Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric spark discharge machining, and in particular to an electric spark machining discharge plasma control circuit and method. Background Art
[0002] Electrospark machining (EDM) technology is a special machining method that utilizes pulsed spark discharges between a tool electrode immersed in a working fluid and a workpiece. The high temperature of the discharge plasma melts and vaporizes the workpiece material in the local area of the discharge point, and then copies the electrode shape onto the workpiece. Due to its unique material removal mechanism and typical non-contact machining method, it has some advantages that are difficult to achieve with traditional cutting machining, such as "using softness to overcome hardness", "striking objects through the air", and "meticulous". At present, EDM technology has become an indispensable part of advanced manufacturing technology, playing an irreplaceable role in solving difficult-to-cut materials, complex shapes, precision and micro-machining problems, especially in the aerospace, automotive, energy, microelectronics and other manufacturing fields.
[0003] Currently, the main factor hindering the further development of EDM technology is its low molten material ejection rate. This refers to the low molten material ejection rate. This is because when the plasma's thermal energy acts on the workpiece surface, melting the workpiece material, not all of the molten material is effectively ejected. Instead, over 70% of the molten material remains on the workpiece surface and resolidifies upon cooling. This phenomenon primarily results in low energy utilization and machining efficiency, as only a small portion of the energy applied to the discharge plasma by the pulsed power supply actually results in material removal. Furthermore, after cooling, the molten material resolidifies on the workpiece surface, forming a recast layer. This recast layer has significantly different physical and chemical properties from the workpiece's base material and is highly likely to contain defects such as microcracks, which can negatively impact the serviceability of the machined part. Therefore, the industry urgently needs a method to significantly enhance the ejection of molten material during the discharge process. Controlling the heat and pressure sources of the discharge plasma itself is a fundamental measure to enhance molten material ejection and improve EDM performance. However, achieving targeted control of the discharge plasma remains a pressing technical challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0047] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0048] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an EDM discharge plasma control circuit, which includes: a core control unit, a spike generation circuit, and an oscillation current circuit;
[0049] The core control unit is connected to the peak generating circuit and the oscillating current circuit respectively;
[0050] The peak generating circuit includes: a peak capacitor C sc 、MOS tube Q scc And MOS tube Q scd ; Peak capacitance C sc With MOS tube Q scc After being connected in series, they are connected in parallel to both ends of the DC power supply; the peak capacitor C sc With MOS tube Q scdAfter being connected in series, they are connected in parallel to both ends of the discharge gap; the spike generating circuit is a capacitor circuit with controllable charging and discharging superimposed on the resistor current limiting circuit. When the resistor current limiting circuit is turned on and the discharge continues, the capacitor charging circuit is turned on at the same time, and the capacitor voltage is charged to the peak voltage value; when the resistor current limiting circuit is turned off and the discharge pulse ends, due to the parasitic inductance in the overall discharge circuit, the discharge current does not drop to 0 instantly, but gradually decreases in the form of a tail. At this time, at the appropriate moment in the tailing stage of the discharge current, the capacitor discharge circuit is controlled to be turned on, and the energy stored in the capacitor is quickly applied to the discharge gap, thereby generating a rapidly rising current spike. Among them, the greater the degree of contraction of the discharge plasma, the more significant the explosive ejection effect caused by the spike current;
[0051] The oscillating current loop includes: four identical resistor current limiting loops; each resistor current limiting loop includes: a MOS tube (Q bc1 To Q bc4 ) and resistance (R bc1 to R bc4 ); the four identical resistor current-limiting circuits are four parallel, on-off controllable resistor current-limiting circuits. At the beginning of discharge, the four circuits are simultaneously turned on and working, at which time the discharge current is constantly at its maximum value; and after the oscillation starts, one to three of the four circuits begin to periodically turn off and on according to the oscillation cycle, thereby causing the discharge current to periodically decrease and increase, producing an oscillating effect.
[0052] The core control unit is used to control the MOS tube of each resistance current limiting loop to conduct different loops during the long pulse width processing process to generate oscillating currents of different amplitudes; the core control unit is also used to control the MOS tube Q during the pulse duration during the short pulse width processing process. scc Conductivity, MOS tube Q scd Turn off, so that the peak capacitor C sc Charge to the peak voltage value; when the discharge pulse ends and the basic rectangular discharge current drops to 0, the MOS tube Q is controlled scc Shutdown, MOS tube Q scd Turn on, so that the peak capacitor C sc Discharge generates peak current.
[0053] The core control unit is an FPGA control unit.
[0054] In order to assist the discharge breakdown and realize accurate discharge and regulation timing control, the EDM discharge plasma regulation circuit further comprises: an auxiliary breakdown circuit; the auxiliary breakdown circuit is connected to the core control unit;
[0055] The auxiliary breakdown circuit includes: a MOS tube Q hv and resistor R hvThe auxiliary breakdown circuit is used to conduct the circuit under the control of the core control unit, generating a high voltage across the discharge gap. When a discharge breakdown occurs, the circuit is closed under the control of the core control unit. The post-process oscillation control implementation circuit or the peak control implementation circuit begins to operate according to the established control timing.
[0056] The peak generating circuit also includes: scc The series charging resistor R scc .
[0057] The present application can significantly promote the ejection of molten metal during electrospark discharge machining through the post-process oscillation control method and the peak pulse control method, thereby improving the overall machining efficiency by more than 25% and reducing the thickness of the recast layer by about 56%; the present application is to promote the ejection of molten metal, and it itself does not cause the melting of new workpiece metal, so the surface quality of the machining workpiece after the control method is adopted will not be significantly affected; the present application can be achieved by optimizing the pulse power supply and its control strategy, without the need to modify the machine tool body structure, and is relatively easy to implement.
