In the initial state, the working end of the rotary cutting mechanism 8 is away from the mold 2 and ready for loading. The worker controls the working end of the covering mechanism 3 to move away from the mold 2 through the controller to remove the sealing effect on the top end of the mold 2. The working personnel also send signals to the opposite displacement driving mechanism 4 through the controller, and the opposite displacement driving mechanism 4 drives the pair of sliding seats 5 to drive the material conveying barrel 6 and the material pushing mechanism 7 which are fixed on the sliding seats 5 to move in the direction away from the die 2 together after receiving the signals, so that a space is reserved for the working personnel to feed materials. The operator places the tube blank in the mould 2 with only vertical freedom. Then the working personnel sends a signal to the covering mechanism 3 through the controller, and the covering mechanism 3 drives the working end to do horizontal movement to cover the top end of the mould 2 after receiving the signal, so as to limit the last degree of freedom of the tube blank and ensure that the tube blank is completely fixed in the mould 2. Then the controller sends a signal to the opposite displacement driving mechanism 4, and the opposite displacement driving mechanism 4 drives the pair of sliding seats 5 to carry the material conveying cylinder 6 filled with the solid particles and the material pushing mechanism 7 to be mutually centralized after receiving the signal. The front ends of a pair of material conveying cylinders 6 are synchronously inserted into the tube blank and finally abut against each other at the symmetrical section of the tube blank. Then the operator sends a signal to the pushing mechanism 7 through the controller, and after receiving the signal, the pushing mechanism 7 makes a linear motion at the working end in the material conveying cylinder 6 to push the solid particles in the material conveying cylinder 6 to the output end of the material conveying cylinder 6 so that the solid particles start to expand outwards from the output end of the material conveying cylinder 6 to extrude the tube blank. Because the central position of the tube blank is positioned at the arc-shaped sunken part of the mould 2 for forming the axle housing lute-shaped bag, the central position of the tube blank is stretched towards the two sides into the lute-shaped bag. Then the staff sends the signal to the covering mechanism 3, the opposite displacement driving mechanism 4 and the sliding seat 5 through the controller, and the working end of the covering mechanism 3 moves backwards after receiving the signal, so that the upper end of the die 2 is opened. The opposite displacement driving mechanism 4 and the sliding seat 5 move backwards and reset after receiving signals. Then, the operator sends a signal to the rotary cutting mechanism 8 through the controller, and the rotary cutting mechanism 8 firstly moves in the direction close to the workbench 1 after receiving the signal to enable the working end to move above the workpiece. And then the rotary cutting mechanism 8 carries out rotary cutting operation on the upper end of the workpiece to form a speed reducer shell mounting hole at the upper end of the workpiece. After cutting, the rotary cutting mechanism 8 resets, the controller sends a signal to the ejection mechanism 9, and the working end of the ejection mechanism 9 ascends to jack up the workpiece in the die 2 after receiving the signal, so that the blanking of workers is facilitated.

The grooves 2a are used to form the desired workpiece. When the workers feed, the tube blank is placed into the groove 2a, and two ends of the tube blank are tightly abutted against the positioning surfaces 2b, so that all degrees of freedom in the horizontal direction are limited. The working end of the ejection mechanism 9 can extend into the groove 2a to eject the workpiece processed in the groove 2a by arranging the through hole 2 c. The position of the working end of the ejection mechanism 9 is positioned by arranging the step surface 2d, so that the top surface of the working end of the ejection mechanism 9 is flush with the bottom surface of the groove 2a in the non-working state, and the top end of the working end of the ejection mechanism 9 is the same as the shape of the through hole 2c so as to form a complete plane with the through hole.
