[0028] See Figures 1 to 6 This utility model embodiment provides an adjustable EDM grooving device, comprising:

[0029] The device base 10 has a plurality of first electrode blocks 20 arranged in a ring array around a preset center. The first electrode blocks 20 are movably mounted on the device base 10 and can move radially on the device base 10 to approach and move away from the preset center.

[0030] The driving mechanism 50 is connected to the first electrode block 20. The driving mechanism 50 is used to drive each first electrode block 20 to move radially closer to the preset center. The driving mechanism 50 is also used to drive each first electrode block 20 to move radially away from the preset center.

[0031] The number and position of the second electrode block 30 are set to correspond to those of the first electrode block.

[0032] This embodiment provides an adjustable EDM grooving device, which includes a device base 10, a first electrode block 20, a second electrode block 30, and a drive mechanism 50. During processing, the grinding wheel is installed in a preset position so that the center of the grinding wheel coincides with the preset center. After the grinding wheel is installed, the second electrode blocks 30, which are arranged in a ring array, are located on the inner side of the grinding wheel and are in contact with the inner surface of the grinding wheel. Since the first electrode blocks 20 and the second electrode blocks 30 are correspondingly arranged, and the multiple first electrode blocks 20 arranged in a ring array are movably arranged on the device base 10, the drive mechanism 50 drives the first electrode blocks 20 to move radially and approach the grinding wheel until they contact the outer surface of the grinding wheel. Since the first electrode blocks 20 and the second electrode blocks 30 are correspondingly arranged, the corresponding chip removal grooves can be cut on the grinding wheel through the joint action of the first electrode blocks 20 and the second electrode blocks 30. During the grooving process, the first electrode blocks 20 will slowly and continuously move until they penetrate the wall of the grinding wheel to form the chip removal grooves.

[0035] In this embodiment, during operation, the rotation of the first bevel tooth 501 simultaneously drives the rotation of all the second bevel teeth 502. The second bevel teeth 502 drive the drive screw 503 connected to them to rotate. Since the first electrode block 20 is provided with a threaded hole, the drive screw 503 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The forward and reverse rotation of the first bevel tooth 501 can drive the second bevel tooth 502 to rotate forward and reverse, and the forward and reverse rotation of the second bevel tooth 502 can drive the drive screw 503 to rotate forward and reverse. The forward and reverse rotation of the drive screw 503 can drive the first electrode block 20 to move radially closer to and away from the preset center.

[0036] In a further embodiment of this invention, the device base 10 is provided with a movable groove 102 extending radially around a preset center, and the first electrode block 20 is movably disposed in the movable groove 102.

[0037] In a further embodiment of this invention, the first electrode block 20 includes a first electrode substrate 201. A first forming part 202 is formed at the upper end of the first electrode substrate 201. The shape of the first forming part 202 corresponds to the shape of the slot in the workpiece to be processed. A T-shaped block 203 is formed at the lower end of the first electrode substrate 201. The movable groove 102 is a T-shaped groove. The T-shaped block 203 and the T-shaped groove are movably engaged.

[0040] In a further embodiment of this invention, the adjustable EDM grooving device further includes a tooling fixture 40, on which the second electrode block 30 is mounted.

[0041] In a further embodiment of this invention, the second electrode block 30 is detachably mounted on the tooling fixture 40.

[0042] In a further embodiment of this invention, the second electrode block 30 includes a second electrode substrate 301, and a second molding portion 302 corresponding to the first molding portion 202 is formed at the upper end of the second electrode substrate 301.
