One end of the robot arm assembly 4 is fitted with the clamping assembly 3. The clamping assembly 3 includes a base plate 5, on which a mounting hole 6 is formed. The bottom wall of the mounting hole 6 is connected to an air extraction pipe 8 in the inner cavity of the base plate 5 via a connecting channel 7. The device is connected to an external air pump via a connecting pipe 9. A vacuum suction cup 10 is threaded into the mounting hole 6. A sealing cap 11 can also be installed in the mounting hole 6. The sealing cap 11 is threadedly connected to the mounting hole 6. A limiting through hole 12 is provided in the middle of the device base plate 5. The device base plate 5 is installed at one end of the robotic arm assembly 4 by fixing bolts 13 passing through the limiting through hole 12. Several sets of mounting holes 6 are provided, and several sets of vacuum suction cups 10 are also provided. The vacuum suction cups 10 can be installed in different positions of the mounting holes 6 as needed. With the clamping assembly 3 in place, the equipment base plate 5 is first installed onto the connecting seat 43 using fixing bolts 13. Then, according to the part removal requirements of the injection molded parts, an appropriate number of vacuum suction cups 10 are installed into the mounting holes 6 at the predetermined positions. Then, the connecting pipe 9 is connected to the external air pump. During operation, the multi-stage robotic arm 42 drives the equipment base plate 5 and the vacuum suction cups 10 to move into the injection molding machine body 1 through the connecting seat 43 to remove the injection molded parts. Then, the multi-stage robotic arm 42 drives the equipment base plate 5 and the product to the palletizing table 2 again, and then the product is put down. This allows the device to reconfigure the clamping assembly 3 as needed during use, thereby reducing the number of clamping assemblies 3 and further reducing production costs.
[0027] In one embodiment, please refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As a further embodiment of this utility model, the robotic arm assembly 4 includes a base 41. A multi-stage robotic arm 42 is mounted on the upper end of the base 41, and a connecting seat 43 is mounted on the other end of the multi-stage robotic arm 42. The connecting seat 43 has a connecting hole 44. The equipment base plate 5 is installed on the connecting seat 43 by means of a fixing bolt 13 passing through a limiting through hole 12 and extending into the connecting hole 44. The fixing bolt 13 is threadedly connected to the connecting hole 44. In use, the multi-stage robotic arm 42 drives the equipment base plate 5 to move via the connecting seat 43. Simultaneously, the equipment base plate 5, installed with the fixing bolt 13, is more convenient to maintain.
[0028] In one embodiment, please refer to the appendix to the specification.

[0029] Workflow: In use, first, the equipment base plate 5 is installed onto the connecting seat 43 on the multi-stage robotic arm 42 using fixing bolts 13. Then, according to the requirements of the injection molded product, an appropriate number of vacuum suction cups 10 are selected and installed into the mounting holes 6 at predetermined positions. Next, the connecting pipe 9 is connected to an external air pump. During operation, the multi-stage robotic arm 42, through the connecting seat 43, moves the equipment base plate 5 and vacuum suction cups 10 into the injection molding machine body 1 to remove the injection molded product. During this process, the external air pump operates, connecting the... The air in the suction pipe 8, connecting channel 7 and mounting hole 6 is extracted by the pipe 9, so that the vacuum suction cup 10 can form a suction force to pick up the product. Then, the multi-stage robotic arm 42 moves the equipment base plate 5 and the product onto the palletizing table 2 and puts the product down. Then, the next work cycle can continue. When the product type changes, the vacuum suction cup 10 can be removed or the corresponding number can be added according to the product requirements. During this process, the mounting hole 6 of the vacuum suction cup 10 is removed and the sealing cap 11 needs to be installed into the mounting hole 6.
