However, the manufacturing of trough-shaped bulkheads usually involves pressing flat plates into the required trough shape. However, depending on the characteristics of different ship types and the location where they are used, the depth of the trough-shaped bulkheads varies. This results in high manufacturing costs and inconvenience in outsourcing the manufacturing process. Purchasing different molds also incurs considerable costs, and these molds are often not used after one use, leading to resource waste. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Step 5: The drive device is used to horizontally move the bulkhead plate to one workstation position so that the center line of the next groove of the bulkhead plate is aligned with the center line of the upper mold and the center line of the lower mold respectively. Then the hydraulic press is used to press and form the groove. The operation is repeated until all the grooves of the bulkhead plate are pressed and formed into a grooved bulkhead.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the groove includes a bottom plate, side walls and a top plate, two side walls are provided and respectively connected to both sides of the bottom plate, two top plates are provided and respectively connected to the top of one of the side walls, and the bottom plate and the top plate are parallel.

[0025] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a method for forming a trough-shaped bulkhead. The trough-shaped bulkhead 1 is composed of multiple grooves 2. A forming device is used to form the trough-shaped bulkhead 1 by forming the bulkhead sheet 3. The forming device includes a hydraulic press, an upper mold 4, a lower mold 5, and a drive device for moving the bulkhead sheet 3. The hydraulic press is preferably an oil press. The upper mold 4 is detachably mounted on the upper worktable of the hydraulic press, and the lower mold 5 is detachably mounted on the lower worktable of the hydraulic press. The upper mold 4 is provided with a protrusion 41 that matches the top surface shape of one of the grooves 2, and the lower mold 5 is provided with a groove 51 that matches the bottom surface shape of one of the grooves 2.
[0028] The forming method for the trough-shaped bulkhead includes the following steps:
[0029] Step 1: According to the unfolded drawing of the trough-shaped bulkhead 1 model, draw the center line corresponding to each trough 2 on the bulkhead plate 3. Specifically, the center line 31 of each trough on the bulkhead plate 3 is the powder spraying line.
[0030] Step 2: Draw the center line on the upper mold 4 and install the upper mold 4 on the upper worktable of the hydraulic press; draw the center line on the lower mold 5 and install the lower mold 5 on the lower worktable of the hydraulic press; wherein, the order of Step 1 and Step 2 is not important.
[0031] Step 3: Place the bulkhead plate 3 from Step 1 horizontally on the lower mold 5;
[0032] Step 4: The bulkhead plate 3 is horizontally moved by the drive device so that the center line of the first groove 2 of the bulkhead plate 3 is aligned with the center line 42 of the upper mold and the center line 52 of the lower mold respectively. Then the hydraulic press is used to form the groove 2.
[0033] Step 5: The drive device horizontally moves the bulkhead plate 3 to one workstation position so that the center line of the next groove 2 of the bulkhead plate 3 is aligned with the center line 42 of the upper mold and the center line 52 of the lower mold, respectively. Then, the hydraulic press performs pressing to form the groove 2. This operation is repeated until all the grooves 2 of the bulkhead plate 3 are pressed to form the grooved bulkhead 1. When all the grooves 2 of the grooved bulkhead 1 are not of the same specification, the operator needs to change the upper mold 4 and lower mold 5 of the hydraulic press when pressing to the corresponding different groove 2 structural positions. This allows for pressing of the grooved bulkhead 1 according to requirements, providing high operational flexibility.
[0034] This invention uses a single-groove pressing method to press the bulkhead plate 3, which effectively reduces mold costs. Moreover, by aligning the center line 31 of the groove on the bulkhead plate 3 with the center line 42 of the upper mold and the center line 52 of the lower mold, high pressing accuracy is ensured and the pressing operation is simple. The upper mold 4 and the lower mold 5 on the hydraulic press can be changed according to the groove 2 structure of different bulkhead 1 to quickly press and form the required different groove 2 structures, which is highly operable and flexible.
[0035] For example, the groove 2 includes a bottom plate 21, side walls 22 and a top plate 23. There are two side walls 22 and they are respectively connected to both sides of the bottom plate 21. There are two top plates 23 and they are respectively connected to the top of one side wall 22. Specifically, the length of two adjacent top plates 23 is equal to the length of the bottom plate 21. The bottom plate 21 and the top plate 23 are parallel, which ensures that a grooved bulkhead 1 with alternating positive and negative grooved structures can be pressed out.
[0036] For example, in step one, the starting line 32 and the ending line of the two sides of the corresponding corner of each groove 2 are drawn on the bulkhead plate 3. The starting line 32 and the ending line 33 of the corner are preferably powder spraying lines. The starting line 32 and the ending line 33 of the corner can be used to easily check the position accuracy of the groove 2 after forming.
[0037] For example, the driving device includes a crane and a steel wire rope connected to the crane. In step four, the steel wire rope is connected to one side of the bulkhead plate 3. The crane drives the steel wire rope to pull the bulkhead plate 3 horizontally, so that the center line corresponding to the first groove 2 at any end of the bulkhead plate 3 is aligned with the center line 42 of the upper mold and the center line 52 of the lower mold. Then, the hydraulic press is started, the upper mold 4 descends and closes with the lower mold 5 to perform a forming process on the bulkhead plate 3. Preferably, the forming device is also provided with a support platform for supporting the bulkhead plate 3, thus ensuring the stability of the bulkhead plate 3 during the forming process.
[0038] For example, the molding method of the trough-shaped bulkhead further includes step six, comparing and checking the molded trough-shaped bulkhead 1 with the theoretical trough-shaped bulkhead 1 model to ensure that the total length of the molded trough-shaped bulkhead 1 is the same as the total length of the theoretical trough-shaped bulkhead 1 model, and marking the distance between the left and right ends of each groove 2 and its center line 31, so as to facilitate subsequent checks on the accuracy of molding.
[0039] For example, in step two, the center line on the protrusion of the upper mold 4 is located at the front end and rear end of the protrusion of the upper mold 4 and the front end face and rear end face of the protrusion of the upper mold 4, and the center line on the groove of the lower mold 5 is located at the front end and rear end of the groove of the lower mold 5 and the front end face and rear end face of the groove of the lower mold 5. This allows the operator to ensure that the positions of the upper mold 4, the lower mold 5 and the bulkhead plate 3 are accurately corresponding during the pressing process, thus ensuring the accuracy of the pressing.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
