[0002] During the production process, the shell of the panel switch undergoes a precise injection molding process to ensure that the appearance and dimensions of the product meet the design requirements. After injection molding, the manipulator will accurately stack the material boxes or fixture frames containing the panel switches to form neat stacks, which is convenient for subsequent transportation and storage. The operation of the manipulator is precise and efficient, and it can quickly complete the stacking task, improving production efficiency.

[0003] In the current manipulator structure, a suction cup adsorption structure is usually adopted for the adsorption and picking of material boxes or fixture frames.

When the suction cup is in long-term contact with it, it is not only easy to adhere to dust, but also affected by temperature, and its service life is also tested. Based on this, in order to improve the applicability of the existing injection molding manipulator, we propose an adsorption structure of an injection molding manipulator.

The cylinder is fixed to the arm 31, and its shaft end is fixed to the sliding seat Y33. By the telescopic movement of the cylinder, the sliding seat Y33 is driven to move linearly.

[0026] Based on the above embodiments, the displacement mechanism Z4 in the embodiments of the present utility model includes a lifting tube 41. The lifting tube 41 is slidably connected to the sliding seat Y33. A transmission unit 42 for driving the lifting tube 41 to move up and down is further fixed on the sliding seat Y33.
