[0020] Refer Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a quadrilateral fixture for electrical discharge machining a square punch rod includes a fixture body 1 with a straight prism structure. A clamping cavity 11 penetrating its top and bottom surfaces is provided inside the fixture body 1. One dihedral angle of the clamping cavity 11 is a clamping angle, and the size of its angle is the same as the size of the dihedral angle at one side edge of the square punch rod to be machined. An installation surface 12 is provided on the outer wall of the fixture body 1 along its axial direction. The installation surface 12 is perpendicular to the angular bisecting plane of the clamping angle. A clamping bolt 2 is provided inside the installation surface 12. The clamping bolt 2 is connected to the fixture body 1 through a threaded structure and extends into the clamping cavity 11.

[0021] In this technical solution, the fixture body is a straight quadrangular prism structure, which is directly processed by existing square steel, etc. A clamping cavity is arranged in the fixture body along its axial direction, and the clamping cavity runs through the bottom and top surfaces of the fixture body. A mounting surface is processed at the side edge relative to the clamping angle, and a threaded through hole perpendicular to the axial direction of the fixture body is processed in the mounting surface for setting a clamping bolt. When in use, the fixture body can be directly placed on the disk of the spark machine, and the punch to be processed is placed in the clamping cavity, and is clamped to the clamping angle in the clamping cavity by the clamping bolt. The two surfaces of the clamping angle are respectively attached to the two side surfaces of the punch, and cooperate with the clamping bolt to clamp the punch from three directions to ensure sufficient clamping Tightening force, at the same time, the two surfaces of the clamping angle are respectively fitted to the two side surfaces of the punch rod, that is, the axial direction of the punch rod is parallel to the axial direction of the clamping cavity, that is, the top surface of the punch rod is perpendicular to the electrode of the spark machine, which reduces the time for adjusting the reference and improves the processing efficiency; the square clamp used for discharge machining of the square punch rod has a simple structure, and the square punch rod is clamped by the clamping bolts and the side walls corresponding to the clamping angle, with a wide contact area and a more stable clamping effect. Under the action of the clamping bolts, the punch rod is simultaneously held against the two side walls of the clamping angle, automatically perpendicular to the bottom and top surfaces of the clamp, reducing the time for adjusting the reference, and the clamping cavity can accommodate the clamping needs of punches of various specifications, thereby expanding the scope of application.

[0022] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, abutment rod 3 is slidably provided at one end of clamping bolt 2 near the square punch to be processed, and abutment boss 31 is provided at the end of abutment rod 3 away from clamping bolt 2, and the outer end surface of abutment boss 31 is concavely provided with V-shaped groove 311 corresponding to the square punch to be processed.

[0023] In this technical solution, a connecting hole is machined along the axial direction of the tail of the clamping bolt, and the abutment rod is a T-shaped shaft structure, which is slidably connected to the connecting hole and does not interfere with the rotation of the clamping bolt. The outer end surface of the abutment boss is concavely provided with a V-shaped groove corresponding to the square punch to be processed. It abuts against the surface of the square punch to be processed through the V-shaped groove, avoiding direct abutment against the side edge of the punch, thereby improving the reliability and stability of clamping.

[0024] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, a spring 4 is arranged between the abutting boss 31 and the clamping bolt 2 , and the spring 4 is sleeved on the abutting rod 3 .

[0025] In this technical solution, the clamping bolt acts axially in front of the abutment rod, and the abutment rod is elastically abutted against the surface of the punch rod through the action of the spring, which facilitates clamping.

[0026] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, the end surface of the abutment rod 3 facing away from the V-shaped groove is a spherical structure.

[0027] In this technical solution, a ball-end countersinking cutter is used to machine connection holes such as these. The bottom of the connection hole is a spherical structure. The length of the abutting rod is greater than the depth of the connection hole. When the clamping bolt is tightened, the bottom of the connection hole abuts against the corresponding end of the abutting rod, the V-groove abuts against the surface of the square punch rod to be machined, and the punch rod is fixed. The bottom of the connection hole and the end of the abutting rod are in spherical contact to prevent the abutting rod from rotating with the workpiece.

[0028] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 1 as shown, the number of clamping bolts 2 is at least two.

[0029] In this technical solution, multi-point locking is used to improve the clamping strength of the punch rod.

[0030] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 1 as shown, the central axis of the clamping bolt 2 is perpendicular to the axis of the fixture body and coplanar with the angular bisecting plane of the clamping angle.

[0031] In this technical solution, the clamping bolt acts perpendicularly on the punch rod, and the acting forces of the two planes of the clamping angle on the punch rod are equal in magnitude, improving the stability of the punch rod clamping.

[0032] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 1 as shown, a self-locking nut 5 is provided on the clamping bolt 2, and the self-locking nut 5 is arranged outside the clamping cavity 11.

[0033] In this technical solution, a conventional hexagonal nut can be selected as the self-locking nut, which is matched with the threaded through hole in the installation surface to lock the position of the clamping bolt and prevent the clamping bolt from loosening due to vibration or the like during the machining process.

[0034] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, the cross-section of the clamping cavity 11 is square.

[0035] In this technical solution, the cross-section of the clamping cavity is square and is used to machine punch rods with a regular quadrangular prism structure. To improve the material utilization rate, the inner wall of the clamping cavity is parallel to the side wall of the fixture body close to it, and the clamping cavity can accommodate the clamping requirements of various specifications of punch rods, expanding the scope of use.

[0036] In summary, the square-shaped fixture for electrical discharge machining of square punch rods has a simple structure. The square punch rod is clamped by the clamping bolt and the side walls of the corresponding clamping angle, with a wide contact area and a more stable clamping effect. Under the action of the clamping bolt, the punch rod abuts against the two side walls of the clamping angle at the same time, automatically perpendicular to the bottom and top surfaces of the fixture, reducing the time for adjusting the calibration reference. The clamping cavity can accommodate the clamping requirements of various specifications of punch rods, expanding the scope of application.

[0037] It should be noted that in this text, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "comprising an..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the said element.

[0038] The above are only specific embodiments of the present application. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
