Of course, other positioning and guiding structures can also be used. In addition, the top plate 2 can move toward the base plate 1 under the drive of the downward pressure component. In this embodiment, the downward pressure component can be a downward pressure cylinder, or other downward pressure driving sources, all of which are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0027] In the present invention, along the central axis direction of the base plate 1, the base plate 1 is provided with a punching component 3 for punching the profile 100 into a blank 101, a trimming component 4 for trimming the yoke head 102 at both ends of the blank 101, a pressing component 5 for pressing the horizontal surface of the yoke head 102 into an arc surface, a punching component 6 for punching the blank 101 into a U-shaped yoke blank 103, a punching component 7 for punching the bottom 104 on the yoke blank 103, a chamfering component 8 for chamfering the punched hole 105 on the bottom 104 and a punching component 9 for punching holes in the bottom 104. One side of the base plate 1 is provided with a manipulator or a step-by-step transport assembly for clamping and transporting the profile 100 to the adjacent assembly in front. The manipulator or step-by-step transport assembly corresponds to each assembly one by one.

The above design is sophisticated. The profile is fully automatically punched and processed by the punching assembly, trimming assembly, pressing assembly, stamping assembly, punching assembly, chamfering assembly and hole-drawing assembly. The processing is simple and convenient, stable and reliable, and greatly improves the production efficiency of the yoke. In addition, all components are driven by the same downward pressure assembly to move the top plate 2 downward, which can effectively save processing costs and mold costs, thereby solving the problems of high processing costs and complicated processes for yoke processing. It has a wide applicability and is convenient for mass production.
[0028] Specifically, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the blanking assembly 3 at least includes a support block 31 fixed to the bottom plate 1, on which a lower blanking support plate 311, a lower blanking support block 312, an upper blanking support plate 313, and an upper blanking support block 314 are fixed in sequence. The lower blanking support plate 311 and the upper blanking support plate 313 are each provided with a chute 315, the height of which is greater than or equal to the height of the profile 100. A blanking plate 316 is fixed to the top plate 2, on which a blanking knife 317 is fixed. The lower blanking support plate 311, the lower blanking support block 312, the upper blanking support plate 313, and the upper blanking support block 314 are each provided with a blanking hole 318 adapted to the blanking knife 317. Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, a bearing plate 35 is provided on one side of the support block 31, and a support plate 32 is provided on the other side of the support block 31.

The push plate 34 is located in the slide groove 315 of the punching lower support plate 311.
[0029] The above layout is reasonable. When the profile 100 moves in the chute 315 on the upper blanking support plate 313, the blanking plate 316 moves downward and uses the blanking knife to blank the profile 100 into a blank 101. The blank 101 falls into the chute 315 on the lower blanking support plate 311. At this time, the pushing cylinder 33 is driven to push the blank 101 into the carrier plate 35 via the push plate 34. This operation is simple and convenient, which can greatly improve work efficiency.
[0030] like Figure 8 As shown, the trimming assembly 4 at least includes a trimming lower template 41 fixed to the bottom plate 1 and a trimming support plate 42 fixed to the trimming lower template 41. The trimming support plate 42 is fixed with a trimming positioning block 43. The inner side of the trimming positioning block 43 is provided with a trimming positioning groove 431 that is designed to imitate the outer side surface of the blank 101. The top plate 2 is fixed with a trimming upper template 44, a trimming upper support block 45, and a trimming pressing plate 46 in sequence. The trimming upper template 44 is fixed with a trimming cutter 47. The trimming cutter 47 can at least partially extend and be placed in the cutter groove 48 of the trimming support plate 42. In the above, the trimming positioning block 43 can limit the axial movement of the blank 101 to prevent displacement or movement during the trimming process and ensure the accuracy of the trimming. When the top plate 2 moves downward, the trimming cutter 47 can be extended and placed in the cutter groove 48 to complete the trimming of the yoke head 102 .
[0031] like Figure 9 As shown, the pressing assembly 5 at least includes a pressing lower template 51 fixed on the bottom plate 1 and a pressing support block 52 fixed on the pressing lower template 51. Pressing positioning blocks 54 are provided on both sides of the pressing support block 52. The inner side of the pressing positioning block 54 is provided with a pressing positioning groove 541 that is designed to imitate the outer side surface of the blank 101. The top of the pressing support block 52 is provided with an arc-shaped pressing groove 53. A pressing upper template 59 is fixed on the top plate 2. A pressing plate 55 is fixed on the pressing upper template 59. A force block 56 is fixed on the pressing plate 55. A force applying head 57 that matches the pressing groove 53 is provided at the bottom of the force applying block 56. In the above, the pressing positioning block 54 can limit the axial movement of the blank 101, avoiding displacement or movement in the process of pressing the horizontal surface of the yoke head 102 into an arcuate surface, thereby improving the accuracy of pressing. When the top plate 2 moves downward, the force-applying pressure head 57 can press the horizontal surface of the yoke head 102 into an arc-shaped surface, which is simple and convenient to operate.
[0032] like Figure 10As shown, the stamping assembly 6 at least includes a stamping lower template 61 fixed on the bottom plate 1, and the stamping lower template 61 has a built-in stamping block 62. Stamping positioning blocks 63 are fixed on both sides of the stamping block 62. The inner side of the stamping positioning block 63 is provided with a stamping positioning groove 631 that is designed to imitate the outer side surface of the blank 101. The stamping block 62 is provided with a stamping groove 64 that is compatible with the bottom 104. A stamping upper template 65 and a stamping support plate 66 are fixed on the top plate 2, and a stamping head 67 is fixed on the stamping support plate 66. In the above, the stamping positioning block 63 can limit the axial movement of the blank 101 to avoid displacement or movement of the U-shaped yoke blank 103 during stamping, thereby improving the accuracy of pressing. When the top plate 2 moves downward, the punching head 67 can drive the blank 101 to move downward until it is punched into a U-shaped yoke blank 103 by the punching groove, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.
[0033] In the above, the structures of the trimming assembly 4, pressing assembly 5 and punching assembly 6 of the yoke automatic processing and forming device are similar to those of the prior art and are not the protection points of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not go into details here.
[0034] like Figure 11 and 12 As shown, the punching assembly 7 at least includes a punching lower template 71 fixed on the bottom plate 1 and a punching lower support plate 72 provided on the punching lower template 71.

The inner side of the punching positioning block 74 is provided with a punching positioning groove 75 that matches the outer contour of the yoke blank 103. A punching upper template 76, a punching upper support plate 77 and a punching fixing plate 78 are fixed on the top plate 2. A punching head 79 is fixed on the punching upper support plate 77. The punching head 79 passes through the punching fixing plate 78 and can be extended and placed in the punching block 73. In the above, the punching positioning block 74 can limit the axial movement of the yoke blank 103 to avoid displacement or movement during the punching process and improve the accuracy of the punching. When the top plate 2 moves downward, the punching head extends and is placed in the punching block 73 to complete the punching. The operation is simple and convenient, and the work efficiency is greatly improved.
[0035] like Figure 4 and 5As shown, the chamfering assembly 8 comprises at least a chamfering lower die 81 fixed to the bottom plate 1. The chamfering lower die 81 is provided with a chamfer receiving groove, which houses a chamfering support block 82. The chamfering support block 82 is provided with a chamfering contoured groove 821 that is contoured to the bottom 104. A chamfer receiving groove 822 is provided in the middle of the chamfering support block 82, which houses a matching chamfering block 83. The chamfering block 83 is provided with a chamfering groove 831, and a plug hole 832 is provided at the center of the chamfering groove 831. The plug hole 832 is surrounded by upwardly protruding retaining rings 833. A chamfering upper die 84 is fixed to the top plate 2. A chamfering insert rod 87 is fixed to the chamfering upper die 84. The bottom of the chamfering insert rod 87 is truncated and can be inserted into the plug hole 832. In the above description, the chamfering support block 82 and the chamfering positioning block 86 can limit the axial movement of the bottom 104 to avoid displacement or movement during the chamfering process, thereby improving the accuracy of punching.
[0036] After the punching assembly 7 punches the bottom plate, since the punching head 79 punches the bottom 104 vertically downward, after the punching is completed, the material texture of the bottom 104 located around the punching hole 105 is vertically downward. At this time, if the hole is punched directly through the punching process, the hole is prone to cracking, which seriously affects the yield rate.
[0037] In the present invention, since the retaining ring 833 is upwardly protruding, when the bottom 104 is chamfered, the setting of the retaining ring 833 can change the texture direction of the bottom, so that the radial texture direction of the bottom is changed from a vertically downward texture direction to an axial texture direction, a horizontal or inclined texture direction, thereby reducing the material flow trend during the hole drawing process, reducing the fracture during the processing and forming process, improving the quality of the product, and reducing the production cost by reducing the defective rate.
[0038] The chamfering lower die 81 at least comprises a chamfering lower template 811 fixed on the base plate 1 and a chamfering lower support plate 812 provided on the chamfering lower template 811. The chamfering lower support plate 812 is provided with the chamfering receiving groove. A chamfering pivot block 85 is provided in the chamfering receiving groove.

The chamfering support block 82 is provided with a chamfering opening 853. The chamfering opening 853 has a chamfering spring 854 built therein. The chamfering spring 854 can abut against the chamfering pressing head 852. The chamfering support block 82 is also provided with chamfering positioning blocks 86 fixed on the chamfering lower support plate 812 on both sides. The chamfering positioning blocks 86 are provided with chamfering positioning grooves 861 adapted to the outer wall of the yoke head 102 on the yoke blank 103. The chamfering upper die 84 at least comprises a chamfering upper template 841 fixed on the top plate 2 and a chamfering upper support plate 842 fixed on the chamfering upper template 841. The chamfering upper template 842 is fixed with a chamfering fixing plate 843. The chamfering fixing plate 843 is fixed with a chamfering fixing block 844. The chamfering fixing block 844 can press on the chamfering pressing head 852. The chamfering insert 87 is fixed on the chamfering fixing block 844. This design is ingenious. The chamfer pressing head 852 presses against the upper surface of the base 104, limiting the axial and radial movement of the base 104, preventing displacement or movement during the chamfering process and improving chamfer accuracy. Furthermore, the chamfer spring 854 resets the chamfer pressing head 852, ensuring convenience during subsequent work and greatly improving work efficiency.

The hole extraction upper support plate 931 is fixed with a hole extraction rod 94 that is compatible with the socket 922. The hole extraction rod 94 can pass through the hole extraction fixing plate 932 and be inserted into the socket 922. The hole extraction carrier 92 can limit the axial movement of the bottom 104 to avoid displacement or movement during the chamfering process, thereby improving the accuracy of the hole extraction. In addition, the extraction hole insertion rod 94 is inserted into the insertion hole 922 to limit the position of the extraction hole and improve accuracy.
[0040] The two ends of the extraction hole carrier block 92 are fixed with extraction hole pivot blocks 95. The extraction hole pivot blocks 95 are provided with extraction hole pressing blocks 951 through a pin pivot.

The lower surface of the extraction hole fixing block 955 can abut against the upper surface of the extraction hole pressing head 952. The hole-drawing pressing head 952 presses against the upper surface of the base 104, limiting the axial and radial movement of the base 104, preventing displacement or movement during the hole-drawing process and improving hole-drawing accuracy. Furthermore, the hole-drawing spring 954 resets the hole-drawing pressing head 952, ensuring convenience during subsequent work and greatly improving work efficiency.
[0041] The working process of the present invention is briefly described below: Driven by the hydraulic cylinder, the top plate 2 moves toward the bottom plate 1. During the movement, the blanking assembly 3, trimming assembly 4, pressing assembly 5, stamping assembly 6, punching assembly 7, chamfering assembly 8 and punching assembly 9 respectively complete the processing of the profile.
[0042] Specifically, in the punching assembly 3, when the profile 100 moves in the slide groove 315 on the punching upper support plate 313, the top plate 2 drives the punching plate 316 to move downward, and the profile 100 is punched into a blank 101 by the punching knife. The blank 101 falls into the slide groove 315 on the punching lower support plate 311. At this time, the pushing cylinder 33 is driven to push the blank 101 into the supporting plate 35 through the push plate 34.
[0043] In the trimming assembly 4, when the top plate 2 drives the trimming upper plate 44 downward, the trimming cutter 47 can extend and be placed in the cutter groove 48, completing the trimming of the yoke head 102. In the pressing assembly 5, when the top plate 2 drives the pressing upper plate 59 downward, the force-applying ram 57 can press the horizontal surface of the yoke head 102 into an arcuate surface. In the stamping assembly 6, when the top plate 2 drives the stamping upper plate 65 downward, the stamping ram 67 can drive the blank 101 downward until it is punched into a U-shaped yoke blank 103 by the stamping groove.
[0044] In the punching assembly 7, the punching positioning block 74 limits the yoke blank 103. When the top plate 2 drives the punching upper template 76 to move downward, the punching head extends and is placed in the punching block 73 to complete the punching. After the punching is completed, the material texture direction of the bottom 104 located around the punching is vertically downward.
[0045] In the chamfering assembly 8, the chamfering support block 82 and chamfering positioning block 86 axially limit the bottom 104. The chamfering pressing head 852 presses against the upper surface of the bottom 104, limiting the axial and radial movement of the bottom 104. Simultaneously, when the chamfering upper template 841 is driven by the top plate, the chamfering insert 87 is inserted into the insert hole 832, completing the chamfering of the bottom 104. During this process, the upward protrusion of the retaining ring 833 changes the grain direction of the bottom, changing the radial grain direction of the bottom to the axial grain direction.
[0046] In the hole-drawing assembly 9, the hole-drawing pressing head 952 limits the bottom 104. At the same time, when the top plate drives the hole-drawing upper template 93 to move downward, the hole-drawing rod 94 is inserted into the socket 922 to limit the hole-drawing position and complete the hole-drawing on the bottom plate 104.
[0047] In addition, the manipulator or step-by-step transport component arranged on one side of the base plate 1 can transport the profile on the corresponding component to the adjacent component, thereby realizing fully automatic transport.
