Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrode wire structures, in particular to an electrode wire structure for discharging in a slow-moving wire cutting machine. Background Art
[0002] Slow wire cutting, also known as low-speed wire cutting, is a CNC machining machine that uses a continuously moving thin metal wire as an electrode to perform pulse spark discharge on the workpiece, generating a high temperature of over 6000 degrees, etching the metal and cutting it into the workpiece.
[0003] In the prior art, the electrode structure of the slow-moving wire cutting machine is generally composed of a conductive block made of tungsten steel alloy in contact with the cutting wire for power supply. However, in such electrode wire structures in the prior art, the position of the conductive block is fixed. As the wire moves slowly, grooves are gradually scratched on the surface of the conductive block. Once a groove appears, the cutting wire is easily stuck. In this way, the electrode block often needs to be replaced in just a few days, and the loss is high. Therefore, to address this problem, there is a need for an improved electrode wire structure for discharge in the slow-moving wire cutting machine. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, a telescopic rod is fixedly provided on the upper end of the slide rail, and the movable end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the mounting block. The telescopic rod and the mounting block can push the graphite electrode to be tightly attached to the outer surface of the conductive wheel through the gravity of the telescopic rod and the mounting block.
[0007] Preferably, a spring is provided inside the telescopic rod, and the spring can push the telescopic rod to extend under the elastic action of the spring, thereby further pushing the graphite electrode to fit the surface of the conductive wheel.
[0008] Preferably, the conductive wheel, rotating shaft and guide wheel are all made of conductive metal materials, so that an external power source can be connected to the graphite electrode and then transmitted to the cutting wire through the graphite electrode, the conductive wheel, the rotating shaft and the guide wheel; thereby, power supply can be completed, and when the cutting wire moves, the guide wheel can rotate together to reduce friction and reduce maintenance. No matter how much friction loss the graphite electrode and the conductive wheel suffer, it will not affect the movement of the cutting wire, and the graphite electrode can be used until it is only slightly worn out and then replaced, thereby significantly reducing the frequency of electrode replacement.
[0009] Preferably, a groove is formed on the outer side of the conductive wheel, which can serve as a position limit for the graphite electrode.
[0010] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly provided on one side of the surface of the fixing frame, a guide ring is fixedly provided on the lower end of the fixing rod, and the cutting wire is sleeved inside the guide ring, and the movement stability of the cutting wire can be ensured by the guide ring.
