[0002] During the electrolytic machining process, hydrogen ions gain electrons and precipitate hydrogen on the cathode surface, while metal elements lose electrons, causing corrosion and oxidation at the anode to generate flocculent electrolytic products. Bubbles and flocculent electrolytic products are mixed in the electrolyte, so that in the actual electrolytic machining process, a three-phase flow consisting of gas phase, liquid phase and solid phase flows through the machining gap.

[0027] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings, but the implementation manner of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 9 The new electrolytic processing device 3 capable of dissolving electrolytic products of the utility model comprises a base 1, an electrolytic cell 4 arranged on the base 1, an electrolytic processing device 3 and a vertical feeding device 2 for driving the electrolytic processing device 3 to perform vertical movement, wherein the electrolytic cell 4 is located below the electrolytic processing device 3; the electrolytic processing device 3 comprises a mounting seat 301, a tool electrode 302 arranged in the mounting seat 301 and a high-frequency vibration module 5 arranged on both sides of the tool electrode 302, wherein the tool electrode 302 is mounted on a connecting seat 6, the connecting seat 6 is located at the bottom of the mounting seat 301, and the two sides of the connecting seat 6 are respectively connected to the high-frequency vibration modules 5 on both sides; the high-frequency vibration module 5 is used to generate high-frequency vibration, and transmit the high-frequency vibration to the tool electrode 302 through the connecting seat 6, so as to cause the tool electrode 302 to vibrate.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 9 The high-frequency vibration module 5 includes a base plate, a cover plate, a flexible hinge displacement amplification mechanism arranged between the base plate and the cover plate, and a driver for driving the flexible hinge displacement amplification mechanism to move; wherein, in this embodiment, the driver is a piezoelectric ceramic 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, according to the main principle of the flexible hinge displacement amplification mechanism, it can be divided into three types: lever amplification principle, triangle amplification principle and buckling amplification principle; wherein each of the three amplification methods has its own characteristics:

[0032] (1) The lever amplification structure is simple, the number of flexible hinges is small, the amplification factor is large, and it is widely used; however, the larger the amplification factor, the larger the structure size, which makes it difficult to coordinate the whole.

[0033] (2) The displacement output of the triangular amplification is related to the oblique angle of the inclined rod. The structure of the triangular amplification is relatively compact, and the amplification factor and the structural stress have a mutually restrictive relationship. However, there is a problem that the amplification factor and the maximum stress are difficult to balance and coordinate;

[0034] (3) Buckling amplification is generally used for the writing of thin plates or shells, and its amplification factor is nonlinear.

[0035] To this end, in combination with the above three amplification methods, a flexible hinge displacement amplification mechanism of this embodiment is designed, which includes a primary lever amplification mechanism, a primary triangular amplification mechanism and a secondary triangular amplification mechanism, wherein the primary lever amplification mechanism is divided into two groups, and the two groups of primary lever amplification mechanisms are symmetrically arranged; the driving end of the primary triangular amplification mechanism is connected to the two groups of primary lever amplification mechanisms; the two ends of the secondary triangular amplification mechanism are respectively connected to the driving ends of the two groups of primary lever amplification mechanisms; wherein,

[0036] The primary amplification mechanism includes a primary horizontal flexible hinge 501 arranged horizontally and a primary vertical flexible hinge 502 arranged vertically; the bottom of the primary vertical flexible hinge 502 is connected to the end of the primary horizontal flexible hinge 501, and a primary connecting block 503 is arranged in the middle of the primary vertical flexible hinge 502, and the primary connecting block 503 is connected to the primary vertical flexible hinge 502;

[0037] The first-level triangular amplification mechanism includes two groups of first-level triangular flexible hinges symmetrically arranged in an upper and lower manner, wherein the first-level triangular flexible hinge includes a driving block 504 and a first-level flexible connecting rod 505 arranged on the left and right sides of the driving block 504, wherein one end of the flexible connecting rod is connected to the driving block 504, and the other side is connected to the first-level connecting block 503; the driver is located between the upper and lower groups of first-level triangular flexible hinges, and the upper and lower driving ends of the driver are respectively connected to the two groups of driving blocks 504;

[0038] The secondary triangular amplification mechanism includes a secondary connecting block 507 and a secondary flexible connecting rod 506 arranged on the left and right sides of the secondary connecting block 507, and the two sides of the secondary flexible connecting rod 506 are respectively connected to the top of the primary vertical flexible hinge 502 and the secondary connecting block 507; the secondary connecting block 507 is connected to the connecting seat 6.

[0039] Through the above arrangement, when the piezoelectric ceramic 7 is energized, it will drive the driving block 504 to move vertically, and through the primary lever amplification mechanism, the primary triangular amplification mechanism and the secondary triangular amplification mechanism, the displacement is amplified, that is, the vertical displacement of the secondary connecting block 507 in the secondary triangular amplification mechanism will be significantly greater than the deformation of the piezoelectric ceramic 7. With the vertical reciprocating motion of the secondary connecting block 507, high-frequency vibration is generated and transmitted to the tool electrode 302 through the connecting seat 6, so that the tool electrode 302 also generates vertical vibration.

[0040] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7In order to verify the effect of the flexible hinge displacement amplification mechanism in this embodiment, solid mechanics simulation was performed in COMSOL. The selected material was 7075 aluminum. The maximum stress of the flexible hinge displacement amplification mechanism and the amplification factor of the flexible hinge displacement amplification mechanism were simulated and analyzed. During the simulation process, the four ends of the flexible hinge displacement amplification mechanism were fixed, and the piezoelectric ceramic 7 was simulated to input a displacement of a specified size to the two ends of the flexible hinge displacement amplification mechanism; wherein the input displacement is an input quantity x that is sinusoidally transformed with time, and its time-varying formula is as follows:

[0041] x = A + A × cos (π + 2πt / T);

[0042] First, a sinusoidal input vibration with a maximum displacement of 10μm is input to both ends of the piezoelectric ceramic 7 according to the sinusoidal law, and the maximum stress of the overall amplified structure is 264MPa. The maximum stress of the structure is at the left and right corners of the triangular structure where the piezoelectric ceramic 7 is installed. This slender part needs to reciprocate for a long time to squeeze and stretch the thick levers on both sides, so it is the place with the greatest stress in the whole structure. However, even the place with the greatest stress is far less than the maximum yield limit of 455MP of 7075 aluminum, the manufacturing material of the flexible hinge; Next, the amplification factor of the flexible hinge displacement amplification mechanism is simulated in COMSOL. First, a sinusoidal input vibration with a maximum displacement of 10μm is input to both ends of the piezoelectric ceramic 7 according to the sinusoidal law. By measuring the output end, it can be found that the output displacement is 108μm, and the amplification factor is 108 / 20=5.4 times, which meets the amplification requirements.

[0044] See also Figure 1-Figure 9The vertical feeding device 2 includes a bracket 201, a lifting platform 202 arranged on the bracket 201, and a lifting drive mechanism for driving the lifting platform 202 to move vertically, wherein the bracket 201 is installed on the base 1; the lifting drive mechanism includes a lifting motor 203 and a screw transmission mechanism 204, wherein the lifting motor 203 is installed on the bracket 201 through a motor frame; the main shaft of the lifting motor 203 is connected to the screw in the screw transmission mechanism 204, and the screw nut in the screw transmission mechanism 204 is installed on the lifting platform 202; the mounting seat 301 is installed on the lifting platform 202. The lifting motor 203 drives the screw transmission mechanism 204 to work, thereby driving the lifting platform 202 to move up and down, thereby driving the electrolytic processing device 3 to move up and down.
