Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medium-speed wire EDM machines, specifically a waterproof groove for medium-speed wire EDM machines. Background Technology
[0002] Medium-speed wire EDM machines belong to the category of reciprocating high-speed wire EDM machines. They achieve multiple cutting functions on high-speed reciprocating wire EDM machines and are commonly known as "medium-speed wire EDM". Medium-speed wire EDM is a type of wire EDM machine. Its working principle is to use a continuously moving molybdenum wire (called the electrode wire) as the electrode to perform pulse spark discharge on the workpiece to remove metal and cut it into shape. Its wire feed speed and workpiece quality are between fast and slow wire EDM, hence the name medium-speed wire EDM. To be precise, medium-speed wire EDM is an upgraded product of fast wire EDM, so it can also be called a fast wire EDM that can cut multiple times. Therefore, its processing speed is close to that of slow wire EDM, and the processing quality is also close to that of slow wire EDM. The wire feed speed is between 1 and 12 mm / s and can be adjusted as needed.
[0003] During the machining process, a medium-speed wire EDM machine is needed to cut the parts with dimensional accuracy. In order to protect the medium-speed wire EDM machine and facilitate the collection of cooling water to prevent it from flowing around, a waterproof tank is required. However, the existing waterproof tanks cannot effectively dissipate heat and cool the coolant inside. If the coolant temperature inside the waterproof tank is too high, it can easily affect the performance of the medium-speed wire EDM machine and cause errors in machining accuracy.
