[0038] It should be noted that, because the linear axis Z1 and the linear axis X1 are perpendicular to each other, the rotating spindle C1 will swing around the linear axis X1 at a preset angle driven by the rotating axis A1, and the preset angle is determined by the workpiece processing shape and is not limited here. The relatively free range of motion of the rotating spindle C1 makes the installation of the workpiece to be processed more flexible and convenient.
[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, when processing is performed, the workpiece is placed in the workpiece chuck 1, and the electrode wire processes the workpiece; a ruled surface is a surface composed of one or several families of straight lines. In the implementation of this application, the electrode wire can be regarded as a constituent straight line of the ruled surface, and the position direction of the electrode wire is controlled by the linear axis Y1, the linear axis X1, the rotation axis C2 and the rotation axis W1, which greatly improves the spatial position change range of the electrode wire; the workpiece is connected to one end of the rotation axis main C1, and is controlled by the linear axis Z1, the rotation axis A1 and the rotation main axis C1, which also greatly improves the spatial position change range of the workpiece.

The rotating shaft W1 and the wire transport mechanism are placed at the top of the second bracket.
[0046] It should be noted that the positions of the rotating axis W1 , the rotating axis A1 and the wire transport mechanism are higher than the oil tank 4 , so that the mechanical arms on the rotating axis W1 and the rotating axis A1 can extend into the oil tank 4 .
[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the wire transport mechanism includes a wire storage wheel 8 and a wire collecting wheel 9, and the wire collecting wheel 9 is driven by a motor to perform wire collecting movement; a mechanical arm is provided at the end face of the rotating seat of the rotating shaft W1 close to the workpiece chuck 1, and the mechanical arm rotates with the rotating seat of the rotating shaft W1, and the wire storage wheel 8 and the wire collecting wheel 9 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating shaft W1, and the two ends of the electrode wire are respectively arranged in the wire storage wheel 8 and the wire collecting wheel 9, and bypass the mechanical arm of the rotating shaft W1, and the wire storage wheel 8 serves as a resistance device to keep the electrode wire in a taut state.
[0048] It should be noted that the wire storage wheel 8 and the wire collecting wheel 9 can be replaced according to the diameter and length of the electrode wire. The positions of the wire storage wheel 8 and the wire collecting wheel 9 are fixed relative to the oil tank 4, which reduces the movement inertia of the electrode wire and makes the cutting of the electrode wire more stable.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the machine tool is processing, the electrode wire and the workpiece are both immersed in the processing fluid in the oil tank 4 .
[0056] One of the core concepts of the embodiment of the present invention is that compared with the related art, the present application includes the following advantages: the rotating spindle C1 can swing around the linear axis X1, so that the relative position variation range of the electrode wire and the workpiece space is increased. At the same time, due to the flexible position of the rotating spindle C1, the installation of the workpiece is more convenient; the motion range between the axes is increased by the linear axis, and the cutting accuracy and flexibility of the machine tool are improved; the wire storage wheel 8 and the wire transport wheel are fixed relative to the oil tank 4, and only the rotating axis W1 rotates, which reduces the rotational inertia of the electrode wire and further improves the cutting flexibility.
