[0048] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 4 The figure shows the top view structure cutaway view of the air inlet carrier block 20 in the present application.

[0049] The air inlet pipe 41 is fixedly inserted on the outer side wall of the bottom box body 11, one end of the air inlet pipe 41 is communicated with the hot air output outside, and the other end of the air inlet pipe 41 is communicated with the shunt channel 44.

[0050] As shown in Figure 3 ,Figure 3 Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the positioning mechanism 50 in the present application.

[0051] The air inlet mechanism 40 further comprises an air outlet pipe 42, which is connected to the top of the box cover 12. By arranging the air outlet pipe 42, the hot air inside the bottom box body 11 can be easily discharged, and the moisture mixed in the hot air can be taken away in the process of discharge, so that the drying effect is better.

In the positioning assembly, the positioning groove 54 is matched with the protruding part at the bottom of the aluminum piston, so that the aluminum piston can be conveniently placed on the carrier disc 51 for preliminary positioning. Before placing the aluminum piston, the two plug-in rods 56 are pulled away from each other, then the aluminum piston is placed on the carrier disc 51, and then the plug-in rods 56 are released. Under the action of the rebound force of the spring 57, the plug blocks 58 are inserted into the oil return holes of the aluminum piston, which not only blocks the oil return holes of the aluminum piston to ensure the relative sealing of the inner cavity of the aluminum piston, but also discharges the hot air in the inner cavity of the aluminum piston from the air outlet channel 45. At the same time, the plug blocks 58 inserted into the oil return holes of the aluminum piston also play a role in assisting in positioning the aluminum piston, so as to ensure the structural stability of the aluminum piston during drying and subsequent rotation.
