Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallographic sample technology, and in particular to a metallographic sample mounting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Metallographic specimen mounting machine processes specimens by embedding heating and cooling structures inside the machine casing, and then uses thermosetting materials to mount the specimens, facilitating the analysis of the specimen materials.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent CN219224330U, which discloses a metallographic sample mounting machine, belonging to the technical field of metallographic sample mounting machines. The machine includes a body, a support member on one side, a support base at the top of the support member, and a slot on the support base containing a transparent powder container. The powder container is located above the machine body, with a protective cover at its top, graduations on its outer wall, a valve fixed to its bottom, and a flange integrally formed on its outer wall. A connecting seat is located on the side of the machine body away from the support member, and a handwheel protective cover is located on the side of the connecting seat away from the machine body. This metallographic sample mounting machine is easy to adjust and facilitates control of the feeding amount.

[0004] In the aforementioned existing technical solution, the material is placed inside the powder tank. By opening the valve, the material falls from the inside of the powder tank into the body of the metallographic sample mounting machine. By observing the scale on the side wall of the powder tank, the amount of thermosetting material added is controlled, thereby avoiding the addition of too little or too much thermosetting material, which would affect the quality of the mounting. However, in actual use, when the valve is opened, the material falls into the body of the metallographic sample mounting machine due to gravity. Since the material is in powder form, it may clump, causing the amount falling to fluctuate and be difficult to control. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a metallographic sample mounting machine. The material is stored in a storage box, and the material inside the storage box is fed into the storage tank through a conveyor box. Since the capacity of the storage tank is fixed, the amount of material poured into the metallographic sample mounting machine through the feed pipe each time is also fixed. By taking the amount of material in each storage tank as a unit, the number of units poured into the feed pipe can be controlled to achieve the effect of convenient control of the amount of material.

[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is: a metallographic sample mounting machine, including a metallographic sample mounting machine body, a feed pipe fixedly installed at the input end of the metallographic sample mounting machine body, and a material storage component provided on the outside of the metallographic sample mounting machine body, the material storage component including:

[0007] The storage box and the conveying box are provided. The storage box is located on the top of the metallographic sample mounting machine, and the conveying box is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the storage box.

[0008] The top of the metallographic sample mounting machine is equipped with a feeding assembly, which includes:

[0009] A sealing base plate is fixedly installed on the top wall of the metallographic sample mounting machine body, and the sealing base plate is also fixedly installed on the side wall of the feed pipe.

[0010] The storage plate has its upper and lower side walls respectively attached to the side walls of the conveying box and the sealing base plate. The storage plate, the sealing base plate and the conveying box are concentric. Multiple storage troughs are equidistantly opened on the top wall of the storage plate.

[0011] A rotating motor is fixedly installed on the top wall of the sealed base plate, and a transmission plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the rotating motor. The transmission plate is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the storage plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, a vibration assembly is provided inside the storage plate, the vibration assembly including;

[0013] Multiple spring plates and multiple top blocks are provided. Multiple spring plates are fixedly installed circumferentially at equal intervals on the top wall of the sealing base plate, and multiple top blocks are fixedly installed circumferentially at equal intervals on the inner side wall of the storage plate.

[0014] In some embodiments, the vibration assembly further includes;

[0015] The irregularly shaped grooves are multiple in number and are equidistantly spaced around the inside of the storage plate. The irregularly shaped grooves are located between two storage troughs. Positioning plates are fixedly installed on the inner sidewalls of the irregularly shaped grooves. Vibration springs are fixedly installed on the two sidewalls of the positioning plates near the storage troughs. An impact ball is fixedly installed on the end of the vibration spring away from the positioning plate.

[0016] In some embodiments, the vibrating spring is helical, and the impact ball is in contact with the side wall of the irregular groove near the storage tank.

[0017] In some embodiments, the spring plate is in the shape of a "7", with one protruding end of the spring plate fitting against the inner sidewall of the storage plate, and the sidewall of the top block corresponding to the spring plate is inclined.

[0018] In some embodiments, the storage assembly further includes;

[0019] There are multiple fixing plates, and the upper and lower ends of the multiple fixing plates are respectively fixed to the side walls of the metallographic sample mounting machine body and the storage box.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the significant advantages of this utility model are:

[0021] Firstly, this utility model stores materials in a storage bin, and the materials inside the storage bin are discharged outward through a conveyor. A rotating motor drives a storage plate to rotate, causing the storage trough to enter the conveyor. The materials inside the storage bin then enter the storage trough. Since a sealing base plate is fixedly installed on the side wall of the feed pipe, when the rotating motor drives the storage plate to rotate continuously, the materials inside the storage trough can be poured into the feed pipe. Because the capacity of the storage trough is fixed, the amount of material poured into the metallographic sample mounting machine through the feed pipe each time is also fixed. By treating the amount of material in each storage trough as a unit and controlling the number of units poured into the feed pipe, the amount of material can be easily controlled. This solves the problem of unstable material discharge from existing powder tanks.

[0022] Secondly, in this utility model, the output end of the rotating motor drives the storage plate to rotate, so that the top block can contact the side wall of the spring plate. Under the pressure of the top block, the spring plate deforms. When the spring plate and the top block are misaligned, the protruding end of the spring plate will hit the inner side wall of the storage plate due to its own elasticity, causing the inside of the storage plate to vibrate. Through the vibration of the storage plate, the raw materials can easily fill the inside of the storage tank, and at the same time, the material inside the storage tank can easily fall into the inside of the feed pipe.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] This utility model provides an improved metallographic sample mounting machine. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a metallographic sample mounting machine includes a machine body 1. A feed pipe 2 is fixedly installed at the input end of the machine body 1. A storage assembly is provided outside the machine body 1, comprising a storage box 3, a fixing plate 4, and a conveying box 10. The storage box 3 is located on the top of the machine body 1. Multiple fixing plates 4 are provided, with their upper and lower ends fixedly installed on the side walls of the machine body 1 and the storage box 3, respectively. The conveying box 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the storage box 3. Materials are stored in the storage box 3, and the materials inside the storage box 3 are discharged outwards through the conveying box 10. A feeding assembly is provided on the top of the machine body 1, comprising a sealing base plate 5, a storage plate 6, and a rotating motor 8. The sealing base plate 5 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the machine body 1 and also on the side wall of the feed pipe 2. The upper and lower side walls of the storage plate 6 are... The material storage plate 6 is not attached to the side wall of the material conveying box 10 and the sealing base plate 5. The material storage plate 6, the sealing base plate 5, and the material conveying box 10 are concentric. Multiple material storage slots 7 are equidistantly opened on the top wall of the material storage plate 6. The rotating motor 8 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the sealing base plate 5. The output end of the rotating motor 8 is fixedly installed with a transmission plate 9, which is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the material storage plate 6. The material storage plate 6 is driven to rotate by the output end of the rotating motor 8, so that the material storage slots 7 enter the interior of the material conveying box 10. The material inside the material storage box 3 thus enters the interior of the material storage slots 7. Since the sealing base plate 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the feed pipe 2, when the rotating motor 8 drives the material storage plate 6 to rotate continuously, the material inside the material storage slots 7 can be poured into the interior of the feed pipe 2. Since the capacity inside the material storage slots 7 is fixed, the amount of material poured into the metallographic sample mounting machine body 1 through the feed pipe 2 each time is also fixed. There is no need for the operator to adjust the amount of material according to the scale each time, which achieves the effect of convenient material conveying.

[0032] like Figures 1-3As shown, in this embodiment, a vibration assembly is provided inside the storage plate 6. The vibration assembly includes a spring plate 11, a top block 12, and a shaped groove 16. Multiple spring plates 11 and top blocks 12 are provided. Multiple spring plates 11 are circumferentially and fixedly installed on the top wall of the sealing base plate 5 at equal intervals. The spring plates 11 are in the shape of a "7". One protruding end of the spring plate 11 is attached to the inner wall of the storage plate 6. Multiple top blocks 12 are circumferentially and fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage plate 6 at equal intervals. The sidewalls of the top blocks 12 corresponding to the spring plates 11 are inclined. By rotating the motor... The output end of 8 drives the storage plate 6 to rotate, so the top block 12 can contact the side wall of the spring plate 11. Under the pressure of the top block 12, the spring plate 11 deforms. When the spring plate 11 and the top block 12 are misaligned, the protruding end of the spring plate 11 will hit the inner side wall of the storage plate 6 due to its own elasticity, causing the inside of the storage plate 6 to vibrate. Through the vibration of the storage plate 6, the raw material can easily fill the inside of the storage tank 7, and the material inside the storage tank 7 can also easily fall into the inside of the feed pipe 2; the irregular groove 16 has multiple Multiple irregularly shaped grooves 16 are equidistantly formed around the inside of the storage plate 6, located between two storage troughs 7. Positioning plates 13 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of each groove 16. Vibrating springs 14, spiral in shape, are fixedly installed on the two side walls of the positioning plates 13 near the storage troughs 7. Impact balls 15 are fixedly installed on the end of each vibrating spring 14 away from the positioning plates 13, and these impact balls 15 are in contact with the side walls of the grooves 16 near the storage troughs 7. The positioning plates 13 control the vibration springs 14 and the impact balls. The position of 15 is defined so that the impact ball 15 floats in the air. When the spring plate 11 hits the inner wall of the storage plate 6 and causes the storage plate 6 to vibrate, the shaking spring 14 vibrates along with the storage plate 6. Since the impact ball 15 is in contact with the inner wall of the irregular groove 16 and under the influence of the elasticity of the shaking spring 14, the impact ball 15 will repeatedly hit the inner wall of the irregular groove 16, further strengthening the vibration inside the storage plate 6. This prevents the material inside the storage tank 7 from having gaps, which would cause the amount poured into the metallographic sample mounting machine body 1 to be different each time.

[0033] The specific working method is as follows: Materials are stored in the storage bin 3, and the materials inside the storage bin 3 are discharged outwards through the conveying bin 10. The output of the rotating motor 8 drives the storage plate 6 to rotate, causing the storage trough 7 to enter the conveying bin 10. The materials inside the storage bin 3 thus enter the storage trough 7. Since the sealing base plate 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the feed pipe 2, when the rotating motor 8 drives the storage plate 6 to rotate continuously, the materials inside the storage trough 7 can be poured into the feed pipe 2. Because the capacity of the storage trough 7 is fixed, the amount of material poured into the metallographic sample mounting machine body 1 through the feed pipe 2 each time is also fixed, eliminating the need for operators to adjust the material amount according to the scale each time, thus achieving convenient material conveying. The output of the rotating motor 8 drives the storage plate 6 to rotate, allowing the top block 12 to contact the side wall of the spring plate 11. Under the pressure of the top block 12, the spring plate 11 deforms. When the spring plate 1... When the top block 11 and the top block 12 are misaligned, the spring plate 11, due to its own elasticity, will have one protruding end strike the inner wall of the storage plate 6, causing the storage plate 6 to vibrate. This vibration of the storage plate 6 facilitates the filling of the storage tank 7 with raw materials and also allows the material inside the storage tank 7 to fall into the feed pipe 2. The positioning plate 13 limits the position of the shaking spring 14 and the impact ball 15, causing the impact ball 15 to float. When the spring plate 11 strikes the inner wall of the storage plate 6, causing the storage plate 6 to vibrate, the shaking spring 14 vibrates along with the storage plate 6. Since the impact ball 15 is in contact with the inner wall of the shaped groove 16, and under the influence of the elasticity of the shaking spring 14, the impact ball 15 will repeatedly strike the inner wall of the shaped groove 16, further strengthening the vibration inside the storage plate 6. This prevents gaps in the material inside the storage tank 7, which could lead to different amounts of material being poured into the metallographic sample mounting machine body 1 each time.

Matters not covered in this utility model are common knowledge to those skilled in the art.
