Sinking grooves 6 are opened on both sides of the top of the slider 5, and the electrode can be clamped between the sinking grooves 6 on the side where two adjacent sliders 5 are close to each other.

[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, a cavity 7 corresponding to the sinking groove 6 is opened inside the slider 5 , a pressure sensor 8 is installed in the cavity 7 , and an elastic mechanism 9 is provided between the sinking groove 6 and the cavity 7 .

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, the elastic mechanism 9 includes a cylinder 91 that passes through the slider 5, one end of the cylinder 91 is located in the sinking groove 6, the other end of the cylinder 91 extends into the cavity 7 and is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 92, and a spring 93 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate 92 away from the cylinder 91, and the end of the spring 93 away from the limiting plate 92 contacts the pressure sensor 8.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the guide shaft 4 passes through the slider 5 , and the slider 5 is slidably matched with the outer wall of the guide shaft 4 , and the guide shaft 4 plays a guiding role for the slider 5 .

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, one end of the screw rod 3 is fixedly connected with an adjusting head 31 , and the adjusting head 31 is a hexagonal structure and is used in conjunction with a hexagonal wrench, so that the operator can conveniently control the rotation of the screw rod 3 .

[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the pressure sensor 8 is a thin film pressure sensor 8 of model FSR402 from Comex.

[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, the diameters of the screw rod 3 and the guide shaft 4 are both 16 mm, the length of the screw rod 3 is 380 mm, the length of the guide shaft 4 is 350 mm, and the screw rod 3 and the guide shaft 4 are both precision round steel material components.

[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, the number of sliders 5 between the two supports 2 is 3-10, that is, the number of clamped electrodes is 2-9, and the supports 2 can be arranged in several rows according to needs; according to the number of rows of the supports 2 and the number of clamped electrodes, for example, the supports 2 are arranged in 2 rows, and the number of clamps is 5, that is, two rows of 5 workstations.

[0031] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0032] According to the size of the electrode, the distance between the sinking grooves 6 on one side of two adjacent sliders 5 is slightly larger than the size of the electrode. The screw rod 3 is rotated by cooperating with the hexagonal wrench and the adjusting head 31. The screw rod 3 drives the multiple sliders 5 connected with the screw rod 3 to move synchronously. The distance between two adjacent sliders 5 is the same. The sliders 5 are adjusted to the required position, and the electrode is placed in the sinking groove 6 between the two sliders 5. The screw rod 3 is rotated in the opposite direction to move the sliders 5 to clamp the electrode. Multiple electrodes can be fixed at one time, and each electrode can be evenly distributed, which is convenient for the corresponding processing equipment to perform batch processing. The structure is simple, easy to operate and use, and the efficiency is improved.

[0033] During the clamping process, the electrode is in the sinking groove 6 and contacts the cylinder 91. As the distance between the two adjacent sliders 5 becomes smaller for clamping, the cylinder 91 in contact with the electrode moves relatively toward the cavity 7. When the cylinder 91 moves, it drives the limit plate 92 to move and squeeze the spring 93, so that the spring 93 is compressed and generates pressure on the pressure sensor 8. When the edge of the electrode is in close contact with the vertical wall of the sinking groove 6, the spring 93 is squeezed to the shortest state. At this time, the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 8 is stable, and the rotation of the screw 3 is stopped. While fixing the electrode, it also avoids damage to the electrode surface due to excessive clamping pressure.

[0034] The electronic components and modules used in the content of this utility model can all be parts that are commonly used in the market and can realize the specific functions in this case, and the specific models and sizes can be selected and adjusted according to actual needs. The electronic components and modules are all connected to an external power supply and a control switch for use. Their specific circuit connection methods and methods of use are commonly used public technologies and will not be elaborated on here.

[0035] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model; however, the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solution and improved ideas of the utility model within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
