A gear assembly 9 is provided below the outer surface of the transmission vertical rod 12. The gear assembly 9 includes a gear 91, which is fixedly installed below the outer surface of the transmission vertical rod 12. Bearings 10 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the gear 91. Multiple evenly distributed support rods are fixedly connected to the top of the inner side wall of the upper bearing 10. A transmission rod tube ring 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod. The transmission rod tube ring 11 is fixedly installed with plate B. A transmission component is provided on the outer surface of the gear 91. The outer surface of the mold core 1 is provided with a one-color slider 2, a two-color slider 3, and a three-color slider 4. The one-color slider 2, the two-color slider 3, and the three-color slider 4 are all slidably connected to the B plate. The one-color slider 2 corresponds to a one-color product 5, the two-color slider 3 corresponds to a two-color product 6, and the three-color slider 4 corresponds to a three-color product 7. The mold core 1 has three evenly distributed inclined surfaces on its side, and the inclined surfaces are precisely fitted with plate B. When working, the transmission vertical rod 12 is connected with the center of the mold core 1 to drive the rotation of the mold core 1, and the transmission rod tube position ring 11 and the bearing one 10 are respectively installed on the B plate and the transmission vertical rod 12 to ensure the accuracy required by the normal rotation and movement of the transmission vertical rod 12, then the gear one 91 can be driven to rotate through the rotating assembly, and the gear one 91 drives the transmission vertical rod 12 to rotate after rotating, and the mold core 1 is rotated, since the bearing one 10 is connected with the transmission rod tube position ring 11 through the support rod, the support rod and the transmission rod tube position ring 11 will not rotate after the gear one 91 drives the transmission vertical rod 12 to rotate, and the B plate will not rotate, the one-color slider 2, the two-color slider 3 and the three-color slider 4 move on the B plate and will not rotate with the mold core 1, so the one-color slider 2, the two-color slider 3 and the three-color slider 4 correspondingly generate the one-color product 5, the two-color product 6 and the three-color product 7, and the slight error caused by rotation can be avoided through the precise cooperation of the inclined surface arranged on the side of the mold core 1 and the B plate, so as to meet the needs of injection molding.
