[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a method for installing a molded hoist is described. This method uses the following device to install the molded hoist, such as... Figures 1-2 As shown, the device includes an upper clamp 1, a lower clamp 2, an upper handle 3, and a lower handle 4. The upper handle 3 and the lower handle 4 are hinged together by a pivot 5. The front end of the upper handle 3 is connected to the lower clamp 2, and the front end of the lower handle 4 is connected to the upper clamp 1. When the upper handle 3 and the lower handle 4 are held, the upper handle 3 and the lower handle 4 are rotated away by the pivot 5, which drives the upper clamp 1 and the lower clamp 2 to move closer together, pressing the inner mold 9 of the gourd mold into the outer mold 10.

[0028] Specifically, two fine-tuning knobs 6 are installed on the upper chuck 1, spaced apart. A locking element 7 is installed on the rotation shaft 5 of each fine-tuning knob 6 to lock it in place. The upper chuck 1 includes an upper horizontal plate 1.1 and an upper vertical plate 1.2, which are connected at a right angle. The lower chuck 2 includes a lower horizontal plate 2.1 and a lower vertical plate 2.2, which are connected at a right angle. The fine-tuning knobs 6 are installed on the upper horizontal plate 1.1. The final installation position is determined by rotating the fine-tuning knobs 6. The handle drives the upper and lower chucks to shape the hoist. The inner mold 9 of the mold is pressed downwards and inserted into the outer mold 10 of the gourd mold. A semi-circular notch 12 is made on the upper horizontal plate 1.1 to avoid the position of the gourd 11 that is exposed outside the gourd mold. Two fine adjustment knobs 6 are set on both sides of the semi-circular notch 12. Two limit keys 8 are set on the lower horizontal plate 2.1. The two limit keys 8 are spaced apart and are used to lock the left and right sides of the outer mold 10 of the gourd mold. When the lower edge of the upper vertical plate 1.2 and the upper edge of the lower vertical plate 2.2 come into contact, the inner mold 9 of the gourd mold is completely pressed into its outer mold 10.

[0029] Specifically, the fine-tuning knob 6 is a screw, and the locking component 7 is a nut. The screw is rotatably mounted on the upper horizontal plate 1.1, and the nut is mounted on the screw. Rotating the screw can better adjust the position of the inner mold pressing into the outer mold. After determining the position, the screw is locked with the nut. The upper and lower handles drive the upper and lower clamps to apply pressure to the inner mold 9 of the molding hoist, so that it is better pressed into the lower mold.

[0030] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the mold for making the gourd includes an inner mold 9 and an outer mold 10. The outer mold 10 is fitted onto the inner mold 9. The inner mold includes a first inner mold 9.1, a second inner mold 9.2, and a bottom mold 12. The bottom mold 12 is installed at the bottom inside the first inner mold 9.1 and the second inner mold 9.2. The first inner mold 9.1 and the second inner mold 9.2 are connected to each other, forming a cavity between them for holding the gourd 11. The bottom mold 12 is located inside the cavity.

[0031] The first inner mold 9.1, the second inner mold 9.2, the bottom mold 12, and the outer mold 10 are all made of transparent plastic.

[0032] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the method for installing the molded gourd mold of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0033] Step 1: Insert the bottom mold 12 of the gourd molding mold into the first inner mold 9.1, place the selected gourd 11 on the bottom mold 12, align the second inner mold 9.2 with the first inner mold 9.1 tightly, and initially fit the outer mold 10 of the gourd molding mold onto the inner mold 9.

[0034] Step 2: Place the pre-installed molded gourd mold on the lower clamp 2 of the mold clamping device. The outer mold 10 is engaged between the two limit keys 8. After rotating the rotary fine-tuning knob 6 to install the inner mold 9 into the appropriate position of the outer mold 10, press down the upper handle 3 with one hand and lift the lower handle 4 with the other hand. The upper clamp 1 and the lower clamp 2 move closer together. The lower clamp 2 presses the outer mold 10 upward, while the upper clamp 1 presses the inner mold 9 downward, pressing the inner mold 9 into the outer mold 10 as a whole.

[0035] Step 3: Rotate the fine-tuning knob 6 upwards so that it is away from the inner mold 9. Adjust the locking part 7 to fasten the fine-tuning knob 6 to the upper clamp 1. Hold the upper clamp 1 and the lower clamp 2, and move the upper clamp 1 and the lower clamp 2 away from each other. Remove the molded gourd mold from the lower clamp 2. Tie the rope to the hanging ear of the molded gourd mold to fix the molded gourd mold on the gourd frame.

[0036] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” are used in the embodiments to describe the relationship of one element or feature shown in the figures relative to another element or feature. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, spatial terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, an element described as being “down” of other elements or features would be positioned “up” of those other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “down” can encompass both up and down orientations. The device may be positioned in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0037] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are used merely to distinguish one component from another that has the same name, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between the components.

[0038] The present invention has been described above by way of example. It should be noted that any simple modifications, alterations or other equivalent substitutions that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative effort without departing from the core of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
