Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermocouple manufacturing technology, and more particularly to a counter-assembly device for thermocouple manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] Thermocouples are commonly used temperature-sensing elements in temperature measuring instruments. They directly measure temperature and convert the temperature signal into a thermoelectric potential signal, which is then converted into the temperature of the measured medium by electrical instruments. Thermocouples are sensors specifically designed to monitor the thermal energy inside high-temperature equipment. Due to their high safety, thermocouples are widely used in special applications such as petroleum refining and chemical reactors. Thermocouples also have advantages such as simple structure, ease of manufacturing, wide measurement range, high accuracy, low inertia, and easy long-distance transmission of output signals.

[0003] In existing thermocouple production and assembly processes, manual operation combined with auxiliary mechanisms is typically employed. First, the installation location of the thermocouple is determined, generally choosing a spot that accurately reflects temperature changes. Then, the thermocouple head is inserted into the connecting terminal. Because an extension cable is required for the connection, and this extension cable lacks an effective traction mechanism, it tends to wobble and become tangled. This leads to poor contact and misalignment during connector assembly, reducing overall assembly efficiency and degrading thermocouple quality. Therefore, we propose a counter-assembly equipment and method for thermocouple production to address the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

The synchronous rotator 204 drives the rotating column 203 to drive the balance plate 202 to rotate, forming an adaptation and adjusting the cable tension.

[0043] When the thermocouple conductor cable moves through the traction component 4, the first driver 304 drives the second rotating shaft 307 to rotate and adjust the swing frame 303 and the straight frame 302. The control motor 305 drives the first rotating shaft 306 to rotate the grinding disc 301 to grind the end of the thermocouple conductor cable. The debris gradually enters the waste box 104 through the waste channel 103.

[0044] As the traction component 4 is adjusted to match the guide component 8, the third telescopic cylinder 802 drives the second telescopic push rod 801 to lift and lower the guide frame 803. The fifth driver 804 drives the guide frame 803 to rotate along the rotating sleeve. The fourth telescopic cylinder 810 drives the third telescopic push rod 809 to press and adjust the first pressure plate 805 towards the second pressure plate 806. The thermocouple conductor cable is conveyed and clamped by the conveying roller 807 and enters the assembly component 6.

[0045] As the cable enters the assembly hole 609 on the assembly component 6, the fourth driver 603 drives the fourth rotating shaft 602 to swing the sleeve 604. The second telescopic cylinder 607 drives the first telescopic push rod 608 to press the first sleeve plate 605 against the second sleeve plate 606. The corresponding positioning structure is installed using the adapter hole 610. The third driver 507 drives the linkage module 506 to open and close the gripper 505 to grab. The second driver 502 drives the steering rod 503 to rotate the fixed rod 504. The components on the placement rack 902 and the sleeve column 110 are grabbed in sequence. The vision monitor 703 monitors in real time. When a problem occurs, it feeds back to the electrical signal device, which makes the indicator light 701 flash. When the waste bin 104 is full, the spoke-type pressure sensor feeds back to the flashing light 106. The valve plate 105 is opened by the handle 108 to release the material.

[0046] The present invention provides a counter-assembly device for thermocouple production, which improves the overall assembly controllability, increases thermocouple assembly efficiency, and ensures thermocouple quality through the cooperation between various components.
