Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of round bar metallographic sample technology, and more specifically, it relates to a metallographic sample transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the process for handling round metallographic specimens involves: round specimens cut by a metallographic cutting machine are sequentially pressed onto corresponding specimen bags, and then a metal tray containing specimens of different models and sizes is used for transport to the next process for specimen preparation. The objective drawback of this existing technology is that the specimens are not fixed, and different models and sizes often include multiple specimens. Since round metallographic specimens are prone to rolling, their order can easily be confused during transport, making subsequent identification difficult. Incorrect specimen identification will lead to errors in specimen preparation.
[0003] Existing technology includes a device for transferring macroscopic metallographic extruded aluminum alloy rod samples, published under publication number CN217199492U. This device comprises a main support frame and several layers of mold plates mounted on the main support frame. Each mold plate includes several rows of sample clamping molds for holding the aluminum alloy extruded rods to be tested. A laser radar and a millimeter-wave radar are fixedly mounted on the main support frame outside the mold plates. Sensors are electrically connected to both the laser radar and the millimeter-wave radar. The aluminum alloy extruded rods are fixed by the cooperation of the fixed clamping mold plate and the arc-shaped grooves on the sliding clamping mold plate. Each aluminum alloy extruded rod is confined to a designated position, preventing the aluminum alloy extruded rods from being disordered or damaged, which would ultimately interfere with the testing results. However, this technology does not address the technical problem and solution of this application. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] This utility model is a metallographic sample transfer device, including a device body, multiple sets of placement components are arranged on the device body, gap surfaces are provided between adjacent placement components, multiple placement grooves are provided in each set of placement components, gaps are provided between adjacent placement grooves, and wire grooves are provided near the position of each set of placement components.

[0022] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed explanation of the specific embodiments of this utility model, including the shape and structure of each component, the relative positions and connections between the parts, the functions and working principles of each part:
[0023] As attached Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3As shown, this utility model is a metallographic sample transfer device, including a device body 1. Multiple sets of placement components are arranged on the device body 1, with gap surfaces 2 between adjacent placement components. Each set of placement components has multiple placement grooves 3, with gaps 4 between adjacent placement grooves 3. Grooves 5 are provided near each set of placement components. This structure addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an improved technical solution. In the structural design, a single device body 1 is manufactured. The device body 1 can be square or circular, preferably square. To accommodate the placement of samples of different models and sizes, multiple sets of placement components are arranged on the device body 1. Each set of placement components has multiple placement grooves 3, and each placement groove 3 is used to place one sample 7. By setting the placement grooves 3 of different sets of placement components to different sizes, samples of different models and sizes 7 can be placed. That is, different placement grooves 3 are set according to the size of the corresponding sample. In this way, samples of different models and sizes 7 can be placed in the placement grooves 3 of the corresponding placement components. During the transfer process, samples can be transferred in batches and reliably fixed in the corresponding placement grooves 3, preventing rolling or easy detachment, ensuring reliable classification and placement without confusion. A gap 4 is provided between adjacent placement grooves 3 to facilitate the placement and removal of samples by operators without interference. A groove 5 is provided near each set of placement components. The corresponding groove 5 can be used to hold the sample bag 6 of the corresponding sample. The sample bag 6 has a certain thickness, and the width of the groove is set according to the thickness of the sample bag, ensuring that the sample bag 6 can be reliably held in the corresponding groove 5, preventing it from easily falling out, and placing it correspondingly with the corresponding sample 7 to avoid confusion. Thus, this simple and easy-to-use device effectively improves the convenience and reliability of sample transfer. The metallographic sample transfer device described in this utility model has a simple structure, can conveniently and reliably fix different samples, effectively prevents sample rolling, and can reliably place sample bags accordingly, avoiding sample confusion and ensuring that the sample bag and corresponding sample are transferred together, ensuring reliable transfer.
[0024] The multiple placement grooves 3 of each placement component are located on the same straight line, and adjacent placement components are arranged in parallel. This structure, with the placement grooves of each placement component arranged in a straight line, facilitates the operator's differentiation between different placement components and enables rapid sample placement. Different placement grooves of different placement components can be marked with numbers for quick identification. Furthermore, the numbers on the placement grooves of different placement components can use different colors or fonts for easy identification.
[0025] The bottom of the placement groove 3 is designed as a concave arc-shaped surface. With this structure, the sample, being cylindrical, can be reliably secured after being placed in the corresponding groove. Simultaneously, a portion of the sample 7 protrudes outside the groove after placement, facilitating removal by the operator.
[0026] The horizontal cross-section of the placement groove 3 is square. The length and width of the multiple placement grooves 3 in each group of placement components are equal, while the length and width of the placement grooves 3 in different groups of placement components may be equal or unequal. In this structure, the placement grooves in each group of placement components are used to place samples of the same type and size. This is because multiple samples of the same type often need to be transported during sample transfer. The length and width of the placement grooves 3 in different groups of placement components are set to be equal or unequal. When they are equal, the same sample 7 can be placed; when they are unequal, different samples 7 can be placed.
[0027] The groove 5, located near each group of component placement positions, extends from one end to the other. This structure, with its relatively long groove, can hold multiple sample bags, meeting the needs when dealing with a large number of samples.
[0028] The groove 5 is configured to allow insertion of the sample bag 6. With this configuration, when the groove 5 is inserted into the sample bag 6, a reliable locking mechanism is ensured, requiring a certain force to remove the sample bag.
[0029] The device body 1 has a square structure with a flat upper surface and is made of PP material. This structure, with the device body 1 made of polypropylene plastic, facilitates the formation of placement grooves and troughs through machining, and is low-cost and reusable.
[0030] The first groove 5 is located at the gap surface 2 between the front end face 6 of the device body 1 and the first set of placement components. The other placement components each have a groove 5 located at the gap surface 2 between adjacent placement components. This structure, with its gap surfaces, achieves both a certain distance between different placement components, facilitating sample placement and removal, and also facilitating the installation of the grooves 5.
[0031] The distance between adjacent placement components is 20mm or more, and the distance between adjacent placement grooves 3 in each group of placement components is 10mm or more. In the above structure, the distance between adjacent placement components is the distance between the edges of the placement grooves of adjacent placement components, and the distance between adjacent placement grooves 3 in each group of placement components is the distance between the edges of the adjacent placement grooves.
[0032] The metallographic sample transfer device of this utility model is structurally designed as a single, integral device body 1. The device body 1 can be square or circular, preferably square. To accommodate samples of different models and sizes, multiple sets of placement components are arranged on the upper surface of the device body 1. Each set of placement components has multiple placement grooves 3, and each placement groove 3 is used to place one sample 7. By setting the placement grooves 3 of different sets of placement components to different sizes, different models and sizes of samples 7 can be placed. That is, different placement grooves 3 are set for the corresponding sample sizes. This allows samples 7 of different models and sizes to be placed in the placement grooves 3 of the corresponding placement components. During transfer, samples can be transferred in batches and reliably fixed in their corresponding placement grooves 3, preventing rolling or easy detachment, ensuring reliable classification and preventing confusion. A gap 4 is provided between adjacent placement grooves 3 to facilitate easy placement and removal of samples by operators without interference. Grooves 5 are provided near each set of placement components. The corresponding groove 5 can be used to hold the sample bag 6 of the corresponding sample. The sample bag 6 has a certain thickness, and the width of the groove is set according to the thickness of the sample bag to ensure that the sample bag 6 can be reliably held in the corresponding groove 5, will not easily fall off, and is placed correspondingly with the sample 7 to avoid confusion. In this way, the convenience and reliability of sample transfer can be effectively improved through a simple and easy-to-use device.
