The bottom of the limit kit 401 is inserted into the annular opening at the top of the forming drum body 3, and the air inside the forming drum body 3 is extracted by the vacuum pump, so that the heat inside the heat cycle barrel 4 is transferred to the semi-finished rubber airbag along with the air, and then enters the inside of the forming drum body 3 along the gap at the bottom of the bottom frame 304 with the flowing air;

[0064] After the vacuum pump is connected to the return air pipe 402 by flange, part of the high-temperature hot air is transported through the return air pipe 402 and flows along the inner wall of the heat circulation barrel 4, and finally ejected into the outer area of ​​the bottom area of ​​the heat circulation barrel 4.

[0065] The part of low-temperature gas initially retained in the return air pipe 402 is guided and injected into the heat-resistant expansion airbag under the control of the regulating valve, thereby pushing the heat-resistant expansion frame 404 to expand, causing the high-temperature airflow to flow along its vicinity, thereby causing the high-temperature airflow to enter the waist thin area of ​​the forming drum body 3.

[0066] Combining the first and second embodiments, it can be seen that the automated components can work together to achieve accurate loading, laying and compaction of the rubber curtain, the film and the wire ring, significantly improving the production efficiency and product quality, and simplifying the wire ring installation steps by using the electromagnet 105, the lifting ring 102 and other designs, while the adaptability of the bottom frame 304 and the ring frame ensures the stability of the forming drum body 3 during rotation;
