Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of machining, and particularly relates to a machining method for precision parts in a communication connector mold. Background Art

[0002] In actual electrical discharge machining, the shape of the electrode head is actually copied onto the part, so as to form a reverse shape on the part that is the same as the shape of the electrode head. Theoretically speaking, the shape of the part machined is the same as the shape of the electrode head. Therefore, the shape, shape accuracy, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish of the machined electrode head directly determine the shape, shape accuracy, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality of the electrical discharge machining position on the machined part. Therefore, in order to electrically discharge machine high-quality precision parts, the manufacturing accuracy and quality of the electrode are particularly important. Especially when machining a smaller shape on a precision part, since the shape of the electrode head is also small, in addition to reasonable electrical discharge machining parameters, high-quality precision electrodes are also required to improve the replication accuracy of the precision shape of the part.

[0003] As Figure 1 shown, the part 100 is a core precision part used in a high-speed communication connector mold. The characteristics of this part are small shape, high geometric accuracy, high consistency requirements, and very strict machining requirements. Its forming part has part shape A101, part shape B102, part shape C103, part shape D104, and part shape E105. The part shape A has arcs with R0.100mm and R0.063mm, and the minimum width is 0.126mm; the part shape A and the part shape B are bosses and are 0.131mm apart. The part shape C is a C-shaped chamfer of 0.05mm. The part shape D is a sharp angle with R0.015mm. The part shape E is a bottom surface platform. Currently, these shapes can only be completed by electrical discharge machining with an electrode head of the corresponding same shape.

[0004] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, it is the electrode head 200 used for machining the part 100. The electrode head 200 has an electrode shape A201 that matches the part shape A, an electrode shape B202 that matches the part shape B, an electrode shape C203 that matches the part shape C, an electrode shape D204 that matches the part shape D, and an electrode shape E205 that matches the part shape E. Simply put, the forming part of the electrode head 200 is a reverse shape that is the same as the forming part shape of the part 100. The electrode shape B and the electrode shape C are both grooves; currently, the machining and manufacturing method of the electrode head 200 can only be completed by milling with a high-speed CNC milling center (abbreviation: CNC).

[0005] In the electrode processing and manufacturing process, when CNC mills this kind of electrode head 200 with many shapes and relatively small size, it can only use expensive small carbide milling cutters with a diameter of less than or equal to ø0.15mm. Such small milling cutters wear quickly, have a short service life, need to be replaced frequently, are difficult to mill and take a long time, and the shape and size of the milled electrode head are difficult to guarantee. In particular, the C angle of the electrode shape C is very difficult to control and needs to be repeatedly trimmed, and the electrode manufacturing cost is very high. In addition, since the electrode head size cannot be fully detected, the electrode quality is also difficult to fully guarantee, and electrode quality problems can only be discovered during the EDM process.

[0006] In the part processing link, when the EDM processes the part 100, the electrode head 200 and the discharge area of the part 100 form a closed inner cavity, and the carbon particles generated by the electric corrosion are difficult to discharge. The high concentration of regional carbon particles causes serious damage to the edges of the part shapes A and B, resulting in the overall shape contour of the part 100 not being clear enough, and the arcs R0.100mm and R0.063mm on the part shape A are too large and have poor verticality, the C angle of the part shape C is irregular and has a large difference, and the sharp angle of the part shape D is R0.05~R0.07mm; in this case, the EDM can only repeatedly measure and correct the part 100, and the electrode head also needs to be CNC repaired according to the actual EDM processing situation. The EDM part correction process is inefficient, the scrap rate is high, and the quality is not controlled. The processed parts can only be barely tried and cannot meet the final requirements of the product. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for processing precision parts in a communication connector mold to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0011] Step C: Using the first electrode head, start from the supporting bottom surface of the part and perform spiral conical shrinking electro-discharge machining upward along the Z-axis.

[0014] As an optional implementation manner of the above technical solution, after the pre-machining of the part is completed, measure the first actual side margin of the first intermediate boss and the second actual side margin of the first edge boss, and adjust the electro-discharge machining parameters for deviation compensation according to the difference between the first actual side margin and the first theoretical side margin of the first intermediate boss and the difference between the second actual side margin and the second theoretical side margin of the first edge boss.

[0015] As an optional implementation manner of the above technical solution, the first theoretical side margin of the first intermediate boss is the projection distance of the first transition surface on the Z-direction horizontal plane plus the avoidance distance between the fourth intermediate boss and the first electrode head; the second theoretical side margin of the first edge boss is the projection distance of the second transition surface on the Z-direction horizontal plane.

[0016] As an optional implementation manner of the above technical solution, both the first electrode head and the second electrode head are used electrodes.

[0018] As an alternative embodiment of the above technical solution, the material of the tool electrode is tungsten copper or chromium copper.

[0019] As an alternative embodiment of the above technical solution, the processing method of the tool electrode includes: using a precision grinding machine to process all the external dimensions of the tool electrode on the blank electrode, and ensuring the parallelism and perpendicularity between surfaces; then using a precision slow wire cutting machine to complete the shape processing of the first electrode head and the second electrode head by adopting a cutting-two-and-repairing-six processing technology.

[0020] As an alternative embodiment of the above technical solution, before pre-processing the part, a precision grinding machine is used to process all the external dimensions of the part, and a rough machining allowance is left on the machining top surface of the part.

Detailed implementation mode

[0041] As shown in Figures 4 - 14 the figure, this embodiment provides a processing method for precision parts in a communication connector mold, including the following steps:

[0042] Step 1: Processing of the first electrode head 301. The shape of the part 100 is as shown in Figure 1 the figure. First, a first edge through hole 303 and a first middle through hole 302 that match the part shape A101 and the part shape B102 are processed on an old electrode head, and the first middle through hole 302 is enlarged by 0.015 mm as a whole relative to the part shape B102; secondly, the shape corresponding to the part shape C103 on the old electrode head is cancelled, and both the first edge through hole 303 and the first middle through hole 302 on the old electrode head are through holes penetrating the old electrode head, and the first electrode head 301 is obtained, as shown in Figure 4 the figure.

[0043] Step 2: Processing of the second electrode head 304. A second edge through hole 306 and a second middle through hole 305 that match the part shape A101 and the part shape B102 are processed on another old electrode head, and the second edge through hole 306 is enlarged by 0.01 mm as a whole relative to the part shape A101. Both the second edge through hole 306 and the second middle through hole 305 on the old electrode head are through holes penetrating the old electrode head, and then the second electrode head 304 is obtained, as shown in Figure 5 the figure.

[0044] Step 3: Dock the long sides of the above-mentioned first electrode head 301 and the second electrode head 304 together. Array the first edge through hole 303 and the first middle through hole 302 along the width direction of the first electrode head 301, and array the second edge through hole 306 and the second middle through hole 305 along the width direction of the second electrode head 304. The array distance and number are determined according to the actual electrical discharge machining requirements; then, a lateral electrode clamping position 309 is added to one side of the long side of the first electrode head 301 after the array is completed, and finally a side-bound tool electrode 300 with two different electrode heads is formed, as shown in Figure 6 the figure.

[0045] Step 4: Determine the discharge gap between the first electrode head 301 and the second electrode head 304. The discharge gap of the first electrode head 301 is determined by the projected distance of the part shape B102 on the Z-plane horizontal and the loss of the edge of the first electrode head 301 during the electrical discharge machining process; assuming the projected distance of the part shape B102 on the Z-plane horizontal is W, and the loss of the edge of the first electrode head 301 during the electrical discharge machining process is R, then the discharge gap of the first electrode head 301 is W - R. In this embodiment, the projected distance W of the part shape B102 on the Z-plane horizontal = 0.05 mm, and the loss R of the edge of the first electrode head 301 during the electrical discharge machining process = 0.01 mm, then the discharge gap of the first electrode head 301 is 0.05 - 0.01 = 0.04 mm.

[0046] The discharge gap of the second electrode head 304 is determined by the required size of the sharp angle 116 at the part shape D104 on the part 100, and its purpose is to avoid damage to the edge of the electrode head 200 caused by a large amount of flat movement during electrical discharge machining, thus affecting the control of the size of the sharp angle 116.

[0047] In this embodiment, the required size of the sharp angle 116 of the shape 4 on the part 100 is R0.015 max, then the discharge gap of the second electrode head 304 is 0.01 mm.

[0048] Step 5: Machining of the tool electrode 300. The overall material of the tool electrode 300 is selected as tungsten copper or chromium copper; first, all the external dimensions of the tool electrode 300 are accurately machined by a precision grinding machine, and the parallelism and perpendicularity between surfaces are ensured; then, the processing of the tool electrode 300 is completed by a precision slow wire cutting machine using the processing technology of cutting two and trimming six (coarse cutting two passes, fine trimming six passes); the reduction amount of the precision slow wire cutting for the first electrode head 301 and the second electrode head 304 is equal to the corresponding discharge gap in Step 4, the tolerance is controlled at 0 to 0.005 mm, and the surface is controlled at Ra0.15 to Ra0.20.

[0049] Step 6: Processing of the part 100. All the external dimensions of the part 100 are accurately machined by a precision grinding machine; when the grinding machine processes the top surface of the part 100, a rough machining allowance 117 of 0.03 mm needs to be left. The part 100 has an electrical discharge machining part 118, as Figure 7 shown.

[0050] The main purpose of leaving the allowance is to solve the problem of explosion damage to the edges of the part shape A101 and the part shape B102 on the part 100 during the electrical discharge machining process.

[0051] Step 7: Install the tool electrode 300 and the part 100 on the electrical discharge machine table.

[0052] Step 8 (Step A): As Figure 13, first, use the first electrode tip 301 on the tool electrode 300 to vertically move downward along the Z-axis and adopt a machining method without translation to pre-machine the part 100 to a depth of 0.02 mm, so that a first intermediate boss 106 and a first edge boss 107 are formed on the part 100, obtaining the shape of the part 100 as shown in Figure 8 ; then remove the part 100 from the machine table, measure the first actual side allowance 307 of the first intermediate boss 106 and the second actual side allowance 308 of the first edge boss 107, and adjust the electric discharge machining parameters for deviation compensation according to the difference between the first actual side allowance 307 of the first intermediate boss 106 and the first theoretical side allowance, and the difference between the second actual side allowance 308 of the first edge boss 107 and the second theoretical side allowance, so that the part 100 achieves the optimal machining effect. This provides a guarantee for further machining quality and also avoids the scrapping of the part 100 caused by different factors.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the first theoretical side allowance of the first intermediate boss 106 is the projection distance of the first transition surface 112 on the Z-direction horizontal plane plus the avoidance distance of 0.015 mm between the fourth intermediate boss 115 and the first electrode tip 301; the second theoretical side allowance of the first edge boss 107 is the projection distance of the second transition surface 114 on the Z-direction horizontal plane.

[0054] Step 9 (Step B): According to the optimal electric discharge machining data obtained after the electric discharge pre-machining in Step 8, continue to use the first electrode tip 301 on the tool electrode 300 to vertically move downward along the Z-axis to perform further electric discharge machining on the part 100. At the same time, adopt a circular translation machining method to machine the support bottom surface 108 of the part 100. On the basis of the first intermediate boss 106 and the first edge boss 107, a second intermediate boss 109 and a second edge boss 110 are formed on the support bottom surface 108, obtaining the shape of the part 100 as shown in Figure 9 ;

[0055] Step 10 (Step C): As shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14 , immediately following Step 9, let the first electrode tip 301 on the tool electrode 300 perform spiral taper reduction electric discharge machining upward along the Z-axis from the bottom surface 5 of the part 100, which will machine the second intermediate boss 109 into a third intermediate boss 111 and a first transition surface 112, and machine the second edge boss 110 into a third edge boss 113 and a second transition surface 114. The third intermediate boss 111 and the support bottom surface 108 are transitioned through the first transition surface 112, and the third edge boss 113 and the support bottom surface 108 are transitioned through the second transition surface 114, obtaining the shape of the part 100 as shown in Figure 10 ;

[0056] As shown in Figure 13As shown in the figure, α is the tilt angle, β is the helix angle, H is the final EDM height, W is the maximum horizontal movement of EDM, △h is the EDM height for one turn of the helix angle β rising spirally following the tilt angle α, and △w is the horizontal movement of EDM for △h when the helix angle β rises spirally following the tilt angle α; △w is also the reduction of W, that is, as △h rises, △w gradually expands and W gradually shrinks until △w = W, and then this section of EDM is completed. The magnitude of the helix angle β determines the inclination of the spiral. The smaller the helix angle β, the smaller △h and △w, the better the EDM effect, and the higher the shape replication accuracy and approximation. By reasonably controlling the value of the helix angle β, the ideal EDM effect can be achieved. Above, the current IP in EDM is set to start machining from 0.4A and end at 0.1A, and the corresponding surface roughness is set to start machining from Ra0.80 and end at Ra0.16.

[0057] Step 11 (Step D): Use the second electrode head 304 on the tool electrode 300 to machine vertically downward along the Z-axis in a circular translation machining mode to the support bottom surface 108 on the part 100, machine the third intermediate boss 111 into the fourth intermediate boss 115, and remove the first transition surface 112, so that a sharp angle 116 is formed between the fourth intermediate boss 115 and the support bottom surface 108, retain the third edge boss 113 and the second transition surface 114, and complete the EDM of the part shape B102 and the part shape B102 on the part 100, and obtain the shape of the part 100 as Figure 11 shown.

[0058] Step 12: As Figure 12 shown, use the planar electrode 310 to perform EDM removal machining on the rough machining allowance 117 on the part 100. The part shape A101 corresponds to the third edge boss 113, the part shape B102 corresponds to the fourth intermediate boss 115, the part shape C103 corresponds to the second transition surface 114, the part shape D104 corresponds to the sharp angle 116 between the fourth intermediate boss 115 and the support bottom surface 108, and the part shape E105 corresponds to the support bottom surface 108, thereby completing the machining of the core precision part 100 in the high-speed communication connector mold.

[0059] In terms of the tool electrode 300, the present invention splits the old electrode that could only be manufactured by CNC machining in the conventional method into two different electrode heads 200 that can be processed by wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) with relatively stable machining and higher precision. At the same time, the two electrode heads 200 are combined together to form a tool electrode 300 with two different electrode heads 200. The advantage of this is that the tool electrode 300 can be completed by WEDM at one time, and the shape accuracy, dimensional accuracy, surface finish, shape consistency, and relative position accuracy between shapes on the tool electrode 300 can be guaranteed; during electrical discharge machining, there is no need to replace the tool electrode 300 multiple times, avoiding the machining errors and machining seams generated during the replacement of the two different electrode heads 200; this also provides a strong guarantee for subsequent electrical discharge machining. In addition, it saves the cost of CNC milling cutters, reduces the machining manufacturing difficulty and machining cost of the tool electrode 300, and avoids the time waste and quality problems caused by repeated corrections between CNC and electrical discharge machining.

[0060] In terms of electrical discharge machining, the present invention obtains the optimal electrical discharge machining data by increasing the head allowance on the pre-machined part 100 of electrical discharge machining, providing a guarantee for further machining quality. In addition, since the C-corner structure is cancelled on the first electrode head 301, the shape of the electrode head 200 is different from the shape on the part 100 to be machined. In principle, it is impossible to machine the same shape as on the part 100 by using this electrode head 200 through electrical discharge machining. However, the present invention realizes the machining of the part 100 shape with an electrode head 200 whose shape is not completely the same as that on the part 100 to be machined by changing the machining feed direction of conventional electrical discharge machining and the relationship between the jogging and the trajectory, changing the conventional method that electrical discharge machining must provide an electrode head 200 with a reverse shape completely the same as the shape of the part 100 to perform electrical discharge machining.

[0061] In summary, by changing the machining manufacturing method of the tool electrode 300 and the machining method of electrical discharge machining, the present invention makes it feasible to mass-produce the part 100, greatly improves the machining yield, the quality of the part 100 is stable without scrap, the accuracy is guaranteed, the technical life cycle is long, bringing a positive effect to the injection molding production yield and production efficiency of subsequent products. For the machining of parts 100 in this type of high-value-added high-speed communication connector mold, it has high economic benefits and is highly competitive in the industry.
