[0002] With the continuous development and progress of the automotive packaging industry, higher requirements have been placed on packaging design, cost, and transportation. Manufacturers all hope to minimize input, transportation, and return costs while ensuring product integrity and strength.

[0003] The two long sides of the automotive sunroof assembly are upward-curving arc segments, while the two short sides are outward-curving arc segments, making it an irregularly shaped structure. The product is also relatively heavy, averaging 150kg, and its fragile texture makes its surface easily scratched. Traditional transportation methods using a metal frame and EPP packaging have low loading rates and are prone to scratching the sunroof assembly during loading and unloading, requiring manual repairs and failing to effectively meet the needs of OEMs.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a vehicle that can efficiently and safely load and unload vehicle sunroof assemblies is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a vehicle sunroof assembly loading and unloading vehicle carrier. This carrier has a simple structure, low processing cost, and can efficiently and safely transport vehicle sunroof assemblies, thus meeting the needs of OEMs.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: a vehicle sunroof assembly loading and unloading vehicle, including a base, on which a row of three columns are respectively arranged on the two long sides of the base, spaced apart along the length of the base; on which two rows of two support columns are respectively arranged on the two short sides of the base, spaced apart and located between the two rows of columns; on each column, multiple support blocks are hinged at intervals along the height direction, the center of gravity of the support block is located outside the hinge point, the inner end of the support block is a straight segment, and the outer end is an upwardly curved segment; and a limit post is provided above the hinge point of the corresponding support block to limit the inner end of the support block from extending horizontally after being compressed; a rubber block is fixedly provided on the inner side wall of each support column, and the inner side of the rubber block is provided with opening slots spaced apart along the height direction, corresponding to the short side of the vehicle sunroof assembly.

[0007] The top surface and inner wall of the column are provided with a polyurethane protective layer.

[0008] The top of the inner wall of the column is set as a slope, connecting the top surface of the column and the inner wall.

[0009] The inner end of the support block is wrapped with a polyurethane protective sleeve.

[0010] The base includes four uprights arranged in a matrix, and a frame connecting the four uprights. The bottom of the uprights is provided with inverted support feet. The bottom surface of the frame is provided with a positioning frame for inserting forklift forks. One short side of the bottom surface of the frame is provided with directional wheels at both ends, and the other short side is provided with omnidirectional wheels at both ends. A traction hook is provided in the middle of one short side of the frame.

[0011] The cross-section of the opening groove is a trapezoidal structure with a wide opening and a narrow bottom.

[0012] Each column has a through hole at the position of the corresponding limiting column, and the limiting column is inserted into the through hole to form a detachable connection.

[0013] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The vehicle sunroof assembly loading and unloading vehicle includes a base. A row of three columns is arranged on each of the two long sides of the base, spaced apart along the length of the base, corresponding to the long side of the vehicle sunroof assembly. Two rows of two support columns are arranged on each of the two short sides of the base, spaced apart and located between the two rows of columns, corresponding to the short side of the vehicle sunroof assembly. Multiple support blocks are hinged at intervals along the height direction on each column. The center of gravity of the support block is located outside the hinge point. The inner end of the support block is a straight segment, and the outer end is an upwardly curved segment. A limit post is provided above the hinge point of the corresponding support block to restrict the inner end of the support block from extending horizontally under pressure. When the support block is unloaded, it flips under its own weight, with the inner end facing upward and the outer end downward, leaving space for loading or unloading the vehicle sunroof assembly and preventing collisions to the vehicle sunroof assembly. When the vehicle sunroof assembly is loaded onto the corresponding support block, the inward end of the support block rests on the corresponding position along the length of the sunroof assembly, while the outward end is limited by a limiting post, keeping the inward end horizontal. This allows the sunroof assembly to be suspended and supported on the corresponding support block. Multiple sunroof assemblies are overlapped at intervals along the height direction on different support blocks, effectively improving the transportation efficiency of the sunroof assembly and ensuring its safety. Each support post has a rubber block fixedly installed on its inner wall. The inner surface of each rubber block has openings at intervals along the height direction, corresponding to the short side of the sunroof assembly, used to limit the sunroof assembly along its length, ensuring its safety.

[0015] 2. The top surface and inner wall of the pillar are provided with a polyurethane protective layer, and the inner end of the support block is wrapped with a polyurethane protective sleeve. That is, the parts that come into contact with the sunroof assembly are all provided with a protective layer to avoid scratching the sunroof assembly and to ensure the safety of the sunroof assembly.

[0016] 3. The top of the inner wall of the column is set as a slope, connecting the top surface of the column and the inner wall. This can not only ensure the stability of the polyurethane protective layer on the column, but also improve the fault tolerance rate when loading the car sunroof assembly.

[0017] 4. The cross-section of the opening groove is a trapezoidal structure with a wide opening and a narrow bottom, which facilitates the processing of the opening groove and also improves the adaptability to automotive sunroof assemblies.

[0018] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] See Figures 1 to 3This is a specific embodiment of a vehicle sunroof assembly loading and unloading vehicle. The vehicle sunroof assembly loading and unloading vehicle includes a base 1, on which a row of three columns 2 are respectively arranged on the two long sides of the base 1, spaced apart along the length of the base. On the two short sides of the base, two rows of two support columns 3 are respectively arranged, spaced apart and located between the two rows of columns. In this embodiment, the base 1 includes four uprights 11 arranged in a matrix, and a frame 12 connecting the four uprights. The bottom of the uprights is provided with inverted support feet 13. The bottom surface of the frame is provided with a positioning frame 14 for forklift forks to insert into the middle. One short side of the bottom surface of the frame is provided with directional wheels at both ends, and the other short side is provided with universal wheels at both ends. A traction hook 15 is provided in the middle of one short side of the frame. Each of the columns 2 is provided with a plurality of support blocks 4 at intervals along the height direction. In this embodiment, six support blocks are provided on one column. The support blocks of corresponding height are used to support the same car sunroof assembly. Obviously, the height of the support block on the middle column is higher than the height of the support blocks on both sides, which is adapted to the arc of the length of the car sunroof assembly. The center of gravity of the support block 4 is located outside the hinge point. The inner end of the support block is a straight segment, and the outer end is an upwardly curved segment. A limit post 5 is provided above the hinge point of the corresponding support block to limit the extension of the inner end of the support block in the horizontal direction after being compressed. In this embodiment, a polyurethane protective layer is provided on the top surface and inner sidewall of the column 2. In order to ensure the stability of the polyurethane protective layer, the top of the inner sidewall of the column 2 is set as a slope to connect the top surface and the inner sidewall of the column. In addition, the inner end of the support block 4 is wrapped with a polyurethane protective sleeve. In order to meet the actual needs, a through hole 8 is provided at the position of the limit post of each column. The limit post 5 is inserted into the through hole 8 to form a detachable connection. A rubber block 6 is fixedly provided on the inner sidewall of each support column 3. The distance between two rubber blocks is greater than the length of the car sunroof assembly. An opening groove 7 is provided at intervals along the height direction on the inner side of the rubber block 6, corresponding to the short side of the vehicle sunroof assembly. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the opening groove 7 is a trapezoidal structure with a wide opening and a narrow bottom.

[0024] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Under no-load conditions, the inward end of the support block faces upward and the outward end faces downward. Using a special tool, the sunroof assembly is transferred to the top layer of support blocks, with the long side of the sunroof assembly supported on the inward end of the corresponding support block, until the support block is stopped by a limiting post. The remaining sunroof assemblies are then placed in sequence, overlapping each other, to complete the sunroof loading operation. After being transferred into place, the top layer of sunroof assemblies is transferred using the same special tool. Once the top layer of support blocks loses its load, they reset. The lower layer of sunroof assemblies are then transferred sequentially to complete the sunroof unloading operation.
