[ background of the invention ]
In the compression molding process of the magnet, in order to ensure that the weight of the added magnetic powder is accurate when the magnet is subjected to compression molding and overcome the problem that the powder cannot be uniformly and accurately added due to other process conditions, the magnetic powder needs to be firstly compressed into magnet blanks with the same weight and the same size in a die under the condition of no magnetic field. In order to ensure that the magnetic powder can be fully oriented under the action of the orientation magnetic field, the density of the magnet is reduced as far as possible on the basis of molding, and the magnet is loose and fragile, so that the magnet can be instantly crushed and reduced into the magnetic powder to be fully oriented when being placed into a mold with the action of a curved magnetic field to be molded.
