Definitions
- the invention relates to a plasma torch with removable head, the rapid assembly and disassembly on the base or torch body is by means of a multifunction floating ring.
- Plasma cutting torches with removable heads comprise two main parts that can be assembled or assembled from each other, namely a base or torch body which is usually fixed on a structure, such as a carrier frame provided with a movable beam for example, and a nose or torch head which is removable.
- plasma cutting torches with removable heads are notably known from the documents EP-A-599709 , GB-A-2091594 , EP-A-801882 and EP-A-941018 .
- the base or torch body is an interface between the electrical generator, the high frequency and high voltage box necessary for the arc ignition, the gas control box and the cooling system.
- the pipes and electrical wires coming from the different elements converge towards the base which groups together the various fluid inlets and outlets, namely cooling liquid, plasma gas and protective gas, as well as the electrical connections for the cathode and the electrodes. boot and driver circuits.
- the nose or head of the torch contains the consumables of the torch, namely an electrode, an upstream gas diffuser, an upstream nozzle, a gas downstream diffuser and a downstream nozzle, as well as the internal distribution circuits of the gases and the cooling liquid.
- the other torch head which has just been disengaged from the torch body, that is to say from the base , can be dismantled, used consumables can be extracted and replaced by new consumables.
- the head will be ready to be reassembled when the life limit of consumables of the other head will be reached.
- the assembly / disassembly of a torch head on a torch body is done by means of a ring, generally threaded, which makes it possible to fix the torch head to the base and whose This tightness ensures the tightness of the connections of the fluid conduits and the good contact between the electrical connections.
- This outer cap serves to provide mechanical protection of the consumables, in particular against molten metal projections expelled during cutting, and also allows correct vertical stacking of different consumables in the torch.
- removing the cap from a plasma torch head is an operation that can prove to be laborious for the operator because the ring rotates freely around the outer wall of the torch head and this rotation hinders the operator when he unscrews the cap manually. Indeed, there is little free space to put your hands on the head of the torch, which does not allow a good grip to operate a tightening or loosening of the cap, that is to say to exercise a couple on the cap while holding the rest of the torch head, or vice versa.
- the problem that arises is therefore to be able to easily and manually remove the outer cap of a plasma torch head without encountering the aforementioned problems, in particular the annoyance caused by the rotation of the clamping ring which is usually free to rotate around the peripheral wall of the torch head, when it is detached from the torch body.
- a plasma cutting torch head comprising an upstream end and a downstream end, and a fixing ring movable in rotation and in translation at least at the upstream end of said torch head, characterized in that that the fixing ring further comprises coupling means adapted to and designed to cooperate with receiving means arranged on the torch head for securing the ring to said head so as to prevent any rotation of the ring around the head torch.
- the invention also relates to an assembly formed of a plasma cutting torch head according to the invention secured to a plasma torch body by means of the fixing ring, preferably the torch body is arranged on a frame. carrier or a robot arm.
- the invention also relates to a plasma jet cutting method, in which is implemented a torch head according to the invention or a head / body assembly according to the invention.
- a plasma cutting method is particularly well suited to the cutting of metal materials, in particular sheets or plates of carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum or aluminum alloy.
- the figure 1 represents a detachable head 1 plasma cutting torch according to the invention shown in assembled position on a torch body 2, also called base.
- the attachment of the head 1 to the body 2 is made by screwing on the upstream side 1a of the torch head 1, thanks to a threaded metal ring 3, cooperating with a thread arranged on the body 2 torch.
- a threaded metal ring 3 cooperating with a thread arranged on the body 2 torch.
- fastening systems such as bayonet fasteners for example.
- the ring 3 is normally free and mobile in rotation around the outer peripheral wall of the torch head 1, that is to say around the main axis 7 of the torch, and also in translation along the axis 7 of the torch, which allows to position it correctly so as to cooperate with the thread carried by the body 2 and thus ensure the mounting of the torch head 1 on said body 2.
- the ring 3 comprises coupling means, such as one or more expansions 5, adapted to and designed to cooperate with receiving means 6, arranged on the torch head to secure the ring to said head so as to prevent rotation of the ring 3 around the torch head 1.
- coupling means such as one or more expansions 5, adapted to and designed to cooperate with receiving means 6, arranged on the torch head to secure the ring to said head so as to prevent rotation of the ring 3 around the torch head 1.
- the ring 4 comprises one or more expansions 5 projecting towards the downstream part 1b of the head 1 of the torch, that is to say in the direction of the cap 4, and cooperating with the head 1 of the torch so as to ensure the rotational locking of the ring 4 around the head 1.
- the ring 3 may comprise between 2 and 10 expansions 5 which coincide and cooperate, by translation, with receiving means, such as plates 6, housing or stops, arranged on the head 1 of the torch.
- the ring 3 is positioned by translation and / or rotation so that the expansions 5 of the ring 3 coincide with plates 6 integrated in the head 1 of the torch. In this position, the ring 3 can no longer rotate about the axis 7 of the torch, which makes it easy to grip the torch head 1 and makes it possible to effectively tighten or loosen the cap 4 external on said head 1 of the torch.
- the ring 3 and the expansions 5 are machined in a single block within a metal part.
- the expansions are obtained by cutting and / or grinding said metal part.
- the ring 3 made in general of an electrically conductive material, such as a metal, also makes it possible to ensure electrical continuity between the outside of the base 2 and the head 1 of the torch.
- the metal casing of the ring 3 plays the role of "Faraday cage” by protecting the electronic environment, including digital control, human machine interface ..., electromagnetic radiation generated by the high-voltage signal and high frequency necessary to initiate the arc in such a torch. This has the effect of extending the shielding of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the high voltage (of the order of 10 kV) and the high frequency (of the order of 10 kHz).
- the torch of the invention is particularly suitable for use in a method of plasma cutting metal materials, in particular sheets of carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum or aluminum alloy.
