DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Embodiment 1

[0022] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a clamping tool for precision machining of the side of ultra-thin components, comprising: a workpiece disk 1, a support frame 2, a tool mounting plate 3 and a component positioning plate 4, wherein a component through hole 11 is provided at the center of the workpiece disk 1, and the support frame 2 is arranged on the workpiece disk 1 and is located at the periphery of the component through hole 11; the tool mounting plate 3 is slidably arranged on the support frame 2 and is kept vertically with the workpiece disk 1; the component positioning plate 4 is arranged parallel to the tool mounting plate 3; the component positioning plate 4 is used to install ultra-thin components; a floating pressure regulating mechanism 6 is arranged between the upper end of the component positioning plate 4 and the support frame 2. When the tool mounting plate 3 moves up and down along the support frame 2, the component positioning plate 4 drives the ultra-thin components to achieve synchronous up and down floating.

[0023] By setting the workpiece disk 1, the support frame 2, the tooling installation plate 3 and the component positioning plate 4, and enabling the tooling installation plate 3 to be lifted and lowered along the support frame, the component positioning plate 4 and the ultra-thin components installed thereon can be driven to achieve synchronous up and down floating. This structural design can effectively control the position change of the ultra-thin components during the processing process, improve the processing accuracy, ensure that the verticality of the side of the ultra-thin component to the large surface and the adjacent side meets the high-precision requirements, meet the processing standards of sub-micron level flatness and micron level verticality, provide a reliable foundation for subsequent assembly and use, and reduce error accumulation and performance degradation. Driven by the workpiece mounting plate 3, the component positioning plate 4 realizes the up and down floating of the workpiece, which can ensure that the polishing tool always maintains the best contact with the processed surface, thereby obtaining a high-quality processing effect.

[0024] The support frame 2 includes a bottom plate 21, a top plate 22 and a guide column 23, wherein the bottom plate 21 is arranged on the workpiece disk 1, and the top plate 22 and the bottom plate 21 are connected by the guide column 23, and the guide column 23 maintains a vertical state with the workpiece disk 1. This structural design enables the support frame 2 to have good stability and rigidity, and can provide stable support and precise guidance for the tooling mounting plate 3, ensuring that the tooling mounting plate maintains a vertical state during the lifting process, thereby ensuring the verticality and position accuracy of the component positioning plate 4 and the ultra-thin component, further improving the processing quality and reducing the processing error.

[0025] In this embodiment, the tooling installation plates 3 include two, which are relatively arranged on the support frame 2, and the two ends of each tooling installation plate 3 are slidably connected to the guide column 23 through linear bearings 9. The design of the linear bearings 9 enables the tooling installation plate 3 to smoothly and flexibly move up and down along the guide column 23. Since the use of the linear bearings 9 reduces the friction force, the stability and accuracy of the movement are improved, which is conducive to accurately controlling the up and down movement of the component positioning plate 4 and the ultra-thin component, ensuring the stable position of the component during the processing, reducing the processing error caused by unstable movement, and improving the processing efficiency and quality.

[0026] In addition, a pressing plate is provided on the tooling installation plate 3, and the pressing plate is connected to the component positioning plate 4 through fasteners to press the component positioning plate 4 from the top. This structural design can effectively fix the component positioning plate 4 to prevent it from loosening or shifting during processing, ensure the stable installation of the ultra-thin component on the component positioning plate 4, improve the stability during processing, avoid processing errors caused by the instability of the component positioning plate 4, and ensure processing accuracy and quality.

[0027] The floating pressure regulating mechanism 6 includes an adjusting screw and a spring, wherein the adjusting screw is arranged between the tooling mounting plate 3 and the top plate 22, and the spring is arranged on the outside of the adjusting screw. The pressure regulating mechanism 6 can adjust the pressure between the tooling mounting plate 3 and the support frame 2 according to the processing requirements. This design enables the tooling to adapt to ultra-thin components of different thicknesses and materials. By adjusting the pressure, it is ensured that the components are subjected to appropriate clamping force during the processing to prevent the components from being deformed or damaged. At the same time, the stability and processing accuracy of the components are ensured, and the applicability and flexibility of the tooling are improved. When adjusting the pressure, the pressure between the component positioning plate 4 and the support frame 2 can be accurately controlled by rotating the adjusting screw. The setting of the spring can provide a stable elastic force, making the pressure regulation smoother, which is conducive to adapting to the pressure requirements under different processing conditions and ensuring the stability and processing quality of ultra-thin components during the processing.

[0028] The component positioning plate 4 includes a base plate 41, a pad 42, a positioning block 43 and a pressure strip 44. The pad 42 is arranged on the surface of the base plate 41. A positioning block 43 is arranged on one side of the base plate 41. The pressure strip 44 is connected to the positioning block 43 through fasteners to fix the processed ultra-thin component on the pad 42. This structural design can effectively fix the ultra-thin component and ensure its stability and position accuracy during the processing. The arrangement of the pad 42 and the positioning block 43 can provide good support and positioning for the ultra-thin component. The use of the pressure strip 44 can further enhance the fixing effect of the component, prevent the ultra-thin component from shifting or deforming during the processing, and improve the processing accuracy and quality.

[0029] A first locking and fixing device 7 is also provided on the substrate 41 at the opposite side of the positioning block 43, which is used to press the ultra-thin component to be processed from the side; a gasket 45 is also provided on the positioning block 43, and the gasket 45 corresponds to the first locking and fixing device 7 one by one. The first locking and fixing device 7 can further fix the ultra-thin component from the side to ensure its stability during the processing and prevent the ultra-thin component from lateral movement or tilting. The provision of the gasket 45 can protect the surface of the component and avoid damage to the component due to the pressing of the first locking and fixing device 7, thereby improving the protection of the tooling and the processing accuracy.

[0030] The substrate 41 is also provided with a second locking device 8, which is used to press the ultra-thin component to be processed from the top. This design can further fix the ultra-thin component from the top, ensure its stability during processing, prevent the ultra-thin component from moving or vibrating in the vertical direction, and cooperate with the second locking and fixing device 8 on the side to form an all-round fixing effect, improve the stability and processing accuracy of the ultra-thin component, and reduce the processing error caused by the displacement of the ultra-thin component.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first locking and fixing device 7 and the second locking and fixing device 8 include a top screw fixing block and a top screw, wherein the top screw fixing block is arranged on the component positioning plate 4, and the top screw is arranged on the top screw fixing block. By adjusting the depth of the top screw in the top screw fixing block, the side and top of the ultra-thin component can be locked. This structural design makes the locking and fixing more flexible and accurate, and can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the ultra-thin component, so as to ensure the stability and position accuracy of the component during the processing, and improve the applicability and processing quality of the tooling.

[0032] The ultra-thin component side precision machining clamping tooling based on the above-mentioned structure, after the ultra-thin component is installed in place on the component positioning plate, not only the perpendicularity of the processed side surface and the two adjacent side surfaces is guaranteed, but also the perpendicularity of the processed side surface and the large surface can be guaranteed, and the relative relationship does not change during the processing; and the overall movement direction of the component positioning plate 4 on the support frame 2 is parallel to the direction of the large surface and the two adjacent side surfaces. Through this high-precision flatness control, the processing quality of ultra-thin components can be significantly improved to meet the needs of high-precision applications, and can adapt to ultra-thin components of different thicknesses and materials, as well as different processing conditions and requirements. This flexibility and adaptability enables the tooling to be quickly adjusted to the optimal state during the processing, reducing the processing time loss caused by tooling adjustment and improving processing efficiency.
