Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電極材端部まで空冷もしくは水冷等の冷却経路を設けたアーク加工用トーチに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
電極材を取り付ける電極基材に冷却経路を設けて冷却するアーク加工用トーチとして、従来のものは次の2通りの冷却構造を採用している。
【0003】
1つ目のものは、電極基材の中心軸でかつ外側の部分に電極材を埋設する穴を設け、かつ電極基材の内部に冷却経路を設けているもので、電極基材を介して電極材を間接的に冷却している。
【0004】
2つ目のものは、電極基材の中心軸でかつ外側の部分に電極材を嵌め込む貫通孔を設け、かつ電極基材の内部に中心軸と同心状で前記貫通孔と連通する冷却経路を設けているもので、電極材の端部を冷却経路にて直接冷却している。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来の構成では、次のような課題があった。
【0006】
1つ目の構成では、電極材の固定や保持をし易いものの、電極材の冷却が間接的に行われるため、電極材の寿命を短くするという課題があった。
【0007】
2つ目の構成では、電極材を十分に冷却できるものの、電極材が冷却水や冷却風によって電極基材から外れる方向に付勢されるため、電極材の取り付け状態によってはアーク発生中に電極材が電極基材からズレて行くという課題があった。
【0008】
また、冷却経路がトーチ中心軸上に設けられているものは、トーチ本体方向に電極材が移動すると電極材からのアークによってトーチ本体が損傷する場合があった。
【0009】
本発明は、上記課題を解決し、電極材の寿命を延ばすことができるアーク加工用トーチを提供することを目的とする。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、内部に冷却経路を設けた電極基材と、前記電極基材の冷却経路に端部を位置させ、かつ前記端部と反対側をトーチ外部に向けてトーチ中心軸上に配置するとともに前記電極基材に設けた電極材と、前記電極基材の内部の前記トーチ中心軸上に配置されたオリフィスを備え、前記オリフィスにより冷却経路をトーチ中心軸から偏心させるものである。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
上記構成によれば、電極材端部が直接に冷却されるので電極の寿命を延ばすことができるとともに、トーチ中心軸上にオリフィスの無垢部を配置したので、仮に電極材がズレたときにも無垢部で電極材の移動を規制できるとともに、この無垢部でアークを受けることができるので、トーチ本体の損傷を阻止できる。
【0012】
以下、本発明の実施の形態につき、第1図に沿って説明する。
1は銅または銅合金等からなる電極基材、2は電極基材の先端に挿入されハフニウム、ジルコニウム、タングステン等の高融点の金属からなる電極材、3は電極基材の電極材挿入と反対側に設けられた空洞部、4は電極材端部を冷却するために空洞部より電極基材の内部に挿入された銅または銅合金等からなるオリフィス、5は電極基材内部にオリフィスにより形成された冷却経路、6は電極基材に電極材、オリフィスを挿入してなる電極が、7は電極が螺合等により着脱できるトーチ本体、8は電極の中心軸、9は電極材端部まで通じる冷却経路が電極基材内で電極の中心軸を通過せずに中心軸から偏心して通じる冷却経路の偏流部、10は冷却経路の偏流部を設けるためにオリフィスの中心軸上の一部を無垢とした無垢部である。
【0013】
本実施の形態のアーク加工用トーチはトーチ本体に脱着可能な電極を長寿命化するために電極材端部まで通じるように冷却経路が設けられている。
【0014】
またオリフィスの中心軸上に無垢部を設けたことでアーク発生中に電極材が電極基材から離脱しトーチ本体方向に移動した場合、無垢部により電極材の移動を阻止することができ、トーチ本体焼損を防ぐことが出来る。この無垢部の中心軸方向の厚みは2mm以上とする。無垢部の厚みが2mm未満の場合電極材のアークにより無垢部を貫通してトーチ本体を焼損する場合がある。
【0015】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、電極材端部まで通じる冷却経路を中心軸から偏心させるためにオリフィスの中心軸上の一部に無垢部を設けることで電極を長寿命化するとともに、アーク発生中に電極材が電極基材から離脱しトーチ本体方向に移動した場合のトーチ本体焼損を防ぐことが出来る優れた効果を奏するものである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an arc machining torch provided with a cooling path such as air cooling or water cooling to an end portion of an electrode material.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As an arc machining torch for cooling by providing a cooling path to an electrode base material to which an electrode material is attached, the conventional one employs the following two cooling structures.
[0003]
The first one is a central axis of the electrode base material and a hole for embedding the electrode material in the outer part, and a cooling path is provided inside the electrode base material. The electrode material is indirectly cooled.
[0004]
The second one is a cooling path that is provided with a through-hole into which the electrode material is fitted in the central axis of the electrode base material and on the outer portion, and that is concentric with the central axis and communicates with the through-hole inside the electrode base material. The end of the electrode material is directly cooled by the cooling path.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional configuration has the following problems.
[0006]
In the first configuration, although it is easy to fix and hold the electrode material, since the electrode material is indirectly cooled, there is a problem of shortening the life of the electrode material.
[0007]
In the second configuration, although the electrode material can be sufficiently cooled, the electrode material is energized in a direction away from the electrode base material by cooling water or cooling air. There was a problem that the material shifted from the electrode substrate.
[0008]
Further, in the case where the cooling path is provided on the central axis of the torch, when the electrode material moves in the direction of the torch body, the torch body may be damaged by an arc from the electrode material.
[0009]
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide an arc machining torch capable of extending the life of an electrode material.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, an electrode base material provided with a cooling path therein, an end portion positioned on the cooling path of the electrode base material, and a side opposite to the end portion facing the outside of the torch, the torch central axis comprising an electrode material provided on the electrode substrate while arranged above the interior of the orifice disposed on the torch central axis of the electrode substrate, a cooling path through the orifice in which is decentered from the torch central axis is there.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to the above configuration, the end of the electrode material is directly cooled, so that the life of the electrode can be extended, and the solid portion of the orifice is arranged on the central axis of the torch, so that even when the electrode material is displaced, The movement of the electrode material can be restricted at the solid portion, and the arc can be received at the solid portion, so that damage to the torch body can be prevented.
[0012]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
1 is an electrode base material made of copper or copper alloy, 2 is an electrode material made of a high melting point metal such as hafnium, zirconium, or tungsten inserted at the tip of the electrode base material, 3 is opposite to the electrode material insertion of the electrode base material Cavity part provided on the side, 4 is an orifice made of copper or copper alloy or the like inserted into the electrode base material from the cavity part to cool the end of the electrode material, 5 is formed by an orifice inside the electrode base material 6 is an electrode material inserted into an electrode base material, an electrode formed by inserting an orifice, 7 is a torch body to which the electrode can be attached and detached by screwing or the like, 8 is a central axis of the electrode, 9 is an end of the electrode material The cooling path through which the cooling path communicates does not pass through the center axis of the electrode without passing through the center axis of the electrode in the electrode base material, and a part 10 on the central axis of the orifice is provided to provide the drift part of the cooling path. It is an innocent part.
[0013]
In the arc machining torch according to the present embodiment, a cooling path is provided so as to lead to the end of the electrode material in order to extend the life of the electrode that can be attached to and detached from the torch body.
[0014]
In addition, by providing a solid part on the central axis of the orifice, when the electrode material is detached from the electrode base material and moves in the direction of the torch body during arc generation, the movement of the electrode material can be prevented by the solid part. Body burnout can be prevented. The thickness of the solid part in the central axis direction is 2 mm or more. When the thickness of the solid part is less than 2 mm, the torch body may be burned out by penetrating the solid part by an arc of the electrode material.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, in order to decenter the cooling path leading to the end of the electrode material from the central axis, a solid portion is provided on a part of the central axis of the orifice to prolong the life of the electrode, and the electrode is generated during arc generation. This has an excellent effect of preventing burning of the torch body when the material is detached from the electrode substrate and moved toward the torch body.
