The hydraulic cylinder 11 is located on the upper surface of the crossbeam 4. A connecting sleeve 15 is provided on the upper surface of the pressure plate 12. Several reinforcing plates 17 are provided at the connection between the connecting sleeve 15 and the pressure plate 12 to ensure the structural strength between the connecting sleeve 15 and the pressure plate 12.

A central pressure rod 13 is provided at the center of the lower surface of the pressure plate 12.

[0026] Installation method and operating principle: First, install the thrust bearing 6 on the lifting seat 5. Then, pass the connecting rod 10 of the tray 7 through the thrust bearing 6 and the lifting seat 5, and support the tray 7 on the thrust bearing 6. At the same time, the outer perimeter plate 9 of the tray 7 surrounds the upper perimeter of the thrust bearing 6 and the lifting seat 5.

During processing, the tray 7 is rotated by the reduction motor 8, which in turn rotates the mold steel, thus enabling the processing of various sides of the mold steel. This utility model has a reasonable structure. The pressing component uses a central pressure rod 13 and multiple auxiliary pressure rods 14 surrounding the central pressure rod 13 to press the upper surface of the mold steel. Compared with the traditional single-rod pressing structure, this pressing structure greatly improves the stability of the mold steel.
