[0002] A grating is an optical element that diffracts light through a series of equally spaced slits or grooves, thereby generating a spectrum. Gratings are widely used in fields such as spectral analysis, optical measurement, and scientific research.

[0003] The distance between adjacent grooves in the gratings used in X-ray imaging is at the micrometer level, and the grooves have a large aspect ratio, resulting in extremely fine grating fabrication and high manufacturing difficulty. As the size of the grating increases, the manufacturing difficulty and cost also increase significantly, thus limiting the fabrication of larger gratings. Summary of the Invention

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the bearing mechanism includes: a bearing component rotatably mounted on a support platform about a second axis parallel to a first axis of rotation; and a locking component configured to have a positioning state that prevents the bearing component from rotating and an adjustment state that allows the bearing component to rotate under the drive of an adjustment mechanism, such that a first working member extends in a second direction perpendicular to the bearing surface and a first direction.

[0007] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the locking component includes a first mounting portion detachably disposed on the support component and configured to abut against the support platform to adjust to a positioning state, or to separate from the support platform to adjust to an adjustment state.

[0008] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the support assembly further includes: a support plate rotatably mounted on a support platform about a second pivot; an overlap plate mounted on the support plate, the overlap plate having a through groove in its center such that the center of the workpiece placed on the overlap plate is suspended; and a pressing mechanism configured to press the workpiece onto the overlap plate to prevent the workpiece from moving relative to the overlap plate.

[0009] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the clamping mechanism includes: a pressure plate disposed on the side of the workpiece facing away from the overlap plate; and a second mounting portion configured to adjust the distance between the pressure plate and the overlap plate to clamp the workpiece between the pressure plate and the overlap plate.

[0010] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the adjustment mechanism includes: a connecting component configured to be slidably mounted on a support platform in a first direction and to rotate about a first pivot to drive a second working member to move; a positioning component configured to have a locked state that prevents the connecting component from moving and a released state that allows the connecting component to move; and a first driving component disposed on the connecting component, configured such that in the locked state, the first driving component drives a carrier component in the adjustment state to move, and in the released state, the first driving component abuts against the carrier component in the positioning state to drive the connecting component to move.

[0011] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the connecting assembly includes: a first connecting portion slidably mounted on a support platform in a first direction; a second connecting portion rotatably mounted on the first connecting portion about a first pivot axis; a positioning component disposed between the second connecting portion and the support platform; a first driving component mounted on the second connecting portion; and an mounting component mounted on the second connecting portion and configured to contact a second working piece to drive the second working piece to move.

[0012] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, the mounting assembly includes: a contact plate disposed on the second connecting portion and parallel to the bearing surface, configured to contact the second working piece and drive the second working piece to move.

[0013] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the mounting assembly further includes: a mounting plate disposed opposite to the second connecting portion; and a third mounting portion configured to clamp the contact plate between the mounting plate and the second connecting portion.

[0014] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the positioning component includes: a positioning plate that contacts the support platform and the second connecting portion; and a fourth mounting portion that is detachably mounted on the positioning plate and configured to mount the positioning plate onto the support platform and the second connecting portion such that the connecting component is in a locked state, or to allow the positioning plate to be separated from the second connecting portion such that the connecting component is in a released state.

[0017] According to the grating-based splicing device and splicing system provided in this disclosure, the bearing surface of the bearing mechanism supports the first working piece and the second working piece. The adjusting mechanism slides in the first direction, thereby adjusting the sliding amount of the second working piece in the first direction. The adjusting mechanism rotates around the first axis perpendicular to the bearing surface, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the second working piece around the axis perpendicular to the bearing surface. By repeatedly adjusting the sliding amount and rotation angle of the second working piece in the first direction, the second working piece moves to the target position that allows the first working piece to be spliced. By splicing multiple working pieces, a large-size working piece is formed, thereby improving the processing efficiency of large-size working pieces and reducing processing costs.

[0032] A grating diffracts light through a series of equally spaced slits or grooves, thus generating a spectrum. Gratings are important optical components widely used in spectral analysis, optical measurement, and scientific research. Because the distance between adjacent grooves in gratings used in X-ray imaging reaches the micrometer level, and the grooves have a large aspect ratio, the grating fabrication process is extremely delicate and difficult, limiting the fabrication of larger gratings. The difficulty in fabricating large gratings leads to high processing costs and poor processing efficiency.

[0033] Figure 1 A perspective view of a splicing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0034] Embodiments of this disclosure propose a grating-based splicing device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the splicing device includes a support platform 2, a bearing mechanism 3, and an adjusting mechanism 4. The bearing mechanism 3 is disposed on the support platform 2, and the bearing surface of the bearing mechanism 3 is configured to support multiple working parts 1. Among them, the working parts 1 include at least a first working part 11 and a second working part 12. The adjusting mechanism 4 is movably mounted on the support platform 2 and is configured to slide in a first direction on the bearing surface and rotate about a first pivot 21 perpendicular to the bearing surface, so as to drive the second working part 12 to move to a target position that allows it to be spliced ​​with the first working part 11.

[0035] Figure 2 A side view of a splicing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0036] In detail, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support platform 2 is horizontally positioned, and the bearing surface of the bearing mechanism 3 on the support platform 2 is horizontal to support multiple working pieces 1. In this embodiment, the working piece 1 represents a grating sheet. It can be understood that the working piece 1 can also be other glass sheets, ceramic sheets, paper sheets, etc. that need to be spliced.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface of the grating sheet has multiple grooves 13, and the grooves 13 are in Figure 2 Extending laterally, multiple grooves 13 are in Figure 2 The components are spaced apart along the longitudinal direction. Multiple working parts 1 are arranged side-by-side on the bearing surface; specifically, the first working part 11 and the second working part 12 are arranged in the following directions: Figure 2 The horizontal direction within. The first direction is perpendicular to the placement direction of workpiece 1, that is... Figure 2 The vertical direction in the middle.

[0038] During the adjustment of the position of the second working piece 12, the adjusting mechanism 4 slides in the first direction, thereby adjusting the sliding amount of the second working piece 12 in the first direction, so that the groove 13 on the second working piece 12 is positioned opposite to the groove 13 on the first working piece 11. The adjusting mechanism 4 rotates about the first rotating shaft 21 perpendicular to the bearing surface, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the second working piece 12 about the axis perpendicular to the bearing surface, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the groove 13 of the second working piece 12 about the first rotating shaft 21, so that within the allowable error range, the extending direction of the groove 13 on the second working piece 12 is approximately the same as the extending direction of the groove 13 on the first working piece 11.

[0039] It should be noted that the adjustment mechanism 4 slides in the first direction and rotates around the first pivot 21 in multiple cycles to adjust the second working piece 12 to a target position that allows it to be spliced ​​with the first working piece 11. Within the allowable error range, the target position indicates that the groove 13 of the second working piece 12 is approximately aligned with the groove 13 of the first working piece 11, and the extending direction of the groove 13 of the second working piece 12 is approximately the same as the extending direction of the groove 13 of the first working piece 11.

[0040] Furthermore, since the distance between the grooves 13 of the grating reaches the micrometer level, the amount of movement of the adjustment mechanism 4 is relatively small. In addition, observation can be performed using devices such as microscopes.

[0041] In this implementation, by setting up the bearing mechanism 3 and the adjustment mechanism 4, the position of the second working piece 12 can be adjusted conveniently and quickly, so that the second working piece 12 moves to the target position that allows it to be spliced ​​with the first working piece 11, thereby realizing the splicing of multiple working pieces 1 to form a large-size working piece 1, improving the processing efficiency of the large-size working piece 1 and reducing the processing cost.

[0042] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bearing mechanism 3 includes a bearing assembly 31 and a locking assembly 32. The bearing assembly 31 is rotatably mounted on the support platform 2 about a second axis 22 parallel to the first axis 21. The locking assembly 32 is configured to have a positioning state that prevents the bearing assembly 31 from rotating, and an adjustment state that allows the bearing assembly 31 to rotate under the drive of the adjustment mechanism 4, such that the first working member 11 is in a second direction perpendicular to the bearing surface and the first direction (…). Figure 2 It extends in the horizontal direction.

[0043] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, firstly, the first working piece 11 is placed on the bearing surface. Then, driven by the adjusting mechanism 4, the bearing assembly 31, in the adjusted state, rotates about the second pivot 22, causing the groove 13 of the first working piece 11 to extend in the second direction. Finally, the locking assembly 32 locks the bearing assembly 31 in a locked state to facilitate adjustment of the position of the second working piece 12.

[0044] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the locking component 32 includes a first mounting part 321, which is detachably disposed on the support component 31 and is configured to abut against the support platform 2 to adjust to a positioning state, or to separate from the support platform 2 to adjust to an adjustment state.

[0045] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple first mounting parts 321 can be provided, and multiple first mounting parts 321 are distributed at intervals on the bearing component 31 to improve the stability of the bearing component 31.

[0046] Specifically, the first mounting portion 321 can be a bolt. The first mounting portion 321 passes through the bearing assembly 31 and is threadedly engaged with the bearing assembly 31. The position of the first mounting portion 321 is adjusted by rotating it. When the first mounting portion 321 is pressed against the support platform 2, the bearing assembly 31 is in a stationary position relative to the support platform 2; when the first mounting portion 321 is separated from the support platform 2, the bearing assembly 31 is in an adjustable state where it rotates relative to the support platform 2 about the second rotating shaft 22.

[0047] In one exemplary embodiment, the locking component 32 may also be a snap fastener, a pin, or a clamping element, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0048] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the supporting assembly 31 also includes a supporting plate 311, an overlapping plate 312, and a pressing mechanism 313. The supporting plate 311 is rotatably mounted on the support platform 2 about the second pivot 22. The overlapping plate 312 is mounted on the supporting plate 311, and a through groove 3121 is provided in the middle of the overlapping plate 312, so that the middle of the workpiece 1 placed on the overlapping plate 312 is suspended. The pressing mechanism 313 is configured to press the workpiece 1 against the overlapping plate 312 to prevent the workpiece 1 from moving relative to the overlapping plate 312.

[0049] Specifically, the support plate 311 is horizontally positioned and rotatably connected to the support platform 2 via the second rotating shaft 22. The overlapping plate 312 is installed on the support plate 311 via methods including, but not limited to, welding, bolting, or snap-fit ​​connections. The overlapping plate 312 extends in the second direction to support multiple workpieces 1 arranged sequentially in the second direction. The through groove 3121 is located in the middle of the overlapping plate 312 and extends in the second direction, such that both ends of the workpiece 1 are supported on the overlapping plate 312, while the middle of the workpiece 1 is suspended, thereby reducing the degree of wear on the workpiece 1 during movement and improving its protection.

[0050] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clamping mechanism 313 includes a pressure plate 3131 and a second mounting part 3132. The pressure plate 3131 is positioned on the side of the working piece 1 opposite to the overlapping plate 312. Figure 1 (Top surface of the working part 1). The second mounting part 3132 is configured to adjust the distance between the pressure plate 3131 and the overlapping plate 312 to clamp the working part 1 between the pressure plate 3131 and the overlapping plate 312.

[0051] In one exemplary embodiment, the second mounting portion 3132 may be a bolt. The second mounting portion 3132 passes through the pressure plate 3131 and is threadedly engaged with the overlapping plate 312.

[0052] In this embodiment, the distance between the pressure plate 3131 and the overlapping plate 312 can be adjusted by rotating the second mounting part 3132. Specifically, loosening the second mounting part 3132 increases the distance between the pressure plate 3131 and the overlapping plate 312, reducing the clamping force on the workpiece 1 and thus adjusting its position. Tightening the second mounting part 3132 decreases the distance between the pressure plate 3131 and the overlapping plate 312, increasing the clamping force on the workpiece 1 and preventing it from moving relative to the overlapping plate 312, thereby fixing the adjusted workpiece 1 relative to the overlapping plate 312, making the operation convenient.

[0053] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first working piece 11 is provided with a clamping mechanism 313 at both ends of the through groove 3121 of the overlapping plate 312. The second working piece 12 is provided with a clamping mechanism 313 at the end away from the adjusting mechanism 4.

[0054] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the top surface of the overlapping plate 312, away from the adjusting mechanism 4, protrudes upward to form a ridge. The thickness of the ridge is greater than the thickness of the workpiece 1. The first end of the pressure plate 3131 is located on the ridge, and the second end of the pressure plate 3131, opposite to the first end, extends downward to be lower than the top surface of the ridge, so as to press the workpiece 1 tightly onto the overlapping plate 312. The thickness of the ridge and the thickness of the second end of the pressure plate 3131 are determined according to the pressure borne by the workpiece 1, so as to prevent the pressure of the pressure plate 3131 on the workpiece 1 from being too great and causing damage to the workpiece 1.

[0055] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 4 includes a connecting component 41, a positioning component 42, and a first drive component 43. The connecting component 41 is configured to be slidably mounted on the support platform 2 in a first direction and to rotate about a first pivot 21 to drive the second working piece 12 to move. The positioning component 42 is configured to have a locked state that prevents the connecting component 41 from moving and a released state that allows the connecting component 41 to move. The first drive component 43 is disposed on the connecting component 41 and is configured such that, in the locked state, the first drive component 43 drives the support component 31, which is in the adjustment state, to move; and in the released state, the first drive component 43 abuts against the support component 31, which is in the positioning state, to drive the connecting component 41 to move.

[0056] Figure 3 A partial view of a splicing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0057] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first drive component 43 can be a microhead. There are two first drive components 43, and the two first drive components 43 abut against the support component 31 at both ends of the second rotating shaft 22.

[0058] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, when the positioning component 42 is in a locked state that prevents the connecting component 41 from moving, the locking component 32 is in an adjustment state that allows the bearing component 31 to rotate. The first driving component 43 is operated to drive the bearing component 31 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 22, so as to adjust the groove 13 of the first working member 11 to extend in the second direction.

[0059] In detail, when one of the first drive components 43 extends and the other first drive component 43 shortens, the support component 31 rotates about the second pivot 22 in the direction of the shortened first drive component 43. Conversely, the support component 31 rotates about the second pivot 22 in the opposite direction. After the extension direction of the groove 13 of the first working piece 11 is adjusted to the second direction, the clamping mechanism 313 clamps both ends of the first working piece 11, thereby fixing the first working piece 11 relative to the support component 31.

[0060] When the positioning component 42 is in the released state that allows the connecting component 41 to move, the locking component 32 is in the positioning state that prevents the bearing component 31 from rotating. The first driving component 43 is operated to drive the connecting component 41 to move, thereby driving the second working piece 12 to move to the target position that allows it to be spliced ​​with the first working piece 11.

[0061] In detail, during the extension of the first driving component 43, the connecting component 41 slides away from the support component 31 in the first direction due to the contact between the first driving component 43 and the support component 31. Conversely, the connecting component 41 slides closer to the support component 31 in the first direction. When one of the first driving components 43 extends and the other shortens, the connecting component 41 rotates around the first axis 21 in the direction of the extended first driving component 43 due to the contact between the first driving component 43 and the support component 31. Conversely, the connecting component 41 rotates in the opposite direction around the first axis 21. By repeatedly adjusting the sliding amount of the second working piece 12 in the first direction and the rotation angle around the first axis 21 by the adjusting mechanism 4, within the allowable error range, the groove 13 of the second working piece 12 is approximately aligned with the groove 13 of the first working piece 11, and the extension direction of the groove 13 of the second working piece 12 is approximately the same as the extension direction of the groove 13 of the first working piece 11. Multiple workpieces 1 can be spliced ​​together to form a large-size workpiece 1, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the large-size workpiece 1 and reducing processing costs.

[0062] Figure 4 A cross-sectional view of a splicing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0063] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting assembly 41 includes a first connecting portion 411, a second connecting portion 412, and a mounting assembly 413. The first connecting portion 411 is slidably mounted on the support platform 2 in a first direction. The second connecting portion 412 is rotatably mounted on the first connecting portion 411 about a first pivot 21. A positioning assembly 42 is mounted between the second connecting portion 412 and the support platform 2. A first drive assembly 43 is mounted on the second connecting portion 412. The mounting assembly 413 is mounted on the second connecting portion 412 and is configured to contact the second working piece 12 to drive the second working piece 12 to move.

[0064] Specifically, the first connecting part 411 can be slidably mounted on the support platform 2 by means of a slide rail or slider engaging with a slide groove. The second connecting part 412 is rotatably mounted on the first connecting part 411 via the second rotating shaft 22.

[0065] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning assembly 42 includes a positioning plate 421 and a fourth mounting portion 422. The positioning plate 421 contacts the support platform 2 and the second connecting portion 412. The fourth mounting portion 422 is detachably mounted on the positioning plate 421 and is configured to mount the positioning plate 421 onto the support platform 2 and the second connecting portion 412, thereby locking the connecting assembly 41, or to allow the positioning plate 421 to separate from the second connecting portion 412, thereby releasing the connecting assembly 41.

[0066] Specifically, the positioning plate 421 is an L-shaped plate, with its bottom contacting the support platform 2 and its top contacting the second connecting part 412. The fourth mounting part 422 can be a bolt, and the bottom and top of the positioning plate 421 are respectively connected to the support plate and the second connecting part 412 via the fourth mounting part 422. The fourth mounting part 422 is detachable, allowing the positioning plate 421 to connect with the support platform 2 and the second connecting part 412, thus locking the connecting assembly 41; or the positioning plate 421 to separate from the second connecting part 412, thus releasing the connecting assembly 41.

[0067] According to embodiments of this disclosure, when the locking component 32 is in a positioning state that prevents the support component 31 from rotating, and the positioning component 42 is in a released state that allows the connecting component 41 to move, during the extension of the first driving component 43, the first connecting portion 411 slides away from the support component 31 in a first direction because the first driving component 43 abuts against the support component 31. Conversely, the first connecting portion 411 slides towards the support component 31 in a first direction.

[0068] When one of the first drive components 43 extends and the other shortens, the second connecting portion 412 rotates about the first axis 21 toward the extended first drive component 43 because the first drive component 43 abuts against the support component 31. Conversely, the second connecting portion 412 rotates about the first axis 21 in the opposite direction, thereby driving the second working part 12 in contact with the mounting component 413 to move, adjusting the sliding amount of the second working part 12 in the first direction and the rotation angle of the second working part 12 about the first axis 21.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting assembly 413 includes a contact plate 4131. The contact plate 4131 is disposed on the second connecting portion 412 and is parallel to the bearing surface. The contact plate 4131 is, but is not limited to, bonded to the second working part 12 by an adhesive or bonding agent to drive the second working part 12 to move.

[0070] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting assembly 413 also includes a mounting plate 4132 and a third mounting portion 4133. The mounting plate 4132 is disposed opposite to the second connecting portion 412, and the mounting plate 4132 is located above the second connecting portion 412. The third mounting portion 4133 is configured to clamp the contact plate 4131 between the mounting plate 4132 and the second connecting portion 412. The third mounting portion 4133 is disposed between the mounting plate 4132 and the second connecting portion 412 by means of bolts, clamping members, or magnetic coupling members.

[0071] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, when installing the contact plate 4131, the contact plate 4131 is placed above the second connecting portion 412, and then the mounting plate 4132 is placed above the contact plate 4131. The contact plate 4131 is clamped between the mounting plate 4132 and the second connecting portion 412 by the third mounting portion 4133. When disassembling the contact plate 4131, the third mounting portion 4133 and the mounting plate 4132 are removed to disassemble the contact plate 4131, thereby improving the convenience of disassembling and assembling the contact plate 4131 and facilitating the bonding or removal of the contact plate 4131 from the second working member 12.

[0072] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the splicing device also includes a base 5 and a second drive assembly 6. The base 5 is slidably mounted on the support platform 2 in a second direction. The second drive assembly 6 is configured to drive the support platform 2 to slide relative to the base 5 in a second direction.

[0073] Specifically, the base 5 is slidably mounted below the support platform 2 via a slide rail or slider engaging with a slide groove. The second drive assembly 6 can be a micrometer head, which is mounted on the base 5 to drive the support platform 2 to slide in the second direction.

[0074] According to embodiments of this disclosure, when observing the position of the workpiece 1 using a detection device 7 such as a microscope, the observation area of ​​the detection device 7 is limited. By providing a base 5 and a second drive assembly 6, the support platform 2 can be driven to slide in a second direction, thereby changing the area of ​​the workpiece 1 observed by the detection device 7 as needed, thus improving the convenience of observing the workpiece 1.

[0075] Figure 5 A perspective view of a splicing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0076] Embodiments of this disclosure also propose a splicing system, such as Figure 5As shown, the splicing system includes the splicing device and the detection device 7 as described above. The detection device 7 is configured to detect the positions of the first working piece 11 and the second working piece 12 on the splicing device, so as to adjust the splicing pose of the second working piece 12 relative to the first working piece 11 based on the position control adjustment mechanism 4.

[0077] In one exemplary embodiment, the detection device 7 includes a microscope to detect the positions of the first working piece 11 and the second working piece 12 on the splicing device. The detection device 7 also includes a control mechanism configured to adjust the splicing pose of the second working piece 12 relative to the first working piece 11 based on the position control adjustment mechanism 4 of the first working piece 11 and the second working piece 12, i.e., within an allowable error range, such that the groove 13 of the second working piece 12 is substantially aligned with the groove 13 of the first working piece 11, and the extending direction of the groove 13 of the second working piece 12 is substantially the same as the extending direction of the groove 13 of the first working piece 11.

[0078] Figure 6 A partial view of a first working piece and a second working piece according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.

[0079] In detail, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first direction is Figure 6 The vertical direction in the middle is the Y direction, and the second direction is... Figure 6 The transverse direction is the X direction, and the first and second directions form the bearing surface. The third direction, perpendicular to the bearing surface, is the Z direction. During assembly, the first working piece 11 and the second working piece 12 are parallel to the bearing surface. In the first direction, the groove 13 of the first working piece 11 and the groove 13 of the second working piece 12 are approximately aligned. The deflection angle of the second working piece 12 relative to the first working piece 11 about the third direction axis is less than 1 mrad.

[0080] During the inspection of the second workpiece 12 ( Figure 6 The workpiece on the right side of the middle section is relative to the first workpiece 11. Figure 6 When the left-hand workpiece is deflected, the opposite ends of the grooves 13 of the first workpiece 11 and the grooves 13 of the second workpiece 12 are approximately aligned. The first workpiece 11 moves L1 in the second direction, and the distance between the grooves 13 of the first workpiece 11 and the grooves 13 of the second workpiece 12 is L2. L2 / L1 needs to be less than 1 mrad, that is, the second workpiece 12 and the first workpiece 11 are spliced ​​together.

[0081] According to the grating-based splicing device and splicing system provided in this disclosure, the bearing surface of the bearing mechanism 3 supports the first working piece 11 and the second working piece 12. The adjusting mechanism 4 slides in the first direction, thereby adjusting the sliding amount of the second working piece 12 in the first direction. The adjusting mechanism 4 rotates around the first rotating shaft 21 perpendicular to the bearing surface, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the second working piece 12 around the axis perpendicular to the bearing surface. By repeatedly adjusting the sliding amount and rotation angle of the second working piece 12 in the first direction, the second working piece 12 moves to the target position that allows the first working piece 11 to be spliced. By splicing multiple working pieces 1, a large-size working piece is formed, thereby improving the processing efficiency of large-size working pieces and reducing processing costs.
