An inner ring fixing mold 2 is welded at the center of the upper surface of the chassis 1. An inner mold groove 3 is formed on the outer wall surface of the inner ring fixing mold 2. An arc-shaped clamp 7 is movably provided on the outer side of the inner mold groove 3. A movable mold 8 is integrally formed on the inner ring surface of the arc-shaped clamp 7. After the arc-shaped clamp 7 moves, the movable mold 8 is inserted into the inner mold groove 3.

[0027] The chassis 1 has a movable groove 4 on its surface, a movable seat 5 is slidably provided in the inner cavity of the movable groove 4, a drive screw 6 is threaded through the inner cavity of the movable seat 5, and the arc-shaped clamp 7 is fixed on the surface of the movable seat 5.

[0028] The upper surface of the inner ring fixing mold 2 is movably provided with an upper pressure cover 9.

[0029] It should be noted that the carbon fiber cloth is laid in the inner mold groove 3. By rotating the drive screw 6, the drive screw 6 pushes the moving seat 5 to move in the moving groove 4 under the action of the surface thread. The moving seat 5 can drive the arc-shaped clamp 7 to move, and the movable mold 8 will be inserted into the inner mold groove 3. A pre-formed cavity is formed between the movable mold 8 and the inner mold groove 3. The carbon fiber cloth is clamped in the pre-formed cavity. Reverse the drive screw 6, and the drive screw 6 drives the movable mold 8 to move under the action of the surface thread, so that the movable mold 8 is separated from the inner mold groove 3, which can realize the rapid demolding of the carbon fiber wheel.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the movable molds 8 are distributed at equal intervals and are connected end to end to form a circular structure. A pre-formed cavity is formed between the movable molds 8 and the inner mold groove 3, and carbon fiber cloth is laid in the pre-formed cavity.

[0031] It should be noted that the carbon fiber cloth can be pre-shaped inside the pre-forming cavity.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, a rotating swing arm 12 is welded to the side wall of the upper pressure cover 9, and a fixed seat 11 is welded to the surface of the chassis 1. The rotating swing arm 12 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 11.

[0033] It should be noted that the rotating arm 12 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 11, which enables the upper pressure cover 9 to be closed and opened.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, a gearbox 13 is installed on the side wall of the fixed base 11, and a drive motor 14 is installed on the top surface of the gearbox 13. A drive worm gear 16 is rotatably provided in the inner cavity of the gearbox 13. The drive worm gear 16 is connected to the end of the connecting shaft of the rotating arm 12 and the fixed base 11. The power output end of the drive motor 14 is driven by a drive worm 15, and the drive worm 15 is driven by the drive worm gear 16.

[0035] It should be noted that the drive motor 14 is controlled to rotate in both directions by the forward and reverse switch. The drive motor 14 drives the drive worm gear 15 in the gearbox 13. The drive worm gear 15 drives the upper cover 9 to open and close through the drive worm wheel 16, making the opening and closing operation of the upper cover 9 easier. At the same time, the worm wheel and worm gear are self-locking, and the opening angle of the upper cover 9 can be adjusted at will.

By rotating the drive screw 6, the drive screw 6 pushes the moving seat 5 to move in the moving groove 4 under the action of the surface thread. The moving seat 5 can drive the arc-shaped clamp 7 to move. The movable mold 8 is inserted into the inner mold groove 3, and a pre-forming cavity is formed between the movable mold 8 and the inner mold groove 3. The carbon fiber cloth is clamped in the pre-forming cavity. The upper pressure cover 9 is pressed on the top of the pre-forming cavity to seal the top of the pre-forming cavity. The heating plate 10 heats and shapes the carbon fiber cloth. After the carbon fiber wheel is shaped, the drive motor 14 is controlled by the forward and reverse switch to continue... In both forward and reverse rotation, the drive motor 14 drives the drive worm gear 15 in the gearbox 13. The drive worm gear 15 drives the upper pressure cover 9 to open and close via the drive worm wheel 16, making the opening and closing of the upper pressure cover 9 easier. At the same time, the worm wheel and worm gear are self-locking, allowing the opening angle of the upper pressure cover 9 to be adjusted at will. It also improves the sealing effect of the upper pressure cover 9 on the pre-molded cavity after closing. In reverse rotation, the drive screw 6 drives the movable mold 8 to move under the action of the surface thread, so that the movable mold 8 separates from the inner mold groove 3, which can realize the rapid demolding of carbon fiber wheel rims.
