[0036] The folding mechanism 3 includes an inner folding mold 31, an outer folding mold 32, and a second driving mechanism 33 that drives the inner folding mold 31 and the outer folding mold 32 to move toward each other.

[0037] The folding mechanism 4 includes a lower folding mold 41, an upper folding mold 42, and a third driving mechanism 43 that drives the lower folding mold 41 and the upper folding mold 42 to move toward each other.

[0038] The rotating mechanism 5 includes a first rotating mold 51, a second rotating mold 52, a fourth driving mechanism 53 for driving the first rotating mold 51 to rotate, and a fifth driving mechanism 54 for driving the first rotating mold 51 and the second rotating mold 52 to separate from each other. The first rotating mold 51 is provided with a hook 55 for locking the wire folding part.

[0039] The folding mechanism 6 includes a lower folding die 61, an upper folding die 62, and a sixth driving mechanism 63 that drives the lower folding die 61 and the upper folding die 62 to move toward each other.

[0040] In this embodiment, the steel wire is continuously fed into the frame 1. After passing through the cutting mechanism 2 for a certain distance, the first driving mechanism 24 drives the wire cutting block 22 to move in the first guide groove 23. The wire cutting block 22, together with the wire threading block 21, cuts the steel wire to prepare for the subsequent bending action. The second driving mechanism 33 drives the outer folding mold 32 to approach the inner folding mold 31. The outer folding mold 32 can hold both sides of the steel wire and, together with the inner folding mold 31, folds the steel wire. After folding, the third driving device drives the upper folding mold 42 to move downward, pressing the bent part of the steel wire against the lower folding mold 41 to deform and press out the steel wire ear. The fourth driving mechanism 53 drives the first rotating mold 51 to rotate, and the hook 55 holds the steel wire. The folded ear section drives the steel wire to rotate, and the tail of the steel wire can be held by the upper folding hook die 62, so that the steel wire can be turned into a loop; the lower folding hook die 61 is set on one side of the first rotating die 51 and the second rotating die 52, and the upper folding hook die 62 points to the gap between the lower folding hook die 61 and the first rotating die 51 and the second rotating die 52.

After the wire is folded, the ear-folding operation can be performed directly. When folding the ear, the inner folding mold presses down on the wire and the inner folding mold 31, and the inner folding mold 31 will retract into the lower folding mold 41. After the wire is folded, the inner folding mold 31 is lifted, and the bent part of the wire will separate from the inner folding mold 31, which facilitates the subsequent movement of the wire.

[0059] Rotating ring: The fourth swing rod 724 and the fifth swing rod 743 are reset, the pressure plate 73 releases the clamp on the tail of the steel wire, the third rotating shaft 15 drives the incomplete gear 531 to rotate, the forward rotating gear 5311 first engages with the first gear shaft 532, driving the first gear shaft 532 to rotate, the second gear shaft 533 and the transmission shaft 534 rotate accordingly, the second gear shaft 533 rotates idling, and the transmission shaft 534 drives the first rotating mold 51 to rotate, performing a rotating ring operation on the steel wire;

[0060] Folding hook: The protruding part of the third cam 634 contacts the third rocker arm 633, and the third rocker arm 633 and the fourth rocker arm 632 swing accordingly, driving the folding hook push rod 631 to move downward. The upper folding hook die 62 and the lower folding hook die 61 cooperate to perform the folding hook action on the steel wire.

[0061] Unloading: The upper die 62 of the hook is raised, the reverse gear 5312 of the incomplete gear 531 engages with the second gear shaft 533, and the second gear shaft 533 drives the first gear shaft 532 and the transmission shaft 534 to rotate in opposite directions in sequence. The first rotating die 51 rotates in opposite directions, and the hook 55 rotates in opposite directions to disengage from the folded ear of the steel wire. The hook 55 rotates to the lower side of the first rotating die 51, and then the protruding part of the sixth cam 548 contacts the sixth rocker arm 547, driving the third connecting plate 546 to move back and forth. The third connecting plate 546 drives the main hinge plate 543 to swing horizontally. The two sides of the main hinge plate 543 drive the first hinge plate 541 and the second hinge plate 542 to swing through the first connecting plate 544 and the second connecting plate 545 respectively, thereby driving the transmission shaft 534 and the moving shaft 521 to separate from each other. The first rotating die 51 and the second rotating die 52 open, and the steel wire hose clamp can be blocked by the stop rod 56 and fall into the unloading groove 57.
