Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electric spark punching equipment, in particular to a copper tube penetration induction short-circuit prevention device of an electric spark punching machine. Background Art

[0002] Unlike wire-cut EDM machines and forming machines, the EDM perforator uses a hollow copper tube as the electrode for the electric pulse. High-pressure water flows through the small hole in the center of the copper tube, providing cooling and chip removal. Because the discharge between the electrode and the metal generates high-temperature corrosion to achieve the purpose of perforation, it is widely used in precision mold processing. However, during the processing, the copper tube is continuously consumed. When the length of the copper tube cannot meet the processing requirements, it needs to be replaced. EDM perforators generally have a copper tube replacement device, such as CN 116967547. A disclosed rotary clamping device and an automatic copper tube changing device for an electrospark punching machine, as well as a copper tube blanking and tube-piercing device for an electrospark punching machine and an electrospark punching machine disclosed in CN221185002U, both disclose how to change copper tubes. During the punching process, high-pressure water is continuously injected into the copper tube to remove carbon slag generated by the copper tube during the punching process. However, during the actual punching process, when the copper tube just penetrates the workpiece (the hole is not yet fully formed), the water in the copper tube will be discharged along the copper tube, and the water pressure will be relieved, and the water discharge will stop, while the actual workpiece is still not processed. When the copper tube continues to be processed, carbon slag will be generated, resulting in a short circuit and the copper tube will retreat, resulting in low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The frame is a conductor, and a signal line is provided at one end;

[0005] After passing through the workpiece, the copper tube is pressed on the blocking block and pushes the flip plate and the counterweight block to rotate, and the counterweight block contacts the signal line.

[0006] Preferably, the tube body is connected to the machine column via a transverse movement device, and the transverse movement device includes a horizontally arranged double-headed cylinder, the output ends of the double-headed cylinder are respectively fixed to connecting plates, and the tube body is fixed to the connecting plates.

This solution solves the problem that the copper tube cannot completely penetrate the workpiece during punching processing and automatically detects whether the workpiece is completely penetrated after penetrating the workpiece.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, the utility model proposes a copper tube penetration induction anti-short-circuit device for an electric spark punching machine, which is located at the lower part of the workpiece 1 to be processed, and includes a tube body 2 movably connected to the machine column 3, and the tube body 2 can adjust its direction in the horizontal direction, specifically by arranging a transverse movement device 10 on the machine column 3, and the transverse movement device 10 includes a horizontally arranged double-headed cylinder, and the output ends of the double-headed cylinder are respectively fixed with connecting plates 11, and the tube body 2 is fixed on the connecting plate 11. The double-headed cylinder can control the movement of the tube body 2 in the lateral position, thereby adjusting the position of the alignment.

[0023] The pipe body 2 is connected to an auxiliary slag discharge device 4. In this embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary slag discharge device 4 includes a frame 5, and a flip plate 9 is rotatably connected to the frame 5. The frame 5 is a frame-shaped structure, and a pair of hanging ears 12 are provided at the lower part of the frame-shaped structure. The flip plate 9 is connected to the hanging ears 12 by a rotating shaft, and a fixed block is also provided at the end of the flip plate 9 for connecting with the counterweight 6. The counterweight 6 can be set to be cylindrical, and the two circular end faces are connected to the flip plate 9 and are eccentrically fixed on the counterweight 6. Of course, the shape of the counterweight 6 is not limited, and it can be other forms. The eccentric setting can ensure that the heavier end of the counterweight 6 remains at the bottom, ensuring that the flip plate 9 is normally in a raised horizontal state, and a blocking block 7 is provided on the flip plate 9. The blocking block 7 protrudes from the frame 5 and presses on the lower surface of the workpiece 1 to be processed. 5 is provided with a signal line 8 at the end, and the end of the frame 5 close to the counterweight 6 is provided with an insulating material, and the signal line 8 is arranged on the insulating material. The entire frame 5 is a conductor, and the end of the frame 5 away from the counterweight 6 can be connected to the positive pole, and the signal line 8 is connected to the negative pole. During operation, when the copper tube is wire-cut through the workpiece 1 to be processed, it will be pressed on the blocking block 7. At this time, the water in the copper tube is blocked on the blocking block 7, and the internal water will not release pressure, but will achieve a pressure-maintaining state. The flushing continues, and the copper wire can continue to descend, ensuring that the carbon residue in the copper wire is completely removed. When the copper wire descends until the flip plate 9 rotates, and because the counterweight 6 is eccentrically set, the protruding part of the counterweight 6 contacts the signal line 8 to achieve conduction, giving a signal to the host to control the return of the copper tube. The control system of the host is existing technology, and its control principle will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] This embodiment proposes a copper tube penetration induction anti-short circuit device for an electric spark punching machine, which is the same as that in embodiment 1 and is also located at the lower part of the workpiece 1 to be processed. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, it includes a tube body 2 movably connected to the machine column 3. The tube body 2 can adjust its direction in the horizontal direction. Specifically, a transverse movement device 10 is set on the machine column 3. The transverse movement device 10 includes a horizontally arranged double-headed cylinder. The output ends of the double-headed cylinder are respectively fixed to a connecting plate 11. The tube body 2 is fixed to the connecting plate 11. The double-headed cylinder can control the movement of the tube body 2 in the lateral position, thereby adjusting the alignment position. In this embodiment, the end of the tube body 2 is connected to the water pump. The auxiliary slag discharge device 4 includes a water spray block 13. The water spray block 13 is provided with a water spray port 14. The water spray port 14 is connected to the tube body 2. By pumping water into the tube body 2 and the water spray block continuously spraying water upward, water can be continuously sprayed to the end of the copper tube, which can assist in removing carbon slag in the copper tube and ensure that the copper tube does not short-circuit and continues to be perforated.

[0026] In this embodiment, the water spray block is a conductor, the water spray block can be connected to the positive pole, and the copper wire is connected to the negative pole. When it continues to move downward and touches the water spray block, it is conductive, giving a signal to the host to control the return of the copper tube.
