Description

L'invention concerne le domaine des chalumeaux notamment les chalumeaux utilisables dans des techniques de découpage (oxycoupage par exemple) d'usinage à la flamme (en particulier tout chalumeau oxygaz), de décriquage, de décapage, ou de trempe superficielle.The invention relates to the field of torches, in particular torches which can be used in cutting techniques (flame cutting for example) of flame machining (in particular any oxy-fuel torch), of stripping, of stripping, or of surface quenching.

Qu'il s'agisse de buses de chauffage, ou encore de buses de décriquage ou d'oxycoupage, les risques des retours de flamme dans l'utilisation des chalumeaux est bien connu, et les fabricants cherchent toujours à minimiser ces risques qui sont la cause de graves accidents.Whether it is heating nozzles, or even cracking or flame cutting nozzles, the risks of flashbacks in the use of torches is well known, and manufacturers are always seeking to minimize these risks which are the cause of serious accidents.

On a déjà proposé de monter, à l'intérieur au corps de buse et très en arrière de l'orifice de sortie, un élément poreux visant à constituer une barrière de sécurité en cas de retour de flamme. Une telle solution est par exemple illustrée dans les documents CH-A-472 632 et FR-A-1 448 292.It has already been proposed to mount, inside the nozzle body and far behind the outlet orifice, a porous element intended to constitute a safety barrier in the event of a flashback. Such a solution is for example illustrated in the documents CH-A-472 632 and FR-A-1 448 292.

C'est ainsi que FR-A-1 448 292 décrit une buse de chalumeau à gaz, comportant un corps de buse muni de canaux axiaux d'amenée de gaz qui débouchent au voisinage de l'extrémité distale du corps de buse, les gaz passant par un élément traversant en métal poreux agencé à l'intérieur de ladite buse pour barrer la propagation de la flamme vers l'amont lors de l'allumage dudit chalumeau.This is how FR-A-1 448 292 describes a gas torch nozzle, comprising a nozzle body provided with axial gas supply channels which open in the vicinity of the distal end of the nozzle body, the gases passing through a porous metal through element arranged inside said nozzle to block the propagation of the flame upstream when said torch is lit.

Les buses de chalumeau à gaz décrites dans ces documents présentent par ailleurs un orifice de sortie unique formant une flamme large libérant la chaleur à une distance importante dudit orifice.The gas torch nozzles described in these documents also have a single outlet orifice forming a wide flame releasing the heat at a considerable distance from said orifice.

Pour qu'il y ait retour de flamme, il faut conjuguer l'arrivée d'un mélange de gaz détonant dans le corps de chalumeau ou dans les flexibles d'alimentation de ce chalumeau, et l'allumage de ce mélange de gaz détonant par une flamme. Les accidents se produisent en général à l'allumage du chalumeau, ou suite à des projections de métal en fusion contre le front de la buse en bouchant les trous de sortie du gaz. En effet, il arrive alors que l'opérateur ouvre les robinets d'arrivée de gaz, et présente une flamme à l'extrémité de la buse pour allumer le chalumeau, sans avoir pris le temps de purger et sans avoir établi le débit normal des gaz.For there to be a flashback, it is necessary to combine the arrival of a mixture of detonating gas in the body of the torch or in the supply hoses of this torch, and the ignition of this mixture of detonating gas by A flame. Accidents generally occur when the torch is ignited, or following projections of molten metal against the front of the nozzle, blocking the gas outlet holes. Indeed, it happens that the operator opens the gas inlet valves, and presents a flame at the end of the nozzle to light the torch, without having taken the time to purge and without having established the normal gas flow rate.

La solution mentionnée plus haut ne donne pas totalement satisfaction, car la barrière de sécurité est relativement éloignée de l'orifice de sortie de la buse, et il n'est pas possible de la monter près de cet orifice de sortie, car la formation de la flamme serait trop perturbée.The above-mentioned solution is not entirely satisfactory, since the safety barrier is relatively far from the outlet orifice of the nozzle, and it is not possible to mount it near this outlet orifice, because the formation of the flame would be too disturbed.

Le danger est particulièrement important dans le cas de chalumeaux de décriquage, de décapage, d'oxysoudage, d'oxybrasage, ou encore d'oxycoupage. En effet, si pour une cause quelconque, qui peut être tout simplement une négligence de la fermeture soigneuse des robinets lors de l'arrêt précédent du chalumeau, de l'oxygène s'est introduit dans le circuit de gaz ou inversement, le fait de présenter la flamme à l'extrémité de la buse allume le mélange, en propage la réaction partout où se trouve effectivement un mélange inflammable, et c'est alors l'accident.The danger is particularly important in the case of cutting torches, pickling, oxy-welding, oxy-brazing, or even oxygen-cutting. Indeed, if for any reason, which may be simply negligence in the careful closing of the valves during the previous shutdown of the torch, oxygen is introduced into the gas circuit or vice versa, the fact of presenting the flame at the end of the nozzle ignites the mixture, propagates the reaction wherever there is actually a flammable mixture, and it is then the accident.

L'invention a pour but d'améliorer la sécurité des buses de chalumeaux au regard des risques d'accident dus aux retours de flamme, tout en permettant une structuration de la flamme conférant à la buse une grande souplesse d'utilisation et une précision élevée de fonctionnement.The object of the invention is to improve the safety of the torch nozzles with regard to the risk of accident due to flashback, while allowing the flame to be structured, giving the nozzle great flexibility of use and high precision. Operating.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet de réaliser une buse de chalumeau à gaz dont la structure permet de contrer efficacement l'allumage intempestif d'un mélange de gaz détonant, notamment lors de l'allumage du chalumeau, et ce quel que soit le type de chalumeau, tout en organisant la structure de la flamme pour avoir une chaleur plus concentrée au voisinage de la sortie de la buse.The object of the invention is therefore to produce a gas torch nozzle, the structure of which makes it possible to effectively counter the inadvertent ignition of a mixture of detonating gas, in particular during the lighting of the torch, whatever the type. torch, while organizing the structure of the flame to have a more concentrated heat near the outlet of the nozzle.

Il s'agit plus particulièrement d'une buse de chalumeau à gaz, comportant un corps de buse muni de canaux axiaux d'amenée de gaz qui débouchent au voisinage de l'extrémité distale du corps de buse, les gaz passant par un élément traversant en métal poreux agencé à l'intérieur de ladite buse pour barrer la propagation de la flamme lors de l'allumage dudit chalumeau, caractérisée par le fait qu'elle comporte une bague de sortie montée sur l'extrémité distale du corps de buse, ladite bague présentant une pluralité de petits trous axiaux formant des orifices de sortie pour ladite buse, et que l'élément traversant en métal poreux est intercalé entre l'extrémité aval des canaux d'amenée et la bague de sortie précitée, ledit élément laissant passer les gaz dans les trous axiaux lors du fonctionnement normal du chalumeau pour l'obtention d'une flamme fractionnée en petits dards.It is more particularly a gas torch nozzle, comprising a nozzle body provided with channels axial gas supply which open in the vicinity of the distal end of the nozzle body, the gases passing through a porous metal through element arranged inside said nozzle to block the propagation of the flame during ignition of said torch, characterized in that it comprises an outlet ring mounted on the distal end of the nozzle body, said ring having a plurality of small axial holes forming outlet openings for said nozzle, and that the through element of porous metal is interposed between the downstream end of the supply channels and the aforementioned outlet ring, said element allowing the gases to pass through the axial holes during normal operation of the torch to obtain a fractional flame in small darts .

L'élément traversant en métal poreux est donc proche de la sortie de la buse, et la flamme est structurée en une pluralité de petits dards, ce qui permet de concentrer la chaleur au voisinage immédiat de la sortie, tout en permettant de moduler sans risque la flamme grâce à la présence de l'élément traversant. La réalisation de petits trous de chauffe permet également de gêner, voire d'interdire, la pénétration du métal liquide projeté contre la buse à l'intérieur des trous par simple phénomène de capillarité conjuguée avec l'utilisation d'une plus forte pression d'éjection des gaz.The porous metal through element is therefore close to the outlet of the nozzle, and the flame is structured in a plurality of small darts, which makes it possible to concentrate the heat in the immediate vicinity of the outlet, while allowing to modulate without risk the flame thanks to the presence of the through element. The realization of small heating holes also makes it possible to hinder, even to prohibit, the penetration of the liquid metal projected against the nozzle inside the holes by simple phenomenon of capillarity combined with the use of a higher pressure of gas ejection.

De préférence, le nombre et la section des trous axiaux de la bague de sortie sont choisis de telle façon que la section totale de ces trous axiaux corresponde sensiblement à la section totale des canaux d'amenée de gaz, pour assurer simultanément une fonction de limiteur de bruit.Preferably, the number and the section of the axial holes of the outlet ring are chosen such that the total section of these axial holes corresponds substantially to the total section of the gas supply channels, to simultaneously perform a limiter function. noise.

Conformément à un mode d'exécution particulier, l'élément traversant est réalisé sous la forme d'une couronne ou d'une rondelle plate, qui est disposée au voisinage direct d'une chambre de répartition commune aux canaux d'amenée de gaz. En particulier, l'élément traversant est monté dans la bague de sortie, en étant en appui contre un épaulement associé.In accordance with a particular embodiment, the through element is produced in the form of a crown or a flat washer, which is arranged in the immediate vicinity of a distribution chamber common to the gas supply channels. In particular, the through element is mounted in the outlet ring, while being in abutment against an associated shoulder.

L'élément traversant pourra être réalisé en métal fritté, notamment en bronze ou en laiton.The through element may be made of sintered metal, in particular bronze or brass.

Il peut s'avérer également intéressant que la buse comporte en outre au moins un élément filtrant disposé devant les orifices d'entrée des canaux axiaux d'amenée de gaz, afin de retenir les impuretés véhiculées par les gaz lors du fonctionnement du chalumeau et éviter ainsi le colmatage de l'élément traversant. Avantageusement alors, l'extrémité proximale du corps de buse présente au moins une gorge circulaire de distribution de gaz dans laquelle débouchent les orifices d'entrée des canaux axiaux, cette gorge ou chacune de ces gorges recevant alors un élément filtrant réalisé sous la forme d'un anneau poreux.It may also be advantageous for the nozzle to further comprise at least one filter element disposed in front of the inlet orifices of the axial gas supply channels, in order to retain the impurities carried by the gases during the operation of the torch and avoid thus the clogging of the through element. Advantageously then, the proximal end of the nozzle body has at least one circular gas distribution groove into which the inlet orifices of the axial channels open, this groove or each of these grooves then receiving a filter element produced in the form of 'a porous ring.

De préférence encore, lorsqu'il s'agit d'une buse plus particulièrement destinée à équiper un chalumeau de décriquage ou d'oxycoupage, le corps de buse présente une tuyère centrale pour le passage de l'oxygène et des canaux axiaux agencés autour de cette tuyère pour le passage des gaz de chauffe, et l'élément traversant est réalisé sous la forme d'une couronne montée sur l'extrémité distale de ladite tuyère.More preferably, when it is a nozzle more particularly intended to equip a cutting or flame cutting torch, the nozzle body has a central nozzle for the passage of oxygen and axial channels arranged around this nozzle for the passage of heating gases, and the through element is produced in the form of a crown mounted on the distal end of said nozzle.

Avantageusement alors, la bague de sortie associée à l'élément traversant est enfilée sur I'extrémité distale du corps de buse formant la sortie de la tuyère, et cette bague est fixée par brasage audit corps. En particulier, la bague de sortie est entourée par une bague de protection qui est fixée simultanément par le brasage précité.Advantageously then, the outlet ring associated with the through element is threaded onto the distal end of the nozzle body forming the outlet of the nozzle, and this ring is fixed by brazing to said body. In particular, the outlet ring is surrounded by a protective ring which is fixed simultaneously by the aforementioned brazing.

La buse de chalumeau illustrée ici sert à équiper un chalumeau de décriquage, ce qui explique la présence d'une tuyère centrale 102 associée au passage de l'oxygène, tuyère dont l'entrée est référencée 102.2 et la sortie 102.1, les canaux axiaux précités 103 étant alors agencés autour de cette tuyère pour assurer le passage des gaz de chauffe. Il ne s'agit cependant que d'un exemple, et il va de soi que l'invention pourra également s'appliquer à tout autre type de chalumeaux à gaz, notamment aux chalumeaux de chauffage de type conventionnel, dont le corps de buse est alors exempt de tuyère centrale .En particulier, dans le cas de chalumeaux de décapage, de trempe superficielle ou de chauffage, on pourra avoir un corps de buse ayant en section une forme polygonale (en général rectangulaire ou octogonale), avec un axe ou plusieurs axes parallèles (en général deux axes).FIG. 1 makes it possible to distinguish a gas torch nozzle 100 according to the invention, comprising a nozzle body 101 (the structure of which will be better understood by referring to FIGS. 2 and 3), which is here of generally cylindrical shape ( the axis of the nozzle body is marked X), said body being provided with axial gas supply channels 103 which open through outlet orifices associated in the vicinity of the distal end 111 of the nozzle body 101. The nozzle of torch illustrated here is used to equip a slewing torch, which explains the presence of a central nozzle 102 associated with the passage of oxygen, nozzle whose inlet is referenced 102.2 and outlet 102.1, the aforementioned axial channels 103 then being arranged around this nozzle to ensure the passage of the heating gases. However, this is only an example, and it goes without saying that the invention can also be applied to any other type of gas torches, in particular to conventional type heating torches, the nozzle body of which is then free of central nozzle. In particular, in the case of stripping torches, surface quenching or heating, one could have a nozzle body having in section a polygonal shape (in general rectangular or octagonal), with an axis or several parallel axes (usually two axes).

Conformément à un aspect essentiel de l'invention, la b.use 100 comporte une bague de sortie 115 montée sur l'extrémité distale du corps de buse 101, ladite bague présentant une pluralité de petits trous axiaux 117 formant orifices de sortie, et un élément traversant 120 en métal poreux est intercalé entre l'extrémité aval des canaux d'amenée 103 et la bague de sortie précitée 115, ledit élément traversant laissant passer les gaz vers l'aval dans ces trous axiaux lors du fonctionnement normal du chalumeau pour l'obtention d'une flamme fractionnée en petits dards, mais barrant de façon connue en soi la propagation de la flamme vers l'amont lors de l'allumage dudit chalumeau.According to an essential aspect of the invention, the nozzle 100 comprises an outlet ring 115 mounted on the distal end of the nozzle body 101, said ring having a plurality of small axial holes 117 forming outlet openings, and a traversing element 120 made of porous metal is interposed between the downstream end of the supply channels 103 and the aforementioned outlet ring 115, said traversing element allowing the gases to pass downstream in these axial holes during normal operation of the torch for the 'Obtaining a fractional flame in small darts, but barring in a manner known per se the propagation of the flame upstream during the lighting of said torch.

Ainsi, lors de l'allumage du chalumeau, l'élément traversant 120 en métal poreux constitue une barrière à la propagation de la flamme, laquelle barrière est au voisinage immédiat de la sortie de la buse, et empêche la réaction d'allumage de mélange de gaz détonant de se propager partout où se trouve effectivement le mélange inflammable, dans le cas où de l'oxygène se serait introduit dans le circuit de gaz ou vice versa, par suite notamment d'une négligence de l'opérateur lors de la fermeture précédente des robinets à l'arrêt du chalumeau. L'élément traversant 120 ne fait aucunement obstacle au fonctionnement normal du chalumeau (le sens allant de l'amont vers l'aval), avec sa flamme structurée en une pluralité de petits dards, et constitue une barrière extrêmement efficace à la propagation de la flamme ( le sens allant de l'aval vers l'amont).Thus, during the lighting of the torch, the through element 120 made of porous metal constitutes a barrier to the propagation of the flame, which barrier is in the immediate vicinity of the outlet of the nozzle, and prevents the ignition reaction of the mixture. detonating gas to propagate wherever the flammable mixture is actually found, in the event that oxygen is introduced into the gas circuit or vice versa, due in particular to negligence on the part of the operator when previous shutdown of valves when the torch stopped. The through element 120 does not in any way prevent the normal operation of the torch (the direction going from upstream to downstream), with its flame structured in a plurality of small darts, and constitutes an extremely effective barrier to the propagation of the flame (the direction going from downstream to upstream).

L'élément traversant 120 peut être réalisé sous la forme d'une couronne ou d'une rondelle plate, en métal fritté, notamment en bronze ou en laiton. En l'espèce,ainsi que cela est mieux visible sur les figures 4 et 5, l'élément traversant 120 est réalisé sous la forme d'une couronne circulaire, montée sur l'extrémité distale 111 de la tuyère centrale. Lorsqu'il s'agira d'une buse destinée à équiper d'autres types de chalumeaux, l'élément traversant 120 pourra être réalisé sous la forme d'une rondelle, circulaire ou non, en appui direct par un épaulement associé contre l'extrémité distale du corps de buse.The through element 120 can be produced in the form of a crown or a flat washer, made of sintered metal, in particular bronze or brass. In this case, as can be seen more clearly in FIGS. 4 and 5, the through element 120 is produced in the form of a circular crown, mounted on the distal end 111 of the central nozzle. When it is a nozzle intended to equip other types of torches, the through element 120 may be produced in the form of a washer, circular or not, in direct support by an associated shoulder against the distal end of the nozzle body.

L'élément traversant 120 est intercalé entre le corps de buse 101 et la bague de sortie 115 qui est également montée sur l'extrémité distale 111 de la tuyère. L'élément traversant 120 est ici disposé au voisinage direct d'une chambre de répartition 112, qui est une chambre annulaire commune aux différents canaux d'amenée de gaz 103. L'agencement de cette chambre de répartition 112, et des canaux d'amenée 103 associés, sera mieux compris en se référant aux figures 2 et 3. En l'espèce, chacun des canaux d'amenée 103, ici au nombre de quatre, se termine du côté amont par une branche axiale débouchant au niveau d'un orifice 104 dans une gorge de distribution associée 107, par exemple associée à l'arrivée d'oxygène de chauffe, et aussi par une branche de dérivation 105 qui débouche, au niveau d'un orifice associé 106 dans une autre gorge de distribution 108, par exemple associée à l'arrivée de carburant. On distingue également, du côté aval de la buse, un bord d'appui circulaire 113 que contacte l'élément traversant 120 lorsque celui-ci est mis en place sur l'extrémité distale de la tuyère. Le maintien de l'élément traversant est assuré par la bague de sortie 115 également montée sur l'extrémité distale de la tuyère du corps de buse 101, bague dont la structure sera mieux comprise en se référant à la coupe de la figure 6.The through element 120 is interposed between the nozzle body 101 and the outlet ring 115 which is also mounted on the distal end 111 of the nozzle. The through element 120 is here disposed in the direct vicinity of a distribution chamber 112, which is an annular chamber common to the various gas supply channels 103. The arrangement of this distribution chamber 112, and of the distribution channels lead 103 associated, will be better understood by referring to Figures 2 and 3. In this case, each of the feed channels 103, here four in number, ends on the upstream side by an axial branch opening at a orifice 104 in an associated distribution groove 107, for example associated with the arrival of heating oxygen, and also by a branch branch 105 which opens, at an associated orifice 106 in another distribution groove 108, for example associated with the fuel supply. There is also a distinction, on the downstream side of the nozzle, a circular bearing edge 113 that the through element 120 contacts when it is placed on the distal end of the nozzle. Maintaining the through element is ensured by the outlet ring 115 also mounted on the distal end of the nozzle of the nozzle body 101, a ring whose structure will be better understood by referring to the section in FIG. 6.

La bague de sortie 115 présente un alésage central 116 qui correspond au diamètre extérieur de l'extrémité distale 111 du corps de buse, de façon à éviter tout passage de gaz intempestif au niveau des surfaces de contact. La bague de sortie 115 présente également une pluralité de petits trous axiaux 117 qui sont associés à la sortie des gaz de chauffe, par exemple agencés en une rangée circulaire unique comme cela est illustré ici. Par "une pluralité", il faut comprendre un nombre très supérieur à celui des canaux d'amenée de gaz, et par "petite section" on entend une section très inférieure à celle desdits canaux d'amenée. Ces petits trous axiaux 117 réalisent un fractionnement de la flamme, qui se présente sous la forme d'autant de petits dards concentrant la chaleur à une faible distance, déterminable avec précision, de la sortie de la buse.The outlet ring 115 has a central bore 116 which corresponds to the outside diameter of the distal end 111 of the nozzle body, so as to avoid any untimely passage of gas at the contact surfaces. The outlet ring 115 also has a plurality of small axial holes 117 which are associated with the outlet of the heating gases, for example arranged in a single circular row as illustrated here. By "a plurality", it is necessary to understand a number much greater than that of the gas supply channels, and by "small section" means a section much less than that of said supply channels. These small axial holes 117 carry out a fractionation of the flame, which takes the form of as many small darts concentrating the heat at a short distance, which can be determined with precision, from the outlet of the nozzle.

De préférence, le nombre et la section des trous axiaux sont choisis de telle façon que la section totale corresponde sensiblement à la section totale des canaux d'amenée de gaz 103, de façon à assurer simultanément une fonction de limiteur de bruit.Preferably, the number and the section of the axial holes are chosen such that the total section corresponds substantially to the total section of the gas supply channels 103, so as to simultaneously perform a noise limiter function.

A titre d'exemple, lorsque l'on utilise comme ici quatre canaux d'amenée 103 dont le diamètre d'entrée est de l'ordre de 4,5 mm, il sera prévu trente-huit à soixante trous axiaux 117 d'un diamètre de 1,5 à 1,2 mm, par exemple répartis régulièrement sur une circonférence de la bague de maintien, la longueur de ces trous axiaux étant quant à elle de l'ordre de 10 mm. L'agencement de ces trous axiaux sera plus généralement prévu selon une ou plusieurs lignes, cette ou ces lignes pouvant être rectilignes ou incurvées selon le cas: la répartition selon une ligne circulaire illustrée ici ne constitue donc qu'un exemple.For example, when using as here four supply channels 103 whose inlet diameter is of the order of 4.5 mm, thirty-eight to sixty axial holes 117 of a diameter of 1.5 to 1.2 mm, for example distributed regularly over a circumference of the retaining ring, the length of these axial holes being in the order of 10 mm. The arrangement of these axial holes will more generally be provided along one or more lines, this or these lines being able to be rectilinear or curved as the case may be: the distribution along a circular line illustrated here therefore constitutes only one example.

Grâce à ce grand nombre de trous axiaux de très faible diamètre, on parvient à limiter la quantité de mouvement de la flamme, et par suite à minimiser considérablement le bruit du chalumeau lors du fonctionnement de celui-ci. La bague de sortie 115 présente en outre, du côté amont, un épaulement d'appui 118, contre lequel vient en butée l'élément traversant 120 : l'élément traversant est alors monté dans la bague de sortie. En l'espèce, on a également prévu un épaulement 119 venant au contact direct du bord d'appui circulaire 113 du corps de buse 101, de façon à éviter tout risque d'écrasement de l'élément traversant en métal poreux lors du montage précis de la bague 115.Thanks to this large number of axial holes of very small diameter, it is possible to limit the amount of movement of the flame, and consequently considerably minimize the noise of the torch during its operation. The outlet ring 115 also has, on the upstream side, a support shoulder 118, against which the through element 120 abuts: the through element is then mounted in the outlet ring. In this case, a shoulder 119 is also provided which comes into direct contact with the circular bearing edge 113 of the nozzle body 101, so as to avoid any risk of crushing of the porous metal through element during precise mounting. of the ring 115.

L'élément traversant 120 se présente en l'espèce sous la forme d'une couronne circulaire en métal fritte, dont l'épaisseur peut être de l'ordre de 3 mm, avec un diamètre intérieur qui est ici de l'ordre de 20 mm ,et un diamètre extérieur de l'ordre de 32 mm. La bague de sortie 115, qui est par exemple réalisée en cupro-tellure, est de préférence enfilée avec l'élément traversant 120, après mise en place préalable de celui-ci, sur l'extrémité distale 111 du corps de buse 101, et la solidarisation de cette bague audit corps de buse est assurée par un brasage noté 125 sur la figure 1. On a en outre prévu ici une bague de protection 114 entourant la bague de sortie 115, bague de protection qui est de préférence également fixée simultanément par le brasage précité.The through element 120 is in the present case in the form of a circular crown of sintered metal, the thickness of which can be of the order of 3 mm, with an internal diameter which is here of the order of 20 mm, and an outside diameter of the order of 32 mm. The outlet ring 115, which is for example made of cupro-tellurium, is preferably threaded with the through element 120, after prior positioning of the latter, on the distal end 111 of the nozzle body 101, and the connection of this ring to said nozzle body is ensured by soldering denoted 125 in FIG. 1. A protection ring 114 is also provided here surrounding the outlet ring 115, a protection ring which is preferably also fixed simultaneously by the aforementioned brazing.

La buse de chalumeau ainsi équipée peut présenter extérieurement une géométrie quelconque, et sa fixation peut être réalisée de façon tout à fait traditionnelle par un écrou de fixation 109 monté tournant sur le corps de buse.The torch nozzle thus equipped can have any geometry on the outside, and its fixing can be carried out in a completely traditional way by a fixing nut 109 mounted rotatably on the body of nozzle.

Le choix de l'agencement des petits trous axiaux servant à fractionner la flamme permet donc d'adapter la buse aux besoins recherchés, le nombre et la géométrie de ces trous permettant aussi d'optimiser le rendement du chalumeau. On parvient à réaliser une flamme qui est plus efficace que la flamme en dard unique des buses connues, tout en abaissant considérablement le niveau de bruit lors du fonctionnement.The choice of arrangement of the small axial holes used to split the flame therefore makes it possible to adapt the nozzle to the desired needs, the number and the geometry of these holes also making it possible to optimize the efficiency of the torch. It is possible to produce a flame which is more effective than the single dart flame of the known nozzles, while considerably lowering the noise level during operation.

La figure 7, qui est à rapprocher de la figure 1, illustre une variante de la buse précédente, dans laquelle des éléments filtrants sont en outre prévus pour retenir les impuretés véhiculées par les gaz lors du fonctionnement du chalumeau et éviter ainsi le colmatage de l'élément traversant.Figure 7, which is similar to Figure 1, illustrates a variant of the previous nozzle, in which filter elements are further provided to retain the impurities carried by the gases during the operation of the torch and thus avoid clogging of the through element.

La buse de chalumeau illustrée sur la figure 7 se différencie en effet de la précédente uniquement par la présence de deux éléments filtrants 121, 122, qui sont disposés devant les orifices d'entrée 104, 106 des canaux axiaux d'amenée de gaz 103. En l'espèce, du fait de la présence de deux gorges de distribution 107, 108 au niveau de l'extrémité proximale 110 du corps de buse 101, on a prévu deux éléments filtrants 121, 122 réalisés chacun sous la forme d'un anneau poreux. La présence de tels éléments filtrants est particulièrement avantageuse dans la mesure où le métal fritté présente l'inconvénient de retenir les impuretés véhiculées par les gaz, d'où il découle un risque de colmatage pouvant altérer le bon fonctionnement de la buse. On pourra naturellement réaliser différemment l'un ou l'autre de ces éléments filtrants, par exemple sous forme d'une cartouche filtrante aisément démontable, ce qui permet d'en assurer aisément le nettoyage et/ou le remplacement. Les anneaux poreux 121, 122 pourront en outre être collés au corps de buse, ou simplement coincés dans les gorges de distribution associées dudit corps de buse.The torch nozzle illustrated in FIG. 7 differs from the previous one only by the presence of two filter elements 121, 122, which are arranged in front of the inlet orifices 104, 106 of the axial gas supply channels 103. In this case, due to the presence of two distribution grooves 107, 108 at the proximal end 110 of the nozzle body 101, two filter elements 121, 122 are each provided in the form of a ring porous. The presence of such filter elements is particularly advantageous insofar as the sintered metal has the disadvantage of retaining the impurities carried by the gases, from which there arises a risk of clogging which can impair the proper functioning of the nozzle. One or the other of these filter elements can naturally be produced differently, for example in the form of an easily removable filter cartridge, which makes it easy to ensure cleaning and / or replacement. The porous rings 121, 122 may also be glued to the nozzle body, or simply wedged in the associated distribution grooves of said nozzle body.

On est ainsi parvenu à réaliser une buse de chalumeau à gaz dont la structure permet de contrer efficacement l'allumage intempestif d'un mélange de gaz détonant, notamment lors de l'allumage du chalumeau, et ce pour des types très différents de chalumeaux: il s'agit donc d'une véritable buse de sécurité. En outre, grâce à la présence de la bague de sortie qui agit simultanément comme moyen de fractionnement de la flamme, comme moyen de maintien de l'élément traversant en métal poreux, et comme moyen limiteur de bruit, il devient alors possible de concevoir à la demande l'architecture de la buse, notamment en recherchant les écoulements à la sortie les moins bruyants pour une puissance de chauffe ou pour une forme de flamme demandée, sans être tributaire de la vitesse de déflagration du mélange.We thus managed to produce a gas torch nozzle whose structure makes it possible to effectively counter the inadvertent ignition of a mixture of detonating gas, in particular during the lighting of the torch, and this for very different types of torches: it is therefore a real safety nozzle. In addition, thanks to the presence of the outlet ring which acts simultaneously as a means of fractionating the flame, as a means of holding the through element in porous metal, and as a noise limiting means, it then becomes possible to design the architecture of the nozzle, in particular by looking for the least noisy outlet flows for a heating power or for a required flame shape, without being dependent on the speed of the explosion of the mixture.
