WIRE ASPIRATION DEVICE AND WIRE RECOVERY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A wire aspiration device that is placed on an ejection side of first and second recovery rollers that nip a wire electrode having run through an area where a workpiece is subject to electric discharge machining from both sides of the wire electrode and ejects the wire electrode, and that aspirates the ejected wire electrode in a recovering direction, the wire aspiration device comprising:
- a first member having a first curved surface with a projecting portion that is in close contact with peripheral surfaces of the first and second recovery rollers on one side;
a second member having a second curved surface with a projecting portion that is in close contact with the peripheral surfaces of the first and second recovery rollers on the other side; and
a third member having a through hole formed in a central portion thereof to cause the ejected wire electrode to run in the recovering direction, and coupling the first and second members to form two grooves for forming an air gap with the peripheral surfaces of the first and second recovery rollers between the first and second curved surfaces to be in contact with the through hole, whereina fluid spout for spouting a fluid into the through hole in the recovering direction is formed in any one of the first, second, and third members.

Abstract
A wire aspiration device includes a first member having a first curved surface with a projected portion that is in close contact with peripheral surfaces of first and second recovery rollers on one side, a second member having a second curved surface with a projected portion that is in close contact with the peripheral surfaces of the first and second recovery rollers on the other side, and a third member having a through hole formed in a central portion thereof to cause the ejected wire electrode to run in the wire-electrode recovering direction and coupling the first and second members to form two grooves between the first and second curved surfaces to be in contact with the through hole, wherein a fluid spout for spouting a fluid into the through hole in the recovering direction is formed in any of the first, second, and third members.

5. A wire aspiration device that is placed on an ejection side of first and second recovering conveyer belts that nip a wire electrode having run through an area where a workpiece is subject to electric discharge machining from both sides of the wire electrode and eject the wire electrode, and that aspirates the ejected wire electrode in a recovering direction, the wire aspiration device comprising:
-
a first member having a first curved surface with a projecting portion that is in close contact with peripheral surfaces of the first and second recovering conveyer belts on one side, the recovering conveyer belts being laid by first and second recovery rollers that lay the first and second recovering conveyer belts in tensioned states on the ejection side; a second member having a second curved surface with a projecting portion that is in close contact with the peripheral surfaces of the laid first and second recovering conveyer belts on the other side; and a third member having a through hole formed in a central portion thereof to cause the ejected wire electrode to run in the recovering direction, and coupling the first and second members to form two grooves for forming an air gap with the peripheral surfaces of the laid first and second recovering conveyer belts between the first and second curved surfaces to be in contact with the through hole, wherein a fluid spout for spouting a fluid into the through hole in the recovering direction is formed in any one of the first, second, and third members. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A wire aspiration device that is placed on a carry-out side of a rotary roller changing a direction of a wire electrode that has run through an area where a workpiece is subject to electric discharge machining and carrying out the wire electrode, and that aspirates the carried wire electrode in a conveying direction, the wire aspiration device comprising:
-
a first member having a first curved surface that is in close contact with a peripheral surface of the rotary roller on one side; a second member having a second curved surface that is in close contact with the peripheral surface of the rotary roller on the other side; and a third member having a through hole formed in a central portion thereof to cause the carried wire electrode to run in the conveying direction, and coupling the first and second members to form a groove for forming an air gap with the peripheral surface of the rotary roller between the first and second curved surfaces to be in contact with the through hole, wherein a fluid spout for spouting a fluid into the through hole in the conveying direction is formed in any one of the first, second, and third members. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
