Abstract
A seat frame assembling unit includes: a setting device and a setting robot. The setting device is driven in a state where side frames, a connecting frame, a pan frame, a member frame and an upper frame are arranged. The setting robot installs the side frames side by side and subsequently installs the connecting frame, the pan frame, the member frame and the upper frame between the side frames. The setting device moves the side frames to positions in which the side frames are to be assembled with the connecting frame, the pan frame, the member frame and the upper frame.
Claims6
A seat frame assembling unit comprising:
- a first device configured to be driven in a state where outer frame components of a vehicle seat to be located at an outer side in a seat width direction of the vehicle seat and inner frame components of the vehicle seat to be located at an inner side in the seat width direction are arranged, the outer frame components and the inner frame components being components of at least one of a cushion frame and a back frame that form the vehicle seat;
- and
- a second device operable to install the outer frame components and the inner frame components on the first device;
- wherein:
- the second device is operable to install the outer frame components side by side and is subsequently operable to install the inner frame components between the outer frame components;
- and
- in a state where the outer frame components and the inner frame components are arranged, the first device is driven to move the outer frame components to positions in which the outer frame components are to be assembled with the inner frame components.
A manufacturing method for a seat frame for assembling at least one of a cushion frame and a back frame using a first device and a second device to manufacture the cushion frame or the back frame, the first device being configured to be driven in a state where outer frame components of a vehicle seat to be located at an outer side in a seat width direction of the vehicle seat and inner frame components to be located at an inner side in the seat width direction are arranged, the outer frame components and the inner frame components being components of at least one of a cushion frame and a back frame that form the vehicle seat, the second device being operable to install the outer frame components and the inner frame components on the first device,
- the method comprising:
- installing, by the second device, the outer frame components side by side and subsequently installing the inner frame components between the outer frame components;
- and
- moving, in a state where the outer frame components and the inner frame components are arranged, by the first device, the outer frame components to positions in which the outer frame components are to be assembled with the inner frame components.
