The outer surface of the guide rod 2 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 6. The outer surface of the lead screw 13 is rotatably connected to the base 1. The motor 12 is electrically connected to an external power source.

[0029] A pressure rod 17 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the lower mold 15. A pressure plate 24 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pressure rod 17. A triangular block 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the pressure rod 17 away from the pressure plate 24. A sliding column 19 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the lower mold 15.
