DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0042] Reference Figure 1-3 A method for repairing an armored thermocouple for measuring temperature of a steam turbine cylinder of a thermal power unit comprises the following steps:

[0043] S1: Clean the exposed thermocouple wire;

[0044] S2: Use 300 to 500 grit sandpaper to sand the surface of the thermocouple wire;

[0045] S3: Disperse the polished thermocouple wires;

[0046] S4: Fill and coat the thermocouple wire;

[0047] S5: Use glass ribbon to wrap and fix the thermocouple wire after the coating treatment;

[0048] S6: Use a thin aluminum plate to cover the repaired part until the thermocouple wire works normally;

[0049] Specifically, when polishing the surface of the thermocouple wire, it is necessary to polish the surface of the thermocouple wire until the metallic luster is exposed. This operation is used to further clean the oxide layer, metal impurities and attachments on the surface of the thermocouple wire, thereby improving the adhesion of the surface of the thermocouple wire;

[0050] When dispersing thermocouple wires, it is necessary to keep the wire cores insulated from each other, and to place the thermocouple wires in a suitable position so that the thermocouple wires are insulated from the ground at the same time.

[0051] like Figure 2 , cleaning exposed thermocouple wire includes the following steps:

[0052] S101: Cut off the exploded thermocouple armor;

[0053] S102: Stripping magnesium oxide attached to the thermocouple wire;

[0054] S103: Separate the short-circuited thermocouple wire.

[0055] like Figure 3 , the filling and coating of thermocouple wire includes the following steps:

[0056] S201: Mix the high temperature resistant insulation and corrosion resistant coating and curing agent in a ratio of 9:1;

[0057] S202: Let the prepared mixed solution stand for 5 minutes;

[0058] S203: Use a coating device to brush the surface and gaps of the thermocouple wire;

[0059] S204: Use a protective cover to cover the painted thermocouple wire area for 24 hours;

[0060] S205: Use a coating device to repeatedly coat the surface and gaps of the thermocouple wire;

[0061] S206: Use a megohmmeter to remotely measure the working parameters of the thermocouple wire after drying;

[0062] Specifically, the high temperature resistant insulating and corrosion resistant coating adopts high temperature resistant ceramic insulating coating;

[0063] The insulation coefficient of the thermocouple wire is remotely measured by the megohmmeter. When the insulation coefficient of the thermocouple wire meets the normal working parameters, the repair of the thermocouple wire basically meets the normal working requirements, that is, the repair work of the armored thermocouple is completed.

[0064] like Figure 4-8The coating device includes a bracket 1, a non-slip handle 2 is fixedly installed at the middle of the top of the bracket 1, a second transmission connecting rod 11 is fixedly installed between the two ends of the inner wall of the bracket 1, and a fourth transmission gear 12 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second transmission connecting rod 11. A first transmission connecting rod 6 is rotatably connected between the two ends of the inner wall of the bracket 1 through a bearing, and a coating roller 5 and a first transmission gear 7 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first transmission connecting rod 6. A packing cavity 4 is also fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the bracket 1, and a dust cover 3 is fixedly installed on the side of the packing cavity 4. The inner wall of the packing cavity 4 is also movably limited by a sleeve A limit bearing 8 is fixedly connected to the limit bearing 8 with a second transmission gear 9, a second transmission connecting rod 11 passes through the center of the limit bearing 8, and a bearing is provided at the contact portion between the limit bearing 8 and the second transmission connecting rod 11. The interior of the limit bearing 8 is also rotatably connected through bearings to multiple groups of third transmission connecting rods 13 distributed around the second transmission connecting rod 11, the second transmission connecting rod 11 extends to one end of the inner side of the filling chamber 4 and a driving frame 14 is movably sleeved on the outer wall, the third transmission connecting rod 13 passes through the driving frame 14, and a bearing is also provided at the contact portion between the third transmission connecting rod 13 and the driving frame 14.

[0065] like Figure 8 The top end of the driving frame 14 is designed to be arc-shaped to match the inner wall of the filling cavity 4 , and the top end of the driving frame 14 fits the inner wall of the filling cavity 4 .

[0066] like Figure 5 An inner gear ring is provided on the inner wall of the second transmission gear 9, and a third transmission gear 10 is fixedly installed on one end of the third transmission connecting rod 13 extending to the inner side of the second transmission gear 9, the first transmission gear 7 is meshed with the outer teeth of the second transmission gear 9, the inner gear ring of the second transmission gear 9 is meshed with the third transmission gear 10, and the third transmission gear 10 is meshed with the fourth transmission gear 12.

[0067] like Figure 8 One end of the driving frame 14 is in contact with the inner wall of the filling chamber 4, and the other end of the driving frame 14 is in contact with the outer wall of the second transmission connecting rod 11. The middle part of the driving frame 14 where the third transmission connecting rod 13 is designed is hollowed out.

[0068] like Figure 8 , the outer wall of the third transmission connecting rod 13 is fixedly mounted with stirring blades 15, and the number of blades of the stirring blades 15 mounted on the outer wall of each group of the third transmission connecting rod 13 is different;

[0069] Specifically, the stirring blade 15 with fewer blades can have an efficient crushing and mixing effect on large particle precipitation or lumps in the mixed liquid, while the stirring blade 15 with more blades can have a better mixing and crushing effect on small particle lumps and precipitation in the mixed liquid than the stirring blade 15 with fewer blades. Through multiple groups of stirring blades 15 with different numbers of blades, the lumps and precipitation in the mixed liquid can be efficiently crushed and mixed during the circulation process, and the mixed liquid can be fully stirred, thereby ensuring the working efficiency of the mixed liquid.

[0070] In the present invention, when the coating device is used to brush the thermocouple wire, the thermocouple wire is first placed on the protective pad, and then the prepared solution is poured into the inner cavity of the filling cavity 4 through the opening at the top of the filling cavity 4, and the non-slip handle 2 is further held, and the bottom of the coating roller 5 is attached to the place where the thermocouple wire needs to be brushed, and the coating roller 5 is further pulled by the non-slip handle 2 to move along the surface of the thermocouple wire. Through the rotation of the coating roller 5, the mixed liquid inside the filling cavity 4 is driven to adhere to the surface of the coating roller 5 through the opening at the bottom of the filling cavity 4. Then, the surface and gaps of the thermocouple wire are evenly coated by rotating the coating roller 5; at the same time, the first transmission gear 7 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the coating roller 5, and then the second transmission gear 9 and the limit bearing 8 are driven to rotate, and the limit bearing 8 drives the drive frame 14 to rotate around the second transmission connecting rod 11, and at the same time, the third transmission connecting rod 13 rotates around the second transmission connecting rod 11, and the third transmission gear 9 is driven to rotate around the third transmission gear 10 through the meshing of the second transmission gear 9 and the third transmission gear 10, and the meshing of the third transmission gear 10 and the fourth transmission gear 12. 10 rotates around the fourth transmission gear 12 while the third transmission gear 10 also keeps rotating, that is, driving the stirring blades 15 to rotate, and the mixed liquid attached to the inner wall of the filling chamber 4 is scraped by the rotation of the driving frame 14 to prevent the mixed liquid from adhering to the inner wall of the filling chamber 4. At the same time, with the rotation of the driving frame 14 and the stirring blades 15, the mixed liquid in the inner cavity of the filling chamber 4 can be stirred. At the same time, the number of blades of each group of stirring blades 15 is different. Among them, the stirring blades 15 with fewer blades can have an efficient crushing and mixing effect on large particle precipitation or agglomeration in the mixed liquid, and the stirring blades 15 with more blades can have a better mixing and crushing effect on small particle agglomeration and precipitation in the mixed liquid than the stirring blades 15 with fewer blades. Through multiple groups of stirring blades 15 with different numbers of blades, the agglomeration and precipitation in the mixed liquid can be efficiently crushed and mixed, the fluidity and miscibility of the mixed liquid can be effectively maintained, the mixed liquid can be prevented from precipitation, and the waste of the mixed liquid is avoided while ensuring the working state of the mixed liquid and the utilization efficiency of the mixed liquid.
