[0002] Light guide plates are usually made of transparent acrylic material and have a specific surface structure. In order to achieve this structure, the light guide plates usually need to be bent or formed to achieve specific optical effects and engineering requirements. Before bending, a special heating mechanism is required to heat and soften them.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned hot bending device has the following defects: 1) It only has one processing chamber, and the loading, heating, bending, unloading, cooling and other processes cannot be carried out simultaneously. After the bending is completed, it takes a long time to wait for it to cool and shape before unloading can be carried out, and the processing efficiency is extremely low; 2) Its heating chamber and bending chamber are in the same space, which causes the electric push rod and related structures to be in a high-temperature environment for a long time, seriously affecting its service life; 3) Its heat dissipation is serious and the energy utilization rate is low; Therefore, in view of the above situation, it is urgent to develop a multifunctional heating mechanism for bending the light guide plate to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications and meet current needs.
