The three telescopic rods 6, sliders 7, and dovetail blocks 5 are arranged at equal intervals on the sleeve 4 and the connecting pipe 2 respectively.

[0032] In this embodiment, the electrode mechanism includes an electrode rod 3, a conductive plate 9, an insulating rubber 10, an electrode rod 11, a conductive plate 12, an insulating rubber 13, an insulating circular plate 14, and an air hole 15. The electrode rod 3 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 4. The electrode rod 3 is plugged into the connecting tube 2 and one end extends into the plasma furnace body 1, which facilitates the processing of the raw materials in the plasma furnace body 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, a conductive plate 19 is provided at one end of the electrode rod 3, an electrode rod 2 11 is inserted into the electrode rod 3, a conductive plate 2 12 is provided at one end of the electrode rod 2 11, an insulating rubber 10 is provided between the conductive plate 2 12 and the conductive plate 19, and the insulating rubber 10 is sleeved on the electrode rod 2 11. The action of the insulating rubber 10 and the insulating rubber 2 13 ensures that the arc starting area is at the ends of the two electrode rods.

[0034] In this embodiment, an insulating rubber 2 13 is provided in the electrode rod 1 3 , the insulating rubber 2 13 is sleeved on the electrode rod 2 11 and a cavity is provided between the insulating rubber 2 13 and the electrode rod 11 , the insulating rubber 2 13 is sealedly connected to the insulating rubber 1 10 , an insulating circular plate 14 is fixedly sleeved at one end of the electrode rod 2 11 , the insulating circular plate 14 is fixedly connected to the electrode rod 1 3 , and a plurality of through holes are opened on the insulating circular plate 14 , which facilitates the discharge of the plasma carrier gas through the action of the plurality of through holes.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, the terminals on the conductive plate 1 9 and the conductive plate 2 12 are connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the external power supply through wires, thereby delivering electric charge to the electrode rod 1 3 and the electrode rod 2 11. Since there is a certain distance between the electrode rod 1 3 and one end of the electrode rod 2 11, an arc is generated between the electrode rod 1 3 and the electrode rod 2 11.

At this time, these gases form plasma under the action of the electric arc, thereby achieving the effect of processing the raw materials in the plasma furnace body 1;

[0038] When the electrode mechanism needs to be replaced, the three sliders 7 are first pushed upward on the sleeve 4 by the action of the three push rods 17 to slide a certain distance, and the bottom plates of the three sliders 7 are respectively moved above the three dovetail grooves on the sleeve 4. During this process, the three sliders 7 act on the three telescopic rods 6 respectively, and the three telescopic rods 6 are contracted, and the three springs 8 are compressed and stored. After the three sliders 7 release the obstruction of the three dovetail blocks 5 respectively, the sleeve 4 is rotated a certain angle on the connecting tube 2, and the three dovetail blocks 5 are respectively disengaged from the three dovetail grooves on the sleeve 4, and the three dovetail blocks 5 are respectively corresponding to the three sliding grooves 1 on the sleeve 4. After that, the connecting tube 2 is pulled out from the sleeve 4, and the electrode rod 1 3 is pulled out from the connecting tube 2, thereby achieving the effect of quickly disassembling the sleeve 4 and the electrode mechanism.

[0039] On the contrary, the electrode mechanism and the sleeve 4 can be quickly installed.
