The upper guide plate 106 is fixed to the upper plate body 105 by bolts. The upper guide plate 106 is connected to the guide rail 4, and the guide rail 4 has multiple and radial array distributions. The upper adjustment nut 102 is connected to the upper mold plate 101 and is arranged at the array center of the guide rail 4. The upper cone 103 is connected to the upper adjustment nut 102, and the relative position is adjustable. Specifically, the upper cone 103 is sleeved with the upper adjustment nut 102, and the upper cone 103 is screwed with the upper adjustment nut 102. For the screwing position, please refer to the attached figure. Figure 2 At point A in the middle. The upper modules 104 are distributed in a circular array around the upper cone 103. A guide groove 5 is provided on the plane where the upper module 104 and the upper guide plate 106 are in contact. The guide rail 4 corresponds to the guide groove 5 one by one and forms a sliding connection. The guide groove 5 is adapted to the shape of the guide rail 4 and should be T-shaped or dovetail-shaped. Based on the above structure, the upper module 104 is slidably connected to the upper template 101, and the upper module 104 slides radially along the upper cone 103. The conical surface of the upper cone 103 is in contact with one of the side surfaces of the upper module 104. A spring 6 is provided around all the upper modules 104. The upper cone 103 moves axially along the upper module 104, and all the upper modules 104 are separated from each other; under the action of the spring 6, all the upper modules 104 have a movement tendency to gather together.
