DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, during mold closing, the control mainframe 1 sends out a signal and transmits an instruction to the gas storage station 3 through the line 2 to make the gas storage station 3 automatically turn on the inert gas container control valve, inert gas flows to a bottom mold back cavity through the ventilating pipeline 4 and enters a mold cavity through the gas inlet plugs 5 arranged at a window. After a liquid lifting stage is completed, a time controller inside the mainframe also rapidly transmits the signal to the gas storage station 3, so that the control valve is turned off to complete the process of gas delivery towards the cavity.
