Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wire electrical discharge machining, and particularly relates to a three-axis numerical control spindle head for an automatic wire threading numerically controlled reciprocating wire electrical discharge machining machine tool. Background Art

[0002] Numerical control reciprocating wire electrical discharge machining machine tools (hereinafter referred to as: wire electrical discharge machining machine tools) are widely used as metal cutting processing equipment in the processing of precision and complex-shaped parts in manufacturing industries such as molds, aerospace, automobiles, energy, precision instruments, medical devices, and electronic products, and play an important role in industrial production. Wire electrical discharge machining uses a continuously moving thin metal wire (referred to as an electrode wire) as an electrode to perform pulsed spark discharge on the workpiece to erode metal and cut into shape.

[0003] The mechanical system of a wire electrical discharge machining machine tool consists of a machine tool bed, a coordinate worktable, a wire feeding mechanism, a wire frame mechanism, a taper mechanism, a lubrication system, etc. Among them, the wire feeding mechanism refers to the mechanism used to drive the electrode wire to perform reciprocating motion, and the wire frame mechanism refers to the mechanism used to support the electrode wire. The wire frame mechanism is divided into a single-column cantilever type and a double-column gantry type. The single-column cantilever type is further divided into an upper wire arm and a lower wire arm. Generally, the lower wire arm is fixed, and the upper wire arm can be lifted and moved (Z-axis movement). The "spindle head" in the numerical control spindle head of this application is the upper wire arm that can be lifted and moved (Z-axis movement), and "numerical control" means that the lifting and movement (Z-axis movement) of the upper wire arm can be digitally controlled through a servo motor. From a functional perspective, the numerical control spindle head of a wire electrical discharge machining machine tool is an upper wire arm mechanism used to install an upper wire guide nozzle, an upper working fluid nozzle, and an upper wire guide pulley. This mechanism usually has a Z-axis movement mechanism, which can drive the upper wire guide nozzle, the upper working fluid nozzle, and the upper wire guide pulley to perform numerically controlled lifting and movement along the Z-axis.

[0004] Wire threading is required both before and during wire electrical discharge machining. Currently, the vast majority of wire electrical discharge machining machine tools can only use manual wire threading. Manual wire threading is highly specialized, requires professional personnel to operate, and has a complex process, high requirements, a large workload, and low efficiency. For this reason, in recent years, technicians in this field have been working hard to research and develop fully automatic wire threading devices and methods applicable to wire electrical discharge machining machine tools. Fully automatic wire threading is a complex and delicate system project in the technical field of wire electrical discharge machining, with high process requirements, many difficulties, and great technical challenges. It has long been a technical problem in this field. Among them, how the spindle head of a wire electrical discharge machining machine tool meets the control requirements of the relevant automatic wire threading mechanism for movement in the Z-axis direction during automatic wire threading is one of the technical difficulties that need to be overcome.

[0005] The existing reciprocating wire EDM machine tool is only equipped with a Z-axis, which can drive the upper wire guiding mechanism to move in the Z-axis direction during the wire threading process, but it cannot meet the control requirements of the machine tool's automatic wire threading for the relevant automatic wire threading mechanism's movement in the Z-axis direction. To solve this technical problem, the present invention designs a three-axis numerically controlled spindle head for an automatic wire threading reciprocating wire EDM machine tool. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention provides a three-axis numerically controlled spindle head for an automatic wire threading CNC EDM machine tool, aiming to solve the problem that the existing spindle head movement mechanism cannot meet the control requirements of the machine tool's automatic wire threading for the relevant automatic wire threading mechanism's movement in the Z-axis direction.

The W1-axis servo drive mechanism is drivingly connected to the W1-axis carriage and can drive the W1-axis carriage to make a digital linear motion in the Z direction between the designed strokes on the Z-axis carriage.

[0016] The W2-axis motion mechanism includes a W2-axis guide rail, a first W2-axis slider, a second W2-axis slider, a first W2-axis carriage, a second W2-axis carriage, a tension detector, a moving guide wheel, a fixed guide wheel, a moving guide wheel seat, a fixed guide wheel seat, and a W2-axis servo drive mechanism, where:

[0017] The W2-axis guide rail is fixedly installed on the Z-axis carriage seat.

Therefore, the design of the present invention for the tension control of the electrode wire in the cutting working section is more direct and accurate.

[0041] 4. The W2-axis motion mechanism of the present invention can not only better control the tension of the electrode wire during the cutting process of the machine tool, but also can set different tension values according to the requirements of automatic wire threading during the automatic wire threading process to control the tension of the electrode wire, and can cooperate with the wire storage cylinder and the wire feeding mechanism of the machine tool to complete the automatic wire winding task of the electrode wire.

[0042] 5.

[0072] The W2-axis servo drive mechanism is positioned and installed on the Z-axis carriage seat 1, the W2-axis servo drive mechanism is drivingly connected to the first carriage 9 of the W2 axis, and can drive the first carriage 9 of the W2 axis and drive the second carriage 10 of the W2 axis to perform digital linear motion in the Z direction through the tension detector 11. The motion range of the first carriage 9 of the W2 axis is between the highest position of the motion of the carriage 4 of the W1 axis in the Z direction and the upper limit position of the first carriage 9 of the W2 axis. In this embodiment, the W2-axis servo drive mechanism is composed of a W2-axis lead screw nut pair and a W2-axis servo motor 16 connected. The W2-axis lead screw nut pair is composed of a W2-axis lead screw 36 and a W2-axis nut 37 (see Figure 2 ), the motor shaft of the W2-axis servo motor 16 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the W2-axis lead screw 36 (see Figure 2 ), the axis of the motor shaft of the W2-axis servo motor 16 is parallel to the Z direction, the W2-axis nut 37 is matched with the W2-axis lead screw 36, and the W2-axis nut 37 is fixedly connected to the first carriage 9 of the W2 axis (see Figure 8 , Figure 8The W2-axis nut 37 is fixedly connected to the first W2-axis carriage 9 through a cross bar and a longitudinal bar. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Its essence is that the W2-axis nut 37 and the first W2-axis carriage 9 are fixedly connected.

[0073] In the working state, the electrode wire segment that bypasses the moving guide wheel 12 and descends along the Z direction and passes through the wire guide hole of the wire guide tube 19 to the wire nozzle on the lower wire arm of the machine tool is the cutting working segment of the electrode wire 21 (see Figure 2 and Figure 8 ).

[0074] In the working state, the gravity of the second W2-axis slider 8, the second W2-axis carriage 10, the moving guide wheel seat 14, the moving guide wheel 12 and the tension of the electrode wire 21 acting on the moving guide wheel 12 act vertically downward along the Z direction on the lower acting end 18 of the tension detector 11 (see Figure 8 ). The W2-axis servo drive mechanism acts vertically upward along the Z direction on the upper acting end 17 of the tension detector 11 through the pulling force of the first W2-axis carriage 9 (see Figure 8 ). The machine tool control system can realize the constant tension control of the electrode wire 21 through the servo control of driving the first W2-axis carriage 9 and the moving guide wheel 12 by the W2-axis according to the tension data of the electrode wire 21 measured by the tension detector 11, and the tension control of the electrode wire 21 directly acts on the cutting working segment of the electrode wire 21 (see Figure 8 ). The specific process of the constant tension control of the electrode wire 21 is: Refer to Figure 8As shown in the figure, the constant tension control value range of the electrode wire 21 should be set in the machine tool control system in advance. During operation, the machine tool control system detects the currently measured tension value through the tension detector 11, then subtracts the gravity of the second slider 8 of the W2 axis, the second carriage 10 of the W2 axis, the moving guide wheel seat 14, and the moving guide wheel 12 from the measured tension value, and divides the result by 2 to obtain the tension of the electrode wire 21 in the cutting working section. Then, the calculated tension of the electrode wire 21 is compared with the set constant tension control value range. When the tension of the electrode wire 21 falls within the constant tension control value range, it remains unchanged; when the tension of the electrode wire 21 is greater than the upper limit value of the constant tension control, the machine tool control system starts the reverse rotation of the servo motor 16 of the W2 axis. The nut 37 of the W2 axis drives the first carriage 9 of the W2 axis and the first slider 7 of the W2 axis to descend. Due to the gravity of the second slider 8 of the W2 axis, the second carriage 10 of the W2 axis, the moving guide wheel seat 14, and the moving guide wheel 12, the second slider 8 of the W2 axis, the second carriage 10 of the W2 axis, the moving guide wheel seat 14, and the moving guide wheel 12 as a whole descend, and the tension of the electrode wire 21 decreases. Detection, calculation, and comparison are performed again until the tension of the electrode wire 21 falls within the constant tension control value range and then stops; when the tension of the electrode wire 21 is less than the lower limit value of the constant tension control, the machine tool control system starts the forward rotation of the servo motor 16 of the W2 axis. The nut 37 of the W2 axis drives the first carriage 9 of the W2 axis and the first slider 7 of the W2 axis to ascend, and drives the second slider 8 of the W2 axis, the second carriage 10 of the W2 axis, the moving guide wheel seat 14, and the moving guide wheel 12 as a whole to ascend through the upper acting end 17, the tension detector 11, and the lower acting end 18. The tension of the electrode wire 21 increases. Detection, calculation, and comparison are performed again until the tension of the electrode wire 21 falls within the constant tension control value range and then stops. Thus, it can be seen that by using the W2 axis movement mechanism of the present invention, the machine tool control system can not only achieve the constant tension control of the electrode wire 21 by servo control of driving the first carriage 9 of the W2 axis and the moving guide wheel 12 through the W2 axis according to the tension data of the electrode wire 21 measured by the tension detector 11, but also directly act on the cutting working section of the electrode wire 21 for the tension control of the electrode wire 21. Therefore, the tension control of the electrode wire in the cutting working section is more direct and accurate.
