Vehicle body assembly system
A vehicle body assembly system each forming a pre-buck section and a main-buck section set along a transport path of the floor assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a pre-buck unit configured in the pre-buck section to regulate the seal side and the front and rear sides of side assemblies that are different for each vehicle type, and to assemble the side assembly and the floor assembly, and a main-buck unit configured in the main-buck section to regulates the roof portion and the quarter portion of the side assembly assembled to the floor assembly in the pre-buck section, assemble the roof portion, cowl, roof rail and package tray and assemble the quarter portion and the floor assembly.
1. A vehicle body assembly system that forms a pre-buck section and a main-buck section set along a transport path of a floor assembly, comprising:
a pre-buck side jig mounted on a handling robot in the pre-buck section and configured to regulate a seal side, a front side, and a rear side of a side assembly;
a pair of first guide posts installed on a first moving member configured to reciprocate in a vehicle width direction to a pre-buck frame on each side of a transfer path in the pre-buck section, and coupled with the pre-buck side jig through the handling robot in the pre-buck section;
a main-buck side jig mounted on a handling robot in the main-buck section and configured to regulate a roof portion of the side assembly assembled to a floor assembly in the pre-buck section;
a pair of second guide posts installed on a second moving member configured to reciprocate along the vehicle width direction in a main-buck frame on each side of the transfer path in the main-buck section, and coupled to the main-buck side jig through the handling robot in the main-buck section;
a quarter portion side gate mounted on the main-buck frame separately from the second moving member through a mounting frame to a third moving member configured to regulate along a vehicle width direction, and configured to regulate a quarter portion of the side assembly; and
a plurality of position correction units, wherein each of the plurality of position correction units are installed in a respective one of the pre-buck frame and the main-buck frame, and further installed in a respective one of the first, second, and third moving members so as to be in mutually stopping contact, and configured to correct a stopping position of the respective one of the first, second, and third moving members with respect to the respective one of the pre-buck frame and the main-buck frame;
wherein each of the plurality of position correction units includes:
a fixing stopper having a inclined surface inclined toward one side based on a vehicle body transport direction, and fixedly installed on the respective one of the first, second, and third moving members; and
a movable stopper that has a inclined surface inclined toward an other side, is provided to be in contact with the fixing stopper, and is installed on the respective one of the pre-buck frame and the main-buck frame to be moved back and forth along the vehicle body transport direction by a driving source.
2. The vehicle body assembly system of claim 1 , wherein:
the driving source includes:
a linear module having a movable block configured to linearly reciprocate along the vehicle body transport direction through a linear guide and installed in the pre-buck frame and the main-buck frame.
3. The vehicle body assembly system of claim 2 , wherein:
the first, second, and third moving members are connected to operating cylinders provided in the pre-buck frame and the main-buck frame.
4. The vehicle body assembly system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first storage unit installed in the pre-buck section and storing the pre-buck side jig;
a second storage unit installed in the main-buck section and storing the main-buck side jig; and
a third storage unit installed in the main-buck section and storing side gates of a quarter unit.
5. The vehicle body assembly system of claim 1 , further comprising:
first welding robots installed in the pre-buck section, and configured to weld the side assembly and the floor assembly; and
second welding robots installed in the main-buck section, configured to weld the side assembly and the floor assembly together, and further configured to weld the side assembly, a cowl, a roof rail, and a package tray together.
