Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative aux torches de travail à l'arc plasma à allumage par court-circuit. Elle concerne en premier lieu une électrode pour une telle torche, du type comprenant un support électroconducteur ayant une extrémité munie d'un insert émissif, notamment en zirconium ou en hafnium.The present invention relates to plasma arc work torches with short-circuit ignition. It relates firstly to an electrode for such a torch, of the type comprising an electroconductive support having an end provided with an emissive insert, in particular made of zirconium or hafnium.
Les torches de coupage plasma fonctionnant sous gaz plasmagène oxydant sont généralement équipées d'une cathode émissive en zirconium ou en hafnium, insérée dans une pièce en cuivre tenant lieu de support électroconducteur et de refroidisseur, l'ensemble étant communément appelé électrode.Plasma cutting torches operating under oxidizing plasma gas are generally equipped with an emissive cathode of zirconium or hafnium, inserted in a copper part acting as an electroconductive support and cooler, the assembly being commonly called electrode.
Lors du fonctionnement de la torche, la racine de l'arc s'accroche au centre de la cathode, où il se forme progressivement un cratère à la surface duquel se développe une couche d'oxyde de zirconium ou de hafnium. A chaud, cet oxyde est fluide et conducteur et permet l'émission cathodique. Lorsque l'arc plasma est interrompu, l'oxyde se solidifie et devient isolant. A la solidification, il se forme fréquemment, en périphérie du cratère, un bourrelet d'oxyde qui fait saillie sur la surface frontale de l'insert.During the operation of the torch, the root of the arc clings to the center of the cathode, where a crater gradually forms on the surface of which a layer of zirconium oxide or hafnium develops. When hot, this oxide is fluid and conductive and allows cathodic emission. When the plasma arc is interrupted, the oxide solidifies and becomes insulating. Upon solidification, an oxide bead frequently forms on the periphery of the crater, which protrudes from the front surface of the insert.
Dans les agencements connus, l'insert affleure la face d'extrémité du support. Par suite, le bourrelet d'oxyde fait saillie au-delà de cette face d'extrémité. Si ce bourrelet ne présente aucun caractère gênant dans le cas d'une torche conventionnelle, où électrode et tuyère sont fixes et où l'établissement de l'arc est initié par une décharge haute fréquence, dans le cas de torches à allumage par court-circuit, telles que décrites dans les documents FR-A-2 556 549 et 2 562 748, où l'allumage de l'arc est obtenu en réalisant un court-circuit entre l'électrode et la tuyère, il arrive que ce bourrelet d'oxyde forme une barrière électriquement isolante qui empêche le passage fiable du courant entre l'électrode et la tuyère et, par suite, l'allumage fiable de l'arc.In known arrangements, the insert is flush with the end face of the support. As a result, the oxide bead protrudes beyond this end face. If this bead has no annoying character in the case of a conventional torch, where the electrode and nozzle are fixed and where the establishment of the arc is initiated by a high frequency discharge, in the case of torches with short-ignition circuit, as described in documents FR-A-2 556 549 and 2 562 748, where the ignition of the arc is obtained by producing a short circuit between the electrode and the nozzle, it sometimes happens that this bead d The oxide forms an electrically insulating barrier which prevents the reliable passage of current between the electrode and the nozzle and, consequently, the reliable ignition of the arc.
L'invention a pour but d'améliorer la fiabilité de l'allumage de l'arc dans les torches à allumage par court-circuit, avec un agencement simple et n'obérant pas les coûts de fabrication des torches. A cet effet, elle a pour objet une électrode pour torche de travail à l'arc plasma, du type précité, caractérisée en ce qu'une partie de l'extrémité du support située autour de l'insert comporte au moins une portion en matériau électroconducteur faisant saillie axialement par rapport à l'insert.The object of the invention is to improve the reliability of the ignition of the arc in short-circuit ignition torches, with a simple arrangement and not incurring the costs of manufacturing the torches. To this end, it relates to an electrode for a plasma arc work torch, of the aforementioned type, characterized in that a part of the end of the support situated around the insert comprises at least one portion of material electroconductive protruding axially with respect to the insert.
Suivant des caractéristiques plus particulières :
- la portion en saillie, avantageusement circulaire, est venue de matière avec le support ;
- l'insert est monté dans un évidement ménagé dans le fond d'un lamage circulaire creusé dans la face d'extrémité du support.
- the projecting portion, advantageously circular, came integrally with the support;
- the insert is mounted in a recess in the bottom of a circular counterbore hollowed out in the end face of the support.
L'invention a également pour objet une torche de travail à l'arc plasma, du type comprenant un corps de torche dans lequel une électrode ayant une face d'extrémité dans laquelle est monté un insert émissif, et une tuyère ayant une face interne en regard de la face d'extrémité, sont montées mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre entre une première position de travail, où lesdites faces sont espacées l'une de l'autre et une seconde position où lesdites faces sont en contact mutuel, caractérisée en ce que, dans la seconde position, un espace est ménagé entre l'insert et la portion en regard de la face interne de la tuyère.The invention also relates to a plasma arc work torch, of the type comprising a torch body in which an electrode having an end face in which an emissive insert is mounted, and a nozzle having an internal face in look of the end face, are mounted movable relative to each other between a first working position, where said faces are spaced from each other and a second position where said faces are in mutual contact , characterized in that, in the second position, a space is provided between the insert and the portion facing the internal face of the nozzle.
Un exemple de réalisation de l'invention va maintenant être décrit en regard du dessin annexé, sur lequel :
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique partielle en coupe axiale d'une torche de coupage plasma conforme à l'invention ; et
- la figure 2 est une vue en coupe axiale à plus grande échelle de la partie d'extrémité de l'électrode.
- Figure 1 is a partial schematic view in axial section of a plasma cutting torch according to the invention; and
- Figure 2 is an axial sectional view on a larger scale of the end portion of the electrode.
La torche représentée à la figure 1 dans la mesure nécessaire à la compréhension de l'invention est pour l'essentiel celle décrite dans le document FR-A-2 556 549 précité. Elle possède une symétrie générale d'axe X-X supposé vertical et comprend un corps tubulaire 1 dans lequel est fixée une électrode axiale 2. Un porte-tuyère 3, vissé sur le corps 1, définit un épaulement de butée 4 pour une tuyère 5 en forme de coupelle montée coulissante axialement et sollicitée vers l'épaulement 4 par un ressort 6 et, en service, également par la pression du gaz plasmagène arrivant par l'espace annulaire 7 existant entre le corps 1 et l'électrode 2.The torch shown in Figure 1 to the extent necessary for understanding the invention is essentially that described in the document FR-A-2 556 549 cited above. It has a general symmetry of axis XX supposed to be vertical and comprises a tubular body 1 in which is fixed an
Ainsi la tuyère 5, qui est percée d'un trou axial central 8 pour la sortie de l'arc et du plasma, est mobile axialement entre une position normale de travail, telle que représentée, espacée de l'extrémité inférieure de l'électrode, et une seconde position d'allumage de l'arc par court-circuit, dans laquelle la face transversale interne de la tuyère vient en contact avec la face d'extrémité inférieure 9 de l'électrode en prenant appui sur la pièce métallique à découper (non représentée), une tension électrique étant appliquée entre l'électrode et cette pièce.Thus the
L'électrode 2 comprend essentiellement un support électroconducteur en cuivre 10 dont la face d'extrémité 9 est plane et horizontale. Un lamage cylindrique 11 est usiné dans la face d'extrémité, et dans le fond plat et horizontal 12 de ce dernier est ménagé un évidement cylindrique borgne 13 de plus petit diamètre. Un insert émissif cathodique 14, constitué d'un bloc cylindrique en zirconium ou en hafnium, est emmanché à force dans l'évidement 13, affleurant avec le fond 12 du lamage ou faisant légèrement saillie par rapport à ce dernier. De cette façon, dans la seconde position, un espace axial est ménagé entre l'extrémité de l'insert 1 et la portion en regard de la face interne de la tuyère 5.The
Après un certain temps d'utilisation avec un gaz plasmagène oxydant, qui est par exemple de l'air ou de l'oxygène, la partie centrale de l'insert 14 forme un cratère 15 dont la périphérie est recouverte d'un bourrelet circulaire 16 d'oxyde de zirconium ou de hafnium électriquement isolant à froid (figure 2). Grâce à la présence du lamage 11, ce bourrelet 16 ne fait pas saillie au-delà de la face d'extrémité 9 du support 10, de sorte que l'allumage de l'arc par court-circuit peut continuer de s'effectuer de façon fiable.After a certain period of use with an oxidizing plasma gas, which is for example air or oxygen, the central part of the
En variante, on comprend que le même résultat peut être obtenu lorsque le lamage est ménagé, avec un diamètre analogue, dans la face interne de la tuyère 5 tournée vers l'électrode, comme représenté en trait mixte en 11A à la figure 1, l'insert 13 pouvant alors être affleurant avec la face d'extrémité 9 de la cathode.As a variant, it is understood that the same result can be obtained when the counterbore is formed, with a similar diameter, in the internal face of the
