Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile manufacturing, and in particular to a straightening and shaping machine for automobile sunroof guide rail profiles. Background Technology

[0002] During production, processing, and transportation, automotive sunroof guide rail profiles are prone to deformation due to various factors. Therefore, precise straightening and reshaping are crucial for ensuring the quality of automotive sunroofs. Existing straightening methods mainly rely on traditional manual straightening tools or some simple mechanical straightening equipment.

[0003] Manual straightening relies heavily on the operator's experience and feel, lacking precise measurement and positioning devices. During the straightening process, it's difficult to ensure uniform and accurate straightening force is applied to all parts of the guide rail profile, resulting in significant dimensional deviations after straightening, failing to meet the high-precision assembly requirements of automotive sunroofs. For example, when straightening the straightness of the guide rail, manual operation may cause localized bending or twisting, affecting the smoothness of the sunroof's sliding.

[0004] Simple mechanical straightening equipment is typically designed for specific specifications or models of automotive sunroof guide rail profiles, lacking flexibility and versatility. When producing profiles of different specifications, complex adjustments or replacement of some parts are required, which not only increases the time and cost of equipment debugging but may also affect the straightening effect due to improper adjustments. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a straightening and shaping machine for automotive sunroof guide rail profiles, which solves the problems of low precision and low efficiency in manual straightening and lack of flexibility and versatility in simple mechanical straightening methods.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A car sunroof guide rail profile straightening and shaping machine includes a bracket, a fixed seat symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the bracket, a fixed pressure roller and a moving pressure roller are provided inside the fixed seat, the two ends of the fixed pressure roller are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the corresponding two sides of the fixed seat, a movable seat symmetrically slidably connected inside the fixed seat, the two ends of the moving pressure roller are rotatably connected to the corresponding movable seat, a lifting component is symmetrically installed inside the fixed seat, the lifting component is used to drive the corresponding movable seat to perform lifting and lowering movements to adjust the distance between the moving pressure roller and the fixed pressure roller, a fixed plate is fixedly connected inside the bracket, a jack is fixedly installed inside the fixed plate, a wheel frame is fixedly connected to the output end of the jack, and a straightening wheel is symmetrically rotatably connected inside the wheel frame.

[0007] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a threaded rod, and the fixed seat is symmetrically threaded with the threaded rod. The bottom end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the corresponding movable seat. The lifting of the movable seat is achieved by rotating the threaded rod, thereby precisely adjusting the gap between the dynamic pressure roller and the fixed pressure roller to adapt to different specifications of automotive sunroof guide rail profiles.

[0008] Preferably, a handwheel is fixedly connected to the top of each threaded rod. The handwheel provides the operator with a convenient component for applying force, allowing the operator to easily and effortlessly rotate the threaded rod, thus improving the ease of operation for adjusting the distance between the moving pressure roller and the fixed pressure roller.

[0009] Preferably, the fixed seat has symmetrical grooves on both sides, and the movable seat has slide bars on both sides. The slide bars are slidably connected to the corresponding grooves. The cooperation between the grooves and slide bars ensures the stability and accuracy of the movable seat's lifting and lowering within the fixed seat, preventing the movable seat from shifting or shaking during movement. This improves the accuracy of the distance adjustment between the moving pressure roller and the fixed pressure roller, ensuring that the profile can be accurately clamped.

[0010] Preferably, both the fixed pressure roller and the moving pressure roller are fitted with elastic buffer sleeves. The elastic buffer sleeves can protect the surface of the car sunroof guide rail profile from being scratched or crushed by the fixed pressure roller and the moving pressure roller, while improving the stability of the profile during the clamping process and ensuring the effect of correction and shaping.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the support frame is symmetrically and evenly fixed with adjustable feet. The adjustable feet enable the straightening and shaping machine to adapt to ground with different flatness, ensuring that the equipment works stably in a horizontal state and avoiding the impact on the straightening and shaping accuracy due to the tilt of the equipment.

[0012] Preferably, the outer side of the straightening wheel is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture improves the friction performance between the straightening wheel and the profile, ensuring that the straightening wheel can effectively transfer the straightening force to the profile, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of straightening and shaping.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention utilizes a lifting assembly consisting of a threaded rod and a handwheel within a fixed base. By sliding the sliding strips on both sides of the movable base into the grooves within the fixed base, precise adjustment of the distance between the moving and fixed pressure rollers is achieved. When the operator turns the handwheel, the threaded rod rotates, causing the movable base to rise and fall stably. The sliding strips precisely guide the movement within the grooves, ensuring accurate trajectory of the moving pressure roller. This design offers the advantage of adapting to various profile specifications, meeting the correction requirements of different automotive sunroof guide rail profiles. It improves the equipment's versatility and flexibility, reducing the hassle of replacing equipment or making complex adjustments due to differences in profile specifications.

[0015] This invention effectively protects the profile during the straightening process by installing elastic buffer sleeves on the outside of the fixed and moving pressure rollers. When the fixed and moving pressure rollers apply pressure to the profile, the elastic buffer sleeves deform elastically, buffering part of the pressure and preventing it from acting directly on the profile surface. Simultaneously, they increase the friction between the sleeves and the profile, preventing slippage. This design has the advantage of protecting the profile's appearance quality, preventing scratches or pressure marks on the surface, and ensuring a smooth and intact profile surface after straightening.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a car sunroof guide rail profile straightening and shaping machine, including a bracket 1. A fixed seat 2 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 1. A fixed pressure roller 3 and a movable pressure roller 4 are provided inside the fixed seat 2. The two ends of the fixed pressure roller 3 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the corresponding two sides of the fixed seat 2. A movable seat 5 is symmetrically slidably connected inside the fixed seat 2. The two ends of the movable pressure roller 4 are rotatably connected to the corresponding movable seat 5. A lifting component 6 is symmetrically installed inside the fixed seat 2. The lifting component 6 is used to drive the corresponding movable seat 5 to perform lifting and lowering movements to adjust the distance between the movable pressure roller 4 and the fixed pressure roller 3. A fixed plate 7 is fixedly connected inside the bracket 1. A jack 8 is fixedly installed inside the fixed plate 7. A wheel frame 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the jack 8. A straightening wheel 10 is symmetrically rotatably connected inside the wheel frame 9.

[0022] The sunroof guide rail profile to be corrected and shaped is placed between the fixed pressure roller 3 and the moving pressure roller 4. The movable seat 5 is raised and lowered by the lifting assembly 6, which in turn drives the moving pressure roller 4 to move. The distance between the moving pressure roller 4 and the fixed pressure roller 3 is adjusted so that the profile is stably clamped. Then, the jack 8 is activated. The output end of the jack 8 pushes the wheel frame 9 to rise, which drives the straightening wheel 10 to move upward and apply pressure to the profile, thereby achieving the correction and shaping of the profile.

[0023] The lifting assembly 6 includes a threaded rod 61. The fixed seat 2 is symmetrically threaded with the threaded rod 61. The bottom end of the threaded rod 61 is rotatably connected to the corresponding movable seat 5. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the moving pressure roller 4 and the fixed pressure roller 3, the threaded rod 61 is rotated to make the movable seat 5 rise and fall within the fixed seat 2, thereby driving the moving pressure roller 4 to move.

[0024] Each threaded rod 61 is fixedly connected to a handwheel 62. When the handwheel 62 is rotated manually, the threaded rod 61 rotates. The rotation of the threaded rod 61 causes the movable seat 5 to rise or fall, thereby adjusting the distance between the moving pressure roller 4 and the fixed pressure roller 3.

[0025] The fixed seat 2 has symmetrically provided sliding grooves 21 on both sides, and the movable seat 5 has provided sliding strips 51 on both sides. The sliding strips 51 are slidably connected to the corresponding sliding grooves 21. During the lifting and lowering process of the movable seat 5, the sliding strips 51 on both sides of the movable seat 5 slide in the sliding grooves 21 on both sides of the fixed seat 2. The sliding grooves 21 guide and limit the sliding strips 51, so that the movable seat 5 can only move up and down along the direction of the sliding grooves 21.

[0026] Both the fixed pressure roller 3 and the moving pressure roller 4 are fitted with elastic buffer sleeves 11. When the fixed pressure roller 3 and the moving pressure roller 4 apply pressure to the car sunroof guide rail profile, the elastic buffer sleeve 11 will undergo elastic deformation to buffer part of the pressure and prevent the pressure from acting directly on the profile surface. At the same time, the elastic buffer sleeve 11 contacts the profile surface, increasing the friction and preventing the profile from sliding during the straightening process.

[0027] Adjustable feet 12 are symmetrically and evenly fixed at the bottom of the bracket 1. When the straightening and shaping machine is placed on an uneven ground, the height of the adjustable feet 12 can be changed by rotating them.

[0028] The straightening wheel 10 has anti-slip texture on its outer side. When the straightening wheel 10 applies pressure to the car sunroof guide rail profile for straightening and shaping, the anti-slip texture on the outer side of the straightening wheel 10 increases the friction between the straightening wheel 10 and the profile, preventing the profile from sliding relative to the straightening wheel 10 during the straightening process.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
