Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sample shaping device for inlay machine, and specifically to a sample shaping device for inlay machine. Background Technology
[0002] Metallographic testing is a common inspection item in the physical property testing of metals. The quality assessment of metallographic examination should be carried out in accordance with relevant standards and technical conditions. If defects such as folds, cracks, and porosity are found during inspection, a simplified diagram or photographic record can be drawn. When taking photos, the magnification should be noted and the size and location of the defects should be measured in order to assess the quality of the inspected part.
[0003] The metallographic mounting sample preparation process is complex and involves many steps. The original mounting machine cover was a split aluminum structure, which had low strength, was easy to deform, and even broke, resulting in a high failure rate. The preparation of mounting samples has become a difficult problem in the sample preparation of finished wire and wire inspection laboratory. Utility Model Content
[0004] Technical problems to be solved
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a sample shaping device for inlay machine, which can effectively solve the problem of inconvenience in the use of the inlay clamping device in the existing technology.
[0006] Technical solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] This utility model provides a sample shaping device for an inlay machine, including an inlay box and a box cover. A mechanical clamping structure is placed inside the inlay box. The mechanical clamping structure includes two sets of opposing arc-shaped plates. Positioning holes are opened on both sides of the arc-shaped plates. The two sets of arc-shaped plates are connected by a threaded rod passing through the positioning holes and fastened by a locking nut. A contact plate is fixed on the inner side wall of each set of arc-shaped plates. A gasket is fixed in the middle of the contact plate and a connecting rod is fixed on the outer side of the gasket.
[0009] Furthermore, both sets of the arc-shaped plates are arc-shaped structures bent inwards, and their hardness is the same as that of the metallographic sample.
[0010] Furthermore, two sets of threaded rods are provided on both sides of the arc-shaped plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the inlay box and the lid are made of stainless steel.
[0012] Furthermore, the front end of the connecting rod is provided with a rounded corner structure.
[0013] Furthermore, the middle part of the outer wall of the arc-shaped plate has a planar structure.
[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known public technology:
[0016] This invention utilizes a mechanical clamping structure, allowing the user to open the center of the metallographic sample and hang it outside the connecting rod. The connecting rods on both sides then tighten the spacing between the two sets of arc-shaped plates. Because the arc-shaped plates have a similar curved surface structure, the metallographic sample can be hung between the two sets of arc-shaped plates. During connection and fixation, the threaded rods on both sides can be locked using a nut structure. The specific spacing or length can be fixed by the user according to the thickness of the metallographic sample, achieving a secure clamping effect. Therefore, compared to existing metallographic mounting structures, this device can be adjusted on-site according to different sample sizes, ensuring accurate shape control of the metallographic sample in the mounting machine, improving the accuracy and efficiency of metallographic inspection, and ensuring accurate positioning control of the metallographic mounted sample, effectively improving the sample quality of the mounting machine. The change from a split structure to a single, integrated structure and the replacement of aluminum with stainless steel material ensures the durability of the shaping device, increases its service life, and reduces spare parts costs.

[0024] Example: A sample shaping device for a mounting machine, see attached document. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 The device includes an inlay box 1 and a box cover 2. The inlay box 1 contains a mechanical clamping structure 3. The mechanical clamping structure 3 includes two sets of opposing arc-shaped plates 31. The arc-shaped plates 31 have positioning holes 311 on both sides. The two sets of arc-shaped plates 31 are connected by a threaded rod 34 passing through the positioning holes 311 and fastened by a locking nut. Each set of arc-shaped plates 31 has a contact plate fixed on its inner sidewall. A gasket 32 is fixed in the middle of the contact plate. A connecting rod 33 is fixed on the outer side of the gasket 32.
[0025] Both sets of arc-shaped plates 31 are inwardly bent arc-shaped structures with the same hardness as the metallographic sample. Two sets of threaded rods 34 are provided on both sides of each arc-shaped plate 31. The inlay box 1 and the box cover 2 are made of stainless steel. The front end of the connecting rod 33 has a rounded corner structure. The middle of the outer wall of the arc-shaped plate 31 is a flat structure. Through the mechanical clamping structure 3, the user can open a hole in the middle of the metallographic sample, hang it outside the connecting rod 33, and tighten the two sets of arc-shaped plates 3 inwards through the connecting rods 33 on both sides. The spacing is 1. Since the arc plate 31 has a similar arc surface structure, metallographic samples can be hung between the two sets of arc plates 31. When connecting and fixing, the threaded rods 34 on both sides can be locked by the nut structure. The specific spacing or length can be fixed by the user according to the thickness of the metallographic sample to achieve the effect of fixing and clamping. Therefore, compared with the existing metallographic mounting structure, this device can be adjusted on site according to different sample sizes, ensuring accurate control of metallographic sample shaping in the mounting machine, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of metallographic inspection.
