The torsion bending mechanism according to claim 2, wherein a second raised chuck is arranged on one side of the bending member close to the material clamping member, and the second chuck is provided with the clamping groove; and a fine adjustment bolt is arranged on the second chuck along the Z-axis direction, the bottom of the fine adjustment bolt extends into the clamping groove, and the fine adjustment bolt is screwed downwards to clamp a workpiece in the clamping groove.

7. The torsional bending mechanism of claim 2, wherein the torsional bending module further comprises a second lifting driving member for driving the bending member to move up or down; the second lifting driving piece is vertically fixed on the bottom plate, and the output end of the second lifting driving piece is provided with the rotary driving piece.

8. The torsion bending mechanism according to claim 2, wherein a pair of support uprights are further mounted on the base plate, and a vertical second guide rail is mounted on the support uprights; the rotary driving piece is installed on the motor base, guide blocks matched with the second guide rails are installed on two side walls of the motor base, and the guide blocks are matched with the second guide rails to guide the lifting motion of the motor base.

9. The torsion bending mechanism according to claim 8, wherein an upper limit block is installed on the top of the support stand, a lower limit block is installed on the side wall of the motor base, and the upper limit block is abutted to the lower limit block to physically limit the upward stroke of the motor base.

10. A torsional bending method of a wiper blade connecting rod, which is implemented by using the torsional bending mechanism of any one of claims 2 to 9, and comprises the following steps:

the piston rod of the first lifting driving piece horizontally retracts inwards along the Y-axis direction to drive the guide seat to move forwards relative to the clamping base, so that the roller moves along the guide hole to lift the clamping piece, and the clamping piece clamps the clamping part of the workpiece;

the twisting module comprises a second lifting driving piece for driving the bending piece to go up or down, the second lifting driving piece lifts up the rotary driving piece, and the telescopic driving piece drives the bending piece to move along the X axis so that a workpiece is horizontally inserted into a clamping groove of the bending piece;

the conveying module acts to transfer the workpiece to the next process.
