Then, the punching driving source 6 is started, the punching driving source 6 drives the slider 4 to move, and the slider 4 drives the punching knife 5 to move, so that the knife head 52 cuts off the convex bump 101, thereby making the surface of the product 100 smoother.
[0036] Embodiment 2: Embodiment 2 of the present application provides a punching jig, and the difference between Embodiment 2 of the present application and Embodiment 1 is that: refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 7 also includes a clamping drive source 74, which specifically adopts an angle cylinder. The body of the clamping drive source 74 is fixedly connected to the support seat 2, and the output end of the clamping drive source 74 can be lifted and rotated, so as to clamp the top side of the product 100.

The elastic member 822 specifically adopts a spring, and the elastic member 822 is respectively fixedly connected to the clamping block 821 and the slider 4. The clamping block 821 and the support block 81 are provided with a receiving groove 811 on one side close to each other, and the shape of the receiving groove 811 is adapted to the shape of the convex bump 101, and the convex bump 101 can be accommodated in the receiving groove 811.
[0038] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8The punching knife 5 includes a knife seat 51 and a knife head 52. The knife seat 51 is detachably connected to the slider 4, and the knife head 52 is detachably connected to the knife seat 51. When the punching driving source 6 is started, the punching driving source 6 drives the slider 4 to move, and the slider 4 drives the abutting block 821 to move. The abutting block 821 abuts against the convex bump 101. The slider 4 continues to move, so that the elastic member 822 is compressed, and the elastic member 822 applies force to the abutting block 821, so that the abutting block 821 and the support block 81 clamp the convex bump 101 away from the side of the product 100. The knife head 52 is located above the abutting block 821, and the knife head 52 contacts the lower surface of the product 100. When the abutting block 821 and the support block 81 clamp the convex 101, the slider 4 continues to move, at which time the cutter head 52 contacts the convex 101 and gradually cuts the convex 101. The abutting block 821 and the support block 81 clamp the convex 101 so that the convex 101 is subjected to more uniform force when being cut. In this embodiment, the cutter head 52 uses a thinner blade to reduce the force applied by the cutter head 52 to the convex 101 in the vertical direction during the cutting process, which is conducive to smooth cutting. The slider 4 moves until the cutter head 52 contacts the support block 81, and the convex 101 is completely cut off. Then the punching drive source 6 drives the slider 4 to move in the opposite direction, driving the cutter head 52 away from the support block 81, and then the abutting block 821 moves away from the support block 81, and the abutting block 821 and the support block 81 release the clamping of the convex 101, and the convex 101 falls due to gravity.

[0040] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 A trimming assembly 9 is provided on the support seat 2, and the trimming assembly 9 includes a lifting driving source 91 and a grinder 92. In this embodiment, the lifting driving source 91 specifically adopts an electric push rod, and the body of the lifting driving source 91 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 1. The grinder 92 includes a body and a grinding head, and the output end of the lifting driving source 91 is fixedly connected to the body of the grinder 92. The lifting driving source 91 can drive the grinder 92 to move upward, so that the grinding head contacts and grinds the area of the product 100 after the convex bump 101 is cut off, thereby removing burrs and improving the quality of the product 100.
[0041] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6When the product 100 is placed on the Z-axis positioning plate 73, the pressing drive source 74 is started again, so that the product 100 is pressed against the Z-axis positioning plate 73, so that the position of the product 100 is more stable, which is conducive to cutting the convex bump 101 and grinding the area of the product 100 where the convex bump 101 is removed, and the shaking and displacement of the product 100 are reduced. After grinding the area where the convex bump 101 is removed from the product 100, the pressing drive source 74 is started again, so that the pressing drive source 74 releases the limit on the top side of the product 100. Then, the grinder 92 is stopped, and the lifting drive source 91 is started, so that the lifting drive source 91 drives the grinder 92 to continue to move upward, so that the grinder 92 lifts the product 100 from the Z-axis positioning plate 73, and the unloading operation of the product 100 is realized.
[0042] The implementation principle of a punching jig in Example 2 of the present application is as follows: first, the product 100 is placed on the Z-axis positioning plate 73, and then the pressing drive source 74 presses the product 100 on the Z-axis positioning plate 73. Then, the punching drive source 6 drives the slider 4 to move, and the slider 4 causes the abutting block 821 and the support block 81 to clamp the bulge 101. Then, the slider 4 continues to move, so that the cutter head 52 cuts off the bulge 101, and the slider 4 then drives the cutter head 52 and the abutting block 821 away from the support block 81, and the abutting block 821 and the support block 81 release the clamping of the bulge 101, so that the bulge 101 can fall into the aggregate box 10. Then, the lifting drive source 91 drives the grinder 92 to approach the lower surface of the product 100, so that the grinder 92 grinds the area of the product 100 where the bulge 101 is removed. Finally, the pressing driving source 74 releases the pressing on the top side of the product 100 , and the lifting driving source 91 drives the grinder 92 to eject the product 100 , thereby realizing the unloading of the product 100 .
