Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mold part production and processing, and specifically relates to a thimble electrical discharge machining fixture. Background Technique

[0002] Injection molds are important process equipment for producing various industrial products. With the rapid development of the plastics industry and the popularization and application of plastic products in industrial sectors such as aviation, aerospace, electronics, machinery, ships, and automobiles, the application scope of injection molds is becoming more and more extensive. A thimble is a common injection mold accessory used in injection molds. Thimbles can also be called ejector pins, insert pins, center pins, support pins, etc. Electrical discharge machining is a type of non-traditional machining technology and is widely used in the mold manufacturing and machining industries. Electrical discharge machining can be used to machine super-hard materials and workpieces with complex shapes that are difficult to machine by traditional cutting methods. It is usually used to machine conductive materials and can machine complex cavities or contours on difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium alloys, tool steels, carbon steels, and cemented carbides. During the production process of thimbles, electrical discharge machining treatment needs to be carried out on the thimbles;

[0003] Chinese publicly authorized invention: CN219786868U discloses a thimble electrical discharge machining fixture, including a pressure plate, support columns, a lifting plate, and a limit sleeve: the pressure plate and the lifting plate are arranged side by side, and there is an installation gap between the lifting plate and the pressure plate for installing the thimble structure; one end of the support column is arranged on the pressure plate, and the other end of the support column is movably connected to the lifting plate; the limit sleeve is movably connected to the support column and is connected to the lifting plate, and the limit sleeve can be adjusted from a first position on the support column to a second position to drive the lifting plate to move towards or away from the pressure plate;

[0004] However, there are still certain problems with its device. During actual use, since each limit sleeve needs to be adjusted individually, when facing a large number of thimbles or when different-height thimbles need to be replaced frequently, this method of adjusting one by one is not only time-consuming and laborious but also affects the processing efficiency. Therefore, we propose a thimble electrical discharge machining fixture to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
