Definitions
- the present invention relates to an abrasive water jet cutting nozzle according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a water jet cutting machine is an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials using a high-pressure jet of water, or a mixture of water and abrasive material. Water jet cutting machines are often used during fabrication of machine parts. Water jet cutting is a preferred method when the material being cut is sensitive to high temperatures generated by other machining methods. It is used in various industries including mining and aerospace for cutting, shaping, and reaming.
- An abrasive water jet cutting machine comprises a water pump which increases the pressure of the water. It also comprises an abrasive water jet cutting nozzle with a jewel element holder comprising a jewel element having a small orifice. The water is forced through the jewel element to generate a high-velocity water jet. The abrasive material is added to the water downstream from the orifice of the jewel element into a mixing chamber, wherein the abrasive material is mixed with the water jet. After passing through the mixing chamber, the abrasive jet exits from the mixing chamber through an elongated outlet nozzle called focusing tube, which accelerates the jet and directs the jet toward the work piece being cut.
- the mixing chamber can be a single component or it can be integrated in the focusing tube.
- a focusing tube which does not comprise a mixing chamber, a mixing chamber which is not integrated in a focusing tube, a focusing tube with integrated mixing chamber and a jewel element holder are all removably insertable in the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle.
- the focusing tube and the mixing chamber are the most wearable parts in the water jet cutting machine due to the presence of abrasive material suspended in the high-velocity water jet and therefore needs to be replaced periodically depending on requested cutting quality requirements.
- the focusing tube, the mixing chamber and the jewel element are in axial alignment. If the focusing tube, the mixing chamber and the jewel element are not concentrically arranged, the water forced through the jewel element will be off centre with respect to the mixing chamber and the jet exiting the mixing chamber will be off centre with respect to the focusing tube. That will result in increased component wear due to collisions between the jet and the inner sides of the mixing chamber and the focusing tube. It may also result in degrading the jet stream itself to such an extent that the cutting ability of the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle is reduced. That results in that the cutting process is slowed and an excess of abrasive material is consumed in performing the cutting operation.
- a problem with abrasive water jet cutting nozzles on the market today is that it is difficult and time consuming to concentrically arrange the jewel element, the mixing chamber and the focusing tube in the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle.
- the fluid path through the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle is several centimetres long and therefore even small alignment errors are enough to cause increased wear.
- the persons who replaces and aligns the jewel element, the mixing chamber and the focusing tube in the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle must have a certain degree of skill to be able to accomplish these tasks. Even if the persons have a certain degree of skill the tasks involves the risk of human error in alignment.
- FIG. 5018670-A An example of a known cutting head for a water jet cutting machine is shown in document US-5018670-A .
- the cutting head disclosed in document US-5018670-A has a generally upright body having a water inlet chamber.
- the cutting head further comprises a coupling having a passage open to the chamber to deliver ultra high pressure water to the chamber.
- An internal threaded sleeve having threads at the upper end of the body accommodates a male threaded end of the coupling. Because the body and the coupling are threadedly connected to each other it is difficult to reach a perfect alignment of the jewel element, the mixing chamber and the focusing tube.
- An improved abrasive water jet cutting nozzle will allow more efficient manufacturing processes and lower manufacturing costs in industries using water jet cutting machines.
- the subject of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks according to prior art.
- the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle comprises a mixing chamber, an abrasive material inlet in communication with the mixing chamber and a focusing tube.
- the focusing tube comprises a first focusing tube portion, a second focusing tube portion, an intermediate focusing tube portion and a conduit.
- the intermediate focusing tube portion is arranged between the first focusing tube portion and the second focusing tube portion.
- the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle further comprises a collet arranged in circumferential abutment to the intermediate focusing tube portion.
- the collet comprises a first collet portion and a second collet portion.
- the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle further comprises a first body having an upper first body portion, a lower first body portion and an intermediate first body portion.
- the intermediate first body portion is arranged between the upper first body portion and the lower first body portion.
- the first body is supporting a jewel element holder comprising a jewel element with an orifice and is arranged in circumferential abutment to the first collet portion, the first focusing tube portion and the mixing chamber.
- the first body comprises a first downwardly diverging frusto conical shaped recess and the collet comprises a first downwardly diverging frusto conical shaped surface adapted to fit in the first downwardly diverging frusto conical shaped recess.
- the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle further comprises a second body.
- the second body comprises an upper second body portion, a lower second body portion and a water inlet.
- the second body is arranged in circumferential abutment to the upper first body portion and the jewel element holder.
- the second body comprises a second downwardly diverging frusto conical shaped recess.
- the first body comprises a second downwardly diverging frusto conical shaped surface adapted to fit into the second downwardly diverging frusto conical shaped recess.
- the first body and the jewel element holder are self centred when inserted into the second body and that the collet, and thereby also the focusing tube and the mixing chamber, are self centred when inserted into the first body.
- the conduit of the focusing tube, the mixing chamber and the orifice of the jewel element are always in axial alignment when inserted in the water jet cutting nozzle.
- the focusing tube, the mixing chamber and the jewel element holder can be removed and replaced with new parts without realigning and an accurate tool centre point, i.e. a point lying on a centre line of the water jet cutting nozzle and at the downstream end thereof, is always maintained.
- the wear due to misalignment is minimized and thereby the life of the focusing tube and the mixing chamber is maximized.
- components with less tight tolerances can be used, which results in an abrasive water jet cutting nozzle that is less time consuming and less expensive to produce. This will in turn allow more efficient manufacturing processes and lower manufacturing costs in industries using water jet cutting machines.
- the jewel element holder is integrated in the first body.
- the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle comprises fewer components. Thereby fewer tolerances need to cooperate with each other and the assembling of the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle's components is simplified.
- the mixing chamber is integrated in the focusing tube.
- the mixing chamber and the focusing tube always are axially aligned.
- the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle comprises fewer components. Thereby fewer tolerances need to cooperate with each other and the assembling of the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle's components is simplified. This also results in that air is prevented from leaking between the mixing chamber and the focusing tube and thereby air is prevented from disturbing the water jet inside the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle.
- the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle further comprises a first locking means arranged in circumferential abutment to the second collet portion and the lower first body portion.
- the first locking means provides for easy and quick replacement of a worn mixing chamber and a worn focusing tube.
- the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle further comprises a second locking means arranged in circumferential abutment to the intermediate first body portion and the lower second body portion.
- the second locking means provides for easy and quick replacement of a worn jewel element and a worn jewel element holder.
- the second body further comprises a third downwardly diverging frusto conical shaped recess.
- the third downwardly diverging frusto conical shaped recess is adapted to fit onto the jewel element holder.
- the abrasive water jet cutting nozzle will allow more efficient manufacturing processes and thereby lower manufacturing costs in industries using water jet cutting machines.
