For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] As Figures 1-2 The utility model embodiment provides a kind of unattended perforating machine, comprising: base 10, workbench 20, perforating mechanism 30, elevator head 40, high-pressure water pump 50;
[0031] The perforating mechanism 30 includes rotating head 31, hollow electrode 32, guider 33, guider 33 is installed on guider mounting seat, and is concentric with the hollow rotating shaft of rotating head 31, guider mounting seat is provided with adjusting mechanism for adjusting the perpendicularity of guider 33 and workpiece, rotating head 31 is arranged on elevator head 40;
[0032] The high-pressure water pump 50 is connected with rotating head 31, and the processing liquid pressurized by high-pressure water pump 50 enters hollow electrode 32 via the hollow rotating shaft of rotating head 31;
[0033] Temperature measuring mechanism 60, the temperature measuring mechanism 60 is arranged near the hollow electrode 32, and the temperature measuring mechanism 60 is used to generate electrical signal when hollow electrode 32 temperature is abnormal;
[0034] Abnormality prevention mechanism is used for executing abnormality prevention action based on the electrical signal.
[0035] The above-mentioned electric signal is generally sent to the control system first, and then sent to the abnormality prevention mechanism and the like by the control system to further control other actions. The electric signal can also be directly sent to the abnormality prevention mechanism or other systems, such as the discharging system, and then sent to the control system by the other systems. The processing liquid can be water, saponification liquid, spark machine oil, and the like. When the abnormality prevention mechanism receives the electric signal indicating temperature abnormality (for example, when the temperature at the processing position of the hollow electrode exceeds the ambient temperature by 50 degrees), a pass or fail action can be made based on the electric signal, thereby controlling the execution of the abnormality prevention action.
[0036] The temperature measuring mechanism 60 can be a contact type (thermocouple) or a non-contact type (infrared temperature measurement), and is preferably waterproof. The workpiece refers to a workpiece to be perforated. The abnormality prevention mechanism can be arranged at any fixed position on the perforating machine or at a corresponding position based on the specific form and function of the abnormality prevention mechanism.
[0037] The perforating machine has two water pumps, one of which is a high-pressure water pump 50 for supplying high-pressure water to the copper pipe, and the other is an external auxiliary water pump for flushing the workpiece, which has relatively low water pressure. The high-pressure water pump 50 is connected to the rotating head 31 by a high-pressure water pipe.
[0038] The abnormality prevention mechanism includes an alarm mechanism 90 and / or a waste electrode removal part, the alarm mechanism 90 is configured to perform an alarm action based on the electric signal; and the waste electrode removal part is configured to perform an action of removing the abnormal electrode based on the electric signal.
[0039] In addition, the alarm mechanism 90 is configured to alarm when the number of times that the temperature measuring mechanism 60 generates the electric signal within a set time exceeds a preset number of times. The alarm mechanism 90 can be an audible and visual alarm device.
[0040] When the temperature is abnormal, the temperature measuring mechanism 60 generates an electric signal. At this time, it can be due to the fact that there are too many particulate impurities in the processing liquid, which is not suitable for continuous processing. The action of removing the abnormal electrode can be performed by the waste electrode removal part to temporarily stop the processing. If it is a very thin hollow electrode, such as a diameter of 0.3 mm or less, it can be instantaneously fused and cannot automatically remove the waste electrode. An alarm can be given to prompt the operator to replace the processing liquid and clean the pipeline.
[0041] The perforating machine includes a water flushing device 70 and a water flushing control mechanism, the water flushing control mechanism is electrically connected to the water flushing device 70, and the abnormality prevention mechanism is configured to cause the water flushing control mechanism to control the water flushing device 70 to stop working based on the electric signal.
[0042] When the temperature is abnormal, the temperature measuring mechanism 60 generates an electrical signal, at which time the processing liquid supply to the copper pipe needs to be stopped, otherwise the copper pipe has been burned off and continues to spray processing liquid, which is easy to cause the machine tool bed and the surrounding ground to be watered. The abnormality prevention mechanism can include a flushing control mechanism, or the abnormality prevention mechanism and the flushing control mechanism are integrally formed, or the abnormality prevention mechanism and the flushing control mechanism are connected to control the flushing control mechanism.
[0043] The perforating machine includes a discharge system, and the abnormality prevention mechanism is configured to stop the discharge processing of the hollow electrode based on the electrical signal.
[0044] Ensure that the discharge can be stopped in time to prevent the hollow electrode from burning off the electrode chuck of the rotary head 31, and prevent the hollow electrode from melting and being inconvenient for subsequent waste electrode removal; the abnormality prevention mechanism can include a discharge system, or the abnormality prevention mechanism and the discharge system are integrally formed, or the abnormality prevention mechanism and the discharge system are connected to control the flushing control mechanism.
[0045] The perforating machine includes a clamping mechanism 80 for preventing the hollow electrode from shaking during processing; and / or, the clamping mechanism 80 is provided as a retractable or rotating structure.
[0046] The main function of the clamping mechanism 80 is to support the electrode to prevent the hollow electrode from shaking during processing and reduce the waste of the hollow electrode 32.
[0047] As shown in Figure 3 The perforating machine includes a clamping mechanism 80, and the temperature measuring mechanism 60 is arranged at the clamping mechanism 80; and / or, the temperature measuring mechanism 60 moves up and down synchronously with the hollow electrode.
[0048] In this way, the temperature measuring mechanism 60 can accompany and continuously approach the hollow electrode processing position, and the measured temperature is more accurate and reliable.
[0049] At least two sliding blocks 81 are arranged on the track of the clamping mechanism 80 to keep the clamped hollow electrode concentric with the guide when the clamping mechanism 80 moves up and down.
[0050] The at least two sliding blocks 81 can ensure that the clamping part is determined by at least two points to form a straight line, and the hollow electrode and the temperature measuring mechanism 60 do not shake when moving up and down, and the positioning is more accurate.
[0051] The guide 33 is arranged below the rotary head 31, and the temperature measuring mechanism 60 is arranged between the guide 33 and the rotary head 31. This facilitates the temperature measuring mechanism 60 to measure more accurate temperature.
[0052] The electrode taking device comprises an electrode supporting function, and the electrode taking device is provided with an electrode supporting mechanism.
[0053] In some cases, the electrode taking device comprises a clamping mechanism 80; that is, the electrode taking device can perform the action of taking the electrode when it is necessary to take out the waste electrode, and can also realize the electrode supporting function in the form of the clamping mechanism 80 during the machining process.
[0054] In some cases, the electrode taking device can move up and down to follow the hollow electrode to move up and down, so as to facilitate the realization of better electrode supporting function in the form of the clamping mechanism 80 during the machining process.
[0055] The electrode taking device comprises an electrode supporting function, and the electrode taking device is provided with an electrode supporting mechanism.
[0056] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the utility model, and the purpose is to enable persons skilled in the art to understand the content of the utility model and implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the utility model shall be covered within the protection scope of the utility model.
