Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tantalum ingot sawing fixtures, in particular to a fixture for improving the batch sawing accuracy of tantalum ingots. Background Art

[0002] The production of tantalum targets generally uses tantalum ingots as raw materials. After the cylindrical tantalum ingots are sawed into tantalum blocks of a certain size, their thickness is changed by pressure processing to obtain an approximately circular ingot material. The circular ingot is then processed to the required thickness and outer diameter by rolling to obtain the tantalum target blank. The blank is then placed in a melting furnace for electron beam melting treatment. Since the initial tantalum ingot is cylindrical, the position of the tantalum ingot needs to be fixed when it is cut into tantalum blocks of different sizes. The most important thing is to maintain concentricity. Therefore, a fixture is needed to clamp the tantalum ingot to meet the cutting production requirements and cut it into multiple tantalum blocks that meet the requirements.

[0003] In the process of cutting tantalum ingots, top-down sawing is often used. In order to obtain tantalum blocks that meet the size requirements, it is necessary to ensure the feed amount and the verticality of the sawing surface. The feed amount can be achieved by the feed cylinder. The main influencing factor of the verticality of the sawing surface is the concentricity of the tantalum ingot feeding and cutting process. In the process of batch sawing, each sawing section will generate a top-down sawing pressure. The clamping method of the sawing section ring clamping alone cannot completely offset the sawing pressure. In addition, due to batch cutting, the length of the tantalum ingot is often longer. The longer uncut section will cause stress interference on the ring clamping position due to the downward gravity, which will eventually cause the tantalum ingot to have a longitudinal concentricity offset at the ring clamping position, and then cause the verticality of the tantalum block cutting surface to offset. Later repair is required to make the verticality of the end face of the tantalum block meet the use requirements, which greatly reduces the cutting accuracy of the tantalum block.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a fixture that improves the batch sawing accuracy of tantalum ingots to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to address the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a clamp for improving the batch sawing accuracy of tantalum ingots, which solves the problem in the prior art that each sawing section will generate sawing pressure from top to bottom, and the sawing pressure cannot be completely offset by only the clamping method of the sawing section ring clamping. In addition, due to batch cutting, the length of the tantalum ingots is often longer, and the longer uncut sections will cause stress interference to the ring clamping position due to the downward gravity, which will eventually cause the tantalum ingot to have a longitudinal concentricity offset at the ring clamping position, and then cause the verticality of the cut surface of the tantalum block to be offset. Later repair is required to make the verticality of the end face of the tantalum block meet the use requirements, which greatly reduces the cutting accuracy of the tantalum block.

Lower connecting columns are installed at symmetrical positions on the top of the lower fixed plate, and the two lower clamping rings are detachably connected to the corresponding lower connecting columns.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the upper fixing plate is detachably connected to the outer peripheral side wall of the cartridge via a connecting frame at the top center, upper connecting columns are connected to symmetrical positions at the bottom end of the upper fixing plate, and the two upper retaining rings are detachably connected to corresponding upper connecting columns.

In this state, the upper pressure seat and the multiple fastening wedges on the right side wall of the bottom support seat are on the same circumference, so the circular tantalum ingot can be concentrically limited near the sawing part of the tantalum ingot. At the same time, according to the length of the unsawn section at the left end of the tantalum ingot, the lower fixing plate is moved to a position close to the center of gravity section, so that the two lower clamping rings are used to provide an upward supporting force for the unsawn section of the tantalum ingot, so as to avoid stress interference on the annular clamping position caused by the downward gravity of the longer uncut section.

[0021] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model.

[0022] The utility model provides Figure 1-3 A clamp for improving the batch sawing accuracy of tantalum ingots shown in the figure comprises a bottom support seat 1 and an upper pressure seat 2 longitudinally slidably arranged above the bottom support seat 1, a side wall of the bottom support seat 1 and the upper pressure seat 2 close to each other is provided with a semicircular clamping groove 17 for clamping the round tantalum ingot, a plurality of fastening wedges 18 are connected to the right side walls of the bottom support seat 1 and the upper pressure seat 2 at the position adapted to the semicircular clamping groove 17, and the plurality of fastening wedges 18 are in the same circumference, a bottom plate 3 is connected to the bottom side of the left side wall of the bottom support seat 1, a side plate 4 is connected to the left side of the bottom plate 3, an end clamping assembly for feeding from left to right is arranged in the center of the right side wall of the side plate 4 for sliding horizontally left and right, the end clamping assembly comprises a butt plate 6 which can be abutted against the left end of the tantalum ingot and a clamping cylinder 7 extending from the left end of the butt plate 6, and the inner peripheral side wall of the clamping cylinder 7 A lower fixing plate 10 is arranged on the top surface of the bottom plate 3 so as to slide horizontally left and right against the peripheral side wall of the tantalum ingot. The symmetrical positions of the top ends of the lower fixing plates 10 are connected with lower retaining rings 12 which can abut against the lower half of the peripheral side wall of the tantalum ingot. The peripheral side wall of the cartridge 7 is connected with an upper fixing plate 14. The symmetrical positions of the bottom ends of the upper fixing plates 14 are connected with upper retaining rings 16 which can abut against the upper half of the peripheral side wall of the tantalum ingot. The plurality of lower retaining rings 12 and the plurality of upper retaining rings 16 are all on the same circumference. According to the length of the unsawn section at the left end of the tantalum ingot, the lower fixing plate 10 is moved to a position close to the center of gravity section, so as to utilize the two lower retaining rings 12 to provide an upward supporting force to the unsawn section of the tantalum ingot, so as to avoid stress interference on the annular clamping position between the upper pressure seat 2 and the bottom support seat 1 due to the downward gravity of the longer uncut section.

[0023] A slide rail 8 is installed at the top of the bottom plate 3, and a slide seat 9 which can slide horizontally left and right along the slide rail 8 is connected to the bottom end of the lower fixed plate 10. Lower connecting columns 11 are installed at symmetrical positions on the top of the lower fixed plate 10, and two lower retaining rings 12 are detachably connected to the corresponding lower connecting columns 11 respectively. The slide seat 9 slides horizontally left and right along the slide rail 8, which can change the contact position of the two lower retaining rings 12 and the tantalum ingot. The lateral sliding position and distance are ultimately determined according to the center of gravity of the unsawed section of the tantalum ingot at the left end.

[0024] The upper fixing plate 14 is detachably connected to the outer peripheral side wall of the cartridge 7 through the connecting frame 13 at the top center, and upper connecting columns 15 are connected to symmetrical positions at the bottom end of the upper fixing plate 14.

Downward pressure can be provided through the two upper clamping rings 16 to weaken the downward sawing force that causes stress interference on the annular clamping position between the upper pressure seat 2 and the bottom support seat 1.

[0025] The bottom sides of both side walls of the bottom support seat 1 are connected to a base 19, and the top sides of both side walls of the upper pressure seat 2 are connected to a top seat 20. A longitudinally retractable telescopic member 21 is installed on the top of the base 19. The top of the telescopic member 21 is detachably connected to the bottom of the top seat 20. The telescopic member 21 is longitudinally retracted to change the longitudinal position of the upper pressure seat 2, that is, to complete the switching of abutment, enclosure and separation of the two semicircular slots 17, that is, to complete the switching of annular clamping and release of the tantalum ingot.

[0028] A pusher 5 that can be extended and retracted horizontally to the left and right is connected to the center of the right side wall of the side plate 4. The right end of the pusher 5 is detachably connected to the center of the left end of the abutment plate 6. The pusher 5 is extended and retracted horizontally to complete the left and right lateral movement of the end clamping assembly, that is, to push the tantalum ingot from left to right, thereby completing the batch production of cutting the tantalum ingot into tantalum blocks.

[0029] In the utility model, the end clamping assembly moves horizontally from left to right, thereby completing the feeding of the tantalum ingot from left to right, and then forming a batch production process of sawing the tantalum ingot into tantalum blocks. During the sawing process, the upper pressure seat 2 is brought into contact with the bottom support seat 1 to enclose the two semicircular clamping grooves 17 to form a circular space, that is, to form an annular clamping position for clamping the tantalum ingot. In this state, the upper pressure seat 2 and the multiple fastening wedges 18 on the right side wall of the bottom support seat 1 are on the same circumference, so that the circular tantalum ingot can be concentrically limited near the sawing part of the tantalum ingot. At the same time, according to the length of the unsawn section at the left end of the tantalum ingot, the lower fixing plate 10 is moved to a position close to the center of gravity section, so that the two lower clamping rings 12 are used to provide an upward support force for the unsawn section of the tantalum ingot, so as to avoid the stress interference of the longer uncut section on the annular clamping position due to the downward gravity. In the process of batch sawing, the left end of the tantalum ingot is clamped by the back plate 6 and the chuck 7, so as to further ensure that the left end of the tantalum ingot remains concentric with the annular clamping position, and the two upper clamping rings 16 can provide downward pressure to weaken the stress interference of the downward sawing force on the annular clamping position. That is to say, in the batch sawing process, a plurality of fastening wedges 18 are used to perform concentric limiting at the position near the sawing, and a plurality of upper clamping rings 16 and a plurality of lower clamping rings 12 are used to provide downward pressure and support force to the tantalum ingot, so as to avoid the stress interference of the longer unsawn section of the tantalum ingot on the annular clamping position, and the back plate 6 and the chuck 7 are used to perform concentric limiting at the left end of the tantalum ingot, so as to finally avoid the longitudinal concentricity deviation of the tantalum ingot at the annular clamping position, thereby avoiding the verticality deviation of the cutting surface of the tantalum block, and improving the cutting accuracy of the batch sawing process of the tantalum block.

[0030] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
