Therefore, the combination of the rotary adjustment table 1 and the horizontal adjustment table 2 allows the graphite electrode 5 to be finely adjusted at multiple angles when performing EDM on the product 6. This enables more accurate positioning when machining products with deep curved surfaces, thereby ensuring the quality and dimensional accuracy of the product machining.

[0036] The horizontal adjustment platform 2 includes a horizontal adjustment base 201, which includes a horizontal base plate 2011 and an adjustment ball 2012. The adjustment ball 2012 is connected to a retaining seat 202, which can be positioned relative to the adjustment ball 2012 at multiple angles. There are two or more retaining seats 202; in this embodiment, two retaining seats 202 are provided. The retaining seats 202 are connected by bolts.

When two retaining seats 202 are connected together, the space formed by their inner spherical grooves 2022 can accommodate one adjustment ball 2012. Therefore, after the two retaining seats 202 are connected together, they can rotate around the outer periphery of the adjustment ball 2012.

[0037] A spring 203 is arranged between the horizontal adjusting base 201 and the embracing seat body 202, the adjusting screw 204 is threadedly connected with the leveling plate 2021, the end of the adjusting screw 204 abuts against the horizontal base plate 2011, and rotating the adjusting screw 204 can adjust the angle between the leveling plate 2021 and the horizontal base plate 2011, and the spring 203 is beneficial to keeping a certain stability between the horizontal adjusting base 201 and the embracing seat body 202 when the adjusting screw 204 is not completely adjusted, so that the embracing seat body 202 will not shake due to being collided, and the position of the embracing seat body 202 is convenient for the operator to adjust.

[0038] The embracing seat body 202 is further provided with a conical hole 2023 which is communicated with the inner spherical groove 2022, the inner diameter of the small end of the conical hole 2023 is close to the spherical groove 2022, the adjusting ball 2012 is fixed with the horizontal base plate 2011 through a cylinder, the cylinder is inserted into the conical hole 2023, and thus the end of the cylinder connected with the horizontal base plate 2011 is located at the large-diameter end of the conical hole 2023, so that the embracing seat body 202 can swing within the taper range of the conical hole 2023, thereby the angle between the leveling plate 2021 and the horizontal base plate 2011 can be adjusted, the angle of the connecting assembly 3 connected with the embracing seat body 202 is set through setting the angle between the leveling plate 2021 and the horizontal base plate 2011, and thus the relative angle between the lower end of the graphite electrode 5 and the product 6 is adjusted, which is convenient for the graphite electrode 5 to process the product 6 with different shapes in different swing directions.

[0039] The quick clamping assembly 4 comprises a clamping base 401, clamping air cylinders 402 are arranged on both sides of the clamping base 401, the clamping air cylinders 402 are connected with clamping blocks 403 which are slidingly connected in the clamping base 401.

[0040] The connecting assembly 3 comprises a first connecting plate 301, an extension rod body 302, and a connecting seat body 303, the connecting seat body 303 is provided with a connecting sliding groove 3031, the clamping base 401 is provided with a connecting sliding rail 4011, the connecting sliding rail 4011 is inserted into the connecting sliding groove 3031. The connecting seat body 303 is connected with a fixing bolt 304, the fixing bolt 304 is screwed with the connecting sliding rail 4011. When the graphite electrode 5 is replaced, if the seat limiting block 501 and the seat clamping block 502 of the graphite electrode 5 are not changed in size, the graphite electrode 5 can be separated from the quick clamping assembly 4.

[0041] If the seat limiting block 501 and the seat clamping block 502 of the graphite electrode 5 are changed in size, the fixing bolt 304 can be loosened, the quick clamping assembly 4 can be separated from the connecting assembly 3, and the graphite electrode 5 can be quickly removed after the quick clamping assembly 4 is removed, so that the efficiency of changing the model is improved, and the graphite electrode mechanism can adapt to the clamping of graphite electrodes 5 of various shapes and sizes, and the equipment is convenient for processing products 6.
