8. A mold for contact lenses according to claim 7, characterized in that: The driving plate (42) is rotatably connected to a pulley (43).
9. A mold for contact lenses according to claim 1, characterized in that: The second mounting seat (3) is provided with a mounting groove inside; the inner walls on both sides of the mounting groove are provided with second sliding grooves; the upper mold (5) is provided with a second sliding block (44) adapted to the second sliding groove; the second sliding block (44) is slidably connected in the corresponding second sliding groove.
10. A molding process for contact lenses, characterized in that: Utilize the mold for contact lens as described in any one of claims 1-9, comprise the following steps: S1: injecting materials for preparing contact lenses into the arc-shaped groove (6); S2: The second mounting seat (3) is driven to move downward by the lifting mechanism, and the second mounting seat (3) drives the upper mold (5) to move downward until the lower mold (4) and the upper mold (5) are completely molded; S3: starting the thermoelectric cooling sheet (9) to cool the contact lens between the lower mold (4) and the upper mold (5) until the contact lens is solidified and formed; S4: The upper mold (5) is driven upward by the lifting mechanism to separate the lower mold (4) from the upper mold (5), and then the contact lens is removed.
