Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for cutting and cleaning objects and for targeted material removal by means of a high-pressure, a mixing chamber from an inlet formed in a water inlet nozzle to an outlet traversing water jet which an abrasive passes through in the mixing chamber Introducing it into the water jet.
- the mixing chamber is formed by a bore in a mixing chamber body which is axial to the inlet nozzle axis, the water nozzle inlet side. is limited by the water inlet nozzle.
- the inside of the mixing chamber includes, is formed, in the device according to the invention there is only one axial bore to the water inlet nozzle axis, which can be formed as a mixing chamber of defined diameter and defined axial length. Since the jet widening of the water jet entering the mixing chamber increases in proportion to the ambient pressure, it is possible according to the invention due to the resulting reflection behavior of the water jet jacket with simple means to create an optimal inlet geometry over a defined pressure range of predetermined size, which with simple Means is directly adapted to the prevailing pressure, ie by predetermined axial length and / or predetermined diameter of the bore.
- a major difficulty with devices of this type is that the high cutting performance of the device obtained in the manner described above, even at high ambient pressure, is not negated by the fact that losses in performance due to production errors-related axis errors occur between the inlet nozzle axis and outlet nozzle axis or outlet axis in the mixing chamber body . Manufacturing errors and / or assembly errors can have a very considerable influence on the performance of the device if they accumulate, with the result that the performance drops significantly.
- the mixing chamber body is accommodated in a body holder, which on one side with a connecting piece for connection to a high pressure water source and on the other side is connected to a stop nut.
- a body holder which on one side with a connecting piece for connection to a high pressure water source and on the other side is connected to a stop nut.
- connections by means of threaded connections which, on the one hand, enable an automatic axis adjustment between the connector and thus the inlet nozzle on the one hand and on the other hand between the mixing chamber body and thus the outlet nozzle axis or the mixing chamber body axis.
- threaded connections of this type can be loosened or fixed relatively quickly and thus without tools.
- the actual outlet nozzle can be formed separately from mixing chamber bodies because of its special requirements regarding its hardness.
- the essentially cylindrical mixing chamber body may be included lateral play in the substantially cylindrical bore of the body holder is added, so tolerances in To compensate for the seat of the water inlet nozzle in the connection piece without restricting the performance of the device, since it is essential to achieve an axial alignment between the inlet nozzle axis and the outlet nozzle axis.
- Another advantage of a one-piece mixing chamber body with the outlet nozzle is the usually good correspondence between the axes of the mixing chamber bore and the outlet nozzle bore, which results from the manufacturing process. If the water nozzle is precisely fitted in the mixing chamber bore, this automatically results in an exact alignment of the water nozzle axis with the outlet nozzle axis.
- the manufacturing tolerances of the body holder have no influence on the alignment of the axes.
- a separate bushing device is accommodated in the stop nut, which has a bore for receiving an outlet nozzle separate from the mixing chamber body.
- the mixing chamber body can be made of a material that is not as high-quality as the outlet nozzle as a simple cylindrical body, while the outlet nozzle is pressed against the mixing chamber body in axial alignment, end face to end face, by the stop nut, seated in the socket device .
- the bore axis of the bore is eccentric to the axis of the bushing device.
- the stop nut is closed with a union nut provided with a through hole, the free end of the outlet nozzle projecting through the through hole and between Union nut and bushing device, a connection agring, which is firmly connected to the outlet nozzle, is included.
- the axial length of the mixing chamber is advantageously in the range between 2-4 mm.
- the abrasive one! ate is advantageously introduced through the mixing chamber body into the mixing chamber, so that the geometry of the mixing chamber designed as a bore in the mixing chamber body described above is essentially not disturbed.
- abrasive inlet by an abrasive tube which is interchangeably inserted into the abrasive inlet.
- the abrasive inlet is preferably tapered towards the actual mixing chamber, so that an abrasive inlet opening into the mixing chamber body can be defined with a defined size.
- the abrasive tube has an external thread which engages in a corresponding internal thread formed in the mixing chamber body and / or in the body holder, so that abrasive tubes of different geometries can be used very quickly can.
- the mixing chamber is advantageously located at its outlet for the water-abrasive agent Seeing end tapered funnel-shaped.
- the outlet nozzle is under very high mechanical stress due to the high mechanical influences on it by the water-abrasive mixture.
- the outlet nozzle is made of a suitable hard material.
- it can also be sensible and therefore advantageous to likewise form the mixing chamber body from the same hard material if, for example, the mixing chamber body and the outlet nozzle are manufactured in one piece, the increased material expenditure for the mixing chamber body then taking a back seat compared to the manufacturer ⁇ costs of separate mixing chamber body made of a special material.
- an additional fluid supply device is advantageously provided in the outlet nozzle region.
- This addition can take place vertically or at an acute angle in the jet direction to the outlet nozzle bore via one or more fluid channels or via an annular addition geometry. If an abrasive nozzle that is not formed in one piece with the mixing chamber body is used, this can preferably be done at the point of division. Different jet behavior can be achieved by the type of fluid and the fluid pressure.
- the wet addition consisting of water and abrasive material can also be used in the device described here.
- the pressure range in which the abrasive additives advantageously works can be between 1 and approx. 300 bar.
- Fig. 1 in section of a first embodiment of the device
- Fig. 2 in section a second embodiment of the device.
- the device 10 essentially consists of a mixing chamber body 120 and a so-called connection piece 121, which is connected on a free side to a pressure line, not shown here, in a known manner.
- the connecting piece 121 has a through hole which runs essentially centrally, through which the water brought in via the pressure line (not shown) passes according to the arrow 15.
- a nozzle insert 19 is provided which, for example, comprises the water inlet nozzle 17 made of a hard material such as sapphire or the like.
- the nozzle insert is seated in a conical seat in the connecting piece 121 formed at the lower end, based on the figures
- Nozzle insert 19 has a through hole which passes through it essentially centrally, the one end of the through hole which points towards the mixing chamber 12 forming an inlet 13 of the water or water jet 15 into the mixing chamber 12.
- the mixing chamber body 120 is essentially rotationally symmetrical in the form of a cylinder.
- the actual mixing chamber 12 is formed by a bore which is axial to the inlet nozzle axis 18 and which is delimited on the water inlet nozzle side 19 by the water inlet nozzle 17.
- the water inlet nozzle 17 protrudes into the mixing chamber, the water inlet nozzle 17 being supported with a flange-like collar 170 on the upper boundary surface 123 of the mixing chamber body 120.
- the axial length 122 of the mixing chamber 12 is in the range of 2-8 mm, preferably in the range of 2-4 mm, with chamber diameters of 2-8 mm being advantageous, for example.
- the abrasive agent 160 is introduced in a known manner into the water jet 15 passing through the mixing chamber 12 from the inlet 13 to an outlet 14, which is formed here in the mixing chamber body 120.
- the water inlet nozzle axis 18 and thus that of the water jet 15 must be aligned with high precision axially to the outlet nozzle axis 24 or to the mixing chamber body axis 124 in order to ensure optimum energy transmission of the water jet 15 to the abrasive medium 160.
- the mixing chamber body 120 is received in a body holder 25. This is connected on one side 250 to the connecting piece 121 and on the other side 151 to a stop nut 132 via threaded connections 152, 153 formed there in each case.
- the mixing chamber body 120 itself is essentially cylindrical.
- the bore 254 passing through the body holder 25 is also essentially cylindrical and is dimensioned such that the mixing chamber body 120 is received in it with radial play.
- the mixing chamber body 120 is formed in one piece with the outlet nozzle 21, namely in the extension of the outward extension of the mixing chamber body 120.
- the stop nut 32 which has a recess 34 in its inner bore 33, encloses the mixing chamber body 120, which is correspondingly tapered in diameter at this point.
- the inner bore 33 has a larger diameter than the diameter of the outlet nozzle 21 formed as an extension in the mixing chamber body 120, the diameter being dimensioned such that the outlet nozzle 21 passes through the inner bore 33 with play.
- the outlet nozzle 21 there can be a fluid channel 212 or a plurality of fluid channels which run at right angles or at an acute angle (here at 45 ') to the outlet nozzle axis 24.
