[0037] In this application, "multiple" means two or more (including two).

[0038] In conventional vehicle assembly manufacturing, the vehicle components to be assembled typically lack mobility and have an operating surface under the vehicle body. Therefore, various forms of mechanical transport lines and their interconnections are needed to create this operating surface and form an assembly line. Traditional assembly workshops often use interior sliding or chain conveyor lines, chassis clamp conveyor lines, etc., which involve civil engineering modifications and mechanical transport line investments, resulting in a large investment in fixed assets. Furthermore, subsequent modifications are extensive, and downtime is long, making it impossible to meet the current market's demand for rapid response.

[0039] Therefore, this application provides a navigation component, a production line for vehicle assembly, a chassis assembly, an integrated chassis, and a vehicle. The navigation component can be installed on the chassis and guided to travel along a predetermined route for use in a vehicle assembly line. The self-propelled function of the chassis assists in vehicle assembly, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost, modification cost, manufacturing cycle, and modification cycle of vehicle assembly, improves the production efficiency of the production line, and easily meets the rapid response needs of the existing market.

[0040] The navigation component 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Reference Figures 1-9 As shown, the navigation component 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is used in the production line 1000 for the final assembly of vehicle 2000. The final assembly of vehicle 2000 refers to the process of assembling multiple components into a complete vehicle 2000 through a systematic process.

[0042] Specifically, the navigation component 100 includes a mounting module 10, which is mounted on the chassis 2110 of the vehicle 2000. The chassis 2110 is the chassis of the vehicle 2000, and the vehicle 2000 may also include body, interior, and exterior components in addition to the chassis 2110. The mounting module 10 can be mounted on the chassis 2110 using one or more combinations of bolting, snap-fitting, welding, riveting, bonding, and other mounting methods. This allows the navigation component 100 to be more securely mounted on the chassis 2110, preventing it from shaking or falling off, thus improving the operational stability of the navigation component 100 on the production line 1000.

[0043] The navigation component 100 also includes a navigation controller 20, which is mounted on the mounting module 10. The navigation controller 20 can be mounted on the mounting module 10 by one or more combinations of bolting, snap-fitting, welding, riveting, bonding, and other mounting methods, so that the navigation controller 20 can be mounted on the mounting module 10 more firmly and stably. The internal components of the navigation component 100 are less likely to move relative to each other, which helps to improve the overall consistency of the navigation component 100 and makes the operation of the navigation component 100 more stable.

[0044] The navigation controller 20 is provided with a first electrical connector 21, which is used to electrically connect with the wiring harness plug 2114 of the self-propelled controller of the chassis 2110, so that the navigation controller 20 is electrically connected to the self-propelled controller to guide the chassis 2110 to travel along a predetermined route through multiple installation stations 200 of the production line 1000 under its own power. For example, in some embodiments, the chassis 2110 has a power module, a self-propelled controller, a driving system, a steering system and a braking system. The power module provides power to the chassis 2110, and the self-propelled controller controls the driving system, steering system and braking system to realize the driving, acceleration, steering and braking functions of the chassis 2110, so that the chassis 2110 can travel under its own power. Through the navigation component 100, the chassis 2110 can automatically travel to the production line 1000 or storage warehouse to be further assembled under its own power.

[0045] The first electrical connector 21 can be a wiring harness or other component that can be electrically connected to the wiring harness plug-in 2114. The first electrical connector 21 and the wiring harness plug-in 2114 can be connected by wire or wireless means. The wiring harness plug-in 2114 is a component on the chassis 2110 that is electrically connected to the self-propelled controller. For example, in some specific embodiments, the wiring harness plug-in 2114 is a front bumper wiring harness plug on the chassis 2110 that can be electrically connected to the front bumper 2120.

[0046] The electrical connection between the first electrical connector 21 and the wiring harness plug 2114 enables the electrical connection between the navigation controller 20 and the self-propelled controller. This allows the self-propelled controller to control the chassis 2110 to travel along a predetermined route under the guidance of the navigation controller 20. This includes actions such as acceleration, braking, and steering along the predetermined route, giving the chassis 2110 the ability to perceive and control its surroundings. The predetermined route is the path through which the chassis 2110 passes multiple installation stations 200 on the production line 1000. This application does not specifically limit the predetermined route; it can be modified, for example, by using the navigation controller 20 to define or change the route.

[0047] Different installation stations 200 on production line 1000 can assemble the same or different components. Under the guidance of navigation controller 20, chassis 2110 travels along a predetermined route through multiple installation stations 200, completing the assembly process of multiple components to form a systematic connection strategy for the final assembly of vehicle 2000. By changing the predetermined route, the number and order of installation stations 200 traversed by chassis 2110 can be changed to achieve assembly work with different quantities and orders of multiple components.

[0048] In this application, a navigation component 100 is installed on the chassis 2110 in the production line 1000. Guided by the navigation component 100, the chassis 2110 travels along a predetermined route, passing through multiple installation stations 200 of the production line 1000 to form an assembly process flow. Different components of the vehicle 2000 are then assembled onto the chassis 2110, completing the assembly of the vehicle 2000. This route-following mechanism also reduces high-position operations, such as eliminating the need for hoisting equipment at multiple installation stations 200, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and cycle time of the vehicle 2000 and improving its manufacturing efficiency.

[0049] In the event of modification or capacity expansion, the predetermined route can be changed according to the modification requirements and the corresponding installation station 200 can be set up so that the chassis 2110 can travel along the modified predetermined route under the guidance of the navigation component 100, thereby meeting the modification or capacity expansion requirements, simplifying the modification work, reducing the modification cost, shortening the downtime cycle, easily meeting the existing market's rapid response requirements, and adapting to the industry status quo of accelerated vehicle iteration cycles.

[0050] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the navigation component 100 can be installed on the chassis 2110 and guide the chassis 2110 to travel along a predetermined route for use in the production line 1000 for vehicle 2000 final assembly. The self-propelled function of the chassis 2110 assists in the final assembly of the vehicle 2000, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost, modification cost, manufacturing cycle and modification cycle of the vehicle 2000 final assembly, improves the production efficiency of the production line 1000, and easily meets the rapid response needs of the existing market.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the navigation component 100 also includes an obstacle avoidance component 30 that is communicatively connected to the navigation controller 20. The obstacle avoidance component 30 and the navigation controller 20 can communicate via a wired or wireless connection, and the obstacle avoidance component 30 can be a sensor or other components.

[0052] The obstacle avoidance component 30 is installed on the mounting module 10. The obstacle avoidance component 30 can be installed on the mounting module 10 by one or more combinations of bolt connection, snap-fit, welding, riveting, bonding and other installation methods, so that the obstacle avoidance component 30 can be installed on the mounting module 10 more firmly and stably, and the internal components of the navigation component 100 are less likely to move relative to each other, which helps to improve the overall consistency of the navigation component 100 and make the operation of the navigation component 100 more stable.

[0053] The obstacle avoidance component 30 is used to acquire the position information of obstacles and transmit it to the navigation controller 20. The navigation controller 20 is also used to control the chassis 2110 to avoid obstacles based on the position information of the obstacles. An obstacle refers to an object that obstructs the chassis 2110 from traveling along a predetermined route, such as an object located in front of or to the side of the chassis 2110 along the predetermined route that may obstruct the travel of the chassis 2110. The position information of the obstacle refers to the position of the obstacle detected by the obstacle avoidance component 30 relative to itself. It may also include the actual size of the obstacle, which helps to improve the obstacle avoidance accuracy of the obstacle avoidance component 30.

[0054] Through the communication connection between the obstacle avoidance component 30 and the navigation controller 20, the navigation controller 20 can obtain the location information of the obstacle, and control the chassis 2110 to avoid the obstacle according to the information through the self-propelled controller. This improves the safety of the navigation component 100 guiding the chassis 2110 to travel along the predetermined route in the production line 1000 and the installation accuracy of the chassis 2110 at multiple installation stations 200, which helps to improve the efficiency of the final assembly of the vehicle 2000.

[0055] The obstacle avoidance component 30 can perform area scanning obstacle avoidance or other obstacle avoidance functions. For example, in some embodiments, the obstacle avoidance component 30 can emit lasers around itself to obtain the position and size of surrounding obstacles. In other embodiments, the obstacle avoidance component 30 can capture images of its surrounding environment and use visual algorithms to calculate whether there are obstacles in the images, and the position and size of the obstacles. Of course, the obstacle avoidance component 30 can also obtain obstacle information through other structures.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the mounting module 10 includes a mounting rod 11, a navigation controller 20 mounted in the middle of the mounting rod 11, and two obstacle avoidance components 30, which are respectively mounted at both ends of the mounting rod 11 along its length. This ensures that the mounting rod 11 is subjected to more even force, preventing it from breaking due to excessive load at any point, and thus improving the structural strength of the navigation component 100.

[0057] The length direction of the mounting rod 11 can be parallel to or intersect with the width direction of the vehicle 2000. By mounting the two obstacle avoidance components 30 at both ends of the length direction of the mounting rod 11, and placing the two obstacle avoidance components 30 at the edges of the navigation component 100, the detection space of the two obstacle avoidance components 30 can be increased. This allows the obstacle avoidance components 30 to obtain the position information of obstacles in a larger nearby space as much as possible, reducing the possibility that there are obstacles near the obstacle avoidance components 30 that are not detected by the obstacle avoidance components 30. This helps to improve the detection accuracy of the obstacle avoidance components 30, thereby improving the obstacle avoidance accuracy and reliability of the navigation component 100, and improving the safety of the navigation component 100 in guiding the chassis 2110 along the predetermined route.

[0058] The navigation component 100 can also acquire the position information of the chassis 2110. For example, the navigation controller 20 integrates a positioning function that can acquire the position information of the chassis 2110, making the navigation component 100 structurally simple yet functionally rich. The navigation component 100 may also include other components with positioning functions.

[0059] Specifically, for example, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the navigation component 100 also includes a positioning component 40 that is communicatively connected to the navigation controller 20. The positioning component 40 and the navigation controller 20 can communicate via a wired or wireless connection. The positioning component 40 can be a sensor (such as a laser sensor) or other components.

[0060] The positioning component 40 is installed on the mounting module 10. The positioning component 40 can be installed on the mounting module 10 by one or more combinations of bolt connection, snap-fit, welding, riveting, bonding and other installation methods, so that the positioning component 40 can be installed on the mounting module 10 more firmly and stably, and the internal components of the navigation component 100 are less likely to move relative to each other, which helps to improve the overall consistency of the navigation component 100 and make the operation of the navigation component 100 more stable.

[0061] The positioning component 40 acquires the position information of the chassis 2110 and transmits it to the navigation controller 20. The navigation controller 20 controls the chassis 2110 to move based on the position information. The position information of the chassis 2110 refers to its position on a predetermined route, enabling the navigation component 100 to control the chassis 2110's state, such as driving, steering, and braking. For example, when the navigation component 100 determines that the chassis 2110 is at a position on the predetermined route where it needs to turn, it controls the chassis 2110 to turn; or when the navigation component 100 determines that the chassis 2110 is at the last installation station 200 on the predetermined route, it controls the chassis 2110 to stop, and so on.

[0062] The communication connection between the positioning component 40 and the navigation controller 20 enables the navigation controller 20 to acquire the position information of the chassis 2110. Based on this information, the navigation controller 20 can control the chassis 2110 to travel along a predetermined route, reducing the possibility of deviation between the actual route and the predetermined route, thus improving the accuracy of the chassis 2110 traveling along the predetermined route. Furthermore, acquiring the position information of the chassis 2110 through a single positioning component 40 improves the positioning accuracy of the positioning component 40.

[0063] In some embodiments, the navigation component 100 may also include an HMI (Human Machine Interface) interactive screen, power on / off buttons, and an emergency stop button, making the navigation component 100 more versatile.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the mounting module 10 includes a mounting rod 11, a connector 12, and at least one clamping member 13. The navigation controller 20 is mounted on the mounting rod 11. One end of the connector 12, perpendicular to the length of the mounting rod 11, is connected to the mounting rod 11. The clamping member 13 is mounted on the other end of the connector 12 and is used for detachable connection to the chassis 2110.

[0065] The mounting rod 11 and the clamping member 13 are connected by the connector 12, allowing for greater flexibility in their relative positions and facilitating the installation of the navigation component 100 onto the chassis 2110. The extension direction of the connector 12 is perpendicular to the length direction of the mounting rod 11, ensuring that the arrangement of the mounting rod 11 and the connector 12 is perpendicular to the length direction of the mounting rod 11. This helps reduce the overall volume of the mounting module 10, miniaturizing the navigation component 100 and facilitating its installation on different parts of the chassis 2110.

[0066] The navigation component 100 is detachably connected to the chassis 2110 via the clamping member 13, making the detachable connection between the navigation component 100 and the chassis 2110 more convenient and improving the efficiency of assembly and disassembly between the navigation component 100 and the chassis 2110. The detachable connection between the navigation component 100 and the chassis 2110 allows the navigation component 100 to be removed from the chassis 2110 and installed on the next chassis 2110 requiring final assembly of the vehicle 2000 when the navigation component 100 guides the chassis 2110 to the last installation station 200 of the predetermined route. This enables the recycling of the navigation component 100 and improves economic efficiency.

[0067] The number of clamping members 13 can be one, two, three, or more. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, there are two clamping members 13 arranged symmetrically with respect to the middle of the mounting rod 11. This ensures that the number of clamping members 13 is not too small to improve the installation firmness, and that the number of clamping members 13 is not too large to achieve the lightweighting of the navigation component 100, which is conducive to improving the self-walking speed of the chassis 2110 and thus improving the production efficiency of the production line 1000.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the clamping member 13 includes a clamping part and an operating part connected together. The operating part extends outward in a direction away from the clamping part. The clamping part has a clamping opening. The operating part drives the clamping part to move, so that the mounting opening is connected to or separated from the chassis 2110. During the disassembly and assembly of the navigation component 100 and the chassis 2110, only the operating part needs to be operated (e.g., pressing the operating part downward or prying the operating part upward) to remove the clamping member 13 from the chassis 2110, or to clamp and install the clamping member 13 onto the chassis 2110, which is convenient to operate.

[0069] like Figures 6-9 As shown, the production line 1000 for vehicle 2000 final assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes multiple installation stations 200 and at least one navigation component 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The navigation component 100 is connected to the chassis 2110 to guide the chassis 2110 to travel along a predetermined route through the multiple installation stations 200 under its own power. The production line 1000 may include one, two, three or more navigation components 100, which is beneficial for the simultaneous production of multiple vehicles 2000, and the production efficiency of the production line 1000 is higher.

[0070] Since the navigation component 100 according to the present invention has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the production line 1000 for vehicle 2000 assembly according to the present invention can install the navigation component 100 on the chassis 2110 and guide the chassis 2110 to travel along a predetermined route for vehicle 2000 assembly. The self-propelled function of the chassis 2110 is used to assist in vehicle 2000 assembly, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost, modification cost, manufacturing cycle and modification cycle of vehicle 2000 assembly, improve the production efficiency of the production line 1000, and easily meet the current market demand for rapid response.

[0071] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the chassis assembly 4000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a chassis 2110. The chassis 2110 includes a self-propelled controller, an installation and mating module 2112, and a wiring harness plug-in 2114. The self-propelled controller controls the chassis 2110 to move under its own power. The self-propelled controller is electrically connected to the wiring harness plug-in 2114. The installation and mating module 2112 is used to connect to the installation module 10 of the navigation component 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention during the final assembly of the vehicle 2000. The wiring harness plug-in 2114 is used to electrically connect to the navigation controller 20 of the navigation component 100 during the final assembly of the vehicle 2000.

[0072] During the final assembly of vehicle 2000, the navigation component 100 can be installed on chassis 2110 through the connection between installation module 10 and installation mating module 2112. Through the electrical connection between navigation controller 20 and wiring harness plug 2114, the electrical connection between navigation controller 20 and self-propelled controller can be realized, so that during the final assembly of vehicle 2000, the navigation controller 20 guides chassis 2110 to travel along a predetermined route.

[0073] At the end of the vehicle 2000 final assembly process, the chassis 2110 is driven to the last installation station 200 on the predetermined route. At this point, the navigation component 100 can be removed from the chassis 2110, and the front bumper 2120 can be installed on the chassis 2110 to form the chassis assembly 4000. Specifically, as follows... Figure 11 As shown, the chassis assembly 4000 also includes a front bumper 2120, which has a detection sensor and a second electrical connector connected to the detection sensor. The second electrical connector can be electrically connected to the wiring harness connector 2114 after the first electrical connector 21 is separated from the wiring harness connector 2114.

[0074] The detection sensors of the front bumper 2120 may include one or more of the following: angular radar, active grille shutter, ACC (adaptive cruise control) radar, and other components. The second electrical connector may be a wiring harness or other component capable of being electrically connected to the wiring harness connector 2114, and the second electrical connector and the wiring harness connector 2114 may be connected by wire or wireless means.

[0075] By connecting the second electrical connector to the detection sensor, the second electrical connector is electrically connected to the wiring harness plug-in 2114, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the detection sensor and the self-propelled controller. This allows the chassis assembly 4000 to combine self-propelled and detection functions, improving the integration of the chassis assembly 4000.

[0076] Furthermore, the wiring harness connector 2114 can be electrically connected sequentially to the navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120, eliminating the need to separately connect the navigation component 100 to the self-driving controller and the front bumper 2120 to the self-driving controller. This saves on the cost of additional wiring harnesses and connectors and avoids adding extra hardware that might affect the overall vehicle layout. Moreover, after the navigation component 100 is separated from the wiring harness connector 2114, the front bumper 2120 can be electrically connected to the wiring harness connector 2114. This prevents the chassis assembly 4000 from experiencing communication data leakage due to empty interfaces caused by the connection requirements with the navigation component 100, reducing the risk of data leakage and facilitating signal security protection.

[0077] According to the chassis assembly 4000 of this utility model embodiment, during the final assembly of vehicle 2000, the wiring harness plug 2114 can be electrically connected sequentially to the navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120, which helps reduce the cost of additional wiring harnesses, reduce the risk of data leakage, and improve data security. During the electrical connection between the wiring harness plug 2114 and the navigation component 100, the navigation component 100 can be installed on the chassis 2110 and guided to travel along a predetermined route for use on the production line 1000 for vehicle 2000 final assembly. Utilizing the self-propelled function of the chassis 2110 assists in the final assembly of vehicle 2000, which helps reduce the manufacturing cost, modification cost, manufacturing cycle, and modification cycle of vehicle 2000 final assembly, improves the production efficiency of the production line 1000, and easily meets the rapid response needs of the current market. The electrical connection between the wiring harness plug 2114 and the front bumper 2120 also makes the chassis assembly 4000 more functional.

[0078] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 10 As shown, the chassis 2110 includes a power module, and the wiring harness connector 2114 has a power supply pin 2115 electrically connected to the power module. The power supply pin 2115 is used to electrically connect to either a second electrical connector or a first electrical connector 21. When the power supply pin 2115 is connected to the second electrical connector, the power module can supply power to the front bumper 2120 via the power supply pin 2115. When the power supply pin 2115 is connected to the first electrical connector 21, the power module can supply power to the navigation assembly 100 via the power supply pin 2115.

[0079] The power supply pin 2115 is connected to the first electrical connector 21 or the second electrical connector. For example, the power supply pin 2115 is connected to the navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120 in sequence, so that the navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120 are both powered by the same power supply pin 2115. There is no need to develop a separate power supply system and power module for the navigation component 100 or the front bumper 2120. This is beneficial to maintain the stability and sustainability of the power module and also to reduce development costs.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 The center harness connector 2114 has multiple large-diameter (0.75mm) pins and multiple small-diameter (0.35mm) pins. The large-diameter pins serve as power supply pins 2115, electrically connecting the navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120 respectively. This improves the current carrying capacity of the power supply pins 2115 and enhances the power supply stability of the navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120. Specifically, the voltage at the power supply pins 2115 is 12V, corresponding to a maximum fuse current of 5A, supporting a maximum power of 60W, which meets the power supply requirements of the navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120.

[0081] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 10 As shown, the wiring harness connector 2114 has multiple communication pins 2116, each including at least a first signal pin 2117 and a second signal pin 2118. The first signal pin 2117 is used for electrical connection with a second electrical connector, and the second signal pin 2118 is used for electrical connection with a first electrical connector 21. In addition to the first signal pin 2117 and the second signal pin 2118, the multiple communication pins 2116 may also include other signal pins for subsequent functional expansion, such as the ability to connect to other components to transmit information.

[0082] The navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120 are electrically connected to the second electrical connector via the first signal pin 2117 and to the first electrical connector 21 via the second signal pin 2118, respectively. This allows them to connect to different communication pins 2116 of the wiring harness connector to achieve communication. This reduces the risk of communication confusion between the navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120 and the wiring harness connector, and improves the reliability of the communication connection between the navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120 and the wiring harness connector.

[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, there are four second signal pins 2118, which provides two circuits between the navigation component 100 and the self-propelled controller. If one circuit fails, the other circuit can be used to connect the navigation component 100 and the self-propelled controller, thereby improving the reliability of the navigation component 100 guiding the chassis 2110 along a predetermined route through the self-propelled controller.

[0084] The second signal pins 2118 are all small-diameter pins. The communication connection between the navigation component 100 and the self-propelled controller can be met by the small-diameter pins, so more large-diameter pins can be reserved for subsequent functional expansion.

[0085] To make the diagram simpler, in Figure 10 Only three first signal pins, 2117, are marked in the code; the actual... Figure 10 Except for the power supply pin 2115, the second signal pin 2118, and the pin marked with a solid circle, all others are the first signal pin 2117.

[0086] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting module 2112 is the front buffer beam of the chassis 2110 and includes a clamping engagement part 2113, which is used to clamp and engage with the clamping member 13 of the navigation component 100. The front buffer beam has high rigidity, which is sufficient to support the installation of the navigation component 100, reducing the possibility of the navigation component 100 shaking and improving the working stability of the navigation component 100. Through the clamping engagement part 2113, the chassis 2110 and the navigation component 100 can be detachably connected, and the operation is convenient, which helps to improve the efficiency of disassembly and assembly between the navigation component 100 and the chassis 2110.

[0087] The front buffer beam is located at the front of the chassis assembly 4000, which helps improve the navigation accuracy and safety of the navigation component 100. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figures 1-8As shown, the navigation component 100 also includes two obstacle avoidance components 30, which are located on the front edge of the chassis 2110, respectively. This increases the detection space of the obstacle avoidance components 30, reduces the possibility of the navigation component 100 being obstructed by obstacles, and improves the safety of the navigation component 100.

[0088] In some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting module 2112 is the front buffer beam of the chassis 2110 and has a first positioning hole, while the mounting module 10 of the navigation component 100 has a second positioning hole. The first and second positioning holes are positioned and engaged by a positioning element. The positioning element can be a pin, stud, or other component. After the positioning element engages with the first and second positioning holes respectively (for example, the positioning element passes through the first and second positioning holes in sequence), the relative positions of the mounting module 10 and the mounting module 2112 are restricted. The shape and size of the first and second positioning holes are not limited, as long as the first and second positioning holes can be positioned and engaged by the positioning element.

[0089] The cooperation of the positioning component, the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole can improve the assembly accuracy of the navigation component 100 installed on the chassis 2110, thereby improving the accuracy of the chassis 2110 traveling along the predetermined route, making it less likely for the actual route of the chassis 2110 to deviate from the predetermined route.

[0090] like Figures 5-9 and Figure 11 As shown, the integrated chassis 3000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a navigation component 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention and a chassis 2110 in a chassis assembly 4000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Since the navigation component 100 and chassis 2110 according to the present invention have the aforementioned beneficial technical effects, the integrated chassis 3000 according to an embodiment of the present invention can realize mechanical and electrical connections between the navigation component 100 and the chassis 2110. The navigation component 100 guides the chassis 2110 to travel along a predetermined route for use in the production line 1000 for vehicle 2000 final assembly. The self-propelled function of the chassis 2110 assists in the final assembly of the vehicle 2000, which helps reduce the manufacturing cost, modification cost, manufacturing cycle, and modification cycle of the vehicle 2000 final assembly, improves the production efficiency of the production line 1000, and easily meets the rapid response needs of the existing market.

[0091] It should be noted that, Figure 11 It is indicated that when the chassis 2110 is connected to the front bumper 2120, it forms a chassis assembly 4000; when the chassis 2110 is connected to the navigation component 100, it forms an integrated chassis 3000.

[0092] like Figures 6-9As shown, the vehicle 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a chassis assembly 4000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Since the chassis assembly 4000 according to an embodiment of the present invention has the aforementioned beneficial technical effects, the vehicle 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention can, during the final assembly of the vehicle 2000, sequentially connect the wiring harness plug 2114 to the navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120, which helps reduce the cost of additional wiring harnesses, reduce the risk of data leakage, and improve data security. During the electrical connection between the wiring harness plug 2114 and the navigation component 100, the navigation component 100 can be installed on the chassis 2110 and guided to travel along a predetermined route for use on the production line 1000 for the final assembly of the vehicle 2000. Utilizing the self-propelled function of the chassis 2110 assists in the final assembly of the vehicle 2000, it helps reduce the manufacturing cost, modification cost, manufacturing cycle, and modification cycle of the final assembly of the vehicle 2000, improves the production efficiency of the production line 1000, and easily meets the rapid response needs of the existing market. The electrical connection between the wiring harness plug 2114 and the front bumper 2120 makes the chassis assembly 4000 more versatile.

[0093] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a specific embodiment of the present invention, including a navigation component 100, a production line 1000 for vehicle 2000 final assembly, a chassis assembly 4000, an integrated chassis 3000, and a vehicle 2000. It is to be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0094] like Figures 1-11 As shown, a vehicle 2000 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention includes a chassis assembly 4000 and a body. The chassis assembly 4000 includes a chassis 2110 and a front bumper 2120. An integrated chassis 3000 includes a chassis 2110 and a navigation component 100. The integrated chassis 3000 is used in a production line 1000. The production line 1000 for the final assembly of the vehicle 2000 includes multiple installation stations 200 and a navigation component 100. The navigation component 100 is detachably mounted to the chassis 2110 and is used to connect to the chassis 2110 to guide the chassis 2110 along a predetermined route through the multiple installation stations 200.

[0095] The navigation component 100 includes a mounting module 10, a navigation controller 20, an obstacle avoidance component 30, and a positioning component 40. The mounting module 10 is mounted on the mounting mating module 2112 of the chassis 2110. The navigation controller 20, the obstacle avoidance component 30, and the positioning component 40 are all mounted on the mounting module 10. The navigation controller 20 is provided with a first electrical connector 12, which is used to electrically connect with the wiring harness plug-in 2114 of the chassis 2110. This allows the navigation controller 20 to be electrically connected to the self-propelled controller in the chassis 2110 that is electrically connected to the wiring harness plug-in 2114, so as to guide the chassis 2110 to travel along a predetermined route through multiple installation stations 200 of the production line 1000.

[0096] The mounting module 10 includes a mounting rod 11, a connector 12, and two clamping members 13. The navigation controller 20 is mounted on the mounting rod 11. One end of the connector 12, perpendicular to the length of the mounting rod 11, is connected to the mounting rod 11. The clamping members 13 are mounted on the other end of the connector 12 and are used to detachably connect to the chassis 2110.

[0097] The navigation controller 20 is mounted in the middle of the mounting rod 11, and two obstacle avoidance components 30 are mounted at opposite ends of the mounting rod 11 along its length. The obstacle avoidance components 30 acquire the position information of obstacles and transmit this information to the navigation controller 20. The navigation controller 20 also controls the chassis 2110 to avoid obstacles based on the obstacle position information. The positioning component 40 acquires the position information of the chassis 2110 and transmits this information to the navigation controller 20. The navigation controller 20 controls the chassis 2110 to move based on the chassis 2110's position information.

[0098] The chassis 2110 includes a self-propelled controller, a mounting module 2112, a wiring harness connector 2114, and a power module. The self-propelled controller is electrically connected to the wiring harness connector 2114. The mounting module 2112 is used to connect to the mounting module 10 during the final assembly of the vehicle 2000. The wiring harness connector 2114 is used to electrically connect to the navigation controller 20 of the navigation component 100 during the final assembly of the vehicle 2000. The front bumper 2120 has a detection sensor and a second electrical connector connected to the detection sensor. The second electrical connector can be electrically connected to the wiring harness connector 2114 after the first electrical connector 21 is separated from the wiring harness connector 2114.

[0099] The wiring harness connector 2114 has a power supply pin 2115 that is electrically connected to the power module. The power supply pin 2115 is used for electrical connection with either the second electrical connector or the first electrical connector 21. The wiring harness connector 2114 has a plurality of communication pins 2116, which include at least a first signal pin 2117 and a second signal pin 2118. The first signal pin 2117 is used for electrical connection with the second electrical connector, and the second signal pin 2118 is used for electrical connection with the first electrical connector 21.

[0100] The mounting module 2112 is the front buffer beam of the chassis 2110 and includes a clamping part 2113, which is used to clamp and engage with the clamping member 13 of the navigation component 100. The mounting module 2112 is provided with a first positioning hole, and the mounting module 10 of the navigation component 100 is provided with a second positioning hole. The first positioning hole and the second positioning hole are positioned and engaged by a positioning member.

[0101] In the production line 1000 for the final assembly of vehicle 2000, at the first installation station 200, the navigation component 100 is first installed on the chassis 2110. Then, the chassis 2110 moves along a predetermined route to the second installation station 200 of the production line 1000. Guided by the navigation component 100, the chassis 2110 passes through multiple installation stations 200 along the predetermined route, so that the body and other components are assembled onto the chassis 2110 in sequence. During the movement of the chassis 2110 along the predetermined route, the navigation component 100 guides the chassis 2110 and controls the chassis 2110 to avoid obstacles.

[0102] With the chassis 2110 traveling along the predetermined route to the last installation station 200, the installation module 10 of the navigation component 100 is separated from the installation mating module 2112 of the chassis 2110. The electrical connection between the first electrical connector 21 of the navigation component 100 and the wiring harness plug 2114 of the chassis 2110 is disconnected, thereby removing the navigation component 100 from the chassis 2110. Then, the front bumper 2120 is installed on the chassis 2110, and the second electrical connector of the front bumper 2120 is electrically connected to the wiring harness plug 2114 of the chassis 2110, completing the assembly of one vehicle 2000. The removed navigation component 100 can be installed on the chassis 2110 of the next vehicle 2000 assembly to assist in completing the assembly of the next vehicle 2000.

[0103] During the final assembly of vehicle 2000, the wiring harness connector 2114 is electrically connected sequentially to the navigation component 100 and the front bumper 2120. This reduces the cost of additional wiring harnesses, lowers the risk of data leakage, and improves data security. During the electrical connection between the wiring harness connector 2114 and the navigation component 100, the navigation component 100 can be installed on the chassis 2110 and guided along a predetermined route for use on the production line 1000 of vehicle 2000 final assembly. Utilizing the self-propelled function of the chassis 2110 assists in the final assembly of vehicle 2000, which helps reduce the manufacturing cost, modification cost, manufacturing cycle, and modification cycle of vehicle 2000 final assembly, improves the production efficiency of production line 1000, and easily meets the rapid response needs of the current market. The electrical connection between the wiring harness connector 2114 and the front bumper 2120 also diversifies the functions of the chassis assembly 4000.

[0104] The navigation component 100, the production line 1000 for the final assembly of the vehicle 2000, the chassis assembly 4000, the integrated chassis 3000, and other components and operations of the vehicle 2000 according to embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
