Patent

CA 2560290

A method and apparatus for using a collet to align and/or axially secure a liner within the gooseneck of a welding torch and to extend the useful life of the torch components is provided. A method and apparatus for securing torch components including said collet and including tapered locking engagement connections is also provided. A position of the liner with respect to a retaining head or a diffuser can be established and maintained, in spite of bending, swiveling, and other general movement of the torch, while still allowing flow of a shield gas past the collet. The welding torch components, including a gas diffuser, can be secured to the torch or other torch components via tapered locking engagements. The invention is useful for both manual and robotic torch systems.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil qui permettent d'utiliser un collet permettant d'aligner et/ou de fixer axialement un revêtement dans le col de cygne d'un chalumeau soudeur et de prolonger la durée de vie utile des composants de chalumeau soudeur. L'invention concerne également un procédé et un appareil qui permettent de fixer les composants de chalumeau soudeur, y compris le collet et des raccords de verrouillage effilés. Une position du revêtement par rapport à une tête de retenue ou un diffuseur peut être établie et conservée, même en cas de flexion, de pivotement et d'autres mouvements généraux du chalumeau, tout en laissant un gaz de protection traverser le collet. Les composants de chalumeau soudeur, y compris un diffuseur de gaz, peuvent être fixés au chalumeau ou à d'autres composants du chalumeau par des raccords de verrouillage effilés. L'invention convient tant à des systèmes manuels qu'à des systèmes robotiques de chalumeau.
