Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile roof manufacturing, and in particular to a tooling for assembling electrical wires for automobile roofs. Background Technology

[0002] During the car roof fabrication process, operators place the roof on a workbench and then attach the electrical wires to the roof's top wall. This completes the fabrication process, after which the finished roof is 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, without affecting the aesthetics. The drawback of the existing technology is that when operators attach the pre-embedded wires to the roof's top wall, they inevitably touch the roof, causing it to accidentally shift laterally on the workbench, making it easy for operators to attach the pre-embedded wires crookedly. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a tooling for assembling electrical wires for car roofs, so that operators can easily attach the pre-embedded wires to the car roof without misalignment.

[0004] The car roof wiring assembly fixture includes two first horizontal support plates for placing at the front of the car roof. Each of the two first horizontal support plates has two positioning blocks mounted on its top wall. The two positioning blocks extend vertically upwards into the two pre-drilled holes in the sun visors of the car roof. Behind the two first horizontal support plates are four second horizontal support plates that support the central arched part of the car roof. Each of the four second horizontal support plates has four vertical stops that extend into the sunroof opening of the car roof and block the four inner corners of the sunroof.

[0005] Furthermore, the four second horizontal support plates are positioned at a higher height than the two first horizontal support plates.

[0006] Furthermore, two first horizontal support plates are mounted on the left and right horizontal front slide rails, and the front slide rails are provided with front and rear horizontal left and right slide rails below the front slide rails. The left and right ends of the front slide rails are respectively movably mounted on the left and right slide rails.

[0007] Furthermore, a left-right transverse middle slide rail is provided behind the front slide rail, with the left and right ends of the middle slide rail being movably mounted on the left and right slide rails respectively, and two of the four second transverse support plates being movably mounted on the middle slide rail; a left-right transverse rear slide rail is provided behind the middle slide rail, with the left and right ends of the rear slide rail being movably mounted on the left and right slide rails respectively, and the other two second transverse support plates being movably mounted on the rear slide rail.

[0008] Furthermore, the front, middle, and rear slide rails are all equipped with horizontal scales.

[0009] Furthermore, both the left and right slide rails are equipped with horizontal scales.

[0010] Furthermore, the middle slide rail and the rear slide rail are each equipped with two sliding mounting columns that can move along them, and each sliding mounting column has a spherical joint movably mounted on its top wall. The four second horizontal support plates are respectively mounted on the top of the four spherical joints.

[0011] Furthermore, the spherical joint drives the second horizontal support plate to rotate laterally around the circumference, thereby adjusting the circumferential angle of the vertical stop block so that the vertical stop block is aligned with the inner corner of the skylight.

[0012] Furthermore, the spherical joint drives the second horizontal support plate to rotate longitudinally around the circumference, thereby adjusting the vertical stop block to tilt outwards at the top, thus preventing the car roof from moving upwards.

[0013] Furthermore, the vertical stop block bulges outward in an arc shape.

[0014] The beneficial effects are: the car roof is laterally limited by two positioning blocks and four vertical blocks, so it will not shift laterally even if it is accidentally touched by the operator, and the operator will not easily stick the pre-embedded wires to the car roof crookedly.

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, a left slide rail 1 and a right slide rail 15 are placed side by side on the ground, extending horizontally back and forth. Above these two slide rails is a left-right horizontal front slide rail 3, with its left and right ends respectively movably mounted on the left and right slide rails 1 and 15. Two sliding socket seats 5 are movably mounted on the rear part of the top wall of the front slide rail 3, and each sliding socket seat 5 has two detachably fitted vertical socket blocks 6. Each vertical socket block 6 has two first horizontal support plates 7 mounted on its top, and each first horizontal support plate 7 has two positioning blocks 8 mounted on its top wall. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two positioning blocks 8 extend vertically upwards into the two sun visor pre-drilled holes 17 of the car roof 16 to provide lateral positioning for the car roof 16. If the two positioning blocks 8 need to fit two sun visor pre-drilled holes 17 of other sizes, the sliding socket 5 moves laterally left and right along the front slide rail 3 to adjust the left and right positions of the two positioning blocks 8. The front of the top wall of the front slide rail 3 is equipped with a left and right horizontal scale 4. The front slide rail 3 moves back and forth on the left slide rail 1 and the right slide rail 15 to adjust the front and back positions of the two positioning blocks 8. The left side of the top wall of the left slide rail 1 is equipped with a front and back horizontal scale 4, and the right side of the top wall of the right slide rail 15 is equipped with a front and back horizontal scale 4. If the positioning block 8 does not match the size of the sun visor pre-drilled hole 17, the connecting vertical block 6 can be removed from the sliding socket 5, and the connecting vertical block 6 of the appropriate positioning block 8 can be installed into the sliding socket 5.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a left-right transverse middle slide rail 9 is provided behind the front slide rail 3, and a left-right transverse rear slide rail 13 is provided behind the middle slide rail 9. The left and right ends of the middle slide rail 9 and the rear slide rail 13 are respectively movably mounted on the left slide rail 1 and the right slide rail 15. Two sliding mounting posts 10 are movably mounted on the middle slide rail 9 and the rear slide rail 13. A 360° rotatable spherical joint is movably mounted on the top of each sliding mounting post 10. A second horizontal support plate 11 is mounted on the top of the spherical joint. The second horizontal support plate 11 is higher than the first horizontal support plate 7, thus supporting the middle arch of the car roof 16. Each second horizontal support plate 11 is equipped with a vertical stop block 12. The vertical stop block 12 protrudes outward in an arc shape. The four vertical stop blocks 12 extend into the sunroof opening of the car roof 16 and block the four inner corners 19 of the sunroof of the car roof 16, thereby limiting the lateral movement of the car roof 16. When it is necessary to adapt to sunroof openings of different sizes, the operator can rotate the spherical joint to drive the second horizontal support plate 11 to rotate laterally around the circumference until the outline of the vertical stop block 12 matches the inner corner 19 of the sunroof. The spherical joint drives the second horizontal support plate 11 to rotate longitudinally around the circumference, thereby adjusting the vertical stop block 12 so that its upper end is tilted outward, thus preventing the car roof from moving upward.

[0022] If the four vertical blocks 12 need to accommodate skylight openings 18 of other sizes, at least one of the four sliding mounting posts 10 will move laterally along the middle slide rail 9 and the rear slide rail 13 to adjust the left and right positions of the four vertical blocks 12. The front of the top wall of the middle slide rail 9 is equipped with a left-right horizontal scale 4, and the rear of the top wall of the rear slide rail 13 is also equipped with a left-right horizontal scale 4. The middle slide rail 9 and the rear slide rail 13 will move laterally along the left slide rail 1 and the right slide rail 15 to adjust the front-back positions of the four vertical blocks 12.

[0023] 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.
