Definitions

the present invention relates to plasma cutting torches, of the type comprising a torch body comprising an electrode and a nozzle, and means for mounting and connecting the torch body.
Plasma cutting torches conventionally comprise a one-piece torch body with, at the rear, connections to pipes for supplying fluid and electrical energy and means for fixing to a frame or a working machine, and, to the front, means for mounting the electrode and the nozzle.
the disassembly of these torches, for maintenance operations or replacement of worn or defective parts, requires delicate and long disassembly and reassembly operations, which immobilize the production machine for a significant time and which most often require make new torch positioning adjustments before restarting production.
the object of the present invention is to propose a new torch architecture, of modular design, allowing rapid and easy replacement of the torch body and / or of its constituent elements and eliminating the problems of re-adjustment of positioning after reassembly.
the torch comprises a torch support defining a first series of fluid passages connectable to respective circuits for supplying said fluids and a first support face, a unitary body of torch comprising the electrode and the nozzle and comprising a second series of fluid passages and a second bearing face, and quick assembly means for assembling the torch body assembly and the torch support with the first and second bearing faces in axial bearing against one another and with the passages of the first series communicating with the respective passages of the second series.
a plasma cutting torch generally comprises a torch support A, intended to be mounted on a machine frame and on one end of which is mounted a unitary assembly of torch body B, the torch support A comprising, at its opposite end, a series C of elements for connection to fluid pipes and to power lines.
the torch support A comprises a metal block 1, typically made of brass, comprising a succession of stepped bores of different diameters 2, 3, 4, 5 and surrounded by a insulating jacket 6.
a metal block 1 typically made of brass
In the larger diameter bore 2 open a supply passage of cooling gas 7 and an actuating gas supply passage 8.
the connection between the bores 2 and 3 forms a transverse annular face 9 into which opens a supply passage of a second actuation gas 10.
In the bore 3 opens a passage 11 for supplying a third actuating gas.
an electrical contact socket 5 the bore 4 communicating with a tube T for supplying plasma gas.
the support A comprises, at its front end, a metal sleeve 12 isolated from the block 1 and comprising an external thread 13.
the torch body B comprises a metallic tubular assembly 14 comprising a rear part forming a piston 15 sliding in an internal bore 16 of a metallic tubular jacket 17 provided with peripheral seals and intended to be received in the first bore 2 of the torch support A.
the jacket 17 is secured to a lower skirt assembly 18, the upper end of which forms a collar 19 extending radially outwards.
On the lower end of the skirt assembly 18 is mounted a cap 20.
the tubular assembly 14 is extended towards the rear by a stepped cylindrical part intended to be received with sealing in the rear bores 3 and 4 of the support of torch A.
the rear end of the jacket 17 forms an annular bearing surface 21 bearing against the annular face 9 of the torch support A.
tubular assembly 14 In the tubular assembly 14 is tightly mounted a tubular element 22 enclosing a spring 23 urging downward a piston 24 sliding in leaktight manner in the tubular element 22 and integral with a hollow rod 25 extending in leaktight sliding in the tubular element 22 and in a tubular extension 33 of the assembly 14, and carrying, at its lower end, a clamp structure with flexible longitudinal tabs 26 forming means for locking and holding a hollow electrode tail 27 carrying at its lower end Erieure a hollow electrode 28.
the clamp structure 26 cooperates with an outer tubular clamp lock 29 slidably mounted on the rod 25 and resiliently biased downward by a spring 30.
the lock 29 comprises at least one transverse projection 31 passing through a oblong opening 32 formed in the tubular extension 33 of the assembly 14 and carrying, at its lower end, a clamp structure 34 with flexible longitudinal tongues cooperating with a peripheral elastic ring 35 and forming means for holding and blocking a nozzle 36 in which the electrode 28 extends and provided centrally with a jet ejection channel plasma 37.
the plasma gas introduced into the bore 4 passes centrally through the torch body B as far as the electrode 28 from where it passes inside the nozzle 36.
the cooling gas introduced into the passage 7 enters, through transverse openings 38 in the jacket 17 to flow into the skirt 20, around the nozzle 36.
a locking gas, introduced through the passage 8 enters through openings transverse 39, in the bore 16 to push the piston 15 upwards and maintain the clamps 26 and 34 in the engagement configuration of the electrode tail 27 and the nozzle 36, respectively.
the upper part 40 of the assembly 14 forms, in the bore 3, an unlocking piston which, when unlocking gas is introduced into the bottom of the bore 3 through the passage 11, pushes the assembly 14 towards the bottom, thus freeing the clamp structure 34 from the ring 35 and allowing the extraction of the nozzle 36.
the projections 31 come into abutment on an internal shoulder 41 of the jacket 17, thus releasing the clamp 26 and allowing the release of the electrode 28.
the electrode 28 is normally kept pressed against the bottom of the nozzle 36 by the spring 23.
priming gas is introduced through passage 10 and enters, through transverse passages, 42 between assembly 14 and assembly 22 into an annular chamber 43 in front of piston 24 to repel this last against spring 23 and ec arter thus the electrode 28 of the nozzle 36 to, in a first time, strike the arc and, thereafter, allow the escape of the plasma gas from inside the nozzle 36 towards the outside, by the passage 37.
the torch body B is kept locked on the support A by a nut 70 cooperating with the flange 19 and screwed onto the thread 13 of the support A, a simple unscrewing of the nut D allowing the torch body assembly B to be extracted for a quick replacement of the latter.
the insulating casing 6 and the metal block 1 of the torch support A which has, here, a flat transverse underside 9 forming support for the bottom 21 of a cage to balls 45 forming the rear end of a block 46 of the torch body B which encloses a hollow electrode structure 280 projecting towards the rear and on the lower or front end of which is mounted the nozzle 36 surrounded, here , in a sealed manner by a skirt 20 'defining a part of a water cooling circuit, the water being introduced into a longitudinal passage 47 in the block 1, passing through a passage 48, aligned with the passage 47, in the block 46, as far as the cap 20 ′ to pass, via transverse passages 49, inside the electrode structure 280 and exit towards the top of block 1 by an outlet passage 50.
the electrode structure 280 extends upwards, beyond face 21, in a central stepped bore 51 of the block 1 comprising an electrical contact socket 52.
the electrode structure 280 further forms an intermediate piston structure 53 sliding in a central bore of the block 46, the front face of the piston 53 receiving, by aligned passages 54 in block 1 and 55 in block 46, a priming gas to separate the electrode 280 from the nozzle 36, a defusing gas being introduced, by a through passage, at 56, on the rear face of the piston 53 to bring back, at the end of use and at the start of reuse, the electrode 280 in contact with the nozzle 36 where the plasma gas arrives by passages opening radially, at 57, in the nozzle 36.
the fluid passages, such as 48 and 55, of the torch body B have sockets, such as 58 and 59, protruding beyond the face 21 and received sealed in the corresponding passages, such as 54, of the torch support.
the sleeve 58 of the cooling water supply circuit cooperates with a hollow rod 60 disposed in the water supply passage 47 to push back, in use, a shutter valve 61 resiliently biased in the closed position.
the water exhaust passage 50 comprises, at the outlet, a valve 62 normally urged elastically towards its closed position and open, in the assembled configuration, by the hollow upper end of the electrode structure 280. From this way, by disconnecting the torch body B from the torch support A, the valves 61 and 62 close again, thus avoiding the flow of water from the torch support A.
the cage 45 carries at least one ball 63 intended to cooperate, in the locking position, with an annular groove 64 formed at the periphery of the cylindrical front end of the block 1 and with a cylindrical sliding lock 65, forming a ramp, disposed in a chamber at the front end of the insulating casing 6 and biased in the locking position by a spring 66.
the torch body B comprises a sliding pusher 67 making it possible to reverse the lock 65 , against spring 66, during installation, by simple plugging in, and extraction of the torch body B.
