specifically, the third positioning component 41 comprises a connecting frame 400 and a positioning block 401, and the connecting frames 400 of each pair of third positioning components 41 are away from each other along the width direction 60 of the automobile, one end of the connecting frame 400 is fixedly connected to the side support 13, and the other end extends along the width direction 60, so that the connecting frame 400 extends to the periphery of the side of the automobile body, facilitating the connection of the third positioning component 41 with the periphery of the corresponding side of the automobile body; one end of the positioning block 401 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting frame 400, and the other end extends along the height direction 70, for abutting with the side of the automobile body; and the end face of the positioning block 401 and the other end of the magnetic block 203 are both contoured surfaces, so that the positioning block 401 can adapt to the shape of the side of the automobile body, and the magnetic block 203 can adapt to the shape of the side wall of the lock 2.

[0057] More specifically, when the folding roof positioning tool 1 is installed on the top of the automobile body, one of the positioning blocks 401 of a pair of third positioning components 41 abuts with the side of the automobile body in the width direction 60 of the automobile, and the other positioning block 401 of the pair of third positioning components 41 abuts with the other side of the automobile body, and neither of them is lifted, achieving the purpose of accurate positioning of the folding roof positioning tool 1. Preferably, the positioning block 401 is made of magnetic material, which can avoid the risk of repositioning of the folding roof positioning tool 1 due to accidental touch by the worker when the positioning block 401 abuts with the side of the automobile body.

[0058] Further, as shown in Figure 1 , and Figures 4-6 , the structure and arrangement of the second positioning assembly 30 are further described below.

[0059] Alternatively, in an implementable embodiment, a pair of second positioning components 31 are respectively installed on the two ends of the rear support 12; and in each second positioning component 31, the mounting seat 33 is fixedly installed on one side wall of the rear support 12, and the transverse positioning member 34 is slidingly connected to the side wall of the mounting seat 33 and can slidingly extend out of the end of the rear support 12 along the width direction 60; the transverse positioning member 34 can move along the width direction 60 of the automobile, so that the second positioning component 31 can be placed into the rear passenger space of the automobile.

[0060] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the transverse positioning member 34 comprises a moving frame 300, a slide rail 301 and a plurality of transverse positioning pins 302; wherein the slide rail 301 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting seat 33 along the width direction 60, the slide block of the moving frame 300 is adapted to the slide rail 301, the moving frame 300 is slidably connected to the slide rail 301 through the slide block, one end of the plurality of transverse positioning pins 302 is arranged on the moving frame 300 in a spaced manner and is fixedly connected to the moving frame 300, and the other end extends away from the moving frame 300 along the width direction 60. It should be understood that the number of the plurality of transverse positioning pins 302 can be 2, 3, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0061] More specifically, since the folding top assembly is a non-rigid overall structure, the distance between the two sides of the folding top assembly will be shortened inwardly due to the elastic reason of the framework along the width direction 60 of the automobile before being installed, therefore, after the folding top positioning tool 1 is installed in place through the first positioning assembly 20 and the third positioning assembly 40, the two transverse positioning members 34 are correspondingly connected to the two ends of the folding top assembly through the plurality of transverse positioning pins 302; then, the moving frame 300 is moved to drive the folding top assembly to expand along the width direction 60 of the automobile until the folding top assembly is attached to the mounting position of the automobile body, so as to realize accurate positioning of the folding top assembly, and the plurality of transverse positioning pins 302 can better bear and position the folding top assembly, avoiding the transverse positioning pins 302 from being pulled out or deviating when being inserted into the positioning holes on the C pillars of the automobile body.

[0062] It should be understood that the connection mode of the transverse positioning pin 302 and the folding top assembly can be that the two ends of the folding top assembly are provided with corresponding inverted "U"-shaped insertion grooves, and the transverse positioning pin 302 is inserted into the inverted "U"-shaped insertion groove, so as to accurately position the folding top assembly, so that the folding top assembly will not shake during movement and is accurately positioned on the two C pillars at the rear of the automobile body.

[0063] Optionally, in an implementable embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 As shown, the second positioning assembly 30 further comprises an auxiliary supporting member 32, the auxiliary supporting member 32 is provided as a supporting frame 303, one end of the supporting frame 303 is fixedly connected to the rear support 12, and the other end extends away from the front support 11 along the length direction 80; and along the width direction 60, the supporting frame 303 is located at the center point of the rear support 12, so that after the rear support 12 is connected to the side wall at the rear of the automobile body, the supporting frame 303 has the same supporting effect on the pair of second positioning members 31, preventing the risk of tilting of the folding top positioning tool 1;

[0064] Specifically, the other end of the support frame 303 is provided with a profiled cross section, which faces the rear side wall of the vehicle body, so that the support frame 303 has a larger contact area with the rear side wall of the vehicle body, and has a better support effect.

[0065] Further, in an implementable embodiment, as shown in the drawings, in order to facilitate the taking of the folding roof positioning tool 1, the folding roof positioning tool 1 of the vehicle further comprises a plurality of handle components 50, each of which is fixedly installed on the rack 10, and at least one of the plurality of handle components 50 is fixedly installed on the front support 11, and at least one of the plurality of handle components 50 is fixedly installed on the rear support 12.
