[0027] The lower die head 5 includes a base die 10 and a pair of push dies 11. A pair of sliding holes 12 are opened in the base die 10. The push dies 11 are slidably set in the sliding holes 12. A driving source 13 is also arranged inside the base die 10. The driving source 13 drives the push dies 11 to be exposed or retracted into the base die 10. When the push die 11 is retracted into the sliding hole 12, the end face of the push die 11 and the side face of the end die form a molding slope 9. When the push die 11 is exposed from the sliding hole 12, the upper end face of the push die 11 forms a reference surface for placing the wheel hub blank 90, so that the wheel hub blank 90 can be placed stably, preventing the wheel hub blank 90 from being skewed and transitioned to cause defective products, thereby increasing the yield rate.

[0028] The driving source 13 includes an inclined pull block 14 and an oil cylinder 15. A T-shaped inclined block 16 is provided on the side of the inclined pull block 14. A T-shaped inclined groove 17 is provided at the tail of the push die 11. The T-shaped inclined block 16 is inserted into the T-shaped inclined groove 17.
