[0021] Support device 2 includes valve needle 12, hot runner 13, supporting rod 14, connection sleeve 15 and hydraulic cylinder 16, valve needle 12 is slidably inserted in the inner center of hot runner 13, hot runner 13 is fixedly installed on supporting rod 14, hydraulic cylinder 16 is fixedly installed on the rear end top of supporting rod 14, connection sleeve 15 is installed and arranged in the inner front end of hydraulic cylinder 16, by first loading valve needle 12 into the inside of hot runner 13, then installing hydraulic cylinder 16 on supporting rod 14, so that clamping plate 11 can be conveniently butt-jointed with connection sleeve 15.

[0022] Clamping plate 11 is slidably inserted in the inside of connection sleeve 15, one end of support cavity 4 away from support base plate 8 is connected with the rear end of valve needle 12, by connecting support cavity 4 with valve needle 12, when clamping plate 11 is connected with connection sleeve 15, valve needle 12 can be simultaneously connected.

[0023] The two sides of the contact push plate 9 facing away from the supporting base plate 8 and the front side ends of the alignment key 10 close to the contact push plate 9 are all inclined at 45°, and grooves are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 15 to facilitate the docking and adaptation of the clamping plate 11 and the connecting sleeve 15.

[0024] A latch key is fixedly mounted on the front end of the card plate 11 , and a latch slot is symmetrically provided on the rear end of the supporting base plate 8 , which can support the card plate 11 to move in a straight line.
