Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of tooling design in the mechanical processing of aircraft engine blades, and specifically to a structural research invention for electrically machining arc groove electrodes to achieve a continuous oil injection function with uniform full coverage of the discharge area. Background Art

[0002] In electromechanical machining (EDM) processes, electrodes are typically discharged using either oil-immersed discharge areas or oil-sprayed discharge areas independently through pipes. The first method suffers from poor oil flowability, resulting in ineffective flushing of the discharge area. The second method can lead to uneven oil flushing or localized leakage of the discharge area. Neither method is ideal for EDM applications, as carbon deposits and fires can easily form in the discharge area, resulting in excessive surface roughness, expansion of the heat-affected zone, and even uneven discharge gaps. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a uniform full-coverage continuous oil spraying electrode device to solve the problem of uneven oil flushing of electric sparks or local leakage flushing of the electrode discharge area.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0005] A uniform, full-coverage, continuous oil-spraying electrode device for an electrical machining center is characterized in that it comprises: a first pressing block, a second pressing block, a sealing plate, and an electrode plate. The first pressing block is connected to the second pressing block to form an open oil storage chamber. The top of the oil storage chamber is crimped with a sealing plate, which is fixedly connected to the top of the side wall of the oil storage chamber. The bottom of the oil storage chamber forms a pressing portion for connecting the electrode plate. Oil spray ports are evenly arranged along the connecting surface of the electrode plate on the pressing portion. An oil inlet for oil supply is provided on the side of the oil storage chamber.

The uniform setting can ensure that the oil discharged from the oil spray ports is evenly sprayed onto the entire electrode plate, which can solve the problem of uneven flushing of electric spark oil or local leakage and flushing in the electrode discharge area.

[0007] Furthermore, the first compression block includes a first base plate and a first side plate. The first base plate has a connecting surface with regular protrusions and grooves, while the connecting surface of the first side plate is a smooth surface. The second compression block includes a second base plate and a second side plate. The connecting surface of the second base plate has regular protrusions and grooves that correspond to the protrusions and grooves on the first base plate, while the connecting surface of the first side plate is a smooth surface. The protrusions and grooves are provided to form the oil injection port, while the smooth surface ensures a tight connection and reduces oil leakage.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to facilitate connection to an electric machining center for use, a connecting plate is provided on the side of the second side plate away from the oil storage chamber, and a connecting rod for connecting to the electric machining center is fixedly provided on the connecting plate toward the side of the bottom plate away from the oil storage chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the oil supply system to input oil into the oil storage chamber, the oil inlet is detachably connected to the second side plate, and an oil inlet pipe is provided on the side of the oil inlet away from the oil storage chamber for connecting to the oil supply system.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the oil storage chamber is sealed except for the oil injection port, a lateral sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the connecting surface of the first side plate and the connecting surface of the second side plate, and the lateral sealing gasket covers the entire connecting surface of the first side plate and the connecting surface of the second side plate.

[0011] Furthermore, to ensure that the sealing plate is detachable and facilitate the inspection of the oil storage chamber at the rear, connecting screws are provided on the sealing plate and locked to the second side plate and the upper side surface of the second side plate.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the oil storage chamber will not overflow from the position where the sealing plate is connected to the second side plate and the upper side of the second side plate, a sealing gasket is provided on the side of the sealing plate connected to the second side plate and the upper side of the second side plate, and the sealing gasket covers the entire top plate.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to fix the electrode plate on the device and ensure that the electrode plate can be brushed evenly, the protrusion and the groove portion form a pressing portion of the electrode plate, the top of the protrusion is pressed against the surface of the electrode plate, and the groove forms an oil injection port.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the spark oil can fully cover the electrode plate, the opening of the oil injection port gradually becomes larger along the oil injection direction.

[0015] The advantages of adopting this further solution are: 1. The evenly spaced oil nozzles are located on the base plate where they connect to the electrode plate, ensuring uniform oil application. 2. Sealing gaskets are installed at all connections to prevent oil leakage from the oil reservoir except at the nozzles. 3. The oil inlet pipe and connecting rod are arranged in the same direction, which reduces the installation footprint and facilitates installation. 4. The oil nozzles gradually widen along the direction of the oil spray, ensuring that the entire electrode plate is flushed with spark plug oil. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] A uniform full coverage continuous oil spray electrode device, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, it is used for an electrical machining center, comprising: a first clamping block 1, a second clamping block 2, a sealing plate 3 and an electrode plate 4. The first clamping block 1 is connected to the second clamping block 2 to form an open oil storage chamber 5. The top of the oil storage chamber 5 is crimped with a sealing plate 3. The sealing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the side wall of the oil storage chamber 5. The bottom of the oil storage chamber 5 forms a clamping portion for connecting the electrode plate 4. Oil spray ports 6 are evenly arranged along the connecting surface of the electrode plate 4 on the clamping portion; an oil inlet 7 for oil supply is arranged on the side of the oil storage chamber 5. In order to fix the electrode plate 4 on the device and ensure that the electrode plate 4 can be brushed evenly, the protrusion and the groove form the clamping portion of the electrode plate 4. The top of the protrusion is pressed against the surface of the electrode plate 4, and the groove forms the oil spray port 6.

[0023] The device can improve the ability of the electric spark oil to continuously spray and flush the discharge area without omission. The device integrates the electric machining oil injection system into the electrode device, and relies on the consistency of the oil injection port 6 and the electrode plate 4 itself to achieve uniform and full coverage of the discharge area and continuous flushing capability, avoiding the poor fluidity of the electric spark oil, uneven spraying or local leakage of spraying that causes carbon deposition or fire on the electrode during the previous immersion or independent oil pipe spraying processing method, ensuring the consistency of the discharge gap during the overall processing process, and improving the processing quality and efficiency of the electric machining.

[0024] An oil storage chamber 5 is provided on the device. The bottom plate of the oil storage chamber 5 is connected to the electrode plate 4. The electrode plate 4 is directly connected to the bottom of the oil storage chamber 5, and oil nozzles 6 are evenly provided at the connection positions. The oil nozzles 6 can discharge the oil from the oil storage chamber 5. When the device is in use, the oil nozzles 6 are the only outlet of the internal oil circuit of the oil storage chamber 5. The uniform setting can ensure that the oil discharged from the oil nozzles 6 is evenly sprayed to the entire electrode plate 4, which can solve the problem of uneven flushing of electric spark oil or local leakage and flushing in the electrode discharge area.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first clamping block 1 includes a first base plate 102 and a first side plate 101. Regular protrusions and grooves are provided on the connecting surface of the first base plate 102, and the connecting surface of the first side plate 101 is set as a smooth plane. The second clamping block 2 includes a second base plate 202 and a second side plate 201. Regular protrusions and grooves are provided on the connecting surface of the second base plate 202, which correspond to the protrusions and grooves on the first base plate 102, and the connecting surface of the first side plate 101 is set as a smooth plane. The protrusions and grooves are provided to form the oil injection port 6, and the smooth plane is to ensure that the connection position is tightly fitted to reduce oil leakage. In order to facilitate connection to the electric machining center for use, a connecting plate 8 is provided on the side of the second side plate 201 away from the oil storage chamber 5, and a connecting rod 9 for connecting to the electric machining center is fixedly provided on the connecting plate 8 toward the side of the base plate away from the oil storage chamber 5.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the oil supply system to input oil into the oil storage chamber 5, the oil inlet 7 is detachably connected to the second side plate 201, and an oil inlet pipe 10 is provided on the side of the oil inlet 7 away from the oil storage chamber 5 for connecting to the oil supply system.

[0027] In this embodiment, to ensure that the oil storage chamber 5 is sealed except for the oil injection port 6, a lateral sealing gasket 11 is provided at the connection between the connecting surface of the first side panel 101 and the connecting surface of the second side panel 201. The lateral sealing gasket 11 covers the entire connecting surface of the first side panel 101 and the connecting surface of the second side panel 201. To ensure that the sealing plate 3 is removable, which facilitates the inspection of the oil storage chamber 5 at the rear and also facilitates the replacement of the top sealing gasket 12, the sealing plate 3 is provided with connecting screws 13 that are locked to the second side panel 201 and the upper side of the second side panel 201. To ensure that the oil storage chamber 5 does not overflow from the position where the sealing plate 3 connects to the upper side of the second side panel 201 and the upper side of the second side panel 201, a sealing gasket is provided on the side of the sealing plate 3 that connects to the upper side of the second side panel 201 and the upper side of the second side panel 201, and the sealing gasket covers the entire top plate.

[0028] A number of fan-shaped oil nozzles 6 are opened on the contact surface between the first clamping block 1, the second clamping block 2 and the electrode plate 4. These oil nozzles 6 are fan-shaped and face downward. Sufficient space is reserved above the electrode plate 4 and the oil nozzles 6 to form an oil storage chamber 5. Except for the oil nozzle 6 at the bottom, the rest of the oil storage chamber 5 is completely sealed by the side sealing gasket 11, the top sealing gasket 12 and the sealing plate 3. An oil inlet pipe 10 is installed on the first clamping block 1 on the side wall of the oil storage chamber 5, integrating a set of oil inlet, oil storage and flushing functions on the electrode plate 4, thereby achieving the function of uniform full coverage and continuous flushing of the electrode plate 4.

[0029] A number of oil injection ports 6 are opened on the contact surface between the first clamping block 1, the second clamping block 2 and the electrode plate 4. These oil injection ports 6 are fan-shaped and face downward. Sufficient space is reserved above the electrode plate 4 and the oil injection ports 6 to form an oil storage chamber 5. Except for the oil injection ports 6 at the bottom, the rest of the oil storage chamber 5 is completely sealed by the side sealing gasket 11, the top sealing gasket 12 and the sealing plate 3. An oil inlet pipe 10 is installed on the second clamping block 2 on the side wall of the oil storage chamber 5.

[0030] The present invention cleverly utilizes the shape of the electrode itself. The first pressing block 1 and the second pressing block 2 form an oil storage chamber 5 directly above the electrode plate 4. The oil injection ports 6 are evenly distributed according to the shape of the electrode. At the same time, the fan-shaped design of each oil injection port 6 integrates a set of oil inlet, oil storage, and oil injection functions on the electrode device, realizing the uniform full coverage and continuous flushing function of the electric spark oil.

[0031] The main structural materials are as follows: the first clamping block 1, the oil inlet pipe 10, the second clamping block 2, the sealing plate 3 and other materials are all selected from 45 steel with moderate strength and processing difficulty, and the surface is heat treated to about HRC40; the standard connecting rod 9 is made of CrWMn material, and the surface is heat treated to about HRC58; the electrode plate 4 is made of copper material with good discharge performance and good processing technology; the side sealing gasket 11 and the top surface sealing gasket 12 are selected from nitrile rubber sheets, which have good sealing performance, strong oil corrosion resistance and are inexpensive.

[0032] Working principle of current transfer: The entire electrode is connected to the EDM machine tool by a standard connecting rod 9. The discharge area is directly below the electrode plate 4. The current is transferred to the electrode plate 4 through the standard connecting rod 9, the first pressing block 1 and the second pressing block 2, completing the current transfer function.

[0033] The working principle of oil spray flushing: the external oil supply system is connected to the oil inlet pipe 10. When working, oil is fully passed into the oil storage chamber 5 through the oil inlet pipe 10, and the oil nozzles 6 on both sides of the electrode plate 4 at the bottom of the oil storage chamber 5 begin to flush downward. When the oil volume in the oil storage chamber 5 is sufficient, all the oil nozzles 6 will continue to spray oil; due to the fan-shaped design of the oil nozzles 6, the oil agent sprayed downward through the oil nozzles 6 will spread to both sides. At the intersection of the oil curtain above the electrode discharge area, the spark oil of each oil nozzle 6 begins to connect together to form an oil curtain without dead angles, which continuously flushes the discharge area of ​​the electrode plate 4 in a uniform and full-coverage manner along the front and back surfaces of the electrode.
