[0041] Working Principle: The device mainly includes a superplastic forming chamber 10 and a processing structure. The processing structure is subdivided into a waste heat recovery section and a processing section. The waste gas and hot gas generated during the superplastic forming process enter the processing chamber 22 through the ventilation duct 41 and the air inlet 23. The gas first passes through the first filter layer 24 for primary filtration, and then absorbs heat through the heat absorption pipe 27. The absorbed heat energy is transported to the insulation chamber 19 through the second heating pipe 28 for subsequent use. The gas then passes through the second filter layer 25 for further filtration and is discharged through the exhaust pipe 26. The aluminum alloy raw material is placed on the second compression plate 18. The first electrical control box 11 is activated, driving the first electrical control push rod 12 to lower the top plate 13 and its first heating ring plate 14 and first compression plate 15. At the same time, the second heating ring plate 17 is also heated. The first compression molding plate 15 is finally snapped into the interior of the second compression molding plate 18, completing the compression molding process. The heat energy inside the insulation box 19 can be supplied to the processing department as needed through the first heating pipe 20 to maintain or adjust the working temperature. The outer wall of the superplastic forming box 10 is provided with a heat dissipation box 36 and an opening. The opening is equipped with a first dustproof grille 29 and a first heat dissipation box 30. The heat dissipation box is equipped with a heat dissipation wheel 32, which is driven to rotate by a servo motor 33 to promote airflow, achieve natural heat dissipation, and prevent dust from entering. The heat dissipation vent 34, the first heat dissipation pipe 35, and the heat dissipation box 36 are equipped with an electric fan 37, which is powered by the second electrical control box 39 through the wire 40. The electric fan 37 accelerates the airflow and dissipates heat through the heat dissipation pipe, improving heat dissipation efficiency.
