However, this planar positioning method has shortcomings when assembling large automotive glass. Specifically, it is inconvenient for manual workers to place the glass flat on the fixture for positioning, and operators need to move around the glass at multiple workstations, which not only increases the difficulty of accessory placement and installation but also affects assembly accuracy and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automotive glass assembly fixture that facilitates the placement of glass and accessories on the fixture, thereby improving assembly accuracy and efficiency.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an automotive glass assembly fixture, including a positioning block, wherein the positioning block is provided with a glass positioning area and an accessory positioning area that at least partially overlaps with the edge of the glass positioning area; the glass positioning area is set at an angle to the horizontal plane.

[0005] Furthermore, the aforementioned automotive glass assembly fixture also includes a worktable, with the positioning block disposed on the worktable surface, and the glass positioning area being parallel to the worktable surface.

[0006] Furthermore, the aforementioned automotive glass assembly fixture also includes a worktable, with the positioning block disposed on the worktable surface, the worktable surface being parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0007] Furthermore, the angle between the glass positioning area and the horizontal plane is C, where 55°≤C≤65°.

[0008] Furthermore, the aforementioned automotive glass assembly tooling also includes an accessory clamping assembly having a clamping block for moving toward the accessory positioning area.

[0009] Furthermore, the accessory clamping assembly has a first reciprocating device and a second reciprocating device disposed on the side of the accessory positioning area away from the glass positioning area; the first reciprocating device has a movable end that moves along the short side direction of the accessory positioning area, the second reciprocating device is connected to the movable end of the first reciprocating device, the second reciprocating device has a movable end that moves along the normal direction of the accessory positioning area, and the clamping block is disposed on the movable end of the second reciprocating device.

[0010] Furthermore, the accessory clamping assembly has a third reciprocating device disposed above the accessory positioning area, the third reciprocating device having a movable end for moving toward the accessory positioning area, and the clamping block being disposed on the movable end of the third reciprocating device.

[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned automotive glass assembly fixture also includes a bending assembly, wherein the positioning block has multiple clearance spaces located below the accessory positioning area, and the bending assembly has a bending block for moving within the clearance spaces.

[0032] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, the present invention provides an automotive glass assembly fixture, including a positioning block 1, the positioning block 1 having a glass positioning area 11 and an accessory positioning area 12 that at least partially overlaps with the edge of the glass positioning area 11; the glass positioning area 11 is set at an angle to the horizontal plane.

[0034] Working principle: The glass positioning area 11 on the positioning block 1 is angled to the horizontal plane, so that the front of the glass 6 is tilted and placed on the positioning block 1 with the operator facing it. Taking the bright trim strip 7 as an example, the tilted layout of the glass 6 allows the operator to cover the glass 6 with their hands as much as possible while standing naturally. This allows the operator to move slightly to attach the bright trim strip 7 to the edge strip of the glass 6 through the positioning area 12.

[0035] It should be noted that the horizontal plane is the plane parallel to the workshop floor.

[0036] It is worth noting that the top of the positioning block 1 is provided with a contour groove that matches the curvature of the edge trim strip of the glass 6 to form the glass positioning area 11, and the top of the positioning block 1 is provided with a contour groove that matches the curvature of the bright trim strip 7 to form the accessory positioning area 12.

[0037] Preferably, the positioning block 1 consists of multiple support members arranged along the edge contour of the glass 6. A contoured groove adapted to the curvature of the edge trim of the glass 6 is provided on the top of the positioning block 1 to form the glass positioning area 11.

[0038] In one optional embodiment, the automotive glass assembly fixture further includes a worktable 2, with a positioning block 1 disposed on the surface of the worktable 2, and the glass positioning area 11 parallel to the surface of the worktable 2. The worktable 2 is tilted so that the glass positioning area 11 on the positioning block 1 is tilted.

[0039] In another optional embodiment, the automotive glass assembly fixture further includes a worktable 2, with a positioning block 1 disposed on the surface of the worktable 2, the surface of the worktable 2 being parallel to the horizontal plane. By setting the height of the positioning block 1 to gradually decrease in one direction, the glass positioning area 11 on the positioning block 1 is tilted.

[0040] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the angle between the glass positioning area 11 and the horizontal plane is C. 55°≤C≤65°. This includes, but is not limited to, angles between the glass positioning area 11 and the horizontal plane of 55°, 60°, and 65°.

[0041] While ensuring that the glass 6 is stably placed on the positioning block 1, the included angle is limited to make the front of the glass 6 face the operator as much as possible.

[0042] In some embodiments, a suction cup is provided in the glass positioning area 11 to adsorb the glass 6, thereby further improving the stability of the glass 6 on the positioning block 1.

[0043] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the automotive glass assembly fixture also includes an accessory clamping assembly 3, which has a clamping block 31 for moving toward the accessory positioning area 12. After the bright trim strip 7 is attached to the edge strip of the glass 6 via the accessory positioning area 12, the clamping block 31 moves toward the accessory positioning area 12 to press the bright trim strip 7, thereby ensuring that the bright trim strip 7 is firmly bonded to the glass 6.

[0044] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the accessory clamping assembly 3 has a first reciprocating device 32 and a second reciprocating device 33 disposed on the side of the accessory positioning area 12 away from the glass positioning area 11. The first reciprocating device 32 has a movable end that moves along the short side of the accessory positioning area 12. The second reciprocating device 33 is connected to the movable end of the first reciprocating device 32 and has a movable end that moves along the normal direction of the accessory positioning area 12. A clamping block 31 is disposed on the movable end of the second reciprocating device 33. The first reciprocating device 32 can drive the clamping block 31 to move above the accessory positioning area 12 to avoid interference between the bright trim 7 and the clamping block 31 when the bright trim 7 is placed. The second reciprocating device 33 can drive the clamping block 31 to press the bright trim 7.

[0045] It is worth noting that the first reciprocating device 32 and the second reciprocating device 33 are devices with linear reciprocating moving ends, such as pneumatic cylinders, electric cylinders, and hydraulic cylinders. The pressing surface of the pressing block 31 is set as an arc-shaped surface that matches the curvature of the bright trim strip 7. The pressing block 31 is made of polyurethane material, which can reduce the possibility of crushing or scratching the surface of the bright trim strip 7.

[0046] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the accessory clamping assembly 3 has a third reciprocating device 34 disposed above the accessory positioning area 12. The third reciprocating device 34 has a movable end for moving toward the accessory positioning area 12, and a clamping block 31 is disposed on the movable end of the third reciprocating device 34. The third reciprocating device 34 can drive the clamping block 31 to move above the accessory positioning area 12 and can control the clamping block 31 to press the bright trim strip 7.

[0047] It is worth noting that the third reciprocating device 34 includes a driver 341, a linear guide rail 342, and a second limiting block 343. The driver 341 has a movable end that moves towards the accessory positioning area 12. The clamping block 31 is connected to the movable end of the driver 341 and is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 342. The second limiting block 343 is located at one end of the linear guide rail 342 near the accessory positioning area 12. During the movement of the clamping block 31, the driver 341 uses the linear guide rail 342 to ensure the direction of movement of the clamping block 31. When the clamping block 31 is about to overtravel in its movement towards the accessory positioning area 12, the clamping block 31 or the mounting block on the clamping block 31 that is slidably connected to the linear guide rail will contact the second limiting block 343, which prevents the clamping block 31 from overtraveling. The driver 341 is a device with a linear reciprocating movable end, such as a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. The pressing surface of the pressing block 31 is set as an arc-shaped surface that matches the curvature of the bright trim strip 7. The pressing block 31 is made of polyurethane material, which can reduce the possibility of crushing or scratching the surface of the bright trim strip 7.

[0048] In some embodiments, the accessory clamping assembly 3 has a first reciprocating device 32 and a second reciprocating device 33 disposed on the side of the accessory positioning area 12 away from the glass positioning area 11, and a third reciprocating device 34 disposed above the accessory positioning area 12; the first reciprocating device 32 has a movable end near the accessory positioning area 12, the second reciprocating device 33 is connected to the movable end of the first reciprocating device 32, the second reciprocating device 33 has a movable end that moves in a vertical direction, and a clamping block 31 is disposed on the movable end of the second reciprocating device 33; the third reciprocating device 34 has a movable end near the accessory positioning area 12, and a clamping block 31 is disposed on the movable end of the third reciprocating device 34. This allows for the assembly of the bright trim strip 7 to meet various pressing requirements.

[0049] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the automotive glass assembly fixture also includes a bending assembly 4. The positioning block 1 has multiple clearance spaces 13 located below the accessory positioning area 12. The bending assembly 4 has a bending block 41 that moves within the clearance spaces 13 to bend the claws 71 on the bright trim strip 7. The clearance spaces 13 prevent interference between the claws 71 on the bright trim strip 7 and the positioning block 1. During the pressing of the pressing block 31 on the bright trim strip 7, the bending block 41 extends into the clearance space 13 so that the bending block 41 can bend the claws 71 on the bright trim strip 7, thereby securing the bright trim strip 7 onto the glass 6.

[0050] It should be noted that the bending assembly 4 has a fourth reciprocating device 43, which is connected to the bending block 41 and is used to drive the bending block 41 to move within the clearance space 13. Specifically, the fourth reciprocating device 43 is a device with a linear reciprocating movable end, such as a pneumatic cylinder, electric cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder.

[0051] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the bending assembly 4 also has a top block 42 for extending into the clearance space 13 along the normal direction of the attachment positioning area 12. After the bending block 41 completes the bending of the claw 71, the top block 42 is used to press the bent claw 71 to minimize the degree of elastic rebound of the claw 71.

[0052] It should be noted that the bending assembly 4 has a fifth reciprocating device 44, which is connected to the top block 42 to drive the top block 42 into the clearance space 13. Specifically, the fifth reciprocating device 44 is a device with a movable end that has linear reciprocating movement, such as a cylinder, electric cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder.

[0053] In some implementations, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, the automotive glass assembly fixture also includes a limiting component 5, which has a first limiting block 51 for moving toward the accessory positioning area 12. After the bright trim strip 7 is initially attached to the edge strip of the glass 6 through the accessory positioning area 12, the first limiting block 51 moves toward the accessory positioning area 12 to hold the bright trim strip 7 in place, ensuring the stability of the bright trim strip 7 during subsequent assembly.

[0054] It should be noted that the limiting assembly 5 has a sixth reciprocating device 52, which is connected to the first limiting block 51 and is used to drive the first limiting block 51 to move toward the accessory positioning area 12. Specifically, the sixth reciprocating device 52 is a device with a linear reciprocating movable end, such as a pneumatic cylinder, electric cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder.

[0055] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
