Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallographic polishing fixing technology, specifically a positioning metallographic polishing sample fixing device. Background Technology
[0002] Metallography refers to the chemical composition of metals or alloys, as well as the physical and chemical states of various components within the alloy. The metallographic sample preparation process involves four steps: cutting and taking samples, mounting samples, mechanical sample preparation, and sample inspection. Currently, the standard procedure for mounting samples is to mount the samples in resin for easy handling, which can improve the sample preparation effect.
[0003] Extensive research revealed that Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN212340788U discloses a positioning metallographic polishing sample fixing device. The fixing device has an internal through-hole, which, along the axial direction, consists of a moving hole, a central hole, and an outlet hole. A pre-tightening rod is fitted inside the moving hole, and the bottom of the pre-tightening rod is detachably connected to an adhesive piece. The adhesive piece is located inside the central hole and can move axially within the central hole under the action of the pre-tightening rod. A positioning element is radially arranged on the fixing device to control the pushing length of the pre-tightening rod, thereby adjusting the position of the metallographic surface to be polished.
[0004] While the above-mentioned approach has many advantages, it also has the following disadvantages: the device uses glue to fix the sample to the adhesive sheet, which is not only cumbersome but also makes it difficult to easily separate the sample from the adhesive sheet. Furthermore, the method of using magnets to attract the adhesive sheet can affect the stability of sample processing. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] The sample is placed from the outlet 12 cavity into the middle cavity 11 cavity of the device body 1, and the sample is brought into contact with one side of the fixing plate 2. Then the first screw 5 is rotated, which drives the threaded ring 6 away from or closer to the fixing plate 2. Thus, the two clamping plates 4 are brought closer to each other and clamped by the connecting rod 7, thus completing the fixation of the sample.
[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes two fixed rods 8 fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 2. A connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected between the movable ends of the two fixed rods 8. A second screw 10 is rotatably connected between the connecting plate 9 and the fixed plate 2. A first screw 5 is rotatably connected between the connecting plate 9 and the fixed plate 2. The fixed rods 8 and the second screw 10 are both located outside the first screw 5, and the fixed rods 8 and the second screw 10 are both offset from the connecting rod 7. Notches are opened on the outer side of the threaded ring 6 at the corresponding positions of the fixed rods 8 and the second screw 10. The fixed rods 8 and the second screw 10 are respectively set in the cavity of each notch.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the device body 1 has an internal intermediate cavity 11.

The fixed plate 2 slides in the cavity of the intermediate cavity 11. The outer diameter of the outlet 12 and the movable cavity 13 is smaller than the outer diameter of the intermediate cavity 11.
[0027] By rotating the second screw 10, the second screw 10 drives the fixing plate 2 to slide in the cavity of the intermediate cavity 11 through the threaded hole, and thus the length of the sample extending out of the outlet 12 can be adjusted.

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the movable ends of the first screw 5 and the second screw 10 are both fixedly connected to a rocker plate 16, and both rocker plates 16 are located on the side of the connecting plate 9 away from the fixed plate 2.
[0031] By rotating the two rocker plates 16, the two rocker plates 16 respectively drive the first screw 5 and the second screw 10 to rotate.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, a concave groove is provided on one side of the fixing plate 2, and a magnet 17 is installed in the cavity of the concave groove. An adhesive piece 18 is attached to one side of the magnet 17. An adhesive layer is applied to the inner wall of the concave groove, and the magnet 17 is attached to the inner wall of the concave groove through the adhesive layer.
[0033] The adhesive piece 18 is made of metal, so it can be attached to the fixing plate 2 by using the magnet 17.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the clamping plate 4 includes a slider 401 and an extension plate 402 that are fixedly connected to each other. The two extension plates 402 are both set in a stepped shape on the opposite side. The extension plate 402 includes a crossbar and an arc plate that are fixedly connected to each other. The crossbar and the arc plate are set perpendicular to each other. The side of the arc plate away from the crossbar is set in a stepped shape.
[0035] The sample is held stably by two curved plates.
