[0044] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4In a preferred implementation, the inner wall of the top end of the C-shaped support plate 701 is fixedly connected with the air rod one 702, and the air rod one 702 is installed on the upper mold mounting frame 3. The outer wall of the top end of the upper mold mounting frame 3 is fixedly connected with a plurality of limiting insertion rods 703, and the plurality of limiting insertion rods 703 are movably inserted into the C-shaped support plate 701. The support frame 708 is embedded in the groove one 10, and the outer wall thereof and the outer wall of the lower mold 11 form a complete curved surface which is attached to the inner wall of the Teflon liner. Thus, when demolding, the hook 705 can be inserted into the hanging bracket 706, and then the hook 705 is driven to move upward and is completely connected to the top end inner wall of the hanging bracket 706 under the action of the air rod one 702. After a short period of natural cooling, the Teflon liner is partially shaped, and then the support frame 708 is lifted correspondingly as the upper mold 9 is lifted. The Teflon liner is lifted by the clamping of the upper mold 9 and the support frame 708, and the top end thereof is attached to the inner wall of the upper mold 9, and the bottom end thereof is attached to the outer wall of the support frame 708. At this time, the heat dissipation can be completed by the heat dissipation mechanism 4 acting on the bottom end of the Teflon liner. During the entire heat dissipation process, the inner wall of the Teflon liner can be supported by the upper mold 9 to reduce the deformation probability of the Teflon liner during the heat dissipation process, and the time required for natural cooling can be shortened, the production efficiency of the Teflon liner is optimized, and the side support plate 704 and the C-shaped support plate 701 are connected by a damping hinge.

At the same time, based on the structure, the height of the fan 404 can also be changed by lifting, which is stored at the bottom when not needed for heat dissipation, and does not block the material feeding.
[0048] Working principle: The support frame 708 is embedded in the groove 10, and the outer wall thereof and the outer wall of the lower mold 11 form a complete curved surface, which is fitted to the inner wall of the Teflon liner. Thus, during demolding, the hook 705 can be inserted into the hanger 706, and then the hook 705 is lifted and completely connected to the top inner wall of the hanger 706 under the action of the air rod 702. After a short period of natural cooling, the Teflon liner is partially shaped, and then the support frame 708 is lifted as the upper mold 9 is lifted. The Teflon liner is lifted by the clamping of the upper mold 9 and the support frame 708, and the top end thereof is fitted to the inner wall of the upper mold 9, and the bottom end thereof is fitted to the outer wall of the support frame 708. At this time, the heat dissipation mechanism 4 acts on the bottom of the Teflon liner to complete the heat dissipation.
