Therefore, the distortion remaining in the molding part 50b can be further sufficiently removed. That is, according to such a configuration, the separator 51 can be molded with higher accuracy.
- the second molding step is described in “S107” in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5..., The second mold at the center is moved toward the first mold, and the base material is moved by the first mold and the second mold. And “..., The second mold at both ends is moved toward the first mold, and the substrate is sandwiched between the first mold and the second mold” described in S108.
- the second molded surface 50b2 side of the molded part 50b is pressed sequentially from one end to the other end, for example. It can be configured. That is, the distortion in the molding part 50b can be removed while moving from one end to the other end, for example. Therefore, according to such a configuration, the residual strain can be sufficiently removed in the entire region of the molded part 50b.
- the second mold 21 located outward from the center can be configured to be pressed against the second molding surface 50b2 side of the separator substrate 50.
- the distortion remaining on the outer peripheral edge of the molding part 50b is effectively pushed out by pressing the second molding surface 50b2 side of the molding part 50b in order from the center to the outside. Can be removed. Therefore, according to such a configuration, the distortion remaining on the outer peripheral edge of the molded part 50b can be effectively removed.
- the second mold 21 pressed from the second molding surface 50 b 2 side with respect to the separator substrate 50 is separated from the separator substrate 50, and the first In the 2 molding step, the second mold 21 that is separated from the separator substrate 50 can be pressed against the second molding surface 50b2 side of the separator substrate 50.
- the first molding step corresponds to “the second mold 21 that has been shockedly pressed from the base material moves away from the base material” described in S104 of the flowchart shown in FIG.
- the second molding step corresponds to S107 and S108.
- the molding apparatus 1 for the separator 51 after the second mold 21 pressed from the second molding surface 50b2 side with respect to the separator substrate 50 is separated from the separator substrate 50 in the control unit 30, It can be set as the structure which presses the 2nd type
- control unit 30 can be configured to cause the second mold 21 separated from the separator base material 50 to be pressed by applying an impact to the second molding surface 50b2. .
- the second mold 21 is in contact with the separator base material 50 as compared with a case where the second mold 21 is pressed without applying an impact to the second molding surface 50b2 side. After the 21 is greatly accelerated in the separated space, it can be shockedly pressed against the second molding surface 50b2. Therefore, the second mold 21 can be pressed against the second molding surface 50b2 side of the separator substrate 50 while giving a very large impact. That is, the distortion remaining in the molded part 50b can be removed very effectively. Therefore, the separator 51 can be molded with very high accuracy.
- the second mold 21 in the second molding step, is impacted on the second molding surface 50b2 side by igniting the gas mixture G in the combustion chamber 29 to explode and expand. It demonstrated as a structure to press.
- the present invention is not limited to such a configuration.
- the second mold 21 may be pressed against the second molding surface 50b2 by injecting and discharging water into a region corresponding to the combustion chamber 29. Good.
- the second mold 21 may be driven by, for example, an electric motor or a hydraulic cylinder and pressed against the second molding surface 50b2.
