Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment technology for automobile manufacturing, and in particular to a windshield transport device for automobile manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable accessory to the car body, the windshield primarily serves a protective function. Its manufacturing process involves first heating the glass in a furnace to near-softening temperatures, then rapidly sending it through a cooling grid with varying cooling intensities. This uneven cooling creates different stresses between the main viewing area and the surrounding regions. This type of glass is typically zone-tempered glass.

[0003] Current windshield transport devices are prone to damage during transport due to the fragility and large size of the glass. This damage affects the glass's appearance and overall hardness, and also increases costs. Therefore, we are now providing a windshield transport device for automobile manufacturing. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a windshield transport device for automobile manufacturing. The windshield is positioned using a groove for supporting rubber strips, and an inflatable airbag fills the gap between adjacent glass panes. A U-shaped limiting clip secures the windshield, reducing side damage caused by collisions during transport and lowering costs. The inflatable component can be inflated quickly for easy loading and unloading. The support frame structure is stable and detachable, the limiting component is adaptable to different glass sizes, and the rubber seat reduces the impact of transport bumps, improving the device's flexibility and reliability, thus overcoming the deficiencies of existing technologies.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A windshield transport device for automobile manufacturing includes a carrying pallet. A column is fixed to one side of the upper end face of the carrying pallet. A support frame is installed on the column. Limiting components are installed on the support frame at equal intervals. Two supporting rubber strips are symmetrically fixed to the upper end face of the carrying pallet. Inflatable airbags are fixed at equal intervals between the two supporting rubber strips. Each inflatable airbag is connected to an inflation component. Rubber seats are fixed at the four corners of the lower end face of the carrying pallet.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the upper surfaces of the two supporting rubber strips are provided with placement slots at equal intervals.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the inflation assembly includes an inflation pump fixed on one side of the upper surface of the support plate, the air outlet of the inflation pump is connected to an air supply pipe, one end of the inflation pipe connected to the inflation port of each inflation bag is centrally connected to the air supply pipe, and a one-way valve is installed on the end of the air supply pipe near the inflation pump.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, each of the inflatable airbags is provided with an exhaust valve.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the support frame includes a fixing ring that is fixedly sleeved on the top of the column, and the fixing ring is connected to the column by bolts. An L-shaped support plate is welded to one side of the top of the fixing ring. A vertical rod is inserted into the horizontal section of the L-shaped support plate away from the fixing ring. The lower end of the vertical rod is fixedly connected to the bearing plate.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the limiting component includes threaded rods that are screwed at equal intervals onto the horizontal section of the L-shaped support plate. The bottom end of each threaded rod is rotatably mounted with a U-shaped limiting clip via a bearing. The inner wall of the U-shaped limiting clip is provided with a rubber pad.

[0022] Example 1, referring to Figure 1-4 A windshield transport device for automobile manufacturing includes a carrying pallet 1. A column 3 is fixed to one side of the upper end face of the carrying pallet 1. A support frame is installed on the column 3. Limiting components are installed on the support frame at equal intervals. Two supporting rubber strips 8 are symmetrically fixed to the upper end face of the carrying pallet 1. Inflatable airbags 14 are fixed at equal intervals between the two supporting rubber strips 8. Each inflatable airbag 14 is connected to an inflation component. Rubber seats 10 are fixed at the four corners of the lower end face of the carrying pallet 1.

[0023] The upper surfaces of the two supporting rubber strips 8 are provided with placement slots 7 at equal intervals.

[0024] An inflatable airbag 14 is provided between two adjacent placement slots 7 on the supporting rubber strip 8.

[0025] The inflation assembly includes an air pump 13 fixed to one side of the upper surface of the support plate 1. The air outlet of the air pump 13 is connected to an air supply pipe 11. One end of the inflation pipe 9 connected to the inflation port of each airbag 14 is centrally connected to the air supply pipe 11. A one-way valve 17 is installed on the end of the air supply pipe 11 near the air pump 13.

[0026] The support frame includes a fixing ring 2 that is fixedly sleeved on the top of the column 3, and the fixing ring 2 is connected to the column 3 by bolts 12. An L-shaped support plate 4 is welded to one side of the top of the fixing ring 2. A vertical rod 16 is inserted into the horizontal section of the L-shaped support plate 4 away from the fixing ring 2. The lower end of the vertical rod 16 is fixedly connected to the bearing support plate 1.

[0027] The limiting component includes threaded rods 5 that are screwed at equal intervals onto the horizontal section of the L-shaped support plate 4. Each threaded rod 5 has a U-shaped limiting clip 6 rotatably mounted at its bottom end via a bearing.
