[0035] The working mode of the present invention: 1. The mold lifting drive 20a of the mold forming mechanism 20 rises to make the bearing platform 20c level with the material bearing frame 4. The inner support drive 20e resets to keep the inner support mold 20d in a contracted and closed state. Then, the formed side plates are placed into the bearing template 6 of the material bearing frame 4, and the joints brushed with glue are placed at both ends of the side plates;

[0036] 2. Start the inner support drive 20e to push the inner support mold 20d outwards. The inner support mold 20d opens to make the side plates closely adhere to the inner wall of the bearing template 6. The airbag or vacuum suction cups on the bearing template 6 are attached to the side plates. Then, the heating drive 7 is started to push the heater 8 to the joint part for heat setting, so that the side plates and the joints are firmly bonded together;

[0037] 3. The slide drive 14 drives the processing slide 13 to move along the processing guide rail 12 to directly above the material carrier 4, so that the rib groove processing mechanism 16 is suspended above the bonded side plate. Subsequently, the lifting drive 17 drives the lifting slide 18 to descend. At this time, the side plate is fixed in the bearing template 6, and the processing drive 19 drives the processing tool to mill the rib grooves on the bonded side plate.

[0038] 4. After the rib grooves are milled, the lifting drive 17 drives the lifting slide 18 to rise and reset, the die lifting drive 20a drives the carrier frame to descend and reset, and exits the material carrier 4. The material drive 5 drives the material carrier 4 and the side plate thereon to move rightward by a certain distance, and a back plate coated with glue is placed in the back pressure bonding template 21b.

[0039] 5. The bracket drive 11 drives the pressing bracket 9 to move above the side plate. The back plate drive 21a drives the back pressure bonding template 21b provided with the back plate to rise and stick to the bottom surface of the side plate. The panel drive 22a drives the surface pressure bonding template 22b to press down. By the combined force of the back plate drive 21a and the panel drive 22a, the side plate and the back plate are closely attached, and then the pressing process of the mandolin side plate and the back plate is completed.

[0040] 6. The panel drive 22a drives the surface pressure bonding template 22b to rise, places the panel coated with glue on the top of the side plate, and then controls the panel drive 22a to drive the surface pressure bonding template 22b to descend and press on the panel, so that the panel and the side plate are closely attached. After the attachment is completed, it is taken off from the bearing template 6 to complete the pasting and forming operation of the mandolin body.

[0041] During the above process of attaching the back plate, to improve the drying efficiency of the glue, according to the properties of the glue, cold air or hot air can be blown to the side plate and the panel through the drying nozzle 24 to accelerate the drying speed.
