Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Düse für einen flüssigkeitsgekühlten Plasmabrenner, eine Düsenkappe für einen flüssigkeitsgekühlten Plasmabrenner sowie einen Plasmabrennerkopf mit derselben/denselben.The present invention relates to a nozzle for a liquid-cooled plasma torch, a nozzle cap for a liquid-cooled plasma torch, and a plasma torch head having the same.
Als Plasma wird ein thermisch hoch aufgeheiztes elektrisch leitfähiges Gas bezeichnet, das aus positiven und negativen Ionen, Elektronen sowie angeregten und neutralen Atomen und Molekülen besteht.Plasma is a thermally highly heated electrically conductive gas, which consists of positive and negative ions, electrons and excited and neutral atoms and molecules.
Als Plasmagas werden unterschiedliche Gase, zum Beispiel das einatomige Argon und/oder die zweiatomigen Gase Wasserstoff, Stickstoff, Sauerstoff oder Luft eingesetzt. Diese Gase ionisieren und dissoziieren durch die Energie eines Lichtbogens. Der durch eine Düse eingeschnürte Lichtbogen wird dann als Plasmastrahl bezeichnet.The plasma gas used is a variety of gases, for example the monatomic argon and / or the diatomic gases hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen or air. These gases ionize and dissociate through the energy of an arc. The narrowed by a nozzle arc is then referred to as plasma jet.
Der Plasmastrahl kann in seinen Parametern durch die Gestaltung der Düse und Elektrode stark beeinflusst werden. Diese Parameter des Plasmastrahls sind zum Beispiel der Strahldurchmesser, die Temperatur, Energiedichte und die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des Gases.The plasma jet can be greatly influenced in its parameters by the design of the nozzle and electrode. These parameters of the plasma jet are, for example, the beam diameter, the temperature, the energy density and the flow velocity of the gas.
Beim Plasmaschneiden beispielsweise wird das Plasma durch eine Düse, die gas- oder wassergekühlt sein kann, eingeschnürt. Dadurch können Energiedichten bis 2x106 W/cm2 erreicht werden. Im Plasmastrahl entstehen Temperaturen bis 30.000 °C, die in Verbindung mit der hohen Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des Gases sehr hohe Schneidgeschwindigkeiten an Werkstoffen realisieren.In plasma cutting, for example, the plasma is constricted through a nozzle, which may be gas or water cooled. As a result, energy densities up to 2x10 6 W / cm 2 can be achieved. Temperatures of up to 30,000 ° C are generated in the plasma jet, which, in combination with the high flow velocity of the gas, produce very high cutting speeds on materials.
Plasmabrenner können direkt oder indirekt betrieben werden. Bei der direkten Betriebsweise fließt der Strom von der Stromquelle über die Elektrode des Plasmabrenners, den mittels Lichtbogen erzeugten und durch die Düse eingeschnürten Plasmastrahl direkt über das Werkstück zur Stromquelle zurück. Mit der direkten Betriebsweise können elektrisch leitfähige Materialien geschnitten werden.Plasma torches can be operated directly or indirectly. In the direct mode of operation, the current from the power source flows through the electrode of the plasma torch, the arc generated by the arc and constricted by the nozzle directly back to the power source via the workpiece. With the direct mode of operation, electrically conductive materials can be cut.
Bei der indirekten Betriebsweise fließt der Strom von der Stromquelle über die Elektrode des Plasmabrenners, den mittels Lichtbogen erzeugten und durch die Düse eingeschnürten Plasmastrahl und die Düse zurück zur Stromquelle. Dabei wird die Düse noch stärker belastet als bei direktem Plasmaschneiden, da sie nicht nur den Plasmastrahl einschnürt, sondern auch den Ansatzpunkt des Lichtbogens realisiert. Mit der indirekten Betriebsweise können sowohl elektrisch leitende als auch nicht leitende Materialien geschnitten werden.In the indirect mode, the current flows from the power source through the electrode of the plasma torch, the plasma jet generated by the arc and constricted by the nozzle and the nozzle back to the power source. The nozzle is even more heavily loaded than with direct plasma cutting, because it not only constricts the plasma jet, but also realizes the starting point of the arc. With the indirect mode of operation, both electrically conductive and non-conductive materials can be cut.
Wegen der hohen thermischen Belastung der Düse wird diese in der Regel aus einem metallischen Werkstoff, vorzugsweise wegen seiner hohen elektrischen Leitfähigkeit und Wärmeleitfähigkeit aus Kupfer, hergestellt. Gleiches gilt für den Elektrodenhalter, der aber auch aus Silber hergestellt sein kann. Die Düse wird dann in einem Plasmabrenner, dessen Hauptbestandteile ein Plasmabrennerkopf, eine Düsenkappe, ein Plasmagasführungsteil, eine Düse, eine Düsenhalterung, eine Elektrodenaufnahme, ein Elektrodenhalter mit Elektrodeneinsatz und bei modernen Plasmabrennern eine Düsenschutzkappenhalterung und eine Düsenschutzkappe sind, eingesetzt. Der Elektrodenhalter fixiert einen spitzen Elektrodeneinsatz aus Wolfram, der für den Einsatz nicht oxidierender Gase als Plasmagas, zum Beispiel ein Argon-Wasserstoff-Gemisch geeignet ist. Eine sogenannte Flachelektrode, deren Elektrodeneinsatz beispielsweise aus Hafnium besteht, ist auch für den Einsatz oxidierender Gase als Plasmagas, zum Beispiel Luft oder Sauerstoff, geeignet. Um eine hohe Lebensdauer für die Düse zu erreichen, wird diese hier mit einer Flüssigkeit, zum Beispiel Wasser, gekühlt. Das Kühlmittel wird über einen Wasservorlauf zur Düse hin- und einen Wasserrücklauf von der Düse weggeführt und durchströmt dabei einen Kühlmittelraum, der durch die Düse und die Düsenkappe begrenzt wird.Because of the high thermal load of the nozzle, this is usually made of a metallic material, preferably because of its high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of copper. The same applies to the electrode holder, which can also be made of silver. The nozzle is then inserted into a plasma torch whose main components are a plasma torch head, a nozzle cap, a plasma gas guide member, a nozzle, a nozzle holder, an electrode holder, an electrode holder with electrode insert and in modern plasma torches a nozzle cap holder and a nozzle cap. The electrode holder fixes a tungsten tip insert which is suitable for the use of non-oxidizing gases as plasma gas, for example an argon-hydrogen mixture. A so-called flat electrode, whose electrode insert consists for example of hafnium, is also suitable for the use of oxidizing gases as plasma gas, for example air or oxygen. In order to achieve a long service life for the nozzle, it is cooled here with a liquid, for example water. The coolant is directed towards the nozzle via a water feed and a water return from the nozzle and flows through a coolant space which is delimited by the nozzle and the nozzle cap.

Bei den vorangehend beschriebenen Plasmabrennern wird das Kühlmittel über einen Wasservorlaufkanal zur Düse hin- und über einen Wasserrücklaufkanal von der Düse weggeführt. Diese Kanäle sind meist um 180° zueinander versetzt und das Kühlmittel soll auf dem Weg vom Vor- zum Rücklauf die Düse möglichst gleichmäßig umspülen. Dennoch werden immer wieder Überhitzungen in der Nähe des Düsenkanals festgestellt.In the plasma torches described above, the coolant is led back to the nozzle via a water feed channel and away from the nozzle via a water return channel. These channels are usually offset by 180 ° to each other and the coolant should flow around the nozzle as evenly as possible on the way from the flow to the return. Nevertheless, overheating in the vicinity of the nozzle channel are repeatedly found.
Eine andere Kühlmittelführung für einen Brenner, vorzugsweise Plasmabrenner, insbesondere für Plasmaschweiß-, Plasmaschneid-, Plasmaschmelz- und Plasmaspritzzwecke, die hohen thermischen Beanspruchungen der Düse und der Katode standhält, ist in
Diese Anordnung hat wiederum den Nachteil, dass ein höherer Aufwand für die Kühlung durch die Verwendung eines zusätzlichen Bauteils, den Kühlmedienleitring, notwendig ist. Außerdem vergrößert sich dadurch die gesamte Anordnung.This arrangement in turn has the disadvantage that a higher outlay for the cooling by the use of an additional component, the Kühlmedienleitring, is necessary. In addition, this increases the entire arrangement.
Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, auf einfache Weise eine Überhitzung in der Nähe des Düsenkanals bzw. der Düsenbohrung zu vermeiden.The invention is therefore based on the object to avoid overheating in the vicinity of the nozzle channel or the nozzle bore in a simple manner.

- eine Düse nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 19,
- eine Düsenhalterung zur Halterung der Düse, und
- A nozzle according to any one of claims 1 to 19,
- a nozzle holder for holding the nozzle, and

Mit im wesentlich zylindrisch soll gemeint sein, dass die Außenfläche zumindest bei Wegdenken der Nuten, wie Flüssigkeitszulauf- und -rücklaufnuten, im Großen und Ganzen zylindrisch ist. In analoger Weise soll "im wesentlichen kegelig verjüngt" bedeuten, dass die Außenfläche zumindest bei Wegdenken der Nuten, wie Flüssigkeitszulauf- und -rücklaufnuten, im Großen und Ganzen kegelig verjüngt ist.Further, the present invention provides a nozzle for a liquid-cooled plasma torch comprising a nozzle bore for the exit of a plasma jet at a nozzle tip, a first portion whose outer surface is substantially cylindrical, and a second portion adjoining the nozzle tip, the outer surface of which faces the nozzle tip is tapered substantially conically, wherein a) at least one Flüssigkeitszulaufnut is provided and extending over a portion of the first portion and the second portion in the outer surface of the nozzle to the nozzle tip and exactly one of the liquid or the Flüssigkeitszulaufnut (s) separate Flüssigkeitsrücklaufnut is provided and extends over the second portion, or b) exactly one Flüssigkeitszulaufnut is provided and extending over a portion of the first portion and the second portion in the outer surface of the nozzle to the nozzle tip and at least one liquid return groove separate from the liquid inlet groove is provided and extends over the second portion. By substantially cylindrical is intended to mean that the outer surface is, at least when thinking away of the grooves, such as liquid inlet and -rücklaufnuten, by and large cylindrical. In an analogous manner, "substantially conically tapered" means that the outer surface at least at Thinking away the grooves, like liquid inlet and return grooves, is tapered conically on the whole.

Auf diese Weise wird ein Nebenschluss vom Kühlmittelzulauf zum Kühlmittelrücklauf besonders elegant vermieden.According to a particular embodiment of the plasma burner head, the nozzle has one or two Kühlflüssigkeitszulaufnut (s), and the nozzle cap on its inner surface at least two, in particular exactly three, recesses whose openings facing the nozzle each extend over an arc length (b 2 ), wherein the arc length of the circumferentially adjacent to the Kühlflüssigkeitszulaufnut (s) adjacent to the or Kühlflüssigkeitszulaufnut (s) outwardly projecting portions of the nozzle is greater than the arc length (d4, e4). In this way, a shunt from the coolant inlet to the coolant return is particularly elegant avoided.

Der Erfindung liegt die überraschende Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass durch Zuführen und/oder Abführen der Kühlflüssigkeit im rechten Winkel zur Längsachse des Plasmabrennerkopfes statt - wie im Stand der Technik - parallel zur Längsachse des Plasmabrennerkopfes, eine bessere Kühlung der Düse durch deutlich längeren Kontakt der Kühlflüssigkeit mit der Düse erzielt wird.The invention is based on the surprising finding that by supplying and / or removing the cooling liquid at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the plasma burner head instead of - as in the prior art - parallel to the longitudinal axis of the plasma burner head, a better cooling of the nozzle by significantly longer contact of the cooling liquid the nozzle is achieved.
Wenn mehr als eine Kühlflüssigkeitszulaufnut vorgesehen sind, so lässt sich damit im Bereich der Düsenspitze eine besonders gute Verwirbelung der Kühlflüssigkeit durch das Aufeinandertreffen der Kühlflüssigkeitsströme erzielen, die üblicherweise auch mit einer besseren Kühlung der Düse einhergeht.If more than one Kühlflüssigkeitszulaufnut are provided, it can thus be achieved in the nozzle tip a particularly good turbulence of the cooling liquid by the meeting of the cooling liquid flows, which is usually accompanied by a better cooling of the nozzle.

In der nachfolgenden Beschreibung werden Ausführungsformen gezeigt, die mindestens eine Flüssigkeitslaufnut, hier als Kühlflüssigkeitszulaufnut bezeichnet und genau eine Flüssigkeitsrücklaufnut, hier als Kühlflüssigkeitsrücklaufnut bezeichnet, aufweisen. Die Erfindung ist darauf jedoch nicht beschränkt. Genauso gut können die Anzahl an Flüssigkeitszulaufnuten und Flüssigkeitsrückaufnuten vertauscht werden bzw. umgekehrt sein.In the following description, embodiments are shown which have at least one Flüssigkeitslaufnut, here referred to as Kühlflüssigkeitszulaufnut and exactly one liquid return groove, here referred to as Kühlflüssigkeitsrücklaufnut. However, the invention is not limited thereto. Just as well, the number of liquid inlet grooves and Flüssigkeitsrückaufnuten can be reversed or vice versa.

Ein Kühlflüssigkeit, z. B. Wasser oder mit Gefrierschutzmittel versetztes Wasser durchströmt den Kühlflüssigkeitsraum 10 von einer Bohrung des Kühlflüssigkeitsvorlaufs WV zu einer Bohrung des Kühlflüssigkeitsrücklaufs WR, wobei die Bohrungen um 180° zueinander versetzt angeordnet sind.A cooling liquid, eg. As water or antifreeze added water flows through the
Bei Plasmabrennern im Stand der Technik kommt es immer wieder zur Überhitzung der Düse 4 im Bereich der Düsenbohrung 4.10. Es kann aber auch zu Überhitzungen zwischen dem zylindrischen Abschnitt der Düse 4 und der Düsenhalterung 5 kommen. Dies trifft insbesondere auf Plasmabrenner, die mit hohem Pilotstrom oder indirekt betrieben werden, zu. Dies zeigt sich durch Verfärbung des Kupfers nach kurzer Betriebszeit. Hier treten schon bei Strömen von 40A Verfärbungen nach kurzer Zeit (z.B. 5 Minuten) auf. Ebenso wird die Dichtstelle zwischen Düse 4 und Düsenkappe 2 überlastet, was zur Beschädigung des Rundrings 4.16 und damit zur Undichtigkeit und Kühlflüssigkeitsaustritt führt. Untersuchungen haben ergeben, dass dieser Effekt besonders auf der dem Kühlflüssigkeitsrücklauf zugewandten Seite der Düse 4 auftritt. Es wird angenommen, das der thermisch am höchsten beanspruchte Bereich, die Düsenbohrung 4.10 der Düse 4 unzureichend gekühlt wird, weil die Kühlflüssigkeit den der Düsenbohrung am nächsten liegenden Teil 10.20 des Kühlflüssigkeitsraumes 10 unzureichend durchströmt und/oder diesen insbesondere auf der dem Kühlflüssigkeitsrücklauf zugewandten Seite gar nicht erreicht.In plasma torches in the prior art, overheating of the

Weiterhin ist der Plasmabrennerkopf 1 mit einer Düsenschutzkappenhalterung 8 und einer Düsenschutzkappe 9 ausgestattet. Durch diesen Bereich strömt das Sekundärgas SG, in den Plasmastrahl umgibt. Das Sekundärgas SG durchströmt eine Sekundärgasführung 9.1 und kann durch diese in Rotation versetzt werden.Furthermore, the plasma burner head 1 is equipped with a nozzle
So wird eine wirksame Kühlung der Düse 4 im Bereich der Düsenspitze erreicht und eine thermische Überlastung verhindert. Es wird sichergestellt, dass möglichst viel Kühlflüssigkeit den Raum 10.20 des Kühlmittelraums 10 erreicht. Es kam bei Versuchen zu keiner Verfärbung der Düse im Bereich der Düsenbohrung 4.10 mehr. Auch traten Undichtigkeiten zwischen der Düse 4 und der Düsenkappe 2 nicht mehr auf und der Rundring 4.16 wurde nicht überhitzt.Thus, an effective cooling of the
