The pressing block 33 can move up and down. The pressing block 33 is located directly above the cavity of the lower mold 4. The pressing block 33 is a raised pressing area of ​​the upper mold 3, which matches the cavity of the lower mold 4. A first electric push rod 34 is installed on the top of the inner cavity of the receiving groove 32. The bottom moving end of the first electric push rod 34 is connected to the top wall of the pressing block 33, and the pressing block 33 is completely in the inner cavity of the receiving groove 32;

[0033] An air outlet 13 is provided on the inner wall of the collecting and releasing groove 32, and the pressing block 33 is located above the air outlet 13. A gas collecting and releasing mechanism 6 (air pump) is installed above the upper mold 3. The air pump is connected to the air outlet 13 through a conduit, and the air pump supplies air to the inside of the mold through the air outlet 13 or extracts the gas inside the mold. The gas collecting and releasing mechanism 6 is used to first inject air into the mold, and the aluminum plate is first pressed by gas, and then the pressing block 33 is used to press, so that the aluminum plate is completely pressed into the cavity. The aluminum plate is first pressed by gas to reduce the resistance to the extension of the aluminum plate.

[0034] See also Figure 5 The pressing block 33 includes a mounting plate 331, a connecting block, an inner block 332, an outer block 333 and a second electric push rod 35.

[0035] The mounting plate 331 is mounted on the bottom moving end of the first electric push rod 34, a connecting block is mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting plate 331, an inner block 332 is mounted on the bottom wall of the connecting block, an outer block 333 is sleeved on the outer wall of the inner block 332, the outer block 333 can move up and down at the outer wall of the inner block 332, an elastic element (spring) is mounted between the outer wall of the inner block 332 and the outer wall of the outer block 333, a second electric push rod 35 is mounted on the top of the inner cavity of the storage slot 32, a through hole is opened on the top outer wall of the mounting plate 331, and the through hole is located directly below the moving end of the second electric push rod 35, so that the moving end of the second electric push rod 35 It can move downward through the through hole. When the pressing block 33 moves downward to press the aluminum plate, as the pressure of the pressing block 33 in contact with the aluminum plate increases, the outer block 333 moves upward, while the inner block 332 continues to contact the aluminum plate and presses the aluminum plate to the bottom of the cavity of the lower mold 4. Then the second electric push rod 35 works to move the outer block 333 downward and press the edge area of ​​the aluminum plate into the cavity of the lower mold 4, so that the pressure of the outer block 333 on the edge of the aluminum plate is small, ensuring that the aluminum plate can extend inside the cavity of the lower mold 4, avoiding the obstruction of the extension of the aluminum plate due to high pressure, and avoiding the occurrence of wrinkles in the aluminum plate product.

[0036] See also Figure 6 A mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the cavity of the lower mold 4, and a pressing block 17 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the mounting groove (the pressing block 17 is a telescopic block, which is the same as the telescopic rod, including a block body and a sleeve body, and the block body is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the sleeve body.

[0037] See also Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A U-shaped sealing block 16 is installed on the top wall of the lower mold 4, and the cavity of the lower mold 4 is inside the sealing block 16. When the processed aluminum plate is placed on the lower mold 4, the aluminum plate is in the inner cavity of the sealing block 16. A U-shaped sealing groove 31 is opened on the bottom wall of the upper mold 3, and the sealing groove 31 is directly above the sealing block 16. A rubber sealing gasket 18 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sealing block 16, and an air storage tank is opened inside the sealing gasket 18. An air pump 14 is installed on the top wall of the workbench 1, and the air pump 14 is connected to the air storage tank through a conduit.

[0038] A placement groove 20 is provided on the top wall of the lower mold 4, and a touch block 19 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the placement groove 20. The touch block 19 can move up and down, and the top of the touch block 19 is located above the inner cavity of the placement groove 20.

[0039] Embodiment 2:

[0040] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 On the basis of Example 1, a mounting box 7 is installed on the top wall of the upper mold 3, a first touch switch 9 is installed on the rear side of the inner cavity of the mounting box 7, the first touch switch 9 is connected to the gas retracting mechanism 6 through a wire, a mounting sleeve 10 is installed on the front side of the inner cavity of the mounting box 7, a moving rod 11 is slidably inserted into the rear side of the inner cavity of the mounting sleeve 10, the moving rod 11 can move forward and backward, a moving pressing plate 8 is installed on the rear end of the moving rod 11, and an elastic member 12 (spring) is sleeved on the outer wall of the moving rod 11, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 10 and the outer wall of the moving rod 11, and the moving rod 11 A magnetic block is installed at the front end, and an electromagnet is installed at the front side of the inner cavity of the mounting sleeve 10. The electromagnet is electrically connected to the third touch switch. The magnetic poles of the electromagnet and the magnetic block are the same. When the touch block 19 presses the third touch switch, the electromagnet will be energized to generate magnetic force, which repels the magnetic block, so that the moving rod 11 moves the moving pressing plate 8 backward, presses the first touch switch 9, and makes the gas collection and release mechanism 6 work, so that the gas collection and release mechanism 6 delays for a while before working, ensuring that the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 4 are completely sealed (because it takes a certain amount of time for the air pump 14 to inflate the air storage tank);

[0041] Compared with the first embodiment, components such as the installation box 7 are added, so that when the touch block 19 presses the third touch switch, the gas collection and release mechanism 6 delays for a while before working, ensuring that the upper mold 3 and the lower mold 4 are completely sealed.

[0042] Working principle: put the processed aluminum plate on the top of the lower mold 4, and make the aluminum plate in the middle of the sealing block 16, then the hydraulic push rod 5 works, and moves the upper mold 3 downward to fit with the lower mold 4, inserts the sealing block 16 into the inner cavity of the sealing groove 31, and also presses the touch block 19 completely into the inner cavity of the placement groove 20, presses the third touch switch, makes the gas collection and release mechanism 6 work, injects the gas into the inside of the mold through the outlet 13, applies pressure to the aluminum plate, squeezes the aluminum plate into the cavity of the lower mold 4, and the aluminum plate extends into the cavity to push the pressing block 17, so that the pressing block 17 presses the second touch switch, so that The gas collection and release mechanism 6 extracts the gas inside the mold and activates the first electric push rod 34 to move the pressing block 33 to the bottom of the upper mold 3 to press the aluminum plate. When the pressure between the pressing block 33 and the aluminum plate increases, the outer block 333 will move upward, while the inner block 332 will continue to contact the aluminum plate and press the aluminum plate to the bottom of the cavity of the lower mold 4. Then the second electric push rod 35 will work to push the outer block 333 downward and press the edge area of ​​the aluminum plate into the cavity of the lower mold 4, so that the aluminum plate is completely entered into the cavity. After completion, the upper mold 3 is moved up and reset to remove the finished aluminum plate product.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
