Detailed Implementation

[0040] The 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 should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a first aspect of the present invention provides a processing apparatus for arc-shaped components, comprising:

[0042] The fixed plate 100 is provided with a first locking part 102, a second locking part 104 and a clamping part. The first locking part 102 is used to lock the first end of the workpiece to be processed, the second locking part 104 is used to lock the second end of the workpiece to be processed, and the clamping part is used to be clamped in the fixed position.

[0043] Rotate the handle 106, which is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 100. Along the length of the handle 106, a clamping component 108 is movably disposed on the handle 106. When one end of the workpiece is connected to the first locking part 102 or the second locking part 104, the side of the clamping component 108 facing the fixed plate 100 is adapted to clamp the workpiece with the fixed plate 100.

[0044] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the processing apparatus for arc-shaped components ensures the stability and positional accuracy of the workpiece during processing by locking the two ends of the workpiece with the first locking part 102 and the second locking part 104, and by the combined action of the clamping assembly 108 and the fixed plate 100, thereby greatly improving the processing accuracy. The design of the rotating handle 106 and the movable clamping assembly 108 allows the operator to flexibly adjust according to the shape and size of the workpiece, adapting to the processing needs of arc-shaped components of different sizes. Simply by operating the rotating handle 106, the clamping assembly 108 causes the workpiece to be formed along the edge of the fixed plate 100, making the operation simple and quick. Due to the compact structure and strong functionality of the entire device, the operator can complete the processing task of arc-shaped components more quickly and accurately, thereby improving the overall processing efficiency. The clamping part fixes the device in a fixed position, and the stabilizing effect of the locking part and the clamping assembly 108 effectively prevents shaking or displacement that may occur during processing, ensuring the safety of the operator.

[0045] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 3 The processing apparatus for arc-shaped components according to the first aspect of the present invention mainly consists of two parts: a fixed disk 100 and a rotating handle 106.

[0046] The fixed plate 100 serves as the foundation of the entire device, and is provided with a first locking part 102, a second locking part 104, and a clamping part. It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the invention, the edge of the fixed plate 100 has a certain arc angle, for example, the arc segment can be 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 270 degrees.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, the arc segment is 270 degrees, that is, the line connecting the center of the first locking part 102 and the center of the fixed disk 100 and the line connecting the center of the second locking part 104 and the center of the fixed disk 100 are perpendicular to each other.

[0048] The first locking part 102 and the second locking part 104 are located at opposite ends of the fixed plate 100, and their main function is to lock the two ends of the arc-shaped component to be processed. This design ensures the stability and positional accuracy of the workpiece during processing. During the initial forming, the first end of the workpiece is locked to the first locking part 102. After the initial forming is completed, the second end of the workpiece is locked to the second locking part 104 to complete the secondary forming.

[0049] The clamping part is located at a suitable position on the fixed plate 100 to clamp the entire device in a fixed position, such as a clamp, worktable, or other stable support surface. This further enhances the stability of the machining process.

[0050] The handle 106 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 100, allowing the operator to rotate it within a certain range. By operating the handle 106, the workpiece to be processed can be driven to form along the edge of the fixed plate 100.

[0051] The clamping assembly 108 is movably disposed along the length of the rotating handle 106, and its position can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the workpiece. When the end of the workpiece is connected to the first locking part 102 or the second locking part 104, the side of the clamping assembly 108 facing the fixed plate 100 works together with the fixed plate 100 to clamp the workpiece, ensuring that it will not move or shake during processing. As the rotating handle 106 is rotated, the clamping assembly 108 can press the workpiece against the edge of the fixed plate 100. With further rotation of the rotating handle 106, an arc-shaped element can be formed through the combined action of the clamping assembly 108 and the fixed plate 100.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first locking part 102 includes:

[0053] The first fixing part 110 is connected to the fixing plate 100;

[0054] The first movable locking member 112 is movably connected to the first fixed part 110;

[0055] The first fastener 114 is connected to the first fixing part 110 to lock the relative positions of the first movable locking member 112 and the first fixing part 110.

[0056] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the first locking part 102 is designed in detail so that it can more effectively lock the first end of the arc-shaped element to be processed.

[0057] The first fixing part 110 is connected to the fixing plate 100 as the base part of the first locking part 102. The first fixing part 110 provides stable support and connection points, ensuring that the entire locking mechanism can work reliably.

[0058] The first movable locking member 112 is movably connected to the first fixed part 110. The design of the first movable locking member 112 allows it to be adaptively adjusted according to the shape and size of the workpiece to be processed. For example, the first movable locking member 112 can be a movable gripper, slider 128, or other form of locking mechanism that can tightly fit one end of the workpiece to be processed.

[0059] The first fastener 114 is connected to the first fixing part 110 and is used to lock the relative position of the first movable locking member 112 and the first fixing part 110. When the first movable locking member 112 is adjusted to a suitable position, the first fastener 114 (such as a bolt, nut, locking pin, etc.) is tightened or locked, thereby fixing the position of the first movable locking member 112 and ensuring that the workpiece to be processed is firmly locked.

[0060] The combined action of the first movable locking member 112 and the first fastener 114 provides a stronger locking force, ensuring that the workpiece will not loosen or shift due to vibration or external force during processing. The movable connection design of the first movable locking member 112 allows it to adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the entire processing device. Operators can easily and quickly lock the workpiece by simply adjusting the position of the first movable locking member 112 and tightening the first fastener 114. The robust design of the first locking part 102 makes the entire processing device more stable and reliable during processing, reducing processing errors and safety hazards caused by insecure locking.

[0061] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the side of the fixed plate 100 opposite to the first movable locking member 112 is a plane.

[0062] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the side of the fixed disc 100 opposite to the first movable locking member 112 is designed to be flat. This design detail plays an important role in the overall structure of the processing device, aiming to further enhance the locking effect and processing accuracy.

[0063] Specifically, this planar area on the fixed plate 100 provides a stable contact surface for the first movable locking member 112. When the first movable locking member 112 is adjusted to the appropriate position and locked, it fits tightly against this plane, thereby ensuring that the workpiece is firmly fixed in the predetermined position.

[0064] Furthermore, the planar design helps reduce friction and wear during processing. Because the contact surface is flat, the first movable locking element 112 can move more smoothly during locking and releasing, reducing unnecessary friction and resistance, thereby extending the service life of the processing device.

[0065] The flat surface provides a stable support for the first movable locking element 112, ensuring the reliability and durability of the locking effect. This helps reduce vibration and displacement during processing, thereby improving processing accuracy and finished product quality. The flat design simplifies the adjustment and locking process of the first movable locking element 112, making operation easier and faster. This helps shorten the processing cycle and improve production efficiency. The flat contact surface reduces friction and wear of the first movable locking element 112 during locking and releasing, thereby extending the service life of the processing device. This reduces maintenance costs and improves the overall performance of the equipment. The flat design allows the fixed plate 100 to more flexibly adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes. By adjusting the position and locking force of the first movable locking element 112, various arc-shaped components can be easily fixed, thereby expanding the application range of the processing device.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second locking part 104 includes:

[0067] The second fixing part 116 is connected to the fixing plate 100;

[0068] The second movable locking member 118 is movably connected to the second fixed part 116;

[0069] The second fastener 120 is connected to the second fixing part 116 to lock the relative position of the second movable locking member 118 and the second fixing part 116.

[0070] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Similarly, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the second locking part 104 is designed in detail so that it can more effectively lock the second end of the arc-shaped element to be processed.

[0071] The second fixing part 116 is connected to the fixing plate 100 as the base part of the second locking part 104. The second fixing part 116 provides stable support and connection points, ensuring that the entire locking mechanism can work reliably.

[0072] The second movable locking member 118 is movably connected to the second fixed part 116. The design of the second movable locking member 118 allows it to be adaptively adjusted according to the shape and size of the workpiece to be processed. For example, the second movable locking member 118 can be a movable gripper, slider 128, or other form of locking mechanism that can tightly fit one end of the workpiece to be processed.

[0073] The second fastener 120 is connected to the second fixing part 116 and is used to lock the relative position of the second movable locking member 118 and the second fixing part 116. When the second movable locking member 118 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the second fastener 120 (such as a bolt, nut, locking pin, etc.) is tightened or locked, thereby fixing the position of the second movable locking member 118 and ensuring that the workpiece to be processed is firmly locked.

[0074] The combined action of the second movable locking element 118 and the second fastener 120 provides a stronger locking force, ensuring that the workpiece will not loosen or shift due to vibration or external force during processing. The movable connection design of the second movable locking element 118 allows it to adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the entire processing device. Operators can easily and quickly lock the workpiece by simply adjusting the position of the second movable locking element 118 and tightening the second fastener 120. The robust design of the second locking part 104 makes the entire processing device more stable and reliable during processing, reducing processing errors and safety hazards caused by insecure locking.

[0075] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the side of the fixed plate 100 opposite to the second movable locking member 118 is an arc surface.

[0076] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to one embodiment of the invention, the side of the fixed disc 100 opposite to the second movable locking member 118 is designed as a curved surface. This design is intended to accommodate curved elements of a specific shape and size to be processed, ensuring a tighter and more stable locking effect.

[0077] Specifically, the curved area on the fixed plate 100 matches the curvature of the curved element to be processed. When the second movable locking member 118 is adjusted to the appropriate position and locked, it fits tightly against this curved surface, thereby ensuring that the curved element to be processed is firmly fixed in the predetermined position. This design not only improves the reliability of locking but also reduces vibration and displacement during processing, contributing to improved processing accuracy and finished product quality.

[0078] Furthermore, the curved surface design helps to distribute pressure during the locking process. Because the contact surface is curved, when the second movable locking element 118 locks, the pressure is distributed along the curved surface, thereby reducing the possibility of excessive local pressure. This helps extend the service life of the processing device and reduces damage or deformation caused by excessive pressure.

[0079] The curved surface design allows the second movable locking element 118 to fit more tightly against the curved element to be processed, thereby improving the reliability and stability of locking. This helps reduce vibration and displacement during processing, ensuring processing accuracy and finished product quality. The curved surface design also allows the fixed plate 100 to more flexibly adapt to curved elements with different curvatures. By adjusting the position and locking force of the second movable locking element 118, curved elements of various shapes and sizes can be easily fixed, thus expanding the application range of the processing device. The curved surface design helps to distribute pressure during the locking process, reducing excessive local pressure. This helps to extend the service life of the processing device and reduce damage or deformation caused by excessive pressure. Because the curved surface design improves the locking effect and adaptability, the processing process is smoother and more efficient. This helps to shorten the processing cycle and improve production efficiency.

[0080] Furthermore, it should be noted that the reason why the opposite sides of the fixed plate 100 and the second movable locking member 118 are set as arc surfaces is that after the initial processing, the second end of the workpiece to be processed has been formed into an arc segment. In order to achieve clamping of the arc segment, the opposite sides of the fixed plate 100 and the second movable locking member 118 are set as arc surfaces. As the rotating handle 106 rotates in the opposite direction, the workpiece to be processed can be processed into an arc element consistent with the fixed plate 100.

[0081] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping assembly 108 includes:

[0082] Connector 122 is connected to rotating handle 106;

[0083] The adjusting rod 124 is rotatably connected to the rotating handle 106 along the length of the rotating handle 106;

[0084] The clamping element 126 is connected to the end of the adjusting rod 124 facing the fixed plate 100.

[0085] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping assembly 108 is designed to include three main parts: a connecting seat 122, an adjusting rod 124, and a clamping member 126, and is intended to provide an adjustable and stable clamping force to meet the processing requirements of arc-shaped components of different shapes and sizes.

[0086] The connecting seat 122 serves as the base of the clamping assembly 108 and is securely connected to the rotating handle 106. It provides a stable connection point, ensuring that the entire clamping assembly 108 can move as the rotating handle 106 rotates.

[0087] Adjusting rod 124 is rotatably connected to rotating handle 106 along its length. The design of adjusting rod 124 allows it to rotate at a certain angle relative to rotating handle 106, thereby adjusting the position and clamping force of clamping member 126. This design allows users to flexibly adjust the position and angle of clamping assembly 108 according to the shape and size of the arc-shaped element to be processed, ensuring optimal clamping effect.

[0088] The clamping element 126 is connected to the end of the adjusting rod 124 facing the fixed plate 100. The clamping element 126 is the part of the clamping assembly 108 that directly acts on the arc-shaped element to be processed. It can be a rubber pad, metal jaws, or other forms of clamping mechanism. The design of the clamping element 126 should ensure that it can fit tightly against the arc-shaped element to be processed and provide sufficient clamping force to prevent it from moving or deforming during processing.

[0089] The combined action of the adjusting rod 124 and the clamping element 126 provides a more stable and controllable clamping force, ensuring the stability and positional accuracy of the arc-shaped component during processing. This helps reduce processing errors and improve processing precision and finished product quality. The design of the adjusting rod 124 allows users to flexibly adjust it according to the shape and size of the arc-shaped component, enabling the clamping assembly 108 to adapt to processing requirements of different shapes. This design improves the versatility and flexibility of the processing device. By simply rotating the adjusting rod 124, users can quickly adjust the position and angle of the clamping assembly 108 without complex operations or tools. This helps simplify the processing process and improve work efficiency. The design of the clamping element 126 should ensure a tight fit against the arc-shaped component while avoiding damage. For example, using a rubber pad as the clamping element 126 can reduce scratches or indentations on the component surface.

[0090] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there are at least two connecting seats 122, and the at least two connecting seats 122 are spaced apart along the length direction of the rotating handle 106.

[0091] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the invention, the design of the connecting seat 122 of the clamping assembly 108 is further clarified and optimized. Specifically, there are at least two connecting seats 122, and these two (or more) connecting seats 122 are spaced apart along the length of the rotating handle 106. This design aims to provide stronger structural stability and support while ensuring that the clamping assembly 108 can operate smoothly and reliably.

[0092] At least two connecting seats 122 are provided to ensure the clamping assembly 108 remains stable under external force, preventing wobbling or displacement. Multiple connecting seats 122 also distribute stress, reducing the load on individual connecting seats 122 and thus extending the service life of the entire clamping assembly 108. The connecting seats 122 are spaced apart along the length of the rotating handle 106. This layout not only helps maintain the balance of the clamping assembly 108 but also ensures that the rotational force of the rotating handle 106 is evenly transmitted to each connecting seat 122. Furthermore, the spaced-apart connecting seats 122 provide greater adjustment space for the clamping assembly 108, allowing it to accommodate components of different sizes and shapes.

[0093] By setting at least two connecting seats 122 spaced apart along the length of the rotating handle 106, the stability of the clamping assembly 108 can be significantly improved. This helps reduce shaking and offset during processing, improving processing accuracy and finished product quality. Multiple connecting seats 122 can distribute stress, reducing the load on a single connecting seat 122. This not only extends the service life of the connecting seats 122 but also improves the load-bearing capacity and durability of the entire clamping assembly 108. The spaced connecting seats 122 provide a larger adjustment range for the clamping assembly 108. This allows the clamping assembly 108 to adapt to components of different sizes and shapes, improving its versatility and flexibility. Due to the enhanced stability of the clamping assembly 108, vibration and offset during processing are reduced, thereby improving processing efficiency. Furthermore, due to the larger adjustment range, users can find the appropriate clamping position and angle more quickly, further shortening the processing cycle.

[0094] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping assembly 108 further includes a slider 128, which is connected to one end of the adjusting rod 124 facing the fixed plate 100, and the clamping member 126 is connected to the slider 128.

[0095] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the design of the clamping assembly 108 is further optimized by adding a slider 128. The slider 128 is designed to connect to the end of the adjusting rod 124 facing the fixed plate 100, while the clamping member 126 is connected to the slider 128. This design modification aims to provide more flexible and precise clamping adjustment capabilities to accommodate the processing needs of curved components of different shapes and sizes.

[0096] The slider 128, serving as an intermediate component connecting the adjusting rod 124 and the clamping member 126, offers high flexibility and adjustability. It allows for minute displacement adjustments of the clamping member 126 in the direction perpendicular to the length of the rotating handle 106 (i.e., towards the fixed plate 100). This design enables the clamping member 126 to fit more closely to the surface of the curved component being processed, especially when dealing with components with complex curvatures or irregular shapes.

[0097] The adjusting lever 124 retains its original function, namely, rotating along the length of the rotating handle 106 to adjust the overall position and angle of the clamping assembly 108. However, due to the addition of the slider 128, the adjusting lever 124 can now also indirectly affect the position of the clamping member 126 in the direction perpendicular to the rotating handle 106 through the slider 128.

[0098] The clamping element 126 is connected to the slider 128 and acts directly on the arc-shaped element to be processed. It can be a rubber pad, metal jaws, or other forms of clamping mechanism, depending on the processing requirements and the material properties of the element to be processed.

[0099] With the addition of slider 128, clamping member 126 can be finely adjusted in the direction perpendicular to the length of rotating handle 106, thereby more precisely conforming to the surface of the curved component to be processed. This helps to improve processing accuracy and finished product quality. The design of slider 128 allows clamping assembly 108 to more flexibly adapt to curved components of different shapes and sizes. Whether it is a simple arc or a complex curved surface, the optimal clamping point can be found by adjusting the position of slider 128.

[0100] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the rotating handle 106 along the length direction of the rotating handle 106, and the slider 128 is slidably connected to the groove.

[0101] A groove is provided along the length of the rotating handle 106, and the slider 128 is slidably connected in this groove. This design aims to provide a more flexible and precise clamping adjustment mechanism to adapt to the processing needs of curved components of different shapes and sizes.

[0102] The rotating handle 106, serving as the driving component of the entire clamping assembly 108, has a groove along its length. This groove has a specific shape and size to ensure that the slider 128 can slide smoothly and reliably within it. The groove is designed with the movement trajectory of the slider 128 and the required adjustment range in mind, ensuring that the user can easily adjust the position of the clamping assembly 108 as needed.

[0103] The slider 128 is designed to fit snugly into the groove and maintain its connection with the groove through a mechanism such as sliding friction or fasteners. This connection allows the slider 128 to slide freely within the groove while ensuring that it does not disengage from the groove when subjected to external forces. The shape and size of the slider 128 are matched to the groove to ensure smoothness and reliability of the sliding process.

[0104] The slider 128, serving as an intermediate component connecting the rotating handle 106 and the clamping member 126, functions to transmit force and adjust position. By sliding the slider 128, the user can change the position of the clamping member 126 relative to the rotating handle 106, thereby achieving precise control of the clamping force. This design allows the clamping assembly 108 to more flexibly adapt to curved components of different shapes and sizes, improving processing flexibility and accuracy.

[0105] By incorporating a groove along the rotating handle 106 and allowing the slider 128 to slide freely within it, the flexibility of the clamping assembly 108 is significantly improved. This allows the user to easily adjust the position and angle of the clamping element 126 as needed to accommodate curved elements of different shapes and sizes. The tight connection between the slider 128 and the groove, along with the precise design of the groove, enables the user to achieve precise control of the clamping force. This helps improve the accuracy and precision of machining, reducing errors and waste during the machining process. Because the slider 128 can slide freely within the groove, the user can easily adjust the position and angle of the clamping assembly 108 without using complex tools or equipment. This reduces the complexity and difficulty of operation and improves work efficiency. The design of the groove and slider 128 takes into account friction and wear, employing appropriate materials and lubrication mechanisms to reduce friction and wear. This helps extend the service life of the clamping assembly 108 and reduce maintenance costs.

[0106] like Figure 4 As shown, a second aspect of the present invention provides a processing method for the processing apparatus for arc-shaped components as described above, comprising:

[0107] Step 10: Fix the fixed plate 100 in the fixed position using the clamping part;

[0108] Step 20: Clamp the first end of the workpiece to be processed to the first locking part 102, and adjust the clamping assembly 108 to make the workpiece to be processed fit against the fixed plate 100;

[0109] Step 30: Rotate the rotating handle 106 to make the clamping assembly 108 clamp the workpiece to be processed along the edge of the fixed plate 100 for the first forming;

[0110] Step 40: Clamp the second end of the workpiece to be processed to the second locking part 104, and adjust the clamping assembly 108 to make the workpiece to be processed fit against the fixed plate 100;

[0111] Step 50: Rotate the handle 106 in the opposite direction to make the clamping assembly 108 clamp the workpiece to be processed along the edge of the fixed plate 100 for a second forming.

[0112] According to the processing method for arc-shaped components provided in the second aspect of the present invention, the accuracy of the position and orientation of the workpiece during processing can be ensured by precisely adjusting the clamping assembly 108 and the locking part, thereby improving processing accuracy and finished product quality. This method allows the workpiece to be switched between the first locking part 102 and the second locking part 104, achieving continuity and stability in the processing process. Simultaneously, by adjusting the clamping assembly 108, it can adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes, enhancing processing flexibility. The clamping assembly 108 clamps the workpiece by rotating the rotating handle 106, making operation simple and quick, reducing the complexity and time cost of the processing process. Furthermore, this method avoids the tedious steps that may require multiple clamping and adjustments in traditional processing methods, improving processing efficiency. The clamping part, locking part, and clamping assembly 108 in this method are all designed with reasonable safety mechanisms and protective measures, ensuring safety and reliability during the processing process.

[0113] like Figure 4 As shown, a second aspect of the present invention provides a processing method for a processing apparatus for arc-shaped components. This method fully utilizes the features of the above-mentioned clamping assembly 108 and processing apparatus, aiming to efficiently and accurately process arc-shaped components that meet the requirements.

[0114] Step 10: Secure the fixed plate 100 to the fixed position using the clamping part;

[0115] First, the fixed plate 100 is firmly fixed in the preset fixed position using clamping parts (such as bolts, clamps, etc.) on the processing device. This step ensures the stability and positional accuracy of the fixed plate 100 throughout the processing, providing a solid foundation for subsequent processing steps.

[0116] Step 20: Clamp the first end of the workpiece to be processed to the first locking part 102, and adjust the clamping assembly 108 to make the workpiece to be processed fit against the fixed plate 100;

[0117] Next, the first end of the arc-shaped component to be processed is clamped onto the first locking part 102 of the processing device. Then, the clamping assembly 108 is adjusted to ensure that the part to be processed fits tightly against the fixed plate 100. This step ensures the accuracy of the position and orientation of the part to be processed before processing.

[0118] Step 30: Rotate the rotating handle 106 to make the clamping assembly 108 clamp the workpiece to be processed along the edge of the fixed plate 100 for the first forming;

[0119] After the workpiece is stably attached to the fixed plate 100, the rotating handle 106 is turned. As the rotating handle 106 rotates, the clamping assembly 108 gradually clamps the workpiece along the edge of the fixed plate 100, gradually shaping it into the desired arc shape. This step is crucial for the initial shaping of the arc-shaped component.

[0120] Step 40: Clamp the second end of the workpiece to be processed to the second locking part 104, and adjust the clamping assembly 108 to make the workpiece to be processed fit against the fixed plate 100;

[0121] After the first forming is completed, the first end of the workpiece needs to be removed from the first locking part 102, and then the second end of the workpiece needs to be moved to the second locking part 104 for clamping. Then, the clamping assembly 108 is adjusted again to ensure that the workpiece fits tightly against the fixed plate 100, preparing for the second forming. This step ensures the continuity and stability of the workpiece during the processing.

[0122] Step 50: Reverse rotation of the handle 106 to cause the clamping assembly 108 to clamp the workpiece to be processed along the edge of the fixed plate 100 for a second forming.

[0123] Finally, rotate the handle 106 in the opposite direction to make the clamping assembly 108 clamp the workpiece again along the edge of the fixed plate 100. This clamping is to further consolidate and correct the result of the first forming, making the shape of the arc-shaped element more accurate and stable. At the same time, it makes the straight segment clamped by the first locking part 102 during the first forming process into an arc segment. After completing this step, the arc-shaped element that meets the requirements can be obtained.

[0124] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
