[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a sheet metal positioning forming tool comprises a base 1, a movable positioning block 2, a bolt 3, a stopper 4, a fixed column 5, a rotating column 6 and a transition connection block 7. The base 1 is equipped with a movable positioning block 2, a bolt 3, a stopper 4, and a fixed column 5, and the fixed column 5 is connected to the rotating column 6 through a transition connection block 7.

[0025] The base is a board with two concentric ear plates and a plurality of threaded holes; the threaded holes are arranged in groups of two, symmetrically along the length direction of the base plate, and the number of threaded holes is selected according to actual needs. In this embodiment, two groups of threaded holes are used, and the four screw holes in the length direction divide the board equally, accounting for about one-fifth of the length of the board; and one-third of the distance from the edge in the width direction of the base plate. The concentric ear plates are symmetrically arranged along one side of the length direction of the base, and are used to install and fix the column.

[0026] The positioning movable block is a long strip with a U-shaped groove, which is fixed to the base with bolts; in this example, since the bolts are M8, according to their specifications, the dimensions of the U-shaped groove are 100 mm in length and 10 mm in width.

[0027] Since the size of the workpiece changes after each molding, the movable positioning block must be replaced and the new position must be determined for repositioning during the next molding. Therefore, the number of blocks depends on the number of times the product needs to be molded. In this embodiment, there are two blocks, which are rectangular blocks of different lengths and can be used for positioning during part molding. The length of the block is based on not interfering with the parts. If it is too long, the parts cannot be placed in. If it is too short, the contact area is small and the positioning is inaccurate. Generally, it is not less than 50mm.

[0028] The fixed column and the rotating column are both made of round steel, and the fixed column cooperates with the concentric ear plates of the base; the fixed column includes a column and step surfaces symmetrically arranged at both ends of the column. When the two ends of the column pass through the concentric ear plates, they are fastened to the base through the step surfaces.

[0029] The rotating cylinder is similar to the fixed cylinder and cooperates with the transition connection block; the rotating cylinder includes a shaft body, and both ends of the shaft body are connected with extension sections, and the diameter of the extension sections is smaller than the diameter of the shaft body; the ends of the extension sections are provided with a second step surface for fixedly installing the rotating body; a handle for manual operation is welded and fixed in the middle position of the shaft body.

[0030] The shape of the transition connection block is similar to a chain joint, and two light holes are processed on it. The holes are used to install the fixed column and the rotating column respectively. The diameters of the two light holes can be consistent or inconsistent. In this embodiment, the hole diameters are consistent.

[0031] When using, Figures 7 to 10 As shown, a method for using a sheet metal positioning and forming tool comprises the following steps:

[0032] Step 1, insert the workpiece to be processed between the rotating cylinder and the fixed cylinder, and adjust the bolts according to the size of the workpiece to adjust the position of the movable positioning block so that the bottom of the workpiece abuts against the top of the movable positioning block;

[0033] Step 2: Hold the handle and rotate the rotating cylinder. The workpiece is squeezed between the two cylinders and changes its shape through the movement of the rotating cylinder. At this time, the first bending is completed;

[0034] Step 3, adjust the bolt again to move the movable positioning block along the width direction of the base until the top of the U-shaped groove of the movable positioning block is engaged with the bolt, and after folding the workpiece, it is stuck between the two blocks, and the top is abutted against the first block for positioning, and the handle is operated again. At this time, the rotating column is fixed and only rotated to complete the second bending;

[0035] Step 4: Perform a third bend to complete the forming of the part.

[0036] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may also have other implementations. Any technical solution formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope required by the present invention.
