[0002] In the field of electrode processing, especially in the manufacturing process of precision electronic components, the quality of the electrode is directly related to the performance and reliability of the final product. However, some electrodes often encounter a series of problems after processing, such as center position deviation, substandard parallelism, and significant tilt (commonly known as "minute tilt"), which not only affect the accuracy of the electrode, but also may lead to subsequent assembly difficulties and reduced product quality.

[0003] Traditional solutions rely on manual adjustment of the flattened electrode teeth on the EDM (Electro-Discharge Machining) head. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the adjustment accuracy is limited by the operator's experience and skill level, and it is difficult to ensure that each adjustment can reach the ideal state. In addition, frequent manual adjustments also increase the risk of electrode damage and increase production costs. An efficient and precise solution needs to be designed to quickly locate the exact center of the electrode and correct its parallelism. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention is described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1-5 The present invention provides an electrode holder center leveler, which aims to ensure the accurate positioning and parallelism of the electrode holder on the workbench through precise adjustment and correction, thereby improving the processing accuracy and efficiency. The following is a detailed description of the specific structure and working principle of the present invention.

[0021] The electrode holder center leveler of the present invention mainly comprises a base body 1, a correction bracket assembly 2, a height adjustment assembly 3 and a parallelism correction assembly 4. These assemblies work together to achieve accurate correction and parallelism adjustment of the electrode holder.

[0022] The base body 1 is the basic part of the entire leveler, and its structure is stable and can withstand various forces and vibrations during the processing. The base body 1 includes a base 11 at the bottom and an L-shaped platform 12 at the top. The base 11 is designed with mounting holes 13, which match the corresponding holes on the machine tool workbench, and the base body 1 is firmly fixed to the machine tool workbench by bolts or other fasteners. A positioning groove is provided on the side of the vertical end of the L-shaped platform 12. This positioning groove is used to place and preliminarily position the electrode holder to ensure that the electrode holder has a relatively fixed position in both the horizontal and vertical directions, providing a basis for subsequent correction.

[0023] The correction bracket assembly 2 is one of the key parts of the leveler, which is responsible for supporting and correcting the electrode holder. The correction bracket assembly 2 includes a correction bracket 21, a center correction block 22 and a locking chuck 23. The correction bracket 21 is connected to the base body 1 through the height adjustment assembly 3, and the height can be adjusted as needed. On the correction bracket 21, multiple center correction blocks 22 are connected by springs. These center correction blocks 22 are evenly distributed and are used to support and correct the electrode holder at multiple points. A locking chuck 23 is provided on each center correction block 22. These locking chucks 23 work with the locking cylinder 24 through a piston rod, a connecting piece (such as a connecting rod, a rocker arm, etc.) and a fixing piece (such as a screw, a nut, etc.), and the clamping and release of the electrode holder are achieved through the telescopic action of the cylinder. The locking cylinder 24 is arranged inside the base body 1. The working pressure of the cylinder can be adjusted through the air pressure regulating valve, thereby controlling the size of the clamping force to ensure that the electrode holder is firmly clamped and will not be damaged by excessive clamping force.

[0024] The height adjustment assembly 3 is the part of the leveler used to adjust the height of the correction bracket assembly 2. It includes a height adjustment plate 33, a lead screw 32 and a handwheel 31. The height adjustment plate 33 is fixed on the correction bracket assembly 2, and a certain gap is maintained between the height adjustment plate 33 and the base body 1 to facilitate height adjustment. The lead screw 32 passes through the height adjustment plate 33 and cooperates with the threaded hole inside the base body 1. By rotating the lead screw 32, the correction bracket assembly 2 can be moved up and down in the vertical direction. By rotating the handwheel 31, the height of the correction bracket assembly 2 can be accurately adjusted until the desired correction position is reached. In this embodiment, the handwheel 31 is fixed to the top of the lead screw 32, which is convenient for the operator to perform manual adjustment. The lead screw 32 can also be rotated by an electric device such as a motor to perform more precise adjustment.

[0025] The parallelism correction component 4 is a part used to detect and correct the parallelism of the electrode holder. It includes a parallelism correction plate 41, a parallelism detection sensor 42 and an adjustment rod 43. The parallelism correction plate 41 is connected to the correction bracket assembly 2 and maintains a certain contact or proximity distance with the electrode holder. The parallelism detection sensor 42 is arranged on the parallelism correction plate 41 and is used to monitor the parallelism deviation of the electrode holder in real time. This sensor can be a laser sensor, a capacitive sensor or other types of non-contact sensors, which can accurately measure the slight deviation of the electrode holder in the horizontal direction. When the deviation is detected, the operator can fine-tune the electrode holder through the adjustment rod 43 until the required parallelism requirement is reached. The adjustment rod 43 can be a manually operated screw rod, a lever or other form of adjustment mechanism, which can realize the precise adjustment of the electrode holder in the horizontal direction. The parallelism detection sensor 42 is connected to the control system for easy monitoring of distance data on the display.

[0026] In actual use, the working process of the electrode holder center leveler of the present invention is as follows: First, the base body 1 is fixed on the machine tool workbench through the mounting hole 13 to ensure that the base body 1 is stable and immovable. Then, the electrode holder is placed in the positioning groove of the L-shaped platform 12 to preliminarily determine its position.

[0027] Next, the height of the correction bracket assembly 2 is adjusted by the height adjustment assembly 3. The operator rotates the hand wheel 31 to drive the lead screw 32 to rotate and move up and down, thereby adjusting the overall height of the correction bracket assembly 2. During the adjustment process, it can be determined by observation or measurement whether the correction bracket assembly 2 reaches the desired height position.

[0028] When the height of the correction bracket assembly 2 is adjusted, the locking cylinder 24 starts to work. The piston rod of the cylinder extends, pushing the locking chuck 23 to approach the electrode holder and clamp it. In this process, the working pressure of the cylinder can be adjusted by the air pressure regulating valve to control the size of the clamping force. After ensuring that the electrode holder is firmly clamped, the next step of parallelism correction can be carried out.

[0029] Parallelism correction is mainly completed by the parallelism correction component 4. The parallelism detection sensor 42 monitors the parallelism deviation of the electrode holder in real time and transmits the data to the control system or the operator. When the deviation is detected, the operator can fine-tune the electrode holder through the adjustment rod 43. The adjustment rod 43 can be a manually operated screw rod or other form of adjustment mechanism, which changes the position of the electrode holder by rotating or pushing and pulling until the required parallelism requirement is achieved.

[0030] During the calibration process, it is important to ensure that the electrode holder is positioned accurately and reliably. To this end, a positioning pin hole is provided on the base body 1 to cooperate with the positioning pin of the electrode holder. A positioning pin is provided between the positioning pin hole and the positioning hole of the electrode holder, and the electrode holder is accurately positioned on the base body 1 through the positioning pin. At the same time, an elastic positioning pad is also provided between the positioning pin and the positioning pin hole. This elastic positioning pad can absorb vibration and impact during the processing process to ensure that the positioning of the electrode holder is stable and reliable.

[0031] In addition, in order to ensure the accuracy and stability of the correction, the present invention also takes some additional measures. For example, in the height adjustment assembly 3, the screw 32 and the height adjustment plate 33 are matched with high-precision threads to ensure that there will be no shaking or deviation when adjusting the height. At the same time, the design of the hand wheel 31 also takes into account the convenience and accuracy of operation, so that the operator can easily rotate the hand wheel and make fine adjustments.

[0032] In the parallelism correction assembly 4, the design of the parallelism correction plate 41 has also been carefully considered. It is made of high-strength, high-precision materials, and can withstand various forces and vibrations during the processing while maintaining the stability of its shape and position. The selection of the parallelism detection sensor 42 has also been strictly screened and tested to ensure that it can accurately measure the parallelism deviation of the electrode holder.

[0033] In addition, the present invention also takes into account the diversity of electrode holders and the requirements of different specifications. Therefore, modular and adjustable structures are adopted in the design of the base body 1 and the correction bracket assembly 2. This enables the operator to flexibly adjust the structure and parameters of the leveler according to different electrode holder specifications and requirements to adapt to different processing tasks and requirements.

[0034] In the specific implementation process, the present invention has also made some optimizations and improvements. For example, in the design of the locking cylinder 24, a double-acting cylinder structure is adopted, so that the cylinder can extend to clamp the electrode holder and retract to release the electrode holder. This design improves the flexibility and reliability of the cylinder, and also facilitates the operation and maintenance of the operator.

[0035] In addition, safety devices such as protective covers or protective plates are provided at the edge of the parallel correction plate 41. These safety devices can prevent the operator from accidentally touching the parallel correction plate 41 or the adjustment rod 43 and other components during the adjustment process and causing injuries. At the same time, they can also protect these components from being eroded and damaged by impurities such as splashes or debris during the processing.

[0036] In addition, the present invention also takes into account the maintenance and care of the leveler. Therefore, a structural design that is easy to disassemble and clean is adopted between the various components of the leveler. This allows operators to easily disassemble and clean various components during maintenance and care, ensuring the long-term stable operation and accuracy of the leveler.

[0037] In summary, the electrode holder center leveler of the present invention has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, high precision, good stability, etc. It can effectively solve the problems and shortcomings existing in the prior art, improve processing accuracy and efficiency, and reduce production costs and labor intensity. At the same time, it also has good adaptability and scalability, can adapt to different electrode holder specifications and requirements, and provides a new and effective solution for the machining industry.

[0038] In the specific implementation process, the electrode holder center leveler of the present invention can be further optimized and improved according to actual needs. For example, an automated control system and sensor technology can be introduced to realize automatic detection and correction of the electrode holder; more advanced materials and manufacturing processes can be used to improve the durability and reliability of the leveler; some auxiliary functional components, such as cooling devices, lubrication devices, etc., can also be added to improve processing quality and efficiency. These optimizations and improvements will make the electrode holder center leveler of the present invention more perfect.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
