[0029] The connecting seat 3 has a third mounting area, and a third adjusting member 311 is connected to the connecting seat 3. In this embodiment, two third adjusting members 311 are preferred, and the third adjusting member 311 is a bolt. The third adjusting member 311 passes through the lower mold 2 and enters the third mounting area.

[0030] The bottom of the lower mold 2 slides in contact with the inner wall of the third installation area. The third adjusting component 311 is connected to the lower mold 2. There is a third gap between the third installation area and the lower mold 2. By rotating the third adjusting component 311, the lower mold 2 is moved to slide in the third installation area, and the width of the third gap is adjusted.

[0031] The bottom of the connecting seat 3 is detachably connected to the worktable of the external bending machine. The upper mold 1 is placed above the lower mold 2. The upper bending blade 12 and the lower bending blade 22 are provided with inclined surfaces 121, so that the two inclined surfaces 121 form blades on the upper bending blade 12 and the lower bending blade 22 respectively. The inclined surface 121 of the upper bending blade 12 is far away from the first gap, and the inclined surface 121 of the lower bending blade 22 is far away from the second gap. The upper bending blade 12 is located above the second gap, and the lower bending blade 22 is located below the first gap.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 .

[0033] Both the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are provided with arc grooves 13, which are close to the first installation area and the second installation area respectively. Both the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are provided with flat surfaces, which are close to the edge of the arc grooves 13. Both the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are embedded with first connecting posts 14. Both the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are provided with first slots 15. In this embodiment, it is preferred that there are two first slots 15 on both the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2, and the first connecting posts 14 pass through the first slots 15.

[0034] The flip plate 4 has a contact surface, an arc surface 41, a limiting edge extending from the outer side of the flip plate 4, a second connecting post 42 embedded in the flip plate 4, and a second slot 43. In this embodiment, it is preferred that there are two second slots 43 on each flip plate 4, the second connecting post 42 passes through the second slot 43, and the second connecting post 42 is close to the limiting edge.

[0035] The arc surfaces 41 of the two flip plates 4 slide in contact with the arc grooves 13 of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2, respectively. The first groove 15 is connected to the second groove 43. Tension springs 44 are connected to the flip plates 4. In this embodiment, four tension springs 44 are preferred. The tension springs 44 are placed in the first groove 15 and the second groove 43. The two ends of the tension springs 44 are connected to the first connecting post 14 and the second connecting post 42, respectively. The four tension springs 44 pull the two flip plates 4 to slide and rotate on the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2, respectively, and the limiting edge touches the plane.

By removing the first adjusting member 111, the second adjusting member 211, and the third adjusting member 311, increasing or decreasing the number of shims 5 and placing them in the first gap, the second gap, and the third gap, and then reinstalling the first adjusting member 111, the second adjusting member 211, and the third adjusting member 311, the width of the first gap, the second gap, and the third gap can be adjusted.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-6 .

[0038] During processing:

[0039] The sheet metal 6 is placed between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2, with the two bends of the sheet metal 6 aligned with the first gap and the second gap. The stamping assembly of the external bending machine pushes the upper mold 1 down, and the blades of the upper bending blade 12 and the lower bending blade 22 push the two bends of the sheet metal 6 into the first gap and the second gap, respectively, so that the upper bending blade 12 and the lower bending blade 22 stamp out two bends on the sheet metal 6. At the same time, the contact surfaces of the two flipping plates 4 touch the sheet metal 6, the flipping plates 4 of the upper mold 1 push the sheet metal 6 to continue bending and make the sheet metal 6 fit against the inclined surface 121 of the lower bending blade 22, and the flipping plates 4 of the lower mold 2 push the sheet metal 6 to continue bending and make the sheet metal 6 fit against the inclined surface 121 of the lower bending blade 22, thus completing the bending of the sheet metal 6.

[0040] When the flipping plate 4 pushes the sheet 6 to bend, the sheet 6 pushes the arc surfaces 41 of the two flipping plates 4 to slide in the arc grooves 13 that contact them, allowing the two flipping plates 4 to rotate at a certain angle on the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 respectively. This transforms the moving friction between the sheet 6 and the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 during bending into the sliding of the two flipping plates 4 on the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 respectively, greatly reducing the friction amplitude between the sheet 6 and the flipping plates 4 during bending. This avoids friction between the contact plate and the sheet 6, preventing scratches from being left on the sheet 6 and reducing the subsequent sanding process of the sheet 6. After the bending is completed, the stamping component of the external bending machine pulls the upper mold 1 to rise, and the worker removes the bent sheet 6. The four tension springs 44 pull the two flipping plates 4 to slide and rotate back on the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 respectively, so that the worker only needs to put the sheet 6 to be processed again to perform bending processing, which greatly improves the processing efficiency of the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2.

[0041] By changing the number of shims 5, the widths of the first gap, the second gap, and the third gap are adjusted, thereby changing the distance between the two bends after the plate 6 is bent; by replacing the upper bending blade 12 with a larger or smaller angle on the inclined plane 121, and replacing the lower bending blade 22 with a larger or smaller angle on the inclined plane 121, the angles of the two bends after the plate 6 is bent are changed.

[0042] This utility model provides a die for bending Z-shaped sheet metal. The upper die is connected to the stamping assembly of an external bending machine. The connecting seat is installed on the worktable of the external bending machine. The sheet metal is placed between the upper die and the lower die. The stamping assembly of the external bending machine pushes the upper die down. The upper bending cutter pushes the sheet metal into the second gap, and the lower bending cutter pushes the sheet metal into the first gap, so that both the upper and lower bending cutters stamp out two bends on the sheet metal. At the same time, the upper die pushes the sheet metal to continuously bend and make the sheet metal conform to the inclined surface of the lower bending cutter, and the lower die pushes the sheet metal to continuously bend and make the sheet metal conform to the inclined surface of the upper bending cutter, so as to complete the processing of Z-shaped or two bends of the sheet metal in a single stamping.

[0043] By rotating the first, second, and third adjusting components, the widths of the first, second, and third gaps can be adjusted, allowing the upper and lower dies to bend the sheet metal into two bends of different sizes and specifications, and also allowing the upper and lower dies to adapt to sheet metal of different thicknesses.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
