Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of waste gas treatment, in particular to an assembly tolerance detection device for a plasma torch. Background Art
[0002] In the waste gas treatment device, a plasma torch (TORCH) is usually used for ignition to utilize the ultra-high temperature of the plasma flame to provide thermal energy for the waste gas to be treated, thereby converting the organic matter or halides in the waste gas into inorganic small molecules such as carbon dioxide and water, thereby achieving the treatment of the waste gas.
[0003] The upper electrode assembly and the arc-starting tube are the core components of the plasma torch. In actual use, the spacing between the upper electrode assembly and the arc-starting tube should be between 1.37mm and 1.71mm, with a reference of 1.5mm and a tolerance of -0.13mm to 0.21mm. If the tolerance is exceeded, the plasma torch will fail to ignite or the performance will not meet the standard. However, the assembled plasma torch cannot be measured because the spacing is inside the body. Moreover, after the ignition fails, due to the burning of the high-temperature arc, the spacing measurement is of no reference value. Utility Model Content

[0028] Combined with Figures 1-2As shown, this embodiment provides an assembly tolerance detection device for a plasma torch, wherein the plasma torch includes an upper electrode assembly 120 and an arc-starting tube 110; wherein the upper electrode assembly 120 belongs to the cathode of the plasma torch, is used to emit an arc, and the arc passes through the inside of the arc-starting tube 110. The assembly tolerance detection device includes: a lower electrode positioning fixture 210, an upper electrode positioning fixture 220 and a measuring ruler (not shown in the figure). The lower electrode positioning fixture 210 is used to carry the upper electrode positioning fixture 220 and to fix and install the arc-starting tube 110. Further, the lower electrode positioning fixture 210 includes: a main body 2110; a first limiting portion 2120, which is arranged on the main body 2110; a first mounting hole 2130, which passes through the first limiting portion 2120; and a second mounting hole 2140, which passes through the main body 2110 and is connected to the first mounting hole 2130. Optionally, the main body 2110 and the first limiting portion 2120 are integrally provided to facilitate processing and ensure the stability of the connection between the main body 2110 and the first limiting portion 2120 .
[0029] The upper electrode positioning tool 220 is used to fix and install the upper electrode assembly 120. Further, the upper electrode positioning tool 220 includes: a second limiting portion 2210, which is arranged on the first limiting portion 2120; optionally, the second limiting portion 2210 and the first limiting portion 2120 are fixedly connected by a fastener. A third mounting hole 2230 passes through the second limiting portion 2210 and is connected to the first mounting hole 2130.
[0030] Specifically, the bottom end of the upper electrode assembly 120 (i.e., the end emitting the arc) passes through the third mounting hole 2230 and extends into the first mounting hole 2130, and the shoulder 1210 of the upper electrode assembly abuts against the second limiting portion 2210, so that the second limiting portion 2210 limits the upper electrode assembly 120. The arc-starting tube 110 is fixed in the second mounting hole 2140, and the top end of the arc-starting tube 110 is flush with the top end of the main body 2110. Optionally, the arc-starting tube 110 and the second mounting hole 2140 are fixedly connected by threads.
[0031] More specifically, the cross-sections of the second limiting portion 2210 and the first limiting portion 2120 are both semi-circular, that is, the second limiting portion 2210 and the first limiting portion 2120 are both in a cut-away state, so that the bottom end of the upper electrode assembly 120 and the top end of the arc-starting tube 110 are exposed, so that the bottom end of the upper electrode assembly 120 and the top end of the arc-starting tube 110 can be observed, and thus it is convenient to measure the distance between the bottom end of the upper electrode assembly 120 and the top end of the arc-starting tube 110.
[0032] Further, the measuring ruler is used to measure the distance between the bottom end of the exposed upper electrode assembly 120 and the top end of the arc-starting tube 110, so as to reassemble the upper electrode assembly 120 when the distance does not meet the preset tolerance. Optionally, the measuring ruler is a vernier caliper to ensure the measurement accuracy of the distance. Optionally, the preset tolerance is -0.13mm to 0.21mm, but the utility model is not limited thereto.
[0033] It should be noted that the installation status of the upper electrode assembly 120 and the arc-starting tube 110 in the assembly tolerance detection device is consistent with the installation status of the upper electrode assembly 120 and the arc-starting tube 110 in actual applications, that is, the distance between the bottom end of the upper electrode assembly 120 and the top end of the arc-starting tube 110 in the assembly tolerance detection device is consistent with the distance between the bottom end of the upper electrode assembly 120 and the top end of the arc-starting tube 110 in actual applications. Therefore, in this embodiment, by measuring the distance between the bottom end of the upper electrode assembly 120 and the top end of the arc-starting tube 110, it is possible to check in advance whether the distance meets the preset tolerance and related technical requirements, so that when the distance does not meet the preset tolerance, the accessories in the upper electrode assembly 120 can be replaced to reassemble the upper electrode assembly 120, so that the distance between the bottom end of the reassembled upper electrode assembly 120 and the top end of the arc-starting tube 110 meets the preset tolerance, thereby avoiding the occurrence of a large number of unqualified plasma torch products and effectively reducing production costs.

[0035] Specifically, the extension portion 2220 can limit the second limiting portion 2210, thereby preventing the second limiting portion 2210 from moving horizontally. The height of the extension portion 2220 is not greater than the height of the first mounting hole 2130, so as to prevent the extension portion 2220 from affecting the distance measurement between the bottom end of the upper electrode assembly 120 and the top end of the arc-starting tube 110. Optionally, the extension portion 2220 and the second limiting portion 2210 are integrated to facilitate processing and ensure the connection stability between the extension portion 2220 and the second limiting portion 2210, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0036] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The second mounting hole 2140 is provided with a limiting surface 2141 (such as Figure 2 and the shoulder 1110 of the arc-starting tube abuts against the limiting surface 2141 to limit the arc-starting tube 110, so as to facilitate the control of the top of the arc-starting tube 110 to be flush with the top of the main body 2110. Optionally, a sealing ring 130 is provided between the shoulder 1110 of the arc-starting tube and the limiting surface 2141 to prevent the arc-starting tube 110 from being damaged, but the utility model is not limited thereto.
[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a base 2150 is provided at one end of the main body 2110 away from the first limiting portion 2120 (i.e., the bottom end of the main body) to improve the stability of the main body 2110, thereby improving the stability of the assembly tolerance detection device, thereby preventing the assembly tolerance detection device from shaking when measuring the spacing, so as to ensure the measurement accuracy of the spacing. Optionally, the main body 2110 and the base 2150 are integrated to facilitate processing and ensure the stability of the connection between the main body 2110 and the base 2150, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The cross-sections of the second limiting part in the upper electrode positioning tooling and the first limiting part in the lower electrode positioning tooling are both semi-circular, that is, the second limiting part and the first limiting part are both in a cut-open state, so that the bottom end of the upper electrode assembly and the top end of the arc-starting tube are exposed, so that the bottom end of the upper electrode assembly and the top end of the arc-starting tube can be observed, and then it can be checked in advance whether the spacing between the bottom end of the upper electrode assembly and the top end of the arc-starting tube meets the requirements, so that when the spacing does not meet the requirements, the accessories in the upper electrode assembly can be replaced to reassemble the upper electrode assembly, so that the spacing between the bottom end of the reassembled upper electrode assembly and the top end of the arc-starting tube meets the requirements, thereby avoiding the occurrence of a large number of unqualified plasma torch products and effectively reducing the production cost.
