[0021] The controller 39 is electrically connected with the hydraulic cylinder 6, the proximity switch 20, the test electromagnet 21 and the driving motor 31 respectively.

[0022] A process method of a welding nut forming die, the steps are as follows: Step one: the sheared cylindrical blank is placed into the upper loading slot 37 and onto the upper wall of the loading magnetic plate 35 inside the upper loading cylinder 36. In the initial state, the rubber sleeve 28 is coaxially and vertically arranged with the guide cylinder 9. The push magnet 34 is electrified to generate magnetism. The push magnet 34 is arranged with the same polarity as the loading magnetic plate 35. The push magnet 34 is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom of the upper loading cylinder 36 and pushes the loading magnetic plate 35 through repulsion. The loading magnetic plate 35 slides upwards along the upper loading cylinder 36 to lift the bottom wall of the cylindrical blank to a position level with the bottom wall of the rubber sleeve 28. The driving motor 31 drives the driving gear 32 to rotate. The driving gear 32 is engaged with the transmission tooth belt 27. The driving gear 32 drives the transmission tooth belt 27 to rotate along the oval frame 25. The transmission tooth belt 27 drives the cylindrical blank to move towards the first station through the rubber sleeve 28. The cylindrical blank slides along the upper wall of the supporting plate 24 under the drive of the transmission tooth belt 27 and enters the first group of guide cylinders 9 above the supporting rod 14. The power end of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is in a shortened state. The upper die 7 and the lower die assembly 8 are at the longest distance. At this time, the test magnet 21 is electrified to generate magnetism. The test magnet 21 is arranged with the same polarity as the magnetic ring block 12. The test magnet 21 is fixed to the top side wall of the test column 18 and pushes the magnetic ring block 12 through repulsion. The magnetic ring block 12 drives the cylindrical blank to rise to the top position of the rubber sleeve 28 through the supporting rod 14. The magnetic ring block 12 is attached to the bottom wall of the limiting ring block 13 above it. The power end of the hydraulic cylinder 6 is elongated to drive the upper die 7 to descend. The cylindrical blank enters the inside of the upper die 7. The upper die 7 continuously presses the cylindrical blank downward. The cylindrical blank presses the supporting rod 14 and the magnetic ring block 12 into the guide cylinder 9 by using the deformation characteristics of the return spring 16. The magnetic ring block 12 stops moving downward under the block of the limiting ring block 13 below it. The supporting rod 14 continues to descend to drive the measuring block 15 to attach to the upper wall of the test column 18. The upper die 7 and the lower die 10 extrude the cylindrical blank.

The driving motor 31 drives the driving gear 32 to rotate through the power end. The driving gear 32 drives the transmission belt 27 to rotate around the oval frame 25. The transmission belt 27 drives the cylindrical blank processed in the first process to move to the second process. The newly added cylindrical blank enters the first process. The cylindrical blank is initially formed along the upper wall of the supporting plate 24 and enters the second process. The newly added cylindrical blank and the cylindrical blank are respectively attached to the upper wall of the supporting plate 24. The test electromagnet 21 generates a magnetic force to push the magnetic ring block 12. The magnetic ring block 12 slides along the inner wall of the guide cylinder 9 and rises to the bottom wall of the limiting ring block 13. The magnetic ring block 12 drives the cylindrical blank to the top of the rubber sleeve 28 through the reset spring 16. The two hydraulic cylinders 6 are started simultaneously to drive the upper die 7 to process the new cylindrical blank and the cylindrical blank simultaneously. Step three: According to the above operation, after the cylindrical blank is processed by the upper die 7 and the lower die 10, the upper part and the bottom part of the cylindrical blank form an upper hole and a bottom hole. After the newly added cylindrical blank is processed by the upper die 7 and the lower die 10, the top and the bottom form a round corner. Step four: According to the above operation, the twice cold heading formed cylindrical blank is moved to the third process, and the initially formed cylindrical blank is moved to the second process. Step five: According to the above operation, the upper part and the bottom part of the twice cold heading formed cylindrical blank are perforated, and the cylindrical blank is pressed. At the same time, a new group of cylindrical blanks enters the first process for initial forming. Step six: According to the above operation, the cylindrical blank is brought into the upper part of the discharging cylinder 38 under the driving of the transmission belt 27. The cylindrical blank slides along the discharging cylinder 38 and falls, completing the multi-process forming operation of the cylindrical blank.
