It extends out to press against the inner wall of the cup mouth or the inner wall of the cup bottom to ensure the concentricity and stability of the cup body during polishing, and prevents the inner liner from being scratched due to slipping between the fixture and the cup body during polishing. While improving processing efficiency, it can also adapt to the processing of cups of various sizes, with a wide range of applications and strong practicality; third, both the ends of the front top fixture and the rear top fixture are provided with a top head, and the cooperation of the top head and the clamping unit expands the contact area between the fixture and the cup body, increases the clamping force, and firmly clamps the cup body between the front top fixture and the rear top fixture, with higher clamping stability; fourth, the wedge block and the clamping unit provide restoring force through springs and reset springs respectively, making demoulding easier and faster.

In addition, the setting of the adaptive spring can further expand the scope of application and meet the tensioning of cup mouths of various sizes; fourth, the front top wedge block is connected to the plunger pin, the plunger pin reciprocates in the plunger barrel, and the front top spring is arranged in the plunger barrel to provide elastic restoring force for the plunger pin, so that when the inclined surface of the front top wedge block is worn, it is only necessary to replace the front top wedge block installed at the end of the plunger pin, without disassembling the front top spindle, etc., which is simple and convenient for maintenance and greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the fixture; fifth, a cup mouth sealing ring is provided on the outside of the tensioning block, which can seal the cup mouth during clamping to prevent foreign matter such as dust and chips generated by polishing from entering the cup body, thereby improving the processing quality of the cup body; sixth, the front top fixture adopts a tensioning head, and the tensioning head and the inner inclined surface of the cup mouth are The tension block extends out of the tension cup mouth, the top of the rear top clamp presses against the bottom of the cup, and the claw block extends out to tighten the inner wall of the bottom of the cup.

The extension stability of the claw block is higher, and when the claw block is worn, only the claw block needs to be replaced, which is convenient for maintenance and greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the fixture; Eighth, the claw block and the push block are connected by a pin, and the pin hole on the claw block is a waist-shaped hole. The setting of the waist-shaped hole makes the push block and the claw There is a certain moving space between the blocks, and the self-centering spring between the claw block and the stop block makes the fit between the claw block and the inner wall of the cup bottom tighter, which can adapt to the different sizes of cup bottoms caused by processing errors; ninth, a rear top reset spring is also provided between the claw block and the stop block. The elastic force of the rear top reset spring is greater than that of the self-centering spring, which is more conducive to the reset of the claw block and the push block during demoulding, and the self-centering spring also plays a role of extreme overload retraction, effectively protecting the inner wall of the cup bottom and the claw block; tenth, the bottom of the rear top fixture adopts a slide and slide seat structure with a dovetail groove. Under the action of the pushing cylinder, the rear top fixture slides back and forth on the slide seat through the slide, and the sliding structure of the dovetail groove is more stable, which improves the concentricity of the front top fixture and the rear top fixture, and improves the processing efficiency and processing quality.
