[0026] Embodiment one

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, a kind of MIM product sintering auxiliary jig, including workpiece clamping and fixing assembly 1, support assembly 2, auxiliary fixing assembly 3.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The auxiliary jig for sintering MIM products includes a workpiece clamping and fixing assembly 1, a support assembly 2 installed at the bottom of the workpiece clamping and fixing assembly 1, and an auxiliary fixing assembly 3 installed at the top of the support assembly 2. The workpiece clamping and fixing assembly 1 includes a support rod 101, a metal shell 102 fixedly connected to the side of the support rod 101, a spring 103 fixedly connected to the inside of the metal shell 102, a connecting rod 104 fixedly connected to the end of the spring 103, and a clamping plate 105 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 104. The support rod 101 and the metal shell 102 are integrally arranged, the metal shell 102 and the spring 103 are arranged in vertical coaxial arrangement, the connecting rod 104 and the metal shell 102 form an elastic structure through the spring 103, and the clamping plate 105 has elasticity due to the spring 103. When clamping the MIM product, the elastic structure can automatically adapt to the size tolerance of the product. For example, if there is a certain manufacturing error in the size of the MIM product or there is a slight thermal expansion during sintering, the spring 103 can adjust the position of the clamping plate 105 through expansion and contraction, ensuring that the product is stably clamped without causing deformation or damage to the product due to excessive clamping force. This is very important for ensuring the shape accuracy of the product during sintering. The sliding structure formed by the connecting rod 104 and the metal shell 102 not only ensures the normal expansion and contraction of the spring 103, but also limits the movement direction of the clamping plate 105. In this way, the clamping plate 105 only performs linear motion under the action of the spring 103, accurately applying clamping force to the product; the connecting rod 104 and the metal shell 102 are arranged in vertical coaxial arrangement, the connecting rod 104 and the metal shell 102 form a sliding structure, and the connecting rod 104 and the clamping plate 105 are integrally arranged.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 4 The auxiliary jig for sintering MIM products includes a workpiece clamping and fixing assembly 1, a support assembly 2 installed at the bottom of the workpiece clamping and fixing assembly 1, and an auxiliary fixing assembly 3 installed at the top of the support assembly 2. The workpiece clamping and fixing assembly 1 includes a support rod 101, a metal shell 102 fixedly connected to the side of the support rod 101, a spring 103 fixedly connected to the inside of the metal shell 102, a connecting rod 104 fixedly connected to the end of the spring 103, and a clamping plate 105 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 104. The support rod 101 and the metal shell 102 are integrally arranged, the metal shell 102 and the spring 103 are arranged in vertical coaxial arrangement, the connecting rod 104 and the metal shell 102 form an elastic structure through the spring 103, and the clamping plate 105 has elasticity due to the spring 103. When clamping the MIM product, the elastic structure can automatically adapt to the size tolerance of the product. For example, if there is a certain manufacturing error in the size of the MIM product or there is a slight thermal expansion during sintering, the spring 103 can adjust the position of the clamping plate 105 through expansion and contraction, ensuring that the product is stably clamped without causing deformation or damage to the product due to excessive clamping force. This is very important for ensuring the shape accuracy of the product during sintering. The sliding structure formed by the connecting rod 104 and the metal shell 102 not only ensures the normal expansion and contraction of the spring 103, but also limits the movement direction of the clamping plate 105. In this way, the clamping plate 105 only performs linear motion under the action of the spring 103, accurately applying clamping force to the product; the connecting rod 104 and the metal shell 102 are arranged in vertical coaxial arrangement, the connecting rod 104 and the metal shell 102 form a sliding structure, and the connecting rod 104 and the clamping plate 105 are integrally arranged.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 5 The auxiliary fixing assembly 3 includes a buckle 301, the end of the buckle 301 is fixedly connected with an inner thread rod 302, the inner thread rod 302 is internally threadedly connected with a threaded rod 303, and the end of the threaded rod 303 is fixedly connected with a friction block 304. The inner thread rod 302 is provided with a clamping structure formed by the buckle 301, the clamping groove 202 and the support frame 201, so that the auxiliary fixing assembly 3 can be closely connected with the supporting assembly 2. This connection mode can effectively resist external interference during sintering, and ensure that the auxiliary fixing assembly 3 will not easily loosen or shift. For example, in a high-temperature sintering environment, factors such as equipment vibration or thermal expansion may affect the stability of the jig, but the clamping structure can ensure that the position of the auxiliary fixing assembly 3 on the support frame 201 is fixed, providing continuous and stable auxiliary fixing effect for the MIM product. The friction force between the friction block 304 and the MIM product is one of the key factors for fixing the product. By rotating the threaded rod 303 to adjust the position of the friction block 304, the pressure between the friction block 304 and the product can be controlled, thereby optimizing the size of the friction force. Suitable friction force can better fix the product, prevent the product from shaking and shifting during sintering, and further improve the quality and precision of product sintering. The inner thread rod 302 forms a clamping structure with the buckle 301, the clamping groove 202 and the support frame 201, the friction block 304 forms a sliding structure with the inner thread rod 302 through the threaded rod 303, and the threaded rod 303 and the inner thread rod 302 form a threaded structure.

[0031] Working principle: first rotate the bolt 205 and make the hoop 203 loose with the support frame 201, adjust the position of the support plate 206, after adjusting the support plate 206 to the appropriate position, rotate the bolt 205 again to fix, after the position of the support plate 206 is fixed, when the MIM workpiece is placed between the clamping plate 105, the workpiece exerts pressure on the clamping plate 105, so that the clamping plate 105 moves to both sides, the clamping plate 105 compresses the spring 103 through the connecting rod 104, and the spring 103 generates a reaction force proportional to the compression amount, which is transmitted back to the clamping plate 105 through the connecting rod 104, so that the clamping plate 105 exerts clamping force on the workpiece to clamp and fix the workpiece, and the integrated design of the support rod 101 and the metal shell 102 ensures the stability of the whole structure when bearing the clamping force. During the expansion and contraction of the spring 103, the vertical central axis of the metal shell 102 and the spring 103 coincides, so that the spring 103 is uniformly stressed, and the stable play of its elasticity is ensured. At the same time, the sliding structure composed of the connecting rod 104 and the metal shell 102 limits the movement direction of the connecting rod 104, so that the clamping plate 105 can only move in the direction perpendicular to the support rod 101, ensuring the accurate application of clamping force and improving the accuracy and reliability of clamping. Then put the support frame 201 with the workpiece into the sintering device, then connect the auxiliary fixing assembly 3 on the support frame 201 through the buckle 301, rotate the threaded rod 303 and the friction block 304 to extend, so that the friction block 304 is attached to the inner surface of the sintering device for auxiliary fixing, then open the sintering device to sinter the workpiece, and all the materials are high-temperature-resistant materials, which can avoid damage during sintering.
