The specific embodiment
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with concrete drawings and Examples.
As shown in Figure 1: described arc ignition circuit comprises the CUT main circuit, described CUT main circuit is connected with cutting torch, and described cutting torch comprises electrode and nozzle, and described electrode is connected with the nozzle corresponding matching, when initial, electrode is connected with the contact of nozzle equipotential.The CUT main circuit is connected with master control borad by circuits for triggering, the input of described master control borad is connected with the current sensor that the rifle switch reaches for detection of the cutting torch operating current, the output of master control borad also is connected with magnetic valve and little arc control panel, and little arc control panel is connected with nozzle by thermistor PTC and high-power resistance R.When the rifle switch was closed, master control borad started by trigger circuit triggers CUT main circuit.The CUT main circuit is by being connected with cutting torch and workpiece by capacitor C 1, capacitor C 2 and capacitor C 3 respectively, and described capacitor C 1, capacitor C 2 and capacitor C 3 are all output protection electric capacity.Magnetic valve is used for controlling the injection of Compressed Gas.Particularly, little arc control panel comprises relay, and described relay is the DC24V relay, and the coil of relay is connected with the output of master control borad, and the contact of relay is connected with nozzle by thermistor PTC and high-power resistance R.
As shown in Figure 2: U is CUT main circuit output voltage; IF is Hall current sensor; R (50W/32 Ω) is high-power resistance and thermistor PTC (PTC SY16P).When welding machine work was initial, electrode and nozzle were in short-circuit condition, and process high-power resistance R and thermistor PTC and DC24V relay contact form little current loop.Forming the loop simultaneously, the action of the magnetic valve of welding machine, air flow is thrown off electrode and nozzle, and the spark that utilizes electrode and nozzle transcient short circuit time to produce ionizes compressed air, forms plasma-arc between electrode and nozzle.Along with compressed air sprays from nozzle, form hot flame stream, when the close workpiece of nozzle of cutting torch, under the effect of high-temperature plasma flame stream, form electric arc between electrode and workpiece.After electric current that current sensor IF detects electrode and workpiece reaches setting value, master control borad makes break of contact electrode and the nozzle loop of relay, arc extinction between electrode and nozzle keeps the arc stiffness between electric arc and workpiece simultaneously, completes by the conversion of plasma-arc to cutting arc.
As depicted in figs. 1 and 2: when CUT and digital control system online complete, set cutting current, and some parameters such as digital control system Height-adjusting device arc voltage.Press the rifle switch, the master control borad control triggering electric circuit makes the work of CUT main circuit, and described CUT main circuit produces voltage on electrode; Simultaneously, master control borad makes the relay coil on little arc control panel charged, and corresponding normally opened contact is closed, and the normally opened contact after closure forms the closed-loop path through resistance R and thermistor PTC SY16P, has little electric current between electrode and nozzle.Magnetic valve gets electronic work simultaneously, and air flow is thrown off electrode and nozzle by plasma cutting gun, is throwing off moment formation plasma arc, when the close workpiece of nozzle of cutting torch, under the effect of high-temperature plasma flame stream, forms electric arc between electrode and workpiece.After the striking success, current sensor IF detects the large electric current on electrode and workpiece, the current signal of sampling is fed back to master control borad, feedback signal process operational amplifier and FET are the DC24V relay that offers on little arc control panel, the normally opened contact of relay is in normally open, and little arc circuit is disconnected.Arc extinction between electrode and nozzle is realized striking; Make the CUT normal operation.
The present invention is mainly used in the arc ignition circuit of CUT, as in arc process, the short circuit phenomenon that electrode and nozzle do not have disengagement or other reasons appears, electric current by thermistor PTC is long, reaches its Curie point, and resistance can be doubled and redoubled, make little arc current become very little, after problem was got rid of, thermistor also had self-recovering function, can also work on.Simultaneously also avoid electrode and nozzle injury are reduced unnecessary loss.
Circuit design simple optimizing of the present invention, safe and reliable, input cost is lower, effectively avoids High-frequency Interference on the impact of numerical control device, has reduced damage and the misoperation of numerical control servomechanism (raising device), ensures the digital control system normal operation; Have again in order to reduce the loss of nozzle, except reducing in operating process unnecessary striking, reduction striking electric current is the life-span of prolonging nozzle effectively, but too low striking electric current can make little arc stbility variation, easily cause current interruption when shifting cutting, choose suitable striking size of current in actual product, guarantee the reliable transfer of electric arc from the nozzle to the workpiece.Little arc current of the present invention can be adjusted by the resistance of thermistor, operates very convenient.
