[0039] In summary, in this embodiment, the composite material molding fixture, through the interaction of the lower mold 10, one-way valve 17, first limiting plate 4, and second limiting block 25, enables the fixture to be used in an autoclave. The one-way valve 17, in conjunction with a vacuum pump, enables vacuuming. The sliding rod 7, sliding on the base 1, moves the first limiting plate 4, which in turn presses the sealing film. The second limiting block 25 secures the sealing film to the lower mold 10, allowing the composite material to be processed in an autoclave. The interaction of the upper mold 2 and lower mold 10 enables the fixture to be used in a hot press. The threaded rod 27 lowers the pressure plate 26, pressing the upper mold 2. It can provide pressure when used in the dryer. By setting the mounting block 13, the one-way valve 17 can be disassembled, preventing the one-way valve 17 from affecting the pressing of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 10. By setting the second limiting block 25 and the first limiting plate 4, the lower mold 10 can be limited. By setting the first limiting block 24 and the second limiting plate 5, the upper mold 2 can be limited. It can lock the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 10 after hot pressing, and make the tooling adaptable to the dryer. By setting the first insert 23 to engage with the first slot, the sliding rod 7 can be fixed after movement, preventing the first limiting plate 4 from moving, and simultaneously limiting the first limiting plate 4 and the second limiting plate 5. By setting the second limiting plate 5 to slide with the first limiting plate 4, it can... When the second limiting plate 5 is not in use, it can be slid into the first limiting plate 4 for storage. By setting the second limiting block 25 to slide into the second limiting plate 5, the first limiting block 24 can be slid into the second limiting plate 5 for storage when the first limiting block 24 is not in use, thus preventing the second limiting plate 5 from affecting the pressing of the upper mold 2 and the lower mold 10. By setting the first slider 18 to slide into the first slide groove, the third limiting plate 8 can slide on the base 1, which facilitates the removal and insertion of the first insert rod 23. By setting the locking ball 19 to engage with the locking groove, the first insert rod 23 can be fixed after movement, which can improve the stability of the first insert rod 23 after insertion. By setting the second grip, it is easy to pull the slider 7, and thus easy to pull the first limiting plate 4. The positioning plate 4 and the second limiting plate 5, by setting the second bolt, can fix the moved first limiting block 24, and can fix the inserted first limiting block 24, thereby limiting the upper mold 2. By setting the second slider 20 to slide and connect with the second slide groove, the first limiting block 24 can be guided and limited. By setting the guide block 22 to slide and connect with the guide groove, the second limiting plate 5 can be guided and limited. By setting the insert block 14 to engage with the second slot, the one-way valve 17 can be easily disassembled and installed. By setting the second connecting bracket 16, the one-way valve 17 can be limited. By setting the sealing gasket 11, the sealing performance of the one-way valve 17 can be improved when vacuuming. By setting the guide rod 3, the upper mold 2 can be guided and limited during hot pressing.The guide rod 3 can be disassembled without using the threaded connection, and can also be removed when the tooling is used in the autoclave.
