Therefore, after the first processing mold M1 is transported to the mold fixing assembly 22 by the pick-and-place unit 31 and the first processing mold M1 is detachably fixed to the mold fixing assembly 22, the nozzle (not shown in the figure) of the injection assembly 21 injects the mold material into the first processing mold M1 through the mold fixing assembly 22. Then, the first processing mold M1 is separated by the mold fixing component 22, so that the finished product or the semi-finished product in the first processing mold M1 falls onto the conveying component 24, and is conveyed to another place through the conveying component 24. The conveying assembly 24 may have a material transporting element 240, a lifting fixing element 241 and a lifting vibration element 242.

The first clamping element 110 and the second clamping element 111 may be mechanical clamping jaw structures.

Therefore, the operator can place the first male mold part M10 and the first female mold part M11 on the mold carrying unit 10 by equipment transportation or manual handling. Next, the mold clamping unit 11 can clamp the first male mold part M10 by the first clamping member 110 and clamp the first female mold part M11 by the second clamping member 111. Next, the first mold half M1 is formed by driving the first clamping element 110 and the second clamping element 111 to gradually approach each other so as to combine the first male mold part M10 and the first female mold part M11 with each other.

Conversely, the mold clamping unit 11 may also clamp a part of the first working mold M1 by the first clamping member 110 and clamp another part of the first working mold M1 by the second clamping member 111; then, by gradually separating the first clamping element 110 and the second clamping element 111 correspondingly to each other, one portion of the first processing mold M1 is separated from the other portion, so that the first processing mold M1 is disassembled into the first male mold part M10 and the first female mold part M11.
