Molding apparatus and molding method

Abstract

The application discloses a forming device and a forming method. The forming device comprises a first cover plate, a core barrel, a plurality of male die blocks, a plurality of female die blocks and a second cover plate. The first cover plate, the second cover plate, the plurality of male die blocks and the plurality of female die blocks are assembled to form the forming device. Since the barrel diameter of the core barrel gradually increases in the direction away from the first cover plate, and the thickness of the male die blocks gradually decreases in the direction away from the first cover plate, at least one male die block can be disassembled, and the position of the disassembled male die block provides a buffer space for the reinforcing fibers. In this way, the reinforcing fibers are smoothly and conveniently sleeved on the periphery of the plurality of male die blocks, and then the thin end of the disassembled male die block is inserted into the buffer space. The taper of the core barrel is used to gradually pressurize the male die blocks on the reinforcing fibers until the disassembled male die block is fixed in place to make the reinforcing fibers adhere to the male die, thereby preventing the reinforcing fibers from being torn and damaged, and improving the quality of the formed product.
