[0006] The following is a further description of the accompanying drawings. 21 is a magnet mounted on the base 30 of the wire clamp body. The suction piece 22 is connected to the wire clamp body 20 through the suction piece rotating shaft 29. The wire pressing piece 28 is connected to the wire clamp body 20 through the wire pressing piece rotating shaft 25. When the magnet 21 sucks the suction piece 22 tightly, the wire pressing piece 28 is pressed tightly against the wire clamp body wire pressing piece 26. The wire pressing area 40 can press the molybdenum wire. There is an arc-shaped step between the transition step 45 and the wire pressing piece transition area 44. The height is greater than the diameter of the molybdenum wire. When the wire clamp wire pressing area 40 presses the molybdenum wire and rotates, the molybdenum wire can slide to the arc edge of the transition step 45 in the wire pressing piece transition area 44 to ensure that the molybdenum wire is not Bending, the semicircular groove 41 of the lead tube through hole of the wire pressing piece and the semicircular groove 35 of the lead tube through hole of the main body can form the lead tube through hole 27, and the second loosening cylinder shaft 73 pushes the suction piece 22 away from the loosening area 23 of the suction piece to open the loosening wire 24 installed on the wire pressing piece 28 to separate the wire pressing piece 28 from the wire pressing piece 26 of the wire pulling clamp main body to release the molybdenum wire, and the wire pulling clamp 11 is installed on the dovetail seat 66 through the main body mounting dovetail 31, and the dovetail seat 66 is installed on the belt 05, and the belt 05 is installed on the first pulley 10 and the second pulley 04, the first pulley 10 is installed on the second mounting plate 09, and the second mounting plate 09 is installed on the upper wire frame 18; Attachment Figure 9The structure of the wire clamp is intended, in which the fixed ring 105 is two semicircular rings fixedly mounted on the wire reel 70, and there is a through hole on the fixed ring 105 for connecting the connecting rod 108 to the pressing coil 100 and the removing coil 107. The connecting rod 108 is mounted on the removing coil 107, and there is a screw hole for connecting the pressing coil at the end. The inner diameters of the pressing coil 100 and the removing coil 107 are about 2 mm larger than the inner diameter of the fixed ring 105. The pressing coil 100 is mounted on the connecting rod 108 by screws, and the length of the connecting rod 108 is about 4 mm greater than the thickness of the fixed ring 105.

The first detection switch 56 is disconnected, and at the same time, the molybdenum wire moves from the lead tube through-hole 27 to the wire clamping area 60 of the wire clamp. The molybdenum wire rises to the set height and then pulls back. When the end of the molybdenum wire is lower than the first detection switch steel wire 68, the first detection switch 56 is turned on, and the wire clamp 11 clamps the molybdenum wire to ensure that the end of the molybdenum wire is a certain distance away from the wire clamp. The second detection block 16 is mounted on the second detection switch cylinder 50, which is mounted on the first mounting plate 17. When removing the wire, the second detection block 16 is pushed by the second detection switch cylinder 50. When the end of the molybdenum wire is lower than the second detection switch wire 67, the second detection switch is turned on.

The tightening module is lifted and lowered by a CNC motor. Specific embodiments

[0007] The following is an explanation of the process of threading and unthreading the wire: Step 1: The wire clamp is driven by the belt to move to the top of the upper guide wheel. The first loosening cylinder opens the wire clamp. The wire tube passes through the hole of the wire clamp and pulls the molybdenum wire from the lower guide nozzle to the top of the first detection block. The first detection block advances, the first detection switch is disconnected, and the molybdenum wire is pushed to the clamping area of ​​the wire clamp. The molybdenum wire is pulled back to the bottom of the first detection block, the first loosening cylinder retracts, and the wire clamp is clamped by the magnet with the molybdenum wire end exposed about 40mm from the wire clamp. Step 2: The wire clamp is driven by the belt to move to the wire clamp position detection switch 76; Step 3: The wire removal cylinder pushes the wire removal coil through the wire removal top block. At this time, the pressing coil and the fixed ring are separated. The wire pulling clamp is driven by the belt to continue to move and guide the molybdenum wire end through the molybdenum wire end guide piece and send it between the pressing coil and the fixed ring. The transition step of the wire pulling clamp pressing piece can prevent the molybdenum wire from being bent when the wire pulling clamp rotates around the second pulley. Step 4: The wire removal cylinder retreats to loosen the wire removal coil, and the pressure coil and the fixed ring are sucked and pressed by the magnet to compress the molybdenum wire. The second loosening cylinder advances, and the wire clamp suction piece is separated from the magnet. The loosening steel wire drives the pressure piece to separate from the pressure piece of the wire clamp body to release the molybdenum wire. The wire tightening device controls the slider to rise and stop when the wire threading detection switch is turned on. The wire reel rotates forward, and the molybdenum wire slides off the detection piece of the third detection switch and is wound on the wire reel for a certain number of turns; the wire tightening module controls the slider to rise and stop when the wire tightening detection switch is turned on, and the machine tool enters the processing state; Step 5: After the processing is completed, the wire tightening device controls the slider to descend and stop when the wire tightening detection switch is disconnected. The wire reel reverses. When the molybdenum wire approaches the end, the third detection switch detection piece is lifted from below. The third detection switch is turned on, and the second detection block is pushed forward by the second detection switch cylinder. The molybdenum wire disconnects the second detection switch. Step 6: The wire removal cylinder 01 pushes the wire removal coil through the wire removal top block. At this time, the pressure coil and the fixed ring are separated to release the molybdenum wire end. The wire reel continues to reel in the wire, and the second detection switch cylinder retracts. Step 7: When the end of the molybdenum wire is lower than the second detection block, the wire reel stops rotating, the wire tightening device controls the slider to rise to a certain height and accurately retracts the end of the molybdenum wire to between the lower guide nozzle and the lower guide wheel, the second detection switch cylinder retracts, and the above steps are repeated for the next wire threading.
