[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, automobiles have entered thousands of households and become the most important means of transportation for daily travel. Currently, in domestic assembly plants and trial assembly workshops, some parts lack dedicated storage racks. This leads to problems such as large space requirements and susceptibility to damage when parts are stored, significantly increasing production and management costs. For example, automotive trim parts are a crucial component of a car, and their quality directly affects the aesthetics of the interior. Automotive trim parts are made from plastic through a one-piece molding process. During production and assembly, these parts frequently require storage and turnover. However, because racks are often open-ended, accidents can easily damage the parts, affecting product quality. Furthermore, existing racks often lack lifting capabilities, requiring bending over to place and retrieve lower-level parts, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, designing a transfer box for automotive trim part processing is particularly important to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
