Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wire EDM machine tool technology, specifically to a wire EDM machine tool feed spool with a protective device. Background Technology

[0002] Wire EDM machines are equipped with wire feed spools for feeding the wire. Referring to Chinese patent publication number CN203236081U, "Wire Feed Spool for Wire EDM Machine with Protective Device," this patent points out that in existing technology, the wire feed spool is directly exposed. The molybdenum wire used in wire EDM is thin and soft, making it easily damaged. The exposed wire feed spool makes the molybdenum wire more susceptible to damage, and the exposed spool body also increases the risk of hand injury. Furthermore, the wire feed spool contains numerous control devices, which are also exposed in the existing technology, making them not only unsightly but also easily damaged by the harsh workshop environment, affecting the overall lifespan of the wire EDM machine. However, this equipment still suffers from the problem of cumbersome replacement of worn wire feed spools, increasing maintenance costs. To address these issues, we propose a wire feed spool for wire EDM machines with a protective device. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a wire feed drum for a wire EDM machine with a protective device, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a wire cutting machine tool with a protective device, comprising a wire drum body and a positioning base, wherein the wire drum body is rotatably connected to the middle of the top surface of the positioning base, and a wire drum shaft is fixedly installed inside the wire drum body, wherein a locking component is provided between the wire drum shaft and the wire drum body for fixing the wire drum body and the wire drum shaft together as one unit; The locking assembly includes two end sealing plates, which are respectively fixed at both ends of the yarn drum body. Multiple support locking plates adapted to the end sealing plates are fixedly installed inside the yarn drum body. A positioning shaft is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the spool shaft, and positioning ends are fixedly installed at both ends of the positioning shaft. The end sealing plate is provided with a matching insertion slot on the side near the positioning end. The end of the wire spool body is equipped with a molybdenum wire locking end, which is used to lock the end of the molybdenum wire to be wired.

[0005] Preferably, the end sealing plate is provided with a plurality of locking bolts inside, and both ends of the support locking plate are provided with threaded through holes adapted to the locking bolts. The locking bolts are used to lock the end sealing plate, the support locking plate and the wire drum body together.

[0006] Preferably, the top surface of the positioning base is provided with assembly slots on both sides, which are used to limit the assembly of the two ends of the screw shaft.

[0007] Preferably, a locking shaft is installed at the end of the wire drum body. The locking shaft passes through the wire drum body and is slidably connected to it. The locking end of the molybdenum wire is fixedly connected to the locking shaft. The end of the locking shaft away from the locking end of the molybdenum wire passes into the interior of the wire drum body. A return spring is sleeved on the end of the locking shaft located inside the wire drum body.

[0008] Preferably, the end of the locking shaft is fixedly sleeved with an anti-slip end, and the end of the anti-slip end is in contact with the molybdenum wire locking end.

[0009] Preferably, the spool shaft and the spool body are always kept coaxial.

[0010] Preferably, a counterweight ring frame is fixedly installed at both ends of the wire drum body, and a number of counterweight bolts are fixedly installed on the outer side of the counterweight ring frame.

[0011] Preferably, a protective component is provided between the yarn drum body and the positioning base, the protective component being used to protect the yarn drum body.

[0012] Preferably, the protective component includes an arc-shaped protective shell, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the positioning base. The arc-shaped protective shell is installed at the bottom of the bobbin body and a distance is left between it and the bobbin body. An internal protective frame is slidably installed inside the arc-shaped protective shell, and multiple support springs are fixedly installed between the end of the internal protective frame and the inside of the arc-shaped protective shell.

[0013] Preferably, the arc-shaped protective shell is provided with fixing bolts inside, which are used to lock the arc-shaped protective shell to the internal protective frame.

[0014] This invention provides a wire feed spool for a wire EDM machine with a protective device. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: (1) The wire cutting machine tool with protective device has a wire drum. By adopting a split design between the wire drum body and the wire drum shaft, it is only necessary to assemble or disassemble the end plates at both ends when assembling or disassembling. On the one hand, it will not affect the balance of the replaced wire drum body during operation. On the other hand, compared with the traditional integral wire drum body, the split design between the wire drum body and the wire drum shaft makes it easy to replace the wire drum shaft when it is worn, saving maintenance costs while ensuring the operational stability of the wire drum body.

[0015] (2) The wire cutting machine with protective device has a wire feeding drum. When the molybdenum wire is fixed by the setting of the molybdenum wire locking end, the locking end of the molybdenum wire is pulled outward, so that the locking shaft slides outward inside the wire drum body and squeezes the return spring. Then the end of the molybdenum wire to be locked is wrapped around the outside of the anti-slip end and the molybdenum wire locking end is released. The molybdenum wire locking end can lock the molybdenum wire through the cooperation of the locking shaft and the return spring. Compared with the traditional locking method, the convenience of operation is further improved.

[0016] (3) The wire cutting machine with protective device can slide outward inside the arc-shaped protective shell by pulling the inner protective frame outward during operation, until the end of the inner protective frame is located outside the running molybdenum wire. The arc-shaped protective shell and the inner protective frame are locked together by fixing bolts to achieve operation protection and improve the operation safety of the equipment.
