The present disclosure prevents the specimen from appearing round edge, inclination, edge pollution and other phenomena during grinding and polishing, improves the edge shape and edge quality of the sample, and provides accurate and effective test data for improving product process quality and new variety research and development.
[0034] Specifically, the clamped specimen of the present disclosure is a round bar metallographic specimen, the clamping position 4 can be arranged as a wedge-shaped groove or a supporting column, avoiding being arranged as a circular or arc-shaped groove as the clamping position 4, so that the round bar metallographic specimen can rotate in the clamping position 4, thereby affecting the grinding effect. The present disclosure specifically arranges the clamping position 4 as a wedge-shaped groove, and an anti-skid pad can also be arranged in the clamping position 4 to prevent the specimen from rotating during grinding.
[0035] The sliding distance of the second clamping body 2 in the mounting groove 11 can be adjusted according to the sample to be ground, and the sample in the embodiment of the present disclosure is a round bar sample with a size of 3-6 mm, so the sliding distance of the second clamping body 2 in the mounting groove 11 should be greater than 6 mm, so that the largest sample can be placed. A plurality of clamping positions 4 can simultaneously place a plurality of samples to improve the grinding efficiency, as shown in Figure 1 The number of clamping positions 4 in the present disclosure is specifically set to 3, and two round bar samples can be ground and polished at the same time, and the thickness of the sample groove can be designed according to the actual situation to meet the needs of different samples and improve the work efficiency of the inspectors. Moreover, the plurality of clamping positions 4 can clamp the sample at different positions to meet the needs of the sample position during grinding.
[0036] The driving member of the present disclosure can be set to automatic or manual, and the automatic driving member can select a telescopic air cylinder, a telescopic oil cylinder, a lead screw stepper motor, etc. The output end or moving end of the above mechanism abuts against or connects the second clamping body 2 to move it.

The driving member 3 can also be set to a bolt that is screwed with the first clamping body 1, and one end of the bolt is arranged in the mounting groove 11, and the end of the bolt abuts against the second clamping body 2 to move it when the bolt is rotated.
[0037] In some embodiments, the driving member 3 includes a rotating cap 31 and a screw rod 32, the screw rod 32 is screwed into or out of the mounting groove 11 from the side wall of the first clamping body 1, and one end of the screw rod 32 entering the mounting groove 11 is arranged corresponding to the side of the second clamping body 2 opposite to the second clamping area 21, and the rotating cap 31 is arranged at the end of the screw rod 32 outside the mounting groove 11.
[0038] In this embodiment, the screw rod 32 is screwed into or out of the mounting groove 11 from the side wall of the first clamping body 1, and one end of the screw rod 32 entering the mounting groove 11 is arranged corresponding to the side of the second clamping body 2 opposite to the second clamping area 21, and the rotating cap 31 is arranged at the end of the screw rod 32 outside the mounting groove 11. When in use, the rotating cap 31 is twisted to rotate the screw rod 32, and the end of the screw rod 32 abuts against the second clamping body 2 to move the second clamping area 21 on the second clamping body 2 towards the first clamping area 12, so as to clamp the sample placed between the second clamping area 21 and the first clamping area 12. This implementation can better maintain the clamping degree of the sample.
[0039] In some embodiments, the screw rod 32 is connected with the second clamping body 2 through the rotating shaft 5.
[0040] In this embodiment, the screw 32 is connected to the second clamping body 2 via the rotating shaft 5, which better secures the second clamping body 2 and prevents it from detaching from the mounting groove 11. Furthermore, the screw 32, connected to the second clamping body 2 via the rotating shaft 5, rotates independently, ensuring the movement of the second clamping body 2 without causing circumferential rotation. The relative position of the second clamping body 2 and the screw 32 is fixed, and the screw connection between the screw 32 and the first clamping body 1 allows it to move only in a straight line. Therefore, the movement of the second clamping body 2 within the mounting groove 11 is also linear, ensuring that the clamping positions 4 on the first and second clamping bodies 1 and 2 remain aligned at all times, thus guaranteeing the quality of sample clamping.
[0041] In some embodiments, the screw 32 has a first connecting end and a second connecting end. The first connecting end is connected to the screw cap 31, and the second connecting end is provided with a plurality of positioning holes. The plurality of positioning holes are spaced apart along the extending direction of the first connecting end.

The first connecting hole 22 and the second connecting hole 23 are perpendicularly arranged. The first connecting hole 22 is used to accommodate the first connecting end. The second connecting hole 23 is provided with a positioning member 6. The positioning member 6 is connected to one of the plurality of positioning holes. The positioning member is used to fix the relative position of the second clamping body 2 and the screw 32.
[0042] In this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second clamping body 2 has a first connecting hole 22 and a second connecting hole 23 that are connected to each other. The first connecting hole 22 and the second connecting hole 23 are arranged perpendicularly. The second connecting end of the screw 32 is provided with multiple positioning holes. When adjusting the clamping range, the screw 32 can pass through the first connecting hole 22 into the second clamping body 2. At this time, the second clamping body 2 and the screw 32 are fixed by the connection between the positioning member 6 and the positioning hole. This embodiment can better achieve the stability between the components of this disclosure, thereby ensuring the stability during sample grinding.
[0043] In some embodiments, the number of clamping positions 4 is set to three, and the three clamping positions 4 are spaced apart to ensure that no interference occurs when multiple samples are ground at the same time.
[0044] In some embodiments, the clamping position 4 is configured as a through slot arranged along the height direction of the first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 2.
[0045] In this embodiment, the clamping position 4 is configured as a through groove along the height direction of the first clamping body 1 and the second clamping body 2. The through groove can be specifically configured as a wedge-shaped groove, such as a triangular groove or a trapezoidal groove. The open ends of the through groove can better expose the grinding position of the sample.
[0046] In some embodiments, the groove bottom of the through groove is arranged as a female angle, and the groove wall of the through groove is arranged as a plane, and the abutting base point is arranged on the groove wall of the through groove.
[0047] In this embodiment, the groove bottom of the through groove is arranged as a female angle to avoid contact between the sample and the groove bottom, thereby ensuring the clamping stability of the circular sample. Further, the angle of the female angle is arranged as 120 degrees, so that the sample can be accommodated in the clamping position 4 to the maximum extent, thereby increasing the contact area between the sample and the side wall of the clamping position 4.
[0048] In some embodiments, the side wall adjacent to the first clamping area 12 of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a sliding groove 13, and the second clamping body 2 is provided with a sliding block 14, and the sliding block 14 and the sliding groove 13 are in sliding connection, wherein the side of the sliding groove 13 away from the first clamping area 12 is provided with a sliding block accommodation opening 131; the sliding block 14 is arranged on the side of the second clamping body 2 away from the second clamping area 21.
[0049] In this embodiment, the relative position of the second clamping body 2 and the first clamping body 1 is fixed by the sliding connection of the sliding block 14 and the sliding groove 13, which plays a role in preventing the second clamping body 2 from being separated from the mounting groove 11 of the first clamping body 1 during grinding. When separating the second clamping body 2 and the first clamping body 1, the second clamping body 2 can be separated from the first clamping body 1 through the sliding block accommodation opening 131.
[0050] In some embodiments, the first clamping body 1 is arranged as a rectangle, and the side surface of the first clamping body 1 adjacent to the mounting groove 11 is provided with an anti-skid part, so as to facilitate the operator to hold the grinding tool.
