[0023] When silicone needs to be extruded, the silicone raw material is placed into the lower mold 6, and then the cylinder 4 drives the sliding plate to move downward to extrude the lower mold 6. After molding, the sliding block 3 is moved upward to move the upper mold 5 away from the lower mold 6. Then, the coolant in the water tank 8 is pumped into the hollow part of the lower mold 6 by the water pump 9, so that the heat emitted by the silicone can be absorbed by the coolant. Under the action of the first fan 7, the heat of the silicone can be further dispersed, the temperature of the silicone can be reduced, and the demolding process of the silicone can be facilitated.
