Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plasma torches, specifically a casing for plasma torches. Background Technology

[0002] A plasma torch (also known as a plasma generator or plasma heating system) is a specialized device developed based on this principle. A plasma torch generates high-temperature gas through an electric arc and can operate in oxidizing, reducing, or inert environments. It can provide a heat source for industrial furnaces with various functions such as gasification, cracking, reaction, melting, and smelting.

[0003] The outer side of the plasma torch ejector needs to be protected by a sleeve. The existing sleeve is threaded onto one side of the welding head, requiring the threads to be machined on the outside of the welding head. After long-term use, the sleeve needs to be replaced, which requires disassembling the sleeve and replacing it with a new one. Over time, the threads may strip, making it impossible to install the new sleeve on the welding head. In this case, the entire welding head needs to be replaced, resulting in a waste of resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a casing for a plasma torch to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a plasma torch sleeve, comprising a connecting tube, a welding head, and a sleeve, wherein a nozzle is provided on one side of the welding head by means of a threaded connection, the connecting tube is installed on one side of the welding head by means of a thread, and a fixing mechanism is provided between the sleeve and the welding head to facilitate fixing the sleeve.

[0006] The fixing mechanism includes a fixing ring, an extrusion assembly, a perforation, a cavity, and a limiting block. The fixing ring is fixed around the outside of the welding head. The extrusion assembly is disposed inside the fixing ring. The cavity is located inside the fixing ring. The perforation is located on one side of the fixing ring. The limiting block is fixed to the outside of the sleeve. In use, the sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the welding head, aligning the limiting block with the perforation. During fitting, the limiting block passes into the perforation until it moves into the cavity. Then, the sleeve is rotated, causing the limiting block to move with the sleeve, thus misaligning the limiting block with the perforation. This prevents the limiting block from detaching from the cavity, completing the installation of the sleeve. For disassembly, simply rotate the sleeve in the opposite direction until it aligns with the perforation. This sleeve installation and disassembly is simple and convenient, and does not require threads, ensuring the reliability of the sleeve installation during long-term use.

[0007] Preferably, the extrusion assembly includes an extrusion ring and a spring. The extrusion ring is slidably disposed inside the cavity, and the spring is fixed between the extrusion ring and the inner wall of the cavity. During use, when the sleeve is inserted into the fixed ring, the outer side of the extrusion ring is extruded, thus compressing the spring to a compressed state. After the sleeve is installed, the spring force compresses the extrusion ring tightly against the outer side of the limiting block, which increases the friction between the limiting block and the extrusion ring, thereby ensuring the stability of the sleeve after installation.

[0008] Preferably, a vent hole is provided at the center of the welding head to facilitate the passage of air.

[0009] Preferably, one side of the perforation is connected to the inside of the cavity, and the other side of the perforation is connected to the outside.

[0010] Preferably, there are two perforations, symmetrically located on both sides of the fixing ring.

[0011] Preferably, two limiting blocks are provided, symmetrically installed on both sides of the sleeve, and the limiting blocks fit into the perforations.

[0012] Preferably, the side of the extrusion ring near the limiting block has a rough surface.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. In use, the sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the welding head, while aligning the limiting block with the through hole. During fitting, the limiting block is inserted into the through hole until it moves into the cavity. Then, the sleeve is rotated so that the limiting block moves with the sleeve, thereby misaligning the limiting block with the through hole. This prevents the limiting block from leaving the cavity, completing the installation of the sleeve. To disassemble, simply rotate the sleeve in the opposite direction until it aligns with the through hole. The sleeve is easy to install and remove and does not require threads, ensuring the reliability of the sleeve installation during long-term use.

[0015] 2. When the sleeve is inserted into the fixing ring during use, the outer side of the compression ring is squeezed, thus compressing the spring. After the sleeve is installed, the spring force squeezes the compression ring tightly against the outer side of the limiting block, which increases the friction between the limiting block and the compression ring, thereby ensuring the stability of the sleeve after installation.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a plasma torch sleeve, including a connecting tube 1, a welding head 2 and a sleeve 4. A nozzle 5 is threadedly connected to one side of the welding head 2, and the connecting tube 1 is threadedly installed on one side of the welding head 2. There is a fixing mechanism between the sleeve 4 and the welding head 2 to facilitate fixing the sleeve 4.

[0022] The fixing mechanism includes a fixing ring 3, an extrusion assembly, a perforation 6, a cavity 7, and a limiting block 8. The fixing ring 3 is welded and fixed around the outside of the welding head 2. The extrusion assembly is inside the fixing ring 3. The cavity 7 is located inside the fixing ring 3. The perforation 6 is located on one side of the fixing ring 3, with one side communicating with the inside of the cavity 7 and the other side communicating with the outside. There are two perforations 6, symmetrically located on both sides of the fixing ring 3. The limiting block 8 is welded and fixed to the outside of the sleeve 4. There are two limiting blocks 8, symmetrically installed on both sides of the sleeve 4. The limiting blocks 8 fit into the perforations 6. During use, [the perforation 6 is inserted here]. The sleeve 4 is fitted onto the outside of the welding head 2, aligning the limiting block 8 with the through hole 6. During fitting, the limiting block 8 is inserted into the through hole 6 until it moves into the cavity 7. Then, the sleeve 4 is rotated, causing the limiting block 8 to move with it, thus misaligning the limiting block 8 with the through hole 6. This prevents the limiting block 8 from dislodging from the cavity 7, completing the installation of the sleeve 4. To disassemble, simply rotate the sleeve 4 in the opposite direction to align it with the through hole 6. The sleeve 4 is easy to install and remove without using threads, ensuring the reliability of the sleeve 4 installation during long-term use.

[0023] The extrusion assembly includes an extrusion ring 9 and a spring 10. The extrusion ring 9 slides inside the cavity 7. The side of the extrusion ring 9 near the limiting block 8 has a rough surface. The spring 10 is welded and fixed between the extrusion ring 9 and the inner wall of the cavity 7. During use, when the sleeve 4 is inserted into the fixed ring 3, the outer side of the extrusion ring 9 is extruded, thus compressing the spring 10 to a compressed state. After the sleeve 4 is installed, the spring 10 presses the extrusion ring 9 tightly against the outer side of the limiting block 8, which increases the friction between the limiting block 8 and the extrusion ring 9, thereby ensuring the stability of the sleeve 4 after installation.

[0024] A vent hole 11 is provided at the center of the welding head 2 to facilitate the passage of air.

[0025] Working principle: During use, the sleeve 4 is fitted onto the outside of the welding head 2, while aligning the limiting block 8 with the through hole 6. During fitting, the limiting block 8 is inserted into the through hole 6 until it moves into the cavity 7. Then, the sleeve 4 is rotated, causing the limiting block 8 to move with the sleeve 4, thus misaligning the limiting block 8 with the through hole 6. This prevents the limiting block 8 from dislodging from the cavity 7, completing the installation of the sleeve 4. To disassemble, simply rotate the sleeve 4 in the opposite direction until it aligns with the through hole 6. The sleeve 4 is easy to install and remove without using threads, ensuring the reliability of the sleeve 4 installation during long-term use. During use, when the sleeve 4 is inserted into the fixing ring 3, the outer side of the compression ring 9 is squeezed, thus compressing the spring 10. After the sleeve 4 is installed, the spring 10 compresses the compression ring 9 tightly against the outer side of the limiting block 8, increasing the friction between the limiting block 8 and the compression ring 9, thereby ensuring the stability of the sleeve 4 after installation.
