DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(5) Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are mainly simplified schematic diagrams, and only illustratively describe the basic structure of the present invention. Therefore, only components associated with the present invention are marked in the accompanying drawings. Moreover, the components shown are not drawn in the number, shape, dimension scale, etc. at the time of implementation, and the actual size during implementation is a selective design, and the component layout may be more complicated.

(6) Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 4. The induction pressing plate type real-time monitoring apparatus of this embodiment is suitable for tightly fixing a tested piece (2, 2′, 2″) to a forming device 3. The forming device 3 includes an upper platform 31 and a lower platform 32. The induction pressing plate 1 includes a pressure surface 11 and a back surface 12.

(7) The pressure surface 11 has a fixing portion 111 having a hole (not shown) for fixing and connecting a fastener A to the upper platform 31 or the lower platform 32.

(8) An abutting portion 112 is connected to the fixing portion 111, and the abutting portion 112 in at least part of a pressure surface 11 region is configured to press the tested piece (2, 2′, 2″) to be induced.

(9) An inductor 13 is disposed at the abutting portion 112, and has an induction unit 131 for inducting actual information transmitted to the abutting portion 112 by a direct contact of the tested piece (2, 2′, 2″) and converting the actual information into measurable data 1321, an output unit 132 for outputting the data 1321, and a power supply unit 133 for providing power to the induction unit 131 and the output unit 132.

(10) The induction pressing plate 1 described above is a fixture for fixing the die 20, i.e., the tested piece (2, 2′, 2″) to the upper platform 31 and the lower platform 32 of the forming device 3. Therefore, the induction pressing plate type real-time monitoring apparatus of the present invention is in direct and parallel contact with and presses the tested die 20 (including any of the components thereof, such as an upper die base 21, a punch backing plate 211, a punch fixing plate 212, a punch 213, a pressure plate 214, and a lower die base 22). On this basis, compared with the conventional approach that a sensing screw apparatus in which a sensor is disposed in a screw is in indirect and vertical contact with the tested piece, the method of disposing the inductor on the pressure plate of the present invention can fully capture the physical characteristics such as vibration, noise and load of the tested piece with less distortion.

(11) In an embodiment, the tested piece (2′, 2″) of the present invention includes any of the components of the die 20, such as the upper die base 21, the punch backing plate 211, the punch fixing plate 212, the punch 213, the pressure plate 214 and the lower die base 22.

(12) In an embodiment, the die 20 of the present invention may be a stamping die, and the tested piece 2 is a punch.

(13) In an embodiment, the punch of the present invention may be a drawing punch, a flange bending punch, and a die-cutting punch.

(14) The hole 1111 of the fixing portion 111 of the present invention may be a slot.

(15) The actual information of the present invention includes one or any combination of the physical characteristics such as the load applied to the inductor 13 by the tested piece (2, 2′, 2″), the vibration energy or frequency, the noise made by the tested piece (2, 2′, 2″) or the like.

(16) The foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles, features, and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make modifications and changes to the foregoing embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes and modifications made using the content disclosed in the present invention should still fall within the scope of the appended claims.
