Definitions
- the present invention relates to a set electrode body / electrode holder for plasma torch, a plasma torch provided with such an assembly and at a plasma arc welding, cutting or marking process likely to implement such a torch.
- plasma torches consist of a torch body with, in its rear part, connections to supply pipes in fluid, especially in plasma gas, and in current electric and, in its front part, means of mounting the electrode body and the nozzle.
- the torch can be provided with means assembly / disassembly, as described in EP-A-599709.
- This document teaches a plasma torch having a torch support with a first support face and fluid circuits; a unitary torch body assembly with an electrode, a nozzle, fluid circuits and a second support face; and assembly means for quickly assemble the unitary torch body assembly to the torch holder so that the first side support comes into axial support against the second support face and that the fluid circuits of the torch holder come to communicate with the fluid circuits of the unitary torch body assembly.
- the actual electrode is generally carried by a support element, also called electrode body, which furthermore performs a function of radiator by allowing the evacuation of part of the heat given off during welding, cutting or plasma marking, by heat exchange with a cooling.
- the electrode body has a shape of threaded sleeve of circular section. Tapping practiced on part of the peripheral surface inside of the sleeve ensures fixing by screwing the electrode body onto the electrode holder, which carries an additional thread on its outer circumference.
- the aim of the present invention is therefore to alleviate the aforementioned problems by proposing a set male / female for plasma torch whose structure allows, in particular, to improve the centering of the electrode body on the electrode holder without require an increase in the length of the threads fixation.
- the invention also relates to a torch with plasma as given in claims 9 to 11 and on an automatic welding, cutting or plasma arc marking equipped with a plasma torch.
- the invention further relates to a method of cutting, welding or plasma arc marking likely to use a plasma torch according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a diagram of a section longitudinal of part of the distal end of a male / female assembly fitted to a plasma torch according to prior art.
- This male / female set 1 consists an electrode holder 4 whose distal end 4 'carries a 5 'thread on part of its peripheral wall external, of an electrode body 3 carrying a thread 5 fitted on part of its internal peripheral wall from its proximal end 3 'and supporting, in addition, the actual electrode 2.
- the electrode body 3 has substantially the shape of a sleeve and is fixed only by screwing on the electrode holder 4 via thread 5 'and tapping 5 carried, respectively, by said distal 4 'and proximal 3' ends.
- the threaded portions 5 'and threaded 5 not only provide centering and positioning of the electrode body 3 on the electrode holder 4, but also their maintenance in contact with one with the other.
- the dip tube 6 ensures the routing a coolant which sweeps the internal walls of electrode body 3 and electrode holder 4, so as to ensure cooling of these by heat exchange.
- the body electrode 3 is made of a metal or an alloy metallic, for example a copper alloy.
- the electrode 2 is an electrode for cutting, plasma arc welding or marking which may or may not, depending on the case, include a recess or protrusion of its downstream end, which can be made in one material chosen in particular from hafnium, zirconium and tungsten.
- the male / female assembly 1 represented in FIG. 1 has several drawbacks, in particular of achieving imperfect or incorrect centering of the electrode body 3 on the electrode holder 4, since said centering is only ensured by the threaded parts 5 and 5 '.
- Figures 2 to 8 show, for their part, electrode holder 3 or electrode body 4 diagrams according to the present invention taken in isolation or in association in a male / female set.
- FIG. 3 represents a view in longitudinal section of an identical male / female assembly to that of FIG. 2, but angularly offset by one angle of about 45 °, as shown in Figure 3a.
- a male / female assembly 11 comprising an electrode 2 carried by an electrode body 3, said electrode electrode body 3 being fixed by means of its 3 'proximal end, by screwing on the electrode holder 4 by means of the 15 'threaded and tapped parts 15.
- the internal thread 15 is arranged on the proximal part of the internal wall of the electrode body 3 (see figures 4 and 5) and the thread 15 'is carried by part of the outer peripheral wall of electrode holder 4 (see figure 6).
- the inside of the electrode body 3 has been machined so as to present, in cross section, a hexagonal shape (H), near its end proximal 3 ', as shown schematically in Figure 5.
- a 4 "template has been installed on the distal end 4 'of the electrode holder 4 (see figure 6) to be able to adapt to the new configuration internal of the electrode body 3. More precisely, as it can be seen in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the distal end 4 ′ of the electrode holder 4 has been extended towards electrode 2 and template 4 " located on its present outer wall, in section transverse, at least locally complementary to that of the inner wall of the body electrode 3, that is, here, a shape also hexagonal, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 6A.
- recesses 8 and / or the 4 "gauge is not necessarily a symmetrical shape, such as in particular polygonal shapes convex or concave or multi-lobed forms.
- the recesses 8 and the template 4 can take on more or less complex forms, partially or completely complementary to each other, in the measure that the relative sliding by nesting of the electrode holder and electrode body is assured.
- a 15 'thread was fitted on the wall external device of said electrode holder 4, so able to cooperate, by screwing, with thread 15 carried by the electrode body 3.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 The placement of the electrode body 3 on the electrode holder 4 is detailed in FIGS. 7 and 8.
- This implementation consists of a phase of mounting ( Figure 7) and a tightening phase (Figure 8).
- the assembly phase ( Figure 7) we introduce the electrode holder (4) inside the sleeve that constitutes the electrode body 3, according to a movement of translation until the start of the 15 'thread, said 15 'thread serving as a stop.
- the phase tightening ( Figure 8), we operate a proper screwing 15 'threaded and tapped / hollowed out parts 15 one with the other.
- the centering of the electrode body 3 on the electrode holder 4 is obtained by guidance / positioning of the 4 "template carried by the electrode holder 4 by the internal peripheral wall of the housing 16, that is to say of the part of the electrode holder 3 having a diameter D2, as shown in Figure 4.
- the diameter D1 of the part threaded / machined 15 is less than the diameter D2 of the housing 16 located between said threaded portion 15 and the bottom of the electrode body 3 (see Figure 4).
- orifices 9, here 4 in number have been made within the end 4 'of the electrode holder 4, which 9 holes allow the flow of cooling channeled through channel 6 'of the tube plunger 6.
- This cooling flow can thus go in contact with the internal wall of the electrode body 3 in order to ensure efficient cooling thereof and better than the cooling obtained conventionally.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram, in longitudinal section, an electrode body 3 similar to that of FIGS. 2 and 3, shown not attached to an electrode holder.
- the electrode body 3 has a sleeve shape carrying at its distal end the electrode 2 and at its proximal end 3 ', on its internal peripheral wall, a thread 15 in length d, within which recesses 8 are made, so as to present a hexagonal cross section H.
- Figure 6 is a diagram of an electrode holder 4 according to the invention bearing on its 4 ′ end, a 15 'thread intended to come to cooperate by screwing with the tapping 15 of the electrode body 3 of FIG. 4 and, in in addition, a 4 "template with a complementary profile recesses 8 made within the internal thread 15 of the body electrode 3.
- the dimension D3 of the template 4 "of the electrode holder 4 is less, by the value of a functional clearance, than diameter D2 of the housing 16 of the electrode body 3 for allow the relative movement of a part with respect to the other, but close enough or close enough to ensure the desired centering effect, and therefore allow correct positioning of the electrode body 3 on said electrode holder 4.
- the male / female assembly 11 according to the invention can equip manual or automatic plasma torches.
