Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic digital data processing, and more specifically to a real-time calibration and control system for a high-frequency EDM machine. Background Technology
[0002] High-frequency EDM is a non-traditional processing method that uses the heat energy generated by electric sparks to process materials. The working principle of high-frequency EDM is based on the phenomenon of electric spark discharge. During the discharge process, a series of rapid and continuous electric sparks are generated between two electrodes. These electric sparks generate high temperatures in a tiny area, which are sufficient to melt or evaporate the material. By precisely controlling the distance between the electrodes and the electric discharge parameters, precise removal of workpiece material can be achieved. However, existing EDM control systems usually maintain the same parameters during the processing, resulting in a certain gap between the processing effect and the expected effect. The processing effect still needs to be improved.
[0003] The foregoing description of the background art is intended only to facilitate understanding of the invention. This description does not endorse or acknowledge any common general knowledge in the materials mentioned.
[0004] Many EDM control systems have been developed. Extensive research and reference have revealed existing control systems, such as the one disclosed in publication number CN111779608B. These systems generally include: a low-voltage on-board power supply, a control module, a high-frequency discharge module, a high-energy replenishment module, and spark plugs. The low-voltage on-board power supply provides power to the entire system. The control module includes the logical allocation of control signals from the high-frequency discharge control module and the high-energy replenishment module to achieve precise control of the discharge frequency and duration. The high-frequency discharge module includes a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a high-voltage coil, used to provide high-frequency breakdown voltage. The first input terminal of the high-voltage coil is connected to the discharge ignition output terminal of the first capacitor, the first output terminal of the high-voltage coil is connected to ground, the second input terminal of the high-voltage coil is connected to the output terminal of the high-voltage coil, and the second output terminal of the high-voltage coil is connected to the spark plugs and the high-energy replenishment module.
