Definitions

  • the invention relates to plasma cartridges with high electrical power for use in melting furnaces.
  • Plasma cartridges for welding, cutting and melting materials are known. They mostly consist of a cathode block, the cathode and the cooling jacket with a cathode surrounding nozzle o The plasma forming gas flows between the cathode and nozzle.
  • the nozzles are subject to severe wear due to very high temperatures and the formation of secondary arcs. Their shelf life is only a few hours. Attempts were made to change the geometric shape of the nozzle to improve its service life, to improve its cooling and, as described in WP 131218, to manufacture the nozzle from several rings which are fitted with a sliding seal and fastened by screwing or a bayonet lock.
  • T he aim of the invention is to reduce the cost of materials for the repair, to reduce the repair time and the repair costs while at the same time increasing the service life of the nozzle,
  • the object is achieved in that the nozzle of the plasma cartridge is equipped with a nozzle insert as a wearing part, which is fastened centrally around the cathode by soldering it into the nozzle body,
  • the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.
  • the nozzle insert 1, which is designed as a wearing part, is fastened by means of the solder 2 in the nozzle body 3 centrally around the cathode 4. During the operating time of the burner, the nozzle is cooled in such a way that the solder melts not happened. After the nozzle insert 1 has worn, the solder 2 is melted by heating the nozzle and the nozzle insert 1 is thus separated from the nozzle body 3. The new nozzle insert 1 is then connected to the nozzle body 3, as described above.

Abstract

1. A heavy-current plasmatron nozzle consisting of a single interchangeable insert (1) in the general form of a wearing element disposed centrally with respect to the cathode (4), a cooling jacket being provided for the nozzle, characterized in that the insert (1) is secured directly int he nozzle body by means of a solder (2) and the nozzle cooling is so adapted that the solder does not melt while the burner is in operation.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Plasmatrone mit hoher elektrischer Leistung zum Einsatz in Schmelzöfen.The invention relates to plasma cartridges with high electrical power for use in melting furnaces.

Plasmatrone zum Schweißen, Schneiden und Schmelzen von Werkstoffen sind bekannt. Sie bestehen zumeist aus einem Katodenblock, der Katode und dem Kühlmantel mit einer die Katode umgebende Düseo Das plasmabildende Gas strömt zwischen Katode und Düse.Plasma cartridges for welding, cutting and melting materials are known. They mostly consist of a cathode block, the cathode and the cooling jacket with a cathode surrounding nozzle o The plasma forming gas flows between the cathode and nozzle.

Bei Plasmatronen mit Stromstärken von mehreren kA sind die Düsen durch sehr hohe Temperaturen und Nebenbogenbildung einem starken Verschleiß unterworfen. Ihre Haltbarkeit beträgt nur einige Stunden. Es wurde versucht, zur Erhöhung der Lebensdauer die geometrische Form der Düse zu verändern, ihre Kühlung zu verbessern und wie im WP 131218 beschrieben, die Düse aus mehreren Ringen zu fertigen, die mit einer Gleitdichtung aufgesetzt und durch Verschraubung oder Bajonettverschluß befestigt werden.In the case of plasma cartridges with currents of several kA, the nozzles are subject to severe wear due to very high temperatures and the formation of secondary arcs. Their shelf life is only a few hours. Attempts were made to change the geometric shape of the nozzle to improve its service life, to improve its cooling and, as described in WP 131218, to manufacture the nozzle from several rings which are fitted with a sliding seal and fastened by screwing or a bayonet lock.

D as Ziel der Erfindung besteht in der Senkung des Materialaufwandes für die Reparatur, der Verringerung der Reparaturzeit und der Reparaturkosten bei gleichzeitiger Erhöhung der Lebensdauer der Düse,T he aim of the invention is to reduce the cost of materials for the repair, to reduce the repair time and the repair costs while at the same time increasing the service life of the nozzle,

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Düse des Plasmatrons mit einem Düseneinsatz als Verschleißteil ausgerüstet ist, welches zentrisch um die Katode durch Einlöten in den Düsenkörper befestigt wird,According to the invention, the object is achieved in that the nozzle of the plasma cartridge is equipped with a nozzle insert as a wearing part, which is fastened centrally around the cathode by soldering it into the nozzle body,

Die Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Der als Verschleißteil ausgebildete Düseneinsatz 1 ist mittels des Lotes 2 im Düsenkörper 3 zentrisch um die Katode 4 befestigte Während der Betriebszeit des Brenners wird die Düse so gekühlt, daß ein Aufschmelzen des Lotes nicht erfolgt. Nach eingetretenem Verschleiß des Düseneinsatzes 1 wird durch Erwärmen der Düse das Lot 2 aufgeschmolzen und damit der Düseneinsatz 1 vom Düsenkörper 3 getrennt. Nachfolgend wird der neue Düseneinsatz 1 mit dem Düsenkörper 3, wie oben beschrieben, verbunden.The invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. The nozzle insert 1, which is designed as a wearing part, is fastened by means of the solder 2 in the nozzle body 3 centrally around the cathode 4. During the operating time of the burner, the nozzle is cooled in such a way that the solder melts not happened. After the nozzle insert 1 has worn, the solder 2 is melted by heating the nozzle and the nozzle insert 1 is thus separated from the nozzle body 3. The new nozzle insert 1 is then connected to the nozzle body 3, as described above.
