[0027] The following is a detailed description of the inlay-free metallographic specimen clamping tool provided by the embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] See also Figure 1The present embodiment provides a fixture for clamping metallographic specimens without inlay, comprising: a fixture body 1, which is a hollow structure with an open end and a closed bottom wall at the other end, wherein the hollow portion of the fixture body 1 forms a piston cavity; a sample groove 2, which is formed on the outer side of the bottom wall of the fixture body 1 and is suitable for accommodating a metallographic specimen; an adsorption through-hole 3, which is provided on the bottom wall of the fixture body 1 within the range of the sample groove 2 and is connected to the piston cavity of the fixture body 1; and a piston assembly 4, which is disposed in the piston cavity of the fixture body 1 and is configured to generate a negative pressure in the piston cavity of the fixture body 1 so as to adsorb the metallographic specimen on the bottom wall of the fixture body 1.
[0030] In the above embodiment, preferably, please refer to Figure 3 The piston assembly 4 includes a piston base 5, which cooperates with the piston cavity of the tool body 1. The piston base 5 can enter the piston cavity of the tool body 1 through the open end of the tool body 1 and can move up and down along the piston cavity of the tool body 1; a piston pull rod 6, one end of which is tightly connected to the piston base 5; and a piston pull head 7, which is tightly connected to the other end of the piston pull rod 6. Through the above arrangement, when the piston pull head 7 is pulled up or down, the piston base 5 can be driven by the piston pull rod 6 to move up and down in the piston cavity of the tool body 1.
[0031] In the above embodiment, preferably, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 A fixing through hole 8 is opened on the side wall of the tooling body 1, and a retractable fixing bolt 9 is provided on the side wall of the piston base 5. The retractable fixing bolt 9 can enter the fixing through hole 8 to fix the piston base 5 in the piston cavity of the tooling body 1.
[0032] In the above embodiment, the retractable fixing bolt 9 preferably comprises a fixing bolt and a spring. A fixing bolt receiving groove is defined on the sidewall of the piston base 5, and the spring is disposed within the fixing bolt receiving groove, with the outer end of the spring securely connected to the fixing bolt. With this arrangement, when unstressed, the fixing bolt extends outside the fixing bolt receiving groove. However, when the fixing bolt is squeezed inward, the fixing bolt is compressed into the fixing bolt receiving groove. In other embodiments, the retractable fixing bolt 9 may also be configured as another retractable elastic component, such as a resilient rubber cylinder.
[0033] In the above embodiment, preferably, the fixing through holes 8 are arranged symmetrically along the center of the tool body 1, and the retractable fixing bolts 9 are arranged symmetrically along the center of the piston base 5 (see Figure 3 With the above arrangement, when the two retractable fixing bolts 9 respectively enter the corresponding fixing through holes 8 , the piston base 5 can be stably fixed in the piston cavity of the tool body 1 .
[0034] In the above embodiment, preferably, please refer to Figure 2 There are multiple adsorption holes 3, and the multiple adsorption holes 3 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction along concentric rings of varying diameters. Through this arrangement, the evenly distributed multiple adsorption holes 3 can provide a uniform adsorption force to the metallographic specimen, thereby allowing the metallographic specimen to be evenly adsorbed on the bottom wall of the tooling body 1, thereby preventing deformation of the metallographic specimen.
[0035] In the above embodiment, preferably, the tool body 1 and the piston cavity are both cylindrical, and the piston base 5 is also cylindrical to match the shape of the piston cavity.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] This embodiment provides a method for using the clamping tool for the non-mounting metallographic specimen in Example 1. The method for using the clamping tool is as follows:
[0038] First, place the piston base 5 of the piston assembly 4 into the piston cavity of the tool body 1 and push the piston pull head 7 so that the piston base 5 contacts the bottom wall of the tool body 1;
[0039] Then, place the metallographic sample in the sample groove 2 and ensure that the adsorption through-hole 3 is completely covered by the metallographic sample;
[0040] Finally, the piston pull head 7 is pulled upward to move the piston base 5 upward, thereby generating negative pressure in the piston chamber of the tool body 1. The metallographic sample is adsorbed on the bottom wall of the tool body 1 through the adsorption through-hole. When the retractable fixing pin 9 on the piston base 5 reaches the fixing through-hole 8, the retractable fixing pin 9 automatically pops out and enters the fixing through-hole 8, thereby achieving fixed clamping of the metallographic sample.
[0041] After the grinding and polishing is completed, the retractable fixing bolt 9 is squeezed inward and the piston pull head 7 is pushed downward to realize the disassembly and observation of the metallographic sample.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them.
