AI Technical Summary
In existing waterbird shell molding equipment, it is difficult to vent air when the mold is placed horizontally, resulting in poor product quality and uneven density.
The mold is placed vertically and fixed with positioning clamps and pressing components. The mold is squeezed by an arc-shaped pressure plate driven by a cylinder, and the resin is heated and cured by an electric heating rod. A temperature detector and controller are used to achieve constant temperature and heat preservation, ensuring good exhaust effect.
This improved the product quality of the waterbird shell, ensured density uniformity and venting effect, and enhanced the molding effect of the molding equipment.
