During work, the lower die insert 211 is fixed, and the upper die insert 107 moves downward with the movement of the upper die seat 1, so that the protruding right angle of the upper die insert 107 is just clamped in the recessed right angle of the lower die insert 211, and the workpiece between the upper die insert 107 and the lower die insert 211 is formed into a right angle flange.
[0036] The material pressing assembly comprises a material pressing body 3, the material pressing body 3 is provided with a plurality of through holes 304 for cooperating with the plurality of punch heads; for pressing the workpiece. In the present application, the upper die seat is provided with two punch heads, and correspondingly, two through holes 304 are provided in the material pressing body 3, so that the punch heads can smoothly pass through.
[0037] The material collecting assembly comprises a waste box 201 provided in the lower die seat 2, for collecting the waste generated after stamping; a plurality of sliding grooves are provided in the lower die seat 2 and cooperate with the waste box 201, the waste box 201 is slidingly connected with the sliding grooves, the waste generated during the stamping process falls into the waste box 201 through the concave die sleeve, and after the waste in the waste box 201 is full, the waste box 201 is pulled out at the front of the lower die seat 2 to pour out the waste.
[0038] Further, the left and right ends of the upper die seat 1 extend downward to form installation boxes 110, and the left and right ends of the lower die seat 2 sink downward to form installation grooves 215, which are matched with the installation boxes 110; the installation boxes 110 and the installation grooves 215 are provided with connecting mechanisms, which include end head guide columns 208 and end head guide sleeves 109, the end head guide columns 208 are vertically arranged in the installation grooves 215, the end head guide sleeves 109 are vertically arranged in the installation boxes 110, and the end head guide columns 208 are slidably connected with the end head guide sleeves 109.

[0045] Further, one end of the upper mold base 1 is provided with a lifting lug 104 and a lifting bar 105, which are used for loading and unloading and lifting the upper mold.
[0046] Further, the front and rear parts of the installation groove 215 and located on the lower mold base 2 are respectively fixed with end head buffers 205 with buffering function, which can play a certain damping effect when the mold is punched.
[0047] The working principle of the present application is as follows:
[0048] The workpiece plate is fed by a manual or automatic feeder, and the workpiece is stably fed through the product profile of the lower mold and the positioning pin 216;
[0049] During stamping, the upper mold moves downward, the spring exerts a downward force on the pressure material assembly, so that the pressure material assembly presses the workpiece, preventing the workpiece from moving during stamping;

[0051] The upper mold continues to move downward, the punch of the upper mold and the concave die sleeve of the lower mold cooperate to punch the workpiece, and the waste material is collected by the waste material box 201;
[0052] After stamping is completed, the workpiece is ejected by the cylinder assembly 210 to prevent material from being stuck.
[0053] In addition to the technical features described in the specification, they are known to those skilled in the art.
