Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plasma spray gun technology, and in particular to an electrode structure for an atmospheric pressure jet plasma spray gun. Background Technology

[0002] Atmospheric pressure jet plasma spray gun is a core piece of equipment for industrial surface treatment (such as FPC flexible board cleaning, 3C product pre-dispensing activation, etc.). Its working principle is as follows: a high-frequency high-voltage electric field is constructed through internal and external electrodes to ionize the gas (such as air, nitrogen, etc.) flowing through the spray gun, generating a highly active plasma jet, which ultimately acts on the material surface to achieve cleaning, modification and other effects.

[0003] However, existing spray guns have two major drawbacks: 1. Metal atom contamination problem: During the discharge process, metal atoms (such as copper ions, iron ions, etc.) will be released from the inner and outer electrodes (commonly made of copper, stainless steel, etc.) due to high temperature ionization. These metal atoms are easy to adhere to the surface of the material being treated, resulting in surface contamination and coverage of active sites, which directly reduces the effect of plasma treatment. 2. Electrode erosion and short lifespan: The continuous precipitation of metal atoms is essentially an ablation process of the electrode material. Especially in the high-temperature environment of high-frequency high-voltage discharge, the electrode will be rapidly worn down due to metal melting and evaporation, which will lead to the destruction of the integrity of the spray gun structure, the decrease in the stability of the plasma jet, and ultimately shorten the service life of the spray gun. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes an electrode structure for an atmospheric pressure jet plasma spray gun. By setting an inner high-temperature resistant end and an outer high-temperature resistant block, the source of metal atom contamination is fundamentally blocked, while the electrode ablation rate is significantly slowed down, extending its service life.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: an electrode structure for an atmospheric pressure jet plasma spray gun includes an inner electrode and an outer electrode. The inner electrode includes an electrode body, and the discharge end of the electrode body is provided with a detachable inner high-temperature resistant end. The outer electrode includes a nozzle body, and a jet channel is provided inside the nozzle body. A detachable outer high-temperature resistant block is provided at the outlet end of the jet channel. An outlet hole is provided on the outer high-temperature resistant block, and the outlet hole communicates with the jet channel.

[0006] Furthermore, the inner high-temperature resistant end is an inner tungsten end, an inner titanium end, or an inner titanium-tungsten end.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer high-temperature resistant block is an outer tungsten block, an outer titanium end, or an outer titanium-tungsten end.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer high-temperature resistant block is threadedly connected to the outlet end of the jet channel.

[0009] Furthermore, a polygonal groove is provided at the end of the outer high-temperature resistant block that is away from the inner electrode.

[0010] Furthermore, the electrode body is connected to the internal high-temperature resistant end thread.

[0011] Furthermore, the electrode body is a copper electrode body or a stainless steel electrode body.

[0012] Furthermore, the nozzle body is either a copper nozzle body or a stainless steel nozzle body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention features a detachable inner high-temperature resistant end, making it difficult for metal atoms in the discharge area to be ionized and stripped away at high temperatures. A detachable outer high-temperature resistant block is provided at the nozzle's jet channel outlet end, which can resist high-speed plasma scouring and high-temperature erosion, fundamentally blocking the source of metal atom contamination. At the same time, it significantly slows down the electrode ablation rate and extends its service life. Moreover, all of the above structures are detachable, facilitating subsequent replacement. The use of high-temperature resistant materials only in the core area of ​​the spray gun electrode structure also helps control the cost of the electrode structure.

[0014] The electrode structure of this novel atmospheric pressure jet plasma spray gun is adapted to high-precision industrial scenarios, especially suitable for scenarios with extremely high requirements for surface cleanliness and processing consistency, such as FPC flexible circuit precision circuit cleaning and 3C mobile terminal pre-dispensing activation, helping industrial manufacturing upgrade towards high precision and high reliability.
