[0029] Example
[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown,
[0031] A quick-locking fixture for easy installation of waveguide flanges includes, from left to right, a first millimeter-wave device 1 and a second millimeter-wave device 2. A first waveguide flange 11 is provided on the right side of the first millimeter-wave device 1, and a second waveguide flange 21 is provided on the left side of the second millimeter-wave device 2.
[0032] A tooling fixing block 3 is installed on the second millimeter-wave device 2, and a tooling sliding block 5 connected to the tooling fixing block 3 is installed on the first millimeter-wave device 1.
[0033] 1. The tooling fixing block 3 includes a fixing block body 31, a fixing block slot 32 for locking onto the second millimeter wave device 2 is provided on the inner side of the fixing block body 31, and a fixing block connecting part 33 is provided on the left side of the fixing block body 31.
[0034] 2. The tooling sliding block 5 includes a sliding block body 51. A sliding block cavity 52 is provided on the inner side of the sliding block body 51. A sliding block connecting part adapted to the fixed block connecting part 33 is provided in the sliding block cavity 52. The fixed block connecting part 33 extends into the sliding block cavity 52 and is connected to the sliding block connecting part.
[0035] In addition, a sliding block handle 53 is provided on the outside of the sliding block body 51. The sliding block handle 53 is composed of several anti-slip grooves to increase friction and make it convenient for the operator to pick up and use.
[0036] Specifically, the fixed block connecting part 33 passes through the second waveguide flange 21 and the first waveguide flange 11 from right to left before connecting with the sliding block connecting part. The external thread on the outer side of the fixed block connecting part 33 connects with the internal thread on the inner side of the sliding block connecting part.
[0037] 3. A tooling pad 4 is installed on the first millimeter-wave device 1 inside the inner cavity 52 of the sliding block. The tooling pad 4 includes a pad body 41, which is located inside the inner cavity 52 of the sliding block. A pad slot 42 for engaging with the first millimeter-wave device 1 is provided on the inner side of the pad body 41.
[0038] The working principle of this utility model:
[0039] This embodiment demonstrates a quick-locking fixture structure for easy waveguide flange installation, including a first millimeter-wave device 1, a second millimeter-wave device 2, a fixture fixing block 3, a fixture pad block 4, and a fixture sliding block 5. The fixture fixing block 3, fixture pad block 4, and fixture sliding block 5 all have a slot on one side, allowing the millimeter-wave device structure to pass through.
[0040] When using the fixture, we first align the two millimeter-wave devices 1 and 2. Then, we clamp the fixture pad 4 onto the flange of the first millimeter-wave device 1. Next, we clamp the fixture fixing block 3 onto the flange of the second millimeter-wave device 2. Finally, we connect the fixture fixing block 3 and the fixture sliding block 5 together using the fixture sliding block 5. Because the fixture fixing block 3 has external threads on its outer side and the fixture sliding block 5 has internal threads of the same specification on its inner wall, tightening the internal and external threads will secure the first millimeter-wave device 1 and the second millimeter-wave device 2 with waveguide flanges.
[0041] Compared with existing solutions, this invention effectively improves connection efficiency by avoiding the use of screw fastening. The tooling can be manufactured using only conventional methods, is simple in design and easy to process, and offers excellent cost-effectiveness.
