[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Example 1: A molding die for mass production of carbon fiber products includes a lower die 1, a mandrel 2, and an upper die 3. The lower die 1 is a rectangular plate. The lower die 1 has a threaded hole 11 at each of its four corners. The lower die 1 has a plurality of countersunk grooves 12 arranged inside the rectangle formed by the four threaded holes 11.
[0033] The mandrel 2 is provided with a head cylinder 21 and a countersunk groove 12 is a stepped hole. The height of the head cylinder 21 is less than the height of the large diameter hole of the stepped hole, and the diameter of the head cylinder 21 is less than the large diameter hole of the stepped hole and greater than the small diameter hole of the stepped hole.
[0034] The upper mold 3 is a rectangular plate. The upper mold 3 has through holes 31 at the four corners that correspond to the lower mold 1. The upper mold 3 and the lower mold 1 are fixed together by bolts 32.

[0037] The upper mold has a through hole 31 which is a countersunk hole, and bolt 32 is a countersunk hexagon socket head cap bolt 32.
[0038] After the mandrel 2 is placed into the countersunk groove 12, the distance between the upper surface of the mandrel 2 and the upper surface of the lower mold 1 is the thickness of a carbon fiber sheet 5.
[0039] Working principle:
[0040] The lower mold 1 inserts the mandrel 2 into the countersunk groove 12 from the upper surface. The large-diameter hole of the countersunk groove 12 is on the upper surface of the lower mold 1.

[0042] The release cloth is placed between the carbon fiber prepreg and the top surface of the mandrel 2. The diameter of the release cloth is larger than the diameter of the head cylinder 21, which is equal to the large diameter of the stepped hole. This can be used to prevent the carbon fiber prepreg from flowing into the stepped hole after heating.
[0043] The lower surface of the upper mold 3 is coated with a release agent to facilitate the demolding of the carbon fiber sheet 5.
