Wire cutting machines use metal wires as electrodes to cut workpieces through electric spark discharge. Its advantages are high cutting accuracy and strong adaptability.
[0003] In the process of processing a micro-channel tube mold (also known as an oblique rib tube mold), it is necessary to perform oblique electric spark wire cutting on the male mold protrusion of the mold, and the mold needs to be tilted at a certain angle before processing.

[0050] Embodiment 1
[0051] The present invention provides a bridge fixture for hot extrusion die wire cutting, please refer to Figures 1 to 4, including a base 1; a support seat 2, wherein the support seat 2 is arranged above the base 1; a fixed seat 3, wherein the fixed seat 3 is mounted between the support seats 2; a support member 4, wherein the support member 4 is arranged above the fixed seat 3 and is used to support a workpiece; a locking mechanism 5, wherein the locking mechanism 5 includes a first locking member 501 for limiting the fixed seat 3, and a second locking member 502 for fixing the support member 4; a processing member 6, wherein the processing member 6 includes a cutting area 601, and a knife edge 602 arranged on one side of the processing member 6.
[0052] The support seat 2, the fixing seat 3, and the support member 4 are all arranged in a pair. The support member 4 includes a wire feed port 401 that runs through it from top to bottom and is connected to the outside world; the support member 4 is made of high-strength material, and the support member 4 is composed of two opposite surfaces, forming an angle within the range of 120° to 150°, wherein the first surface is fixed by the second locking member 502, and the second surface is in contact with the workpiece 6, and is used to support the workpiece 6.
[0053] The base 1 includes a first slide groove 101 arranged on its surface, and stoppers 102 arranged at both ends of the first slide groove 101; the support seat 2 includes a pair of first sliders 201 arranged at the bottom of its two ends, a second slide groove 202 arranged on one side of the support seat 2, and a plurality of limiting holes 203 opened on the support seat 2; the first slider 201 cooperates with the first slide groove 101; the fixed seat 3 includes a pair of second sliders 301 opened at the bottom of its two ends, and a plurality of fixing holes 302 opened on the fixed seat 3; the second slider 301 cooperates with the second slide groove 202.
[0054] The second locking member 502 includes a fixing plate 502a, and a pair of connecting members 502b passing through the fixing hole 302 and the fixing plate 502a for fastening the fixing plate 502a; the outer surface of the fixing plate 502a is also a rough and dense fine tooth surface for increasing the friction between the fixing plate 502a and the supporting member 4.
[0055] It should be noted that the fixture needs to process the protruding part of the male mold of a micro-channel tube mold (also known as a ribbed tube mold), and multiple grooves need to be processed by electric spark wire cutting, such as Figure 1 As shown, the left side is before processing and the right side is after processing. The depth and angle of the groove are limited. Since the wire cutting direction of the EDM wire cutting machine can only be vertically downward, the fixture not only needs to play a positioning role, but also needs to be convenient for adjusting the angle.
[0056] Preferably, the base 1, the support seat 2 and the fixed seat 3 are all made of high-strength square steel material. The base 1 is fixedly installed on the workbench of the online cutting machine, and a first slide groove 101 is opened on its surface to pass through it. Stoppers 102 are provided at both ends of the first slide groove 101 to limit the moving range of the first slider 201 under the support seat 2 in the first slide groove to prevent it from sliding out of the two ends of the slide groove, thereby ensuring stability and safety.
[0057] Preferably, the support seat 2 can slide on the first slide groove 101 to adjust the distance according to the length of the fixed seat 3. The support seat 2 includes a first slider 201 fixedly installed at the bottom, and a second slide groove 202 opened on the side. The second slide groove 202 cooperates with the second slider 301 on the fixed seat 3 to enable the fixed seat 3 to slide on the support seat 2 to adjust the distance between the support members 4 on both sides according to the size of the mold. The top of the support seat 2 is also provided with limiting holes 203 arranged in an even array. The limiting holes 203 pass through the support seat 2 and are used to install the first locking member 501 to limit the fixed seat 3. The number of limiting holes 203 can be increased or decreased according to the specification range requirements of the mold processing.
[0058] Preferably, the upper surface of the fixing seat 3 is also provided with two rows of fixing holes 302 arranged in an even array, which penetrate the fixing seat 3 and can be used to install the support member 4 through the cooperation between the connecting piece 502b and the fixing hole 302. In this embodiment, the connecting piece 502b uses a pair of bolts and nuts, and the fixing plate 502a is a rectangular metal plate. A runway-shaped bolt groove is provided at both ends of the fixing plate 502a. The long bolts pass through the fixing holes 302 in turn, and the fixing plate 502a is finally fixed with nuts. The bolt groove is set in a runway shape to provide a certain amount of moving space for the fixing plate, so that the position of the fixing plate can be fine-tuned during installation to better align and adapt to the bolts and nuts. The outer surface of the fixing plate 502a adopts a rough and dense fine tooth surface design, which can effectively increase the friction between the support member 4 and the support member 4, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection. During installation, the approximate position of the support member 4 can be fixed by the connecting piece first, without locking, and then fixed again after the position of the support member 4 is adjusted to ensure the accuracy and stability of the connection.
[0059] Preferably, the outer surface of the support member 4 is also rough and densely toothed, so as to increase the friction between the second locking member 502 and the processing member 6 , thereby improving the locking stability of the second locking member 502 and the stability of the processing member 6 placed on the support member 4 .
[0060] Preferably, the wire feed opening 401 passes through the support member 4 to facilitate the alignment of the electrode wire with the cutting edge 602. During the alignment, the electrode wire must pass through the support member 4 and contact the cutting edge 602. However, the width of the support member 4 often needs to be designed to take into account the application of molds of various specifications. Therefore, when the support member 4 is used for some thinner molds, the electrode wire needs to pass through the wire feed opening 401 for alignment, thereby meeting diverse processing needs and enabling it to adapt to molds of different specifications.
[0061] It should be noted that wire EDM is a process of cutting by using a metal wire as an electrode to electro-erode the workpiece through electric spark discharge. During the machining process, the electrode wire will not come into direct contact with the workpiece, and the position of the mold will not change during the movement of the electrode wire. Moreover, since the material of the mold is usually H13 mold steel, which has a large density and mass, even if the electrode wire does not completely touch the mold due to corrosion, it is difficult to overcome the friction between the mold and the support 4. Therefore, it is completely feasible to fix the mold by this bridge clamp.
[0062] In summary, the bridge clamp for wire cutting of hot extrusion dies of the present invention can adapt to dies of different shapes and sizes through the design of the support parts. The operator only needs to simply adjust the position of the fixing seat and the support parts to clamp dies of various specifications. Not only is the flexibility improved, but there is no need to squeeze the clamp during use, and no scratches or marks will be left. The service life and processing accuracy are greatly improved. There is no need to remove the clamp when the mold angle needs to be adjusted, and manual adjustment is more convenient.

[0077] The electrode wire adjustment method in step S5 is:
[0078] S5-1: firstly rotate the workpiece 6 to a position where the cross section of the cutting edge 602 is roughly parallel to the electrode wire, and remotely control the electrode wire to move along the wire feed opening 401 to approach the cross section of the cutting edge 602;
[0079] S5-2: Power on the electrode wire, fix the Y-axis and Z-axis of the lathe, adjust the X-axis of the lathe so that the electrode wire slowly contacts the cross section of the tool edge 602, observe and continuously move the electrode wire close to and away from the tool edge, adjust the angle of the workpiece 6, make the spark size of the upper end and the lower end of the tool edge 602 consistent, finally make the electrode wire parallel to the tool edge 602, and the tool setting is completed.

A method for using the bridge clamp for electric spark wire cutting of hot extrusion dies as claimed in claim 9, characterized in that: The electrode wire adjustment method in step S5 is: S5-1: The workpiece (6) is rotated to a position where the cross section of the tool edge (602) is approximately parallel to the electrode wire, and the electrode wire is remotely controlled to move along the wire feed opening (401) to approach the cross section of the tool edge (602); S5-2: Power on the electrode wire, fix the Y-axis and Z-axis of the lathe, adjust the X-axis of the lathe so that the electrode wire slowly contacts the cross section of the cutting edge (602), and manually adjust the angle of the workpiece (6) by observing and continuously moving the electrode wire closer to and away from the cutting edge so that the sparks at the upper and lower ends of the cutting edge (602) are consistent in size. Finally, the electrode wire is parallel to the cutting edge (602), and the cutting is completed.
