[0042] In some embodiments, the upper plate 11 is located above the EDM head 2 ; the EDM head 2 is connected to a lifting assembly 35 via a connecting assembly 31 for adjusting the height of the EDM head 2 .

[0043] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 31 includes a connecting piece 32 directly connected to the electric spark head 2 and a connecting seat 33 for installing the connecting piece 32, which is used to provide an installation position for the electric spark head 2; the connecting seat 33 is slidably connected to the lifting assembly 35, so that the lifting assembly 35 is suitable for driving the connecting seat 33 to move up and down, that is, when the lifting assembly 35 is working, it is suitable for driving the connecting seat 33 and the electric spark head 2 thereon to move in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the electric spark head 2.

[0044] In some embodiments, the surface where the connecting seat 33 contacts the lifting assembly 35 is provided with an inclined driven surface 34, and the lifting assembly 35 is suitable for driving the connecting seat 33 to rise and fall through the driven surface 34; the lifting assembly 35 includes a power member 36 for providing power and a driving member 37 for driving the driven surface 34, so that when the power member 36 pushes the driving member 37, it is suitable for driving the connecting seat 33 to rise and fall, and the power member 36 provides force for the driving member 37 to move, so that the driving member 37 drives the driven surface 34 of the connecting seat 33.

[0045] In some embodiments, the power member 36 is a pushing member for providing a linear force; the driving member 37 is separated from the upper plate 11; the driving member 37 is provided with an inclined driving surface 38 to drive the driven surface 34 to lift the connecting seat 33, and the driving surface 38 and the driven surface 34 move relative to each other, thereby driving the connecting seat 33 to lift.

[0046] In some embodiments, the power member 36 is a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder or an oil cylinder; the driving surface 38 contacts the driven surface 34, and the driving surface 38 and the driven surface 34 move relative to each other, thereby driving the connecting seat 33 to rise and fall; the driving surface 38 and the driven surface 34 are symmetrical about the connecting member 32.

[0047] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 31 passes through the upper plate 11 ; the lifting assembly 35 is disposed on the upper plate 11 to provide an installation position for the lifting assembly 35 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the driving member 37 further includes a position-avoiding hole 39 for avoiding interference with the connecting member 32 ; the driving member 37 is located below the connecting seat 33 .

[0050] Working principle: Before starting to use the EDM machine, the operator places the product to be processed at the corresponding position of the EDM machine, that is, the product is located below the EDM head 2; when the EDM machine is started, under the control of the external control system, the lifting mechanism 3 on the upper frame 1 starts to work to adjust the distance between the EDM head 2 and the product; during this process, the push rod of the power member 36 extends or retracts, thereby driving the driving member 37 to slide on the table of the upper frame 1, and during this process, the driving surface 38 and the driven surface 34 of the connecting seat 33 undergo relative motion; since the driving surface 38 and the driven surface 34 are inclined surfaces that contact each other, when the relative motion between the two After the position moves, the connecting seat 33 will rise or fall in the vertical direction. During this process, the connecting piece 32 connected to the connecting seat 33 drives the spark head 2 to rise or fall relative to the product, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the height of the spark head 2. During this process, the spark head 2 of the EDM machine continues to process the product, and the lifting mechanism 3 continuously adjusts the distance between the spark head 2 and the product according to actual needs, and repeats the above process until the work is completed; after the work is completed, the lifting mechanism 3 drives the spark head 2 away from the product, so that the operator can take away the product and place a new product that needs to be processed, and repeat the above process until the work is completed.
