[0023] As attached Figure 1 The tooling for prism coating according to this utility model is shown, including a frame, a base plate 1, and a positioning block 2. The frame and the base plate 1 are detachably connected. The frame includes parallel side rods 3 and connecting rods 4 connecting the ends of the two side rods 3, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, a first groove 31 is formed along the length direction at the bottom of the side rod 3, and the first groove 31 communicates with the inner surface of the side rod 3. A second groove 32 is formed along the length direction on the bottom surface of the first groove 31, and the second groove 32 communicates with the inner surface of the side rod 3. The first groove 31 and the second groove 32 are stepped, and the bottom edge of the second groove 32 has a protruding ridge 34. (See attached image) Figure 3 As shown, the top surface of the positioning block 2 has a groove 21, and a protruding ridge 34 is embedded in the groove 21. The positioning block 2 is slidably connected to the side rod 3 along the protruding ridge 34 to adjust the position of the positioning block 2 and adjust the spacing between adjacent positioning blocks 2. The bottom of the positioning block 2 has a V-shaped groove 22 for placing the prism 6. The included angle between the two surfaces of the prism 6 that contact the V-shaped groove 22 is the same as that of the V-shaped groove 22, so as to fully fit the prism 6 with the V-shaped groove 22 and make the prism 6 stable.
[0024] As attached Figure 5As shown, a through hole 11 is machined on the base plate 1, and a mounting hole 311 corresponding to the through hole 11 is machined on the bottom surface of the first groove 31 of the side rod 3. The base plate 1 and the side rod 3 are connected by fasteners 5 that pass through the through hole 11 and enter the mounting hole 311. The base plate 1 is in contact with the bottom surface of the prism 6. During installation, the frame is inverted, the surface of the prism that needs to be coated is placed in the V-groove 22, and then the base plate 1 is covered so that the base plate 1 is in contact with the prism and the fasteners are connected. The frame can then be flipped back to the front, and the fixture with the prism is sent into the coating machine for coating.
[0025] In this embodiment, a third groove 33 is formed between the protruding ridge 34 and the bottom surface of the second groove 32. The groove 21 of the positioning block 2 forms a protruding strip 24 on the top surface. The protruding strip 24 is embedded in the third groove 33. The side surface of the second groove 32 fits against the positioning block 2. The positioning block 2 and the side rod 3 are interlocked, making the sliding connection more stable. No matter whether the frame is upright or inverted, the positioning block 2 will not tilt or collapse inward. When the base plate 1 is not installed, the positioning block 2 can also be easily removed from the groove so that the required number of positioning blocks 2 can be adjusted according to the number of prisms 6 to be coated.
[0026] A protrusion 41 is formed on the inner side of the connecting rod 4 near the side rod 3. The protrusion 41 abuts against the side of the positioning block 2, so that the positioning block 2 and the connecting rod 4 maintain a certain distance, avoiding the collision between the edge of the larger prism 6 and the frame.
[0027] In another embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 4 Appendix Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the positioning block 2 is machined with a positioning hole 23, and the base plate 1 is equipped with a positioning pin 12 corresponding to the positioning hole 23. When the base plate 1 is connected to the side rod 3, the positioning pin 12 is inserted into the positioning hole 23 to prevent the positioning block 2 from slipping during the movement and flipping of the tooling, so that the positioning and installation of the prism is more stable and the reliability is improved.
[0028] The base plate 1 has a hollowed-out center to reduce the overall weight of the tooling and to make it easier to observe whether the prism is installed correctly when it is inverted. The edge of the base plate 1 near the connecting rod 4 has a notch 13 for easy disassembly of the base plate 1.
[0029] As attached Figure 5 As shown, when the prism to be coated is small, the bottom surface of the base plate 1 and the first groove 31 of the side rod 3 are in contact, and the positioning blocks 2 are arranged more closely. More prisms can be placed in one fixture, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 6As shown, when the prism to be coated is large, the positioning blocks 2 are arranged sparsely. When the fixture is upright, the bottom surface of the prism 6 is lower than the bottom surface of the first groove 31, and there is a gap between the base plate 1 and the side rod 3. Therefore, a bushing of appropriate length can be fitted onto the fastener 5. The bushing is located between the base plate 1 and the side rod 3 to fill the gap, making the connection between the base plate 1 and the side rod 3 more stable. Bushings of different lengths can be selected according to the size of the prism 6. When multiple prisms of different sizes need to be coated, they can also be placed in the same fixture, and multiple bushings of different lengths can be selected to achieve the most suitable installation effect. The depth of the first groove 31 is determined according to the maximum size of the prism to be coated to avoid interference.
[0030] The tooling for prism coating of this utility model is stable and reliable in installation, easy to use, and suitable for coating prisms of different sizes. It has wide applicability and also provides a better comparison scheme for coating tests of prisms of different specifications.
[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
