The invention discloses an upper shear blade front pressing plate device of a pendulum shear. Upper shear blades are arranged at sharp corners of the lower portions of upper shear frames, vertically-coaxial through holes are formed in an upper hanging plate and a lower hanging plate of the upper portion of each upper shear frame in the rolled piece entering direction, the edges of the two through holes are each provided with a sliding sleeve, and a connecting rod is arranged in the two through holes of each upper shear frame and the corresponding sliding sleeves in a sliding mode. A protection cover is fixedly arranged on the edge of the through hole in the upper surface of each upper shear frame, the protection covers, the sliding sleeves and the connecting rods are arranged coaxially, the upper ends of the protection covers and flanges at the front ends of cylinder bodies of hydraulic cylinders are fixedly connected, piston rods of the hydraulic cylinders are connected with the connecting rods downwards through flange sleeves, and the lower ends of the connecting rods are fixedly connected with pressing plates through pressing plate nuts. According to the device, the duckbilled pressing plates can guarantee that rolled pieces enter the pendulum shear smoothly, therefore, the function of a guide belt is achieved, the problem that the rolled pieces are piled up in front of the shear blades is solved, the shear face is straight, and shear quality is obviously improved.
