Cathode head for plasma device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of plasma torches, and relates to a cathode head for a plasma device.
Background
Plasma torches are devices that generate high temperature plasma and have found wide application in high temperature heat sources. The structure of the device comprises a cathode assembly, an anode assembly, a water cooling system, a gas system and the like, wherein a nozzle center hole at the front end of a cathode head is a plasma arc channel, and internal high-temperature plasma transfers heat to the nozzle and internal water flow of the cathode head by means of water cooling of the inner wall of the anode and water cooling and heat conduction of the cathode head.
In the structure, the cathode head in the cathode part is a core part for striking an arc, and the working environment is relatively bad, so that the cathode head becomes a vulnerable part in the whole system structure, and the service life of the cathode head directly influences the working efficiency and the running cost of the plasma torch.
