When the two slide plates 603 move up and down alternately, the connecting plate 604 and the storage box 605 connected thereto move accordingly, so that the two storage boxes 605 alternately enter the high-temperature softening furnace body 4 through the two feeding ports 5, which is convenient for the staff to load and take out the optical glass. When the limit screw rod 602 rotates, the circular gear 1 701 is driven to rotate. The tooth chain 704 is the transmission center of the circular gear 1 701 and the circular gear 2 703, so that the circular gear Wheel 1 701 and circular gear 2 703 rotate synchronously, driving T-column 702 to rotate, and bevel gear 1 705 rotates accordingly, driving bevel gear 2 709 meshing therewith to rotate, and T-screw rod 708 rotates accordingly. When the two T-screw rods 708 rotate, the two baffles 710 are driven to slide horizontally in the two fixed shells 707, and the two feed ports 5 are alternately blocked. The motor 802 is started to drive the drive gear 801 connected thereto to rotate. Since the two drive gears 801 are meshed with each other, they rotate synchronously and in opposite directions, driving the two limit screw rods 602 to rotate in opposite directions.
