Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the pressing mechanism 40 includes a mounting plate 41, a pressing element 42, a pressing driving element (not shown), and two limiting rods 44. The mounting plate 41 is located above the base 10 and is disposed opposite the carrier plate 11. The pressing driving member is connected to the mounting plate 41. The abutting driving piece is electrically connected with the electric control mechanism. Under the control of the electric control mechanism, the abutting driving piece drives the mounting plate 41 to approach or depart from the bearing plate 11. The pressing member 42 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 41 facing the carrier plate 11. The pressing member 42 is disposed opposite to the avoiding groove 112.

Two stop rods 44 are provided on the side of the mounting plate 41 facing the carrier plate 11 and aligned with the adjustment mechanism 50. The limiting rod 44 is stopped by the adjusting mechanism 50 to limit the pressing mechanism 40 to descend continuously for the purpose of adjusting the pressing distance.
In the present embodiment, the pressing mechanism 40 further includes a guide rod 45. One end of the guide rod 45 is fixed to the side of the mounting plate 41 facing the carrier plate 11. The other end of the guide rod 45 is movably arranged in the bearing plate 11 in a penetrating way. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, guide rod 45 may be omitted.
Referring to fig. 3, the adjusting mechanism 50 includes an adjusting driving member 51, a connecting plate 52 and two base plates 53. Two backing plates 53 are slidably disposed on the carrier plate 11. The two tie plates 53 are disposed in parallel and opposite to each other to face the two stopper rods 44, respectively, for stopping the stopper rods 44. The connecting plate 52 is connected to the ends of two backing plates 53. The adjusting driving member 51 is connected to the connecting plate 52 and can drive the connecting plate 52 to move so as to drive the backing plate 53 to move.
Each of the tie plates 53 is generally elongate. The backing plate 53 is provided with a plurality of stop blocks 531 on the side facing away from the carrier plate 11. The plurality of stopper pieces 531 are gradually raised in a direction toward the connection plate 52 to form a stepped surface in multiple stages. The electronic control mechanism moves the backing plate 52 by adjusting the driving member 51 according to the bending deformation degree of the workpiece 200, so that an appropriate one of the stop blocks 531 is aligned with the abutting mechanism 40. The pressing-down distance of the pressing mechanism 40 is limited by the stopper 531, so that an appropriate pressing-down amount is applied to the workpiece 200.

The mounting bracket 511 is fixed to one side of the loading plate 11. The motor 512 is disposed at an end of the mounting frame 511 away from the loading plate 11. The motor 512 is electrically connected with the electric control mechanism. One end of the screw 513 is connected to the motor 512, and the other end of the screw 513 is inserted into the connecting plate 52. The nut 514 is connected with the screw 513 and fixed on the side of the connecting plate 52 opposite to the motor 512. The motor 512 rotates the lead screw 513 to change the connection point between the lead screw 513 and the nut 514, thereby moving the nut 514 and the connecting plate 52 along the lead screw 513. In this embodiment, at least one fixing block 5112 is further disposed on the mounting frame 511. The lead screw 513 is inserted into the fixing block 5112. The fixing block 5112 is used for supporting the lead screw 513 and limiting the connecting plate 52.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the adjustment drive 51 may be a linear drive such as a pneumatic cylinder.
In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 50 further includes a stop block 54. The stopper 54 is fixed to the carrier plate 11. One side of the limiting block 54 away from the bearing plate 11 is recessed to form a limiting groove 541. The pad plate 53 is slidably inserted into the limiting groove 541.
It is understood that in other embodiments, only one pad 53 may be provided, and the pad 53 may be directly connected to the adjustment driving member 51, as long as the mounting plate 41 is not tilted when the pressing mechanism 40 presses.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the stop bar 44 may be omitted and the stop block 531 may directly stop the mounting plate 41 or other element of the pressing mechanism 40.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the escape slot 112 may be omitted, so long as the support block 113 is high enough that the workpiece 200 will not contact the carrier plate 11 when it is deformed in the reverse direction by an overpressure.
It is understood that in other embodiments, the positioning mechanism 20 may clamp the positioning workpiece 200 in other manners, such as by elastically clamping the workpiece 200 via elastic members and clamping plates.
When using the shaping device 100 of the present invention: placing the workpiece 200 on two support blocks 113; the detection piece 30 detects the distance between the workpiece 200 and the detection piece and sends the distance to the electric control mechanism; the electric control mechanism judges the bending deformation degree of the workpiece 200 according to the distance between the workpiece 200 and the detection piece 30; the electric control mechanism moves the backing plate 52 by adjusting the driving piece 51 according to the bending deformation degree of the workpiece 200, so that the stop block 531 with the proper height is aligned with the limiting rod 44; the electric control mechanism controls the abutting driving piece to drive the mounting plate 41 to approach the bearing plate 11 until the limiting rod 44 is stopped by the stopping block 531, and at the moment, the abutting piece 42 abuts against the workpiece 200 to enable the workpiece 200 to be subjected to overvoltage and reverse deformation so as to be shaped; after shaping, the abutting mechanism 40 rises, the detection piece 30 detects the distance between the workpiece 200 and the abutting mechanism and sends the distance to the electric control mechanism, and the electric control mechanism judges whether the workpiece 200 is qualified or not according to the distance between the workpiece 200 and the detection piece 30; if the product is qualified, finishing the shaping operation; if not, repeating the shaping process until the shaping is qualified.
The shaping apparatus 100 of the present invention detects the degree of deformation of the workpiece 200 by the detector 30. The pad plate 52 is moved according to the degree of deformation of the workpiece 200 so that the stopper 531 at an appropriate height is aligned with the abutting mechanism 40. The stopper 531 limits the pressing distance of the pressing mechanism 40, thereby adjusting the pressing degree of the pressing mechanism against the workpiece 200.
In addition, other modifications within the spirit of the invention may occur to those skilled in the art, and such modifications are, of course, included within the scope of the invention as claimed.
