The bottom lifting component 2 is arranged at the lower part of the outer frame 1. The lateral heating and pressing component 3 is arranged on both width sides of the outer frame 1 and at the working height. The feeding guiding component 4 is arranged on both width sides of the outer frame 1 and at the working height. The top heating component 5 is located at the upper part of the outer frame 1. The blocking component 6 is located at the feeding port position of the tooling for blocking the module from moving outwards.

[0028] The double - module is clamped on the upper plate surface of the tray, and the tray is pushed in the length direction into the outer frame 1. The module is lifted to the working height of the lateral heating and pressing component 3 by the bottom lifting component 2 to complete the lateral heating and pressing operation of the module. On the premise of setting the feeding guiding component 4, top heating component 5, and blocking component 6, during the process of the module being pushed into the outer frame 1, the tray reaches the specified position through the position guiding of the feeding guiding components 4 on both sides. While performing the lateral heating and pressing, the liquid - cooling plate can also be adhered to the lower plate surface of the double - module by the top heating component 5.

The lifting wheel 26 is located within the lifting wheel mounting seat 212 and is installed through a lifting wheel shaft.

The second cylinder 35 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 1 through a cylinder mounting plate. The piston rod of the second cylinder 35 is connected to the vertical base plate 32. The heat insulation plate 36, the heating sheet 37, the heat conducting plate 38, and the heat conducting silicone 39 are sequentially arranged inside the vertical base plate 32. The thermocouple is installed in the heat conducting plate 38 to monitor the temperature of the heat conducting plate 38 in real time.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, referring to Figure 3 , the top heating assembly 5 includes a top substrate, a top heat insulation plate, a top heating sheet, a top heat conducting plate, top heat conducting silicone, and a thermocouple. The top substrate is fixedly connected to the outer frame 1 through connecting columns. The top heat insulation plate, the top heating sheet, the top heat conducting plate, and the top heat conducting silicone are sequentially arranged on the lower plate surface of the top substrate. The thermocouple is installed in the top heat conducting plate for real-time temperature monitoring.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, the blocking assembly 6 includes a blocking cylinder 61, a guide seat 62, and a blocking rod 63. The blocking cylinder 61 is installed on the upper plate surface of the bottom plate 21 through a cylinder mounting seat.

The blocking rod 63 passes through the guide hole of the guide seat 62 and is connected to the piston shaft of the blocking cylinder 61 through a connecting block.

[0035] Specific Embodiment Case 2:

[0036] Based on Specific Embodiment Case 1, the double - module heating and pressing tooling further includes a feeding guiding assembly 4. As Figure 1 shown, the feeding guiding assembly 4 includes a guiding substrate 41, a guiding plate 42, a connecting block 43, and a cam follower 44. The guiding substrate 41 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 1 through the connecting block 43. The guiding plate 42 is installed on the inner plate surface of the guiding substrate 41. The cam follower 44 is installed on the guiding substrate 41. The guiding plate 42 is located above the cam follower 44. The tray enters the interior of the outer frame 1 under the preliminary guiding action of the guiding plate 42 and moves along the cam follower 44 during the translation and pushing process.

[0037] Specific Embodiment Case 3:

[0038] Based on Specific Embodiment Case 1 or 2, the double - module heating and pressing tooling further includes one or more of the following preferred solutions:

[0039] Optionally, as Figure 2As shown, the bottom lifting assembly 2 further includes one or more of a buffer 29, a moving plate stopper 210, and a slider stopper 211. The buffer 29 is installed at one or both ends of the bottom plate 21 through a buffer mounting seat, and the impact force of the horizontal moving plate 25 is absorbed by the buffer 29. The moving plate stopper 210 is fixed on the upper plate surface of the bottom plate 21 and is located outside the slide rail of the first slide rail slider 23. Correspondingly, an inward concave limiting structure 251 is machined on the edge of the horizontal moving plate 25. During the horizontal forward and backward movement of the horizontal moving plate 25, the moving plate stopper 210 is wholly or partially located in the inward concave limiting structure 251, and the moving position of the horizontal moving plate 25 is restricted by the horizontal moving plate 25. The slider stoppers 211 are arranged at both ends of the slide rail in the first slide rail slider 23 to limit the translation range of the slider.

[0040] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, one or more of a round pin 271, a diamond pin 272, and a wear-resistant pad 273 are installed on the upper plate surface of the lifting plate 27. Correspondingly, a round pin hole or / and a diamond pin hole are arranged at the corresponding position of the tray. The tray improves the positioning accuracy before installation through the cooperation of the round pin 271 and the round pin hole or / and the cooperation of the diamond pin 272 and the diamond pin hole. The setting of the wear-resistant pad 273 can prevent the bottom of the tray from directly contacting the lifting plate 27 and extend the service life.

[0041] As Figure 3 shown, a spacer structure 310 is arranged on the outer side of the length section of the fixing screw in the vertical substrate 32 to prevent the heat in the heat conducting plate 38 from being transmitted to the vertical substrate 32 through the screw. The spacer structure 310 is embedded in the vertical substrate 32, and a gasket is arranged between the end of the screw and the end of the spacer structure 310 to prevent the screw from pressing and damaging the spacer structure 310. Further, the fixing screw in the top heating assembly 5 is provided with a spacer structure at the length section of the top substrate to prevent the heat of the top heat conducting plate from being introduced into the top substrate through the screw.

[0042] Optionally, for the double - assembled module heating and pressing tooling, the piston rod of the first cylinder 28 is connected to the horizontal moving plate through a floating joint. Further, the piston rod of the second cylinder 35 is connected to the vertical substrate 32 through a floating joint.
