Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrode tooling technology, specifically relating to an electrode tooling and its application method. Background Technology

[0002] Electrode fixtures are a general term for special tools used to fix, position, or calibrate electrodes. Electrode centering instruments are a type of high-precision calibration fixture specifically designed to ensure the centering, perpendicularity, or angular accuracy of electrodes.

[0003] Existing electrode centering instruments are key equipment in industrial welding, electrolysis, and precision manufacturing, used to ensure the precise alignment and perpendicularity calibration of electrodes (such as welding electrodes and electrolytic electrodes). Traditional electrode centering instruments typically fix the electrode position using a positioning rod, which has the following two drawbacks: Height adjustment structure: The vertical position of the positioning rod is adjusted via a threaded knob, gear rack, or slide rail; Assembly and disassembly structure: The positioning rod is locked in place using bolts, clips, or pins. However, these two structures are separate and cannot be linked for coordinated positioning, greatly reducing ease of use. Therefore, an electrode tooling and its application method are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrode tooling and its application method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an electrode tooling, comprising an electrode centering instrument body, an alignment mold fixedly connected to the top center of the electrode centering instrument body, L-shaped alignment blocks fixedly connected to the top circumference of the alignment mold, an electrode seat placed on the top of the alignment mold between the four L-shaped alignment blocks, an electrode block movably placed on the electrode seat, multiple screw holes opened on the front side wall of the electrode seat, sliding grooves opened on the electrode centering instrument body on both sides of the alignment mold, sliding seats with I-shaped vertical cross sections slidably connected in the sliding grooves, push-pull blocks fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two sliding seats, two symmetrically arranged cylinders fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the electrode centering instrument body, the telescopic ends of the cylinders fixedly connected to the outer side of the push-pull blocks, and a linkage adjustment positioning component installed on each sliding seat, the linkage adjustment positioning component being used on the one hand to clamp and fix positioning rods of different diameters, and on the other hand to synchronously adjust the height of the positioning rods.

[0006] Preferably, the linkage adjustment and positioning component includes two symmetrically arranged movable slots on the sliding seat, and a guide rod is slidably inserted into each movable slot. The cross-sectional size of the guide rod is half the cross-sectional size of the movable slot.

[0007] Preferably, the top ends of the two guide rods on the same side are fixed to the same base, and the top end of the base is fixed to two symmetrically arranged guide columns. The outer sides of the two guide columns are slidably fitted with the same top pressure seat. The bottom end of the top pressure seat and the top end of the base are both provided with V-shaped clamping grooves.

[0008] Preferably, a Z-shaped rod is movably inserted into each of the two guide rods, and a plurality of equidistant second teeth are fixedly connected to one side wall of each of the two Z-shaped rods facing the outer wall of the top pressure seat. A plurality of equidistant first teeth are fixedly connected to both outer walls of the top pressure seat, and the Z-shaped rods are engaged with the plurality of first teeth by the plurality of second teeth.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of each Z-shaped rod is movably inserted into the movable groove, and rubber pads are fixed to the opposite side walls of the bottom of each of the two Z-shaped rods.

[0010] Preferably, the two Z-shaped rods are threadedly connected to the same bidirectional screw, the middle part of which is rotatably connected to the base, and both ends of which are fixedly connected to handles.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom cross-section of the Z-shaped rod is smaller than the cross-section of the guide rod.

[0012] This invention also includes a method for applying an electrode tooling, the method comprising the following steps:

[0013] Step 1: First, fix the alignment mold to the top of the electrode centering instrument body with four bolts, and place the electrode seat between the four alignment blocks to achieve pre-positioning. Then, place the electrode block in the top groove of the electrode seat.

[0014] Step 2: By activating the two cylinders, the two push-pull blocks are pulled to move in opposite directions, causing the two sliding seats to move in opposite directions, and the positioning rods fixed on them by the linkage adjustment positioning component to move in opposite directions, thus pushing the electrode block to the center.

[0015] Step 3: After the electrode block is pushed to the center, screw multiple screws into the screw holes to lock the electrode block onto the electrode base.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the electrode tooling and its application method provided by the present invention have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In this invention, when it is necessary to simultaneously position positioning rods of different diameters or to lock positioning rods of the same diameter at the same height, the bidirectional screw can be rotated by the handle, causing the two Z-shaped rods to move relative to each other. This causes the multiple second teeth on the Z-shaped rods to disengage from the multiple first teeth on the outer wall of the top pressure seat. At this time, the top pressure seat can be manually slid onto the two guide posts to facilitate fixing positioning rods of different diameters. Additionally, the side wall of the Z-shaped rod that drives the rubber pad to release its contact with the inner wall of the movable groove, allowing the two guide rods at the bottom of the base to move up and down in their respective movable grooves. Conversely, this facilitates positioning for different diameters while simultaneously fixing the height of positioning rods of the same diameter, greatly improving the ease of operation of the electrode tooling.

[0025] Example

[0026] Current electrode centering instruments are key equipment in industrial welding, electrolysis, and precision manufacturing, used to ensure the precise alignment and perpendicularity calibration of electrodes such as welding electrodes and electrolytic electrodes. Traditional electrode centering instruments typically fix the electrode position using a positioning rod, which has the following two drawbacks: Height adjustment structure: The vertical position of the positioning rod is adjusted via a threaded knob, gear rack, or slide rail; Assembly and disassembly structure: The positioning rod is locked in place using bolts, clips, or pins, but these two structures are separate and cannot be linked for coordinated positioning, greatly reducing ease of use.

[0027] For this purpose, please refer to Figure 1-3 This invention provides an electrode tooling and its application method, comprising: an electrode centering instrument body 1, an alignment mold 11 fixedly connected to the top center of the electrode centering instrument body 1, L-shaped alignment blocks 12 fixedly connected to the top four sides of the alignment mold 11, an electrode seat 2 placed on the top of the alignment mold 11 between the four L-shaped alignment blocks 12, an electrode block 21 movably placed on the electrode seat 2, a plurality of screw holes 22 opened on the front side wall of the electrode seat 2, sliding grooves opened on the electrode centering instrument body 1 on both sides of the alignment mold 11, sliding seats 4 with I-shaped vertical cross sections slidably connected in the sliding grooves, push-pull blocks 42 fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two sliding seats 4, two symmetrically arranged cylinders 41 fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the electrode centering instrument body 1, the telescopic ends of the cylinders 41 fixedly connected to the outside of the push-pull blocks 42, and a linkage adjustment positioning component 3 installed on the sliding seats 4. The linkage adjustment positioning component 3 is used to clamp and fix positioning rods of different diameters and to synchronously adjust the height of the positioning rods.

[0028] Both the electrode holder 2 and the electrode sheet can be found through Baidu search and are existing technologies, as is the fixing method.

[0029] Further as Figure 1-3As shown, in order to fix positioning rods of different diameters while simultaneously fixing their height, a linkage-type adjustable positioning assembly 3 is provided. This assembly includes two symmetrically arranged movable slots 31 on the sliding seat 4. Guide rods 32 are slidably inserted into each movable slot 31. The cross-sectional size of the guide rod 32 is half the cross-sectional size of the movable slot 31. The top ends of the two guide rods 32 on the same side are fixed to the same base 33. The top end of the base 33 is fixed to two symmetrically arranged guide pillars 34. The outer sides of the two guide pillars 34 are slidably fitted with the same top pressure seat 35. Both the bottom end of the top pressure seat 35 and the top end of the base 33 have V-shaped clamping grooves 36. The two guide rods 32 are slidably... The Z-shaped rods 37 are movably inserted. On the side wall of each Z-shaped rod 37 facing the outer wall of the top pressure seat 35, there are multiple equally spaced second teeth 39. On the outer walls of both sides of the top pressure seat 35, there are multiple equally spaced first teeth 38. The Z-shaped rods 37 are engaged with the multiple first teeth 38 by the multiple second teeth 39. The bottom of each Z-shaped rod 37 is movably inserted into the movable groove 31. On the side wall of the bottom of each Z-shaped rod 37 facing each other, there are rubber pads 311. The two Z-shaped rods 37 are threadedly connected to the same bidirectional screw 310. The middle part of the bidirectional screw 310 is rotatably connected to the bottom support 33. The two ends of the bidirectional screw 310 are fixed with handles. The bottom cross-section of the Z-shaped rod 37 is smaller than the cross-section of the guide rod 32.

[0030] Rubber pads 311 are also provided in the clamping grooves 36 to ensure the stability of the positioning rod after it is clamped and fixed.

[0031] This invention also includes a method for applying an electrode tooling, the method comprising the following steps:

[0032] Step 1: First, fix the alignment mold 11 to the top of the electrode center instrument body 1 with four bolts, and place the electrode seat 2 between the four alignment blocks to achieve pre-positioning. Then, place the electrode block 21 in the top groove of the electrode seat 2.

[0033] Step 2: By activating the two cylinders 41, the two push-pull blocks 42 are pulled to move in opposite directions, causing the two sliding seats 4 to move in opposite directions, and causing the positioning rods fixed on them by the linkage adjustment positioning component 3 to move in opposite directions, thus pushing the electrode block 21 to the center.

[0034] Step 3: After the electrode block 21 is pushed to the center, multiple screws are screwed into the screw holes 22 to lock the electrode block 21 onto the electrode base 2.

[0035] Example: When using this electrode fixture, especially when it is necessary to simultaneously position positioning rods of different diameters or to lock positioning rods of the same diameter at the same height, the bidirectional screw 310 can be rotated by the handle, causing the two Z-shaped rods 37 to move relative to each other, and causing the multiple second teeth 39 on the Z-shaped rods 37 to disengage from the multiple first teeth 38 on the outer wall of the top pressure seat 35. At this time, the top pressure seat 35 can be manually slid on the two guide posts 34 to fix positioning rods of different diameters. In addition, one side wall of the rubber pad 311 driven by the Z-shaped rods 37 is released from its contact with the inner wall of the movable groove 31, so that the two guide rods 32 at the bottom of the base 33 can be adjusted up and down in the corresponding movable groove 31. Conversely, this facilitates positioning for different diameters while simultaneously fixing the height of positioning rods of different diameters, greatly improving the ease of operation of the electrode fixture.
