[0002] The large diameter carbon fiber heat preservation cylinder refers to the carbon fiber heat preservation cylinder whose diameter exceeds certain size (usually 800mm above), which is widely used in military, national defense, solar energy, semiconductor, optical fiber, heat treatment and other fields as the heat preservation material of equipment. Compared with the carbon fiber heat preservation cylinder of conventional size (usually 600mm below), the large diameter carbon fiber heat preservation cylinder has some technical problems in the vacuum forming process.

[0003] At present, the forming device for the carbon fiber heat preservation cylinder of conventional size usually comprises a forming pool, a forming die, a forming trolley, a vacuum tank and a water ring vacuum pump (such as the "vacuum suction forming device for manufacturing composite carbon fiber heat preservation cylinder" disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent with the authorization announcement number CN 206598435 U); the forming die is immersed in the carbon fiber mixed slurry stored in the forming pool; the forming die is composed of an inner die, an outer die and an end plate, a suction pipe arranged coaxially, the inner die and the outer die are both cylindrical dies, the two ends of the inner die and the outer die are respectively attached to the upper end plate and the lower end plate to form a vacuum forming chamber, and the size and shape of the vacuum forming chamber are matched with the composite carbon fiber heat preservation cylinder; the suction pipe is arranged along the center of the inner die, and the suction pipe is provided with suction holes; one end of the suction pipe is connected to the vacuum tank, and the vacuum tank is further connected to the water ring vacuum pump.
