The upper half film is used for fixing the upper die core, each lower half film 10 is arranged on the rotary platform and rotates along with the rotary platform to sequentially pass through the connecting station and the injection molding station, any injection molding station is provided with the upper half film, when the lower half film is positioned on the injection molding station, the upper half film can be covered with the lower half film to enable the upper die core and the lower die core 10 to be enclosed to form an injection molding cavity, and the injection molding machine 40 injects glue into the injection molding cavity and forms a finished product. It should be noted that, in the case of providing the insert, the insert is placed on the lower mold core 10 and moved to the injection molding machine 40 along with the lower mold core 10. At this time, the insert is placed in the injection molding cavity, and the insert, the upper mold core and the lower mold core 10 enclose together to form a molding space of the injection molding piece (finished product). At this time, the injection molding machine 40 injects glue into the injection cavity to form a finished product within the molding space.

In this embodiment, the lower mold core 10 can move out of the injection molding machine 40, and specifically, the conveying device 20 is used to drive the lower mold core 10 to move back and forth between the loading and unloading station and the docking station. The conveying device 20 is detachably connected with the lower mold core 10. After the conveying device 20 moves the lower mold core 10 to the connection station, the lower mold core 10 is separated from the lower mold core 10, and the lower mold core 10 is placed in the injection molding machine 40 for injection molding operation. After the injection molding is completed, the conveying device 20 is connected to the lower mold core 10 and transfers it to the loading and unloading station for taking out the finished product and inserting the implant and the insert.

The loading device 30 is used to place the implant into the lower mold core 10 at the loading and unloading station. Specifically, loading attachment 30 includes screening mechanism 31 and feed mechanism 32, and screening mechanism 31 adjusts the implant to putting according to predetermineeing the gesture, and feed mechanism 32 will be according to predetermineeing the gesture implant of putting and shift to being located the lower mould benevolence 10 of loading and unloading station.
