[0032] The following specific working mode is described with specific examples:
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] The low pressure injection of interior trim plastic parts fabric burying frock of the utility model, servo motor no. 41 in reversing connecting mechanism 4 is driven rotary shell seat 42, servo motor no. 43, connecting flange 44, connecting plate 45 with aluminum alloy frame 20 rotation to water product through small synchronous pulley 41-1, synchronous belt, big synchronous pulley 42-1, at this time, the buried frock 2-1 is grabbed downward, and the frock assembly 2 is moved to the fabric above by the manipulator, and the center hole of the pneumatic needle clamp 21-4 in the fabric grabbing mechanism 21 is overlapped with the positioning hole on the fabric.
[0035] Then, the pneumatic needle clamp 21-4 works, the first needle clamp cylinder 21-40 drives the first needle 21-41 to extend and pierce the fabric, the second needle clamp cylinder 21-42 drives the second needle 21-43 to extend and pierce the fabric, and the positioning and clamping of the fabric are realized.
