Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallographic processing technology, and in particular to a metallographic sample holder. Background Technology
[0002] Metallographic examination is the process of examining the macroscopic and microscopic structure of metallic or non-metallic materials using metallographic methods. The main processes of metallographic examination include: sampling, mounting, grinding, polishing, and microstructure display. Polishing is used to remove minor scratches and surface defects introduced during the grinding process, so that the sample surface is smooth, without obvious grinding marks, and reflective.
[0003] Existing metal sample polishing machines typically place the sample directly on the polishing cloth of the polishing tool for polishing, and the polishing position needs to be constantly adjusted to prevent it from always being placed in one position on the polishing tool. This causes the polishing cloth to wear in the same spot, reducing the utilization rate of the polishing cloth. At the same time, the operator may cause uneven stress on the metallographic sample during polishing, which can lead to uneven wear and deformation. Utility Model Content

Through the configuration of a first motor, a threaded rod, and a guide rod, the moving block can be controlled to move along the threaded rod, thereby moving the clamping mechanism and preventing it from always staying in one position, which would cause the polishing cloth to wear in the same spot and reduce its utilization rate. When it is necessary to clamp the sample, the pull rod is pulled out from the fixed block, and then the connecting plate is rotated to make the rotating shaft drive the first clamping frame to rotate. The sample is then placed against the second clamping frame, and the first clamping frame is rotated to clamp the sample tightly with the second clamping frame. At the same time, a pin is inserted into the fixed block and passes through the first clamping frame, thereby achieving the clamping of the sample.

There are two fixing blocks 5, which are distributed on the left and right. The outer surface of the right fixing block 5 is provided with a pin 15. The pin 15 passes through the fixing block 5 and the first clamping frame 11. When it is necessary to clamp the sample, the pull rod 6 is pulled out from the fixing block 5. Then the pull rod 6 is rotated to make the rotating shaft 10 drive the first clamping frame 11 to rotate. Then the sample is put into contact with the elastic anti-slip pad 13 of the second clamping frame 14. After that, the first clamping frame 11 is rotated to make the first clamping frame 11 and the second clamping frame 14 clamp the sample.
