Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline wind speed detection technology, specifically a retractable directional hot-ball wind speed sensor. Background Technology

[0002] In wind speed testing scenarios such as duct wind speed testing, ventilation equipment vents, and ambient wind speed testing, wind speed sensors often need to be able to extend and retract freely to adapt to different testing conditions. When not in use, they should be able to shrink and shorten for easy portability. For example, for ducts of different diameters, if it is desired to test the wind speed at different locations on their cross-sections, a rod-mounted wind speed sensor with a certain amount of extension and retraction is required. At the same time, in order to facilitate direct reading of the depth inserted into the duct, an accurate scale needs to be designed on the wind speed rod. Furthermore, when the sensor rod extends and retracts, the sensor lead wires need to move synchronously to ensure the safety of the nodes.

[0003] In addition, wind fields fluctuate greatly and change frequently in most scenarios, so wind speed sensors need to have a very high response to meet the testing requirements. A high-response wind speed probe needs to be as small as possible to reduce its thermal inertia and improve its response speed. The biggest problem with small-sized wind speed probes is that they are easily damaged, so a protective structure that can be operated quickly is required.

[0004] This invention provides a freely expandable directional wind speed structure, which solves problems related to the expandable structure, readable length, quick-operation protection, and accurate positioning of the wind sensor probe in miniature directional hot-ball anemometers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention discloses a stretchable directional hot-ball anemometer to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a retractable directional hot-wire anemometer, comprising;

[0009] The grip and the telescopic rod that is flexibly inserted inside the grip;

[0010] An inner tube is fixedly installed at the front end of the telescopic rod, an insulating base is installed inside the inner tube, a welding needle is fixedly inserted inside the insulating base, a wind speed probe is installed at the front end of the welding needle, and a probe circuit board is fixedly connected to the end of the insulating base.

[0011] A protective sleeve is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the inner tube, and ventilation grooves are provided on the front outer surfaces of both the protective sleeve and the inner tube.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing head is fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic rod, a rotating seat is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixing head, and the inner tube is fixedly connected to the rotating seat.

[0013] Preferably, the outer surface of the fixing head is provided with a locking post, the bottom of the locking post is provided with a memory spring, the front end of the handle is fixedly connected to a fixing ring, the outer surface of the fixing ring is provided with a locking groove, and the locking post is movably engaged in the inside of the locking groove.

[0014] Preferably, a positioning block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating seat, a positioning groove is formed on the outer surface of the protective sleeve, the positioning block is slidably connected inside the positioning groove, and a vertical heat dissipation groove is formed on the outer surface of the protective sleeve.

[0015] Preferably, the end of the grip is threaded with a sealing head, and the outer surface of the telescopic rod is provided with a scale groove.

[0016] Preferably, the telescopic rod is formed by movably inserting multiple hollow tubes of different diameters. A limiting groove is opened inside the hollow tube. An anti-detachment baffle is fixedly connected to the end of the hollow tube. The anti-detachment baffle is slidably connected inside the limiting groove. An anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the side of the anti-detachment baffle.

[0017] Preferably, a pressure block is fixedly connected to the top of the card post, and a movable groove is opened at the front end of the card slot, with the pressure block slidably connected inside the movable groove.

[0018] This invention discloses a retractable directional hot-wire anemometer, which has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. This retractable directional hot-wire anemometer sensor rotates the protective sleeve, causing the positioning block to rotate inside the positioning groove. At this time, the ventilation groove on the outer surface of the protective sleeve and the inner tube are aligned, exposing the anemometer probe. Then, the protective sleeve is placed inside the pipe, with the ventilation groove facing the airflow direction, allowing the airflow to pass through the ventilation groove for wind speed detection. The micro-sized anemometer probe is welded and fixed using a welding pin and insulating material structure, ensuring the precise position of the anemometer probe at the sensor's air inlet, guaranteeing testing accuracy and product consistency. The use of a concentric sliding sleeve makes operation and storage convenient and effectively protects the anemometer probe.

[0020] 2. This telescopic directional hot-wire anemometer allows for length adjustment by stretching the telescopic rod during use. The rod's interior is secured by an anti-slip baffle that slides within a limiting groove, preventing misalignment of the scale due to rotation. Furthermore, the anti-slip pad prevents the telescopic rod from slipping during use, facilitating its insertion into pipes.

[0021] 3. This retractable directional hot-wire anemometer compresses the memory spring by pressing down the pressure block on the outer surface of the fixed head. Then, the fixed head is moved closer to the handle and inserted into the handle. At the same time, the pressure block slides along the movable groove into the slot. When the pressure block is released, the locking post moves upward and engages with the slot under the action of the memory spring, making the device easy to store and carry.
