[0029] Combine the following Figure 1 and Figure 2 The manufacturing device 10 and the manufacturing method of the interior decoration part according to the embodiment of the present invention are described in detail.

[0030] Reference Figure 1As shown, according to the manufacturing device 10 of the interior decoration parts of the embodiment of the present invention, the interior decoration parts include: a frame and a skin, the inner surface of the skin is bonded to the outer surface of the frame, the manufacturing device 10 includes: an assembly component 1 and a loading component 2, the assembly component 1 includes: a first manipulator 11, a frame outer positioning tool 12, a glue machine 13 and a skin outer positioning tool 14, the first manipulator 11 is used to transfer the frame between the frame outer positioning tool 12, the glue machine 13 and the skin outer positioning tool 14, the frame outer positioning tool 12 is used to position and cooperate with the outer surface of the frame, the glue machine 13 is used to glue the outer surface of the frame, and the skin outer positioning tool 14 is used to position and cooperate with the outer surface of the skin.

[0031] The loading assembly 2 includes: an inner-skin positioning tool 21, an inner-skin positioning tool 22 and a flipping tool 23. The inner-skin positioning tool 21 is used for positioning and cooperating with the inner surface of the skin, and the inner-skin positioning tool 22 is used for positioning and cooperating with the inner surface of the skeleton. The inner-skin positioning tool 21 and the inner-skin positioning tool 22 are both installed on the flipping tool 23. The flipping tool 23 is used to flip the inner-skin positioning tool 21 and the inner-skin positioning tool 22 so that the skin on the inner-skin positioning tool 21 falls into the outer-skin positioning tool 14 and is positioned and cooperated with it, and the skeleton on the inner-skin positioning tool 22 falls into the outer-skin positioning tool 12 and is positioned and cooperated with it.

[0032] It is understandable that when the interior parts are manufactured, the operator 20 can first place the skin on the skin inner positioning tool 21 and place the frame on the frame inner positioning tool 22, and then flip the tool 23 to flip the skin inner positioning tool 21 and the frame inner positioning tool 22, so that the skin on the skin inner positioning tool 21 falls into the skin outer positioning tool 14, and the outer surface of the skin is positioned and matched with the skin outer positioning tool 14, so that the inner surface of the skin is exposed, so as to facilitate bonding with the frame, and the frame on the frame inner positioning tool 22 falls into the frame. The outer surface of the skeleton is positioned and matched with the outer positioning tool 12 of the skeleton, so that the first manipulator 11 can clamp the inner surface of the skeleton, and then the first manipulator 11 transfers the skeleton from the outer positioning tool 12 of the skeleton to the gluing machine 13, and then the gluing machine 13 glues the outer surface of the skeleton, and then the first manipulator 11 transfers the skeleton from the gluing machine 13 to the outer positioning tool 14 of the epidermis, and then the first manipulator 11 presses the skeleton downward to make the inner surface of the epidermis bonded to the outer surface of the skeleton, thereby completing the assembly of the interior decoration parts.

[0033] Among them, the interior decoration part can be an armrest of the vehicle, the inner surface of the skin can be the side of the skin facing away from the occupant, that is, the B side of the skin, the outer surface of the skin can be the side of the skin facing the occupant, that is, the A side of the skin, the inner surface of the frame can be the side of the frame facing away from the occupant, and the outer surface of the frame can be the side of the frame facing the occupant. In other words, the side where the frame is bonded to the skin is the outer surface of the frame, that is, the A side of the frame, and the side where the frame is not bonded to the skin is the inner surface of the frame, that is, the B side of the frame. The glue machine 13 can be a fixed gun head glue machine.

[0034] In this embodiment, the skeleton is transferred between the skeleton external positioning tool 12, the gluing machine 13 and the epidermis external positioning tool 14 by the first manipulator 11, so that the skeleton transfer can be automated, which is beneficial to reduce labor costs. When transferring the skeleton, the first manipulator 11 can accurately control the position of the skeleton, and can ensure the accuracy of the position of the skeleton during the gluing process and the assembly process of the skeleton and the epidermis, which is beneficial to improve the stability and consistency of the quality of the interior parts.

[0035] In addition, the positioning tool 21 inside the epidermis and the positioning tool 22 inside the skeleton can respectively realize the positioning of the epidermis and the skeleton before flipping, so that the epidermis can accurately fall into the positioning tool 14 outside the epidermis and the skeleton can accurately fall into the positioning tool 12 outside the skeleton. The positioning tool 14 outside the epidermis and the positioning tool 12 outside the skeleton can respectively realize the positioning of the epidermis and the skeleton after flipping, so that the epidermis and the skeleton can be accurately positioned, which is beneficial to improve the assembly accuracy of the epidermis and the skeleton.

[0036] It should be noted that after the skin on the inner-skin positioning tooling 21 falls into the outer-skin positioning tooling 14, and the skeleton on the inner-skeleton positioning tooling 22 falls into the outer-skeleton positioning tooling 12, the flipping tooling 23 can be flipped and reset, and the first manipulator 11 can continue to place the skin into the inner-skin positioning tooling 21 and the skeleton into the inner-skeleton positioning tooling 22 while the skeleton is being transferred. Thus, the operator 20 can use the time when the first manipulator 11 transfers the skeleton to load materials, which can reduce the waiting time of the operator 20, is beneficial to improving the production rhythm of interior decoration parts, thereby improving the production efficiency of the production line.

[0037] According to the manufacturing device 10 of the interior decoration parts of the embodiment of the utility model, the skin and the skeleton are flipped and loaded by the flipping tool 23, the skin inner positioning tool 21 and the skin outer positioning tool 14 can realize the precise positioning of the skin, the skeleton inner positioning tool 22 and the skeleton outer positioning tool 12 can realize the precise positioning of the skeleton, which is beneficial to improve the assembly accuracy of the skin and the skeleton, and after the skeleton is flipped, the skeleton is automatically transported by the first manipulator 11, which is beneficial to improve the degree of automation of the manufacturing device 10, in addition, while the first manipulator 11 is transporting the skeleton, it can continue to load the skin inner positioning tool 21 and the skeleton inner positioning tool 22, which is beneficial to improve the production efficiency of the production line.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 As shown, the assembly component 1 further includes: a heating machine 15 , which is used to heat the colloid on the outer surface of the skeleton, and the first manipulator 11 is also used to transfer the skeleton to the heating machine 15 .

[0039] It can be understood that after the glue machine 13 applies glue to the outer surface of the skeleton, the first robot 11 can first transfer the skeleton to the heating machine 15, and then transfer the skeleton from the heating machine 15 to the outer skin positioning tooling 14. The heating machine 15 can heat the colloid on the outer surface of the skeleton to activate the colloid, so that the inner surface of the skin can be bonded and connected to the outer surface of the skeleton through the activated colloid.

[0040] Among them, the heating machine 15 may include a quartz lamp tube, and the heating machine 15 can be arranged according to the outer surface of the skeleton, that is, the colloid at any position on the outer surface of the skeleton is at the same minimum distance from the quartz lamp tube, ensuring full coverage of the gluing area. After the skeleton is transported to the heating machine 15 and is in place, heating is started.

[0041] In some embodiments, the colloid may be a hot melt adhesive, which does not require secondary heating for activation, and is beneficial for improving the production rhythm of interior decoration parts, thereby improving the production efficiency of the production line.

[0042] In other embodiments, the glue machine 13 may be integrated with a heating device. The glue machine 13 can heat the colloid while applying glue on the outer surface of the skeleton to activate the colloid. The time of gluing can be used to activate the colloid, which is helpful to save time, thereby helping to improve the production rhythm of interior decoration parts, thereby improving the production efficiency of the production line.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the assembly component 1 also includes: an edge wrapping machine 18, which is connected to the outer skin positioning tooling 14. The edge wrapping machine 18 is used to wrap and bend the edges and corners of the skin and the frame on the outer skin positioning tooling 14 to ensure that the skin and the frame are firmly bonded, improve the durability of the interior decoration parts, and make the appearance of the interior decoration parts smooth to improve the aesthetics of the interior decoration parts, thereby helping to improve the product competitiveness of the interior decoration parts.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, the hemming machine 18 may include a first cylinder, a second cylinder and an hemming slider, the cylinder body of the first cylinder is connected to the outer skin positioning tooling 14, the piston rod of the first cylinder is connected to the cylinder body of the second cylinder, the piston rod of the second cylinder is connected to the hemming slider, and the extension and retraction direction of the piston rod of the first cylinder is perpendicular to the extension and retraction direction of the piston rod of the second cylinder.

[0045] Specifically, after the first manipulator 11 transfers the skeleton after gluing to the positioning tool 14 in the skin, the first manipulator 11 presses down the skeleton to bond the skeleton to the skin. The corners where the skin and the skeleton are bonded may form warping. At this time, the piston rod of the first cylinder of the hemming machine 18 is extended to make the second cylinder and the hemming slider move as a whole toward the corners where the skin and the skeleton are bonded. Then the piston of the second cylinder is extended to drive the hemming slider to flatten the skin at the corners, thereby achieving hemming and corner wrapping to eliminate warping. The hemming slider can maintain pressure at the corners where the skin and the skeleton are bonded to make the skin firmly bonded to the skeleton, thereby reducing the risk of warping during subsequent use of the interior parts.

[0046] There can be multiple edge wrapping machines 18 , which can be arranged at intervals around the positioning tool 14 outside the skin. The multiple edge wrapping machines 18 can wrap edges and corners at different corners where the skin and the frame are bonded.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the surface of the inner skin positioning tool 21 in contact with the inner surface of the skin is a first profile surface, and the first profile surface is the same as the outer surface of the skeleton, which is conducive to achieving accurate positioning of the skin.

[0048] It can be understood that the inner positioning tool 21 of the epidermis can be a convex block made according to the 1:1 profiling of the skeleton, that is, the inner positioning tool 21 of the epidermis has the same shape as the skeleton. When the epidermis is placed on the inner positioning tool 21 of the epidermis, it is equivalent to assembling the epidermis to the skeleton. The first molded surface can support the inner surface of the epidermis to avoid the displacement of the epidermis when the inner positioning tool 21 of the epidermis is flipped over, thereby achieving precise positioning of the epidermis.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, an automatic alignment mechanism may be provided on the intra-epidermal positioning tool 21, and the automatic alignment mechanism may include a slide, a lifting structure and a positioning tool. Before the epidermis is placed on the intra-epidermal positioning tool 21, the lifting structure lifts the slide, and the slide drives the positioning tool to move to the outside of the intra-epidermal positioning tool 21 to avoid interference between the positioning tool and the epidermis, thereby facilitating the placement of the epidermis on the intra-epidermal positioning tool 21. After the epidermis is placed on the intra-epidermal positioning tool 21, the lifting structure descends, and the slide drives the positioning tool to move to the suture groove of the epidermis to achieve precise positioning of the epidermis.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the surface of the epidermis outer positioning tool 14 that contacts the outer surface of the epidermis is a second profile surface, and the second profile surface is complementary to the first profile surface, which is conducive to achieving accurate positioning of the epidermis.

[0051] It can be understood that the outer skin positioning tooling 14 can be a concave block, and the second profile is complementary to the first profile, that is, the second profile and the first profile can be tightly fitted together. When the skin is flipped over and falls into the outer skin positioning tooling 14, the outer surface of the skin can be tightly fitted with the second profile, thereby achieving precise positioning of the skin, and the inner surface of the skin is exposed to facilitate the bonding of the inner surface of the skin to the outer surface of the skeleton.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, both the first molding surface and the second molding surface are provided with at least one vacuum adsorption hole.

[0053] It can be understood that by opening a vacuum adsorption hole on the first mold surface, after the epidermis is placed on the first mold surface, vacuum can be drawn at the vacuum adsorption hole so that the epidermis is adsorbed on the first mold surface. When the flipping tool 23 flips the epidermis internal positioning tool 21, the movement of the epidermis relative to the first mold surface can be avoided, thereby maintaining the positioning of the epidermis. After the flipping is completed, the vacuum drawing can be stopped to facilitate the epidermis to fall into the epidermis external positioning tool 14.

[0054] By opening a vacuum adsorption hole on the second mold surface, after the skin falls into the skin outer positioning tooling 14, vacuum can be drawn at the vacuum adsorption hole to allow the skin to be adsorbed on the second mold surface, thereby achieving fixation and positioning of the skin, so that the skin can be accurately bonded to the frame. After the skin is bonded to the frame, vacuum drawing can be stopped to separate the skin from the skin outer positioning tooling 14, which is beneficial for the removal of interior decoration parts.

[0055] In this embodiment, the skin can be smoothly fitted to the first molded surface or the second molded surface by vacuum adsorption of the skin, and compared with the method of fixing the skin with a clamp, the damage to the surface of the skin can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the production quality of interior decoration parts.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of vacuum adsorption holes opened on the first mold surface and the number of vacuum adsorption holes opened on the second mold surface are both multiple. By drawing vacuum at the multiple vacuum adsorption holes opened on the first mold surface, multiple parts of the epidermis can be adsorbed on the first mold surface, which is conducive to the smooth fitting of the epidermis and the first mold surface. By drawing vacuum at the multiple vacuum adsorption holes opened on the second mold surface, multiple parts of the epidermis can be adsorbed on the second mold surface, which is conducive to the smooth fitting of the epidermis and the second mold surface.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1As shown, the assembly component 1 is arranged in the closed assembly area 31, and the flipping tool 23 has a loading position and a blanking position. In the loading position, the inner-skin positioning tool 21 and the inner-skeleton positioning tool 22 are located outside the closed assembly area 31. In the blanking position, the inner-skin positioning tool 21 and the inner-skeleton positioning tool 22 are both located in the closed assembly area 31, and the inner-skin positioning tool 21 is located directly above the outer-skin positioning tool 14, and the inner-skeleton positioning tool 22 is located directly above the outer-skeleton positioning tool 12.

[0058] It can be understood that when the flipping tool 23 is in the loading position, the intra-epidermal positioning tool 21 and the intra-skeleton positioning tool 22 are located outside the closed assembly area 31, and the operator 20 can perform loading operations outside the closed assembly area 31, which can avoid the first manipulator 11 and the second manipulator 16 in the closed assembly area 31 from colliding with the operator 20 during operation, which is beneficial to ensuring the safety of the operator 20.

[0059] When the flipping tool 23 is in the blanking position, the inner-skin positioning tool 21 is located directly above the outer-skin positioning tool 14, and the inner-skeleton positioning tool 22 is located directly above the outer-skeleton positioning tool 12, so that the skin on the inner-skin positioning tool 21 can fall into the outer-skin positioning tool 14 under the action of its own gravity and be positioned and matched with it, and the skeleton on the inner-skeleton positioning tool 22 can fall into the outer-skeleton positioning tool 12 under the action of its own gravity and be positioned and matched with it.

[0060] Among them, refer to Figure 1 As shown, a safety fence 3 is provided on the periphery of the assembly component 1, and the safety fence 3 defines a closed assembly area 31. The safety fence 3 can prevent the operator from entering the closed assembly area 31, and prevent the first manipulator 11 and the second manipulator 16 in the closed assembly area 31 from colliding with the operator 20 during operation, which is beneficial to ensuring the safety of the operator 20.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 As shown, the assembly component 1 also includes: a second manipulator 16, which is used to move the interior decoration parts out of the outer positioning tool 12 of the frame, which can reduce manual operations, is beneficial to improving the automation level of the manufacturing device 10, and is beneficial to saving labor costs.

[0062] In addition, after the first manipulator 11 transfers the skeleton to the skin inner positioning tooling 21, the first manipulator 11 can release the skeleton, and the second manipulator 16 can replace the first manipulator 11 to clamp the skeleton, and press down the skeleton for pressure maintenance so that the skin is firmly bonded to the skeleton. During the pressure maintenance process, the first manipulator 11 can move to the skeleton outer positioning tooling 12 and continue to clamp the next skeleton to make full use of the pressure maintenance time to carry out the next interior decoration part manufacturing process, which is beneficial to improve the production rhythm of the interior decoration parts, thereby improving the production efficiency of the production line.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 As shown, the assembly component 1 also includes: a conveyor belt 17, which is used to receive the interior decoration parts removed by the second manipulator 16. The conveyor belt 17 is also used to transfer the interior decoration parts to the edge or outside of the closed assembly area 31, thereby transferring the interior decoration parts to a safe area, so that the operator 20 can safely remove the interior decoration parts.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the safety fence 3 is provided with a loading port at the flipping tool 23 to avoid the flipping tool 23, so as to prevent the flipping tool 23 from interfering with the safety fence 3 during flipping. At the end of the conveyor belt 17 away from the second manipulator 16, the safety fence 3 is provided with a unloading port to avoid the conveyor belt 17, so as to facilitate the operator 20 to remove the interior decoration parts transported by the conveyor belt 17.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 As shown, the maximum length of the manufacturing device 10 is L, and the maximum width of the manufacturing device 10 is W, L=3000 mm, W=2000 mm, and the manufacturing device 10 occupies a small space, which facilitates the layout of the manufacturing device 10.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first manipulator 11 may include a six-axis manipulator, a first quick-change module and a first clamp, and the second manipulator 16 may include a three-axis manipulator, a second quick-change module and a second clamp. The first clamp is detachably connected to the six-axis manipulator through the first quick-change module, and the second clamp is detachably connected to the three-axis manipulator through the second quick-change module. According to the model of the interior parts to be manufactured, the first clamp and the second clamp corresponding to the model of the interior parts can be quickly replaced to adapt to the manufacture of the interior parts, which is conducive to improving the versatility of the manufacturing device 10.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the outer frame positioning tooling 12, the outer skin positioning tooling 14, the heating machine 15, the inner skin positioning tooling 21 and the inner frame positioning tooling 22 can all be replaced independently, and are communicated with the controller outside the manufacturing device 10 through a 48-pin aviation plug. An automatic identification program is set in the controller. The controller can automatically identify whether the models of the outer frame positioning tooling 12, the outer skin positioning tooling 14, the heating machine 15, the inner skin positioning tooling 21 and the inner frame positioning tooling 22 match the models of the interior decoration parts to be produced. If they do not match, the controller can control the alarm to sound a warning to remind people that they need to replace the outer frame positioning tooling 12, the outer skin positioning tooling 14, the heating machine 15, the inner skin positioning tooling 21 and the inner frame positioning tooling 22 corresponding to the models of the interior decoration parts.

[0068] Reference Figure 2As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the interior decoration part is manufactured by the above-mentioned interior decoration part manufacturing device 10, and the interior decoration part manufacturing method includes:

[0069] Step S1: placing the skin on the skin inner positioning fixture, and placing the frame on the frame inner positioning fixture.

[0070] The operator 20 can manually place the skin on the skin internal positioning tool 21 and the frame on the frame internal positioning tool 22 outside the closed assembly area 31 .

[0071] Step S2: Flipping the tooling: Flipping the inner skin positioning tooling and the inner frame positioning tooling.

[0072] It can be understood that by flipping the inner-epidermal positioning tooling 21 and the inner-framework positioning tooling 22 by the flipping tooling 23, the epidermis on the inner-epidermal positioning tooling 21 can fall into the outer-epidermal positioning tooling 14 and be positioned and matched therewith, and the frame on the inner-framework positioning tooling 22 can fall into the outer-framework positioning tooling 12 and be positioned and matched therewith.

[0073] Step S3: The first manipulator clamps the skeleton at the skeleton external positioning tool, and transfers the skeleton to the glue spraying machine and the epidermis external positioning tool in sequence.

[0074] It can be understood that after the first manipulator 11 transfers the skeleton from the external positioning tooling 12 to the gluing machine 13, the gluing machine 13 glues the outer surface of the skeleton, and then the first manipulator 11 can transfer the skeleton from the gluing machine 13 to the external positioning tooling 14 of the skin so that the inner surface of the skin is bonded to the outer surface of the skeleton, thereby completing the assembly of the interior decoration parts.

[0075] According to the manufacturing method of the interior decoration parts of the embodiment of the utility model, the skin and the skeleton are flipped and loaded by the flipping tool 23, the skin inner positioning tool 21 and the skin outer positioning tool 14 can realize the precise positioning of the skin, the skeleton inner positioning tool 22 and the skeleton outer positioning tool 12 can realize the precise positioning of the skeleton, which is beneficial to improve the assembly accuracy of the skin and the skeleton, and after the skeleton is flipped, the skeleton is automatically transported by the first manipulator 11, which is beneficial to improve the degree of automation of the manufacturing device 10. In addition, while the first manipulator 11 is transporting the skeleton, the skin inner positioning tool 21 and the skeleton inner positioning tool 22 can continue to be loaded, which is beneficial to improve the production efficiency of the production line.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, after the glue machine 13 applies glue to the outer surface of the skeleton, the first robot 11 can first transfer the skeleton to the heating machine 15 to heat the colloid on the outer surface of the skeleton to activate the colloid, and then the first robot 11 transfers the skeleton to the outer skin positioning tooling 14.

[0077] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the method for manufacturing an interior decoration part includes:

[0078] Step S11: Manual loading, the turning tool is turned from the loading position to the unloading position, and then turned back from the unloading position to the loading position.

[0079] Among them, manual loading is that the operator places the skin on the skin inner positioning tool 21, places the skeleton on the skeleton inner positioning tool 22, and flips the flip tool 23 from the loading position to the unloading position, so that the skin on the skin inner positioning tool 21 can fall into the skin outer positioning tool 14 and be positioned and matched with it, and the skeleton on the skeleton inner positioning tool 22 can fall into the skeleton outer positioning tool 12 and be positioned and matched with it.

[0080] Specifically, the inner positioning tool 21 of the epidermis can be a convex block with a 1:1 contour of the skeleton, and the outer positioning tool 14 of the epidermis is a concave block. Vacuum adsorption holes are provided on both the convex block and the concave block. The operator positions the B side of the epidermis with stitching shape on the convex block, and the automatic alignment mechanism assists in positioning the sewing thread in the stitching groove, and fixes the epidermis on the convex block by vacuum adsorption. After positioning is completed, the convex block places the A side of the epidermis on the concave block through the flipping tool 23, and the concave block is vacuum-covered to fix the epidermis, waiting to be compounded with the skeleton after spraying glue.

[0081] Step S12: The first robot clamps the skeleton at the skeleton external positioning tool, and transfers the skeleton to the glue machine, the heating machine and the skin external positioning tool in sequence.

[0082] Among them, the first manipulator 11 adopts a combination of "six-axis robot arm + first quick-change module + first clamp". The first clamp is designed according to the outer surface profiling of the skeleton. The glue machine 13 is a fixed gun head glue machine, and the colloid is hot melt glue. The heating machine 15 adopts a quartz lamp tube and is arranged according to the outer surface profiling of the skeleton to ensure that the glue spraying or gluing area of ​​the skeleton is fully covered. The heating is started after the skeleton is in place.

[0083] Specifically, by driving the first clamp to move through the six-axis robot arm, the skeleton clamped by the first clamp can be first moved to the gun head of the glue spraying machine 13 to complete the glue spraying on the outer surface of the skeleton, and then the skeleton is moved to the heating machine 15 to heat the colloid on the outer surface of the skeleton, and finally the skeleton is moved to the outer skin positioning tool 14 to press down the skeleton to bond the skeleton and the epidermis.

[0084] Step S13: the hemming machine hems and corners the edges and corners where the skin and the frame are bonded, the first manipulator moves back to the vicinity of the positioning tooling outside the frame, and the second manipulator clamps the frame and maintains pressure.

[0085] Among them, the second manipulator 16 can adopt a combination of "three-axis manipulator + second quick-change module + second clamp". The second clamp is designed according to the outer surface of the skeleton. When the first manipulator 11 releases the skeleton and moves back to the vicinity of the positioning tooling outside the skeleton, the second manipulator 16 takes over the first manipulator 11 to clamp the skeleton and keep pressing the skeleton down to achieve pressure maintenance.

[0086] Step S14: The second robot transfers the interior decoration parts to the conveyor belt.

[0087] After the pressure maintenance of the skeleton and the skin is completed, the second manipulator 16 clamps the finished product and places it on the conveyor belt 17, and the conveyor belt 17 delivers the finished product to the final inspection area.

[0088] Step S15: During the process of step S12 to step S14, the operator again places the skin in the skin inner positioning tool and places the skeleton in the skeleton inner positioning tool.

[0089] Step S16: The final inspection inspector takes out the finished product for final inspection.

[0090] According to the manufacturing method of the interior decoration parts of the embodiment of the present invention, less manpower is required, and only two people are needed for the entire production line, and basically all process automation is achieved, and the product quality stability and consistency are high.
