Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of prism processing technology, specifically a support mechanism for prism polishing. Background Technology

[0002] A prism is an optical element that refracts light. It is usually made of a transparent crystalline material, such as glass or plastic. Its main function is to refract, deflect, and scatter light. It is widely used in optical instruments, laser systems, spectral analysis, and optical measurement.

[0003] Polishing is a crucial step in manufacturing high-quality optical prisms, aiming to obtain a smooth and clean surface to ensure their optical performance. A support mechanism is needed to hold and fix the prism in place to ensure stable polishing operations. Existing prism polishing support mechanisms are mostly of fixed shapes, while prisms come in a variety of shapes and sizes, requiring frequent replacement of different types of support structure components, which affects the polishing efficiency. Therefore, we propose a support mechanism for prism polishing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a support mechanism for prism polishing, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing prism polishing support mechanisms are mostly fixed in shape, while prisms have a variety of shapes and sizes, requiring frequent replacement of different types of support structure components, which affects the polishing efficiency of the prism.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 The figure shows a support mechanism for prism polishing, including a base 1, a movable plate 3, a circular hole 6, a limiting component and a support component. The limiting component is installed inside the base 1, and the support component is installed inside the movable plate 3. When in use, the support component supports and fixes the prism to facilitate prism polishing.

[0020] Based on the aforementioned scheme, the support assembly includes a clamping block 5, a telescopic plate 7, a rectangular groove 8, a roller 9, a gear 10, and a gear 2 11. The telescopic plate 7 is inserted into the inner wall of the circular hole 6 inside the movable plate 3. A symmetrical rectangular groove 8 is opened at the outer end of the telescopic plate 7. The clamping block 5 is movably connected inside the rectangular groove 8 through the roller 9. The gear 10 is installed at the top of the roller 9 at the top position of the telescopic plate 7. The gear 2 11 is meshed with the side of the gear 10. The gear 2 11 is installed on the top of the telescopic plate 7 through the roller 9. A bolt 12 is threadedly connected to the top of the gear 2 11, and the bottom of the bolt 12 extends to the surface of the telescopic plate 7. A sliding frame 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic plate 7. The sliding frame 13 is slidably connected to the guide groove 4 at the top of the movable plate 3. Screws are provided at both ends of the top of the sliding frame 13.

[0021] Furthermore, the movable plate 3 is rotatably connected inside the base 1 via a rotating shaft, and a handwheel is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft outside the base 1;

[0022] Telescopic plates 7 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the circular hole 6 inside the movable plate 3. The sliding frame 13 at the top of the telescopic plate 7 is slidably connected to the guide groove 4 on the surface of the movable plate 3. The outer end of the telescopic plate 7 is provided with symmetrical rectangular grooves 8, which are connected to clamping blocks 5 through roller shafts 9. The top of the roller shaft 9 is provided with gear 10, which meshes with another gear 11 on the surface of the telescopic plate 7. Rotating the bolt 12 on the surface of gear 11 drives gear 11 to rotate. Gear 11 meshes with gear 10, which drives clamping blocks 5 to rotate. The angles of the two clamping blocks 5 are adjusted so that they can fit against the surface of the prism. The symmetrical telescopic plates 7 and clamping blocks 5 together support and limit the prism, ensuring stability during the prism polishing process.

[0023] As a further improvement of this invention, the limiting component includes a fixing frame 14, a pin 15, a spring 16, a circular plate 17, and a locking block 18. The fixing frame 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base 1. The pin 15 is inserted into the outer side of the fixing frame 14. The pin 15 extends into the interior of the base 1 and is fixedly connected to the locking block 18. The locking block 18 is connected to the movable plate 3. The inner wall of the locking block 18 and the side of the movable plate 3 are both arc-shaped. The circular plate 17 is provided on the surface of the pin 15 inside the fixing frame 14. The spring 16 is provided on the surface of the pin 15 between the inner wall of the fixing frame 14 and the circular plate 17. A storage groove 2 is provided inside the base 1 at the center of the pin 15. The depth of the storage groove 2 is greater than the outer diameter of the locking block 18.

[0024] A pivot is provided at both ends of the movable plate 3 to be movably connected to the base 1, so that the movable plate 3 can be flipped to facilitate the prism polishing process and to facilitate multi-faceted polishing of the prism. A fixing bracket 14 is provided on the outside of the base 1 to connect the pin 15 to the locking block 18. A spring 16 and a circular plate 17 are provided on the surface of the pin 15. With the support of the spring 16 on the circular plate 17, the circular plate 17 is attached to the outer wall of the base 1 and the locking block 18 is locked on the surface of the movable plate 3 to realize the limitation of the movable plate 3. Pulling the pin 15 will drive the circular plate 17 to compress the spring 16 and drive the locking block 18 to be stored in the storage groove 2 on the inner wall of the base 1, thereby canceling the limitation of the movable plate 3 and allowing the movable plate 3 to be flipped to drive the prism to flip.

[0025] It should be noted that this utility model is a support mechanism for prism polishing. First, the prism to be polished is placed in the round hole 6 of the movable plate 3. Then, the two symmetrical sliding frames 13 are pushed in sequence to move the telescopic plate 7 closer to the prism, clamping the prism while tightening the screws on the top of the sliding frames 13 for fixation. Then, the bolts 12 on the top of the telescopic plate 7 are rotated to drive the gear 2 11 to rotate. The gear 2 11 meshes with the gear 1 10 to drive the clamping block 5 to rotate, so that the two clamping blocks 5 are respectively attached to the surface of the prism. Then, the gear 2 11 is pressed down and the bolts 12 are tightened for fixation, completing the support and fixation of the prism. The polishing equipment can then be operated. Polishing the prism surface allows for support and fixation at different positions, facilitating polishing at various locations. Additionally, by pulling the pin 15, the circular plate 17 is compressed, and the spring 16 compresses the locking block 18, which is then stored in the storage groove 2 on the inner wall of the base 1, thus removing the restriction on the movable plate 3. Rotating the handwheel on the outside of the base 1 causes the movable plate 3 to flip, allowing the prism to be flipped for polishing of its opposite surface. After releasing the pin 15, the circular plate 17, supported by the spring 16, adheres to the outer wall of the base 1, and the locking block 18 engages with the surface of the movable plate 3, restoring the restriction on the movable plate 3.
