Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive roof transfer technology, and more specifically, to a transfer rack for automotive interior roofs. Background Technology
[0002] In the automobile manufacturing and assembly process, the car roof is a key component of the interior parts, serving functions such as beautifying the interior space and providing sound and heat insulation. Modern car designs all include sunroofs, which add a special structure to the car roof, increasing the complexity of the design and posing new challenges for the transportation of the roof. This requires that the roof transportation tools be designed to avoid damaging sensitive areas of the roof while ensuring the overall stability of the roof.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN217456071U discloses a car roof transfer frame, which places the car roof in a placement cavity and then presses and fixes the car roof with a stop bar, thereby greatly improving the stability of the car roof during the transfer process and avoiding sliding and impact during the movement of the transfer frame.
[0004] The applicant believes that while the aforementioned patents provide effective protection for the transportation of car roofs, the following problems exist in practical use: Considering the special shape and sunroof design of car roofs, there is actually a certain potential for stacking and assembly among multiple roofs. However, the aforementioned patents completely ignore this potential, or fail to effectively balance the relationship between stacking and assembly and transportation safety in their design. Especially when limiting mechanisms are installed at each roof, although this approach can enhance the stability of the roof during transportation, it also significantly increases the complexity and cost of the transportation tools, while limiting the possibility of stacking and assembly, resulting in a decrease in the number of roofs transported at one time, thus affecting the overall operational efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a transfer rack for automotive interior headliners. It allows multiple automotive headliners to be stacked and assembled without sacrificing the safety of headliner transfer. The key to this design is that it not only considers the impact of the sunroof position on the design of the transfer tool, but also makes full use of the potential for stacking and assembling automotive headliners. Furthermore, the limiting mechanism only needs to be installed at the end of the suspension rod, without the need for additional installation between pairs of headliners. This significantly reduces the overall cost of the operating equipment while increasing the number of headliners that can be transferred at one time, thus helping to improve the overall transfer efficiency.

[0040] Example:
[0041] Please see Figure 1A transfer frame for automotive interior headliners includes a transfer base 1. A longitudinal support rod 2 is fixedly connected to the upper geometric center of the transfer base 1. A transverse support rod 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the longitudinal support rod 2. Auxiliary support blocks 14 are welded to both sides of the connection between the longitudinal support rod 2 and the transverse support rod 3. The auxiliary support blocks 14 are triangular in shape and are used to improve the overall strength of the equipment and distribute the force on the transverse support rod 3 after the automotive headliner is placed. Suspension rods 4 are fixedly connected to both ends of the transverse support rod 3. A pair of suspended suspension rods 4 form a suspension frame for suspending the automotive interior headliner. The spacing between the pair of suspension rods 4 matches the sunroof opening specifications of the automotive interior headliner. The bracket provides space for multiple car roofs, with the outer edge of the sunroof on the car roof abutting against the suspension rod 4. The outer end of the suspension rod 4 is covered with a flexible layer that matches its shape. A handle 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the longitudinal support rod 2. The handle 12 is a "T" shaped handle, and the outer end of the handle 12 is covered with a rubber layer that matches its shape to increase the friction between the person's hand and the handle 12. Since car roofs cannot be suspended on the horizontal axis of the transverse support rod 3, and the handle 12 is coaxial with the transverse support rod 3, even if the bracket is full of car roofs, it will not affect the person's ability to pull the longitudinal support rod 2 to control the transfer frame to move normally. Limit and adjustment mechanisms are provided at both the front and rear ends of the suspension rod 4.
[0042] Please see Figure 1-5The limiting and adjusting mechanism includes an extension block 5 fixedly connected to the suspension rod 4. The inner end of the extension block 5 has a sliding groove 501 and a limiting groove 502 that communicate with each other. A slider 6 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 501, and a limiting block 7 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 502. The slider 6 and the limiting block 7 are fixedly connected. Two pairs of vertically distributed and symmetrically arranged slots 503 are also provided on the inner wall of the sliding groove 501. The inner end of the slider 6 has a pair of symmetrically distributed storage slots 601 and assembly holes located on the front and rear sides of the storage slots 601. An adjusting block 8 is slidably connected in the assembly hole on the front side, and a locking block 11 is slidably connected in the assembly hole on the rear side. A connecting block 9 is fixedly connected between the adjusting block 8 and the locking block 11. A spring 10 is fixedly connected between the connecting block 9 and the inner wall of the storage slot 601. Pressing the pair of adjusting blocks 8 can drive the connecting block 10. Block 9 compresses spring 10, causing the locking block 11 and adjusting block 8 to move synchronously. One end of the adjusting block 8 located in the storage groove 601 has a positioning groove 801. A positioning rod 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage groove 601. The end of the positioning rod 13 away from the inner wall of the storage groove 601 is located in the positioning groove 801 and is slidably connected to it, limiting the movement trajectory of the adjusting block 8. This prevents malfunctions when personnel adjust the locking block 11 by pressing the adjusting block 8, and improves the durability of the equipment. The locking block 11 is movably engaged with both pairs of locking grooves 503. The groove of the locking groove 503 is triangular in shape. The shape of the part of the locking block 11 that engages with the locking groove 503 matches the shape of the locking groove 503. This shape can effectively ensure that after the locking block 11 engages with the locking groove 503, it provides sufficient stability for the slider 6 and the limiting block 7, and the two will not be displaced by other external forces.
[0043] Working Principle: When using this equipment to stack and assemble car roofs, the operator first uses the outer edge of the sunroof as a base point and stacks multiple car roofs in parallel on the suspension frame composed of a pair of suspension rods 4. Then, a pair of adjusting blocks 8 are pressed, causing them to drive the connecting block 9 to press the spring 10 until the locking block 11 retracts into the rear assembly hole. Next, the slider 6 is pushed upward, and the limiting block 7 moves synchronously upward to the outside of the limiting groove 502. When the top of the slider 6 contacts the top of the inner wall of the groove 501, the position of the locking block 11 is parallel to the upper locking groove 503. Then, the adjusting block 8 is released, and the locking block 11 is locked into the upper locking groove 503. At this time, the top of the limiting block 7 will also be higher than the outer edge of the sunroof on the car roof. At this time, even if the car roof slides on the suspension rod 4, it will not fall off the suspension frame. The car roof is dropped from the hanging rod 4 and then transferred using the handle 12. During the transfer, external forces that may be encountered, such as sudden acceleration, deceleration, or bumps during turning, are prevented by the limiting block 7 to prevent the car roof from being thrown off the suspension frame. Compared with the prior art, this utility model can allow multiple car roofs to be stacked and assembled without sacrificing the safety of the roof transfer. The key to this design is that it not only considers the impact of the sunroof position on the design of the transfer tool, but also makes full use of the potential of stacking car roofs. Moreover, the limiting mechanism only needs to be installed at the end of the hanging rod 4, without the need to add it between pairs of roofs. This greatly reduces the overall cost of the operating equipment while increasing the number of roofs that can be transferred at one time, which helps to improve the overall transfer efficiency.
[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
