A jig switching apparatus includes a locator jig slidably arranged on a transport carriage and having at a front end a locate pin with clamp function. The locator jig has two switching positions selectively switched in accordance with the type of a vehicle body to be positioned. A lock mechanism with an operating screw is disposed on the transport carriage. Through the operating screw operated by a nut runner, the lock mechanism mechanically positions and locks the locator jig in one of the switching positions with respect to a reference member disposed on the transport carriage.

A preliminary assembly system for joining a body side panel and a floor panel of an automotive vehicle in a loose-fit hemming joint state by bending a claw piece extending from a main body of one of the panels to hold the other of the panels, prior to welding. The preliminary assembly system comprises a die to be in contact with a back-side surface of the main body of one of the panels in a region forming a loose-fit hemming joint section. Additionally, a main bending blade is provided to be movable to approach the die to bend the claw piece until the loose-fit hemming joint state is established. The main bending blade is moved to approach the die by a movement amount which is mechanically determined relative to a surface of the other of the panels during formation of the loose-fit hemming joint section.

A machine and a method for assembling a vehicle body is disclosed as including a locating pin (26) formed with a seating flange portion (35) having a work seating surface (35a) and a clamp arm (39) contained in the locating pin to be operable in a clamping or unclamping movement responsive to an extrusion and retraction of a clamp cylinder (34). A detection pin (47) is mounted for an extruding and extracting movement from the work seating surface (35a), with the detection pin (47), a shaft (44) ad a proximity switch (48) forming a work seating detection mechanism (49). A mutual engagement between the locating pin (26) and a locating bore (R) allows a panel W3 to be positioned, simultaneously detecting the presence of seating of the panel W3 responsive to a movement of the detection pin (47).

An external combustion engine comprises a container (11) with a working liquid (12) sealed therein in a state adapted to flow, a heater (13) for heating and vaporizing the working liquid (12) in the container (11), and a cooler (14) for cooling and liquefying the vapor of the working liquid (12) heated and vaporized by the heater (13). The displacement of the working liquid (12) caused by the vapor volume change is output as mechanical energy by being converted into the mechanical energy. A pressure regulating liquid (18) is sealed in a pressure regulating container (16) communicating with the container (11). A pressure regulating unit (19) regulates the internal pressure (Pt) of the pressure regulating container (16). A control unit (21) controls the pressure regulating unit (19) in such a manner that the internal pressure (Pt) is decreased in the case where it is higher than the saturation vapor pressure (Ps1) of the working liquid (12) at the temperature (T1) of a heated portion (11a) of the container for vaporizing the working liquid (12), while the internal pressure (Pt) is increased in the case where it is lower than the saturation vapor pressure (Ps1).
摘要:
A transfer apparatus for transferring a body side of an automotive vehicle which is supported so that a front-to-rear direction of the body side coincides with a transfer direction, includes a hanger having a plurality of support members for supporting a side sill lower portion, a rear pillar or its adjacent portion and an arch portion front side of a rear wheel house of the body side, respectively. The hanger is configured to support the body side in a posture inclining inboard of the automotive vehicle and declining toward a rear end of the body side hanger is further configured so that the body side is urged only by its own weight against the support members so as to be positioned and supported thereby. A transfer method for the body side is also provided.

摘要:
A vehicle body transfer machine transfers a vehicle body along a transfer path by using a transfer truck with which the vehicle body is supported, wherein the transfer truck is returned to an initial starting position of the transfer path for a repeated use when transfer of the vehicle body is terminated. The vehicle body transfer machine comprises a jig change-over stage located before the initial starting position of the transfer path, a plurality of locator jigs including an upwardly directed locating pin, a plurality of lock units, an unlock-operating unit, and a jig change-over unit including a socket portion engageable with the locating pin of the corresponding one of the plurality of locator jigs. The socket portion is moveable toward the locating pin to be brought into engagement therewith under a first unlock condition established when the unlock-operating unit unlock-operates the plurality of lock units, which is correlated with the horizontal two directions, of the corresponding one of the plurality of locator jigs to perform a relative positioning in the two horizontal directions between the jig change-over unit and the corresponding one of the plurality of locator jigs.
