Description

HOOD LATCH ASSEMBLING DEVICE FOR A CAR

The present invention relates to an automobile hood latch assembly device capable of controlling an assembly guide unit and a carrier fixing unit based on selection information of a carrier to guide a position where a hood latch assembly can be stably mounted on the carrier.

In general, heat exchangers such as radiators, and parts such as head lamps and bumper assemblies are installed at the front of a car. However, recently, in order to simplify assembly and reduce assembly work, the radiator, head lamps, bumper assemblies, etc. installed at the front of the car are not individually installed on the car body, but are each mounted on a carrier to form a front end module (FEM), and the front end module is transported to an automobile assembly plant and installed on the front body of the car.

A hood latch is a component that performs the function of fixing the front hood of a vehicle, including a hood latch assembly attached to the front carrier of the vehicle and a fixed portion of the front hood of the vehicle that is fixed by engaging with the hood latch assembly.

As an example, FIG. 1 illustrates a typical hood latch assembly (10) and a carrier (20) on which the hood latch assembly is installed. As illustrated, three fixing holes are formed in the hood latch assembly (10), and a hood receiving portion for fixing a hood fixing portion (not illustrated) is formed in the center thereof.

In addition, a fixing hole corresponding to the fixing hole is formed at the position of the carrier where the hood latch assembly is assembled, so that the hood latch assembly is positioned on the carrier so that the two fixing holes are aligned with each other, and then assembled using a fastening means such as a bolt.

In the case where the hood latch assembly is transported to an automobile assembly plant in a state where it is assembled in advance on a carrier, if there is an error in the assembled position of the hood latch assembly, the hood of the automobile may not be secured by the hood latch assembly.

If a case like the above occurs, the assembled front-end module or the entire assembled vehicle will become defective, requiring enormous cost and time to resolve the defect.

In addition, in the assembly process for mounting the hood latch assembly, the supplied carriers may have different shapes, that is, carriers with different positions at which the hood latch assembly is mounted or different parts fixed by the assembly device may be supplied. In this case, there is a problem that an assembly device that matches the shape of the carrier must be separately prepared and used.

Domestic registration patent No. 10-0676746 (announcement date: 2007.01.31.) Domestic Publication Patent No. 10-2009-39184 (Publication Date: 2009.04.22.) Domestic registration patent No. 10-0901928 (Announcement date: 2009.06.10.)

In addition, when describing the present invention, if it is determined that a specific description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof is abbreviated or omitted.

Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, a detailed description will be given of an automobile hood latch assembly device (hereinafter, simply referred to as the “assembly device”) according to the present invention.

First, as shown in Fig. 2, the assembly device (1) according to the present invention largely includes a carrier moving part (100), an assembly guiding part (200), a carrier fixing part (300), and a control part (400) that electrically controls at least one of these components.

To explain in more detail, the carrier moving unit (100) includes a support (110), a transfer bar (120), a transfer jig (130), and a positioner (140) configured to ensure that a mounted carrier (20) reaches a predetermined position and a hood latch assembly (10: see FIG. 1) can be stably mounted on the corresponding carrier (20) by an assembly guide unit (200) described later, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

For example, as illustrated, the pedestal (110) is provided with two bodies that can be separated and combined from each other at different heights relative to the ground, and a pair of transfer bars (120) are fixedly arranged adjacent to each other on the upper surface of the pedestal (110) that is relatively taller based on the drawing, and the other is arranged to be located below the transfer bar (120) so that a positioner (140) can be fixedly mounted on the upper surface thereof.

In addition, a transfer bar (120) having a predetermined length is provided with a plurality of transfer rollers (121) rotatably installed inside in the longitudinal direction, and a transfer jig (130) is arranged so that the lower surface of the transfer roller (121) can be contacted, thereby enabling movement of the transfer jig (130) in the longitudinal direction of the transfer bar (120).

In addition, a carrier (20) for assembling a hood latch assembly is detachably mounted on the upper part of a transfer jig (130) that is provided to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the transfer bar (120).

An insertion groove (not shown) for inserting an elevating pin (143) may be formed on the lower surface of the transfer jig (130), and the lower surface of the transfer jig (130) may be moved by contacting the outer surface of the transfer roller (121) through the elevation of the elevating pin (143) inserted into the insertion groove, or may be released and fixedly positioned by the elevating pin (143).

Meanwhile, the transfer jig (130) in the present invention may be moved along the transfer bar (120) by a motor (not shown) controlled by the control unit (400), although not shown, or may be moved by an external force of a worker as needed.

In addition, the positioner (140) is configured to elevate the transfer jig (130) that has moved along the transfer bar (120) when it reaches a predetermined position so that the hood latch assembly can be stably assembled by the assembly guide unit (200), and includes a position sensor (141) and an elevating pin (143).

The position sensor (141) can be formed in the shape of a bar having a length in the vertical direction as illustrated, and is electrically turned on/off when in contact with the outer surface of a transfer jig (130) being transferred along a transfer bar (120), thereby transmitting detection information so that the control unit (400) can detect that the transfer jig (130) has reached a set position.

At least one lifting pin (143) can be installed on the upper part of the positioner (140) so that it can be raised in a vertical direction. When rising, the upper part of the lifting pin (143) is inserted into the insertion groove to provide power for the transfer jig (130) to rise, and when lowering, it is separated from the insertion groove so that the lower surface of the transfer jig (130) is settled on the upper surface of the transfer roller (121) to enable movement.

To this end, the lifting pin (143) is designed to have a structure that can be raised and lowered through a cylinder provided in the positioner (140).

And, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the assembly guide member (200) is configured to fix the carrier (20) so that the hood latch assembly can be guided and mounted on the upper portion of the carrier (20) moved through the carrier moving member (100) described above, and includes a main guide member (210), a sub guide member (220), and a moving member (230). The main guide member (210) and the sub guide member (220) differ only in the difference in length between the main boom (211) and the sub boom (221) described later and in the mounting position on the moving member (230), and therefore, since they have the same purpose and structure, it is noted that the description of the configuration of the sub guide member (220) is borrowed from the description of the main guide member (210) below.

For example, the main guide member (210) for guiding the hood latch assembly to the mounting portion of the carrier (20) on which the hood latch assembly is to be mounted includes a main boom (211), a main bracket (213), a main cylinder (215), a main guide piece (217), and a main gripper (219).

As shown, the main boom (211) has one side fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the moving plate (235) so as to have the same shape as the sub boom (221), and the main bracket (213) is fixedly installed on the other protruding side.

At this time, the protruding length (D1) of the main boom (211) provides a longer protruding length difference compared to the protruding length (D2) of the sub boom (221), so that it is preferable to use either the main guide member (210) or the sub guide member (220) to mount the hood latch assembly on the upper portion of the carrier (20) corresponding to the carrier (20) formed in different shapes.

That is, as illustrated, the central portion of the main guide piece (217) or the central portion of the sub guide piece (227) is positioned on a different arbitrary reference line (L) for each carrier (20) on which the hood latch assembly is to be mounted, and the mounting of the hood latch assembly is facilitated by moving the carrier (20) using the moving member (230) described later so that the central portion of the main guide piece (217) or the central portion of the sub guide piece (227) is positioned on a different arbitrary reference line (L) for each carrier (20) having a different shape.

Meanwhile, the assembly device (1) of the present invention is illustrated as having a sub-guiding member (220) installed on one side of the main guiding member (210) based on one moving member (230), but is not limited thereto, and the sub-guiding member (220) may be installed on both sides of the main guiding member (210) as needed.

The main bracket (213) having the same shape as the sub-bracket (223) is fixedly installed on the protruding side of the main boom (211) so as to have an overall 'ㄷ' shape, and a main guide member (217) that is raised and lowered by a main cylinder (215) is mounted on the central part of the outer surface so as to be able to be raised and lowered, and has a structure in which a pair of main grippers (219) can be mounted on both sides of the main guide member (217).

The main cylinder (215) having the same shape as the sub-cylinder (225) has its outer surface mounted on the main bracket (213), and a main guide piece (217) is installed at the end of the rod extending downward so that the main guide piece (217) has a structure that allows it to be raised and lowered.

Thus, when the carrier (20) stops at the reference line (L), which is the fixed position, through the carrier moving part (100) described above, the load of the main cylinder (215) is lowered through the control of the control part (400), and at the same time, the main guide piece (217) is introduced into the space of the carrier (20) where the hood latch assembly is to be mounted, so that the outer surface of the hood latch assembly is guided to the main guide piece (217) and mounted on the carrier (20), thereby satisfying the structure.

The main gripper (219) having the same structure as the sub gripper (229) is fixedly mounted on the main bracket (213) so as to be positioned on both sides of the main cylinder (215), and a pair of grippers symmetrically mounted on each of the main grippers (219) rotate by the supplied air pressure or hydraulic pressure, etc., so as to grip or release the outer surface of the carrier (20).

At this time, the sub-gripper (229) of the present invention, which implements the same structure and function as the main gripper (219), is illustrated as being mounted on one side of the sub-cylinder (225), but this is only one embodiment, and in order to stably grip and then fix the carrier (20), it is preferable that a pair of the sub-grippers (229) be installed on both sides of the sub-cylinder (225).

Meanwhile, the sub-induction member (220) borrowed from the description of the above-described main induction member (210) is depicted as being movably mounted via a movable plate (235) so as to be positioned on one side of the main induction member (210), but this is also only one embodiment, and the sub-induction member (220) may also be installed on both sides of the main induction member (210) as needed.

At this time, it is preferable that each of the sub booms (221) constituting a pair of sub-induction members (220) installed on both sides of the main induction member (210) be formed to have different lengths so that the main boom (211) and the pair of sub-booms (221) each implement different lengths so that they can easily respond according to the shape of the carrier (20).

In addition, the moving member (230) includes a fixed plate (231) and a moving plate (235) configured to move the main guide member (210) and sub guide member (220) described above in the left and right directions in response to different shapes of the carrier (20) to provide ease of assembly of the hood latch assembly.

The fixed plate (231) is formed using steel material to have the shape of a plate as a whole, and the rear side is fixedly installed to the base (500), and the front side has a structure in which a moving plate (235) can move through a power supply means (30).

To this end, a pair of rails (233) are arranged adjacent to each other on the front of the fixed plate (231), and a moving plate (235) is inserted into the rails (233) and moved left and right by a power supply means (30).

Here, the power supply means (30) in the present invention is configured to include a screw (31) and a rotation motor (33) controlled through a control unit (400) to rotate the screw (31) in both directions, as illustrated.

Thus, the control unit (400) rotates the drive shaft of the rotary motor (33) in a forward (clockwise) or reverse direction while the inner surface of the screw hole formed on the outer surface of the moving plate (235) and the outer surface of the screw (31) with the screw threads are teeth-joined, thereby causing the moving plate (235) to be guided along the rail (233) and move in the left and right directions.

Meanwhile, the control unit (400) scans or otherwise preferentially recognizes identification information in the form of a barcode or QR code formed on the outer surface of the carrier (20) to determine whether the moving plate (235) is moving, and controls the rotational direction of the rotational motor (33) so that the main guide member (210) or sub guide member (220) with a protruding length difference can be positioned on the reference line (L).

Of course, it is desirable for the control unit (400) to also enable control of the carrier fixing unit (300) to be described later based on the recognized identification signal.

And, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the carrier fixing member (300) includes a housing member (310) and a fixing member (320) configured to allow the carrier (20) to be preferentially fixed before the carrier (20) is gripped by the assembly guide member (200) described above.

For example, the housing member (310) is installed on the base (500) and includes a housing (311), a fixed cylinder (313), and a moving body (317) to enable the fixed member (320) to be described later to move stably and fix the carrier (20).

As shown, the housing (311) is fixedly installed on the base (500) so as to have a predetermined height from the ground, and a movable body (317) is installed on the upper part so as to be able to slide in the forward and backward directions, and is moved by the extension of the rod of the fixed cylinder (313).

To this end, a plurality of first guide bars (315) are formed on the upper part of the housing (311) so that the lower surface of the moving body (317) can be movably inserted, and the front end is rotatably coupled with the load of the fixed cylinder (313) so that the moving body (317) can be provided with power to move.

At this time, it is preferable that a pair of fixed members (320) be arranged on both sides of the upper portion of the moving body (317) so that they can slide in the longitudinal direction of the second guide bar (319) in whole or individually through a power supply means (30).

Thus, the carrier fixing part (300) of the present invention selectively executes movement of the moving body (317) in the forward and backward direction through the fixing cylinder (313) and movement of the fixed member (320) in the forward and backward direction through the power providing means (30) provided on the upper part of the moving body (317) according to the shape or position of the carrier (20) transported through the carrier moving part (100), thereby enabling movement in the forward and backward direction step by step.

In addition, the fixed member (320) is configured to be movably installed with the housing member (310) described above and a fixed pin (327) protruding toward the carrier (20) to penetrate and fix the carrier (20), and includes a driving body (321) and a fixing means (323).

As shown, the driving body (321) is formed in the shape of a body with an open interior and front using steel material, and a second guide bar (319) is inserted into the lower part so that it can move in the longitudinal direction of the second guide bar (319) by a power supply means (30).

At this time, it is preferable that another power supply means (30) be installed on the upper part of the driving body (321) that penetrates inwardly but has a length in the vertical direction so that the fixing means (323) is guided to the driving body (321) to have a lifting structure.

To this end, the fixing means (323) may include a lifting bracket (325) whose rear end is tooth-coupled with a screw (31) of a power providing means (30) installed inside a driving body (321), a fixing pin (327) that is inserted into and out of the lifting bracket (325) so as to protrude from the front of the lifting bracket (325), and a moving cylinder (329) for moving the fixing pin (327).

Thus, when the carrier (20) is positioned at the fixed position corresponding to the reference line (L) through the carrier moving unit (100), the control unit (400) controls the extension of the moving cylinder (329) rod so that the fixed pin (327) inserted into the inside of the lifting bracket (325) can protrude a predetermined length in the forward direction, so that the protruding fixed pin (327) is inserted through the through hole formed in the carrier (20) to enable fixation by the fixed pin (327).

In addition, the lifting bracket (325) is raised and lowered by rotating the power providing means (30) that is arranged vertically according to the position of the through hole formed in the carrier (20) so that the through hole and the fixing pin (327) can be arranged in opposing positions.

Meanwhile, the carrier fixing part (300) of the present invention may further include a detection sensor (330) for the purpose of controlling the protruding length of the fixing pin (327) for fixing the carrier (20) or whether the fixing pin (327) is inserted or not, and the detection sensor (330) is installed on the upper part of the lifting bracket (325) so as to be electrically connected to the control part (400) and has a pushable pin structure so that after the fixing pin (327) is inserted through the carrier (20), the outer surface of the carrier (20) is pressed so that an electrical ON/OFF switching can be executed.

As described above, the assembly device (1) according to the present invention is different from the conventional one in that it controls the assembly guide unit (200) and the carrier fixing unit (300) based on the selection information of the carrier (20) supplied through the carrier moving unit (100), thereby easily adjusting the position of carriers (20) having different shapes to the reference line (L), and then stably guiding the mounting position of the hood latch assembly (10) to enable mounting.

As described above, the present invention has been described by specific matters such as specific components, limited examples, and drawings, but these have been provided only to help a more general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and those with common knowledge in the field to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications and variations from this description.

Therefore, the idea of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, and all things that are equivalent or equivalent to the claims described below as well as the claims are considered to fall within the scope of the idea of the present invention.
