Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of smoke exhaust equipment for plasma cutting machines, in particular to a smoke exhaust mechanism for plasma cutting machines. Background Art
[0002] Plasma cutting has the advantages of high processing efficiency, good quality and low cost. It is more and more widely used in thermal cutting. It mainly relies on high temperature and high speed plasma arc and its flame flow to melt and evaporate the workpiece to be cut and blow it away from the substrate. The plasma cutting torch is a key component in the plasma cutting system. It is mainly composed of key components such as the torch body, insulating sleeve, electrode and nozzle. A discharge cavity is formed between the electrode and the inner cavity of the nozzle. When the electrode is energized, the gas is ionized in the discharge cavity to generate high temperature plasma. The high temperature plasma is ejected from the nozzle nozzle to cut the metal material.
[0003] To improve the performance of precision plasma cutting equipment, there are many ways to use it, one of which is to use vortex gas protection. The secondary protection medium called vortex gas is ejected from the cathode and nozzle of the cutting moment, forming a layer of protective gas outside the plasma beam, and has been effectively protecting the plasma beam. This vortex gas has the following advantages for the cutting process: first, it can effectively prevent the slag generated at the beginning of the cutting from strongly splashing upward and adhering to the nozzle; second, it can effectively prevent the double plasma beam arc phenomenon that often occurs at the beginning of the cutting when using vortex gas protection. Due to these advantages, the service life of the nozzle is greatly improved. The most direct benefit brought by this is: long-term stable and unchanged high quality can be obtained.
[0004] During air plasma cutting, a high-temperature plasma arc heat source is used to quickly melt the metal to be cut locally, and a compressed air flow is used to blow the molten metal away from the substrate to form a narrow incision to complete the cutting. The flow rate of the shielding gas will also change accordingly with the change of the supply flow rate of the compressed air. Factors affecting the cutting quality include the supply flow rate of compressed air and the supply flow rate of shielding gas. Sufficient gas flow is an important condition to ensure normal cutting and incision quality. Increasing the gas flow rate can increase the working voltage, enhance the compression effect of the arc, and concentrate the arc energy, which is conducive to improving the cutting speed and cutting quality. If the airflow is too large, the cold air will take away a lot of heat, which will reduce the cutting ability and make the cutting process unstable. In this process, a large amount of smoke will be generated due to the contact of the cutting flame with the workpiece, and the smoke will be accompanied by splashing metal debris. In the prior art, a wind collecting hood is used to cover the cutting work area. The advantage of this is that the smoke generated during the cutting process can be concentrated and processed to reduce the deterioration of the working environment caused by the escape into the working environment, and the splashing metal debris generated during the cutting process is also blocked by the wind collecting hood to reduce the splashing of the metal debris into the working area, thereby reducing the damage to personnel caused by high-temperature metal debris.
[0005] If the smoke generated in the cutting work area needs to be centrally extracted, the gas pressure in the hood needs to be lower than the gas pressure outside the hood. The reason is still to prevent the smoke from escaping into the air outside the hood. In this process, the outside air will enter the inner cavity of the hood through the gap between the hood and the workpiece. The air flow entering the inner cavity of the hood from the gap between the hood and the workpiece may also directly act on the cutting flame, thereby reducing the temperature of the cutting flame and affecting the cutting effect. Therefore, there is room for improvement. The air flow entering the inner cavity of the hood from the gap between the hood and the workpiece can ensure the normal working temperature of the cutting flame and can also centrally extract the smoke generated during the cutting process for centralized treatment, thereby further meeting the actual needs on site.
