Detailed Implementation
[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0017] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0020] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0021] The terms "parallel" and "perpendicular" do not mean that the components must be absolutely parallel or perpendicular, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "parallel" simply means that its direction is more parallel than "perpendicular," not that the structure must be completely parallel, but that it can be slightly tilted.
[0022] The terms "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" do not imply that a component must be absolutely horizontal, vertical, or sagging, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," not that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0023] Furthermore, terms like "roughly" and "basically" are used to indicate that the content does not require absolute precision, but rather allows for a certain degree of deviation. For example, "roughly equal" does not simply mean absolute equality; in actual production and operation, achieving absolute "equality" is difficult, and a certain degree of deviation is generally present. Therefore, besides absolute equality, "roughly equal to" also includes the aforementioned situation where a certain degree of deviation exists. Using this as an example, in other cases, unless otherwise specified, terms like "roughly" and "basically" have similar meanings.
[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] Preferably, the support plate is provided with guide posts 71, and the base plate 6 is provided with guide holes that cooperate with the guide posts 71. The guide posts 71 not only serve a guiding function, but also ensure that there is no misalignment when the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 22 are connected during molding, which can effectively protect the mold, reduce mold damage, and increase its service life.
[0027] Preferably, the guide hole is provided with an annular groove, and a ball bearing is provided in the annular groove. The ball bearing cooperates with the guide post 71. This avoids friction between the guide post 71 and the guide hole, which would cause wear, and the ball bearing also makes the sliding smoother.
[0028] Preferably, the machine base 1 has a closed door 15 on its side wall, and a tool rack is provided inside the machine base 1 corresponding to the closed door 15. The tool rack facilitates the placement of maintenance tools, making it easier to retrieve and place tools for maintenance or mold replacement, while also keeping the area around the equipment clean and improving the working environment.
[0029] Preferably, a height adjustment mechanism 14 is provided between the cylinder body of the push cylinder 9 and the machine base 1. The height is adjustable, which allows the push cylinder 9 to adapt to more types of molds.
[0030] Preferably, the height adjustment mechanism 14 includes a connecting block and an adjusting screw that is mounted on the connecting block and can rotate freely. The base 1 has a threaded hole that mates with the adjusting screw. When changing molds, the height of the push cylinder 9 can be adjusted for different molds to achieve the desired operation.
[0031] Preferably, the koji block slide 12 is equipped with a movable cover 13. This cover acts as a barrier, effectively preventing the koji from flying off the slide 12 and falling to the ground when the pushing force of the pushing cylinder 9 is too great, and also reducing the loss of koji material. Because fallen koji is easily contaminated with other fungi, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and therefore fallen koji cannot be used.
