[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0029] A fixture for simultaneous grinding of multiple extremely thin parts, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes a main body 1 and a spacer 2, a plurality of cylindrical holes 3 are provided on one end face of the main body, and a part positioning hole 4 corresponding to each cylindrical hole is provided on the spacer. The part positioning holes are all through hole structures, and the cylindrical holes are all blind hole structures. The main body and the spacer are detachably connected through a connecting piece; a step pin 5 is installed in each cylindrical hole of the main body, and the small diameter section 51 of the step pin cooperates with the cylindrical hole, and the large diameter section 52 cooperates with the part positioning hole on the corresponding spacer.

[0030] The outer end faces of the large diameter sections of each step pin are in the same plane, and the distance b between the outer end faces of the large diameter sections of each step pin and the outer end face of the spacer is less than the thickness of the finished workpiece, that is, a groove 7 is formed between the step pin and the part positioning hole of the spacer, and the depth of the groove is less than the thickness of the finished workpiece, ensuring that the tool will not interfere with the spacer during grinding. As an example, 6 cylindrical holes are provided on the body.

[0031] The body and the spacer are connected by screws 6. Specifically, two threaded holes are provided on the body, and screw holes corresponding to the two threads are provided on the spacer. The thickness of the spacer is greater than the height of the nut of the screw used to connect the spacer and the body, and the nut of the screw is partially immersed in the screw hole to avoid interference when grinding the workpiece. As an example, the screw can be a hexagon socket screw, a slotted screw, a cross screw or other fastening screws that can be easily screwed into the threaded hole.

[0032] The two threaded holes are arranged symmetrically with the center of the body as the center. The body adopts a stepped shaft structure, and each cylindrical hole is arranged at the end with a larger diameter. The end with a smaller diameter of the body is fixed to the machine tool clamp or other fixing device, so that the grinding equipment can easily grind the workpiece at the large diameter end of the body. Preferably, the small diameter section of the step pin has an interference fit with the cylindrical hole to ensure that the step pin and the body are firmly and stably matched, and the step pin will not fall off the body when installing or removing the spacer, and the large diameter section of the step pin has a clearance fit with the part positioning hole, which is convenient for the installation and removal of the spacer, and thus convenient for the installation and removal of the workpiece.

[0033] A method for synchronously grinding multiple extremely thin parts using the above-mentioned fixture comprises the following steps:

[0034] Press-fit multiple positioning pins into the cylindrical holes of the body respectively, and then grind the plane formed by the outer end faces of each positioning pin flat, with a flatness of no more than 0.001 mm;

[0035] Assemble the spacer together with the positioning holes and positioning pins one by one, and then fasten the two screws to the body through the screw holes on the spacer;

[0036] Place multiple workpieces to be processed into the part positioning holes of the spacer sleeve respectively, and the inner end of each workpiece to be processed abuts against the outer end surface of the step pin;

[0037] Perform grinding process;

[0038] After grinding, unscrew the two screws used to fix the spacer, then separate the spacer from the body, and then remove the ground workpiece from the spacer.

[0039] The invention has a simple structure and reasonable design, and can realize the precise positioning of extremely thin parts on the fixture, ensuring the shape tolerance requirements of the flatness and parallelism of the parts after grinding. At the same time, the fixture is convenient and quick to load and unload parts, reducing the production preparation time. When in use, the flatness of the plane formed by the outer end faces of each locating pin is no more than 0.001mm, which can ensure the precise positioning of the parts and the flatness requirements after grinding. Multiple workpieces can be clamped at one time, and grinding processing can be realized at the same time, which greatly improves the efficiency.
