[0038] Specifically, the temperature sensor is formed by a plurality of thermal resistor elements 2 compounded in a metal protective outer tube 1, the thermal resistor element 2 is arranged in the metal protective outer tube 1 to form a temperature measuring end, the thermal resistor element 2 is connected to the high temperature resistant wire 3 by laser welding, and the high temperature resistant wire 3 is connected to the high temperature signal cable 4 by resistance welding. After the thermal resistor element 2 receives the temperature on the engine, it transmits the resistance signal to the monitoring system through the high temperature resistant wire 3 and the high temperature signal cable 4. The position of the thermal resistor element 2 in the temperature measuring end is defined as the measuring point, that is, the temperature measuring end is located at the end of the metal protective outer tube 1, and the measuring point is located in the metal protective outer tube 1. The temperature measuring end of the metal protective outer tube 1 is pressure-sealed by head welding. For example, the temperature measuring end is sealed by argon arc welding.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the number of thermal resistor elements 2 is greater than or equal to 2, and the plurality of thermal resistor elements 2 are arranged at the same height position of the temperature measuring end of the metal protective outer tube; the thermal resistor element 2 includes one or more of Pt100, Pt1000, and Pt2000. The number of high temperature resistant wires 3 and high temperature signal cables 4 is the same, which is twice, three times, or four times the number of thermal resistor elements 2 in the temperature sensor, that is, the high temperature resistant wire 3 and high temperature signal cable 4 corresponding to one thermal resistor element 2 include a two-wire system (two core wires), a three-wire system (three core wires), or a four-wire system (four core wires).

[0040] The surrounding of the thermal resistor element 2 and the sealing welding place between the thermal resistor element 2 and the temperature measuring end are filled with inorganic insulating materials, that is, the interior of the temperature measuring end is filled with inorganic insulating materials. In a specific embodiment, the inorganic insulating material includes one or more of magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, and silicon dioxide; the inorganic insulating material selected for the high temperature resistant wire is different according to the use temperature. The inorganic insulating material can not only improve the performance of the temperature sensor in resisting mechanical vibration, impact, etc., but also improve the thermal response time.

[0041] In the metal protective outer tube 1, the gaps between the leads of the thermal resistor element 2 and the gaps between the high temperature resistant wires 3 are filled with high temperature inorganic glue, which is used to ensure that the leads of the thermal resistor element 2, the high temperature resistant wires 3 and the metal protective outer tube 1 are integrated into one body, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the temperature sensor against vibration, impact, vibration, tilt and swing, etc. In a specific embodiment, the high temperature inorganic glue includes magnesium oxide insulating material mixed with water glass slurry.

[0042] A section of variable-section sleeve 12 is provided near the temperature measuring end of the metal protective outer tube 1, dividing the metal protective outer tube 1 into three sections: a first section of the metal tube 11, a variable-section sleeve 12 and a second section of the metal tube 13. The thermal resistor element 2 (temperature measuring end) is located at the end of the first section of the metal tube 11, and the high-temperature resistant wire 3 extends from the first section of the metal tube 11, the variable-section sleeve 12 and the second section of the metal tube 13 in sequence.

[0043] The variable cross-section sleeve 12 includes a variable cross-section section 121 and a constant cross-section section 122. The variable cross-section section 121 is close to the temperature measuring end and the small end of the variable cross-section section 121 is connected to the first section of the metal tube 11. The constant cross-section section 122 is close to the second section of the metal tube 13 and is connected to the second section of the metal tube 13. It can be understood that the small end of the variable cross-section sleeve 12 is connected to the first section of the metal tube 11, and the large end is connected to the second section of the metal tube 13.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the small end of the variable cross-section sleeve 12 is welded to the outer shell of the first section metal tube 11 by girth welding (for example, laser welding), and the large end is connected to the second section metal tube 13 by crimping. By crimping, the variable cross-section sleeve 12 is firmly fixed to the metal protection outer tube 1. In order to ensure the sealing quality, the girth welding sealing of the variable cross-section sleeve 12 and the metal protection outer tube 1 must be guaranteed.

[0045] For example, the distance from the variable cross-section small end of the variable cross-section sleeve 12 to the ferrule crimping point is 84 mm, and the length of the large end crimping with the second section of the metal tube 13 is 5 mm. The diameter of the small end of the variable cross-section sleeve 12 is 3.2 mm, and the diameter of the large end is 4.5 mm.

[0046] In this embodiment, the variable-section sleeve and the metal protective outer tube are connected by crimping, so that the connection between the two is more firm, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the sensor under the operating environment conditions.

[0047] The metal protective outer tube 1 is welded with a sealed connection end 14 near the wiring terminal, wherein the wiring terminal refers to the welding point of the high temperature resistant wire 3 and the high temperature signal cable 4. The function of the sealed connection end 14 is to strengthen the connection performance between the high temperature resistant wire 3 and the high temperature signal cable 4, to ensure the stable and reliable connection between the high temperature resistant wire 3 and the high temperature signal cable 4, and to ensure that the resistance signal monitored by the thermal resistor element 2 can be stably and reliably transmitted to the monitoring system through the high temperature resistant wire 3 and the high temperature signal cable 4. Exemplarily, the distance between the end of the sealed connection end 14 near the high temperature resistant wire 3 and the wiring terminal is 12 mm.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, one end of the sealed connection end 14 is welded to the second section of the metal tube 13 by ring welding (such as laser welding), and the other end is crimped to the shielding wire 41 of the high-temperature signal cable 4 by a crimping process. Exemplarily, the crimping length is 5 mm.

[0049] It should be emphasized that all welding points in this embodiment need to be sealed to ensure the sealing between the sensor and the interface and the integrity of the sensor.

[0050] The sealing connection end 14 is made of metal material, so that the metal protection outer tube 1, the sealing connection end 14 and the shielding wire 41 form an anti-electromagnetic interference structure. In a specific embodiment, the metal protection outer tube 1 and the sealing connection end 14 are made of stainless steel, such as Inconel600 stainless steel; the use of stainless steel material can ensure that the performance of the temperature sensor is more stable and reliable, and ensure the sealing performance when a loss of water accident occurs on the ship.

[0051] In order to ensure the insulation performance of the temperature sensor, the sealed connection end 14 and the shielding wire 41 are filled with high-temperature insulating sealant before crimping; before the high-temperature insulating sealant dries, the crimping process is completed so that the high-temperature insulating sealant completely wraps the welding point between the high-temperature resistant wire 3 and the high-temperature signal cable 4, while ensuring the sealing performance of the sealed connection end 14; after the high-temperature insulating sealant dries, the sealed connection end 14, the high-temperature resistant wire 3 and the high-temperature signal cable 4 are combined into one, thereby improving the temperature sensor's resistance to mechanical vibration, impact and insulation sealing. In a specific embodiment, the high-temperature insulating sealant is an organic glue with an operating temperature greater than 200°C, and it still has good insulation and sealing properties when used above 200°C for a long time.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, the high temperature resistant wire 3 is used as a signal transmission line, including a first core wire layer and a first insulating layer wrapped outside the first core wire layer, wherein the material of the first core wire layer includes nickel or nickel alloy, and exemplarily, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first core wire layer is 4×0.5mm 2 The material of the first insulating layer includes glass fiber or ceramic fiber, and the insulating layer material ensures that the sensor still has insulating properties at a high temperature of 700° C. Furthermore, the first insulating layers corresponding to the same resistor element have the same color.

[0053] In this embodiment, the core wire layer material of the high temperature resistant wire 3 is nickel or nickel alloy, which can ensure that the lead wire of the thermal resistance element can have good welding performance and low resistance value with the high temperature resistant wire, and can ensure the service life of the temperature sensor. The insulating layer material is glass fiber or ceramic fiber, which can ensure that the temperature sensor still has good insulation performance at high temperature.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the high temperature signal cable 4 includes a second core layer and a second insulating layer wrapped around the second core layer, wherein the material of the second core layer includes silver-plated copper or nickel-plated copper; the material of the second insulating layer includes fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer. A plurality of high temperature signal cables 4 are sequentially wrapped with a shielding layer and a third insulating layer, wherein the shielding layer is formed by braiding metal wires, and the shielding layer at the end of the high temperature signal cable 4 is exposed to form a shielded wire 41; the material of the third insulating layer includes fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer.

[0055] Specifically, the high temperature signal cable 4 is used as a signal transmission line, and from the inside to the outside, it is a second core layer and a second insulation layer. Exemplarily, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second core layer is 4×0.5 mm 2 The second insulation layer uses FEP, which is used to insulate the core wire materials from each other. The second insulation layer uses the same color to represent the leads of the same element, and the number of colors indicates how many thermal resistor elements the sensor has.

[0056] A plurality of high-temperature signal cables 4 are wrapped with a shielding layer and a third insulating layer in sequence. At the connection between the high-temperature signal cable 4 and the high-temperature resistant conductor 3, the shielding layer is exposed to form a shielding wire 41, and the shielding wire 41 exposes the sealed connection end 14, and the sealed connection end 14 is crimped on the shielding wire 41. The setting of the shielding layer and the crimping method of the shielding layer can prevent electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference, so that the temperature sensor has good anti-electromagnetic interference performance and ensures the accuracy and reliability of the sensor signal. A layer of FEP insulating material is laid outside the shielding layer as the third insulating layer. The function of this layer of FEP insulating material is to wrap the core wire, the second insulating layer outside the core wire, and the shielding layer together, so that the temperature sensor maintains the insulation of the outer shell. Even under the condition of water loss accident, it still has good insulation performance and continues to realize its monitoring function. At the same time, this layer of FEP insulating material can ensure that the cable as a whole can withstand a high temperature of 200°C.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the equal-section section 122 of the variable-section sleeve 12 is sleeved with a ferrule 5, and the ferrule 5 is used to connect the interface to be tested.

[0058] Specifically, the function of the ferrule 5 is to match the corresponding temperature measurement interface on the engine, and the position of the ferrule determines the position of the temperature sensor and the interface seal. The ferrule 5 has a G1 / 4A thread, and the G1 / 4A thread and the corresponding interface on the engine are sealed by a gasket. The other end of the ferrule 5 has a cap. By tightening the cap on the ferrule 5, the bead in the ferrule 5 is deformed on the variable cross-section sleeve, and the variable cross-section sleeve is clamped, so that the ferrule 5 and the temperature sensor on the ship engine can be sealed.

[0059] Exemplarily, the distance between the G1 / 4A thread seal of the ferrule 5 and the head welding point is 82 mm.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, in order to facilitate the routing of the temperature sensor in the interface to be tested, a bend 131 is provided on the second section of the metal tube 13 , and the position, angle and length of the bend 131 can be set according to actual installation requirements.

[0061] For example, the second section of the metal tube 13 has a R20 bend at a distance of 123 mm from the sealing weld of the temperature measuring end, and the bend length is 31.4 mm.

[0062] The temperature sensor of this embodiment is manufactured into a temperature sensor for ship engines that meets the requirements according to the required bending position and bending radius after passing the cutting, welding, crimping, positioning, gluing, continuity detection, and insulation detection. The graduation and insulation performance are tested again, and the manufacturing of the temperature sensor for ship engines is completed after passing the test.

[0063] The temperature sensor of this embodiment has an insulation type between the thermal resistor element 2 and the first section of the metal tube 11 at the temperature measuring end. The thermal resistor element has a room temperature insulation performance greater than 100GΩ (measurement voltage 500VDC) and a measurement accuracy of Class A (R 0红-红 =999.752Ω, R 0白-白 =999.998Ω; R 100红-红 =1384.486Ω、R 100白-白 =1384.555Ω), R 100红-红 / R 0红-红 =1.384829, R 100白-白 / R 0白-白 =1.384558, thermal response time is less than τ 0.5红-红 =1.8s, τ 0.5白-白=1.9s.
