Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To coat with erecting a slide door to an automobile body by mounting guide rails on an upper part, a lower part, and a middle part of an opening part in parallel to each other, providing a cut-out part on the guide rail of the middle part where the auxiliary guide rail is mounted to, and providing a suspended hanger hanging down the slide door. SOLUTION: An upper guide rail 13 is mounted along an upper side of an opening part 12 of an automobile body 11, a lower guide rail 14 is mounted along a lower side, and a center guide rail 15 is installed in a middle part of them in parallel therewith. An auxiliary guide rail 41 is mounted to a cut-out part provided a little to a back end of the center guide rail 15. At the time of coating, a slide door 21 is hanged up by a suspended hanger, and a center roller moving along the center guide rail 15 is leaded to the auxiliary guide rail 41. Then, the slide door can be coated while swinging with using an upper roller and a lower roller as a fulcrum.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sliding door locking device and a sliding door locking method installed on a side surface or a rear side surface of an automobile body. More specifically, when the sliding door attached to the vehicle body is removed from the vehicle body or partially removed and locked to the vehicle body, for example, when painting both the vehicle body and the sliding door to avoid difficulty in color matching, The present invention relates to a sliding door locking device and a sliding door locking method suitable for use in avoiding difficulty in coating a sliding door.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, assembling an automobile body and a sliding door after a painting process lowers the efficiency of the assembling work. Therefore, a sliding door is attached to the automobile body, and an automobile assembly line is transported to the painting process. However, in the painting process, if the slide door is not removed from the car body, there may be places where painting is insufficient.Therefore, once the slide door is removed from the car body and locked on the car body with a special jig Apply paint.

[0003]

[0007] Even when the slide door is once removed, and the slide jig is applied to the car body with a special jig and then applied to the car body, the automatic coating machine installed in the painting process is idled. In the painting process, the sliding door was painted by hand spraying. Therefore, there is a problem that the color of the vehicle body may not match the color of the slide door because the paint is sprayed on the vehicle body by an automatic coating machine and the paint is sprayed on the slide door by hand spraying.

Further, since the slide door is formally attached to the automobile body again after the painting process, there is a problem that the work of attaching the slide door to the automobile body before the painting process is meaningless.
