[0002] MIM is the abbreviation of Metal Injection Molding. It mixes metal powder with binder for granulation, injects the granulated raw material into a mold to form a MIM green body, and finally realizes the production of parts through debinding and sintering. The MIM process is divided into: 1. Kneading and granulation, 2. Injection molding, 3. Placing parts, 4. Debinding, 5. Sintering. Through the above five steps, the production of parts is achieved.

[0003] For the sintering in the production of titanium alloy MIM parts, the sintering fixture generally includes a zirconia ceramic plate and a zirconia crucible. During use, the staff places the product to be sintered on the zirconia ceramic plate, covers the zirconia crucible on the product to be sintered, so that the zirconia crucible cover and the zirconia ceramic plate enclose a closed space, and the product to be sintered is located in this closed space to ensure that the product to be sintered is in a closed environment during sintering, avoiding the problem of surface oxidation during sintering.

[0004] In the prior art, when sintering MIM parts by using the cooperation of a zirconia ceramic plate and a zirconia crucible, the crucible is prone to deformation and chipping after entering the sintering furnace. After deformation, it will cause air leakage, resulting in surface oxidation of the product. Multiple products to be sintered require multiple zirconia crucibles to ensure that the products to be sintered are located in a closed environment during sintering. The sintering fixture has a high cost and a low loading capacity of the sintering furnace. Summary of the Utility Model

[0027] To further understand the content, features and effects of this application, the following embodiments are cited and detailed as follows in conjunction with the attached drawings.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a three - dimensional view of a general sintering fixture for MIM parts. In this example, the general sintering fixture for MIM parts includes a bottom plate 1, a gear bar assembly 2 and a cover plate 3. The gear bar assembly 2 encloses one surface of the bottom plate 1, the cover plate 3 is covered on the gear bar assembly 2, and a closed space 4 is formed by enclosing between the bottom plate 1, the gear bar assembly 2 and the cover plate 3. The closed space 4 is used to carry products to be sintered.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2It is an exploded view of a general sintering fixture for MIM parts. Specifically, on one side of the bottom plate 1, there is a strip groove 11. The strip assembly 2 includes two first strips 21 and two second strips 22. The first strips 21 and the second strips 22 are staggered and arranged in the strip groove 11. One second strip 22 is clamped to one end of the two first strips 21, and the other second strip 22 is clamped to the other end of the two first strips 21. The cover plate 3 is covered on the two first strips 21 and the two second strips 22. That is, each first strip 21 is adjacent to the two second strips 22, and each second strip 22 is adjacent to the two first strips 21. That is to say, the head and tail of the first strip 21 are respectively connected to the two second strips 22, and the head and tail of the second strip 22 are respectively connected to the two first strips 21. Among them, both the first strip 21 and the second strip 22 are detachably connected to the strip groove 11, and the cover plate 3 is also detachably connected to the first strip 21 and the second strip 22. In this example, the two first strips 21 are parallel to each other, the two second strips 22 are parallel to each other, and the first strip 21 is perpendicular to the second strip 22. The size of the general sintering fixture for MIM parts can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of different products.

[0030] In specific applications, the staff lay multiple products to be sintered on the side of the bottom plate 1 provided with the strip groove 11, install the two first strips 21 and the two second strips 22 onto the strip groove 11 of the bottom plate 1 respectively, and then cover the cover plate 3 on the two first strips 21 and the two second strips 22 located in the strip groove 11, so that a closed space 4 is formed by enclosing between the bottom plate 1, the strip assembly 2 and the cover plate 3, and the products to be sintered are located in the closed space 4; it is also possible to first install the two first strips 21 and the two second strips 22 onto the strip groove 11 of the bottom plate 1 respectively, then lay the products to be sintered on the side of the bottom plate 1 provided with the strip groove 11, and finally place the general sintering fixture for MIM parts loaded with the products to be sintered into the sintering furnace loading to complete the sintering of the products to be sintered.

[0031] In this way, by using the general sintering fixture for MIM parts to sinter the products to be sintered, compared with the original scheme of using crucibles and ceramic plates, the products to be sintered do not need to correspond to the crucibles one by one. Instead, multiple products to be sintered are laid on the bottom plate 1. The utilization rate of the closed space 4 inside the fixture is high. And the general sintering fixture for MIM parts has only 6 parts when disassembled, and the loading work for sintering can be completed only by assembling these 6 parts. Compared with the existing sintering fixture scheme, it has obvious cost advantages, the whole furnace loading capacity of the products increases, and the product cost is reduced.

[0032] Furthermore, the bottom plate 1 is rectangular, there are four strip grooves 11, the strip grooves 11 are arranged along the edge of the bottom plate 1, and each strip groove 11 extends from one end of the bottom plate 1 to the other end of the bottom plate 1. The two first strips 21 are respectively located in two opposite strip grooves 11, and the two second strips 22 are respectively located in the other two strip grooves 11.

[0033] Specifically, the four strip grooves 11 are respectively parallel to the four sides of the bottom plate 1, and each strip groove 11 extends from one end of the bottom plate 1 to the other end of the bottom plate 1, that is, the adjacent strip grooves 11 intersect and penetrate through. Both the two first strips 21 and the two second strips 22 can be installed in the strip grooves 11. After the two first strips 21 and the two second strips 22 are installed in the strip grooves 11, the two first strips 21 and the two second strips 22 are respectively clamped with the strip grooves 11, and both the two first strips 21 and the two second strips 22 are detachably connected to the strip grooves 11.

[0034] In this way, the first strip 21 and the second strip 22 can be directly inserted into the strip groove 11, and the installation of the first strip 21 in the strip groove 11 does not affect the installation of the second strip 22 in the strip groove 11.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is the exploded view of the hidden cover plate of the general sintering fixture for MIM parts. Further, on the side of the first strip 21 facing away from the bottom plate 1, there are two first clamping grooves 211, which are respectively located at both ends of the first strip 21. On the side of the second strip 22 facing the bottom plate 1, there are two second clamping grooves 221, which are respectively located at both ends of the second strip 22. One end of the first strip 21 is buckled with the second clamping groove 221 of one of the second strips 22 through the first clamping groove 211, and the other end of the first strip 21 is buckled with the second clamping groove 221 of the other second strip 22 through the first clamping groove 211.

[0036] In this way, when installing the strip assembly 2 to the bottom plate 1, the two first strips 21 can be installed to the two strip grooves 11 first. After the two first strips 21 are respectively inserted into the strip grooves 11, the two first strips 21 are respectively installed to the two strip grooves 11. The second clamping grooves 221 of the second strips 22 can be directly buckled and clamped with the first clamping grooves 211 of the first strips 21, ensuring the stability of the strip assembly 2. The installation process is simple and convenient, and it is also convenient to disassemble.

[0037] Further, the bottom plate 1 is made of zirconia ceramics.

[0038] In this way, the bottom plate 1 has high hardness and high toughness and is not easily damaged.

[0039] Further, the first strip 21 and the second strip 22 are made of alumina ceramics, the cover plate 3 is made of alumina ceramics, the bottom plate 1 uses zirconia ceramics, and the rest of the components are all made of alumina ceramic materials. Only the alumina ceramics are vulnerable parts, and the replacement cost is low.

[0040] Further, the first strip 21 and the second strip 22 have the same height. In this way, after the cover plate 3 is covered on the strip assembly 2, the sealing performance of the sealed space is good, the sealed space 4 is not easily air-leaked, and the oxidation of the product surface can be avoided.

[0041] Furthermore, the cross-section of the cover plate 3 is rectangular, so that the shape of the cover plate 3 matches the shape of the bottom plate 1.

[0042] In summary, by using the MIM part universal sintering fixture to sinter the products to be sintered, compared with the original scheme of crucible combined with ceramic plate, the products to be sintered do not need to correspond to the crucibles one by one. Instead, multiple products to be sintered are laid on the bottom plate. The utilization rate of the closed space inside the fixture is high. And the MIM part universal sintering fixture only has 6 disassembled parts, and the loading work for sintering can be completed only by assembling these 6 parts. Compared with the existing sintering fixture scheme, it has obvious cost advantages, the whole furnace loading capacity of the products increases, and the product cost is reduced.

[0043] The above are only the embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present application.
