Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1-8The utility model provides a technical solution: a medium-speed wire cutting machine tool taper head moving mechanism, including a U-axis moving mechanism 1, a V-axis moving mechanism 2, a connecting plate 3 arranged above the V-axis moving mechanism 2, a mounting plate 4 arranged below the U-axis moving mechanism 1, and a guide rail seat 5 arranged between the U-axis moving mechanism 1 and the V-axis moving mechanism 2. The U-axis moving mechanism 1 includes a first stepper motor 6, a first screw rod 7 connected to the first stepper motor 6, a first guide rail 8 arranged on the guide rail seat 5, and a first slider 9 arranged on the first guide rail 8. The first screw rod 7 is also provided with a first screw rod nut 10 for connecting with the first slider 9. The first guide rail 8 A through slot 11 is provided at the connection with the guide rail seat 5, and the V-axis moving mechanism 2 includes a second stepping motor 12, a second screw rod 13 connected to the second stepping motor 12, a second guide rail 14 arranged on the guide rail seat 5 and a second slider 15 arranged on the second guide rail 14. The second screw rod 13 is also provided with a second screw nut 16 for connecting with the second slider 15. A through slot 11 is also provided at the connection between the second guide rail 14 and the guide rail seat 5, and a cylindrical pin 17 is fixedly installed in the through slot 11. An elastic pad 18 is provided on the guide rail seat 5 near the first stepping motor 6 and the second stepping motor 12, and a limit plate 19 is also provided between the two elastic pads 18.

[0027] Specifically, the connecting plate 3 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 20 for mounting the taper head. By providing the mounting holes 20 , the connecting plate 3 can ensure accurate installation and rapid replacement of the taper head.

[0028] Specifically, elastic washers 21 are provided on both sides of the cylindrical pin 17. By providing the elastic washers 21 on both sides of the cylindrical pin 17, the moving mechanism can be well supported during the movement process to prevent the loss of accuracy due to vibration or impact. The use of the elastic washers 21 increases the buffering performance of the mechanism, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the movement of the taper head.

[0029] Specifically, the first stepper motor 6 and the first screw rod 7 are connected through a coupling 22, and the second stepper motor 12 and the second screw rod 13 are connected through a coupling 22. Furthermore, a first protective cover 23 is provided on the outer side of the first stepper motor 6, and a first through hole 25 is provided on the first protective cover 23 for penetrating the first screw rod 7. A second protective cover 24 is also provided on the outer side of the second stepper motor 12, and a second through hole 26 is provided on the second protective cover 24 for penetrating the second screw rod 13. Through the above arrangement, the first stepper motor 6 and the second stepper motor 12 are effectively protected during operation, avoiding damage to the motors by external factors such as dust and cutting fluid, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0030] Specifically, a short handle limit switch 27 is fixedly connected to the elastic pad 18. By setting the short handle limit switch 27, the tapered head moving mechanism can automatically stop when reaching a predetermined position, ensuring the safety and accuracy of the operation. The use of the short handle limit switch 27 improves the response speed and reliability of the system.

[0031] Specifically, the elastic pad 18 is connected to the guide rail base 5 via hexagon socket countersunk bolts 28. The use of hexagon socket countersunk bolts 28 provides a more secure connection between the elastic pad 18 and the guide rail base 5, while also facilitating disassembly and maintenance. The use of hexagon socket countersunk bolts 28 not only enhances the stability of the connection but also reduces the risk of accidental scratches or damage caused by protruding bolts.

[0032] Furthermore, the contact surfaces between the first screw nut 10 and the second screw nut 16 and the guide rail seat 5 are provided with through holes 29 for passing the hexagonal countersunk bolts 28. By providing the through holes 29, the contact surfaces between the first screw nut 10 and the second screw nut 16 will not be unable to move due to the hexagonal countersunk bolts 28, thereby effectively improving the working efficiency of the moving mechanism.

[0033] A specific application example of this embodiment is:

[0034] When using this device, the operator inputs the corresponding taper head movement parameters, including movement distance, speed, and direction, through the control panel based on the processing requirements. After entering the parameters, the machine tool is started. The first stepper motor 6 and the second stepper motor 12 will drive the first and second screws 7 and 13 to rotate according to the input instructions. The first and second screw nuts 10 and 16 drive the first and second slides 9 and 15 to move on the first and second guide rails 8 and 14, thereby causing the taper head to move in the U and V directions. By providing through-slots 11 at the connection between the first and second guide rails 8 and 14 and the guide rail base 5 on both sides and installing cylindrical pins 17 with elastic washers 21, the moving mechanism has better stability and positioning accuracy during operation. The design of the through-slots 11 allows the cylindrical pin 17 to have a certain amount of displacement space when subjected to external forces. The elastic pad 18 is a rubber pad, which can absorb vibrations generated during processing, reduce direct impact on the guide rail base 5, enhance the stability of the moving mechanism, and thus improve working accuracy.
