[0026] Specifically, the mold taking jig (112) comprises a sliding rod (1120), a connecting plate (1121) for connecting the sliding rod (1120) and the pushing block (1122), a pushing block (1122) connected to the connecting plate (1121), an auxiliary plate (1123) connected to the pushing block (1122), three suction cups (1124) and four positioning pins (1125) arranged on the auxiliary plate (1123), wherein the four positioning pins (1125) are respectively arranged on both sides of the suction cup (1124) and fixed on the auxiliary plate (1123);

[0027] The suction cup (1124) is connected to the auxiliary plate (1123) by bolts, the suction cup (1124) is used to suck the mold, and the positioning pin (1125) is used to be embedded in the groove of the mold to prevent sliding and dislocation when taking the mold;
