During actual assembly operations, when the entire mold is flipped to the lower side of the transmission chain, the elastic pressing column 33 can be pressed downward by the pressing device, so that the two side forming templates 2 are impacted and thrown open to both sides for discharging. Then, the two side forming templates 2 will close downward. The front and rear ends of the two side forming templates 2 can be supported by an externally inclined support plate to prevent them from closing downward.
