[0002] In the field of material research, metallographic observation and analysis is one of the important ways to study the properties of metal materials. The quality of metallographic specimens has a direct impact on the results of metallographic observation. At present, in most universities or research institutions, metallographic specimens are still made by manual operation, cutting the specimen blanks, embedding the specimens in the outer mold with mounting powder, and then the operator grinds the mounted specimens on sandpaper after the mounting powder solidifies.

[0003] During the grinding process, the sandpaper needs to be replaced five times in the order of coarseness and fineness. Each time the sandpaper is replaced, the grinding surface of the sample is rotated 90° to cover all the scratches from the previous grinding. After the grinding is completed, the sample is polished on the polishing machine. The whole process requires the replacement of sandpaper and polishing cloth, which is cumbersome, inefficient and labor-intensive. In addition, the grinding and polishing quality of the metallographic sample is closely related to the operator's proficiency, and it is difficult to ensure the flatness of the grinding and polishing surface. At the same time, when the sample is hand-held and ground, the fingers of inexperienced operators can easily touch the sandpaper, causing scratches on their nails or even fingers, and the safety factor of manual operation is low.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples and a method for using the same, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples and the method for using the same integrate grinding and polishing into one. The metallographic sample only needs to be clamped and the rotating seat is controlled to rotate intermittently, so that the multiple grinding and polishing parts on the rotating seat perform rough grinding, fine grinding and polishing on the metallographic sample in turn, thereby completing the grinding and polishing of the metallographic sample. The whole process is simple and convenient to operate, which solves the time-consuming and labor-intensive problems of the existing process, saves time and manpower, and ensures the metallographic processing effect and processing efficiency.

[0016] 2. The device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples and the method for using the same, by controlling the operation of the first motor, the output shaft of the first motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, and when the rotating rod rotates, the rotating seat is driven to rotate relative to the workbench, so that the grinding sandpaper with smaller abrasive particles moves to the upper side of the metallographic structure, and when the rotating seat rotates, the lower gear ring is driven to rotate through the bottom plate, and the lower gear ring is meshed with the driven gear on the lower side of the mounting seat for transmission, so that the driven gear drives the mounting seat and the metallographic sample placed inside the mounting seat to rotate, and the grinding and polishing angle of the metallographic sample is changed, so that the grinding sandpaper with smaller abrasive particles performs a new round of grinding on the metallographic structure after the angle is changed, so that the scratches caused by the previous round of grinding are covered up, thereby ensuring the metallographic grinding effect.

[0017] 3. The device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples and the method for using the same are as follows: after the metallographic sample is polished in a grinding and polishing part, the rotating seat initially rotates, the lower protrusion on the bottom plate is gradually separated from the upper protrusion on the lower side of the base, and the base is forced to move downward under the elastic force of the first elastic telescopic rod, thereby instantly separating the metallographic sample on the top of the base from the grinding sandpaper on the upper side, avoiding the top surface of the metallographic sample and the bottom surface of the grinding sandpaper from moving on the same horizontal plane, so that the grinding sandpaper and the metallographic sample are always in contact during displacement, resulting in wear marks in other directions on the top surface of the polished metallographic sample, so that the grinding of the grinding sandpaper is performed in the same direction each time, ensuring the consistency of the scratch direction.

[0018] 4. The device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples and the method for using the same are as follows: when the position of the grinding and polishing part is about to be adjusted, the lower protrusion on the bottom plate gradually approaches and abuts against the upper protrusion on the lower side of the base, and the upper protrusion is forced to drive the base to move upward, and the first elastic telescopic rod is pulled upward, so that the base drives the upper metallographic sample to move upward and gradually approach the mounting plate. After the base is lifted, the outer inclined extrusion surface of the elastic block abuts against the conical surface of the inner wall of the sleeve, and the elastic block is forced to drive the rubber gasket to approach the metallographic sample, so that the elastic block cooperates with the rubber gasket to automatically clamp the metallographic sample, and no manual intervention is required in the middle, which can effectively protect the safety of the staff, reduce the workload of the staff, and thus improve the processing efficiency of the metallographic sample.

[0023] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-9 , a device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples, comprising a workbench 1, and also comprising: The rotating seat 2 is rotatably connected to the workbench 1. The rotating seat 2 includes a bottom plate 201 rotatably connected to the workbench 1, a rotating rod 202 fixedly connected to the bottom plate 201, and a top plate 203 connected to an end of the rotating rod 202 away from the bottom plate 201. A first motor 3 for driving the rotating rod 202 to rotate is provided in the workbench 1; A grinding and polishing mechanism, the grinding and polishing mechanism comprising a plurality of grinding and polishing parts evenly distributed on the top plate 203 in a circumferential manner and a driving member for driving the plurality of grinding and polishing parts to work synchronously; and A mounting seat 6, a connecting seat 7 is provided between the mounting seat 6 and the workbench 1, and a metallographic sample 8 is placed in the mounting seat 6; A material discharge port 2031 for lowering the metallographic sample 8 is provided on the top plate 203 , and the material discharge port 2031 is disposed between two adjacent grinding and polishing parts.

[0024] Furthermore, an annular plate 2011 is fixedly provided on the bottom plate 201 , a lower gear ring 11 is fixedly provided on the top of the annular plate 2011 , and a driven gear 111 meshing with the lower gear ring 11 is provided on the mounting seat 6 .

[0025] Specifically, initially, the material discharge port 2031 of the top plate 203 is directly opposite to the lower mounting seat 6. The staff member places the metallographic sample 8 from the material discharge port 2031 into the mounting seat 6, and then controls the first motor 3 to run intermittently. The output shaft of the first motor 3 drives the rotating rod 202 to rotate. When the rotating rod 202 rotates, it drives the rotating seat 2 to rotate relative to the workbench 1. When the rotating seat 2 rotates, it drives the lower gear ring 11 to rotate through the bottom plate 201. The lower gear ring 11 is meshed with the driven gear 111 on the lower side of the mounting seat 6 for transmission, so that the driven gear 111 drives the mounting seat 6 and the mounting seat 1. 6, the metallographic sample 8 placed inside rotates to change the grinding and polishing angle of the metallographic sample 8, so that the grinding and polishing part with smaller abrasive grains performs a new round of grinding on the metallographic structure after the angle is changed, so that the scratches generated by the previous round of grinding are covered up, ensuring the metallographic grinding effect, and the multiple grinding and polishing parts on the rotating seat 2 perform rough grinding, fine grinding and polishing on the metallographic sample 8 in turn, so as to complete the overall grinding and polishing work of the metallographic sample 8. The whole process is simple and convenient to operate, and grinding and polishing are integrated into one, which solves the time-consuming and labor-intensive problems of the existing process, saves time and manpower, and ensures the metallographic processing effect and processing efficiency.

[0026] Example 2: Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7, a device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples. On the basis of Example 1, further, the grinding and polishing part includes a rotating shaft 9 rotatably connected to the top plate 203 and a mounting plate 901 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 9, a polishing wheel 5 is installed on the mounting plates 901 of one of the grinding and polishing parts, and grinding sandpaper 4 is installed on the mounting plates 901 of the other grinding and polishing parts. The grinding sandpaper 4 on several mounting plates 901 of the grinding and polishing parts has different roughness, and the abrasive grains of the grinding sandpaper 4 of the multiple grinding and polishing parts are arranged in sequence from coarse to fine along the circumferential direction of the top plate 203.

[0027] Specifically, the grinding sandpapers 4 on each grinding and polishing part are arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction of the top plate 203 from coarse to fine abrasive particles. For example, the abrasive particles on each grinding sandpaper 4 can be set to 180 mesh, 300 mesh, 600 mesh, 1000 mesh and 1500 mesh in sequence, and the polishing wheel 5 is placed between the two grinding sandpapers 4 with the largest and smallest abrasive particles.

[0028] Example 3: Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , a device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples. On the basis of Example 2, further, the driving member includes a second motor 10 fixed on the top plate 203, the second motor 10 is connected to the rotating shaft 9 of one of the grinding and polishing parts, and a driving gear 1001 is provided on the rotating shaft 9 of each grinding and polishing part. An upper gear ring 1002 meshing with the driving gear 1001 is rotatably connected to the top plate 203.

[0029] Specifically, the second motor 10 is controlled to run, and the output shaft of the second motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 9 of one of the grinding and polishing parts to rotate. The driving gear 1001 on the rotating shaft 9 is meshed with the upper gear ring 1002 on the top plate 203 for transmission. The upper gear ring 1002 drives the driving gears 1001 on the remaining rotating shafts 9 to rotate, so that several grinding and polishing parts can work at the same time. In conjunction with the intermittent operation of the first motor 3, the rotating seat 2 drives each grinding and polishing part to move to the upper side of the metallographic sample 8 in the mounting seat 6 in turn, thereby completing the rough grinding, fine grinding and polishing of the metallographic sample 8.

[0030] Example 4: Reference Fig.10 , a device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples, based on Example 3, further, the mounting seat 6 is slidably connected to the base plate 201, and the bottom of the mounting seat 6 is provided with a ball 12 that movably contacts the base plate 201.

[0031] Specifically, when the first motor 3 is running and the rotating seat 2 rotates, the lower gear ring 11 is driven to rotate through the base plate 201. The lower gear ring 11 is meshed with the driven gear 111 on the lower side of the mounting seat 6 for transmission, so that the driven gear 111 drives the mounting seat 6 and the metallographic sample 8 placed inside the mounting seat 6 to rotate. When the mounting seat 6 and the base plate 201 move relative to each other, the mounting seat 6 abuts against the base plate 201 through the ball 12, thereby reducing the wear on the mounting seat 6 and the base plate 201 when moving, thereby ensuring the service life of the device.

[0032] Example 5: Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 , a device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples. On the basis of Example 4, further, the connecting seat 7 includes ear plates 13 respectively arranged on the mounting seat 6 and the workbench 1 and a first elastic telescopic rod 131 arranged between the two ear plates 13, a groove 14 is opened at the bottom of the mounting seat 6, an upper protrusion 141 is fixedly arranged in the groove 14, and a lower protrusion 2012 that movably resists the upper protrusion 141 is arranged on the bottom plate 201.

[0033] Specifically, when the metallographic sample 8 on the mounting seat 6 is being ground and polished, the upper protrusion 141 at the bottom of the mounting seat 6 abuts against the end of the lower protrusion 2012 on the bottom plate 201, and at this time, the top surface of the metallographic sample 8 contacts the bottom surface of the grinding sandpaper 4 or the polishing wheel 5. After the metallographic sample 8 is polished in one grinding and polishing part, the rotating seat 2 initially rotates, and the lower protrusion 2012 on the bottom plate 201 is gradually separated from the upper protrusion 141 on the lower side of the mounting seat 6. The mounting seat 6 is forced to reset and move downward under the elastic force of the first elastic telescopic rod 131, thereby causing the metallographic sample 8 on the top of the mounting seat 6 to be instantly separated from the grinding sandpaper 4 on the upper side, preventing the top surface of the metallographic sample 8 from moving on the same horizontal plane as the bottom surface of the grinding sandpaper 4 or the polishing wheel 5, so that the grinding sandpaper 4 is always in contact with the metallographic sample 8 during displacement, resulting in wear marks in other directions on the top surface of the polished metallographic sample 8, so that the grinding sandpaper 4 is polished in the same direction each time, ensuring the consistency of the scratch direction.

[0034] Example 6: Reference Figure 6-11 , a device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples. On the basis of Example 5, further, the mounting seat 6 includes a base 15 fixedly connected to the driven gear 111, a plurality of elastic blocks 151 fixedly arranged on the base 15, and a rubber gasket 152 fixedly connected to the elastic blocks 151. The plurality of elastic blocks 151 and the top of the base 15 are combined to form a placement cavity for placing the metallographic sample 8. The groove 14 is opened at the bottom of the base 15, and the upper side ear plate 13 of the connecting seat 7 is connected to the base 15.

[0035] Furthermore, an L-shaped connecting rod 16 is fixedly provided on the side of the workbench 1, and a sleeve 161 is connected to the end of the L-shaped connecting rod 16 away from the workbench 1. The sleeve 161 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting seat 6, and the inner wall of the sleeve 161 is set as a conical surface, and the outer wall of the elastic block 151 is opened as an inclined extrusion surface that is movably opposed to the conical surface.

[0036] Specifically, after the grinding and polishing parts are polished once, the rotating seat 2 adjusts the position of each grinding and polishing part. When the position of the grinding and polishing part is about to be adjusted, the lower protrusion 2012 on the bottom plate 201 gradually approaches and abuts against the upper protrusion 141 on the lower side of the base 15. The upper protrusion 141 is forced to drive the base 15 to move upward, and the first elastic telescopic rod 131 is pulled upward, so that the base 15 drives the upper metallographic sample 8 to move upward and gradually approach the mounting plate 901. After the base 15 is lifted, the outer inclined extrusion surface of the elastic block 151 abuts against the conical surface of the inner wall of the sleeve 161. The elastic block 151 is forced to drive the rubber gasket 152 to approach the metallographic sample 8, so that the elastic block 151 cooperates with the rubber gasket 152 to automatically clamp the metallographic sample 8. No manual intervention is required in the middle, which can effectively protect the safety of the staff, reduce the workload of the staff, and thus improve the processing efficiency of the metallographic sample.

[0037] Example 7: Reference Fig.10 , a device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples. On the basis of Example 5, further, the base 15 includes an upper seat body 153 and a lower seat body 154, and the lower seat body 154 is internally threadedly connected with an adjusting screw 155, and the adjusting screw 155 is rotatably connected to the upper seat body 153.

[0038] Specifically, for metallographic samples 8 of different heights, the overall height of the base 15 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 155, and then the height of the metallographic sample 8 and the polishing part is adjusted, so that when the upper protrusion 141 abuts against the end surface of the lower protrusion 2012, the top surface of the metallographic sample 8 contacts the bottom surface of the grinding sandpaper 4 or the polishing wheel 5.

[0039] The present invention also discloses a method for using the device for automatic grinding and polishing of metallographic samples, comprising the following steps: S1: Initially, the material discharge port 2031 of the top plate 203 is directly opposite to the lower mounting seat 6, and the staff places the metallographic sample 8 from the material discharge port 2031 into the placement cavity surrounded by a plurality of elastic blocks 151; S2: Then, the first motor 3 is controlled to operate, and the output shaft of the first motor 3 drives the rotating rod 202 to rotate. When the rotating rod 202 rotates, the rotating seat 2 is driven to rotate relative to the workbench 1. When the rotating seat 2 rotates, the lower gear ring 11 is driven to rotate through the bottom plate 201.
