[0019] The following will be combined with specific embodiments and attached Figure 1-7 , clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model.

[0020] A parallel processing device based on electric arc and electric spark comprises a frame 1, two tool drive control units 2 are arranged on the left and right sides of the top of the frame 1, the two tool drive control units 2 are symmetrically distributed on the frame 1, the tool drive control unit 2 is slidably connected to a moving frame 3, the moving frame 3 is slidably connected to the frame 1, the tool drive control unit 2 cooperates with the moving frame 3 to freely adjust the tool space position, and performs three-dimensional space position adjustment, the tool drive control unit 2 comprises a tool drive motor 21, a belt 22 is sleeved on the output shaft of the tool drive motor 21, and is connected to a hollow spindle 23 through the belt 22, and the bottom end of the hollow spindle 23 is fixedly connected A tubular electrode 24 is connected, a conductive slip ring 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the tubular electrode 24, a high-speed rotary joint 26 is slidably connected to the top of the conductive slip ring 25, and the high-speed rotary joint 26 is used to connect to a power source, the power source is connected to the high-speed rotary joint 26, and the high-speed rotary joint 26 is slidably connected to the conductive slip ring 25, so that the conductive slip ring 25 can slide relatively freely while the high-speed rotary joint 26 can still transmit electricity to the conductive slip ring 25, and the electric energy is finally transmitted to the tubular electrode 24 at the bottom, so that the tubular electrode 24 can interact with the workpiece, and the tool drive motor 21 drives the tubular electrode 24 to rotate at a high speed, and the high-speed rotation of the tubular electrode 24 can improve the milling accuracy.

[0021] A tool module 27 is provided on the outer side of the conductive slip ring 25. The tool module 27 is cylindrical and is fixedly connected to the lower part of the high-speed rotary joint 26. The tool module 27 does not contact the conductive slip ring 25 and its lower part to prevent affecting its operation. The tool drive motor 21 will drive the hollow spindle 23, the tubular electrode 24 and the conductive slip ring 25 to rotate at a high speed. The drive motor is fixedly connected to the tool module 27. The tool module 27 is slidably connected to one side of a motion module 28. The tool module 27 moves vertically. It is connected to one side of the motion module 28 for sliding in the vertical direction. A Y-axis drive motor 281 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the motion module 28.

The two ends of the mobile frame 3 are simultaneously mounted on the Z-axis lead screw 34, which helps to ensure the accuracy and stability of the mobile frame 3.

[0024] A milling processing working unit 4 is correspondingly provided below the two tool drive control units 2, and the milling processing working unit 4 includes two clamping tables 41, and the two clamping tables 41 are respectively correspondingly arranged below the two tool drive control units 2, and the clamping table 41 includes a clamping plate 42, and a support seat 43 is provided at the lower part of the clamping plate 42, and an α degree of freedom motor 44 is fixedly connected to the support seat 43, and the output shaft of the α degree of freedom motor 44 is transmission-connected to the clamping plate 42, and the α degree of freedom motor 44 can drive the clamping plate 42 to rotate, and adjust the posture of the clamped workpiece on the clamping plate 42, and both ends of the support seat 43 are rotatably connected to a support base 46, and a β degree of freedom motor 45 is fixedly connected to the support base 46, and the β degree of freedom motor 45 is used to realize the rotational connection between the support base and the support seat 43, and the β degree of freedom motor 45 can drive the support seat 43 to rotate, thereby further increasing the adjustment range of the workpiece. The support base 46 is slidably connected to the lower part of the frame 1, and the lower part of the frame 1 is rotatably connected to two adjustment screws 47. The two adjustment screws 47 are driven by two adjustment motors 48, and the adjustment motor 48 is electrically connected to the numerical control unit 5 and controlled by the electrical signal of the numerical control unit 5.

The power supply unit 6 also provides a high-power circuit, the negative pole of the high-power circuit is connected to the rotary joint, and the positive pole is connected to the clamping plate 42. After the high-power circuit is connected, an electric spark or an arc can be formed between the workpiece and the tubular electrode 24. When the input current is a pulse current, and the workpiece and the tubular electrode 24 are immersed in spark oil or deionized water solution at the same time, the tubular electrode 24 can perform an electric spark milling process on the surface of the workpiece. This process is a prior art. When the input power is stabilized direct current, the high-power voltage may break through the air, causing the tubular electrode 24 to form an arc with the workpiece, so that arc milling can be performed.
