DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a method for recycling an electrode is provided, comprising the following steps: S10: After performing a processing operation on the original electrode blank, an original electrode is obtained, and a first base height of an electrode base and a first head height of an electrode head of the original electrode are acquired.

[0019] Understandably, the original electrode blank refers to the material used to make the electrode, for example, copper, aluminum, etc., or graphite, etc. in metal materials. The electrode base refers to the part other than the electrode head. The electrode head refers to the head of the electrode, which is used to generate an arc through discharge with the workpiece, and partially melt and vaporize the workpiece material through the energy of the arc. The first base height refers to the height of the electrode base of the original electrode. The first head height refers to the height of the electrode head of the original electrode. The original electrode is a component used for discharge when machining a workpiece.

[0020] Specifically, the original electrode blank and preset processing parameters are obtained, and the processing equipment (for example, a CNC machine tool) processes the original electrode blank according to the preset processing parameters to process the electrode head, thereby obtaining the original electrode. Then, the height of the electrode base in the original electrode is measured, or the height of the electrode head can be directly obtained from the preset processing parameters and determined as the first head height. Then, the original height corresponding to the original electrode blank is obtained, and the height of the electrode base is calculated by the original height and the first head height, and the calculated result is determined as the first base height.

[0021] In another embodiment, the original electrode is measured in three dimensions, that is, the original electrode is placed on a three-dimensional measuring instrument, and each key part of the original electrode is measured by contact detection, so as to obtain a first base height of the electrode base of the original electrode. Then, the height of the electrode head is calculated by the original height and the first base height, and the calculated result is determined as the first head height.

[0022] S20: After the original electrode performs a discharge operation, determine whether it meets the recycling conditions based on the first base height; when the first base height meets the recycling conditions, mill the original electrode based on the first head height to obtain an updated electrode blank.

[0023] Understandably, the recycling condition refers to the evaluation condition of whether the electrode can be used again, for example, whether the remaining height meets the threshold. The renewed electrode blank refers to the electrode blank obtained by removing the electrode head and processing the old electrode that meets the condition.

[0024] Specifically, the discharge operation is performed on the original electrode, that is, an electric spark is generated between the electrode head of the original electrode and the workpiece, so that the material on the surface of the workpiece is instantly melted or vaporized, thereby completing the discharge operation of the original electrode. Then, based on the first base height, it is determined whether the recycling condition is met, that is, the recycling condition is obtained, and the height threshold corresponding to the current direction in the recycling condition is determined, and the first base height and the height threshold corresponding to the current direction are compared. When the first base height is less than the height threshold, it is determined that the first base height of the electrode base does not meet the recycling condition. When the first base height is greater than or equal to the height threshold, it is determined that the first base height of the electrode base meets the recycling condition, and the electrode head in the original electrode is milled by the first head height, that is, the processing equipment mills the original electrode based on the height of the electrode head to remove the electrode head after the discharge operation is performed, and the electrode base of the original electrode can be obtained, and it is determined as an updated electrode blank. Among them, the height of the electrode base of the original electrode is the height of the updated electrode blank, and there is no need to measure it again.

[0025] S30: After performing a processing operation on the update electrode blank, an update electrode is obtained, and a second base height of an electrode base and a second head height of an electrode head of the update electrode are acquired.

[0026] Understandably, the updated electrode refers to a new electrode processed based on the updated electrode blank. The second base height refers to the height of the electrode base of the updated electrode. The second head height refers to the height of the electrode head of the updated electrode, which may be the same as or different from the first head height.

[0027] Specifically, a processing operation is performed on the update electrode, that is, preset processing parameters are obtained, and the processing equipment processes the update electrode according to the preset processing parameters to process the electrode head, thereby obtaining the update electrode. Then, the update electrode is subjected to three-dimensional detection, the update electrode is placed on a three-dimensional measuring instrument, and each key part of the update electrode is measured by contact detection, thereby obtaining the second base height of the electrode base of the update electrode. Then, the difference between the update blank height of the update electrode blank, that is, the first base height and the second base height of the electrode base of the update electrode is calculated, thereby obtaining the second head height of the electrode head of the update electrode.

[0028] In another embodiment, the second head height is directly obtained from the preset processing parameters, and then the difference between the updated blank height of the updated electrode blank, i.e., the first base height and the second head height in the preset processing parameters, is calculated to obtain the second base height of the electrode base of the updated electrode.

[0029] S40: After the renewal electrode performs a discharge operation, whether it meets the recycling conditions is determined based on the second base height; when the second base height meets the recycling conditions, the renewal electrode is milled based on the second head height to obtain a target electrode blank.

[0030] Further, a discharge operation is performed on the update electrode, that is, an electric spark is generated between the update electrode and the workpiece, so that the material on the surface of the workpiece is instantly melted or vaporized, thereby completing the discharge operation of the update electrode. Next, the recycling condition is obtained, and the second base height of the electrode base of the update electrode is compared with the height threshold in the recycling condition. When the second base height of the electrode base of the update electrode is less than the height threshold in the recycling condition, it is determined that the second base height of the electrode base of the update electrode does not meet the recycling condition, and a new electrode blank is replaced. When the second base height of the electrode base of the update electrode is greater than or equal to the height threshold in the recycling condition, it is determined that the second base height of the electrode base of the update electrode meets the recycling condition. The update electrode is milled based on the second head height, that is, the processing equipment mills the update electrode based on the height of the electrode head to remove the electrode head after the discharge operation is performed, so that the electrode base of the update electrode can be obtained and determined as the target electrode blank.

[0031] S50: After performing a machining operation on the target electrode blank, a target electrode is obtained, and a third base height of an electrode base of the target electrode is acquired.

[0032] S60: After the target electrode performs a discharge operation, judging whether it meets the recycling condition based on the third pedestal height, and replacing a new electrode blank when the third pedestal height does not meet the recycling condition.

[0033] It can be understood that the target electrode refers to a new electrode processed based on the target electrode blank. The third base height refers to the height of the electrode base of the target electrode.

[0034] Specifically, the preset processing parameters are obtained, and the processing equipment processes the target electrode blank according to the preset processing parameters, that is, the electrode head is processed according to the processing trajectory in the preset processing parameters, and the target electrode can be obtained. Then, the third base height of the electrode base of the target electrode is obtained, that is, based on the target blank height of the target electrode blank, that is, the second base height and the third head height in the preset processing parameters, the third base height of the electrode base of the target electrode is calculated. In another embodiment, the target electrode is transferred to a three-dimensional measuring instrument, and the height of the target electrode is measured by the three-dimensional measuring instrument, that is, the detection point is obtained, so as to measure each detection point of the updated electrode through contact detection, so as to obtain the third base height of the electrode base of the target electrode.

[0035] Furthermore, a discharge operation is performed on the target electrode, that is, an electric spark is generated between the target electrode and the workpiece, so that the material on the surface of the workpiece is instantly melted or vaporized, thereby completing the discharge operation of the target electrode. The recycling condition is obtained, and the height threshold in the recycling condition and the third base height of the electrode base of the target electrode are compared and processed. When the height threshold corresponding to the length direction in the recycling condition is less than or equal to the third base height, it is determined that the third base height meets the recycling condition. When the height threshold in the recycling condition is greater than the third base height, it is determined that the third base height does not meet the recycling condition. When the third base height does not meet the recycling condition, the target electrode is scrapped and replaced with a new electrode blank.

[0036] In the electrode recycling method of the present invention, the electrode recycling is judged by the height of the electrode base, the height of the electrode head and the recycling condition of the original electrode, thereby realizing the milling of the original electrode and realizing the processing of the updated electrode. By updating the height of the electrode base, the height of the electrode head and the recycling condition of the electrode, the number of measurements is reduced, the execution of the discharge operation is realized, the recycling of the electrode blank is realized, and the utilization rate of the electrode blank is improved, thereby realizing the replacement of the electrode blank and improving the efficiency of workpiece processing.

[0037] In one embodiment, the step S30, that is, obtaining the second base height of the electrode base and the second head height of the electrode head of the update electrode, includes: S301, obtaining an updated blank height of the updated electrode blank and a second head height of the electrode head in the preset processing parameters; the updated blank height is equal to the first base height of the original electrode.

[0038] S302, calculating a second base height of the electrode base of the updated electrode according to the updated blank height and the second head height; or S303: Perform three-dimensional measurement on the update electrode to obtain a second base height of the electrode base of the update electrode.

[0039] S304, obtaining an updated blank height of the updated electrode blank, and determining a second head height of the electrode head of the updated electrode according to the updated blank height and the second base height.

[0040] It can be understood that the second head height refers to the height of the electrode head of the new electrode set in advance.

[0041] Specifically, after obtaining the updated electrode, the updated blank height of the updated electrode blank and the second head height of the electrode head in the preset processing parameters are obtained, that is, the height of the updated electrode blank is the height of the electrode base of the original electrode, the first base height is directly obtained and determined as the updated blank height; the preset processing parameters are parsed to obtain the second head height of the electrode head. Then, the second base height of the electrode base of the updated electrode is calculated according to the updated blank height and the second head height, that is, the difference between the first base height and the second head height is calculated, and the second base height of the electrode base of the updated electrode can be obtained.

[0042] In another embodiment, the updated electrode is measured in three dimensions, that is, the detection point is obtained, and the original electrode is measured based on the detection point to obtain the point detection result, and the point detection result is compared with the preset evaluation condition. When the height value in the point detection result does not meet the preset evaluation condition, the height of the original electrode is corrected, that is, the electrode is reprocessed according to the difference between the point detection result and the preset evaluation condition, so that the electrode meets the high-precision processing requirements, and when the preset evaluation condition is met after reprocessing, the height of the electrode base is measured to obtain the second base height of the electrode base of the updated electrode. Then, the updated blank height of the updated electrode blank is obtained, and the second head height of the electrode head of the updated electrode is determined according to the updated blank height and the second base height, that is, the difference between the first base height and the second base height is calculated to obtain the second head height of the electrode head of the updated electrode.

[0043] That is, in this embodiment, by updating the updated blank height of the electrode blank and the second head height of the electrode head in the preset processing parameters, the second base height is calculated, the data is recycled, the number of measurements is reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved. By measuring the second base height and using the first base height and the second base height, the second head height is calculated and the accuracy of electrode processing is ensured.

[0044] In one embodiment, the step S303, that is, performing three-dimensional measurement on the update electrode to obtain a second base height of the electrode base of the update electrode, includes: S3031, detecting whether the electrode information of the updated electrode is correct. When the electrode information is correct, determining the detection point according to the electrode data, and performing three-dimensional detection on the detection point to obtain a detection report.

[0045] S3032, when the detection report indicates that the point value of the update electrode does not meet the numerical requirement, reprocess the update electrode to correct the electrode height.

[0046] S3033, when the point value after reprocessing meets the numerical requirement, measure and obtain the second base height of the electrode base of the updated electrode.

[0047] Understandably, electrode information refers to updating the electrode ID information. Detection point refers to the point information during three-dimensional detection. The detection report refers to whether the numerical information corresponding to the detection point meets the numerical requirements. Electrode data refers to the electronic information of the updated electrode, such as 3D images, point information, etc.

[0048] Specifically, after obtaining the update electrode, the update electrode is transferred to the three-dimensional detection device by a manipulator, and the electrode information of the update electrode is scanned by RFID, and the scanned electrode information is compared with the stored ID information to determine whether the electrode information of the update electrode is correct. When the scanned electrode information is different from the stored ID information, it is determined that the electrode information of the update electrode is incorrect. When the scanned electrode information is the same as the stored ID information, it is determined that the electrode information of the update electrode is correct, and then the electrode data of the update electrode is obtained, and the detection point is selected according to the electrode data, and the path simulation is performed through the selected detection point to determine whether interference occurs. When interference occurs, the detection point information of the interference position is obtained. When no interference occurs, the update electrode is subjected to three-dimensional detection based on the detection point, that is, the corresponding path execution information is generated by the detection point, and the detection point is measured by the path execution information to obtain the detection result. Obtain the numerical requirements, and evaluate whether the point values ​​in the test results meet the requirements based on the numerical requirements, so as to obtain a test report. When the test report indicates that the point values ​​of the updated electrode do not meet the numerical requirements, reprocess the updated electrode to correct the electrode height, that is, transfer the updated electrode back to the processing table, and perform height correction on the updated electrode based on the detected point value, so that the reprocessed point value meets the numerical requirements. Then, the height of the electrode base of the updated electrode is measured by a three-dimensional detector to obtain the second base height of the electrode base of the updated electrode. It can be understood that the updated electrode can be corrected multiple times so that the reprocessed point value meets the numerical requirements.

[0049] That is, in this embodiment, when the electrode information is correct, the detection point is determined, thereby realizing the measurement of the detection point and the output of the detection report, and then the updated electrode is reprocessed, the height is corrected, the accuracy of the electrode is improved, and the accuracy of the height of the second base is ensured.

[0050] In one embodiment, the step S50, that is, obtaining the third base height of the electrode base of the target electrode, includes: S501, obtaining a target blank height of the target electrode blank and a third head height of the electrode head in the preset processing parameters; the target blank height is equal to the second base height of the updated electrode.

[0051] S502, calculating a third base height of the electrode base of the target electrode according to the target blank height and the third head height; or S503, performing three-dimensional measurement on the electrode base of the target electrode to obtain a third base height.

[0052] It can be understood that the third head height refers to the height of the electrode head of the target electrode, and this value can be set in advance or calculated.

[0053] Specifically, after obtaining the target electrode, the target blank height of the target electrode blank and the third head height of the electrode head in the preset processing parameters are obtained, that is, the target electrode blank is obtained by updating the electrode and removing the electrode head, and the height of the electrode base of the updated electrode is the height of the target electrode blank. The second base height can be directly obtained and determined as the target blank height without measuring again; at the same time, the third head height of the electrode head is obtained from the preset processing parameters, and the difference between the target blank height of the target electrode blank and the third head height of the electrode head in the processing parameters is calculated, that is, the difference between the second base height and the third head height is calculated, and the third base height of the electrode base of the target electrode can be obtained. In another embodiment, the processed target electrode is subjected to three-dimensional detection, that is, the detection point information is obtained, and the target electrode is measured based on the detection point information to obtain the point detection result, and the point detection result is compared with the preset evaluation condition. When the height value in the point detection result does not meet the preset evaluation condition, the height of the target electrode is corrected, that is, the target electrode is reprocessed according to the difference between the point detection result and the preset evaluation condition, and when the target electrode meets the preset evaluation condition after reprocessing, the height of the electrode base is measured to obtain the third base height of the electrode base of the target electrode. When height correction is not required, the third base height of the electrode base of the target electrode is directly measured.

[0054] That is, in this embodiment, the third base height is calculated by the target blank height of the target electrode blank and the third head height of the electrode head in the preset processing parameters, and the data is recycled, the number of measurements is reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved. By measuring the third base height and using the second base height and the third base height, the third head height is calculated and the accuracy of electrode processing is ensured. In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, after step S60, that is, after the third base height does not meet the recycling condition, it also includes: S701, obtaining a first preset value, milling the third base height of the target electrode to the first preset value to obtain a circulating electrode blank, and rotating the milled circulating electrode blank to switch the initial height and initial length of the circulating electrode blank.

[0055] S702, determining whether the initial length of the recycled electrode blank meets the recycling condition, and when the initial length of the recycled electrode blank meets the recycling condition, performing a processing operation on the recycled electrode blank to obtain a recycled electrode.

[0056] S703, obtaining a fourth base height of the electrode base of the recycling electrode, and after performing a discharge operation on the recycling electrode, determining whether a recycling condition is met based on the fourth base height.

[0057] S704, when the fourth base height does not meet the recycling conditions, obtain the second preset value, mill the fourth base height of the recycling electrode to the second preset value, obtain a conversion electrode blank, and rotate the milled conversion electrode blank to switch the conversion height and initial width of the conversion electrode blank.

[0058] Understandably, the first preset value refers to the height to be retained in the direction when the height in the direction is insufficient. The second preset value refers to the height to be retained in the other direction when the height in the other direction is insufficient. The circulating electrode refers to an electrode processed based on the circulating electrode blank, that is, an electrode processed after the length is converted to the height. The converted height refers to the height remaining after the initial length is converted to the height and after discharge use and milling.

[0059] Specifically, after the third base height does not meet the recycling condition, a first preset value is obtained, and the processing equipment performs milling processing on the third base height of the target electrode based on the first preset value, so that the third base height of the target electrode is milled to the first preset value, and the target electrode after milling is determined as a recycling electrode blank. Then, the milled recycling electrode blank is rotated, that is, the recycling electrode blank is rotated 90 degrees along the X-axis direction, so that the initial height and initial length of the recycling electrode blank are switched. Then, it is determined whether the initial length of the recycling electrode blank meets the recycling condition, that is, the initial length of the recycling electrode blank is compared with the height threshold corresponding to the length direction in the recycling condition. When the initial length of the recycling electrode blank is less than the height threshold corresponding to the length direction in the recycling condition, it is determined that the initial length of the recycling electrode blank does not meet the recycling condition. When the initial length of the recycling electrode blank is greater than or equal to the height threshold corresponding to the length direction in the recycling condition, it is determined that the initial length of the recycling electrode blank meets the recycling condition. And perform processing operations on the circulating electrode blank, that is, obtain processing parameters, and the processing equipment processes the circulating electrode blank according to the preset processing parameters, that is, perform electrode head processing on the circulating electrode blank to obtain the circulating electrode.

[0060] Further, the fourth base height of the electrode base of the circulating electrode is obtained, that is, based on the initial length of the circulating electrode blank and the fourth head height of the electrode head in the preset processing parameters, the fourth base height of the electrode base of the circulating electrode is calculated. Alternatively, the circulating electrode is moved to a three-dimensional detector, and the height of the electrode base of the circulating electrode is measured by the three-dimensional detector to obtain the fourth base height of the electrode base of the circulating electrode. The discharge operation is performed on the circulating electrode, that is, electric sparks begin to be generated between the circulating electrode and the workpiece, so that the material on the surface of the workpiece melts or vaporizes instantly, thereby completing the discharge operation of the circulating electrode. Then, based on the fourth base height, it is determined whether the recycling condition is met, that is, the fourth base height is compared with the height threshold corresponding to the direction in the recycling condition, and when the fourth base height is greater than or equal to the height threshold corresponding to the direction in the recycling condition, it is determined that the fourth base height meets the recycling condition.

[0061] When the fourth base height is less than the height threshold corresponding to the direction in the recycling condition, it is determined that the fourth base height does not meet the recycling condition, then the second preset value is obtained, and the processing equipment performs milling processing on the circulating electrode based on the second preset value, so that the fourth base height of the circulating electrode is milled to the second preset value, and the milled circulating electrode is determined as the conversion electrode blank. Then, the conversion electrode blank is rotated, that is, flipped 90 degrees along the Y axis, so that the conversion height and initial width of the conversion electrode blank are switched.

[0062] That is, in this embodiment, the first preset value and the third base height are used to switch the initial height and initial length of the electrode, thereby achieving the acquisition of the circulating electrode and the discharge of the circulating electrode. The second preset value and the fourth base height are used to switch the conversion height and initial width of the electrode, thereby improving the utilization rate of the electrode.

[0063] In one embodiment, the step S703, i.e. obtaining the fourth base height of the electrode base of the circulation electrode, includes: S7031, obtaining the initial length of the circulating electrode blank and the fourth head height of the electrode head in the preset processing parameters.

[0064] S7032, calculating a fourth base height of the electrode base of the circulation electrode according to the initial length and the fourth head height; or S7033, performing three-dimensional measurement on the electrode base of the circulating electrode to obtain a fourth base height.

[0065] It can be understood that the fourth base height refers to the base height of cyclic electrode machining.

[0066] Specifically, after obtaining the circulating electrode blank, the initial length of the circulating electrode blank and the fourth head height of the electrode head in the preset processing parameters are obtained, that is, the initial length corresponding to the height direction after conversion is obtained, and the fourth head height of the electrode head is obtained from the preset processing parameters, and then, the difference between the initial length and the fourth head height is calculated to obtain the fourth base height of the electrode base of the circulating electrode. In another embodiment, the circulating electrode is transferred to a three-dimensional measuring instrument, and the height of the electrode base of the circulating electrode is measured by the three-dimensional measuring instrument, that is, the detection point information is obtained, and the circulating electrode is measured based on the detection point information to obtain the point detection result, and the point detection result is compared with the preset evaluation condition. When the height value in the point detection result does not meet the preset evaluation condition, the height of the circulating electrode is corrected, that is, it is reprocessed according to the difference between the point detection result and the preset evaluation condition, and when the circulating electrode meets the preset evaluation condition after reprocessing, the height of the electrode base is measured to obtain the fourth base height of the electrode base of the circulating electrode.

[0067] That is, in this embodiment, by converting the initial length of the height and the fourth head height, the fourth base height is calculated, the number of measurements is reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved. By performing three-dimensional measurement on the electrode base of the circulating electrode, the fourth base height is measured, ensuring the accuracy of the fourth base height.

[0068] In one embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, after step S704, that is, rotating the converted electrode blank after milling so that the conversion height and the initial width of the converted electrode blank are switched, the following further includes: S705 , when the initial width of the conversion electrode blank meets the recycling condition, after performing a processing operation on the conversion electrode blank, obtaining a fifth base height of the conversion electrode.

[0069] S706, after performing a discharge operation on the conversion electrode, determine whether it meets the recycling conditions based on the fifth base height, and when the fifth base height of the electrode base of the conversion electrode does not meet the recycling conditions, replace a new electrode blank.

[0070] It can be understood that the fifth pedestal height refers to the height of the electrode pedestal of the conversion electrode.

[0071] Specifically, after the conversion height and initial width of the conversion electrode blank are switched, it is determined whether the initial width of the conversion electrode blank meets the recycling condition, that is, the height threshold corresponding to the direction in the recycling condition is compared with the initial width of the conversion electrode blank. When the initial width is less than the height threshold, it is determined that the initial width of the conversion electrode blank does not meet the recycling condition. When the initial width is greater than or equal to the height threshold, it is determined that the initial width of the conversion electrode blank meets the recycling condition, and the preset processing parameters are obtained. The processing equipment performs a processing operation on the conversion electrode blank based on the preset processing parameters, that is, an electrode head is processed on the conversion electrode blank to obtain a conversion electrode. Further, the fifth base height of the conversion electrode is obtained, that is, based on the conversion blank height of the conversion electrode blank, that is, the initial width and the fifth head height of the electrode head in the preset processing parameters, the fifth base height of the electrode base of the conversion electrode is calculated. In another embodiment, the conversion electrode is transferred to a three-dimensional measurement, and the height of the electrode base of the conversion electrode is measured by a three-dimensional measuring instrument to obtain the fifth base height of the electrode base of the conversion electrode. Next, a discharge operation is performed on the conversion electrode, that is, an electric spark is generated between the conversion electrode and the workpiece, so that the material on the surface of the workpiece is instantly melted or vaporized, thereby completing the discharge operation of the conversion electrode. Then, based on the fifth base height, it is determined whether the recycling condition is met, that is, the fifth base height is compared with the height threshold corresponding to the direction in the recycling condition. When the fifth base height is greater than or equal to the height threshold, it is determined that the fifth base height of the conversion electrode meets the recycling condition. When the fifth base height is less than the height threshold, it is determined that the fifth base height of the conversion electrode does not meet the recycling condition, and the conversion electrode is scrapped and replaced with a new electrode blank.

[0072] That is, in this embodiment, by performing a processing operation on the conversion electrode blank when the initial width meets the recycling condition, the conversion electrode is processed, thereby realizing the calculation or measurement of the fifth base height. Based on the fifth base height, it is judged whether the recycling condition is met, and the electrode base of the conversion electrode is evaluated, thereby realizing the replacement of the electrode blank.
