Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sunroof installation technology, and more specifically, to a sunroof installation robot with a positioning structure. Background Technology
[0002] A sunroof is a window on the roof of a building or vehicle. It can be opened or fixed, allowing light and ventilation. Car sunroofs also provide views. They are usually made of glass or transparent plastic. A sunroof installation robot is an automated device used for precise installation of sunroofs. It uses robotic arms to complete processes such as handling and alignment, improving efficiency and accuracy.
[0003] Publication number (CN220743222U) discloses a positioning structure for a sunroof installation robot, including a connecting plate fixedly connected to the side of a cylinder, one end of a profile fixedly connected to the connecting plate via a connecting block, and the other end fixedly connected to an aluminum cast corner, the cylinder rod fixedly connected to a U-shaped component via a gasket, the optical shaft fixedly connected to the U-shaped component via a shaft elastic retaining ring, and a positioning post slidably connected to the optical shaft. The positioning post has a spring sleeved on the outside of the optical shaft below and a buffer pad above. Its advantages are its novel structure, which modifies and optimizes the original positioning structure. The original positioning post was fixed; now it is modified to move up and down. Depending on the height the robot arm rises during sunroof installation, it moves the positioning post, eliminating scratches between the positioning post and the vehicle's sheet metal. This avoids wear on the positioning post from the sheet metal and deformation caused by the positioning post, resulting in good performance.
[0004] However, the positioning structure of this skylight installation robot has the following drawbacks: it can only be adjusted up and down when installing the skylight, and it cannot be fixed according to the different sizes of skylights through quick-release optional components after the positioning is met. When faced with skylights of different sizes, due to the lack of quick-release optional fixing components, the robot cannot quickly adjust the fixing method, resulting in the same set of equipment being only suitable for a single or very few sizes of skylights. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a sunroof installation robot with a positioning structure, so as to solve the problem that in the prior art, it is impossible to fix the sunroof according to different sizes by means of quick-release optional assembly after positioning is met.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sunroof installation robot with a positioning structure, comprising...
[0007] The robotic arm is equipped with two cylinders. The driving ends of the two cylinders are fixedly connected to a fixed plate. The end of the fixed plate away from the cylinder is detachably connected to a connecting plate. The inner wall of the fixed plate is slidably connected to a pull plate. The inner wall of the connecting plate is movably connected to multiple pulleys. The inner wall of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to an S-shaped elastic element. The inner wall of the connecting plate is detachably connected to two gaskets.

[0010] The outside of the fixing plate is in contact with the outside of the connecting plate, and the end of the S-shaped elastic member away from the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outside.
[0011] The end of the locking block away from the gasket is engaged with the inner wall of the groove, and the outer part is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable groove.
[0012] The end of the pull plate away from the connecting plate is engaged with the inner wall of the connecting groove, and the end of the pull plate away from the connecting groove is engaged with the inner wall of the groove.
[0013] The outer side of the connecting strip is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove, and one end of the elastic element away from the pressure plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] In the above solution, the activation of the cylinder makes adjusting the sunroof position more convenient. Simultaneously, when the cylinder continues to press the sunroof, the pulleys can be concealed, and the gaskets can be tightly fitted to the outside of the sunroof to secure it.

[0025] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sunroof installation robot with a positioning structure, including a robotic arm 1 and two cylinders 2. The driving ends of the two cylinders 2 are fixedly connected to a fixing plate 3. The end of the fixing plate 3 away from the cylinder 2 is detachably connected to a connecting plate 5. The inner wall of the fixing plate 3 is slidably connected to a pull plate 6. The inner wall of the connecting plate 5 is movably connected to multiple pulleys 8. The inner wall of the connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to an S-shaped elastic element 9. The inner wall of the connecting plate 5 is detachably connected to two gaskets 10.
[0027] The cooperation between the pull plate 6 and the connecting plate 5 enables the selection and replacement of appropriate connecting plates 5 according to different sizes of sunroofs to complete the subsequent installation of the sunroof. During the installation process, the pulley 8 adjusts the position of the sunroof appropriately, and after adjustment, the pulley 8 is hidden inside the connecting plate 5. The sunroof is clamped and fixed by the shim 10. At the same time, after long-term use, the shim 10 will wear out. The modular design of the shim 10 allows for accurate replacement of worn shims, saving subsequent maintenance costs.
[0028] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in order to facilitate the movement of pulleys 8, both ends of multiple pulleys 8 are fixedly connected to 7, multiple locking blocks 18 are fixedly connected to the outside of the gasket 10, multiple grooves 17 are opened on the inner wall of the connecting plate 5, a movable groove 16 is opened on the inner wall of the connecting plate 5, a connecting strip 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting plate 5, the outside of the fixing plate 3 is in contact with the outside of the connecting plate 5, the end of the S-shaped elastic member 9 away from the connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of 7, the end of the locking block 18 away from the gasket 10 is locked into the inner wall of the groove 17, and the outside of 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 16.
[0029] By activating cylinder 2, the pulley 8 of the connecting plate 5 in the fixing plate 3 comes into contact with the sunroof, allowing the sunroof to move. The sunroof moves outside the pulley 8, causing the pulley 8 to rotate. After adjustment, the sunroof can be accurately positioned in the installation position. Then, by continuing to activate cylinder 2, the pulley 8 will be subjected to pressure, which will compress the S-shaped elastic element 9 through 7. After being compressed, the S-shaped elastic element 9 will meet the space required for the pulley 8 to be hidden in the connecting plate 5. At this time, the shim 10 will compress and fix the adjusted sunroof, ensuring the stability of the subsequent sunroof installation. The shim 10 is connected to the inside of the groove 17 in the connecting plate 5 by the locking block 18, and the locking block 18 has elastic potential energy. By modularizing the design of the shim 10, it can be replaced precisely when severe wear occurs, saving subsequent maintenance costs.
[0030] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to facilitate the movement of the pull plate 6, the inner wall of the connecting strip 4 is provided with a connecting groove 15, the outside of the pull plate 6 is fixedly connected with a pressure plate 11, the outside of the pressure plate 11 is fixedly connected with an elastic element 12, the inner wall of the fixing plate 3 is provided with a slot 13, the inner wall of the fixing plate 3 is provided with a sliding groove 14, the end of the pull plate 6 away from the connecting plate 5 is engaged with the inner wall of the connecting groove 15, the end of the pull plate 6 away from the connecting groove 15 is engaged with the inner wall of the slot 13, the outside of the connecting strip 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 14, and the end of the elastic element 12 away from the pressure plate 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 5.
[0031] By pulling the pull plate 6 in the fixed plate 3, the pull plate 6 causes the pressure plate 11 to squeeze the elastic element 12. After being squeezed, the elastic element 12 is compressed, which allows the pull plate 6 to leave the inside of the slot 13 and the connecting groove 15 and no longer engage. This allows the connecting plate 5 to be disassembled. When installation is required, it can be directly slid along the slide groove 14 through the connecting strip 4 in the connecting plate 5. Since the contact surface between the pull plate 6 and the connecting strip 4 is oblique, the connecting strip 4 can squeeze the pull plate 6, causing the pull plate 6 to be stuck inside the connecting groove 15. Through quick installation, the appropriate connecting plate 5 can be selected and installed according to different sizes of skylights to ensure the stability of the skylight during subsequent installation.
[0032] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0033] First, by activating cylinder 2, the pulley 8 of the connecting plate 5 in the fixing plate 3 comes into contact with the sunroof. This allows the sunroof to be moved, moving outside the pulley 8, causing the pulley 8 to rotate. After adjustment, the sunroof is accurately positioned for installation. Then, by continuing to activate cylinder 2, the pulley 8 is subjected to pressure, which compresses the S-shaped elastic element 9. After being compressed, the S-shaped elastic element 9 provides the space required for the pulley 8 to be hidden in the connecting plate 5. At this point, the shim 10 presses and fixes the adjusted sunroof, ensuring the stability of the subsequent sunroof installation. The shim 10 is connected to the inside of the groove 17 in the connecting plate 5 by a locking block 18, and the locking block 18 has elastic potential energy. The modular design of the shim 10 allows for subsequent... When there is severe wear, it can be replaced precisely, saving subsequent maintenance costs. At the same time, by pulling the pull plate 6 in the fixed plate 3, the pull plate 6 drives the pressure plate 11 to squeeze the elastic element 12. After being squeezed, the elastic element 12 is compressed, which allows the pull plate 6 to leave the inside of the slot 13 and the connecting slot 15 and no longer engage. This allows the connecting plate 5 to be disassembled. When installation is required, it can be directly slid along the slide groove 14 through the connecting strip 4 in the connecting plate 5. Since the contact surface between the pull plate 6 and the connecting strip 4 is oblique, the connecting strip 4 can squeeze the pull plate 6, so that the pull plate 6 is stuck inside the connecting slot 15. Through quick installation, the appropriate connecting plate 5 can be selected and installed according to the different sizes of the skylight to ensure the stability of the skylight during subsequent installation.
