Each connecting rod group includes four parallel connecting rods 5 that are arranged in groups of two and symmetrically distributed up and down. The four connecting rods 5 of each connecting rod group are connected to a control block 6 in the middle of the common transmission. The control blocks 6 at adjacent positions are connected with a contraction spring 7. The front and rear control blocks 6 are close to each other. A top wheel 8 is rotatably installed at one end of the mounting seat 2, an arc block 9 fixedly connected to the base 1 is installed on the right side of the mounting seat 2, the arc block 9 matches the top wheel 8 and the upper and lower ends thereof are processed into front-to-back symmetrical inclined surfaces 10, an injection hole 11 is opened in the middle of the front mold 3, an electric telescopic rod 12 is horizontally fixed on the upper side of the base 1, an injection nozzle 13 is fixed on the rear side of the output end of the electric telescopic rod 12, and a feed port 14 is opened on the upper side of the injection nozzle 13, a limit assembly for controlling the position of the front mold 3 and the rear mold 4 is installed on the left side of the base 1, and a transmission assembly for controlling its rotation is installed on the rear side of the mounting seat 2.
