[0041] The following is the preferred working process of the present invention:

[0042] 1. Install the upper die and lower die on the punch press, guide the workpiece through the guide block and guide groove, and position the positioning assembly in place;

[0043] 2. Start the punch press, drive the upper die to move downward, and the upper die block 12 moves downward. When the upper die moves downward 25 mm, the pressing plate 13 just contacts the workpiece and starts to press the material. The pressing plate 13 will remain stationary.

[0044] 3. The upper die continues to move downward, and the spring begins to compress. When the punching punch 15 moves downward by 6 mm, the punching is completed. The punching punch 15 will not work if it continues to move downward. At the same time, the upper die block 12 and the slider 30 begin to contact.

[0045] 4. The upper die continues to move downward, the upper die block 12, the forming punch 14 and the punching punch 15 continue to move downward, and the spring continues to compress. When the upper die moves downward another 4.5 mm, the upper die block 12 drives the slider 30 to move 4.5 mm to the left, the elastic reset member is compressed 4.5 mm, and the slider block 29 moves 4.5 mm to the left along with the slider 30. The slider block 29 supports the insert 24. At this time, the slider block 29 and the insert 24 are in a critical state of disengagement;

[0046] 5. The upper die continues to move downward by 2 mm, the upper die block 12 drives the slider 30 and the slider block 29 to move 2 mm to the left, and the slider block 29 and the insert 24 are separated by 2 mm. Since the lower die of the insert 24 has two insert springs 38 floating, the insert 24 will not move downward directly. At the same time, the forming punch 14 moves downward by 2 mm, and the forming punch 14 just contacts the product surface, and the forming process begins;

[0047] 6. When the upper die continues to move downward by 0.5 mm, the upper die block 12 and the slider 30 are in parallel contact, and the upper die block 12 continues to move downward and will not drive the slider 30. After moving downward by another 2 mm, the sliding mechanism remains unchanged, and the forming punch 14 moves downward. The die begins the forming process. When it moves to 2.5 mm, the die moves to the bottom and the forming process is completed.

[0048] 7. When the punch starts to move upward, the mold starts to move in the opposite direction. The upper mold stroke is 40mm in total, and the mold moves to the initial position.

[0049] The above is a specific description of the preferred implementation mode of the present invention, but the invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
