[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 through 5 as shown, the present utility model provides a tungsten electrode device, including:
[0039] A nozzle 1, along the axial direction of the nozzle 1, there are successively arranged a mounting hole 101, a connection hole 102, and a tapered hole 103. The mounting hole 101, the connection hole 102, and the tapered hole 103 are successively connected. The small end of the tapered hole 103 forms the nozzle opening of the nozzle 1. The nozzle 1 is used to connect with the welding torch handle to transmit the sprayed tiny plasma arc flame flow;
[0040] An elastic collet 2, the elastic collet 2 includes two elastic chucks 201, a mounting seat 202, and a tungsten electrode hole 203. The two elastic chucks 201 are arranged on the mounting seat 202. One end of the tungsten electrode hole 203 is connected to the outside from the end of the mounting seat 202 away from the elastic chucks 201, and the other end of the tungsten electrode hole 203 is connected to the outside between the two elastic chucks 201;
[0041] An aligner 3, the aligner 3 is arranged in the connection hole 102. The outer wall of the aligner 3 fits with the inner wall of the connection hole 102. There is a through hole 301 on the aligner 3, and the through hole 301 is coaxially arranged with the tungsten electrode hole 203.
[0042] It should also be noted that the tungsten electrode is successively passed through the tungsten electrode hole 203, the mounting hole 101, the through hole 301, the connection hole 102, and the tapered hole 103 to achieve precise fixation of the tungsten electrode position.
[0043] Furthermore, the two elastic chucks 201 are two-piece chucks with a 180° clamping opening, featuring high elasticity, high toughness, durability, and non-deformation. They can not only effectively cool the tungsten electrode and extend its service life, but also fit tightly and firmly hold the tungsten electrode as the installation chuck of the tungsten electrode, ensuring good electrical conductivity.
[0044] Exemplarily, a guiding inclined surface is further provided on the outer side of the end of the elastic chuck 201 away from the mounting seat 202.
[0045] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting the guiding inclined surface is to facilitate the installation and guiding during the installation of the elastic chuck 201.
[0046] Exemplarily, after the elastic sleeve 2 is installed in place, a heat dissipation gap is left between the elastic chuck 201 and the centering device 3.
[0047] It should also be noted that the purpose of leaving the heat dissipation gap is to increase the heat dissipation capacity, control the deformation during heating, reduce the condition that the centering device 3 is easily damaged due to overheating, and at the same time, leaving the heat dissipation gap avoids the influence of thermal expansion and contraction on the elastic chuck 201, resulting in deformation and interfering with the positioning accuracy.
[0048] Exemplarily, the diameter of the mounting hole 101 is smaller than that of the connecting hole 102, and a transition inclined surface is provided at the connection between the mounting hole 101 and the connecting hole 102.
[0049] It should also be noted that the diameter of the large end of the tapered hole 103 is the same as that of the connecting hole 102.
[0050] Exemplarily, the centering device 3 is a prism, and the outer wall edges of the centering device 3 are in contact with the inner wall of the connecting hole 102.
[0051] Exemplarily, the edges of the centering device 3 have an arc transition, and the arc transition surface of the centering device 3 matches the inner wall of the connecting hole 102.
[0052] It should also be noted that the purpose of using a prism for the centering device 3 is to reduce the contact area between the centering device 3 and the connecting hole 102 and improve the cooling efficiency.
[0053] Exemplarily, the centering device 3 is made of ceramic material.
[0054] It should also be noted that the purpose of using ceramic material for the centering device 3 is to utilize its excellent properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature stability to meet the performance requirements in specific application scenarios, extend the service life of the component, and reduce the maintenance cost.
[0055] Exemplarily, the outer wall of the mounting base 202 is provided with threads, and the outer wall of the nozzle 1 is provided with threads.
[0056] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting the threads is to provide a stable connection method when the outer walls of the mounting base 202 and the nozzle 1 are connected to the welding machine part.
[0057] Exemplarily, the material of the elastic bushing 2 is copper, and the two elastic chucks 201 and the mounting base 202 are integrally formed.
[0058] It should also be noted that the copper material of the elastic bushing 2 has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, plasticity, ductility, corrosion resistance, and economy. These advantages enable the elastic bushing made of copper to play an important role in the tungsten electrode device, ensuring the stable performance and service life of the device.
[0059] Exemplarily, two limiting openings are further provided on the end face of the mounting base 202 away from the elastic chuck 201. The limiting openings are arranged opposite to each other, and the limiting openings connect the tungsten electrode hole 203 with the outside of the mounting base 202.
[0060] It should also be noted that the purpose of setting the limiting openings is for the interference fit between the tungsten electrode and the elastic bushing 2 to accurately install the tungsten electrode; the purpose of setting the mounting base 202 is for limiting after being threadedly connected to the welding machine to improve the fixing effect of the device.
[0061] Exemplarily, the central axes of the mounting hole 101, the connecting hole 102, and the tapered hole 103 coincide.
[0062] It should also be noted that finally, the centering device 3 is used to accurately fix the position of the tungsten electrode and is on the same axis as the nozzle orifice of the nozzle 1.
[0063] During use, the operator inserts the tungsten electrode into the centering device 3 and the elastic bushing 2, and then installs it into the mounting hole 101 and the connecting hole 102 in the nozzle 1 to complete the assembly of the tungsten electrode and the tungsten electrode device;
[0064] Subsequently, the outer wall threads of the elastic bushing 2 of the assembled tungsten electrode device and the outer wall threads of the nozzle 1 are respectively fixedly connected to the welding torch, and the assembly position is finely adjusted to achieve the best assembly state before welding.
[0065] In one embodiment, a limiting ring is further provided on the outer wall of the nozzle 1. The limiting ring is used for limiting after the nozzle 1 is connected to the welding machine base to improve the fixing effect of the device.

At the same time, the structure is simple, the installation is convenient, the welding cost is reduced, and the welding quality is guaranteed.
