Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

The two sliders 123 are each provided with a semi-circular arc edge surrounding the protruding template 122 on the side facing the protruding template 122.
[0046] like Figures 1-6 When the mold is opened, the fixed template 11 is provided with a driving component that drives the two sliders 123 to move away from the convex template 122. When the mold is closed, the driving component drives the two sliders 123 to move towards the convex template 122, so that the two semi-circular arc edges are surrounded to form a complete circle around the convex template 122. The fixed template 11 is provided with a forming plate 111 that fits against the inner wall of the complete circle and abuts against the top surface of the convex template 122. The top surface of the convex template 122 is the side of the convex template 122 that is away from the moving template 12. The forming plate 111, the two sliders 123, and the convex template 122 form the forming cavity 13 of the shell 2. The outer wall of the convex template 122 is provided with a forming groove 131 for forming the reinforcing ribs of the straight inner wall.
[0047] The fixed template 11 is provided with a main flow channel 112, and the convex template 122 is provided with a secondary flow channel communicating with the main flow channel 112. The secondary flow channel is used to guide the molten material in the main flow channel 112 from the outer wall side of the convex template 122 to the forming cavity 13, so that the ejection mechanism ejects the cold material head formed in the main flow channel 112 and the secondary flow channel from the shell 2 formed in the forming cavity 13 respectively.

[0051] The shell 2 has a certain hardness, if measured by Shore hardness, the hardness of this kind of cross-section sleeve is usually Shore A 85-95, or even reaches Shore D 50-60 (much harder than tire rubber). This hardness range ensures that it is extremely wear-resistant and not easy to be cut or torn.

At this time, the receiving box 18 is provided with an outlet on the side lower than the two guide rails 182, so that the shell 2 sliding down from the two guide rails 182 enters the storage track for storage. The storage track can be provided with multiple tracks in parallel, and the bottom is connected by a bottom plate. The bottom plate is provided with a roller with a brake at the bottom, which is convenient for changing the storage track connected with the two guide rails 182.
[0063] As Figures 6-11 , the adjusting member includes an arc-shaped baffle 183 arranged on the side wall of the receiving box 181 and a gap 1721 arranged at the outlet of the arc-shaped plate 172. The width of the baffle 183 gradually increases from the position close to the upper end of the receiving box 181. The purpose is to block the annular protrusion 21. When one end of the arc-shaped plate 172 rotates into the receiving box 18, the gap 1721 corresponds to the guide rail 182, and there is a gap between the lower end of the arc-shaped plate 172 and the guide rail 182. One end of the arc-shaped plate 172 with the gap 1721 is located on one side of the baffle 183 and there is a gap A between the baffle 183.
[0064] As Figures 6-11 , when the shell 2 slides along the arc-shaped plate 172, due to the design of the arc-shaped plate 172 and the straight cylinder shape of the shell 2 with the annular protrusion 21 at one end, the shell 2 will gradually make the straight cylinder length direction parallel to the arc-shaped plate 172 length direction during the rolling process along the arc-shaped plate 172, and then the shell 2 will be in two states after sliding out of the arc-shaped plate 172.
[0065] The first state: When the straight cylinder is directed to the outlet direction of the arc-shaped plate 172, the gap 1721 is used for the straight cylinder of the shell 2 to drop out of the arc-shaped plate 172, and the annular protrusion 21 is still located on the arc-shaped plate 172. The gap A is used for the annular protrusion 21 to slide out of the arc-shaped plate 172 and move into the guide rail 182 at this time.
[0066] As Figure 10 , the second state: When the shell 2 slides along the arc-shaped plate 172, and the annular protrusion 21 is directed to the outlet direction of the arc-shaped plate 172, the baffle 183 is used to abut against the annular protrusion 21 on the shell 2, so that the straight cylinder is inclined to the gap 1721 direction and then the annular protrusion 21 moves out of the arc-shaped plate 172 and enters the guide rail 182.
[0067] As Figures 6-11 , the direction adjustment of the shell 2 is completed, and then the shell 2 entering the guide rail 182 is directed upward with the annular protrusion 21, which is convenient for the orderly collection of the shell 2. The side of the baffle 183 away from the receiving box 181 is provided with a rubber pad, which is used to reduce the collision between the shell 2 and the baffle 183.
[0068] The receiving process:
[0069] The first step: when the mold is closed, the arc plate 172 is in a horizontal state, after the mold is opened, the movable mold plate 12 drives the mounting plate 171 to move away from the fixed mold plate 11, at this time, the push plate 151 also moves together, thereby driving one end of the arc plate 172 to be above the receiving box 181 and the material collecting box 18, and in this process, the guide rod 16 drives the two sliding blocks 123 to move away from the convex mold plate 122, facilitating the subsequent ejection of the shell 2;
[0070] The second step: after the mold is opened, the push plate 151 pushes the ejector pin 141 and the ejector rod 153 to move together in the direction of the convex mold plate 122, the cold head is separated from the shell 2 under the pushing force of each ejector pin 141, and is then preferentially ejected, in this process, the movement of the push plate 151 drives one end of the arc plate 172 to rotate in the direction of the receiving box 181, so that the dropped cold head is received by the arc plate 172 and falls into the receiving box 181 along the inclined arc plate 172; at this time, the ejector rod 153 also ejects one end of the shell 2 from the convex mold plate 122 by a small amount;
[0071] The third step: as the push plate 151 continues to move, the ejector rod 153 continues to eject the shell 2 from the convex mold plate 122, and the arc plate 172 continues to rotate, thereby rotating away from the receiving box 181 to the material collecting box 18, in this process, one end of the arc plate 172 is not in contact with the box opening of the receiving box 181, facilitating the rotation of one end of the arc plate 172 above the material collecting box 18, when the push plate 151 moves to the position, so that the ejector rod 153 completely ejects the shell 2 from the convex mold plate 122, one end of the arc plate 172 rotates to above the two guide rails 182, and then the shell 2 falls on the arc plate 172 and moves to the guide rail 182 along the inclined arc plate 172 for orderly collection.
[0072] As Figure 8 And Figure 9 And Figure 10 At this time, in order to better make one end of the arc plate 172 close to the guide rail 182, the mouth wall of the side box opening of the receiving box 181 extending out of the material collecting box 18 is consistent with the inclined direction of the guide rail 182, and the upper end surface of the guide rail 182 is flush with the inclined box opening of the material collecting box 18, there is a gap between the receiving box 181 and the guide rail 182, facilitating the movement of the shell 2 along the guide rail 182.
