Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire cutting machine technology, specifically to a tension adjustment mechanism for wire cutting machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] A wire EDM machine is a CNC machine tool that uses a thin metal wire as an electrode to cut workpieces through electrical discharge. A spark discharge occurs between the workpiece and the electrode, generating temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius. This high temperature melts or evaporates the material on the workpiece, thus achieving cutting. The tension adjustment mechanism is an important part of the wire EDM machine, used to adjust the structure of the metal wire and improve the accuracy of the cutting machine.

[0003] Currently, wire cutting machines still have some shortcomings, such as the electrode wire becoming loose and the tension decreasing, which directly affects the surface finish and machining accuracy of the processed parts.

[0004] To overcome the problem of inconvenient tension adjustment of electrode wire in cutting machines, a Chinese patent (publication number: CN210789562U) discloses that one end of the first screw is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the hydraulic cylinder pulls the connecting plate to adjust the tension of the electrode wire, so that the electrode wire is kept taut, preventing the electrode wire from becoming loose and the tension from becoming smaller, and improving its adjustment efficiency.

[0005] However, the tension adjustment mechanism currently in use still has certain shortcomings. The tension adjustment of the electrode wire is achieved by rotating the screw in the above document, which is not very efficient and takes a long time to rotate. In addition, the adjustment mechanism is not convenient for replacing the wire guide wheel, and the later maintenance will be more troublesome. Therefore, the existing structure needs to be improved.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Example 1, such as Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution to address the problem of inconvenient tension adjustment in wire cutting machines: a sliding mechanism is disclosed.

[0031] The machine tool plate 1 includes three wire guide rollers 2 connected to its side, with metal wires 3 attached to the surface of each roller. A through groove 101 is formed through the side of the machine tool plate 1, and a sliding block 102 slides inside the through groove 101. A connecting wheel 103 is mounted on one side of the sliding block 102, and a pressing block 104 is connected to the other side of the sliding block 102. A sliding mechanism for adjusting the tension of the cutting machine wire is provided inside the through groove 101. A threaded cylinder 115 is fixed to the side of the sliding block 102 near the connecting wheel 103, and a connecting wheel 103 is provided at the end of the threaded cylinder 115. The replacement extrusion mechanism and sliding mechanism include a toothed block 105, which is fixed on the side of the machine tool plate 1 near the pressing block 104. A slide groove 106 is provided on the side of the machine tool plate 1 near the toothed block 105. A slider 107 slides through the slide groove 106. The slider 107 is fixed on the side of the pressing block 104. A rotating groove 108 is provided inside the pressing block 104. A gear 109 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 108. The gear 109 is meshed with the side of the toothed block 105 and rotates on the side of the sliding block 102 near the pressing block 104.

[0032] When the wire cutting machine is in use, the metal wire 3 can generate high temperature through electrical discharge, which can melt the material being processed, thereby achieving the cutting of the material. During the cutting process, the metal wire 3 can move through the wire guide wheel 2, which can improve the cutting effect. When the metal wire 3 is used for a long time, it will become loose. Pressing the pressing block 104 can drive the slider 107 and gear 109 to move. When the gear 109 moves, it can drive the sliding block 102 to move. When the slider 107 and sliding block 102 move, they can slide through the sliding groove 106 and the through groove 101 respectively. At the same time, when the gear 109 moves, it can achieve meshing rotation through the tooth block 105. When the gear 109 meshes and rotates, it can rotate through the sliding block 102 and the pressing block 104. When the pressing block 104 slides, it can drive the connecting wheel 103 to move. When the connecting wheel 103 moves, it can squeeze the metal wire 3. After being squeezed, the metal wire 3 can be tightened through the wire guide wheel 2. When the metal wire 3 is tightened, the tension of the cutting machine can be adjusted, and the adjustment efficiency is higher.

[0033] Example 2, as follows Figure 3 and Figure 5 The present invention provides the following technical solution to address the problem of inconvenient positioning and reduced wire stability during tension adjustment on a cutting machine: Based on Embodiment 1, a positioning mechanism is disclosed:

[0034] A rotating groove 111 is formed through the side of the rotating groove 108. A positioning mechanism to improve the stability of the connecting wheel 103 is installed inside the rotating groove 111. The positioning mechanism includes a ratchet 110, which is fixed to the end of the gear 109 away from the sliding block 102. A rotating block 112 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 111, and a torsion spring connects the rotating block 112 to the rotating groove 111. A positioning block 113 is fixed to the end of the rotating block 112 and fits against the side of the ratchet 110. A push block 114 is fixed to the side of the positioning block 113 away from the rotating block 112 and slides through the rotating groove 111. When the cutting machine adjusts the wire tension, the gear 109 can rotate inside the pressing block 104. When the gear 109 rotates, it drives the ratchet 110 to rotate. When the ratchet 110 rotates, the inclined surface of the meshing teeth can press against the side of the positioning block 113. After being pressed, the positioning block 113 can drive... Rotating block 112 and push block 114 rotate. When rotating block 112 rotates, it can rotate through rotating groove 111. When pushing block 114 rotates, it can slide through rotating groove 111. When rotating block 112 rotates, it can compress torsion spring. After positioning block 113 is compressed to a certain position, ratchet 110 can rotate synchronously with gear 109. At this time, sliding block 102 can drive connecting wheel 103 to compress metal wire 3 to adjust tension. When sliding block 102 is compressed to a specified position, torsion spring can drive rotating block 112 to reset. When rotating block 112 resets, it can drive positioning block 113 to reset. When positioning block 113 resets, it can rotate to the side of ratchet 110 for positioning. After ratchet 110 is positioned, it will drive gear 109 to be positioned. Gear 109 will be locked on the side of tooth block 105. In this way, the positioning of pressing block 104 and connecting wheel 103 is realized, which improves the convenience of adjusting tension of metal wire 3.

[0035] Example 3, as follows Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The present invention provides the following technical solution to address the problem that the connecting wheel 103 of the wire cutting machine is inconvenient to replace, thus affecting the machine's operating efficiency: Based on Embodiment 1, an extrusion mechanism is disclosed:

[0036] The extrusion mechanism includes a threaded ring 116, which is threadedly connected to the surface of a threaded cylinder 115. The threaded cylinder 115 has symmetrically symmetrically arranged guide grooves 117 at its ends. A guide block 118 slides through the guide groove 117, and an extrusion block 119 is fixed to the end of the guide block 118. An insert block 120 is fixed to the side of the connecting wheel 103 near the sliding block 102. The insert block 120 is slidably connected to the threaded cylinder 115, and symmetrically arranged positioning grooves 121 are provided on both sides of the insert block 120. When the connecting wheel 103 of the cutting machine tool needs to be replaced, the threaded ring 116 can be rotated to slide threadedly through the threaded cylinder 115. When the threaded ring 116 slides threadedly, the inclined surface of its inner wall loses its extrusion force on the extrusion block 119. When the threaded ring 116 rotates to a certain position, it pulls the connecting wheel 103. When the connecting wheel 103 is pulled, it can drive the insert block 120 to move. When the insert block 120 moves, it can slide inside the threaded cylinder 115. When the insert block 120 slides, it can drive the positioning groove 121 to squeeze the side wall of the extrusion block 119. When the extrusion block 119 is squeezed, it can drive the guide block 118 to slide inside the guide groove 117. After the extrusion block 119 slides to a certain position, the insert block 120 can slide out of the threaded cylinder 115. At this time, the connecting wheel 103 and the sliding block 102 can be separated and disassembled. The connecting wheel 103 can be replaced after disassembly, which further improves the ease of use of the wire cutting machine tool.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
