All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] In the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0020] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence, nor should they be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0021] Example 1 Sintered Support Fixture

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the firing fixture for complex structural components of this application includes a fixture body. In this embodiment, the fixture body is 120mm long and 100mm wide. A fixing groove 1 is provided along the longitudinal direction of the fixture body. The fixing groove 1 has the same length as the fixture body and a width of 14.55±0.15mm. The fixing groove 1 is 6.35mm away from the left and right edges of the fixture body.

[0023] Positioning grooves 3 are provided at intervals along both sides of the fixing groove 1. The positioning groove 3 is 4.5 mm from the front and rear edges of the fixture body, 3.5 mm deep, and 4.6 ± 0.15 mm wide, with a front-to-back distance of 3 mm between adjacent positioning grooves 3. In one embodiment, the fixture body has at least two rows of fixing grooves 1, with a distance of 9.7 mm between adjacent rows of fixing grooves 1, and adjacent fixing grooves 1 share one positioning groove 3. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, four rows of fixing slots can be set according to the actual width of the fixture body.

[0024] A clearance groove 2 is provided at the center of the bottom of the fixed groove 1. The clearance groove 2 is 10.0±0.1mm wide and 0.05±0.1mm deep.

[0025] The firing fixture for the complex structural components of this application can be made of alumina ceramic material with a heat resistance temperature >1100℃. The alumina ceramic includes Al2O3≥99%, SiO2≤0.20%, Na2O≤0.15%, Fe2O3≤0.10%, and MgO≤0.10%.

[0026] Products manufactured using metal powder injection molding need to be placed on a sintering fixture for sintering, but conventional fixtures have rough surfaces. For products with weak structures, this can easily lead to significant deformation after sintering, making subsequent reshaping and correction difficult.

[0027] When using the sintering fixture with the complex structure of this application, the sintered product is suspended in the fixing groove 1 through the positioning groove 3. The sintered product is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the fixture and has a certain gap with the bottom surface of the fixture through the clearance groove 2, i.e., it is in a suspended state. By setting the clearance groove 2, the contact area between the bottom surface of the sintered product and the bottom surface of the fixture can be reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the sintered product and the fixture. When the product shrinks during the sintering process, it can reduce the deformation of the sintered product, reduce the need for subsequent shaping, and effectively reduce production costs.

[0028] Currently, the design and use of USB housings are increasing. However, USB housing products have a thin structure and low strength, and as mentioned earlier, they are prone to deformation during sintering. Furthermore, USB housing products require high processing precision, and post-deformation processing is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, the sintering fixture of this application is particularly suitable for products like USB housings that require high precision but are easily deformed during the sintering process.

[0029] The sintering fixture for complex structural components disclosed in this application includes a fixture body, a fixing groove arranged longitudinally along the fixture body, positioning grooves spaced apart on both sides of the fixing groove, and a clearance groove at the center of the bottom of the fixing groove. The positioning grooves are spaced 3mm apart. This sintering fixture for complex structural components reduces the contact area between the product and the fixture during sintering, lowers friction between the product and the fixture, minimizes deformation during sintering shrinkage, significantly reduces product deformation caused by sintering, effectively lowers production costs, and improves production efficiency.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
