Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of piece-picking devices, in particular to a piece-picking device for an automobile interior trim panel. Background Art

[0002] Automotive interior panels are thin plates made by injection molding. To meet the overall aesthetic requirements of the vehicle interior, the product's outer contour consists of curved surfaces, with streamlined, curved surfaces rather than flat surfaces. After injection molding, automotive interior panels need to be removed from the mold. The prior art typically uses manual removal, which not only poses significant safety risks but also involves gradually removing the panel from the edge toward the center. Due to the thinness of the panel, this can easily cause deformation, impacting product quality. For example, utility model publication number CN216100229U discloses a fixture for removing injection-molded door interior panels. The fixture comprises a frame, several connecting rods, and a first fixing member. The connecting rods are fixedly connected to the frame via the first fixing member. The connecting rods are connected to a suction assembly, which includes a second fixing member and a suction cup. The second fixing member is provided with at least two second connecting holes, which are connected to the connecting rod through one of the second connecting holes. A sleeve is disposed within the second connecting hole, and the sleeve is movably connected to a second connecting rod. A telescopic spring is disposed on the exterior of the second connecting rod.

The protruding end of the electric telescopic rod 701 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 702. The lower end of the fixing seat 702 is fixedly installed with a cylinder 703. The movement direction of the cylinder 703 is perpendicular to the direction of the electric telescopic rod 701. The cylinder 703 and the suction cup 704 are rotatably connected through a spherical joint, so that the cylinder 703 and the suction cup 704 can rotate at any angle.

[0026] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second pick-up assembly 3 is also included. The second pick-up assembly 3 is fixedly mounted on the two side surfaces of the middle portion of the slide rail 1. The second pick-up assembly 3 includes gripping assemblies 7 on the left and right sides.
