Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] When processing the micro-preform defect of the inner wall of the hole in the vortex contrast block manufacturing process by using the electric spark forming technology, the "area effect" will restrict it and cause the problem of difficult chip removal. At the same time, due to the local tip discharge, the edge and sharp corner of the electrode will be worn, which will make it difficult to process the preform defect shape in place. In order to solve the above problems, the existing technology usually adopts a double-electrode structure for secondary discharge processing. However, for the traditional integrated processing double-electrode process, there are problems such as time-consuming, material waste, and the integrated double-head electrode structure is easy to collide with the processing object when facing complex processing objects, which will affect the processing quality. Therefore, when performing secondary discharge processing, although the discharge blade will be made into a consistent shape, the double-electrode body will often be made into a special shape to avoid the above collision, which will cause the double-electrode body manufacturing process to be relatively complex, not only increasing the manufacturing cost but also reducing the manufacturing efficiency.

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It will be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all structures.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in specific circumstances.

[0031] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear" are used to refer to positions or locations based on the positions or locations shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are intended solely to facilitate description and simplify operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meaning.

[0032] The application discloses a double-electrode clamping mechanism, referring to Figures 1-3 The double-electrode clamping mechanism comprises a clamping body 100, a first driving module, a second driving module and an electrode position detection module. The clamping body 100 is installed on a moving head of an electric spark machining device, and is provided with a mounting cavity. The mounting cavity is provided with two electrode through slots. The first driving module comprises a first driving member 210, a first transmission member and a first electrode holder 230. The first driving member 210 is connected with the first electrode holder 230 through the first transmission member, so as to drive the first electrode holder 230 to ascend and descend in the electrode through slot. The first electrode holder 230 is used for mounting a rough machining electrode 500. The second driving module comprises a second driving member 310, a second transmission member and a second electrode holder 330. The second driving member 310 is connected with the second electrode holder 330 through the second transmission member, so as to drive the second electrode holder 330 to ascend and descend in the electrode through slot. The second electrode holder 330 is used for mounting a finishing machining electrode 600. The electrode position detection module is used for detecting the positions of the rough machining electrode 500 and the finishing machining electrode 600.

[0033] It can be understood that, since the first driving module and the second driving module are independently arranged in the clamping body 100 and do not interfere with each other, in actual work, the first driving module can drive the first electrode holder 230, on which the rough machining electrode 500 is mounted, to move, and the second driving module can drive the second electrode holder 330, on which the finishing machining electrode 600 is mounted, to move. Thus, in the first machining process (referring to Figure 4 When the rough machining electrode 500 is machining the workpiece 10, the finishing machining electrode 600 can be driven by the second driving module to move away from the workpiece 10. In the second machining process, when the finishing machining electrode 600 is machining the workpiece 10, the rough machining electrode 500 can be driven by the first driving module to move away from the workpiece 10.
