However, during the EDM process, the stability of the electrode directly affects the processing accuracy and workpiece quality.

[0003] In the prior art, the electrode is usually fixed to the EDM machine by a clamping device, but when the electrode rotates at high speed, it is easy to swing due to the influence of centrifugal force and mechanical vibration.

In addition, the diversity of electrode sizes also requires the clamping device to have good adaptability to meet the stable clamping requirements of electrodes of different diameters and lengths.

[0004] Therefore, the development of an electrode clamping device that can not only stably support electrodes of different specifications but also effectively suppress the rotation and swing of the electrode has important practical significance and broad application prospects for improving the overall performance of EDM machines and ensuring processing quality and production efficiency.

[0042] Specifically, a transmission gear 210 is arranged in the middle of the inner cavity of the assembly shell 200, and a center transmission gear 211 is arranged on the rear side of the transmission gear 210, wherein the inner cavities of the transmission gear 210 and the center transmission gear 211 are jointly sleeved with a transmission shaft 213, and the transmission shaft 213 is used to shift the transmission gear 210 and the center transmission gear 211 to make them rotate, and the front end of the transmission shaft 213 passes through the outside of the assembly shell 200 and is connected to a turning handle, wherein the surface of the transmission shaft 213 is movably connected to the connection with the assembly shell 200 through a bearing.

Therefore, under the cooperation of the adjustable insulating wheel group 240 and the fixed insulating wheel group 320, it can make active contact with the surface of the electric rod and limit it to prevent it from swinging during rotation. Under the further limitation of the side insulating wheel group 440, the stability of the adjustable insulating wheel group 240 and the fixed insulating wheel group 320 in resisting and limiting the electric rod is greatly improved, so as to stabilize the electric rod during work.
