[0021] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application can be combined with other embodiments.

[0022] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "attachment" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] In this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, in this application, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0024] In this application, "multiple" refers to two or more (including two), similarly, "multiple sets" refers to two or more (including two sets), and "multiple pieces" refers to two or more (including two pieces).

[0025] It should be noted that automotive glass is installed in various parts of the vehicle body, varying in location and size; common types include: windshield, rear windshield, side windows, and sunroof. Whether in automotive production assembly or rework installation, to reduce worker fatigue and avoid workers directly handling the glass, auxiliary fixtures are typically used to hold the glass in place, assisting in its movement and position adjustment.

[0026] However, existing auxiliary tooling is relatively simple, usually consisting of only a few suction cups or other parts with adsorption functions; it is usually only suitable for a single size or specific model of glass; installing different specifications of automotive glass requires changing to the corresponding auxiliary tooling, which on the one hand reduces the versatility of auxiliary tooling, and on the other hand greatly reduces the efficiency of automotive glass disassembly and installation.

[0027] In view of this, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an auxiliary tooling 100 for installing automotive glass according to an embodiment of this application includes a support frame 1, an adjustment mechanism 2, and a suction cup assembly 3. The support frame 1 is provided with a first channel 10 through which the car glass can pass; it can be understood that the first channel 10 in the support frame 1 is provided to provide space for the placement and adjustment of the car glass; The adjusting mechanism 2 is disposed in the first channel 10 and is rotatably connected to the support frame 1; The suction cup assembly 3 consists of at least two sets arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart along the first direction X. The suction cup assembly 3 is connected to the distance adjustment mechanism 2, which is used to adjust the distance between each set of suction cup assemblies 3. The suction cup assembly 3 includes a support plate 31 and a suction cup 32. The support plate 31 is slidably connected to the distance adjustment mechanism 2, and the suction cup 32 is provided on the support plate 31.

[0028] It is understandable that, since the suction cup assembly 3 is connected to the adjusting mechanism 2, and the adjusting mechanism 2 is located in the first channel 10 and rotatably connected to the support frame 1, the car glass can be supported by the support frame 1 and placed in the first channel 10, eliminating the need for workers to directly hold the car glass; and the angle of the car glass can be adjusted by the relative rotation between the adjusting mechanism 2 and the support frame 1, so as to install the car glass to different positions on the car body.

[0029] Since the adjusting mechanism 2 is used to adjust the distance between each group of suction cup assemblies 3, and the support plate 31 in the suction cup assembly 3 is slidably connected to the adjusting mechanism 2, and the support plate 31 is provided with the suction cup 32; that is, the adjusting mechanism 2 can adjust the distance between the suction cups 32 in each group of suction cup assemblies 3 to be suitable for different sizes of automotive glass, thereby improving the versatility of the auxiliary tooling 100 for installing automotive glass, and thus improving the efficiency of automotive glass disassembly and installation.

[0030] It should be noted that the suction cup 32 is a suction cup that can stably adsorb automotive glass. In this embodiment, the suction cup 32 is an electromagnetic vacuum suction cup, which can generate negative pressure and electromagnetic force to stably adsorb automotive glass, ensuring the reliability of the suction cup assembly 3 in adsorbing glass and improving the safety of assembly operations.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting mechanism 2 includes a fixed plate 21, an adjusting rod 22, and a knob 23; The fixed plate 21 is rotatably connected to the support frame 1, and a sliding groove 210 extending along the first direction is provided on its lower surface; the adjusting rod 22 passes through the sliding groove 210, and one end of the adjusting rod 22 is provided with the knob 23; The outer periphery of the adjusting rod 22 is provided with a first external thread section 221 and a second external thread section 222, which have opposite directions of rotation. Each of the support plates 31 is screwed to the first external thread section 221 or the second external thread section 222 in a one-to-one correspondence via a slider 34, and is slidably connected to the slide groove 210.

[0032] It is understood that, since the support plate 31 is slidably connected to the adjusting mechanism 2, and each support plate 31 is screwed to the first external thread section 221 or the second external thread section 222 one-to-one via the slider 34, and slidably connected to the slide groove 210, when the adjusting rod 22 rotates, each support plate 31 can move along the extension direction of the slide groove 210, i.e., the first direction. Since the first external thread section 221 and the second external thread section 222 rotate in opposite directions, the support plate 31 connected to the first external thread section 221 and the support plate 31 connected to the second external thread section 222 move in opposite directions, causing them to move closer or further apart, thereby achieving the adjustment of the distance between each group of suction cup assemblies 3. Furthermore, since the threaded connection has a certain self-locking property, each support plate 31 can maintain a relative distance with the adjusting rod 22, improving the stability of the suction cup assembly 3 when adsorbing automotive glass.

[0033] In addition, a knob 23 is provided at one end of the adjusting rod 22 to facilitate the operator to rotate the adjusting rod 22.

[0034] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer contour of the slider 34 projected in the first direction X is T-shaped, and the shape of the groove 210 matches the slider 34 to improve the stability and reliability of the sliding connection between the support plate 31 and the groove 210.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 1 includes a main frame 11, a connecting frame 12, and a rotating shaft 13; The first channel 10 is opened in the main frame 11, and the connecting frame 12 is disposed in the first channel 10 and connected to the main frame 11; The rotating shaft 13 passes through the connecting frame 12 along the first direction X, and the adjusting mechanism 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 12 through the rotating shaft 13.

[0036] It is understood that the rotating shaft 13 passes through the connecting frame 12 along the first direction X, and the adjusting mechanism 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 12 through the rotating shaft 13, so that the adjusting mechanism 2 can rotate around the axial direction of the rotating shaft 13, i.e., the first direction X. The support frame 1 includes a main frame 11 and a connecting frame 12, and the connecting frame 12 is disposed in the first channel 10 and connected to the main frame 11, so as to adjust the position of the adjusting mechanism 2 and the suction cup assembly 3 by adjusting the connecting frame 12. The main frame 11 provides stable support for the connecting frame 12, the adjusting mechanism 2, the suction cup assembly 3, and the automotive glass.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a drive mechanism 4; The drive mechanism 4 is connected to the connecting frame 12 and is used to drive the rotating shaft 13 to rotate around its own axis.

[0038] Understandably, unlike the adjustment of the distance between the suction cup assemblies 3, each suction cup assembly 3 must first be adjusted to the required spacing before it can adsorb the corresponding size of the car glass; while the rotation of the distance adjustment mechanism relative to the connecting frame 12 is used to rotate the car glass so that it is assembled into the appropriate position; when the car glass is large, it is difficult to rotate the car glass manually, so a special drive mechanism 4 is required. The drive mechanism 4 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate around its own axis, thereby sequentially driving the distance adjustment mechanism 2, the suction cup assembly 3 and the car glass to rotate.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 4 includes a mounting plate 41, a worm gear 42, a worm wheel 43, and a drive motor 44; The mounting plate 41 is connected to the connecting frame 12; the worm gear 42 extends along the second direction Y and is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 41; The worm gear 43 is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 13 and meshes with the worm 42; The drive motor 44 is fixed to the mounting plate 41, and its output shaft is connected to the worm gear 42. In this embodiment, the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other, and both the first direction X and the second direction Y are parallel to the horizontal direction.

[0040] It is understood that the drive motor 44 drives the worm gear 42 to rotate. Since the worm wheel 43 is meshed with the worm gear 42 and fixed to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 13, when the worm gear 42 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, thereby causing the adjusting mechanism 2 to rotate relative to the connecting frame 12. Furthermore, by connecting the mounting plate 41 to the connecting frame 12, the worm gear 42 and the drive motor 44 are connected to the connecting frame 12, integrating them onto the connecting frame 12 and reducing the space occupied by the drive mechanism 4 in the first channel 10.

[0041] It should be noted that, compared to directly driving the rotating shaft 13 through the drive motor 44, driving the rotating shaft 13 through the cooperation of the worm gear 42 and the worm wheel 43 can utilize the self-locking property brought about by the cooperation of the worm gear 42 and the worm wheel 43 to make the car glass less prone to shaking after the angle adjustment is completed, thus ensuring the stability of the car glass during the assembly process.

[0042] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, to achieve a fixed connection between the drive motor 44 and the mounting plate 41, the drive mechanism 4 also includes a U-shaped plate 45; the mounting plates 41 are two pieces arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart along the second direction Y, and the worm gear 42 is rotatably connected to the two mounting plates 41; the U-shaped plate 45 is arranged horizontally, and its U-shaped ends are fixedly connected to the side surface of one of the mounting plates 41 facing away from the connecting frame 12; the housing of the drive motor 44 is located between the U-shaped ends of the U-shaped plate and is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting frame 12 includes two first connecting plates 121 that are parallel to each other and spaced apart along the first direction X, and a second channel 120 disposed between the two first connecting plates 121; the adjusting mechanism 2 includes two second connecting plates 24 that are parallel to each other and spaced apart along the first direction X. Two second connecting plates 24 are inserted between two first connecting plates 121. The rotating shaft 13 is rotatably passed through the two first connecting plates 121 and fixedly connected to the two second connecting plates 24. A limiting groove 1210 is formed on the side surface of the first connecting plate 121 facing away from the second channel 120. The limiting groove 1210 is an arc-shaped groove surrounding the rotating shaft 13. At least one end of the rotating shaft 13 is fixed with a limiting plate 14, the limiting plate 14 is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft 13 and slides in the limiting groove 1210.

[0044] It is understood that, since the rotating shaft 13 passes through the connecting frame 12 along the first direction X, and the rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 12, in order to facilitate the rotatable connection between the rotating shaft 13 and the connecting frame 12, the connecting frame 12 includes two first connecting plates 121 that are parallel and spaced apart along the first direction X; a second channel 120 extending along the first direction X is formed in the two first connecting plates 121, thereby providing space for the second connecting plate 24 to be inserted between the two first connecting plates 121.

[0045] The rotating shaft 13 is rotatably mounted through the two first connecting plates 121 and fixedly connected to the two second connecting plates 24 to achieve a rotatable connection between the adjusting mechanism 2 and the connecting frame 12. In order to limit the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 13 and prevent it from colliding with the connecting frame 12 or other structures such as the drive motor 44 due to excessive rotation angle, a limiting plate 14 is fixedly provided at at least one end of the rotating shaft 13. A limiting groove 1210 is formed on the surface of the first connecting plate 121 facing away from the second channel 120, and the limiting plate 14 slides in the limiting groove 1210. In this embodiment, the limiting groove 1210 is an arc-shaped groove arranged around the rotating shaft 13, so as to limit the rotation of the limiting plate 14 by the arc-shaped groove walls at both ends, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 13.

[0046] In some embodiments, the limiting groove 1210 can be configured as an annular groove surrounding the rotating shaft 13; two spaced limiting blocks are engaged in the annular groove to limit the rotation of the limiting plate 14; the limiting angle can be adjusted by engaging the limiting blocks at different positions in the annular groove to meet the angle limiting requirements of different scenarios, thereby improving the versatility of the connecting frame 12.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the suction cup assembly 3 also includes a spring 33, which extends in the third direction Z. One side of the support plate 31 is slidably connected to the adjusting mechanism 2, and the other side is slidably connected to the suction cup 32. The spring 33 is located between the suction cup 32 and the support plate 31, and its two ends abut against the suction cup 32 and the support plate 31, respectively. In this embodiment, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are all perpendicular to each other, and the third direction Z is a vertical direction.

[0048] It is understandable that the adjusting mechanism 2 and the suction cup 32 are located on different sides of the support plate 31 to avoid interference between the adjusting mechanism 2 and the suction cup 32; The spring 33 is located between the suction cup 32 and the support plate 31, with its two ends abutting against the suction cup 32 and the support plate 31 respectively. This allows the spring 33 to provide effective cushioning when the suction cup 32 contacts the car glass, preventing the suction cup 32 from making hard contact with the car glass and thus ensuring the installation quality and service life of the car glass.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the suction cup assembly 3 also includes a sliding rod 35, which includes a limiting part 351 and a sliding part 352 connected to each other; The support plate 31 has a sliding hole 310 extending through both sides of its three-dimensional Z direction. The sliding part 352 is slidably inserted in the sliding hole 310. The diameter of the limiting part 351 is larger than the diameter of the sliding hole 310. The bottom of the sliding part 352 is connected to the suction cup 3, and the spring 33 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the sliding part 352.

[0050] It is understandable that, since the diameter of the limiting part 351 is larger than the diameter of the sliding hole 310, and the sliding part 352 slides through the sliding hole 310, the sliding rod 35 can drive the suction cup 32 to slide along the axial direction of the sliding hole 310, so as to realize the sliding connection between the suction cup 32 and the support plate 31.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary tooling 100 for installing automotive glass also includes a lifting assembly 5 for driving the adjusting mechanism 2 to move along the third direction Z. It can be understood that by driving the adjusting mechanism 2 to move along the third direction Z via the lifting assembly 5, the suction cup assembly 3 and the automotive glass are subsequently driven to move along the third direction Z, thereby increasing the adjustment range of the auxiliary tooling 100 for installing automotive glass and improving assembly efficiency.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the lifting assembly 5 includes a reciprocating mechanism 51 and a guide rod 52; The reciprocating mechanism 51 is fixedly mounted on the top of the main frame 11, and the output end of the reciprocating mechanism 51 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 12. The guide rod 52 is arranged along the third direction Z and is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 12, and passes through the main frame 11.

[0053] It is understood that the reciprocating mechanism 51 is fixed to the top of the main frame 11, and its output end is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 12, so that the connecting frame 12 can be moved relative to the main frame 11 by the reciprocating mechanism 51, and the connecting frame 12 can be guided to move along the third direction Z by the guide rod 52 set along the third direction Z; thereby driving the adjusting mechanism 2 to move along the third direction Z.

[0054] It should be noted that, assuming the car glass is connected to the suction cup 32 and is horizontal; the third direction Z is vertical, so that the extension direction of the spring 33 is perpendicular to the car glass, thereby providing sufficient and effective cushioning; since the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are mutually perpendicular, the first direction X and the second direction Y are two mutually perpendicular directions on the horizontal plane.

[0055] Preferably, in this embodiment, the reciprocating mechanism 51 is an electric telescopic rod, which is a simple and common power mechanism that helps reduce the overall cost of the auxiliary tooling 100 used for installing automotive glass; in other embodiments, other power mechanisms capable of linear reciprocating motion can be selected, which will not be elaborated here.

[0056] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the movement of the support frame 1, a self-locking universal wheel 6 is also fixed at the bottom of the support frame 1. While driving the support frame 1 to move, the support frame 1 can also be stopped by the self-locking function to ensure the stability during the assembly process.

[0057] The working process for this application is as follows: Depending on the size or specifications of the car glass to be adsorbed, the knob 23 is rotated to rotate the adjusting rod 22. The adjusting rod 22 causes the fixing plate screwed to it to move closer or further apart to adjust to the required spacing. The suction cup 32 is used to adsorb the car glass. When in contact with the car glass, the spring 33 provides a buffer to prevent the suction cup 32 from making hard contact with the car glass. The suction cup 32 slides relative to the support plate 31 under the guidance of the sliding rod 35 until adsorption is completed.

[0058] Start the drive motor 44, which drives the worm gear 42 to rotate. The worm gear 42 drives the worm wheel 43 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate. The rotating shaft 13 drives the second connecting plate 24 to rotate, thereby sequentially driving the fixed plate 21, the support plate 31, the suction cup 32, and the car glass to rotate, thus completing the angle adjustment of the car glass.

[0059] The reciprocating mechanism 51 is activated, which drives the connecting frame 12 to move. Under the guidance of the guide rod 52, the connecting frame 12 moves along the third direction Z, thereby sequentially driving the fixed plate 21, the support plate 31, the suction cup 32 and the car glass to move, thus completing the height adjustment of the car glass.

[0060] In summary, this application provides an auxiliary tooling 100 for installing automotive glass, which includes a support frame 1, an adjustment mechanism 2, and a suction cup assembly 3. A first channel 10 is provided in the support frame 1 to provide space for placing and adjusting the automotive glass. Since the suction cup assembly 3 is connected to the adjustment mechanism 2, and the adjustment mechanism 2 is located in the first channel 10 and rotatably connected to the support frame 1, the automotive glass can be supported by the support frame 1 and placed in the first channel 10, eliminating the need for workers to directly hold the automotive glass. Furthermore, the angle of the automotive glass can be adjusted by the relative rotation between the adjustment mechanism 2 and the support frame 1, so as to facilitate the installation of the automotive glass to different positions on the vehicle body.

[0061] Since the adjusting mechanism 2 is used to adjust the distance between each group of suction cup assemblies 3, and the support plate 31 in the suction cup assembly 3 is slidably connected to the adjusting mechanism 2, and the support plate 31 is provided with the suction cup 32; that is, the adjusting mechanism 2 can adjust the distance between the suction cups 32 in each group of suction cup assemblies 3 to be suitable for different sizes of automotive glass, thereby improving the versatility of the auxiliary tooling 100 for installing automotive glass, and thus improving the efficiency of automotive glass disassembly and installation.
