Abstract

A door positioning apparatus for a door mounting device of a vehicle which sets the door in a door re-mounting process, is provided to the door mounting device for moving the door to a mounting position, and positions the door set on the door mounting device to the mounting position precisely may include a mounting frame movably mounted to a base frame of the door mounting device, and a pair of positioning pin which are mounted to the mounting frame movable up and down direction respectively, and provides a reference position for the door with respect to a pair of door hinge mounted to a vehicle body.

Claims

1. A door positioning apparatus for a door mounting device of a vehicle which sets a door in a door re-mounting process, is provided to the door mounting device for moving the door to a mounting position, and positions the door set on the door mounting device to the mounting position precisely, the door positioning apparatus comprising:

a mounting frame movably mounted to a base frame of the door mounting device; and

a pair of positioning pins which are mounted to the mounting frame movable up and down direction respectively, and provides a reference position for the door with respect to a pair of door hinges mounted to a vehicle body.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus further comprises:

a first moving unit mounted to the door mounting device for moving the mounting frame; and

a second moving unit mounted to the mounting frame for the pair of positioning pins to be moved to a hinge pin of the door hinges.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the first moving unit comprises:

a first moving unit drive motor mounted to the base frame; and

an LM (Linear Motion) module mounted to the mounting frame and engaged to the first moving unit drive motor for moving the mounting frame according to the operation of the first moving unit drive motor.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the LM module comprises:

a lead screw connected to the first moving unit drive motor; and

an LM guide connected to the mounting frame, slidably engaged with the lead screw, and moving the mounting frame according to the operation of the first moving unit drive motor.

5. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the second moving unit is mounted to the mounting frame through a mounting bracket.

6. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the second moving unit comprises:

pneumatic cylinders, as a pair, which are mounted to up and down portions of the mounting frame respectively, connected to the positioning pins respectively, and moves the positioning pins.

7. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the second moving unit comprises:

a second moving unit drive motor mounted to the mounting frame;

a pinion gear connected to the second moving unit drive motor; and

a pair of racks where the pinion gear is interposed therebetween, of which the positioning pins are connected thereto respectively, and the pair of racks which are engaged with the pinion gear.

8. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the second moving unit comprises:

a bi-directional cylinder which is mounted to the mounting frame, of which the positioning pins are connected to both ends thereof, and the bi-directional cylinder which moves the positioning pins.

9. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the positioning pin comprises:

a pin body of which a first end is connected to the second moving unit; and

a socket which is connected to a second end of the pin body and selectively connected to the hinge pin of the door hinges.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the socket is connected to the protruded hinge pin, hingedly connecting a vehicle body side hinge bracket of the door hinges and a door side hinge bracket of the door hinges.

11. A door positioning system comprising:

a mounting frame which supports a door, and is movably mounted to a base frame of a door mounting device, which moves the door toward a door hinge mounted to a vehicle body;

a first moving unit mounted to the door mounting device for moving the mounting frame on the base frame toward the door hinge;

a positioning pin providing a reference position for the door with respect to the door hinge and a socket is formed to an end thereof; and

a second moving unit engaged to the positioning pin and configured for moving the positioning pin toward the door hinge,

wherein a hinge pin, hingedly connecting a vehicle body side hinge bracket of the door hinge and a door side hinge bracket of the door hinge, protrudes,

wherein the mounting frame is moved toward the door hinge according to an operation of the first moving unit, and

wherein the socket is connected with the hinge pin according to an operation of the second moving unit and provides the reference position for the door to be mounted.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the first moving unit comprises:

a first moving unit drive motor mounted to the base frame;

a lead screw connected to the first moving unit drive motor; and

an LM (Linear Motion) guide connected to the mounting frame, engaged with the lead screw, and moving the mounting frame according to an operation of the first moving unit drive motor.

13. The system of claim 11,

wherein a pair of door hinges are mounted to upper and lower portions of the vehicle body respectively,

wherein each of the hinge pins protrudes toward a center of the door hinges respectively,

wherein the positioning pin is disposed as a pair corresponding to the hinge pins, and

wherein the second moving unit comprises a pair of pneumatic cylinders, which are mounted to up and down portions of the mounting frame respectively, connected to the positioning pins respectively, and move the positioning pins for the sockets to be connected with the hinge pins respectively.

14. The system of claim 11,

wherein a pair of door hinges are mounted to upper and lower portions of the vehicle body respectively,

wherein each of the hinge pins protrudes toward a center of the door hinges respectively,

wherein the positioning pin is disposed as a pair corresponding to the hinge pins, and

wherein the second moving unit comprises:

a second moving unit drive motor mounted to the mounting frame;

a pinion gear connected to the second moving unit drive motor; and

a pair of racks where the pinion gear is interposed therebetween, of which the positioning pins are connected thereto respectively, and the pair of racks which are engaged with the pinion gear for the sockets to be connected with the hinge pins respectively according to an operation of the second moving unit motor.

15. The system of claim 11,

wherein a pair of door hinges are mounted to upper and lower portions of the vehicle body respectively,

wherein the each hinge pin protrudes toward a center of the door hinges respectively,

wherein the positioning pin is disposed as a pair corresponding to the hinge pins, and

wherein the second moving unit comprises:
