Therefore, the feeding and discharging of the automobile sunroof guide rail are both manual, which makes the operation steps cumbersome and the processing efficiency low. At the same time, the dynamic pressure module of the existing bending forming die adopts a monolithic structure, which is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble. Once it needs to be repaired or replaced, it must be disassembled and assembled as a whole, which is time-consuming and costly. Therefore, there is an urgent need to solve this problem. SUMMARY

[0038] The left and right widths of the discharging groove 221 are greater than the left and right lengths of the material supporting block 23.

[0039] Two guide slot holes 222 are formed in each of the buttress plates 22 and are vertically oriented and located on the left and right sides of the discharging groove 221. One guide connecting block 29 is inserted into each of the guide slot holes 222.

[0040] The two lifting cylinders 26 in each of the traction units are arranged below the two guide connecting blocks 29 on the same side of one of the buttress plates 22. The extension and retraction ends of the two lifting cylinders 26 are vertically upwardly arranged and fixed to the two guide connecting blocks 29, respectively.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] The movable pressing die 1 and the positioning die 2 are installed on the lifting mechanism and the base of the matched stamping equipment, respectively. In the initial state, the movable pressing die 1 is located above the positioning die 2. The second arc-shaped positioning faces 251 on the two side positioning blocks 25 are respectively attached to the two adjacent first arc-shaped positioning faces 231, so that one of the load petals 232 is located between the two side positioning blocks 25.

[0043] Then, the operator horizontally places the automobile sunroof rail to be processed into the positioning groove 241 on the positioning block 24 at the end of the load petal 232. Then, the operator controls the lifting mechanism in the stamping equipment to drive the movable pressing die 1 to move downward, so that the lifting block 11 is inserted between the two side positioning blocks 25 until the bottom outer wall of the lifting block 11 abuts against the top outer wall of the positioning block 24. At this time, the lower side of each movable pressing block 12 extends into the positioning groove 241, and the automobile sunroof rail is pressed downward by the arc-shaped forming surface 15, so that the automobile sunroof rail is bent and formed under the combined action of the arc-shaped positioning faces 242.

[0044] Then, the operator controls the lifting mechanism in the stamping equipment to drive the movable pressing die 1 to move upward until the lifting block 11 moves away from the two side positioning blocks 25. The operator drives the extension and retraction ends of the two lifting cylinders 26 in each of the traction units to extend outward to drive the two side positioning blocks 25 to move upward, so that the second arc-shaped positioning faces 251 on the two side positioning blocks 25 are separated from the two originally attached first arc-shaped positioning faces 231, respectively, until the lower part of each of the side positioning blocks 25 is located above the discharging groove 221 on the same side of one of the buttress plates 22.

[0045] Then, the servo motor 28 is started to rotate the rotating shaft 120 degrees, and the supporting block 23 is driven to rotate synchronously and in the same direction by the reversing shaft 27, so that a fixed supporting block 24 loaded with the automobile sunroof guide rail enters or passes through the discharging groove 221 on one of the two abutment plates 22 during the rotation of the supporting block 23. When the rotation angle of the fixed supporting block 24 exceeds 90 degrees, the automobile sunroof guide rail that has been formed by bending in the positioning groove 241 on the fixed supporting block 24 will automatically fall off due to gravity, thereby achieving automatic discharging without manual removal of the automobile sunroof guide rail.

[0046] During the above process, the adjacent supporting block 232 is rotated between the two abutment plates 22, and then the next automobile sunroof guide rail to be processed is placed horizontally in the positioning groove 241 on the fixed supporting block 24 at the end of the supporting block 232.

[0047] Finally, the extension ends of the two lifting cylinders 26 in each traction unit are driven to retract inward to drive the two side positioning blocks 25 to move downward, and then the two side positioning blocks 25 are moved to the front and rear sides of the supporting block 232, respectively, until the second arc-shaped positioning surfaces 251 on the two side positioning blocks 25 are attached to the corresponding first arc-shaped positioning surfaces 231, thereby completely preventing the supporting block 232 from swinging forward and backward, achieving positioning and anti-loosening effects. Then, the lifting mechanism in the stamping equipment is controlled to drive the movable die 1 to move downward, and then the bending and forming steps of the automobile sunroof guide rail are completed again, and the process is repeated to form a cycle.

[0048] If one of the movable blocks 12 needs to be repaired or replaced, the knob screw 13 above it can be rotated to drive the movable block 12 to move towards the opening of the groove-shaped sink cavity 111 until the movable block 12 completely leaves the groove-shaped sink cavity 111, and then the movable block 12 can be removed for repair or replacement, and the entire movable die 1 does not need to be removed, and if replacement is needed, only the damaged movable block 12 needs to be replaced, thereby saving the use cost. After repair or replacement is completed, the movable block 12 is installed at the lower end of the original knob screw 13, and then the knob screw 13 is rotated in the opposite direction to gradually move the movable block 12 into the groove-shaped sink cavity 111 until the arc-shaped pressure surface 121 on the movable block 12 is connected to the arc-shaped pressure surface 121 on one or two adjacent movable blocks 12, and finally the two jacking screws 14 are alternately rotated to press the threaded ends of each jacking screw 14 against the root outer wall of the movable block 12.

[0049] The present application can automatically send out the automobile sunroof guide rail after bending and forming, without manual taking out. Although the feeding still adopts manual operation, the unloading process is changed to automatic mode, thereby effectively simplifying the operation steps to improve the processing efficiency. Meanwhile, the dynamic pressure die 1 is changed to an assembled structure to greatly facilitate disassembly. Once it needs to be overhauled or replaced, it does not need to be disassembled as a whole. Only the required dynamic pressure block 12 needs to be disassembled, thereby saving more time and reducing the use cost.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that they can modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
