DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 2 , embodiments of the present invention include:

[0029] A high-frequency plasma cutting gun includes a gun head body, which includes a large inner diameter cylindrical structure 11, and an injection molded body 8, an insulator 7, a diverter 5, a flow guide tube 6, an electrode 2 and a cutting nozzle 1 are sequentially assembled inside the cavity of the large inner diameter cylindrical structure 11.

[0030] The gun head body also includes an air pipe 9, which is inserted into the injection molded body 8 and the diverter 5 and communicates with the guide tube. The tail of the air pipe 9 is connected to the tail connector 10 by threaded buckle, which is simple and efficient, saves costs and reduces the risk of air leakage.

[0031] The injection molded body 8 is molded inside the large inner diameter cylindrical structure 11. The injection molded body 8 is injection molded using insulating resin glue. The insulating resin glue has high hardness and good molding. After the trachea 9 is inserted into the injection molded body 8, the colloid is strong and hard after solidification, which can ensure that the trachea 9 is not easy to loosen or rotate.

[0032] Furthermore, the top of the injection molding body 8 and the contact point of the large inner diameter cylindrical structure 11 are anti-rotationally matched: the inner side of the top of the large inner diameter cylindrical structure 11 has an arc-shaped protrusion 1101, and the outer side of the top of the injection molding body 8 has an arc-shaped groove 801 that matches the arc-shaped protrusion 1101.

[0033] When the large inner diameter cylindrical structure 11 is connected to the injection molded body 8, the arc-shaped protrusion 1101 at the top is embedded in the arc-shaped groove 801 to form a rotation-proof fit, further ensuring that the trachea 9 has anti-escape and anti-rotation properties after being inserted into the injection molded body 8 and the large inner diameter cylindrical structure 11.

[0034] The boss at the top of the diverter 5 is inserted into the bottom of the injection molding body 8, wherein a first step surface 501 is provided at the junction of the top of the diverter 5 and the injection molding body 8. The injection molding body 8 and the boss at the top of the diverter are in contact and fit through the first step surface 501, which can limit the upward movement of the diverter 5.

[0035] An insulator 7 is provided between the protective cap 4 and the diverter 5 outside the large inner diameter cylindrical structure 11 , and the insulator 7 is separated from the gun head body.

[0036] The insulator 7 includes a first insulator 701 and a second insulator 702 which are separately arranged. The first insulator 701 and the second insulator 702 are separately arranged to ensure that the insulator 7 can be replaced after being damaged, thereby extending the service life of the gun head.

[0037] A second step surface 502 is provided at the junction of the diverter 5 and the first insulator 701 . The first insulator 701 and the diverter 5 are in contact and fit with each other via the second step surface 502 , which can further restrict the diverter 5 from moving upward.

[0038] The guide tube 6 is installed in the inner cavity of the diverter 5. The top end of the guide tube 6 is provided with a first external thread 601. The junction between the diverter 5 and the guide tube 6 is provided with a first internal thread 503. The guide tube 6 and the diverter 5 are threadedly connected.

[0039] The electrode 2 is sleeved outside the flow guide tube 6 . The bottom end of the flow guide tube 6 and the electrode 2 are connected at a circular arc surface 602 . The bottom end of the flow guide tube 6 and the electrode 2 are in contact through the circular arc surface 602 .

[0040] The top end of the electrode 2 is provided with a second external thread 201 , and the junction of the diverter 5 and the electrode 2 is provided with a second internal thread 504 , so the diverter 5 and the electrode 2 are connected by threads.

[0041] A third internal thread 703 is formed at the bottom of the first insulator 701 , and a third external thread 704 is formed at the top of the second insulator 702 . The first insulator 701 and the second insulator 702 are connected by threads.

[0042] The flow guide tube 6 has a flow guide cavity inside to form an air flow channel 603. There is an annular air flow gap 604 between the electrode 2 and the flow guide tube 6. The diverter 5 is provided with a first diverter channel 505, which is connected to the inner cavity of the diverter 5. A second diverter channel 506 is provided between the insulator 7 and the protective cap 4.

[0043] The cutting nozzle 1 is connected to the bottom end of the electrode 2. A vortex ring 3 is provided between the cutting nozzle 1 and the diverter 5. The surface of the vortex ring 3 is evenly distributed with vortex holes. There is a plasma arc gap 202 between the electrode 2 and the cutting nozzle 1 to blow out the plasma arc.

[0044] The above-mentioned air flow channel 603, annular air flow gap 604, first diversion channel 505, second diversion channel 506, vortex hole and plasma arc gap 202 together form a gas path for gas circulation, which can ensure that the gas fully circulates back to all parts of the gun tip, reducing the high temperature of the gun tip and consumables.

[0045] In the present invention, the insulator 7 and the eddy current ring 3 are made of polymer materials, which are wear-resistant and high-temperature-resistant, have high mechanical strength, good insulation, are durable, and are easy to replace.

[0046] The working principle of the high-frequency plasma cutting gun of the present invention is:

[0047] The gas flows into the air flow channel 603 inside the guide tube 6 through the air pipe 9, and then flows into the annular air flow gap 604 between the guide tube 6 and the electrode 2 for reflux.

[0048] Then it flows out from the first diversion channel 505 of the diverter 5, passes through the second diversion channel 506 between the insulator 7 and the protective cap 4, surrounds the vortex ring 3 to generate vortex, and then passes through the vortex holes on the surface of the vortex ring 3 into the plasma arc gap 202 between the electrode 2 and the cutting nozzle 1, blowing out the plasma arc to form a cutting arc.

[0049] The beneficial effects of the high-frequency plasma cutting gun of the present invention are:

[0050] It is injection molded with insulating resin glue and has a rotation-stopping fit with a large inner diameter cylindrical structure, which has anti-slip and anti-rotation properties. It does not require a dedicated injection molding machine for injection molding, which simplifies the manufacturing process and effectively solves the problem of similar products causing gun tip failure due to continuous high temperature at the tail under abnormal welding conditions.

[0051] The insulator and the gun head are separated. If the insulator is damaged, the gun head can be replaced and repaired to extend the service life of the gun head.

[0052] The airflow channel inside the gun head fully surrounds and refluxes to all parts of the gun head, effectively reducing the high temperature of the gun head and consumables and increasing their lifespan.

[0053] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
