[0064] Working principle: before injection molding, first put the lower mold 25 into a low temperature constant temperature box, at a low temperature of -5 to -8℃ and negative pressure for 60 minutes. During this process, energize the electromagnet 14, and then enable it to attract the iron block 15. Then, de-energize the electromagnet 18, and then start the electric push rod 13 to drive the placement plate 10 to move downward. Then, adjust the position of the syringe body 12 on the placement plate 10 through the moving component, and drive the syringe body 12 to insert into the sleeve 17 through the electric push rod 13 for blockage detection. If the ejector pin 20 is inserted into the syringe body 12 for a distance and the pressure change detected by the pressure sensor 18 is still within the threshold range, it is not blocked.

After the injection molding is completed, the mold is taken out and put into a low-temperature constant temperature box, and dried and solidified at a low temperature of 25-30 degrees. After the moisture evaporates, since the lower mold 25 is made of resin material, it can be demoulded directly after thermal expansion and contraction, which can improve the demoulding efficiency to a certain extent.
