Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a clamping device for an electrode rod, in particular to an indexable support structure for an electrode rod of an electric spark / electrolysis machine tool, which locates the axis of the electrode rod and improves machining accuracy. Background Art

[0002] Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), also known as electrical discharge machining or electro-erosion machining, is a process in which pulsed spark discharge is continuously generated between the tool and the workpiece during the machining process, and the metal material is eroded away by using the instantaneous local high temperature generated during the discharge; the tool and the workpiece are not in contact during the machining process. This technology has been widely used in the micro-machining of hard and difficult-to-machine materials such as cemented carbide, die steel, hardened steel, polycrystalline diamond, and can also be used for the micro-machining of low-rigidity and complex-shaped workpieces.

[0003] Microelectrochemical machining refers to a processing method that uses electrochemical machining to obtain high-precision, small-sized parts within the micromachining range (1μm~1mm). It is now widely used in precision and ultra-precision micromachining of special-shaped parts such as cylindrical parts, spline holes, internal gears, molds, valve plates, etc.

[0004] Existing wire cutting machines are generally four-axis machining. For example, the machining quality of the Japanese Sodick slow-feed wire cutting machine AQ400LS is Ramax = 0.2-0.5μm, and the dimensional accuracy is 2μm. However, when the wire cutting machine is machining an inclined surface, the UV axis that adjusts the wire cutting machining angle has poor machining accuracy, which is not conducive to machining. In addition, the cutting line of the wire cutting machine is thin, and the cutting line may float during the impact cooling of the coolant, making the machined surface uneven. When the workpiece machining height is 100mm, the unevenness can reach 10μm. For this reason, it is hoped that the wire cutting machine can be replaced by an electrode rod processing machine.

[0005] The 2005 supplement of Volume 32 of Machinery, "Electro-Spark Contour Machining", introduced the A35R-E EDM contour machining machine tool of Japan Sodick, which can actually achieve a surface roughness Ramax = 10-5μm and a dimensional accuracy of 10-5μm. The EDM contour machining machine tool and the above-mentioned wire cutting machine are both produced by Sodick, and the transmission components, CNC system, and temperature control technology of the electric machining power supply of the machine tool are basically the same, but the processing quality of the two is very different.

[0006] For example, a simple micro-EDM / EC machining spindle with publication number CN111283278A includes a power source module, a power transmission module, and a power induction module. The power induction module includes a tool electrode chuck and a tool electrode. The tool electrode is clamped in the tool electrode chuck, and the tool electrode chuck can drive the tool electrode to rotate.

[0007] Problems with existing EDM / electrolysis machines: When machining the inner wall of a large workpiece, the electrode rod needs to be inserted into the slot of the large workpiece. During the machining process, the electrolyte or sparks generated by the electrical machining will produce impact force on the electrode rod, causing the electrode rod to deflect and increase the error of the electrical machining.

[0019] The transfer support assembly is connected to the rotating sleeve and can rotate circumferentially around the axis of the rotating sleeve. The transfer support assembly includes a V-shaped groove and an anti-slip device.

[0020] An electrode rod is clamped in the V-shaped groove, and the electrode rod is placed against two side walls of the V-shaped groove to position the axis of the electrode rod, so that the axis of the electrode rod is coaxial with the axis of the rotating sleeve, and the anti-slip device is used to prevent the electrode rod from slipping out of the V-shaped groove;

[0024] The rotating sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the active rotating part 2, and the rotating sleeve and the active rotating part 2 rotate independently of each other. When the electrode rod processes the workpiece, the rotating sleeve drives the indexing support assembly to rotate around the electrode rod to control the indexing support assembly from colliding with the workpiece.

[0025] A further preferred solution of the present invention is: a radial adjustment component is provided on the rotating sleeve, the radial adjustment component includes a radial displacement bracket, the transfer support component is fixed on the radial displacement bracket, and the radial displacement bracket can move relative to the rotating sleeve in the radial direction of the rotating sleeve.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of the present invention is that the transfer support assembly includes a V-shaped groove and an anti-slip device, and the electrode rod rests on the two side walls of the V-shaped groove to position the axis of the electrode rod, so that the axis of the electrode rod is coaxial with the axis of the active rotating part, and the anti-slip device is used to prevent the electrode rod from being separated from the V-shaped groove. The electrode rod is accurately positioned through the V-shaped groove, and when the electrode rod is processing the workpiece, the transfer support assembly is arranged on one side of the electrode rod, so that the V-shaped groove plays a radial supporting role for the electrode rod, preventing the electrode rod from being deflected by the impact of electrolyte or electric sparks, thereby improving the accuracy of the electrode rod electrical processing.

The active rotating member 29 is linked to the driven rotating member 722 through the swing arm 95. When the active rotating member 29 rotates, it is linked with the driven rotating member 722 through the swing arm 95, thereby driving the driven rotating member 722 to rotate. The driven rotating member 722 drives the electrode rod 72 to rotate. The axis of the active rotating member 29 and the axis of the electrode rod 72 are not associated, that is, the axis of the electrode rod 72 is not connected to the axis of the active rotating member 29.

The second pressure cap 891 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 88 by screws. When the third bearing 893 and the fourth bearing 892 rotate, the inner and outer rings will deflect, causing the axis of the active rotating member 29 to deflect, resulting in the axis of the active rotating member 29 and the axis of the electrode rod 72 having two states of overlap or non-overlap.

[0105] Fig.15 , Fig.16As shown, the axial limiting assembly 6 limits the axial movement of the electrode rod 72. Preferably, the axial limiting assembly 6 includes an axial magnetic attraction member 61 with magnetic force. The axial magnetic attraction member 61 can be an electromagnet or a permanent magnet. The axial magnetic attraction member 61 is fixed on the active rotating member 9. The axial magnetic attraction member 61 and the active rotating member 9 are combined to form a blocking member with magnetic force. The electrode rod 72 is provided with a second attracted member 62 that cooperates with the axial magnetic attraction member 61 to apply force. The second attracted member 62 can be magnetized, such as iron, cobalt, nickel and their alloys. The blocking member applies a magnetic force to the second attracted member 62 to pull the electrode rod 72 upward in the axial direction, so that the electrode rod 72 and the blocking member are attracted to each other, so that the end face of the upper end of the electrode rod 72 presses against the blocking member to limit the axial movement of the electrode rod 72. The first attracted component 77 and the second attracted component 62 can be the same component. The anti-slip magnetic attraction component 74 applies a radial magnetic attraction force to the circumference of the above-mentioned rod-like structure, so that the electrode rod 72 can be attracted in the V-shaped groove 71. The axial magnetic attraction component 61 applies an axial magnetic attraction force to the end face of the rod-like structure, so that the end face of the electrode rod 72 can be attracted to the blocking component.

[0106] In addition, an axial support member 63 can be provided between the end face of the electrode rod 72 and the blocking member. When the electrode rod 72 is pulled upward by the magnetic attraction force and attracted to the blocking member, the axial support member 63 is used to contact and connect the electrode rod 72 and the blocking member to reduce the friction force when the electrode rod 72 rotates.

[0108] When the electrode rod 72 processes the workpiece 36, the electrode rod 72 extends into the groove 37 to be processed on the workpiece 36, and the active rotating member 29 drives the swing arm 95 to rotate eccentrically. The swing arm 95 rotates by pushing the driven rotating member 722 to rotate, thereby rotating the electrode rod 72. The X-axis displacement mechanism 1 and the Y-axis displacement mechanism 4 drive the electrode rod 72 and the workpiece 36 to relatively displace in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, so that the electrode rod 72 can be processed along the side wall of the groove 37 to be processed on the workpiece 36, and the electrode rod 72 processes the surface of the workpiece 36 to be processed. The working edge shape of the electrode rod 72 is consistent with the side shape of the workpiece 36 after being processed by the electrode rod 72. During the processing, the rotating sleeve 88 rotates through the cross frame 85 to drive the transfer support assembly 7 to rotate around the electrode rod 72, which is used to control the transfer support assembly 7 not to collide with the workpiece 36, avoiding affecting the electrode rod 72 on the inner wall processing of the groove 37 to be processed in the workpiece 36. The V-shaped groove 71 plays a role of radial support for the electrode rod 72 during the processing, avoiding the deviation of the electrode rod 72 and increasing the processing error.

[0109] Preferably, the processing parts of the indexing support assembly 7 and the workpiece 36 are always located on opposite sides of the electrode rod 72 , and at this time, the supporting effect of the V-shaped groove 71 is optimal.

[0110] Fig.17 As shown, after the processing is completed, since the rotating sleeve 88, the active rotating part 29 and the transfer support assembly 7 are all arranged on the same lifting frame 51, the lifting frame 51 can drive the rotating sleeve 88, the active rotating part 29 and the transfer support assembly 7 to move upward, so that the electrode rod 72 is moved upward from the groove 37 to be processed of the workpiece 36, and then the electrode rod 72 is taken out from the V-shaped groove 71.

[0111] Fig.14As shown, when the electrode rod 72 is worn or replaced with an electrode rod 72 of a different diameter, it is necessary to readjust the position of the electrode rod 72 so that the axis of the electrode rod 72 is coaxial with the axis of the rotating sleeve 88. Specifically, a radial adjustment assembly 86 is provided on the rotating sleeve 88, and the radial adjustment assembly 86 includes a radial displacement bracket 864, a radial fixed guide rail 862, a radial motor 861, a radial screw 863 and a radial nut. The radial fixed guide rail 862 and the radial motor 861 are fixed on the cross frame 85, the radial displacement bracket 864 is slidably set on the radial fixed guide rail 862, the radial screw 863 is connected to the output shaft of the radial motor 861, the radial screw 863 is arranged radially along the rotating sleeve 88, the radial nut is sleeved on the radial screw 863, and the radial displacement bracket 864 and the radial nut are connected. The radial motor 861 drives the radial screw 863 to rotate, and the radial screw 863 drives the radial nut and the radial displacement bracket 864 to move back and forth relative to the rotating sleeve 88 in the radial direction of the rotating sleeve 88. The above-mentioned indexing support assembly 7 is fixed on the radial displacement bracket 864. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the electrode rod 72, the V-shaped groove 71 is driven by the radial displacement bracket 864 to move back and forth relative to the rotating sleeve 88 in the radial direction of the rotating sleeve 88, so that the axis of the electrode rod 72 clamped in the V-shaped groove 71 is coaxial with the axis of the rotating sleeve 88, which is convenient for adjustment and has stronger applicability.
