Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wire EDM (Wire Cutting and Spinning) technology, and more specifically to a wire EDM apparatus for turbine disks. Background Technology
[0002] As a key hot-end component of aero-engines, turbine disks require extremely high dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and consistency in their tenon and groove structures. Traditional milling and broaching processes suffer from problems such as severe tool wear, high cutting forces, easy generation of machining stress, and difficulty in machining complex surfaces. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) wire cutting, due to its advantages such as no cutting force, ability to machine high-hardness high-temperature alloys, and strong contour adaptability, has become the mainstream process for precision machining of turbine disk tenons and grooves.
[0003] Existing turbine disk wire EDM devices still have significant shortcomings in practical applications: the electrode wire is prone to overheating and vibration during high-speed wire feeding and high-current discharge, resulting in unstable tension and fluctuating discharge state, leading to transverse vibration marks and excessive roughness on the workpiece surface; arcing and coating peeling are prone to occur at the contact point between the electrode wire and the conductive wheel, further exacerbating the risk of wire vibration and breakage; the cooling method is mostly a single external spray, which is insufficient for cooling the contact area between the tension wheel and the electrode wire, and the heat accumulation causes thermal expansion and deformation of the electrode wire and deviation in operation; at the same time, there is a lack of dynamic temperature adjustment by monitoring the electrode wire temperature, resulting in low processing stability, accuracy and pass rate, making it difficult to meet the high-precision, high-consistency and long-life processing requirements of high-temperature alloy turbine disk tenon grooves. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Furthermore, the wire guiding assembly also includes an internal cooling circulation channel, an intermediate rotating shaft, a steering guide wheel, a discharge pipe, a water-throwing hole, a collection cover, a water collection tank, a liquid guiding channel, a rotary joint, and a delivery pipe. The tension wheel has a hollow structure, with the intermediate rotating shaft fixed at its center, forming a hollow annular space between them. This hollow annular space constitutes the internal cooling circulation channel. The intermediate rotating shaft contains a liquid guiding channel. The rotary joint consists of an outer stationary ring with a liquid inlet and an inner moving ring with a liquid outlet. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixed to the tension wheel via the inner moving ring. The coolant tank is connected to the liquid inlet of the rotary joint via the delivery pipe, and the liquid outlet of the rotary joint is connected to the liquid guiding channel, thus connecting to the internal cooling circulation channel.

One end of the spring abuts against the conductive brush ball, and the other end abuts against the fixed plate. The conductive brush ball is in contact with the surface of the electrode wire.
[0010] Furthermore, a wear-resistant sleeve is fitted on the outside of the conductive brush ball, and the wear-resistant sleeve is made of conductive polytetrafluoroethylene.

(2) On the one hand, this invention uses nozzles to accurately spray the electrode wire and workpiece processing area externally to achieve direct cooling and timely chip removal; on the other hand, it sets an internal cooling circulation channel inside the tension wheel to internally force-cool the contact area of the tension wheel and electrode wire, effectively solving the problems of insufficient cooling in traditional single-path cooling, heat accumulation leading to thermal expansion deformation of the electrode wire and running deviation, further improving processing stability and accuracy. (3) This invention adopts a flexible conductive structure of conductive brush ball, conductive rubber rod and spring pre-tensioning. The conductive brush ball can adaptively fit the surface of the electrode wire, increase the contact area, reduce the contact resistance, and weaken the phenomenon of arcing and plating peeling at the contact point; in conjunction with wear-resistant sleeve to reduce friction and wear, ensure long-term stable conductivity, and reduce the risk of wire vibration and wire breakage. (4) The present invention monitors the temperature of the electrode wire in real time by using a temperature sensor and collects the flow rate of the coolant by a flow meter. The flow rate of the coolant can be dynamically adjusted according to the temperature of the electrode wire to achieve matching of cooling intensity, ensure that the electrode wire works in a reasonable temperature range, and improve the stability and safety of the operation.

It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.
[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a wire EDM machining device for turbine disks is used for high-precision wire EDM machining of tenon grooves in high-temperature alloy turbine disks. It includes a cutting machine body 1, a wire guide assembly 2, an electrical connection assembly 3, and a monitoring and control assembly 4. The cutting machine body 1 serves as the support carrier for the entire device. The wire guide assembly 2, the electrical connection assembly 3, and the monitoring and control assembly 4 are all fixedly installed on the cutting machine body 1, working together to achieve stable clamping of the turbine disk workpiece, stable wire feeding, and dual-path cooling heat exchange.
[0030] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the cutting machine body 1 includes a housing, on which a working fluid tank 102 is provided. The working fluid tank 102 is the processing station for the turbine disk workpiece, and a clamping and moving unit is provided inside. The clamping and moving unit consists of a threaded rod 101, a fixed plate 104, a slide rod 105, a moving part 106, and an electric push rod 111. The moving part 106 is slidably disposed in the working fluid tank 102. The threaded rod 101 is threadedly connected to the moving part 106.

The slide rod 105 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 104. The electric push rod 111 is fixedly installed in the working fluid tank 102. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 111 is fixedly connected to the moving member 106. The clamping and moving unit is used to accurately clamp and fix the turbine disk workpiece between the fixed plate 104 and the moving member 106, and cooperates with the electric push rod 111 to realize displacement adjustment during the processing, eliminating workpiece offset, shaking and micro-displacement, and providing a reliable clamping reference for high-precision EDM cutting.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, a coolant tank 107 is fixedly installed on the top of the housing. The outer surface of the coolant tank 107 is connected to a coolant fixing pipe, which is connected to an external liquid storage tank, so that working fluid can be continuously replenished into the tank to ensure sufficient coolant supply.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figures 5-8 As shown, a wire feeder 103 is provided on the housing directly above the working fluid tank 102, and a nozzle 110 is installed on the wire feeder 103; a connecting pipe 108 is provided on the side of the coolant tank 107, and the end of the connecting pipe 108 is connected to the nozzle 110. The nozzle 110 sprays directly at the electrode wire 109, which can accurately spray low-temperature coolant to directly cool the machining station of the electrode wire 109 and the turbine disk workpiece and remove the chips during cutting.
[0033] The wire feeding guide assembly 2 is located directly above the working liquid tank 102 and includes a wire feeding component 201, an internal cooling circulation channel 202, an intermediate rotating shaft 203, a steering guide wheel 204, a discharge pipe 205, a water ejection hole 206, a collection cover 207, a water collection tank 208, a liquid guiding channel 209, a rotary joint 210, and a delivery pipe 211.
[0034] The wire feeding assembly 201 includes a tension wheel 2011, a drive motor 2012, an electrode wire spool 2013, a pressure wheel 2014, and an annular guide groove 2015. The drive motor 2012 is fixedly installed inside the housing, and the output shaft of the drive motor 2012 is fixedly connected to one end of the tension wheel 2011 through a rotary joint 210. The other end of the tension wheel 2011 is rotatably connected to the collection cover 207. The pressure wheel 2014 is also rotatably arranged inside the housing. The pressure wheel 2014 and the tension wheel 2011 are arranged in parallel and cooperate with each other to press and limit the electrode wire 109.
[0035] The tension wheel 2011 has multiple annular guide grooves 2015 on its outer wall, which can radially limit and axially constrain the electrode wire 109, preventing the electrode wire 109 from shifting or jumping out of the groove. Together with the pressure wheel 2014, it maintains a constant working tension of the electrode wire 109, counteracts slack and wobbling during operation, and ensures smooth operation of the electrode wire 109. A steering guide wheel 204 is also rotatably installed inside the housing to turn the electrode wire 109 and guide it toward the working fluid tank 102.
[0036] An electrode wire spool 2013 is rotatably installed inside the housing for winding and storing the electrode wire 109, ensuring an orderly and sufficient quantity of electrode wire. The electrode wire 109 is led out from the electrode wire spool 2013, guided by the pressure roller 2014, limited by the annular guide groove 2015 of the tension roller 2011, and after changing direction by the steering guide roller 204, it extends towards the working fluid tank 102. After passing through the preset position of the turbine disk workpiece in the working fluid tank 102, it circles around the inside of the housing and is guided by the guide roller, finally returning to the electrode wire spool 2013 to form a closed loop, ensuring smooth wire feeding without jamming or overlapping.
[0037] The tension wheel 2011 has a hollow structure, with a central rotating shaft 203 fixed at its center, forming a hollow annular space between them. This hollow annular space constitutes the internal cooling circulation channel 202. The central rotating shaft 203 is made of high-strength alloy material and serves as both the rotation support base for the tension wheel 2011 and the coolant guide channel. It can rotate with the tension wheel 2011, and a coolant guide channel 209 is provided inside the central rotating shaft 203.
[0038] The rotary joint 210 is a Jingpei LPPL00002L type dual-channel pure fluid precision rotary joint, which is divided into an outer stationary ring with a liquid inlet and an inner moving ring with a liquid outlet. The output shaft of the drive motor 2012 is fixed to the tension wheel 2011 through the inner moving ring. The coolant tank 107 is connected to the liquid inlet of the rotary joint 210 through the delivery pipe 211. The liquid outlet of the rotary joint 210 is connected to the liquid guiding channel 209 and then connected to the internal cooling circulation channel 202. The tension wheel 2011 is located at one end of the collection cover 207 and has multiple water-throwing holes 206 evenly opened. The water-throwing holes 206 are connected to the internal cooling circulation channel 202.
[0039] The collection cover 207 has a sealed structure and receives the coolant thrown out from the water-throwing hole 206. The bottom of the collection cover 207 is provided with a water collection tank 208, which is connected to a discharge pipe 205. The scattered dripping coolant can be collected, channeled into the discharge pipe 205, and finally discharged to an external liquid treatment container to avoid liquid accumulation and overflow, thus realizing the recycling of coolant.
[0040] like Figure 8 Figure 9As shown, the electrical connection assembly 3 includes a fixed plate 301, a support plate 302, a conductive brush ball 303, a conductive rubber rod 304, a spring 305, and a wear-resistant sleeve 306. The specific structure of the electrical connection assembly 3 is as follows: the support plate 302 is vertically fixed inside the housing, the fixed plate 301 is installed on the top of the support plate 302, the conductive rubber rod 304 is installed inside the fixed plate 301, and the inner wall of the fixed plate 301 is provided with sliding holes equal in number to the conductive rubber rod 304. The conductive rubber rod 304 is slidably disposed in the sliding holes. The conductive rubber rod 304 is made of conductive silicone rubber and has both conductive and elastic buffering functions. The top of the conductive rubber rod 304 is connected to the conductive brush ball 303, and the spring 305 is sleeved on the conductive rubber rod 304. One end of the spring 305 abuts against the conductive brush ball 303, and the other end abuts against the fixed plate 301. The conductive brush ball 303 is made of silver graphite composite material, which can adaptively conform to the surface of the electrode wire 109, increase the conductive contact area, reduce the contact resistance, and weaken the discharge arcing.
[0041] like Figure 10 As shown, a wear-resistant sleeve 306 is fitted on the outside of the conductive brush ball 303. The wear-resistant sleeve 306 is made of conductive polytetrafluoroethylene material, which isolates the friction of metal components and reduces wear and debris. The spring 305 provides a constant preload force to adapt to the vibration and slight deviation of the electrode wire 109, ensuring stable contact of the conductive brush ball 303 and reliable signal transmission.
[0042] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the monitoring and control component 4 includes an insulating base 401, a copper ring 402, and a copper braided strip 403.
[0043] An insulating base 401 is installed inside the housing. A high-strength insulating engineering plastic copper ring 402 is installed on the insulating base 401, providing a stable mounting base for the copper ring 402 and preventing leakage and cross-current. The copper ring 402 serves as the main power supply circuit and is electrically connected to the external high-frequency pulse power supply. The copper ring 402 is flexibly electrically connected to the fixed plate 301 through a copper braided strip 403 made of multiple strands of purple copper wire, which adapts to assembly deviations and vibration displacements, and avoids rigid connection breakage and poor contact.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring and control component 4 also includes a control valve 404 and a flow meter 405. The control valve 404 and the flow meter 405 are installed on both the connecting pipe 108 and the delivery pipe 211. A temperature sensor is also installed on the fixed plate 301 to monitor the temperature of the electrode wire 109. The flow meter 405 collects the coolant flow parameters in real time and feeds them back to the operator. The operator controls the control valve 404 according to the temperature of the electrode wire 109 to adjust the pipe opening. When there is a high risk of overheating, the valve is opened wider to increase the flow rate and enhance cooling to ensure that the electrode wire 109 is within the normal operating temperature range.
[0045] Working principle: (1) Clamping and preparation of workpiece: First, through the clamping and moving unit in the cutting machine body 1, the threaded rod 101, the fixed plate 104, the slide rod 105, the moving part 106 and the electric push rod 111 work together to accurately and stably clamp and fix the high temperature alloy turbine disk workpiece in the working liquid tank 102, and connect the workpiece to the negative terminal of the high frequency pulse power supply outside the device.
[0046] (2) Cutting operation: Subsequently, the wire guide assembly 2 is started, and the drive motor 2012 drives the tension wheel 2011 to rotate through the rotary joint 210. The electrode wire 109 is led out from the electrode wire spool 2013, elastically pressed by the pressure roller 2014, radially limited and axially constrained by the annular guide groove 2015 on the outer wall of the tension wheel 2011, and then extended to the working fluid tank 102 after being turned by the steering guide wheel 204. After passing through the turbine disk tenon groove processing position, a closed loop is formed, ensuring that the electrode wire 109 feeds smoothly, with constant tension and no slippage, jumping, or wire stacking or tangling. At the same time, the coolant in the coolant tank 107 is cooled. After the coil and the heat exchange tube exchange heat and cool down, one path is transported through the connecting pipe 108 to the nozzle 110 at the upper wire frame 103, and precisely sprayed onto the machining station of the electrode wire 109 and the turbine disk workpiece to achieve direct cooling and chip removal. The other path is introduced through the conveying pipe 211 and the rotary joint 210 into the internal cooling circulation channel 202 inside the tension wheel 2011 to internally cool the tension wheel 2011. The coolant after absorbing heat is thrown out through the water throwing hole 206 on the tension wheel 2011, collected by the collection cover 207 and flowed into the water collection tank 208, and then transported to the external processing container through the discharge pipe 205 to complete the coolant circulation and recycling.
[0047] (3) Temperature monitoring and coolant flow control: The high-frequency pulse power supply is connected to the fixed plate 301 through the copper ring 402 and the copper braided belt 403. Under the pre-tightening force of the spring 305, the conductive rubber rod 304 in the fixed plate 301 makes the conductive brush ball 303 adhere to the surface of the electrode wire 109, stably transmitting the high-frequency pulse current. The wear-resistant sleeve 306 reduces friction and wear, ensuring the reliability of conductive contact. The flow meter 405 collects the two coolant flow parameters in real time, and the temperature sensor monitors the working temperature of the electrode wire 109 in real time. The operator adjusts the opening of the control valve 404 according to the monitoring data to dynamically adjust the coolant flow, ensuring that the electrode wire 109 and key components are in the normal working temperature range, and finally achieves stable and efficient wire cutting of the high-temperature alloy turbine disk tenon groove.
