Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wire cutting and wire feeding, and in particular to a full-automatic wire feeding structure for medium-speed wire cutting. BACKGROUND

[0002] Wire cutting processing is a special processing method that uses a metal wire (electrode wire) as a tool electrode to perform electrical discharge machining on a workpiece. It generates high temperature through pulse discharge between the electrode wire and the workpiece, melts or vaporizes the workpiece material, and thus realizes cutting processing of the workpiece. The medium-speed wire cutting machine tool is developed on the basis of the fast-speed wire cutting machine tool. It not only retains the characteristics of high processing efficiency of the fast-speed wire cutting machine tool, but also significantly improves the processing precision and surface quality through multiple cutting and frequency control and other technical means, so that the processing effect approaches that of the slow-speed wire cutting machine tool, and the cost is relatively low. Therefore, it occupies an important position in the domestic market.

[0003] The existing medium-speed wire feeding methods include the following: 1. Manual wire feeding. The operator needs to manually pull the electrode wire out of the wire barrel according to the processing requirements, and pass through a series of guide rollers, conductive blocks and other components, and finally fix it at the starting position of the workpiece processing. This method has many disadvantages. First, the manual wire feeding process is complicated and time-consuming, which seriously affects the processing efficiency, especially when the electrode wire needs to be frequently replaced or multiple workpieces need to be continuously processed, the problem of low efficiency is more prominent. Second, it is difficult to ensure the uniformity and stability of the electrode wire tension. Different operating methods and experiences of different operators will cause differences in the tension of the electrode wire each time the wire is fed, and uneven tension will directly affect the processing precision and surface quality, which may increase the size deviation of the cut workpiece and deteriorate the surface roughness, and even cause wire breakage during processing, affecting the continuity and stability of the processing. 2. Semi-automatic wire feeding. In order to improve the shortcomings of manual wire feeding, some medium-speed wire cutting machine tools are equipped with semi-automatic wire feeding devices. This device usually adds some auxiliary mechanisms such as simple wire barrel driving devices or tension adjusting mechanisms on the basis of manual wire feeding, which can reduce the labor intensity of the operator to a certain extent and improve the convenience of wire feeding speed and tension control. However, the semi-automatic wire feeding method still cannot realize completely automatic operation. During the wire feeding process, the operator still needs to intervene a lot, for example, when replacing the electrode wire, the operator needs to manually disassemble the old wire and install the new wire, and then adjust it through the semi-automatic device. In addition, the semi-automatic wire feeding device has limited automation, and for some complex processing tasks such as processing of workpieces made of different materials, switching of different processing parameters, etc., it cannot automatically adjust the wire feeding parameters according to the actual situation, and still relies on the experience and judgment of the operator, which is easy to cause processing errors due to human negligence, and cannot fully exert the performance advantages of the medium-speed wire cutting machine tool. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a full-automatic wire feeding structure for medium-speed wire cutting. The utility model discloses a kind of full-automatic wire feeding structures of middle wire cutting, which can realize the full-automatic wire feeding of electrode wire, and the electrode wire can be automatically fed to the subsequent component.

[0004] To solve the problem of inconvenient operation of manual wire feeding and semi-automatic wire feeding, the present application provides a full-automatic wire feeding structure of middle wire cutting.

[0005] The full-automatic wire feeding structure of middle wire cutting provided by the present application includes a base plate serving as a carrier of the whole wire feeding structure, a guide wheel mounted on the base plate for guiding, a motor assembly mounted above the base plate for driving the movement of electrode wire, and a receiving pipe provided on the output side of the motor assembly.

[0006] The motor assembly is arranged to convey the electrode wire, and the outlet position of the conveying is guided by the receiving pipe. After the electrode wire enters the receiving pipe, the drive assembly drives the axial displacement of the sleeve pipe, realizing the transmission of the electrode wire to the subsequent component, thereby realizing the full-automatic threading of the electrode wire, reducing the degree of human involvement, and improving the threading efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a guide rail assembly arranged on the base plate, a sliding block in the guide rail assembly is bolted and fixedly connected with a sliding frame, and a guide rail body in the guide rail assembly is bolted and fixedly connected with the base plate.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly further includes a ratchet arranged in parallel with the guide rail assembly, and a motor two is bolted and fixedly connected below the base plate, and the output end of the motor two is drivingly connected with the ratchet through a gear.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the sliding frame is bolted and fixedly connected with the sliding block and the ratchet on both sides, so that the ratchet and the sliding block operate synchronously.

[0010] Preferably, the motor assembly includes a bracket arranged above the base plate, a motor one is mounted on the bracket, the output end of the motor one is sleeved with a driving wheel, and the driving wheel is located on the inner side of the bracket.

[0011] Preferably, the bracket is bolted and fixedly connected with a fixed plate on both sides, the receiving pipe is fixed on the fixed plate on the output side of the motor assembly, and a feeding pipe is mounted on the fixed plate on the input side, the axes of the feeding pipe and the receiving pipe are tangent to one side of the driving wheel, and the axes of the end portions of the feeding pipe and the receiving pipe are arranged in line.

[0012] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] By setting the motor assembly on the line of the electrode wire layout, the driving wheel and the external auxiliary wheel of the motor assembly are matched to drive the electrode wire, the electrode wire moves along the receiving pipe under the action of the receiving pipe, and under the cooperation of the clamping rack, the guide rail and the sleeve of the driving assembly, it is directly transmitted to the next group of positions of the wire cutting machine, so as to realize the full-automatic wire feeding of the electrode wire, compared with the prior art, it has higher efficiency, and the operation convenience is also improved.
