Description

Automatic exchange and guide wire supporting system and method for electric machining numerical control electrode and machine tool
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of numerical control electric spark automatic machining, in particular to an automatic exchange and guide wire supporting system and method for an electric machining numerical control electrode of a numerical control small hole electric machining machine tool and the machine tool.
Background
The numerical control electric spark small hole machining machine tool is an important category in the electric machining machine tool, is a high-end working machine which is widely applied to important manufacturing fields such as aerospace, heavy duty, dies, medical equipment, energy equipment and the like, and plays an important role of being difficult to replace.
The numerical control electric spark small hole processing machine adopts a slender copper pipe (wire) as an electrode, a guide is needed to guide the slender copper pipe in processing so as to ensure normal processing, copper pipe electrodes and guides with corresponding outer diameters are needed to be replaced in processing small holes with different apertures, the structure of the numerical control electric spark small hole processing machine can be shown by referring to fig. 1, the numerical control electric spark small hole processing machine comprises a main shaft head 91, a rotating head 92, an electrode chuck 93, an electrode tube wire 94 and a guide 95, and the lower end of the electrode tube wire 94 passes through the guide 95. Because copper tubes are extremely thin and long, the minimum diameter is 0.2mm or less, the electrode length is 400mm, and the like, in order to prevent the elongate wire clamped in the machine tool rotating head 92 between the electrode chuck 93 and the guide 95 from buckling during processing, a wire supporting device 96 is often added between the electrode chuck 93 and the guide 95. In the automatic numerical control electric spark small hole machining of the workpiece small hole, the machine tool also needs to automatically exchange the electrode. The automatic exchange of the electric spark small hole machining electrode is generally to install electrode tube wires 94 (wires) with various specifications in an electrode chuck 93, place the electrode chuck 93 with the electrode tube wires 94 in an electrode warehouse, and automatically install a designated electrode chuck 93 into a main shaft of a machine tool rotating head 92 through a mechanical arm. Due to the slimness of the electrode wire 94, the lower end of the electrode mounted in the electrode holder 93 of the rotary head 92 is deflected, and it is difficult to ensure the coaxial with the guide hole of the guide 95 at the lower end of the spindle of the machine tool, which results in that the electrode cannot be automatically penetrated into the guide hole of the guide 95. Even with the wire guide 96 on the machine tool, the lower end of the electrode tube wire 94 cannot be guided into the guide hole of the guide 95 due to the existing wire guide 96 construction scheme.
The technical proposal of the wire supporting mechanism used by two existing electric spark small hole processing machine tools is presented below.
Referring to fig. 2, the technical scheme of the wire supporting mechanism is that a spring follow-up scheme is adopted, a floating block 971 is slidably arranged in a guide rod 973, an upper spring 981 and a lower spring 982 are arranged in the guide rod 973, the lower end of the upper spring 981 is pressed on the upper end face of the floating block 971, the upper end of the lower spring 982 is pressed on the lower end face of the floating block 971, the parameters such as the outer diameter, the wire diameter, the screw pitch and the length of the upper spring 981 and the lower spring 982 are completely consistent, a wire supporting device 96 is arranged at the left end of the floating block 971, an electrode tube wire 94 arranged in an electrode chuck 93 passes through a wire supporting hole of the wire supporting device 96 and enters an inner hole of a guide 95, the follow-up block 972 is slidably sleeved in the guide rod 973 and is pressed on the upper end of the upper spring 981, and the left end of the follow-up block is fixedly connected with a rotating head 92. In the processing, the rotating head 92 drives the electrode tube wire 94 to feed and simultaneously drives the follow-up block 972 to press the upper spring 981, and because the parameters of the upper spring 981 and the lower spring 982 are completely consistent, when the follow-up block 972 descends by 1 length unit, the floating block 971 drives the wire lifter 96 to descend by 1/2 length unit, so that the wire lifter 96 is ensured to play a role in wire lifter at the middle position of the electrode tube wire 94 all the time. The wire supporter 96 has a simple structure, but since the wire supporter 96 is always positioned in the middle between the lower end of the electrode chuck 93 and the upper end of the guide 95, the wire supporter 96 cannot guide the lower end of the electrode tube wire 94 into the guide hole of the guide 95 during automatic electrode exchange.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the technical scheme of the wire supporting mechanism is a pulley follow-up scheme, the scheme of a movable pulley 991 follow-up scheme is adopted in fig. 3, the scheme of a movable pulley 991 and a fixed pulley 992 follow-up scheme is adopted in fig. 4, the principle design of the movable pulley 991 is utilized, when a soft steel wire 993 with one end fixed on a rotating head 92 is driven by the rotating head 92 to pull up (down) 1 length unit, the movable pulley 991 arranged on the floating block 971 drives the floating block 971 and the wire supporting device 96 arranged at the left front end of the floating block 971 to move (down) 1/2 length unit, so that the wire supporting device 96 is always positioned at the middle position of an electrode wire 94, the wire supporting effect is achieved, and the lower end of the electrode wire supporting device 96 cannot be guided into a guide hole of the guide 95 during automatic electrode exchange.
Because the lower ends of the electrode tube wires 94 cannot be guided into the guide holes of the guide 95 during electrode exchange by the conventional two or other wire centralizer schemes, the lower ends of the electrode tube wires 94 cannot be guided when electrode exchange is required, the lower ends of the electrode tube wires 94 cannot be aligned with the guide holes of the guide, penetration failure can be caused, the electrode tube wires 94 can be damaged, and full-automatic machining of the numerical control electric spark small hole machining machine tool cannot be realized if manual guiding is performed.
Therefore, how to solve the difficult problem of wire holding of the electrode tube wire during machining can be achieved by guiding the lower end of the electrode tube wire into the guide hole of the guide in the automatic exchange electrode during numerical control electric spark small hole machining, and the research content of the subject is achieved.
