Description

Automotive roof wiring harness assembly equipment with pressure holding function Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile roof manufacturing, and in particular to automobile roof wiring assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During the car roof fabrication process, operators place the roof on a base, ensuring the sunroof fits snugly against the vertical blocks on the base's top wall to prevent lateral movement. Then, they manually attach the electrical wires to the roof's top wall, completing the fabrication process. The finished roof is then removed and stored in a warehouse. Later, when the roof is installed on the interior roof of the car, the wires are concealed between the roof and the interior roof, preserving the aesthetics. The drawback of this existing technology is that it requires manual attachment of the wires, which can easily lead to misalignment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a car roof cable assembly device with pressure holding function, thereby improving the accuracy of attaching the cable to the car roof.

[0004] A car roof cable assembly device with pressure-holding function includes a front and rear transverse base. A first transverse support plate is mounted on the top wall of the base for the car roof to be placed transversely. A limiting vertical block is mounted on the top wall of the first transverse support plate. The limiting vertical block extends into the sunroof of the car roof body to limit the transverse movement of the car roof body. A left and right transverse rotating shaft and a motor driving the rotating shaft are mounted at the rear end of the base. A vertical arm is mounted on the top wall of the rotating shaft. A left and right transverse plate is mounted at the top of the vertical arm. Two left and right clamps are mounted on the left and right sides of the front side wall of the transverse plate, respectively. The left and right clamps clamp the left and right ends of the left and right transverse cable bodies. A second cylinder is mounted on the front side wall of the transverse plate. A pressure block is mounted in front of the second cylinder, with the front of the pressure block facing the cable body. The rotating shaft rotates forward 90° under the drive of the motor, causing the transverse plate and clamps to swing from a horizontal state to a vertical downward state. The pressure block is driven by the second cylinder to push the cable body downward away from the clamps and then press it against the rear part of the top wall of the car roof body.

[0005] Furthermore, the gripper includes upper and lower gripping fingers, with a vertical spring between the two gripping fingers. The upper and lower ends of the vertical spring are fixed to the upper and lower gripping fingers respectively. The vertical spring is normally in a stretched state so that the upper and lower gripping fingers can clamp the end of the wire body in a natural state.

[0006] Furthermore, two first cylinders are respectively installed on the left and right side walls of the horizontal plate, and the two grippers are respectively installed on the front side walls of the two first cylinders. The two first cylinders can drive the two grippers to open respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, the front ends of both grippers protrude forward from the pressure block.

[0008] Furthermore, the tips of the upper and lower gripping fingers of the gripper gradually come together.

[0009] Furthermore, the two grippers are positioned at the same height as the pressure block.

[0010] Furthermore, a second horizontal support plate is installed at the rear of the top wall of the base, which supports the rear of the car roof body.

[0011] Furthermore, there are four limiting vertical blocks, which respectively block the four inner corners of the sunroof of the car roof body.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting vertical block bulges outward into an arc shape.

[0013] Furthermore, the second cylinder and its corresponding pressure block are provided in multiple transverse directions along the horizontal plate.

[0014] Before attaching the wire, the operator positions the wire horizontally, lifts it to the front of the horizontal plate, and then pulls the wire taut. The left and right ends of the wire are then placed into the left and right clamps, which clamp the wire securely. The wire is then attached to the clamps. Next, the operator applies adhesive to the rear of the car headliner. The wire is then attached. Specifically, the rotating shaft, driven by the motor, rotates forward, causing the vertical arm and horizontal plate to swing forward 90 degrees, thus attaching the wire to the rear of the car headliner. The pressure block swings 90 degrees with the horizontal plate to a vertically downward position, and then, driven by the first cylinder, pushes the wire downward from the left and right clamps. The pressure block then presses the wire firmly against the rear of the car headliner, securing it in place. Each time the pressure block is pressed down, the above steps are performed, and the position of the car roof body is exactly the same each time it is pressed down. Therefore, the pressure block is more accurate in attaching the wires to the car roof than manual pasting. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, a horizontally oriented base 1 is placed on the ground. Four first horizontal support plates 3 are mounted on the middle of the top wall of the base 1. Each first horizontal support plate 3 has a limiting vertical block 2 mounted on its top wall, with the limiting vertical block 2 protruding outwards in an arc shape. A second horizontal support plate 4 is mounted behind the four first horizontal support plates 3 on the base 1. As shown in Figure 3, the second horizontal support plate 4 supports the rear of the car roof body 7, while the four first horizontal support plates 3 support the bottom wall of the car roof body 7 near the sunroof. The four limiting vertical blocks 2 extend into the sunroof, blocking the four inner corners of the car roof sunroof to prevent accidental lateral movement of the car roof body 7.

[0022] As shown in Figure 1, a vertical base plate 21 is mounted on the rear part of the top wall of the base 1. A left-right horizontal rotating shaft 5 and a motor driving the rotating shaft 5 are movably mounted on the top wall of the vertical base plate 21. A vertical arm 22 is mounted on the top of the rotating shaft 5, and a horizontal plate 6 is mounted on the top wall of the vertical arm 22. As shown in Figure 2, two first cylinders 8 are mounted on the left and right side walls of the horizontal plate 6, and two grippers 9 are mounted on the front side walls of the two first cylinders 8. Each gripper 9 includes upper and lower gripping fingers, with a vertical spring 10 between the two gripping fingers. The vertical spring 10 is normally in a stretched state, causing the grippers 9 to clamp in a normally closed state. The front ends of the upper and lower gripping fingers gradually approach each other. Multiple second cylinders 20 are mounted on the front side wall of the horizontal plate 6, and each of these second cylinders 20 has a pressure block 11 mounted on its front. The two grippers 9 and the pressure block 11 are at the same height. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the operator positions the wire body 12 horizontally, then lifts it to the front of the horizontal plate 6, aligning it with the clamps 9 and pressure blocks 11. The wire body 12 is then pulled taut, and its left and right ends are pressed into the openings between the upper and lower clamping fingers of the two clamps 9. The wire body 12 overcomes the contraction force generated by the stretched vertical spring 10, pushing open the upper and lower clamping fingers and moving into the space between them. Subsequently, the upper and lower clamping fingers, driven by the contraction force of the vertical spring 10, clamp the wire body 12 tightly. Thus, the wire body 12 is installed on the clamps 9. Afterwards, the operator applies adhesive to the rear of the car roof top wall, allowing for proper installation. The wire is then pasted in a specific manner: The rotating shaft 5, driven by the motor, rotates forward, causing the vertical arm 22 and the horizontal plate 6 to swing forward 90 degrees to the state shown in Figure 4. This causes the wire body 12 on the left and right grippers 9 to be pasted onto the rear part of the top wall of the car roof body 7. The pressure block 11 follows the horizontal plate 6, swinging 90 degrees to a vertically downward position. Then, driven by the second cylinder 20, it pushes the wire body 12 on the left and right grippers 9 downwards. The wire body 12 is then driven forward by the pressure block 11, overcoming the contraction force generated by the stretched vertical spring 10 and squeezing open the upper and lower gripping fingers of the gripper 9. In other words, the wire body 12 is pushed away from the gripper 9 by the pressure block 11 and then pressed down onto the rear part of the top wall of the car roof body 7, firmly adhering it. After the wire body 12 is pressed, the gripper 9 is driven by the vertical spring 10 to return to the clamping state, the pressure block 11 is driven by the second cylinder 20 to return to its original position, and the rotating shaft 5 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the horizontal plate 6 to return to its initial position.

[0023] It should be noted that if the wire body 12 fails to overcome the contraction force of the vertical spring 10 to push the upper and lower gripping fingers of the clamp 9 away from the clamp 9, then the upper and lower gripping fingers of the clamp 9 will be driven open by the first cylinder 8, and the wire body 12 will be pushed forward by the pressure block 11 to detach from the clamp 9 and stick firmly to the rear part of the top wall of the car roof body 7. After the crimping is completed, the first cylinder 8 can also drive the clamp 9 to open to reset, preparing for the next operation.

[0024] It should be noted that the front end of the clamp 9 extends to the front of the pressure block 11 to ensure that the wire body 12 contacts the canopy first, and then the pressure block 11 presses down.

[0025] This utility model discloses a car roof wiring assembly device with pressure-holding function, comprising a front and rear transverse base 1. The top wall of the base 1 is equipped with a first transverse support plate 3 for the front and rear transverse placement of the car roof. The top wall of the first transverse support plate 3 is equipped with a limiting vertical block 2, which extends into the sunroof of the car roof body 7 to provide transverse restraint to the car roof body 7. The rear end of the base 1 is equipped with a left and right transverse rotating shaft 5 and a motor driving the rotating shaft 5. The top wall of the rotating shaft 5 is equipped with a vertical arm 22, and the top of the vertical arm 22 is equipped with a left and right transverse plate 6. The left and right transverse plates 6... The right side walls are equipped with two left and right grippers 9, which clamp the left and right ends of the horizontal wire bodies 12 respectively. The front side wall of the horizontal plate 6 is equipped with a second cylinder 20, and a pressure block 11 is installed in front of the second cylinder 20, with the front of the pressure block 11 facing the wire body 12. The rotating shaft 5 rotates forward 90° under the drive of the motor, causing the horizontal plate 6 and grippers 9 to swing from a horizontal state to a vertical downward state. The pressure block 11, driven by the second cylinder 20, pushes the wire body 12 downward away from the grippers 9 and then presses it tightly against the rear part of the top wall of the car roof body 7.

[0026] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Any non-substantial changes or substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model will still fall within the scope of patent protection.
