[0075] With such a setting, when the placement plate 5 drives the steel plate to move below the ear top plate 802, the steel plate is located between the two forming dies 804. The ear hydraulic cylinder 801 drives the ear pressing plate 803 to descend, and the steel plate is pressed and fixed on the surface of the placement plate 5 through the ear pressing plate 803. The ear driving assembly 805 drives the two ear sliders 808 to slide towards each other inside the forming sliding groove 103 until the pre-bent parts at both ends of the steel plate completely enter the forming cavity 8042 through the insertion cavity 8041.

The first upper moving seat 6031 and the second upper moving seat 6036 are respectively connected with the two blanking upper sliders 609.

[0079] With such a setting, the first dual-axis motor 6034 drives the first upper driving lead screw 6032 and the second upper driving lead screw 6035 to rotate. Since the thread directions of the first upper driving lead screw 6032 and the second upper driving lead screw 6035 are opposite, the first upper moving seat 6031 and the second upper moving seat 6036 can be driven to move towards or away from each other by using screw drive, so as to drive the two blanking upper sliders 609 to slide towards or away from each other inside the blanking adjustment groove 6041.

[0080] On the upper surface of the blanking lifting plate 604, there are two fixed plates 6037 installed, which are respectively in contact with the first upper moving seat 6031 and the second upper moving seat 6036.

[0081] With such a setting, when the position adjustment of the first upper moving seat 6031 and the second upper moving seat 6036 is completed, the clamping hydraulic cylinder 6038 contracts, drives the positioning clamping plate 6040 to move towards the fixed plate 6037 through the transmission plate 6039, and clamps and fixes the first upper moving seat 6031 and the second upper moving seat 6036 through the positioning clamping plate 6040 and the fixed plate 6037, so as to ensure the stability of the first upper moving seat 6031 and the second upper moving seat 6036, which helps to ensure the blanking effect.

The first bottom moving seat 6053 and the second bottom moving seat 6055 are respectively connected with the two blanking bottom sliders 606.

[0083] With such a setting, the second double-shaft motor 6051 drives the first bottom drive lead screw 6052 and the second bottom drive lead screw 6054 to rotate synchronously. Since the thread directions of the first bottom drive lead screw 6052 and the second bottom drive lead screw 6054 are opposite, the first bottom moving seat 6053 and the second bottom moving seat 6055 move towards or away from each other, thereby driving the two blanking bottom sliders 606 to slide towards or away from each other inside the blanking sliding groove 101.

All the bottom arc pressing rollers 1104 are distributed in an arc shape and are used to cooperate with the upper arc pressing rollers 1105 to perform integral arc pressing and forming of the leaf spring.

[0088] With such a setting, when the pushing plate 13 pushes the steel plate that has completed the ear forming to the surface of the bottom arc pressing roller 1104, the arc pressing motor 1101 drives the arc pressing lead screw 1107 to rotate, so that the arc pressing lifting rod 1108 drives the arc pressing lifting plate 1109 to lift and lower inside the arc pressing bearing frame 1103 through the arc pressing guide post 1106. The upper arc pressing rollers 1105 descend along with the arc pressing lifting plate 1109, and the red-hot steel plate is arc-pressed and formed by the cooperation of the upper arc pressing rollers 1105 and the bottom arc pressing rollers 1104.
