Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrode holder technology, and more specifically, to a holder for electrode holders. Background Technology

[0002] As the core component of electrical discharge machining (EDM), the clamping accuracy and stability of the electrode directly affect machining efficiency and product quality. Existing automated electrode machining units typically use a fixture to fix the blank and achieve automatic clamping through the machine tool chuck. These fixtures usually have a protruding locating head for positioning in conjunction with the machine tool chuck. However, in non-machining states, the electrode holder needs to be stored independently to accommodate the processing needs of multiple varieties and small batches.

[0003] However, existing storage methods often rely on simple support structures, resulting in insufficient stability of the electrode holder when placed, making it highly susceptible to damage to the positioning head due to collisions or slippage. Furthermore, the exposed positioning head is easily scratched by external forces, leading to a significant decrease in positioning accuracy over long-term use. In addition, metal shavings generated during processing tend to accumulate in the contact area between the fixture and the storage rack, which is difficult to clean and may contaminate the processing environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mounting bracket for an electrode holder, which solves the problem of unstable placement of the electrode holder that easily damages the positioning head.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an electrode holder placement rack for placing electrode holders, the electrode holder including a positioning head, a slot provided at the center of the positioning head, the placement rack including a base plate, a slot provided on the base plate that matches the outer contour of the positioning head, a positioning protrusion provided in the slot that matches the slot, a dust collection box horizontally slidably connected in the base plate, and a dust collection hole communicating with the dust collection box provided at the bottom of the slot.

[0006] Furthermore, several slots are spaced apart in both the horizontal and vertical directions on the horizontal plane of the substrate.

[0007] Furthermore, row and column numbers are respectively set on the adjacent sides of the substrate corresponding to the card slot positions.

[0008] Furthermore, the edges of the card slot are chamfered outwards, and the positioning protrusions are chamfered inwards.

[0009] Furthermore, the dust collection holes are evenly spaced along the circumference of the positioning protrusions.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the card slot is an inclined surface that slopes towards the dust collection hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the substrate is made of a single piece of steel plate.

[0012] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is provided on the bottom of the substrate.

[0013] This invention has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects: By matching the outer contour of the positioning head with the slot and inserting the positioning protrusion into the bayonet of the positioning head, it ensures that the electrode holder is vertically embedded without shaking, avoiding damage to the positioning head due to collision or sliding, and significantly improving positioning accuracy and service life. Simultaneously, a dust collection box is slidably connected to the substrate, allowing residual metal shavings after processing to fall directly into the box, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning, lowering the risk of environmental pollution, and preventing shavings accumulation from affecting the contact stability between the holder and the placement frame.

[0020] The specific implementation method is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment mainly discloses a placement rack for an electrode holder 1, used to place the electrode holder 1. The electrode holder 1 includes a positioning head 11, with a bayonet 10 at its center. The placement rack includes a base plate 2, on which a slot 20 is formed that mates with the outer contour of the positioning head 11. A positioning protrusion 21 is provided in the slot 20 that mates with the bayonet 10. A dust collection box 3 is horizontally slidably connected within the base plate 2, and a dust collection hole 22 communicating with the dust collection box 3 is formed at the bottom of the slot 20. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, this is a conventional electrode holder 1 in the prior art, including a clamping block 12 connected to the electrode and a positioning head 11 connected to the chuck of the feeding device. The electrode holder 1 is vertically embedded without wobbling by matching the outer contour of the positioning head 11 with the slot 20 and the positioning protrusion 21 inserted into the bayonet 10 of the positioning head 11, thus preventing damage to the positioning head 11 due to collision or sliding, significantly improving positioning accuracy and service life. The dust collection box 3 communicates with the dust collection hole 22 at the bottom of the slot 20, allowing residual metal debris after processing to fall directly into the box, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning, lowering the risk of environmental pollution, and preventing debris accumulation from affecting the contact stability between the holder and the placement frame. The dust collection box 3 is horizontally slidably connected to the substrate 2, and a handle is provided on the outer wall of the dust collection box 3 for easy pulling out for periodic inspection and cleaning.

[0023] Furthermore, in specific implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of slots 20 are provided at intervals in the horizontal and vertical directions on the horizontal plane of the substrate 2. The slots 20 distributed horizontally and vertically can maximize the space utilization of the substrate 2, accommodate more electrode holders 1, and at the same time avoid physical interference caused by differences in length or shape between adjacent electrodes through reasonable spacing.

[0024] Preferably, row and column numbers are respectively set on the adjacent sides of the substrate 2 corresponding to the slots 20. The row and column numbers systematically mark the position of each slot 20, which makes it easy for operators to quickly identify and access specific electrode holders 1, reduce manual search time, provide a physical basis for the subsequent introduction of information management systems (such as QR codes or RFID tags), help to achieve full-process traceability of the electrode life cycle, and improve the operating efficiency of automated processing units.

[0025] Furthermore, in specific implementation, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the edge of the slot 20 is chamfered outwards, and the positioning protrusion 21 is chamfered inwards. The chamfering design eliminates sharp edges, reduces friction between the electrode holder 1 and the substrate 2 when embedded in the slot 20, avoids scratches on the positioning head 11 or the surface of the slot 20, and extends the service life of the component. Simultaneously, the chamfer forms a guide slope, assisting the holder in quickly aligning with the positioning protrusion 21. Even with slight misalignment, the position can be automatically corrected, improving clamping efficiency and operational error tolerance.

[0026] Furthermore, in specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the dust collection holes 22 provided in this embodiment of the invention are evenly spaced around the positioning protrusion 21. Specifically, the dust collection holes 22 are arc-shaped slots distributed near the center of the slot 20 to facilitate the collection of debris.

[0027] Preferably, the bottom surface of the slot 20 is an inclined surface that slopes towards the dust collection hole 22. Gravity allows debris to automatically slide towards the dust collection hole 22, reducing manual intervention and preventing debris from accumulating in the slot 20 and affecting the stability of the clamping seat.

[0028] Furthermore, in specific implementations, the substrate 2 provided in this embodiment of the present invention is integrally formed from a steel plate. On the one hand, the integrally formed steel plate substrate 2 avoids stress concentration problems caused by welding or splicing, has stronger resistance to deformation, and can withstand the pressure of the heavy-duty electrode holder 1 for a long time. On the other hand, it makes the substrate 2 heavier, which can be stably placed on a plane, improving the stability of the structure.

[0029] Furthermore, in a specific implementation, an anti-slip pad is provided at the bottom of the substrate 2 provided in this embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the anti-slip pad can be made of rubber material, which increases the friction between the substrate 2 and the flat surface, preventing the placement rack from shifting when personnel pick it up or put it down. In addition, the anti-slip pad can absorb some vibration energy, reduce hard collisions between the placement rack and the ground or tabletop, protect the structure of the substrate 2, and reduce noise pollution.
