Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile roof manufacturing, and in particular to the assembly equipment for installing the automobile roof sunroof frame onto the automobile roof body. Background Technology

[0002] Existing automotive sunroof frame assembly equipment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a lower mold 7, with a protruding frame 8 mounted on the top wall 20 of the lower mold. A vacuum adsorption frame 21 is positioned directly above the protruding frame 8. An upper mold 4 is mounted on the top wall of the vacuum adsorption frame 21. A vertical cylinder 2 is mounted on the top wall of the upper mold 4. An equipment top plate 1 is mounted on the top wall of the vertical cylinder 2, and the equipment top plate 1 is fixed to the factory ceiling. A downward-facing universal adhesive applicator 6 is mounted on the bottom wall of the equipment top plate 1 next to the upper mold 4. The installation process of the car roof sunroof frame is detailed below. The operator lifts the car roof body (not shown in the figure) directly above the lower mold 7, aligning the sunroof opening of the car roof body with the protruding frame 8. Then, the car roof body is lowered vertically. The car roof body first fits the protruding frame 8 through the sunroof opening, and then continues to fall, finally landing on the top wall 20 of the lower mold. The sunroof frame to be installed is in an unassembled state, with four unconnected sunroof frame beams (front, rear, left, and right). The operator stands in front of the upper mold, lifts the front beam of the sunroof frame and places it in the vacuum suction frame 21, which then holds it in place. The operator lifts the right beam of the sunroof frame and places it in the vacuum suction frame 21, which then holds it in place. The operator lifts the left beam of the sunroof frame and places it in the vacuum suction frame 21, which then holds it in place. The operator then moves to the back of the lower mold and lifts the rear beam of the sunroof frame and places it in the vacuum suction frame 21, which then holds it in place. Next, the omnidirectional adhesive applicator 6 applies adhesive to the perimeter of the top wall of the car roof body near the sunroof opening. The upper mold moves down, pressing the four sunroof beams (front, rear, left, and right) against the four edges of the top wall of the car roof body near the sunroof opening, respectively. The vacuum suction frame 21 stops drawing vacuum, releasing the four sunroof frame beams. The upper mold 4 moves up and resets, leaving the car roof body with the sunroof frame installed on the top wall 20 of the lower mold, ready for the operator to remove. The existing technology has the following drawback: When the operator stands in front of the upper mold and sequentially hands over the front, right, and left beams of the sunroof frame to the front 30, right 31, and left 33 of the bottom wall of the vacuum adsorption frame 21 for adsorption, the operator's hands cannot reach the rear 32 of the bottom wall of the vacuum adsorption frame 21, so the operator cannot hand over the rear beam of the sunroof frame to the rear 32 of the bottom wall of the vacuum adsorption frame 21. The operator has no choice but to walk behind the upper mold to hand over the rear beam of the sunroof frame to the rear 32 of the bottom wall of the vacuum adsorption frame 21 for adsorption. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to provide an assembly device for a car roof sunroof frame. The operator stands in front of the upper mold and can reach the rear of the bottom wall of the vacuum adsorption frame without having to walk behind the upper mold, so as to hand the rear beam of the sunroof frame to the rear of the bottom wall of the vacuum adsorption frame.

[0004] The assembly equipment for the car roof sunroof frame includes an upper mold and a lower mold. The top wall of the lower mold is equipped with a protruding frame, which is used to place the car roof with the sunroof opening fitted into the protruding frame. A universal glue-applying robot is provided on the side of the upper mold. The universal glue-applying robot applies glue to the top wall of the car roof body near the sunroof opening. The front part of the bottom wall of the upper mold is fixed with a horizontally elongated front suction component. The left part of the bottom wall of the upper mold is equipped with a horizontally elongated left suction component to the left of the front suction component. The right part of the bottom wall of the upper mold is equipped with a horizontally elongated right suction component to the right of the front suction component. The rear part of the bottom wall of the upper mold is equipped with a horizontally elongated rear suction component and a driving device behind the left and right suction components. The driving device can drive the rear suction component to move forward. The four suction components (front, rear, left, and right) move closer together to form a frame. The rear suction component is driven forward by the driving device to the front of the bottom wall of the upper mold so as to suction the rear beam of the sunroof frame held up by the operator standing in front of the upper mold.

[0005] Furthermore, the left and right adsorption components are specifically installed on the bottom wall of the upper mold in a way that allows them to move laterally left and right. Under normal conditions, the rear ends of the left and right adsorption components block the left and right parts of the front wall of the rear adsorption component, respectively. When the sunroof frame beam is loaded for the four adsorption components (front, rear, left, and right), the left and right adsorption components move laterally away from each other to avoid the forward-moving rear adsorption component.

[0006] Furthermore, each of the four adsorption components (front, rear, left, and right) is equipped with a vacuum adsorption mechanism to respectively adsorb the four beams of the sunroof frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the upper mold is equipped with front and rear transverse cylinders behind the rear adsorption component, and the front and rear transverse cylinders serve as the driving device to drive the rear adsorption component forward.

[0008] Furthermore, a first left-right transverse cylinder is installed on the bottom wall of the upper mold to the left of the left adsorption component. The first left-right transverse cylinder drives the left adsorption component to move laterally to the left to avoid the forward-moving rear adsorption component. A second left-right transverse cylinder is installed on the bottom wall of the upper mold to the right of the right adsorption component. The second left-right transverse cylinder drives the right adsorption component to move laterally to the right to avoid the forward-moving rear adsorption component.

[0009] The beneficial effects are as follows: The operator stands in front of the upper mold, lifts the front, right, and left beams of the sunroof frame, and sequentially hands them over to the front, right, and left suction components of the vacuum suction frame for adsorption, while remaining stationary and waiting. The rear suction component is driven forward by the drive device to the front of the bottom wall of the upper mold, shortening the distance between it and the operator. The operator can then easily reach the rear suction component with both hands, and then lifts the rear beam of the sunroof frame to hand it over to the rear suction component (equivalent to the rear of the bottom wall of the vacuum suction frame in existing assembly equipment) for adsorption. The operator does not need to walk to the back of the upper mold throughout the entire process, saving time and effort. Attached Figure Description

[0011] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0012] Existing automotive sunroof frame assembly equipment, such as Figure 1As shown, the system includes a lower mold 7, with a protruding frame 8 mounted on the top wall 20 of the lower mold. A vacuum adsorption frame 21 is positioned directly above the protruding frame 8. An upper mold 4 is mounted on the top wall of the vacuum adsorption frame 21. A vertical cylinder 2 is mounted on the top wall of the upper mold 4. An equipment top plate 1 is mounted on the top wall of the vertical cylinder 2 and is fixed to the factory ceiling. A downward-facing universal adhesive applicator 6 is mounted on the bottom wall of the equipment top plate 1 next to the upper mold 4. The installation process of the car roof sunroof frame is detailed below. The operator lifts the car roof body (not shown in the figure) directly above the lower mold 7, aligning the sunroof opening of the car roof body with the protruding frame 8. Then, the car roof body is lowered vertically. The car roof body first fits the protruding frame 8 through the sunroof opening, then continues to fall and finally lands on the top wall 20 of the lower mold. The structure of the bottom wall of the existing assembly equipment's upper mold 4 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Compared with existing assembly equipment, the only difference in the assembly equipment of this utility model is the structure of the bottom wall of the upper mold 4; the rest of the structure remains the same. The structure of the bottom wall of the upper mold 4 of this assembly equipment is described in detail below.

[0013] The upper mold of this assembly equipment is 4. Figure 3 As shown, a horizontally elongated front adsorption component 5 is fixedly mounted on the front part 30 of the bottom wall of the upper mold 4. A horizontally elongated left adsorption component 11 is mounted on the left side of the front adsorption component 5 on the left part 33 of the bottom wall of the upper mold 4, and a first horizontal cylinder 16 is mounted to the left of the left adsorption component 11 to drive it to move horizontally left and right. A horizontally elongated right adsorption component 10 is mounted on the right side of the front adsorption component 5 on the right part 31 of the bottom wall of the upper mold 4, and a second horizontal cylinder 12 is mounted to the right of the right adsorption component 10 to drive it to move horizontally left and right. A horizontally elongated rear adsorption component 9 is mounted on the rear part 32 of the bottom wall of the upper mold 4, and a horizontal cylinder 14 is mounted behind the rear adsorption component 9, which acts as a driving device to drive the rear adsorption component 9 to move horizontally back and forth.

[0014] Under normal circumstances, such as Figure 3 As shown, four adsorption components 5, 9, 11, and 10 (front, rear, left, and right) are arranged close together to form a frame. The rear ends of the left and right adsorption components 11 and 10 respectively block the left and right parts of the front wall of the rear adsorption component 9, and the front ends of the left and right adsorption components 11 and 10 are blocked by the left and right parts of the rear wall of the front adsorption component 5. Each of the four adsorption components 5, 9, 11, and 10 is equipped with a vacuum adsorption mechanism for adsorbing the skylight frame to be installed. The skylight frame to be installed is in an unassembled state, with four unconnected skylight frame beams (front, rear, left, and right). With the front, rear, left, and right skylight frame beams loaded onto the four adsorption components 5, 9, 11, and 10, the operator stands in front of the upper mold 4, lifts the front, right, and left skylight frame beams of the skylight frame, and sequentially hands them over to the front adsorption component 5, right adsorption component 10, and left adsorption component 11 of the vacuum adsorption frame 21 for adsorption. The operator stands in place while operating the assembly equipment, such as... Figure 4As shown, the first left and right transverse cylinder 16 drives the left adsorption component 11 to move to the left, and the second left and right transverse cylinder 12 drives the right adsorption component 10 to move to the right. The rear ends of the left and right adsorption components 11 and 10 no longer block the left and right parts of the front wall of the rear adsorption component 9. Driven by the front and rear transverse cylinders 14, the rear adsorption component 9 moves forward to the front part 30 of the bottom wall of the upper mold 4, shortening the distance between it and the operator. The operator can reach the rear adsorption component 9 even while standing still, and lift the sunroof frame rear beam to hand it over to the rear adsorption component 9 for adsorption. At this point, the four adsorption components 5, 9, 11, and 10 (front, rear, left, and right) are respectively installed on the front, rear, left, and right sunroof frame beams.

[0015] Subsequently, the rear adsorption component 9, left adsorption component 11, and right adsorption component 10 are reset and restored. Figure 3 In the current state, the omnidirectional adhesive applicator 6 applies adhesive to the perimeter of the top wall of the car roof body near the sunroof opening. The upper mold 4 moves down to press the four sunroof beams (front, rear, left, and right) onto the four edges of the top wall of the car roof body near the sunroof opening, respectively, and they are firmly adhered. The four suction components 5, 9, 11, and 10 of the vacuum suction frame 21 stop vacuuming, thereby releasing the four sunroof frame beams. The upper mold 4 moves up to reset, and the car roof body with the sunroof frame installed remains on the top wall 20 of the lower mold, waiting for the operator to remove it.

[0016] 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.
