Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal workpiece processing tooling, in particular to a wire cutting die frame. Background Art

[0002] In titanium metal 3D printing additive manufacturing, wire cutting is generally used to separate the workpiece from the corresponding metal substrate. Due to the large size of the titanium metal substrate, the workpiece is printed flat in the 3D printing process. When the substrate with the workpiece is transferred to the wire cutting process, it needs to be placed vertically for processing. Currently, the substrate is directly placed on the wire cutting equipment frame and fixed by the weight of the substrate. This has the following defects: 1. There is no reference positioning device. The processing plane needs to be re-calibrated each time the substrate is replaced, which affects the wire cutting efficiency and takes a long time. In addition, the processing quality is greatly affected by the processing experience of the personnel; 2. It is fixed by the weight of the substrate, which has the risk of tipping over, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model proposes a wire cutting die frame to solve the problems of low wire cutting efficiency, long time consumption, processing quality affected by personnel processing experience, and the risk of tipping.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a wire cutting die frame, including a support frame 1, a fixed plate 2 and two clamping devices 3. The support frame 1 is installed on a wire cutting equipment frame (the wire cutting equipment frame is not shown in the figure), and the fixed plate 2 is arranged on one side of the support frame 1. The fixed plate 2 is located on the side of the support frame 1 away from the wire cutting equipment frame. The two clamping devices 3 are respectively arranged at both ends of the fixed plate 2. The clamping device 3 includes a movable clamping block 31, and both ends of the base plate 4 are provided with a clamping groove 41. When the base plate 4 is placed on the side of the fixed plate 2 away from the support frame 1, the base plate 4 is fixed to the fixed plate 2 by clamping the clamping block 31 into the clamping groove 41.

[0027] During use, the wire cutting die frame is fixed to the wire cutting equipment frame through the support frame 1, and the fixing plate 2 is calibrated. It only needs to be installed and calibrated for the first time. In subsequent use, the substrate 4 can be placed against the fixing plate 2 to achieve fast positioning and fast fixing functions, which can ensure the processing quality, greatly reduce the waste of personnel movements, and effectively reduce the quality problems caused by manual correction; through two clamping devices 3, after the substrate 4 is placed against the fixing plate 2, the clamping block 31 is clamped into the clamping slot 41, so that the substrate 4 is pressed tightly against the fixing plate 2.

[0028] The support frame 1 secures and supports the entire fixed plate 2, ensuring the flatness and verticality of the fixed plate 2. After the fixed plate 2 is leveled once, the back of the substrate 4 is placed against the fixed plate 2, and the clamping device 3 is activated to engage the clamping block 31 with the clamping slot 41, so that the substrate 4 is tightly fixed against the fixed plate 2. This eliminates the need for manual correction of the machining plane after each installation of the fixed plate 2, shortening production time, improving wire cutting efficiency, and avoiding machining errors and reduced yields due to human factors. At the same time, the clamping device 3 prevents the substrate 4 from tipping over after securing it.

[0029] The clamping block 31 can be rotated or translated. In this embodiment, the clamping block 31 is rotated to press the substrate 4. When the substrate 4 is placed on the side of the fixing plate 2 away from the support frame 1, the clamping block 31 is rotated 90 degrees so that the clamping block 31 changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state (such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 ), thereby fixing the substrate 4 on the fixed plate 2. Preferably, the pressing device 3 also includes a drive motor 32, the output shaft of which is connected to the clamping block 31, which has a higher degree of automation. When the substrate 4 is placed on the side of the fixed plate 2 away from the support frame 1, the drive motor 32 is started and drives the clamping block 31 to rotate 90° so that the clamping block 31 changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state, thereby fixing the substrate 4 on the fixed plate 2; after the wire cutting is completed, the drive motor 32 is started and drives the clamping block 31 to rotate 90° in the opposite direction so that the clamping block 31 changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state, at which time the substrate 4 can be removed from the fixed plate 2.

Multiple vertical plates 11 are arranged in parallel, and the horizontal plate 12 is arranged between two adjacent vertical plates 11.

After adjustment, the bolts at the ends of the horizontal plate 12 are passed through the adjustment slots 114 and then screwed onto nuts to secure the horizontal plate 12.

[0033] Preferably, the support frame 1 further includes a bottom plate 13 , which is disposed at the lower end of the vertical plate 11 , and the vertical plate 11 is used to support the vertical plate 11 , thereby increasing the force applied to the support frame 1 .

[0034] Preferably, a plurality of slots 131 are provided on the base plate 13, and the lower end of a vertical plate 11 is inserted into one of the slots 131. By providing a plurality of slots 131 on the base plate 13, the position of the vertical plate 11 inserted into the base plate 13 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the size of the support frame 1, and the operator can adjust it according to needs.

[0035] Preferably, a through hole 115 extending transversely therethrough is provided on the vertical plate 11 . The provision of the through hole 115 can reduce the weight of the vertical plate 11 .
