Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of slow wire EDM machine technology, and in particular to an automatic wire threading panel structure and its working process for a slow wire EDM machine. Background Technology

[0002] Slow-speed wire EDM is a type of electrical discharge wire cutting that uses a continuously moving fine metal wire as an electrode to remove metal and cut the workpiece using pulsed spark discharge. It is mainly used to process various complex and precision small workpieces. Because slow-speed wire EDM machines adopt a continuous wire electrode feeding method, that is, the wire electrode completes the processing during the movement, even if the wire electrode is worn out, it can be continuously replenished, thus improving the machining accuracy of parts.

[0003] With the continuous advancement of wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) technology, the requirements for workpiece machining accuracy and surface roughness are becoming increasingly stringent, placing higher demands on the wire feeding system. In recent years, the development of slow-wire EDM machines has been extremely rapid, with significant breakthroughs in machining accuracy, surface roughness, and cutting speed. This has also placed higher demands on the stability and precision of the cutting machine control system. Constant speed and constant tension control of the wire feeding mechanism is a crucial indicator for evaluating the performance of slow-wire EDM machines, directly affecting the workpiece machining accuracy and surface quality. However, existing control mechanisms do not provide sufficient stability and precision for cutting machine control, failing to meet the requirements of high-level EDM technology. This results in a high wire breakage rate during processing, impacting production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] This invention provides an automatic wire threading panel structure for a slow wire EDM machine, comprising a panel, wherein the panel is provided with:

[0006] The wire supply mechanism includes a wire supply reel and a wire supply motor;

[0007] A yarn-forming mechanism includes a yarn-forming wheel and a balancing wheel, wherein the balancing wheel is disposed between the yarn-forming wheels;

[0008] The tensioning mechanism includes a servo motor, a tension wheel, and a pressure wheel. The pressure wheel is arranged around the tension wheel, and the servo motor controls the rotation direction and speed of the tension wheel.

[0009] The heating and straightening mechanism includes a copper block, a miniature cylinder, and a straightener, wherein the straightener has a space for the copper block to move within it;

[0010] An automatic threading mechanism includes a sliding seat and a threading tube, wherein the threading tube can move with the sliding seat to the head of the cutting machine;

[0011] The fuse mechanism includes a clamping cylinder, a ceramic ring, and a conductive block. Under the action of the clamping cylinder, the ceramic ring and the conductive block are clamped together, thereby melting the electrode wire.

[0012] A cutting machine head fixing seat is provided inside the cutting machine head fixing seat;

[0013] While the conductive block conducts electricity, the miniature cylinder pushes the copper block into the copper block's moving space, and conducts current / voltage to the copper block through the electrode wire, thereby hardening the electrode wire between the heating and straightening mechanism and the fuse mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the panel is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and the balance wheel is configured to slide within the arc-shaped groove for automatic adjustment of tension.

[0015] Furthermore, the fuse mechanism also includes a clamping cylinder mounting base, a first fixing block, a second fixing block, and a clamping block. The clamping cylinder is fixed inside the clamping cylinder mounting base, and the telescopic rod of the clamping cylinder is connected to the first fixing block. The first fixing block is provided with a ceramic ring and a clamping block. The second fixing block is also fixed inside the clamping cylinder mounting base, and the second fixing block is provided with a conductive block.

[0016] Furthermore, the panel is also provided with a wire clamping mechanism, which is located between the tensioning mechanism and the automatic threading mechanism. The wire clamping mechanism includes a first wire clamping wheel, a second wire clamping wheel, and a wire clamping cylinder. The second wire clamping wheel is fixedly mounted on the panel, and the first wire clamping wheel is clamped to the second wire clamping wheel under the action of the wire clamping cylinder.

[0017] Furthermore, the panel is also provided with a waste material handling mechanism, which is located below the fuse mechanism. The waste material handling mechanism includes a waste material box, a waste wire clamping cylinder, and a waste wire clamping block. The waste wire clamping cylinder is connected to the waste wire clamping block, and under the action of the waste wire clamping cylinder, the waste wire clamping block is moved to the waste material box.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper head of the cutting machine is provided with a clearance mechanism, which includes a clearance cylinder and a clearance block. The upper head of the cutting machine is provided with a space for the clearance block to move. The clearance block is set in the space for the clearance block to move. When punching the wire, the clearance block retracts under the action of the clearance cylinder, so that the electrode wire passes through the upper head of the cutting machine.

[0019] Furthermore, the panel is also equipped with a pressure regulating valve for regulating the air pressure inside the wire-threading tube and cooling it.

[0020] Furthermore, the panel is also equipped with a wire-punching water pressure regulating valve, which adjusts the water pressure of the hollow water column to keep the electrode wire between the cutting machine head and the heating and straightening mechanism perpendicular.

[0021] This invention also provides a workflow for an automatic wire threading panel of a slow wire EDM machine, the workflow being as follows:

[0022] (1) Start the wire feeding motor, and the wire feeding wheel begins to feed wire;

[0023] (2) The tension of the electrode wire is adjusted by the wire straightening mechanism and the tensioning mechanism, and the servo motor controls the tension wheel to rotate clockwise;

[0024] (3) The first wire clamping wheel clamps the electrode wire with the second wire clamping wheel under the action of the wire clamping cylinder;

[0025] (4) The electrode wire passes through the straightener and the wire-threading tube in sequence;

[0026] (5) Under the action of the sliding seat, the wire tube is moved to the upper head of the cutting machine and the electrode wire is transferred to the upper head of the cutting machine;

[0027] (6) The sliding seat returns to its original position, and at the same time, the punching water pressure regulating valve is controlled so that the hollow water jet from the water pipe at the machine head of the cutting machine wraps the electrode wire and controls the electrode wire to prevent it from shaking.

[0028] (7) Under the action of the relief cylinder, the relief block retracts, allowing the electrode wire to pass through the upper head of the cutting machine and begin processing the workpiece.

[0029] Furthermore, the workflow when it is necessary to change the machining hole position is as follows:

[0030] The ceramic ring of the fuse mechanism is pressed against the conductive block by the clamping cylinder. When current / voltage is supplied to the conductive block, the micro cylinder pushes the copper block into the copper block's moving space and conducts the current / voltage to the copper block through the electrode wire. The control air pressure regulating valve regulates the air pressure in the wire-threading tube and cools it, so that the electrode wire between the heating straightening mechanism and the fuse mechanism hardens. The tension wheel rotates counterclockwise under the action of the servo motor to straighten the electrode wire.

[0031] After the electrode wire melts, the tension wheel rotates clockwise under the action of the servo motor and triggers the waste wire clamping cylinder to move the waste wire clamping block to the waste box, where the waste falls into the waste box; the wire melting mechanism and the waste handling mechanism return to their original positions.

[0032] The sliding seat moves the wire tube to the upper head of the cutting machine, and continues to transmit the electrode wire to the upper head of the cutting machine.

[0033] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] (1) The tensioning mechanism of the present invention consists of multiple pressure rollers respectively arranged around the tensioning roller, which can uniformly press the tensioning roller to provide tension to the electrode wire, thereby protecting the electrode wire and preventing wire breakage, thus improving safety performance.

[0035] (2) The panel of the present invention is provided with an arc-shaped sliding groove, and the balance wheel can adjust the electrode wire by itself so that the electrode wire always maintains a certain tension;

[0036] (3) The present invention is provided with a heating and straightening mechanism. When the fuse mechanism is working, the current can be conducted to the copper block through the electrode wire, so that the electrode wire in the wire-threading tube is hardened. The hardened electrode wire has a flatter cross section that is easier to melt and break, thus improving the success rate of the next wire threading.

[0037] (4) The present invention is equipped with a wire threading water pressure regulating valve. By adjusting the water pressure, a hollow water column is sprayed out to wrap the electrode wire, so that the electrode wire does not shake and the success rate of threading is improved.

[0071] S5, under the action of the sliding seat 51, the wire tube 52 is moved to the upper head 110 of the cutting machine and the electrode wire is transferred to the upper head 110 of the cutting machine.

[0072] S6, the sliding seat 51 returns to its original position, and at the same time controls the punching water pressure regulating valve 12, so that the hollow water jet from the water pipe at the upper head 110 of the cutting machine wraps the electrode wire and controls the electrode wire to prevent it from shaking.

[0073] S7, under the action of the yielding cylinder 131, the yielding block 132 retracts, allowing the electrode wire to pass through the upper head 110 of the cutting machine and begin processing the workpiece.

[0074] like Figure 11 The workflow when it is necessary to change the machining hole position is as follows:

[0075] S8, the ceramic ring 65 of the fuse mechanism 6 is pressed against the conductive block 66 by the clamping cylinder 62. When current / voltage is supplied to the conductive block 66, the micro cylinder 102 pushes the copper block 101 into the copper block moving space 104 and conducts the current / voltage to the copper block 101 through the electrode wire. The control air pressure regulating valve 9 regulates the air pressure in the wire-threading tube and cools it, so that the electrode wire between the heating straightening mechanism 10 and the fuse mechanism 6 hardens. And the tension wheel 41 rotates counterclockwise under the action of the servo motor to straighten the electrode wire.

[0076] S9, after the electrode wire is completely melted, the tension wheel 41 rotates clockwise under the action of the servo motor and triggers the waste wire clamping cylinder 82 to move the waste wire clamping block 83 to the waste box 81, and the waste falls into the waste box 81; the fuse mechanism 6 and the waste processing mechanism 8 return to their original positions.
