[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3A handwheel 8 is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the internally threaded pipe 5, and a sealing sleeve 10 is rotatably connected to the lower outer side of the internally threaded pipe 5. The sealing sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the feeding cover 4. The sealing sleeve 10 can seal the connection between the internally threaded pipe 5 and the feeding cover 4. A guide rod frame 11 is slidably connected inside the guide plate 12. The guide rod frame 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the melting tank 3. The guide rod frame 11 can guide the movement of the guide plate 12. A forming mold 18 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the machine box 1. A hydraulic cylinder 17 is installed at the upper end of the machine box 1. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the mold cover of the forming mold 18. The hydraulic cylinder 17 can drive the mold cover of the forming mold 18 to move.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The locking mechanism 7 includes a fixed frame 71. The fixed frame 71 is fixedly connected to the outside of the feeding cover 4. A pull ring rod 72 is slidably connected inside the fixed frame 71. A limit frame 73 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull ring rod 72 near the internal threaded tube 5. A gear 74 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outside of the internal threaded tube 5. A spring 75 is provided on the outside of the pull ring rod 72. The pull ring rod 72 can drive the limit frame 73 to move. The limit frame 73 is slidably connected to the tooth groove of the gear 74.

During the rotation, the internal threaded tube 5 can drive the temperature probe 9 to move through the threaded engagement with the screw 6. After the temperature probe 9 moves to the predetermined position, release the pull ring rod 72, and the spring 75 returns to its original position. The spring 75 can drive the limit frame 73 to engage inside the tooth groove of the gear 74 through its elastic force, thus completing the limitation on the gear 74 and the internal threaded tube 5, thereby making the temperature monitoring more accurate.

[0025] During the melting process, when the internal temperature of the melting tank 3 is too high, the temperature probe 9 transmits the temperature to the processor inside the chassis 1. Then the water pump starts and injects cold water into the temperature control hood 13 through the cold water pipe 16. When the cold water flows inside the temperature control hood 13, it can be discharged through the return pipe 15. The water flow can cool down the melting tank 3 during the flow process. At the same time, the water flow can be heated by the electric heating tube 14, which can prevent the raw material temperature from dropping too much and causing condensation.
