[0022] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1-5As shown, a clay model making toy machine includes a base 1. A connecting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top surface of the base 1. Connecting rods 3 are movably sleeved on both the left and right sides of the top of the connecting frame 2. A connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of the two connecting rods 3. An upper pressure plate 5 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the connecting plate 4. First connecting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the top surface of the upper pressure plate 5. Movable holes 7 are opened on both the left and right sides of the connecting plate 4. The upper ends of the two first connecting blocks 6 are movably sleeved in adjacent movable holes 7 and extend to the top of the connecting plate 4. The opposing surfaces and near the top are provided with insertion holes 8. A fixing component 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the connecting plate 4. A support base 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top surface of the base 1. The lower mold 11 is placed on the top surface of the support base 10. Four slots 12 are provided on the top of the support base 10. Four second connecting blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the lower mold 11. The four slots 12 and the second connecting blocks 13 are arranged in a rectangular array. Each second connecting block 13 is inserted into the adjacent slot 12. The shape of the upper pressure plate 5 is the same as the shape of the cavity inside the lower mold 11.

[0023] To facilitate the fixing and disassembly of the first connecting block 6 on the connecting plate 4, the fixing assembly 9 includes a connecting box 91, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the connecting plate 4. Movable blocks 92 are movably sleeved on both the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the connecting box 91. Insert rods 93 are fixedly connected to the middle of the disengaging surfaces of the two movable blocks 92. The disengaging ends of the two insert rods 93 are movably sleeved on the left and right sides of the connecting box 91 and extend to the outside. The disengaging ends of the two insert rods 93 are inserted into adjacent insertion holes 8. Movable openings 94 are provided on both the left and right sides of the front side of the connecting box 91. Push rods 95 are fixedly connected to the middle of the front side of the movable blocks 92. The rear end of the push rods 95 is slidably connected in the movable openings 94, and the front end of the push rods 95 extends to the outside of the front side of the connecting box 91.

[0024] To facilitate the automatic reset of the insertion rod 93 into the insertion hole 8, a fixing block 96 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the connecting box 91. A first spring 97 is fixedly connected to the facing surfaces of the two movable blocks 92, and the facing ends of the two first springs 97 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the fixing block 96 respectively.

[0025] In order to freeze the lower mold 11 and shorten the time required for the clay to harden, a connecting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the support base 10. The bottom of the lower mold 11 is movably fitted into the connecting frame 14. A groove is provided on the left side of the front side of the connecting frame 14. An observation glass 15 is fixedly connected in the groove. A scale mark 16 is engraved on the front side of the observation glass 15.

[0026] To facilitate the drainage of ice water from the connecting frame 14, a drain pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the connecting frame 14, and a valve 18 is installed on the drain pipe 17.

[0027] In order to enable the upper pressure plate 5 to automatically rise and reset and be pulled out from the lower mold 11, the top surfaces of the two connecting rods 3 are movably sleeved with the push plate 19. The upper end of the surface of each connecting rod 3 is sleeved with a second spring 20. One end of the second spring 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the push plate 19, and the other end of the second spring 20 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the connecting frame 2.

[0028] In order to quickly align the insertion hole 8 with the insertion rod 93 when installing the upper pressure plate 5, a positioning block 21 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the upper pressure plate 5, and the top surface of the positioning block 21 is in contact with the bottom surface of the connecting plate 4.

[0029] Working principle: When using this utility model, firstly, place the colored clay into the lower mold 11, then press down on the push plate 19 to lower the connecting rod 3. The connecting rod 3 drives the connecting plate 4 to lower, and the connecting plate 4 drives the upper pressure plate 5 to lower, so that the upper pressure plate 5 enters the lower mold 11 and extrudes the colored clay into shape. When different shapes of colored clay need to be made, first pull the lower mold 11 upward to remove it. Place the other lower molds 11 on the top surface of the support base 10, and insert the second connecting block 13 into the slot 12 to complete the replacement of the lower mold 11. Move the two push rods 95 in opposite directions. The push rods 95 drive the movable block 92 to move, and the movable block 92 drives the insertion rod 93 to move, so that the insertion rod 93 is pulled out from the insertion hole 8, thereby releasing the fixation of the first connecting block 6. At this time, the upper pressure plate 5 will fall downward and be removed from the connecting plate 4. Then, place the new upper pressure plate 5 at the bottom of the connecting plate 4, and insert the two first connecting blocks 6 respectively. Insert the upper pressure plate 5 into the two movable holes 7 until the top surface of the positioning block 21 is in contact with the bottom surface of the connecting plate 4. At this time, release the push rod 95, and the first spring 97 will push the movable block 92 to move. The movable block 92 pushes the insertion rod 93 to move, so that the insertion rod 93 is inserted into the insertion hole 8, and the first connecting block 6 is fixed. The installation of the upper pressure plate 5 on the connecting plate 4 is completed. In this way, the upper pressure plate 5 and the lower mold 11 can be replaced. Disassembly and installation are relatively simple and do not require tools, which reduces safety hazards and is suitable for young children. Before installing the lower mold 11, ice water can be poured into the connecting frame 14 from the top. The amount of ice water can be checked by looking at the observation glass 15 and the scale mark 16 to prevent excessive water from overflowing. The ice water in the connecting frame 14 can reduce the temperature of the lower mold 11, thereby increasing the time required for the clay to harden after molding, so that the clay can be removed from the lower mold 11 more quickly.

[0030] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0031] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
