By setting a locking mechanism, the hydraulic cylinder 11 is started to drive the connecting plate 7 to move downward, so that the wedge block 6 supports the upper mold 2 to move downward. Since the height of the top of the clamping block 18 and the locking block 19 is consistent with the height of the top of the lower mold 3, the wedge block 6 is squeezed after contacting the locking block 19 and gradually moves toward the inside of the movable groove 5. When the upper mold 2 contacts the lower mold 3, the wedge block 6 is completely retracted into the inside of the movable groove 5. At this time, the connecting plate 7 drives the locking rod 4 to continue to move downward, so that the first spring 12 squeezes the upper mold 2 until the height of the top of the wedge block 6 is lower than the height of the bottom of the locking block 19.
