Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to on-off control field, specifically a kind of plasma cutting AC control maintenance circuit. BACKGROUND

[0002] The direct current arc phenomenon that appears in the process of direct current on-off control of plasma machine is that arc is forced to be lengthened and cannot be stably maintained due to sudden interruption or fluctuation of current. The specific reason is that when cathode and anode contact, large current passes through the contact point to form arc, and ionized air generates high-temperature plasma. At this time, the arc is stretched to the outside of the nozzle under the action of the magnetic field, forming a stable plasma flow. When the direct current is suddenly interrupted, the arc energy cannot be continuously supplied, resulting in a sharp drop in the degree of plasma ionization, and the arc is "broken" or lengthened, forming an unstable arc breaking state. If the current is not restored in time, the arc may not be re-established.

[0003] If the direct current arc phenomenon occurs in the on-off control process of plasma machine, the high temperature (3000-7000 ℃) generated by direct current arc will directly ablate key components such as electrodes and nozzles, resulting in a significant reduction in the service life of the equipment (such as a possible 40% reduction in the service life of the anode). When the arc continues to burn, the high temperature may ignite the surrounding combustible materials (such as cable insulation or equipment shell), therefore, it is necessary to avoid the occurrence of direct current arc phenomenon in plasma machine as much as possible.

[0027] In specific embodiments: the arc striking based on the working of the plasma machine is a common technology, so the related control feedback technology of the main control board is not introduced. Figure 1 In this embodiment: please refer to

[0028] In this embodiment: please refer to Figure 1 The three-phase electric processing module comprises a circuit breaker QF1, a common-mode choke L, a rectifier D1, a resistor R1 and a capacitor C9. The input end of the circuit breaker QF1 is connected with live wires U, V and W. The output end of the circuit breaker QF1 is connected with the input end of the common-mode choke L. The output end of the common-mode choke L is connected with the input end of the rectifier D1. The positive output end of the rectifier D1 is connected with one end of the resistor R1, one end of the capacitor C9 and the input end of the voltage conversion and boosting module. The negative output end of the rectifier D1 is connected with the other end of the resistor R1, the other end of the capacitor C9 and the input end of the voltage conversion and boosting module.

[0029] Three-phase alternating current is introduced through the live wires U, V and W, and is output to the rectifier D1 after passing through the circuit breaker QF1, and is converted into direct current. After being filtered by the resistor R1 and the capacitor C9, the direct current becomes stable.

[0030] In this embodiment: please refer to Figure 1 The voltage conversion and boosting module comprises a direct current to alternating current unit V1 and a transformer W. The input end of the direct current to alternating current unit V1 is connected with the output end of the three-phase electric processing module. The output end of the direct current to alternating current unit V1 is connected with the input end of the transformer W. The output end of the transformer W is connected with the input end of the on-off control module and the input end of the rectification and filtering output module.

[0031] Figure 1 The direct current to alternating current unit V1 can be regarded as being composed of four IGBT tubes. By controlling the on-off of the IGBT tubes, the input direct current is converted into alternating current, which is output to the transformer W. After being boosted by the transformer W, the alternating current is output to the on-off control module and the rectification and filtering output module.

[0032] In this embodiment: please refer to Figure 1The on-off control module includes switches J3B and J4B, resistors R3 and R4, diodes D7 and D8, and capacitors C12 and C13.

The RC buffer circuit absorbs the transient high-voltage energy generated when the switches J3B and J4B are disconnected, thereby avoiding the occurrence of arc drawing. The diodes D7 and D8 in parallel with the buffer circuit are used to provide a fast discharge path. When the plasma machine is rapidly turned on and off, the charges stored in the capacitors C12 and C13 need to be discharged in time. The diodes D7 and D8 provide a low-impedance discharge path (through the forward conduction of the diodes) for the capacitors C12 and C13, thereby avoiding charge residue.

[0034] In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The rectification and filtering output module includes diodes D2, D4, D5, and D6, a capacitor C11, and a resistor R2. The positive electrode of the diode D2 is connected to the negative electrode of the diode D5 and one end of the output end of the transformer W, the positive electrode of the diode D4 is connected to the negative electrode of the diode D6 and the other end of the output end of the transformer W, the negative electrode of the diode D2 is connected to the negative electrode of the diode D4, one end of the capacitor C11, and the second input end of the arc striking output module, the positive electrode of the diode D5 is connected to the positive electrode of the diode D6, one end of the resistor R2, and one end of the inductor L5, the other end of the resistor R2 is connected to the other end of the capacitor C11, and the other end of the inductor L5 is connected to the second input end of the arc striking output module.

[0035] The alternating current is converted into direct current by the diodes D2, D4, D5, and D6, and is filtered by the capacitor C11 and the resistor R2 to become stable direct current, which is output to the subsequent circuit.

[0036] The working principle of the utility model is: three-phase electric processing module is used for converting three-phase alternating current into direct current, and outputs to voltage conversion boost module; voltage conversion boost module is used for converting direct current into alternating current, and outputs to rectification filtering output module and on-off control module after boosting; on-off control module is used for outputting input alternating current to arc striking output module after switching and RC buffer circuit; rectification filtering output module is used for outputting input alternating current to arc striking output module after converting into direct current; arc striking output module is used for generating electric arc after current input.

[0037] It is apparent for those skilled in the art that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and the utility model can be realized in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the utility model.

[0038] In addition, it should be understood that, although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the specification is described in this way only for clarity, and those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be properly combined to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.
