The invention relates to the field of
nuclear fuel element manufacturing, in particular to a material boat in-place sensor and a high-temperature continuous
sintering furnace. According to the material boat in-place sensor, a spiral spring and a probe
piston are arranged in a shell, one end of a contact probe is located in the shell, and the other end of the contact probe penetrates out of the shell; the probe
piston slides in the shell and is in contact with the probe
piston when sliding to the end part; a
piston rod of the probe piston is sleeved with the spiral spring, the
tail cover is screwed on the shell through threads, a through hole is formed in the center of the
tail cover, and hole threads are arranged on the inner side of the through hole. The pre-tightening nut is assembled on a hole thread on one side of the
tail cover, the depth of the pre-tightening nut is adjusted through the thread, and then the initial elastic force of the spiral spring is adjusted. The
contact type sensor is assembled on a hole thread on the other side of the tail cover; after the contact probe is triggered, the contact probe moves towards the probe piston and contacts with the probe piston, the spiral spring is compressed, the probe piston is pushed towards the direction of the
contact type sensor, and then the
contact type sensor is started to generate a
control signal. And the material boat in-place sensor is integrally sealed. The material boat in-place sensor is arranged outside the
sintering furnace, the real position of the material boat in the
sintering furnace can be directly measured, the problem of false triggering of non-contact detection caused by environment change in the furnace is avoided, online maintenance and setting can be conducted outside, and the reliability of long-period operation of the material boat in-place sensor is guaranteed.
