[0024] Among them, the upper demolding part includes an annular mounting plate 6 arranged on the inner wall of the placement groove, the inner wall of the mounting plate 6 is in close contact with the side wall of the placement plate 5, and a plurality of first electric push rods 7 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the top plate 3. The movable ends of the plurality of first electric push rods 7 extend to the bottom of the top plate 3 and are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 6.

[0025] The first electric push rod 7 drives the mounting plate 6 to move vertically, so that the material can be separated from the side wall.

[0026] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, the lower demolding part includes a plurality of second electric push rods 8 fixedly mounted on the inner bottom wall of the workbench 4, and a positioning plate 9 is fixedly mounted on the movable ends of the plurality of second electric push rods 8. A plurality of connecting rods 10 are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the positioning plate 9. The other ends of the plurality of connecting rods 10 extend to the interior of the fixed groove and are fixedly mounted with a push plate 11. The size of the push plate 11 is the same as that of the fixed groove and the push plate 11 is located inside the mounting plate 6.

[0027] Secondly, the interior of the mounting plate 6 is a hollow structure and an electromagnetic heater 13 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall. A groove is provided on the upper surface of the push plate 11 and a temperature sensor 14 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the groove. By providing the electromagnetic heater 13, the temperature inside the placement tank can be quickly heated up, thereby improving work efficiency. By providing the temperature sensor 14, it is convenient to monitor the temperature inside the placement tank in real time.

[0028] Among them, the inner walls on both sides of the workbench 4 are provided with slide grooves, and the surfaces on both sides of the positioning plate 9 are fixed with sliders 12 extending into the corresponding slide grooves and slidably connected with the inner walls of the slide grooves, and the top of the workbench 4 is provided with a plurality of air holes extending to the top of the workbench 4. Through the cooperation between the slide grooves and the sliders 12, the sliders 12 limit the positioning plate 9, so that the positioning plate 9 can move vertically stably.

[0029] It should be noted that the electromagnetic heater 13 and the temperature sensor 14 are both existing technologies, and their specific structures and working principles are not described in detail herein.

[0030] The second electric push rod 8 drives the positioning plate 9 to move upward, so that the positioning plate 9 drives the push plate 11 to move upward through the connecting rod 10, so that the push plate 11 can push the material out of the placement groove, thereby facilitating the staff to take out the material.

At this time, the electromagnetic heater 13 is controlled to start heating, so that the mixture is solidified. When the mixture is completely solidified, the staff injects water into the extrusion plate 16 through the water inlet pipe 17, so that the extrusion plate 16 properly cools the mixture to avoid overheating of the mixture. When the mixture is completely solidified and cooled, the hydraulic cylinder 15 drives the extrusion plate 16 to move upward, so that the extrusion plate 16 no longer limits the top of the mixture. The first electric push rod 7 drives the mounting plate 6 to move upward, so that the mixture is separated from the inner wall of the mounting plate 6. At this time, the second electric push rod 8 drives the positioning plate 9 to move upward, so that the positioning plate 9 drives the push plate 11 to move upward through the connecting rod 10, so that the push plate 11 can push the material out of the placement groove, so that the staff can take out the material without the help of tools.
