[0009] Preferably, the device further includes a positioning pin; pin holes are opened on both the die body and the gland, and the positioning pin passes through the ear hole and the pin hole to realize the positioning of the part.

[0010] Preferably, the device further includes:

[0011] A hydraulic press for providing pressure to the gland; wherein, the gland is installed on the hydraulic press, and the extrusion rod presses the part downward along with the gland to form the flanging hole to be formed in place.

[0012] Preferably, the extrusion rod is a three-section round rod, the outer diameter of the lower small round rod is the same as the inner diameter of the flanging hole to be formed in the part, the middle is in interference fit with the second through hole, and the upper end is larger than the second through hole and is placed on the upper plane of the gland.

[0013] Preferably, a lifting ring hole is provided at the upper end of the extrusion rod for mold lifting.

[0014] Preferably, the material of the extrusion rod is LD steel

[0015] The beneficial technical effects of this application are as follows:

[0016] The present utility model provides a device for forming a flanging hole on a formed sheet metal. Its structure is simple.
