The entire device is intermittently moving, but the operation and supply of the substrate layer is continuous, and the supply speed of the substrate layer does not match the operation speed of the entire device. Therefore, after the substrate layer material cache unit is set, it can be ensured that the substrate layer can be supplied all the time. The substrate layer material cache unit 22 includes a paper guide roller 221 with a layer of silicone about 5 mm thick coated on the surface, a first servo motor 222, and a paper guide roller 223 driven by the first servo motor 222. The paper guide roller 223 is pressed against the paper guide roller 223 driven by the first servo motor 222 under the action of cylinder pressure, and moves relative to each other. The substrate layer 13 is supplied to the corresponding station at a given speed under the action of pressure and relative movement.

[0027] The wrapping layer output unit 23 is used to continuously output the wrapping layer to the wrapping layer pre-pressing forming unit 24. It is achieved under the action of the motion traction force of the pressing roller and other mechanisms.

In this embodiment, the annular guide rail unit 28 includes a plurality of chain links 282 (52 in this embodiment) connected in series and driven by a second servo motor 281. Each chain link 282 is equipped with a mold 283 for forming a groove of the wrapping layer. The mold 283 is provided with a concave hole 284 corresponding to the groove 111. Considering the spatial position, the mold is divided into mold A ( Figure 7 Marked as A), mold B ( Figure 7 There are two types of molds, marked as B), with a length, width and height of 80*50*12mm, and 5 recessed holes 284 on each mold. A first ventilation hole 285 with negative pressure suction is provided on the side of each mold, and each recessed hole 284 is connected to the first ventilation hole 285, so that the package layer 11 is tightly attached to the upper surface of the mold under the action of negative pressure suction.
