The invention discloses a device for measuring the
current density of an
arc column of a
welding arc. The device comprises two
anode plates which are separated, wherein cooling water channels are formed in the two
anode plates; grooves are formed at the joints of the two
anode plates respectively; the inner wall of each groove is provided with an insulating layer; a
tungsten probe is clamped in the two grooves of the two anode plates; and a part of the
tungsten probe extending out of the lower sides of the anode plates is connected with a
current divider through a lead-out lead. In the invention, two water-cooled
copper polar plates are provided with semi-cylindrical grooves, Al2O3
plasma coatings are coated in the grooves, the
tungsten probe is clamped between the two water-cooled
copper polar plates, a lead is connected below the probe, and the probe is connected to a
welding power supply after being connected with the
current divider; and during measurement, a motor is used for driving a lead screw to rotate, the lead screw is used for driving a slide block and a
welding gun to move horizontally, and an
electric arc and the probe move relatively, so that the aim of measuring is fulfilled. Due to the adoption of the device, the
current density of the
arc column of the welding arc can be measured continuously, and the
radial distribution condition of the
current density along with the
arc column of the
electric arc can be obtained; and the device has a simple structure and high result accuracy.
