[0002] During the stamping production of automotive sunroofs, the leftover material is often quite large. Traditional processes involve chopping the leftover material and disposing of it as waste through a waste pit. However, this process presents several problems: 1. Due to the large size of the waste material and the limited size of the waste pit, it needs to be chopped in sequence before being discharged, resulting in material waste. 2. If the waste material is not chopped and is conveyed to the end of the line along with the finished product, additional workstations and personnel are required for dedicated collection, increasing costs and making it impossible to collect and process in batches.

[0003] Patent CN108746396A, published on November 6, 2018, discloses a method for collecting stamping waste from automobile sunroofs. The method involves placing a stamped workpiece on a stamping die, which stamps the workpiece, dividing it into two independent parts: a sunroof workpiece and a sunroof waste workpiece. The two parts are then removed from the die, the sunroof workpiece is moved to the next processing step, and the sunroof waste workpiece is moved to a designated sunroof waste storage location for collection. However, this method for collecting stamping waste from automobile sunroofs does not solve the aforementioned technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the waste collection device for the car sunroof has a support frame 4 and a collection frame 5 on the base plate 3, with the collection frame 5 located inside the support frame 4; an end effector 6 is provided above the support frame 4, and the end effector 6 is connected to a suction cup; the suction cup includes a first suction cup 7 and a second suction cup 8, with the second suction cup 8 located inside the first suction cup 7.

[0024] In the above structure, the end effector 6 and the suction cup are used to transfer the top cover between processes. The first suction cup 7 is vertically aligned with the support frame 4, and the second suction cup 8 is vertically aligned with the collection frame 5. The support frame 4 serves as a temporary support position for the top cover between two adjacent processes. The collection frame 5 is used to store the waste parts 2 separated from the top cover 1. The top cover 1 is transferred to the support frame 4 by suction cup adsorption. When the preceding process cuts off the separation port between the top cover 1 and the waste parts 2, the top cover 1 and the waste parts 2 are transferred synchronously by suction cup. After the suction cup air source stops supplying, the support frame 4 forms a support effect for the top cover 1, and the collection frame 5 forms a collection effect for the waste parts 2, realizing the secondary utilization of the waste parts 2.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the collection frame 5 includes a base frame 9 and side frames 10. The bottom of the base frame 9 has a forklift opening 11 with a U-shaped structure. One side of the side frame 10 has a material handling opening 12 located above the forklift opening 11. There are two of each opening. The two forklift openings 11 are used to align with the forks of a forklift, facilitating the removal of the fully loaded collection frame 5 from the base plate 3. Subsequently, waste parts 2 inside the collection frame 5 can be removed through the material handling openings 12, achieving batch removal and reducing the processing difficulty of the collection frame 5. This collection frame 5 can load more than 500 pieces at a time, far exceeding the efficiency of manual collection and improving production efficiency.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the base plate 3 is provided with a connecting groove 13, and the bottom ends of the support frame 4 and the collection frame 5 are each provided with a connecting plate 19. The side of the connecting plate 19 is provided with an opening 14, which is located above the connecting groove 13. Each support frame 4 and collection frame 5 is provided with four connecting plates 19. The openings 14 correspond to the connecting grooves 13, and the support frame 4 and collection frame 5 are fixed to the base plate 3 by connectors. The bottom end of the support frame 4 is also provided with a fixing plate 17, which is fixed to the base for a secondary fixation through the fixing holes 18 on the fixing plate 17.

[0027] like Figure 6As shown, the connecting grooves 13 are evenly spaced and have a straight-line structure, with both ends extending to the sides of the base plate 3. With this structure, the connecting plate 19 can be adjusted in position on the upper plane of the base plate 3, ensuring accurate alignment between the support frame 4 and the top cover 1, and making the support frame 4, collection frame 5, and end effector 6 on the production line collinear. This facilitates the matching of the support frame 4 and the canopy with the production line.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the support frame 4 is provided with pads 15. There are four pads 15, which can contact the top cover to form a stable support. When the suction cup stops supplying air, the top cover will fall on the pads 15, which makes it easy for the waste part 2 to be removed from the top cover, and also makes it easy for the end effector 6 in the next process to transfer the top cover.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, both the support frame 4 and the collection frame 5 are equipped with lifting lugs 16 on both sides. The lifting lugs 16 facilitate the hoisting of the support frame 4 and the collection frame 5 onto the base plate 3 for installation. Both the support frame 4 and the collection frame 5 are constructed by welding square tubing. The use of square tubing in this structure facilitates welding and reduces manufacturing costs; the square tubing also possesses sufficient strength to ensure the long-term reliable use of the support structure.

[0030] When producing sunroof covers, the collection frame 5 serves as a waste collection point. The operation is as follows: After the previous process cuts and separates the sunroof waste from the cover, the cover is attracted by the suction cup of the end effector 6 from the previous process and conveyed along the guide rail to the support frame 4 and the collection frame 5. The end effector 6 moves the suction cup downwards. When the top plate contacts the support frame 4, the suction cup stops supplying air, and the cover 1 falls onto the support frame 4. Since the waste part 2 has no structural support at the bottom, it detaches from the cover and falls into the collection frame 5 under gravity. The end effector 6 from the previous process resets, and the end effector 6 in the next process uses the suction cup to attract the cover and convey it to the next workstation. This process is repeated to complete the automated batch collection of waste. This device can also be applied to the production of sunroof covers without sunroofs, as waste collection is not required when producing sunroof covers without sunroofs. The collection frame 5 can be set as an empty workstation, without occupying production line space.

[0031] Compared with existing technologies, this automotive sunroof waste collection device eliminates the shredding process of waste parts 2. By setting up collection frames 5, it automatically collects the waste parts 2 in batches, realizing the secondary utilization of the waste parts 2 material. It also eliminates the need for additional dedicated personnel for collection, reducing the overall vehicle manufacturing cost. The overall device has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and is easy to place on the assembly line, which is conducive to production line layout and meets the requirements of automotive automated production.

[0032] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention; or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
