They are primarily used in refractory materials, photovoltaics, high-temperature metallurgy, the atomic energy industry, and defense. For example, graphite blocks can be used to manufacture graphite electrodes, graphite crucibles, and graphite reactor cores.

[0003] The patent document with application number 202320064808.0 discloses a graphite block processing tooling including a lathe, a fixture and a tool.

However, traditional graphite block processing tooling mostly uses fixed fixtures or simple clamping devices, which are difficult to adapt to graphite blocks of different shapes and sizes. As a result, the tooling needs to be frequently replaced during the processing, which reduces processing efficiency and affects processing quality. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A convenient graphite block processing tool comprises a mounting frame and two support frames, wherein the two support frames are located on both sides of the mounting frame, and further comprises:

[0008] Limiting mechanism: located at the top of the mounting frame, the limiting mechanism includes two limiting clamps, a first guide groove is provided on one side outer wall of the limiting clamp, the inner wall of the first guide groove is slidably connected with the first movable clamp, the top outer wall of the first movable clamp is provided with a first limiting groove, two second guide grooves are provided on one side outer wall of the first movable clamp, the inner wall of the second guide groove is slidably connected with the second movable clamp, the top outer wall of the second movable clamp is provided with a second limiting groove, two fixed clamping blocks are provided on one side outer wall of the second movable clamp, and the bottom outer wall of the limiting clamp is provided with a clamping assembly.

[0010] In this solution, the graphite block to be processed is first placed on the support frame, and then the clamping assembly is used to drive the two limit clamps to approach each other. During the squeezing process on both sides of the graphite block, the first movable clamp and the second movable clamp slide and deflect by a certain angle in the first guide groove and the two second guide grooves respectively according to the shape and size of the actual graphite block.

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and marked in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] The utility model discloses an easy-to-use graphite block processing tool mainly used in scenarios where traditional graphite block processing tool mostly adopts fixed fixtures or simple clamping devices, which are difficult to adapt to graphite blocks of different shapes and sizes, resulting in the need to frequently replace the tool during the processing, reducing the processing efficiency and affecting the processing quality.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 A graphite block processing tool that is easy to use includes a mounting frame 1 and two support frames 2, the two support frames 2 are located on both sides of the mounting frame 1, and also includes:

[0025] Limiting mechanism: Located at the top of the mounting frame 1, the limiting mechanism includes two limiting clips 6, one side outer wall of the limiting clip 6 is provided with a first guide groove 13, the inner wall of the first guide groove 13 is slidably connected to the first movable clip 14, the top outer wall of the first movable clip 14 is provided with a first limiting groove 15, one side outer wall of the first movable clip 14 is provided with two second guide grooves 16, the inner wall of the second guide groove 16 is slidably connected to the second movable clip 17, the top outer wall of the second movable clip 17 is provided with a second limiting groove 18, one side outer wall of the second movable clip 17 is provided with two fixed clamping blocks 19, and the bottom outer wall of the limiting clip 6 is provided with a clamping assembly;

[0026] Adjustment mechanism: located on one side of the mounting frame 1.

[0027] The second movable clamp 17 has a semicircular structure, which better accommodates graphite block edges of varying shapes and sizes. Compared to clamping elements with straight or sharp edges, the semicircular structure of the second movable clamp 17 distributes pressure more evenly during the clamping process, reducing stress concentration at the graphite block edges. This helps prevent breakage or deformation of the graphite block due to localized excessive stress during machining, thereby protecting the block surface.

[0028] During specific use, the first guide groove 13, the first limiting groove 15, the second limiting groove 18 and the second guide groove 16 are all arc-shaped structures. The arc-shaped structure can naturally conform to the curves or irregular edges of the graphite block, thereby providing a better fit during the clamping process. This also helps to reduce gaps or uneven pressure caused by shape mismatch, ensuring that the graphite block remains stable during processing. At the same time, the design of the arc groove enables the first movable clamp 14 and the second movable clamp 17 to move along a smooth trajectory during movement, reducing friction and resistance, which helps to achieve more precise and smooth clamping actions and improve processing efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, when in use, the graphite block to be processed is placed on the support frame 2, and then the clamping assembly is used to drive the two limit clamps 6 to approach each other. During the squeezing process on both sides of the graphite block, the first movable clamp 14 and the second movable clamp 17 slide and deflect by a certain angle in the first guide groove 13 and the two second guide grooves 16 according to the shape and size of the actual graphite block, and then one side of the fixed clamp block 19 is pressed against the surface of the graphite block. During use, a layer of rubber film can be added or coated on one side of the fixed clamp block 19. This arrangement is convenient for preventing the surface of the graphite block from being scratched. By optimizing the clamping force distribution and reducing the clamping deformation, the processing accuracy and surface quality of the graphite parts are improved. Then, according to the multi-angle processing requirements in the actual graphite block processing process, the adjustment mechanism is used to drive the entire mounting frame 1 to rotate, thereby meeting complex processing requirements, improving processing efficiency, and reducing processing errors.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a threaded rod 10, one end of the threaded rod 10 passes through the outer walls on both sides of the mounting frame 1, and a first limit frame 3 is provided on the inner wall on the opposite side of one of the support frames 2. One end of the threaded rod 10 is connected to the inner wall of one side of the first limit frame 3 through a bearing, and the end of the threaded rod 10 away from the first limit frame 3 is fixedly connected to the knob 9. A fixing groove 11 is provided on the inner wall of the opposite side of the mounting frame 1, and the circumferential outer wall of the threaded rod 10 is connected to two moving blocks 12 by threads. The moving block 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove 11, and the limiting clamp 6 is installed on the top outer wall of the moving block 12.

[0031] The outer circumferential wall of the threaded rod 10 is provided with two threads in opposite directions, so that the two movable blocks 12 can move closer to or farther away from each other along the straight line of the outer circumferential wall of the threaded rod 10 when limited by the fixed groove 11.

[0032] During specific use, support plates 5 are provided on both outer walls of the installation frame 1. The support plates 5 are provided to provide support for large-sized graphite blocks, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0033] Specifically, when in use, the operator turns the knob 9, thereby driving the threaded rod 10 to rotate. The two movable blocks 12 are limited by the fixed groove 11, and the two limiting clamps 6 approach or move away from each other as the threaded rod 10 rotates, thereby effectively clamping and limiting the two sides of the graphite block.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a motor 7, the output shaft of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 8, the fixing frame 8 is connected to the mounting frame 1, and a second limit frame 4 is provided on the inner wall of the opposite side of one of the support frames 2, and the motor 7 is installed on the inner wall of one side of the second limit frame 4.

[0035] Specifically, according to the multi-angle processing requirements in the actual graphite block processing process, the output shaft of the motor 7 is used to drive the fixed frame 8 to rotate, so that the entire mounting frame 1 and the limiting mechanism on the mounting frame 1 rotate synchronously with the fixed frame 8, thereby realizing multi-angle adjustment of the graphite block to meet its processing requirements.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, the graphite block to be processed is placed on the support frame 2, and then the clamping assembly is used to drive the two limit clamps 6 to approach each other. In the process of squeezing both sides of the graphite block, the first movable clamp 14 and the second movable clamp 17 slide and deflect by a certain angle in the first guide groove 13 and the two second guide grooves 16 according to the shape and size of the actual graphite block, and then one side of the fixed clamp block 19 is pressed against the surface of the graphite block. During use, a layer of rubber film can be added or coated on one side of the fixed clamp block 19. This arrangement is convenient for preventing the surface of the graphite block from being scratched. By optimizing the clamping force distribution and reducing the clamping deformation, the processing accuracy and surface quality of the graphite parts are improved. Then, according to the multi-angle processing requirements in the actual graphite block processing process, the adjustment mechanism is used to drive the entire mounting frame 1 to rotate, thereby meeting complex processing requirements, improving processing efficiency, and reducing processing errors.
