[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is:

Preferably, a step hole is opened in the upper mold body, the guide rod extends into the step hole, and a limit nut is threadedly connected at the end of the guide rod to prevent the upper mold body from falling off from the end of the guide rod. Preferably, in a natural state, the inner end face of the upper mold body is flush with the left end face of the lifting block. In this solution, when the outer mold extrude the first folded edge of the top cover, the upper mold body is squeezed and moved by the outer wall of the first flange, driving the connecting arm to slide in the lower mold body. When the connecting arm slides, the lifting block rises under the action of the guiding inclined surface between the connecting arm and the lifting block, thereby pressing the second flange into the shaping groove. The deformation of the second flange is increased by this extrusion, thereby offsetting its rebound deformation, ensuring that the second flange is perpendicular to the first flange after rebound deformation, and meeting the design requirements.

[0008] Specifically, the inner mold includes a left mold body, a left bevel mold body, a rear mold body, a right bevel mold body and a right mold body. When the top block is raised, the left mold body slides to the left, the left bevel mold body slides to the bevel of the left rear side, the rear mold body slides backward, the right bevel mold body slides to the bevel of the right rear side, and the right mold body slides to the right; mutually fitting guide inclined surfaces are provided between the left mold body and the left side of the top block, the rear mold body and the rear side of the top block, and the right mold body and the right side of the top block; a folded line extrusion notch is provided on the rear side of the left mold body and the left side of the rear mold body, and the left bevel mold body is provided with a guide inclined surface that fits with each other.

[0012] Specifically, two hydraulic cylinders are arranged on the countertop of the machine. The hydraulic cylinders are arranged horizontally and their output ends are connected to both sides of the outer mold for returning the outer mold. When the hydraulic cylinder is in the initial position, the internal pressure is in a balanced state. When the outer mold is pushed toward the inner mold, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is pulled to generate negative pressure in the hydraulic cylinder. When the pressure of the outer mold disappears, the negative pressure in the hydraulic cylinder will pull its output end to pull the outer mold back to its original position.

[0013] Specifically, the countertop is provided with a limit block, and the two sides of the lower mold body are provided with extension parts, and the limit block is used to block the extension parts to form a limit. The limit block is used to limit the lower mold body to avoid excessive pushing.

[0020] S4. Start the driving cylinders one after another to drive the lower mold bodies of the outer molds at different positions to squeeze the first folded edge so that the bottom of the first folded edge is bent to form a second folded edge located at the step notch. At the same time, the upper mold body of the outer mold is squeezed back by the outer wall of the first folded edge and causes the connecting arm to retreat. When the connecting arm retreats, the lifting block is driven to rise under the action of the guiding inclined surface of the lifting block to push the second folded edge into the shaping groove.

[0021] S5. After the driving cylinder retreats, the lower mold body retreats to its original position, the upper mold body is reset by the reset spring, the lifting cylinder descends, the inner mold returns to its original position by the return spring, the pneumatic pressing device returns, the top cover is taken out, and one processing is completed.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: In the present invention, when the outer mold extrude the first folded edge of the top cover, the upper mold body is squeezed and moved by the outer wall of the first flange, driving the connecting arm to slide in the lower mold body. When the connecting arm slides, the lifting block rises under the action of the guiding inclined surface between the connecting arm and the lifting block, thereby pressing the second flange into the shaping groove. Through this extrusion, the deformation of the second flange is increased, thereby offsetting its rebound deformation, ensuring that the second flange is perpendicular to the first flange after rebound deformation, thereby meeting the design requirements.
