Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of discharge machining, specifically to short arc milling fluid conductivity control system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Short arc machining is a kind of discharge machining technology. It refers to the use of the tool electrode and the workpiece between the generated excited intermittent arc discharge group to remove the conductive metal material in the mixed medium with certain dielectric strength. In this technology, the high temperature and high energy generated by arc discharge act on the workpiece surface, making the conductive metal material be quickly melted and evaporated. Compared with the traditional mechanical processing method, its processing efficiency is higher, and it is suitable for complex shape processing of difficult-to-machine materials. However, a large amount of heat generated during processing can easily lead to tool wear and uncontrolled processing area temperature, thereby affecting the processing precision and surface quality.

[0003] To alleviate the above problems, cutting fluid is widely used in short arc machining process, which is used for cooling tool and workpiece, lubricating contact surface and removing chips and impurities. The conductivity of cutting fluid is an important parameter of its performance, which not only affects the conductivity of cutting fluid, but also directly affects the stability of arc discharge. Too high conductivity may cause short circuit in processing gap, reducing processing precision; while too low conductivity will weaken the stability and efficiency of arc discharge, leading to the decline of processing surface quality. Therefore, reasonable adjustment of the conductivity of cutting fluid is of great significance to the stability and effect of short arc machining process.

[0004] During processing, cutting fluid is circulated to the processing area through fluid pipeline and continuously participates in cooling, lubrication and chip removal. However, in the prior art, the management of cutting fluid conductivity usually depends on manual detection or regular replacement, which has poor real-time performance and low control precision, and is difficult to meet the requirements of modern short arc machining for high efficiency and intelligentization. Especially in complex processing scene, the conductivity of cutting fluid may fluctuate due to changes in processing load and environment, further increasing the difficulty of stable control. And the conductivity of the recovered cutting fluid is not detected, so the conductivity of the cutting fluid cannot be adjusted in time. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
