[0029] Working principle:

[0030] Example 1

[0031] According to the shortcomings of the existing processing technology, the applicant will adopt a new processing technology, namely punching, bagging, punching, flattening, back-piercing and shaping. Among them, the bagging height: through the material volume calculation, according to the volume equality principle, calculate the material inflow volume, accurately control the bagging height, avoid the bagging being too high, the material stacking or the bagging being too low, and the R angle being not full. The flattening structure must protect the straight edge of the flip hole, and the surface must be smooth and super-coated. The back-pier limiting structure: the back-pier height is accurately controlled according to the material volume. All R corners must be sealed to prevent the material from flowing uncontrolled.

[0032] After the semi-finished workpiece 2 has undergone the first punching and wrapping processing, in order to meet the secondary punching processing requirements of the semi-finished workpiece 2, the semi-finished workpiece 2 can be placed in the clamping space and limited with the positioning hollow seat 72 inside the composite positioning component 7, and then the three inverted L-shaped pressure plates 81 in the open state are closed, and the output ends of the three inverted L-shaped pressure plates 81 drive the corresponding first electric push rods 82 to automatically clamp and limit the semi-finished workpiece 2. After completion, the second electric push rod of the lifting component 9 in the open state is closed, so that the second electric push rod drives the composite positioning component 7 to automatically move down and make way until the top surface of the composite positioning component 7 is coplanar with the top surface of the template 6. Then, the hydraulic rod 4 is started, and the hydraulic rod 4 drives the punching head 5 to automatically move down to make way for the first punching hole in the semi-finished workpiece 2 for secondary punching processing to meet the processing and use requirements.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] According to the disadvantages of the existing processing technology, the applicant will adopt a new processing technology, namely punching, stretch wrapping, punching, flattening, sizing back, and shaping. Among them, the stretch wrapping height: through the calculation of the material volume, according to the principle of equal volume, the material inflow volume is calculated, and the stretch wrapping height is accurately controlled to avoid the situation of too high stretch wrapping, material stacking or too low stretch wrapping, and the R corner is not full. The flattening structure must protect the straight edge of the flanging, and the surface is smooth and treated with a super coating. The sizing back limit structure: accurately control the sizing back height according to the material volume, and all R corners must be sealed to prevent uncontrolled material flow;

[0035] After the semi-finished workpiece 2 undergoes the first punching and stretch wrapping processes, for the secondary punching processing requirement of the semi-finished workpiece 2, the semi-finished workpiece 2 can be placed in the clamping space and sleeved and limited with the positioning hollow seat 72 inside the composite positioning component 7. Then, the three inverted L-shaped pressing plates 81 in the open state are closed, and the output ends of the three inverted L-shaped pressing plates 81 drive their respective corresponding first electric push rods 82 to automatically clamp and limit the semi-finished workpiece 2. After completion, the second electric push rod of the lifting component 9 in the open state is closed, so that the second electric push rod drives the composite positioning component 7 to automatically move down and make way until the top surface of the composite positioning component 7 is coplanar with the top surface of the template 6. Then, the hydraulic rod 4 is started, and the hydraulic rod 4 drives the punching head 5 to automatically move down to perform secondary punching processing on the first punching position in the semi-finished workpiece 2 to meet the processing and use requirements;

[0036] During the sleeving process of the semi-finished workpiece 2 and the composite positioning component 7, a self-inspection effect can be extended. Specifically, first, a standard semi-finished workpiece 2 is sleeved with the positioning hollow seat 72. During the sleeving process, one end of the three U-shaped rods 74 will be passively moved and make way under the top pressure of the semi-finished workpiece 2, and then the three pressure detectors 76 are pressed and changed. The three pressure detectors 76 output three detection information about the inner wall position of the overlapping edge making groove of the standard semi-finished workpiece 2. Taking this as a standard, during the sleeving process of the subsequent semi-finished workpiece 2 to be processed and the composite positioning component 7, similarly, one end of the three U-shaped rods 74 will be passively moved and make way under the top pressure of the semi-finished workpiece 2, and then the three pressure detectors 76 are pressed and changed. The three pressure detectors 76 output three detection information about the inner wall position of the overlapping edge making groove of the semi-finished workpiece 2. Comparing the above standard data, if the difference is large, it indicates that the overlapping edge making groove of the semi-finished workpiece 2 is poorly processed. If the difference is small, it indicates that the overlapping edge making groove of the semi-finished workpiece 2 is well processed.

Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. At the same time, in the drawings of the present utility model, the filling patterns are only for differentiating the layers and are not subject to any other limitations.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model, and the scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
