The first assembly line sends the foam tooling board to the material taking end 1. After the foam tooling board is transported to the corresponding conveying module 3, the CTU transports the parts on the fluent strip rack 4 at the bottom of the conveying module 3 upward according to the process and places them on the foam tooling board. At the material taking end 1, the foam tooling board slides from the first assembly line to the switching platform, and the CTU sends the foam tooling board to the first assembly line. The parts on the loading plate are placed on the smooth strip material rack 6 at the bottom of the storage module 11, and then the motor 223 drives the switching platform and the empty foam tooling plate to move to the end of the second horizontal line, and the belt 32 starts to rotate to send the empty foam tooling plate into the second horizontal line. After the loading end 2, the empty foam tooling plate slides from the second assembly line to the switching platform, and the motor drives the switching platform and the empty foam tooling plate to move to the end of the first assembly line. The CTU continuously takes out the parts on the smooth strip material rack 5 and places them on the foam tooling plate on the switching platform, and then repeats the cycle.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods.
