Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of assembling a vehicle body, and in particular, (1) an assembling method when welding left and right side members to an underbody (claims 1 and 2); and (2) a step of welding side members to the left and right of the underbody. (3) An assembly method that completely separates the process of placing and welding a cross member such as a roof between the upper ends of both side members (Claim 3), and (3) The upper end of the side member standing upright on the left and right sides of the underbody The present invention relates to an assembling method (claim 4) for temporarily attaching a cross member such as a roof, a header or a frame back therebetween.
- Background art
- a large-scale positioning jig is generally used to position the main member.
- a folding screen jig that is slightly larger than these members may be used.
- a jig for one side member is arranged to be able to advance and retreat on both left and right sides of the vehicle body assembly line, and a roof jig is disposed above the vehicle body assembly line. It is arranged to be able to move up and down freely.
- the jigs are moved forward and positioned at the predetermined positions of the underbody, and the underbody and the side members are welded in this state. I do. Thereafter, the roof supported by another jig is placed between the upper ends of one side member supported by the jig while the jig for the side member is kept as it is, and the left and right welding edges of the roof and the upper side of the side member are placed. Welding between the welding edges.
- Such a folding screen jig is large and heavy, so initial equipment investment is of course increased, and the jig's advance / retreat drive mechanism is used to switch to another jig when switching production vehicles (changing steps). However, there is an inconvenience that the production line has to be completely stopped during this time.
- the pair of left and right side member jigs and the roof jig are independent of each other, and it is necessary to ensure that the vehicle-side transfer positions of these three jigs are accurately positioned with respect to the ground-side stationary system.
- accurate positioning and welding between the side member and the roof are performed.
- the jig for the side member and the jig for the roof are mounted on drive means that move back and forth or up and down. The positioning accuracy directly affects the mutual welding accuracy between the side members and the roof. Since the driving means is required to move a large and heavy jig up and down and move back and forth at a considerably high speed, advanced technology and constant maintenance are indispensable to maintain strict positioning accuracy.
- the pair of left and right side member jigs and the roof jig are independent of each other, but these three jigs are simultaneously transferred to the vehicle body side, and the left and right side members and the roof intersect at each welding edge.
- force interference is likely to occur between the three jigs.
- a leftward biased force may act. When such a biased force acts, the side member falls down in the left-right direction from the normal vertical position, and the opening shape of the front window or the rear window is distorted, which hinders the fitting of the windshield.
- the positioning accuracy between the roof and the side members appears as distortion of the front and rear window opening shapes in particular, so even a small error greatly affects the fit of the wind shield.
- the conventional positioning of the roof using a large jig it is impossible to simultaneously and evenly press the welding edges against the left and right side members, and the welding edge of the roof comes into contact with either the left or right side member first .
- the positioning accuracy between the roof and the side members may be slightly shifted.
- a first object of the present invention is to weld side members on both left and right sides of the underbody (temporarily). g) The aim is to reduce the weight and size of the jigs for the sai members used in this process, thereby reducing the initial capital investment and facilitating the changeover work.
- a second object of the present invention is to reduce the weight of the jigs for the side members and the roof, to reduce the initial capital investment and to facilitate the quick changeover work, and to reduce the size of the side members. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of assembling a vehicle body that facilitates analysis of a problem relating to the assemblability of a vehicle and a roof.
- a third object of the present invention is to reduce the weight and size of the roof jig, thereby reducing the initial equipment investment and speeding up the changeover work, and at the same time, the large-scale drive for raising and lowering the jig.

In this state, the underbody and the side member are welded.
- a general-purpose port pot can be used to transport and vertically position the side members.
- the general-purpose robot picks up the side member that has been transported to the vicinity of the general-purpose port bot, and then moves it to a predetermined position in the underbody. In this state, at least four front and rear parts of the lower welding edge of the left and right side members are connected and fixed to the underbody with four clamp jigs, and both are welded by a welding robot.
- the conventional side member jig was designed to clamp the side member as a whole, so it had to be one or two times larger than the side member and bar. Instead of clamping the whole, the side member sideways direction regulation is assigned to the general-purpose port for transport, etc., and the front, rear, left, right, and vertical directions of only the front and rear parts of the lower welding edge of the side member are controlled.
- Four clamp jigs were used. As a result, the four clamp jigs can be made lightweight and compact, greatly reducing initial equipment investment, and because the clamp jig itself is lightweight and compact, it can be easily made using a general-purpose robot, soto, etc. This makes it easier and faster to carry out the changeover work and lowers the cost of the changeover equipment.

Including semi-automatic transfer, and fully automatic transfer by a transfer device such as a robot, etc. The same shall apply hereinafter.)
- the lifting jig is lowered and the clamp jig is placed on the slide table at the retracted position.
- the slide table is moved forward, the underbody and the side member are connected and fixed by the clamp jig, and the lift table is raised again, and another clamp jig for step change is placed on the lift table.
- the tool is transported in advance by a robot or the like, and at the time of a change, the clamp jig on the slide table at the forward position is picked up by a robot or the like to retract the empty slide table, and then the lift table is lowered. S The next clamp jig is mounted on the ride table.
- a general-purpose robot can be used to transport and vertically position the side members.
- the general-purpose robot picks up the side members that have been transported to the vicinity of the general-purpose port, and then moves the under-body to a predetermined position and places it vertically. In this state, at least four front and rear parts of the lower welding edge of the left and right side members are connected and fixed to the underbody with four clamp jigs, and both are welded by a welding robot.
- the conventional side member jig was designed to clamp the side member as a whole, so it had to be one or two times larger than the side member. Instead of clamping the side members, the side member's side-to-side direction regulation is temporarily assigned to a general-purpose robot for transportation, etc.
- One clamp jig was used to handle it.
- the four clamp jigs can be configured to be lightweight and compact, greatly reducing initial capital investment, and since the clamp jig itself is a lightweight compact, it can be easily moved using a general-purpose mouth pot. As a result, it is possible to achieve quick and easy changeover work and low cost of changeover equipment. Also, the clamp jig is compact. r
- the slide platform is retracted and moved up and down. If the platform is lowered, the slide time can be advanced by simply moving the slide platform forward, so that the next car model can be started immediately, so the sunset time can be very short.
- the third rate body assembling method of the present invention is a method of positioning a pair of left and right side members using a first jig with respect to an underbody positioned at a predetermined position of a vehicle body assembly line, and welding a lower part thereof.
- the first step (li) in which the edges are welded to the left and right welding edges of the underbody, and the crossing of a roof, head or frame back between the upper welding edges of the left and right side members after opening the first jig
- a second jig characterized in that:
- the left and right side members are positioned and welded to the underbody, and in the second step, after the first jig used in the first step is opened, a roof, a header or a frame back, etc.
- the first and second jigs do not interfere with each other because the first and second jigs are positioned and welded using the second jig.
- the analysis of problems related to can be completed in a short time.
- the size and weight of each jig can be reduced, which can contribute to a reduction in initial equipment investment and a quick and easy changeover operation.
- a pair of left and right side members is aligned with a left and right welding edge of an underbody with respect to an underbody positioned at a predetermined position of a vehicle body assembly line.
- a transverse member such as a roof, a header or a frame back is temporarily placed between the upper welding edges of the left and right side members so that the left and right welding edges are aligned with the upper welding edge of the side members.

- the slide base is retracted, and the elevating base is lowered. Then, the clamp operation of the next model can be started immediately, so the tact time can be greatly reduced.
- the beam jig can be configured to be lighter and more compact than conventional roof jigs, reducing initial capital investment and facilitating quicker changeover work. Since sufficient time can be obtained with a robot or the like, the conventional large-scale driving means for lifting and lowering the jig is not required. In this respect, initial capital investment can be significantly reduced.
- the opening and closing timing of the left and right clamp jigs is completely synchronized by opening and closing the left and right clamp jigs using a common drive source.
- the left and right side members can be clamped and connected at the same time and fixed, preventing errors in the positioning accuracy of the roof or side members due to misalignment of the left and right clamping times. As a result, it is possible to prevent distortion of the front and rear window openings as much as possible.

- the entire beam-shaped jigs 35 and 36 including the clamp jigs 39 are dedicated to the vehicle type, and a plurality of types of beam-shaped jigs 35 and 36 are used as the fourth transport robots 37-1, 37 — Standing as a stock near 2. Since the beam-shaped jigs 35 and 36 are mounted on the yakura-shaped frame body 34 that is high in height, the storage areas of the beam-shaped jigs 35 and 36 and the robots 37-1 and 37-1 that convey this are used. 37-2, as shown in Fig.
- FIG. 11 (A) construct frames 42-1 and 42-2, which are almost the same height as the Yakura frame 34, adjacent to the body assembly line 2. It is desirable to dispose them on the gantry 42-1, 42-2. Stalk area of beam-shaped jigs 35 and 36 and transport port 3 7
- a frame 42-2 may be constructed on the opposite side, and a storage area and transfer robots 37-1 and 37-2 may be provided on the frame 42-2 as shown in FIG. Basically, one transfer port 37-1 (37-2) is responsible for both the installation and removal of the beam jig 35 (36), but the change tact time is reduced. In order to reduce the length, it is more appropriate to attach and remove the beam-shaped jigs 35 and 36 with another transfer port pot on the opposite stand 42-2, for example.
- the roof jigs 35 and 36 are disposed at the front and rear portions of the roof 31, the roof jigs 35 and 36 between the front and rear beam-shaped jigs 35 and 36 face the side member 4. A relatively large space is created where the weld edge between 3 1 and side member 4 is accessible. For this reason, when the welding port is disposed between the transfer robots, the roof 31 and the side member 4 can be temporarily attached with a relatively short reach, so that the welding robots 38-1 and 38-2 And the structure of the welding jig can be simplified.
- the accessibility between the roof 3 1 ′ and the side members 14 is good, it is also possible to arrange additional welding robots in addition to the tack welding robots, and the work load that can be performed in one station With this configuration, the number of stations in the entire body assembly line 2 can be reduced, and the body assembly line 2 can be shortened.
- the 15-type roof jig is slender and takes up little space. If appropriate rack equipment is installed near the transfer robots 37-1 and 37-2, various types of beam-shaped jigs can be installed in an extremely compact area. Fixtures 35 and 36 can be stocked, shortening the changeover time and omitting the jig transport equipment.
- the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible.
- the side member 14 is connected to the first transport robot 0-3.
- the transfer robot 10-3 is set to the underbody 3, a transfer machine other than the transfer robot 10-3 may be used as long as it has substantially the same function as the transfer robot 10-3.
- 1 _ 1 to 4 may be used in 4 or more depending on the type of vehicle.
