Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of temperature measurement, and in particular to a self-checking remotely controlled temperature measuring device based on a bimetallic strip. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, as ships are frequently used, the safety of ship engine rooms has become a top priority. Since ship engine rooms have many machines, high power and high temperature, it is even more necessary to monitor the temperature closely. Once the temperature is abnormal, it may cause parts failure or even fire, resulting in loss of life and property. Therefore, strict monitoring of ship engine room temperature is crucial to ensure life safety.

[0003] At present, infrared thermal imaging instruments are widely used as temperature measuring instruments in ship cabins. However, such instruments are expensive, especially because the equipment in the cabin is large and numerous, the equipment overlaps highly, and it is impossible to fully observe from any angle. If you want to fully monitor, the number of thermal imaging instruments needs to be doubled, and the cost is too high. This has also led to the current shortage of thermal imagers in most cabins. In addition, in order to improve the cargo and passenger capacity, the cabin space has been compressed to be extremely small, and the size of infrared thermal imaging instruments is relatively large. Some thinner pipes or some narrow places still require staff to hold other small temperature measuring instruments to complete the temperature measurement. However, since the cabin has been kept relatively closed and high temperature for a long time, and most cabins have dangerous sources such as gas cylinders, the risk factor of working in the cabin is extremely high. All kinds of manual operation accidents have occurred frequently, so the construction of remotely controlled unmanned cabins is imminent. In addition, for all kinds of ships, since they spend most of their time on the water, the ship's engine room is not only hot but also very humid. The aging and corrosion of temperature measuring instrument components are very common, which leads to the problem that the measurement accuracy of the temperature measuring instrument is constantly reduced during use, but the degree of error cannot be determined. The instrument can only be judged to be invalid when unreasonable temperature data appears. For some temperature monitoring used to evaluate the operating status of the unit, long-term inaccurate temperature data will seriously affect the evaluation results and cause wrong judgments.

[0004] Based on the above, a temperature measuring device with low cost, small size, remote control and precision self-checking function is urgently needed in the environment such as the cabin. Summary of the invention

[0059] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a self-checking remotely controlled temperature measuring device based on a bimetallic strip, comprising:

[0061] A bimetallic strip device, wherein the bending degree of the bimetallic strip device changes with the change of temperature. When the bending degree of the bimetallic strip device increases, the distance between the middle part of the bimetallic strip device and the ranging module becomes farther, and when the bending degree of the bimetallic strip device decreases, the distance between the upper part of the bimetallic strip device and the ranging module becomes closer; the first metal sheet 1 and the second metal sheet 2 have the same size, the first metal sheet 1 and the second metal sheet 2 have the same size, the expansion coefficient of the first metal sheet 1 is greater than the expansion coefficient of the second metal sheet 2, and the difference between the expansion coefficients of the first metal sheet 1 and the second metal sheet 2 is greater than 10% of the expansion coefficient of the second metal sheet 2.

[0062] The self-test module includes a coil 5, a stainless steel spring 6, a spring 7 and a magnet 8. Two fixed ends 9 of equal height are arranged on both sides of the first metal sheet 1 and the second metal sheet 2 between the first fixture 3 and the second fixture 4. The fixed ends 9 are connected to the spring 7, the coil 5 and the stainless steel spring 6 in sequence toward the bimetallic device side. Magnets 8 with opposite polarities are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the coil 5, respectively.

[0063] In the bimetallic structure, the choice of two metals is not limited. It is recommended that the difference in expansion coefficients can reach more than 10% of the smaller expansion coefficient. The bimetallic strips are of the same size and are tightly connected together by pressing. The second metal strip 2 is placed and fixed on the base facing the ranging module. Do not place the cut surface containing the bimetallic strip facing the ranging module. In order to realize the self-test function, the bimetallic strip is provided with two fixers, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bimetallic strip between the fixtures 1 and 2 is completely fixed, and the bimetallic strip on the fixture 1 is not fixed in other ways and can bend. Before measuring the temperature, the distance and temperature between the bimetallic strip and the ranging module need to be calibrated, that is, under known temperature conditions, the ranging module measures the distance to the middle of the bimetallic strip, and calibrates the distance values ​​corresponding to all temperatures within the required temperature range. It should be noted here that when calibrating the distance, the ranging module and the bimetallic strip need to be fixed on the bottom plate in advance. The thermal bending parameter calculation model of the bimetallic strip fixed in the form of a cantilever arm is:

[0064] Where: f(x) is the bending amount of the metal strip, x is the straight-line distance from the measuring point on the bimetal strip to the second fixture 4, K is the specific bending of the bimetal strip, δ is the thickness of the bimetal strip, and Δt is the temperature difference.

[0065] It is known that when The value is less than or equal to 10 -3 When the temperature difference is of the order of magnitude, the bending amount can be approximately considered to be in a linear relationship, that is, the linear relationship between distance and temperature can be fitted by measuring several points for calibration; when The value is greater than 10 -3 When the temperature difference is in the order of magnitude, the temperature difference and the bending amount are nonlinearly related. To ensure the accuracy of temperature measurement, it is necessary to continuously measure the relationship between the distance and temperature within a certain temperature range for calibration. Then, the corresponding values ​​of the calibrated distance and temperature are input into the single chip microcomputer. It should also be noted that the size of the bimetallic strip in the present invention is not limited and can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0066] The distance measuring module measures the distance to the middle of the bimetallic strip device after receiving the distance measuring signal, and converts the measured distance value into a distance signal and sends it to the single chip microcomputer; the distance measuring module can adopt an infrared distance measuring method, for example, the VL6180x module can be selected, and its measurement range is 5-100mm, and the measurement accuracy is ±3%.

[0067] A self-check module, which detects the current value of the bimetallic device after receiving the self-check signal, and converts the measured current value into a current signal and sends it to the single-chip computer; the self-check module includes a coil 5, a stainless steel spring 6, a spring 7 and a magnet 8, and two fixed ends 9 of equal height are arranged on both sides of the first metal sheet 1 and the second metal sheet 2 between the first fixture 3 and the second fixture 4, and the fixed ends 9 are sequentially connected to the bimetallic device side with a spring 7, a coil 5 and a stainless steel spring 6, and magnets 8 with opposite polarities are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the coil 5. The winding directions of the coils 5 on both sides are opposite, the polarities of the upper magnets 8 on both sides are the same, and the polarities of the lower magnets 8 on both sides are the same.

[0068] The function of the self-test module is to detect the aging degree of the temperature measuring device. The self-test principle in the present invention is based on the principle that metal resistance usually increases with the increase of corrosion degree. The corrosion degree of the bimetallic strip is determined by measuring its resistance. According to the relationship between resistance and current R=U / I, the decrease of current represents the increase of resistance, that is, the corrosion degree is aggravated. Usually, the current of the loop composed of a newly made bimetallic strip and a stainless steel spring is 1. When the current changes by more than 20%, that is, 0.8 of the initial value, it is considered that the corrosion is serious and reaches the warning value, and it is recommended to replace it.

[0069] A display module, the display module includes a display screen, the display module receives a display signal and converts it into a corresponding display control to display information on the display screen; the display module receives a corrosion signal and converts it into corrosion information between 0 and 1 to display on the display screen; the display module receives a temperature signal and converts it into temperature information to display on the display screen;

[0070] Wifi module, the Wifi module receives the temperature measurement signal or the self-test signal sent by the control terminal and sends it to the single-chip microcomputer; the purpose of the Wifi module is to realize the remote control function, and the Wifi module can select ESP8266 to facilitate connection with the single-chip microcomputer.

[0071] A single-chip microcomputer receives a distance signal and converts it into a corresponding temperature signal and sends it to a display module; the single-chip microcomputer module receives a self-test request signal and sends the self-test signal to the self-test module; the single-chip microcomputer receives a current signal and analyzes the degree of corrosion, converts the degree of corrosion into a corrosion signal and sends it to the display module; the single-chip microcomputer module receives a temperature measurement request signal and sends a distance measurement signal to the distance measurement module.

[0072] The temperature measuring method of the temperature measuring device comprises the following steps:

[0073] Temperature calibration: Measure the distance between the distance measuring module and the middle of the bimetallic strip device at different known temperatures, and calibrate the distance values ​​corresponding to all temperatures within the required temperature range to obtain the calibrated distance-temperature corresponding values. The value is less than or equal to 10 -3 When the temperature is of the order of magnitude, calibration is performed by measuring several points and then fitting the linear relationship between distance and temperature. The value is greater than 10 -3 When the distance and temperature are in the order of magnitude, the corresponding values ​​of the distance and temperature within a certain temperature range are continuously measured for calibration. Here, K is the specific bending of the bimetallic strip, x is the straight-line distance between the distance measurement point on the bimetallic strip and the second fixture 4, δ is the thickness of the bimetallic strip, and Δt is the temperature difference.
