One end of the conductive copper busbar 63 is connected to the other end of the third connecting pipe 61, and the other end passes through the fixing ear plate 15 and is connected to the cutter chuck. The conductive copper busbar 63 is tightly connected to the cutter chuck by bolts and screws.
[0035] In this embodiment, insulating sleeves 100 are fitted onto the third connecting pipe 61, cable connector 62, and conductive copper busbar 63, thereby ensuring that the cutter body is not electrified.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the cutter chuck includes a mounting sleeve 70, a clamping block 80, and a second anti-backfire assembly 90.
[0037] In this embodiment, the mounting sleeve 70 has a first through hole 71 and a second through hole 72 with different inner diameters. A positioning step is provided at the joint of the first through hole 71 and the second through hole 72. The first through hole 71 is connected to the other end of the second connecting pipe 50.
[0038] In this embodiment, the clamping block 80 is disposed in the second through hole 72, and the clamping block 80 is provided with a clamping hole 81 for placing the underwater cutting bar.
[0039] In this embodiment, the second backfire prevention assembly 90 includes a ball bearing 91, a second valve seat 92, and a second elastic element 93. The ball bearing 91 is disposed within the first through hole 71 and located at the other end of the second connecting pipe 50, and the diameter of the ball bearing 91 is larger than the inner diameter of the second connecting pipe 50. The second valve seat 92 is disposed inside the mounting sleeve 70, and a vent hole 921 communicating with the clamping hole 81 is provided on the second valve seat 92. One end of the second elastic element 93 is connected to the ball bearing 91, and the other end is connected to the second valve seat 92. Preferably, the ball bearing 91 is made of a high-temperature resistant material.
[0040] In this embodiment, insulating pads 110 are provided on the inner and outer walls of the mounting sleeve 70, the outer wall of the clamping block 80, and between the second valve seat 92 and the clamping block 80. A connecting hole 120 is provided on the insulating pad 110 between the second valve seat 92 and the clamping block 80. This ensures that the cutter body is not electrified.
[0041] When using this invention for underwater cutting, firstly, the underwater cutting blade is installed on the cutting tool chuck. Then, the cable is connected to the cable connector 62, and the oxygen pipe is connected to the air pipe connector 42. After the cable is energized, the current is transmitted from the conductive copper busbar 63 to the cutting tool chuck, then from the cutting tool chuck to the underwater cutting blade, and finally to the workpiece. At this time, the diver squeezes the handle 17, causing the handle 17 to rise against the linkage valve stem 21, thereby causing the first valve seat 22 to squeeze the first elastic element 23. This allows the oxygen to pass sequentially through the first connecting pipe 41, the first connecting hole 112, the middle diameter section of the stepped hole 111, and the small diameter section of the stepped hole 111 before entering the second connecting pipe 50. Then, the oxygen pushes up the ball bearing 91, allowing the oxygen to enter the air hole of the underwater cutting blade through the vent hole 921 and the connecting hole 120, and finally to the workpiece, thus working together with the current to generate an electric arc for cutting. After the cutting work is completed, the diver releases the handle 17. At this time, the handle 17 resets, which drives the linkage valve stem 21 to reset and descend, causing the first elastic element 23 to return to its natural state. This causes the first valve seat 22 to re-fit with the stop part, so that oxygen can no longer enter the second connecting pipe 50 through the stepped hole 111. Then, the ball 91 resets under the action of the second elastic element 93, so that during the tempering moment, the hot molten slag can be prevented from entering the second connecting pipe 50 through the clamping hole 81, the connecting hole 120, and the vent hole 921, thus avoiding damage to the cutter body and the gas valve.
[0042] The role and effect of the embodiments
