The frame 1 is divided into a preparation area a and a condensation area b in a horizontal direction, and the frame 1 of the preparation area a is a semi-closed structure with an open upper end, a condensation zone. The frame 1 of b is a closed structure, and the condensation zone b distributes the cooling channels connected to the refrigeration system.

The chain conveyor belt 2 is driven by a servo motor, and a plurality of mechanisms for performing centrifugal operation in a three-dimensional direction are uniformly distributed in the extending direction thereof, and the three-dimensional centrifugal motion mechanism 3 is mounted with a mold quick-clamping device.

As shown in FIG. 2, the three-dimensional centrifugal motion mechanism 3 includes a mount 31, a fixed shaft 32, a drive sleeve 33, a gear box 34, an active bevel gear 35, a driven bevel gear 36, an output shaft 37, a sprocket 38, and a chain 39. .

A pair of mounting seats 31 are mounted on the chain conveyor belt 2, and the mounting seats 31 are connected and fixed by a fixed shaft 32. The gear box 34 is disposed at a middle portion of the fixed shaft 32, and the driving sleeve 33 is set at one end of the fixed shaft 32, and the driving sleeve is provided. The inner end of the tube 33 is fixedly coupled to the side wall of the gear case 34, and the outer end of the drive sleeve 33 is connected to the drive mechanism. The driving mechanism in this embodiment comprises a sprocket 38 and a chain 39 fixed on the condensing zone b frame on both sides of the chain conveyor belt 2. The sprocket 38 is directly or indirectly mounted on the driving sleeve 33, the sprocket 38 and The chain 39 is engaged.
