Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical discharge electrode storage devices, and in particular to an electrical discharge electrode sorting and storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a machining process that uses discharge electrodes with specific geometries to burn the desired geometry onto a metal (conductive) component. EDM is commonly used in the production of blanking dies and casting molds.
[0003] Electrical discharge electrodes are typically stored in storage boxes, which are then categorized by partitions. However, existing storage boxes have partitions that are fixed inside. When storing different types or quantities of electrical discharge electrodes, the volume of the electrodes varies, and the fixed partitions cannot be adjusted to change the space within the storage box. Therefore, the storage box is inconvenient to use. To address this, a device for categorizing and storing electrical discharge electrodes is needed to facilitate the adjustment of the storage box's internal volume. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for classifying and storing electrical discharge electrodes by adjusting the volume between storage box clamps.
[0005] The technical solution to achieve the above objective is: an electrical discharge electrode sorting and storage device, including a storage box, a door rotatably connected to the storage box, a connecting mechanism provided inside the storage box, a separating mechanism installed on the connecting mechanism, the separating mechanism being used to separate the inner side of the storage box, and a limiting mechanism provided on the separating mechanism, the limiting mechanism being used to fix the separating mechanism to the connecting mechanism.
[0006] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting rod and a sliding groove, the inner bottom of the storage box is provided with a sliding groove, and the inner side wall of the storage box is connected with two symmetrically distributed connecting rods.
[0007] Preferably, there is a gap between the side wall of the connecting rod and the inner side wall of the storage box.
[0008] Preferably, the separating mechanism includes an outer plate, an inner slot, a slider, a slot, a spring, and an inner plate. The side walls of the outer plate and the inner plate are both provided with slots. The side wall of the outer plate is provided with an inner slot. A spring is connected to the side wall of the inner slot. One end of the spring is connected to the inner plate. The side wall of the inner plate is slidably connected to the inner slot. The bottom end of the outer plate is connected to a slider.
[0009] Preferably, a label slot is provided at the top of the outer panel.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a through hole, a fixed block, a guide rod, a first screw, a carrier block, a top block, a round rod, a second screw, a pressure plate, and a round hole. The top of the slot has a through hole. The top of the outer plate and the top of the inner plate are both connected to fixed blocks. The side wall of the fixed block is slidably connected to the guide rod. One end of the guide rod is connected to the carrier block. The side wall of the carrier block is rotatably connected to the first screw. The side wall of the first screw is threadedly connected to the fixed block. The side wall of the carrier block is connected to the top block. The side wall of the top block is connected to the round rod. The side wall of the top block is threadedly connected to the second screw. The bottom end of the second screw is rotatably connected to the pressure plate. The top of the pressure plate has a round hole. The side wall of the round hole is slidably connected to the round rod.
[0011] Preferably, the pressure plate and the carrier block are both located inside the through hole, and the pressure plate, the through hole and the carrier block are all T-shaped. The bottom end of the carrier block and the bottom end of the round rod are flush with the bottom end of the through hole.
[0012] Preferably, the storage box is equipped with a protective mechanism, which includes a slot, a rubber shell, a cover plate, and a groove. The top of the storage box has two symmetrically distributed slots, and a cover plate is inserted into the slot. The top of the cover plate has a groove. The side wall of the storage box is fitted with a rubber shell.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0014] 1) The partitioning mechanism can easily adjust the space of the storage box, thereby adjusting the size of the clamping space to facilitate the placement of EDM electrodes of different volumes, while the limiting mechanism can fix the partitioning mechanism on the connecting mechanism, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping space.
[0015] 2) Press the inner plate into the inner slot. The inner plate compresses the spring, reducing the total length of the inner and outer plates, making it easier to insert between the two connecting rods. Then, align the slot with the connecting rod, allowing the slot to engage with the connecting rod. Insert the slider into the slide groove. The spring compresses the inner plate again, causing the inner and outer plates to press outward against the connecting rod, thus achieving initial stability of the inner and outer plates and enabling convenient installation of the partition mechanism. Pushing the inner and outer plates allows for easy adjustment of the clamping space within the storage box, thus enabling convenient adjustment of the size of the storage box clamping space. Using the limiting mechanism, the outer and inner plates can be fixed to the connecting rod.
[0016] 3) Before the slot is engaged with the connecting rod, the pressure plate is completely inside the through hole to avoid interference when the slot is engaged with the connecting rod. After the inner and outer plates are in place, rotate the second screw to move the pressure plate downwards and insert it into the slot. Then rotate the first screw to move the carrier block towards the connecting rod. The carrier block moves the top block, which in turn moves the pressure plate towards the connecting rod via the round rod and the second screw. This causes the pressure plate to press against the connecting rod. With limit mechanisms at both ends of the inner and outer plates, both pressure plates press against the connecting rod inwards, thus fixing the inner and outer plates and facilitating the fixing of the separation mechanism.

[0029] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Reference Appendix Figure 1-9 An electrical discharge electrode sorting and storage device includes a storage box 1, a door 2 rotatably connected to the storage box 1, a connecting mechanism 3 inside the storage box 1, a separating mechanism 4 installed on the connecting mechanism 3, the separating mechanism 4 being used to separate the inner side of the storage box 1, and a limiting mechanism 5 being provided on the separating mechanism 4, the limiting mechanism 5 being used to fix the separating mechanism 4 to the connecting mechanism 3.
[0031] The separating mechanism 4 can easily adjust the space of the storage box 1, thereby adjusting the size of the clamping space to facilitate the placement of EDM electrodes of different volumes, while the limiting mechanism 5 can fix the separating mechanism 4 on the connecting mechanism 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping space.
[0032] Reference Appendix Figure 1-5The connecting mechanism 3 includes a connecting rod 301 and a sliding groove 302. The sliding groove 302 is provided at the bottom inner end of the storage box 1. Two symmetrically distributed connecting rods 301 are connected to the inner side wall of the storage box 1. There is a gap between the side wall of the connecting rod 301 and the inner side wall of the storage box 1. The separating mechanism 4 includes an outer plate 401, an inner slot 402, a slider 403, a slot 404, a spring 405, and an inner plate 406. The side walls of the outer plate 401 and the inner plate 406 are both provided with slots 404. The side wall of the outer plate 401 is provided with an inner slot 402. The side wall of the inner slot 402 is connected to a spring 405. One end of the spring 405 is connected to the inner plate 406. The side wall of the inner plate 406 is slidably connected to the inner slot 402. The bottom end of the outer plate 401 is connected to a slider 403. The top end of the outer plate 401 is provided with a label groove.
[0033] The inner plate 406 is pressed into the inner slot 402, and the inner plate 406 compresses the spring 405, reducing the total length of the outer plate 401 and the inner plate 406, making it easier to insert between the two connecting rods 301. Then, the slot 404 is aligned with the connecting rod 301, so that the slot 404 is engaged with the connecting rod 301. The slider 403 is inserted into the slide groove 302, and the spring 405 compresses the inner plate 406 again, so that the inner plate 406 and the outer plate 401 can press the connecting rod 301 outward, thereby achieving the initial stability of the inner plate 406 and the outer plate 401 and realizing the effect of convenient installation of the partition mechanism 4. Pushing the inner plate 406 and the outer plate 401 can conveniently adjust the clamping space in the storage box 1, thereby achieving the effect of convenient adjustment of the size of the clamping space in the storage box 1. Using the limiting mechanism 5, the outer plate 401 and the inner plate 406 can be fixed on the connecting rod 301.
[0034] Reference Appendix Figure 4-8 The limiting mechanism 5 includes a through hole 501, a fixed block 502, a guide rod 503, a first screw 504, a carrier block 505, a top block 506, a round rod 507, a second screw 508, a pressure plate 509, and a round hole 510. The top of the slot 404 has a through hole 501. Fixed blocks 502 are connected to the top of both the outer plate 401 and the inner plate 406. The guide rod 503 is slidably connected to the side wall of the fixed block 502. One end of the guide rod 503 is connected to the carrier block 505. The side wall of the carrier block 505 is rotatably connected to the first screw 504. The side wall of the first screw 504 is threadedly connected to the fixed block 502. Next, a top block 506 is connected to the side wall of the carrier block 505, a round rod 507 is connected to the side wall of the top block 506, and a second screw 508 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the top block 506. The bottom end of the second screw 508 is rotatably connected to the pressure plate 509. A round hole 510 is opened at the top of the pressure plate 509. The side wall of the round hole 510 is slidably connected to the round rod 507. The pressure plate 509 and the carrier block 505 are both located inside the through hole 501. The shape of the pressure plate 509, the through hole 501 and the carrier block 505 are all T-shaped. The bottom end of the carrier block 505 and the bottom end of the round rod 507 are flush with the bottom end of the through hole 501.
[0035] Before the slot 404 is engaged with the connecting rod 301, the pressure plate 509 is completely located within the through hole 501 to avoid interference as the slot 404 engages with the connecting rod 301. After the inner plate 406 and outer plate 401 are positioned, the second screw 508 is rotated to move the pressure plate 509 downwards, allowing it to extend into the slot 404. Then, the first screw 504 is rotated to move the carrier block 505 toward the connecting rod 301. 505 drives the top block 506 to move, so that the top block 506 drives the pressure plate 509 to move toward the connecting rod 301 through the round rod 507 and the second screw 508, so that the pressure plate 509 presses the connecting rod 301. With the limit mechanism 5 set at both ends of the inner plate 406 and the outer plate 401, both pressure plates 509 press the connecting rod 301 inward, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the inner plate 406 and the outer plate 401, and achieving the effect of conveniently fixing the separation mechanism 4.

The top of the storage box 1 has two symmetrically distributed slots 601, and a cover plate 603 is inserted and connected to the slot 601. The top of the cover plate 603 has a groove 604. The side wall of the storage box 1 is fitted with a rubber shell 602.
[0037] The physical properties of the rubber shell 602 are used to reduce the impact on the storage box 1. The cover plate 603 can prevent external substances from accidentally entering the storage box 1 when the door 2 is opened. The groove 604 can make it easy to remove the cover plate 603.
