[0026] The fixed infrared communication module 8 is connected to the main control cabinet 1 via a cable, so that the main control cabinet 1 and the fixed infrared communication module 8 form a data connection, which facilitates signal interaction between the main control cabinet 1 and the mobile infrared communication module 9. The signals are fed back to the automatic mold changing trolley control system through the fixed infrared communication module 8 and the mobile infrared communication module 9.

[0027] The conductive rail 2 is connected to the main control cabinet 1 via a cable. The conductive rail 2 is wrapped with insulating material, which can effectively improve the safety of the equipment.
