Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of precision measurement technology, and in particular to a magnetic quick-change device and method for wire cutting with adjustable center and calibrating function. Background Technology
[0002] Parts used in daily scientific research and production are characterized by complex shapes, diverse types, and small batches. Many complex-shaped parts often require multi-faceted machining during wire EDM, and the faces of the parts may not be coaxial or parallel. In daily processing, it is often necessary to design and manufacture multiple tooling fixtures for wire EDM, and the parts are completed after multiple clamping and alignment operations, resulting in low production efficiency.
[0003] However, the above processing method has the following drawbacks and can no longer meet the current high-efficiency production and processing requirements for a wide variety of small-batch scientific research parts: 1. To meet the multi-faceted machining requirements of the above-mentioned complex parts, wire EDM ordinary fixtures often need to be made into various complex toolings, and even equipment needs to be changed frequently, resulting in high processing costs.
[0004] 2. The cutting of the entire part requires the use of indexing equipment, which limits the stroke and clamping range of the wire EDM equipment.
[0005] 3. Cutting the eccentric surface of a part often requires multiple clamping operations, resulting in low clamping efficiency.
[0006] Chinese patent CN200998824Y discloses a multi-functional magnetic clamp for wire EDM, mainly used for clamping workpieces on wire EDM machines. The clamp mainly consists of a magnetic clamping part and a fixing part.

(2) Position the magnetic indexing adapter through the positioning stop, the fixing seat pin hole, the positioning cylinder, the magnetic disk pin hole and the magnetic indexing plate pin hole. After it is properly placed, tighten it with bolts. (3) Insert the lead screw of the center adjustable rod into the positioning slot and connect it to the center adjustable mounting plate through the bearing and nut; (4) Turn on the magnetic switch and select the appropriate rotation angle according to the process requirements. Then, rotate the assembled magnetic indexing adapter and the center adjustable mounting plate according to the rotation angle.

[0016] 2. This invention allows for quick replacement of suitable fixture components based on different workpiece shapes, eliminating the need for separate design and manufacturing of dedicated tooling for each part. This structure not only significantly reduces tooling manufacturing costs and inventory pressure but also effectively shortens production preparation time. It is suitable for processing multi-variety, small-batch research and trial-produced parts, achieving a highly efficient production mode of "one machine for multiple uses and rapid conversion".
[0017] 3. This invention features high-precision indexing and reliable centering, effectively ensuring positional consistency during multi-faceted machining of complex parts.

[0018] 4. This invention provides double mechanical locking through pin hole engagement and bolt tightening, ensuring that the indexing position does not shift during machining. This design eliminates the need for traditional indexing heads and other external equipment, saving machine tool workspace and avoiding cumulative errors caused by multiple clamping operations. It is suitable for high-precision wire EDM machining of complex parts with integral dividing surfaces, eccentric surfaces, or angular relationships.
[0019] 5. This invention improves clamping adaptability and processing efficiency. The center-adjustable mounting plate is equipped with a radial positioning groove, which, together with the lead screw drive mechanism, enables continuous vertical position adjustment of the clamping assembly, facilitating rapid centering and clamping of workpieces of different heights or with eccentric structures.
[0020] 6. This invention allows for easy adjustment of the fixture's vertical position along the slide groove simply by loosening the locking bolts during operation. After adjustment, the bolts can be tightened again to continue processing, eliminating the need to disassemble the entire device or readjust it. This structure expands the process range of wire EDM equipment and reduces the time spent on repeated clamping and alignment. It is particularly suitable for the efficient and high-precision machining of parts with asymmetry, multiple steps, or irregular contours.
[0021] 7. This invention, through the structural cooperation of the positioning protrusion inserting into the positioning slide groove and the lead screw threaded hole engaging with the lead screw thread, forms a coaxial and tightly connected integral structure between the center adjustable rod, the fixture positioning seat, the fixture accessories and the clamping block, ensuring the stability and concentricity of the workpiece clamping, avoiding processing deviations caused by loose connections, and is suitable for high-precision wire EDM processing.
[0022] 8. This invention supports quick replacement of fixture accessories, adjustment of swing angle, realization of eccentric machining, and replacement of clamping recesses of different shapes. It is easy to operate and flexible to adjust, significantly shortening the production preparation time. It is especially suitable for wire EDM machining of complex parts with multiple varieties and small batches. Attached Figure Description

[0045] This invention features high-precision indexing and reliable centering, effectively ensuring positional consistency during the multi-faceted machining of complex parts. The device employs a V-groove and positioning boss combination structure, allowing the adjustable center mounting plate to accurately embed into the corresponding slot of the magnetic indexing adapter plate, achieving precise indexing and automatic centering in the circumferential direction. Simultaneously, a double mechanical locking mechanism, through pin hole engagement and bolt tightening, ensures that the indexing position does not shift during machining. This design eliminates the need for traditional indexing heads and other external equipment, saving machine tool workspace and avoiding cumulative errors caused by multiple clamping operations. It is suitable for high-precision wire EDM machining of complex parts with integral dividing surfaces, eccentric surfaces, or angular relationships.

Therefore, the scope of the invention is not limited to the contents disclosed in the embodiments.
