The embodiment of FIG. 11 will be described.
The chamfer of the narrowed part of the chamfer 4 is about 3 times the thickness of the base plate 1.
I'm doing 1. A rectangular guide plate 42 having substantially the same size as the mold 4 and the pressing plate 19 is provided on the upper surface of the mold 4. The guide plate 42 has substantially the same thickness as the base plate 1 and is made of a material having heat resistance, rigidity and toughness (for example, polyacetal). In addition, a hole 43 slightly larger than the convex portion 5 is provided in the central portion of the guide plate 42. 44 is a drawn product.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. First, when the clip 36 holds the upper end portion of the base plate 1 formed into a flat plate in advance and then air is supplied from the air supply portion 34, in association with this, the clip mounting body 35 moves down the rodless cylinder 31. The blank 1 is placed in the heating furnace.
When the supply of air is stopped when the base plate 1 reaches the predetermined position of the heating furnace 26, the clip mounting body 35 stops its descending and keeps that position. Then, the base plate 1 is heated to about 154 ° C. at the center of the plate thickness by the heater 27 in the heating furnace.

After that, when the temperature is reached, when air is supplied from the air supply unit, the clip mounting body 35 moves up the rodless cylinder 31, and in this connection, the clip support body 37 and the clip 36 are used. The base plate 1 also rises. Then, when the air supply is stopped when the clip attachment body 35 reaches the predetermined position, the rise of the base plate 1 is stopped.

Next, when air is supplied from the air supply part 32, the vertical frame mounting plate 33 is moved to the rodless cylinder 29.
To move horizontally. Therefore, this vertical frame mounting plate 3
Since the vertical frame 30 attached to 3 moves in the same direction as that, the heated blank 1 held by the clip 36 also moves in the same direction as the vertical frame 30. When the supply of air is stopped when the vertical frame mounting plate 33 reaches a predetermined position, the vertical frame mounting plate 33 also stops moving. Next, when air is supplied from the air supply unit 34, the clip mounting plate 35 will move to the rodless cylinder 3
1 is lowered and the blank 1 is put between the two molds 3 and 4 facing each other with a space in the lateral direction. Then, when the air supply is stopped when the base plate 1 reaches a predetermined position, the clip mounting body 35
Has stopped descending and is waiting at that position.

Subsequently, when air is supplied to the cylinder 24, the piston 25 moves at a speed of about 0.5 to 2 m / sec to move the movable plate 12 toward the mold 4. The mold 3, the pressing plate 19 and the like are moved in the same direction. After a predetermined time, the pressing plate 19 and the surface 2 of the mold 3 hit the blank plate 1 in the up-down direction and push it to the other mold 4 side. afterwards,
The holding plate 19 and the surface 2 of the mold 4 sandwich the end of the blank plate 1, but the mold 3 moves further toward the mold 4 through the movable plate 12 and passes through the hole 22 to the hole 6 of the mold 4. Intrude and mold. Since the piston 17 slides on the air cylinder 16, it does not hinder the molding operation. The mold clamping pressure is set to a projected unit area of the molded product of 2 to 10 ton / m.

Therefore, since one side of the heated base plate 1 is held by the clip and supported substantially vertically, there is no bulge or dent on the wide side surface even if the base plate 1 softened by heating is formed. . Since the heated base plate 1 does not contact the molds 3 and 4 until the mold clamping is started, the non-defective product can be molded without scratching the wide surface. Since the time from taking out the raw sheet 1 from the heating furnace 26 to forming can be shortened, the temperature drop of the raw sheet 1 is reduced. As a result, the heating temperature can be set low if the processing temperature is kept constant.
The occurrence of foaming can be prevented without pre-drying.

Then, the width (drawing depth) h of the convex portion 5 of the mold 3
Is smaller than the width (depth) H of the hole 6, the shape of the hole 6 of the mold 4 is substantially the same in the width direction, and the size of the hole 6 is smaller than the outer diameter of the mold 3 by the plate thickness of the blank 1. Since it is provided about twice as large as the above, processing of the mold 4 becomes easy. Since the blank plate 1 does not contact the inner surface of the hole 6 of the mold 4, it is not necessary to finish the inner surface of the hole 6 of the mold 4 with high accuracy.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the resin plate 7 is attached to each surface of the push plate 19 and the mold 4 for holding the base plate 1 to improve the flow of the molded product 23 from the flange portion to the side surface. Therefore, the shape accuracy can be improved. Since the resin plate 7 has a low heat transfer coefficient, the temperature decrease of the heated base plate 1 is reduced and the working is facilitated. Further, if the resin plate 7 is formed in an arcuate shape, it is not necessary to provide the corners of the mold 4 in an arc shape, and since the resin plate 7 can be made of wood, the mold can be easily manufactured. .

Then, when the heated base plate 1 is clamped by the holding plate 19 and the mold 4, a magnet chuck 38 is provided to prevent the holding plate 19 from retracting (escaping), as shown in FIG. When the convex portion 5 is pushed into the base plate 1, the problem that the flange portion of the molded product rises due to a large reaction force and the pressing plate 19 is retracted to try to rise is improved. That is, it is possible to form a good product by preventing the bulge on the bottom surface of the molded product and the waviness of the flange portion.

By connecting the outer plate 13 and the plate 14 with the cylinder case of the air cylinder 16, a compressive load can be received by this cylinder case. Therefore, in the initial stage of the mold clamping process, that is, the heated blank plate 1 is pressed onto the holding plate 1.
A large crease holding force can be obtained when clamped by 9 and the mold 4, so that the bulge of the central part of the molded product can be prevented and another spacer block is provided between the outer plate 13 and the plate 14. Need not be provided. The outer plate 1
By providing a supporting member such as a turnbuckle 15 at the central portion of the plate 3 and the plate 14, it is possible to prevent the bending with respect to the compressive load.

The final shape of the product is 100 × 150 ×
When experimented with a rectangle of 30 (depth) × 3 (plate thickness) mm (preheating temperature 160 ° C, wrinkle holding force 30 kg, drawing force 3
00 kg, blank shape 180 × 210 mm), without the guide plate, the depth could be narrowed down to 15 mm, but with the configuration of FIG. 11, the depth could be narrowed down to 30 mm.
