Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a roof glass mounting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] When installing glass components such as car windows, roofs, and windshields, precise positioning is crucial to ensure a high-precision fit between the glass and surrounding body parts. This prevents issues like slight misalignment or gaps between the glass and the body, while also maintaining the vehicle's aesthetic appeal and refined appearance. However, when installing roof glass (referring to the sunroof), there's a lack of direct positioning on the vehicle body: the gap between the sunroof mounting frame and the roof glass is relatively large, and there's no sheet metal surface for direct contact with the glass side. This creates space that can easily cause the glass to wobble or tilt, making it difficult to adjust the glass and accurately position it during installation.

[0003] If the glass position is adjusted manually, multiple people are needed to coordinate and measure and position it at multiple points around the circumference of the glass to achieve a good result, which is slow. If a robotic arm is used to grab the glass and a vision robot scans the car body to select preset coordinate positioning points for automatic installation, the preset coordinate positioning points may not be accurate due to manufacturing and processing errors of the guide rails, frame and car body, as well as relative position errors between them. This may not meet the matching requirements between the roof glass and surrounding components, and therefore it is difficult to ensure that there are no deviations, making it difficult to meet the requirements for precise glass installation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application aims to provide a roof glass installation fixture. By using this fixture, the installation position of the roof glass can be positioned with high precision, so that the roof glass is straight and installed accurately. At the same time, it is easy to operate, making the installation process simple and quick.

[0005] This application provides a roof glass mounting fixture, suitable for installing roof glass, including:

[0006] The first stop block is provided with two sets that can be respectively connected to the two side panels of the sunroof mounting frame, and has a limiting surface for insertion into the inner side of the side panel. The limiting surfaces of the two sets of the first stop blocks face each other to form a limiting guide groove for inserting the roof glass and guiding the roof glass to move forward, so as to limit the position of the roof glass in the width direction of the vehicle body.

[0007] The second stop block can be connected to the front crossbeam of the sunroof mounting frame and has a stop surface that abuts against the roof glass in the length direction of the vehicle body to position the roof glass in the length direction of the vehicle body.

[0008] In one possible implementation, each group of first blocks includes at least two first blocks arranged along the sidewall;

[0009] And / or, at least two of the second blocks form a group, and a group of the second blocks are arranged and connected along the front crossbeam.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the first stop has a contoured positioning surface that fits against the top surface of the side panel, the first stop has a side plate, the inner wall of the side plate forms a contoured stop surface for fitting against the inner surface of the side panel, and the outer wall of the side plate at least partially forms the limiting surface; the limiting surface is contoured to the inner surface of the side panel.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the side plate includes a stop positioning portion and a lower limit portion in the height direction, the outer wall of the lower limit portion belongs to the limiting surface, and the area of ​​the lower limit portion is smaller than that of the stop positioning portion.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the first stop has a first connecting portion connected to the side enclosure, the first connecting portion including at least one of a connecting pin, a magnetic element, and a fastening pin.

[0013] And / or, the second stop is further provided with a second connecting part connected to the front crossbeam, the second connecting part including at least one of a connecting pin, a magnetic element, and a fastening pin.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the front crossbeam is provided with a connection hole for fastening the windshield, and the second block has a positioning pin that is positioned and connected to the connection hole.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the stop surface is an arc surface.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the second stop has multiple sets, and the multiple sets of the second stop have different sizes.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the second stop block has a positioning part that is positioned and connected to the front crossbeam; in the plurality of second stop blocks, the distance between the stop surface and the positioning part of each group is different, or the distance between the stop surface and the front crossbeam in the length direction of the vehicle body is different.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the first stop and / or the second stop is provided with a handle or grip;

[0019] And / or, the first stop block and / or the second stop block are provided with markings.

[0020] The roof glass installation fixture provided in this application connects two sets of first stops to the side panels of the sunroof mounting frame, forming a limiting guide groove with the limiting surfaces on the two sets of first stops. This groove centers and aligns the roof glass from both sides, guiding it to move linearly along the length of the vehicle body. The installation position of the roof glass along the length of the vehicle is further defined by a stop on a second stop connected to the front crossbeam. During installation, the roof glass is placed between the two sets of first stops, i.e., within the limiting guide groove, and moves forward along the groove until it abuts against the stop surface of the second stop, thus reaching the correct installation position. The roof glass is then bonded to the sunroof mounting frame, allowing for high-precision installation.

[0021] Thus, the two sets of first stops ensure good centering of the roof glass in the width direction of the vehicle body, without any tilting or deflection. The second stops ensure the position of the roof glass in the length direction of the vehicle body. Therefore, the roof glass installation fixture provided in this application can effectively and accurately define the installation position of the roof glass, enabling the roof glass to be installed accurately and without tilting. At the same time, the fixture is connected to the vehicle body during use and can be removed after use, which is convenient for operation and makes the installation process of the roof glass simple and quick.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] The roof glass, also known as the vehicle's panoramic sunroof, needs to be installed within a sunroof mounting frame. The panoramic sunroof mounting frame is a hollow rectangular or square frame, including a front crossbeam, two side panels, and a rear crossbeam. If the roof glass covers the entire roof, the panoramic sunroof mounting frame consists of the vehicle's front roof crossbeam (connecting to the windshield), the top side panels of the vehicle's side panels, and the rear roof crossbeam. When installing the roof glass, attention must be paid to its relative position to the windshield.

[0034] The sunroof mounting frame is designed for the embedded installation of the roof glass. Mounting plates extend from the side walls of the frame to lay and adhere the roof glass. However, for ease of installation and to accommodate sealing strips, the inner dimensions of the sunroof mounting frame are larger than the roof glass. If the roof glass is not precisely positioned during installation, it will be misaligned or tilted in the width direction of the vehicle (e.g., the front of the roof glass is tilted to the left, and the rear is tilted to the right). This can easily lead to positional discrepancies with surrounding components, such as gaps. Taking a roof glass that covers the entire roof as an example, if it is misaligned, not only will the gap between the roof glass and the side walls be uneven, but its head will also fail to seamlessly connect with the windshield, affecting quality and the vehicle's appearance.

[0035] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a roof glass installation fixture (hereinafter referred to as fixture), which is suitable for installing roof glass. The fixture aims to facilitate high-precision positioning of the roof glass, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the roof glass and achieving high-precision position matching between the roof glass and surrounding related components.

[0036] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-8The tooling provided in this application is suitable for connection to the sunroof mounting frame to position the installation position of the roof glass 1. The tooling includes a second stop 5 and a first stop 4. Two sets of first stop 4 are provided, and the two sets of first stop 4 can be connected to the two side panels 3 of the sunroof mounting frame respectively. The first stop 4 has a limiting surface 402 for insertion into the inside of the side panel 3. The two sets of first stop 4 are arranged opposite each other, and the limiting surfaces 402 of the two sets of first stop 4 face each other to form a limiting guide groove. The limiting guide groove allows the roof glass 1 to be inserted and guides the roof glass 1 to move along the length direction of the vehicle body, thereby limiting the position of the roof glass 1 in the width direction of the vehicle body, so that the roof glass 1 moves in a straight line in a centered manner in the width direction of the vehicle body. When it moves to the most needed position in the length direction of the vehicle body, it still maintains a centered height and is straight, without overall tilt or deviation at the front and rear.

[0037] The second stop block 5 can be connected to the front crossbeam 2 of the sunroof mounting frame and has a stop surface 501. The stop surface 501 is used to abut against the roof glass 1 in the length direction of the vehicle body to position the roof glass 1 in the length direction of the vehicle body. In actual use, the connection position of the second stop block 5 on the front crossbeam 2 can be determined according to the position of the surrounding related components that the roof glass 1 needs to cooperate with or connect to. The size of the second stop block 5, or the position of the stop surface 501, will also be determined according to the position of the surrounding related components and the required actual position of the roof glass 1. Thus, when the roof glass 1 abuts against the stop surface 501 in the length direction of the vehicle body, it means that the required installation position in the length direction of the vehicle body has been achieved.

[0038] As can be seen, this fixture connects two sets of first stops 4 to the side panels 3 of the sunroof mounting frame, forming a limiting guide groove with the limiting surfaces 402 on the two sets of first stops 4. This groove centers and aligns the roof glass 1 from both sides, guiding it to move linearly along the length of the vehicle body. The installation position of the roof glass 1 along the length of the vehicle body is limited by the stop of the second stop 5 connected to the front crossbeam 2. During installation, the roof glass 1 is placed between the two sets of first stops 4, i.e., within the limiting guide groove, and moves forward along the groove until it abuts against the stop surface 501 of the second stop 5, thus reaching the correct and safe position. Then, the roof glass 1 is pressed down to adhere it to the sunroof mounting frame, thus installing the roof glass 1 with high precision.

[0039] With this configuration, the roof glass 1 installation fixture provided in this application ensures good centering of the roof glass 1 in the width direction of the vehicle body through two sets of first stops 4, without any tilting or deflection at the front or rear. The second stops 5 ensure the position of the roof glass 1 in the length direction of the vehicle body. Thus, the roof glass 1 installation fixture provided in this application can accurately and well define the installation position of the roof glass 1, enabling the roof glass 1 to be installed accurately and without tilting. At the same time, the fixture is connected to the vehicle body during use and can be removed after use, which is convenient for operation and makes the installation process of the roof glass 1 simple and quick.

[0040] Thus, through the two sets of first stops 4, the roof glass 1 is well centered in the width direction of the vehicle body, without any tilting or deflection. The second stop 5 ensures the position of the roof glass 1 in the length direction of the vehicle body. Therefore, the roof glass 1 installation fixture provided in this application can well and accurately define the installation position of the roof glass 1, so that the roof glass 1 can be installed accurately with a straight position and without tilting. At the same time, the fixture is connected to the vehicle body during use and can be removed after use, which is convenient for operation and makes the installation process of the roof glass 1 simple and quick.

[0041] In each group of first blocks 4, the number of first blocks 4 can be two or more. The first blocks 4 in the same group are arranged on the side panel 3 along the length of the vehicle body, and the two groups of first blocks 4 are arranged opposite each other in the width direction of the vehicle body, thus forming a multi-point limiting and multi-point guiding limiting groove. This ensures that the roof glass 1 can be effectively limited and guided along the entire length of the roof, ensuring the centering and straightness of the roof glass 1 without tilting, and ensuring the positioning accuracy of the roof glass 1 in the width direction of the vehicle body.

[0042] The first stop 4 has a first connecting part that connects to the side panel 3. The first connecting part includes at least one of a connecting pin, a magnetic element, and a fastening pin. The first connecting part ensures a secure connection between the first stop 4 and the side panel 3. Preferably, the first connecting part is a magnetic element, so that there is no need to open an additional connecting hole on the side panel 3, and it is also convenient to perform the disassembly and assembly of the first stop 4.

[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first stop block 4 has a contoured positioning surface 401 that conforms to the top surface of the side panel 3. For example, the bottom wall of the main body of the first stop block 4 forms the contoured positioning surface 401. This ensures that the first stop block 4 fits snugly against the side panel 3, preventing the first stop block 4 from tilting due to insufficient fit, thus affecting the accurate positioning of the roof glass 1. Simultaneously, the first stop block 4 also has a side plate 41. The inner wall of the side plate 41 forms a contoured stop surface 501 for conforming to the inner side surface of the side panel 3, and the outer wall of the side plate 41 has at least a partial limiting surface 402. The limiting surface 402 is also contoured to the inner side surface of the side panel 3, making the installation of the roof glass 1 more closely match the actual vehicle body.

[0044] When the first stop block 4 is installed on the side wall 3, the first stop block 4 can be tightly fitted to the side wall 3 by the positioning of the contour positioning surface 401 and the stop of the side plate 41, without any looseness, skewing or other offset. In addition, the stable connection of the connecting part can effectively fix the first stop block 4, thereby effectively ensuring the contour accuracy of the limiting surface 402.

[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the side panel 41 includes a stop positioning part 411 and a lower limit part 412 in the vehicle height direction. The outer wall of the lower limit part 412 belongs to the limiting surface 402, and the area of ​​the lower limit part 412 is smaller than that of the stop positioning part 411. For example, the stop positioning part 411 is strip-shaped and has the same or substantially the same length as the main body of the first stop block 4, while the lower limit part 412 is a small plate extending downward from the bottom partial edge of the stop positioning part 411.

[0046] In this way, the limiting and guiding function of the roof glass 1 can be guaranteed, and the high-precision bonding of the entire contouring area due to its large size can be avoided, which would affect the contouring accuracy. At the same time, the weight of the first stop block 4 can be reduced, which is beneficial to use and reduces costs.

[0047] The first stop block 4 may be equipped with a handle 51 or a grip 42 to make it easier to use.

[0048] The second stop 5 is connected to the front crossbeam 2 and is used to stop the roof glass 1 from moving linearly in the two sets of first stop 4, thereby limiting the position of the roof glass 1 in the length direction of the vehicle body.

[0049] The second stop 5 can be two or more to form a group. The second stop 5 in the same group are arranged and connected along the length of the front crossbeam 2, with multiple points of limiting and stopping, which can further improve the non-skewed positioning of the roof glass 1.

[0050] The stop surface 501 on the second stop block 5 can be curved. In this way, the roof glass 1 and the stop surface 501 are in line contact. The multi-point positioning through two or more stop surfaces 501 is more accurate than the surface-to-surface positioning, which may be subject to larger processing errors.

[0051] The second stop 5 is provided with a second connecting part connected to the front crossbeam 2. The second connecting part includes at least one of a connecting pin, a magnetic attractor, and a fastening nail. Preferably, the second connecting part is a magnetic attractor.

[0052] Furthermore, the front crossbeam 2 is provided with a connecting hole for fastening the windshield, and the second stop 5 has a positioning pin 52 that is positioned and connected to the connecting hole. Thus, through the positioning of the pin hole, the position of the second stop 5, or the stop surface 501, is related to the position of the windshield. In other words, through the positioning connection of the positioning pin 52 and the connecting hole, the installation position of the roof glass 1 can be limited according to the installation position of the windshield and the matching requirements of the windshield and the roof glass 1. Therefore, the position of the roof glass 1 can be positioned more accurately, making the connection between the roof glass 1 and the windshield more precise, ensuring uniform joint gaps, and guaranteeing installation quality and aesthetic refinement.

[0053] Furthermore, the second stop block 5 has multiple sets, and these sets of second stop blocks 5 have different dimensions. For example, the second stop block 5 has a positioning part connected to the front crossbeam 2; in the multiple sets of second stop blocks 5, the distance between each set of stop surfaces 501 and the first positioning connection part is different, or in other words, the various stop surfaces 501 protrude from the front crossbeam 2 by different dimensions in the vehicle body length direction. Thus, according to the different dimensional matching requirements of the windshield and roof glass 1 during actual installation, different sets of second stop blocks 5 can be used to limit the actual installation position of the roof glass 1 according to the actual installation requirements, without the need for additional matching and adjustment using other cumbersome tools.

[0054] The number of groups of the second block 5 can be determined according to the actual number of installation positions of the roof glass 1 in the length direction of the vehicle body.

[0055] The second stop 5 may be provided with a handle 51 or a grip 42.

[0056] The first stop block 4 can also be marked. For example, there are two sets of first stop blocks 4, and each set contains at least two first stop blocks 4. Each first stop block 4 can be marked according to its connection position on the vehicle body to make it distinguishable, so that the operator can quickly distinguish it and prevent confusion from affecting the positioning.

[0057] The second stop 5 can also be marked to distinguish the second stop 5 of different components and different sizes, which can also help operators to quickly distinguish them and prevent confusion from affecting positioning.
