[0049] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0050] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are all illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0051] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0052] The embodiment of the present invention provides a constant temperature tank cavity structure, comprising: a stirring chamber 1 and a working chamber 2 which are independent of each other; the upper and lower parts of the stirring chamber 1 and the working chamber 2 are both provided with connecting channels; the connecting channels are both provided with temperature control sensors 12, the temperature control sensors 12 are connected to a controller, and the temperature control sensors 12 are used to detect the temperature field changes in the stirring chamber 1 and transmit them to the controller;

[0053] The top of the working chamber 2 is connected to a sunken flange 3, and a working surface 8 is provided in the sunken flange 3. At least two sensor stations 9 are arranged on the working surface 8; the stirring chamber 1 is provided with a stirring mechanism, a heating coil 6 and a cooling coil 7; the controller is used to control the working status of the stirring mechanism, the heating coil and the cooling coil according to the temperature field changes in the stirring chamber, so that the temperature field in the stirring chamber uniformly maintains the set temperature.

[0054] In this embodiment, the sunken flange 3 is fixed to the top of the working chamber 2 by means of fasteners 11 (such as bolt structures).

[0055] The number of the sensor stations 9 to be inspected can be specifically set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions.

[0056] It should be noted here that the models of temperature control sensors and controllers can be selected according to actual conditions and will not be described in detail here.

[0057] In this embodiment, the sunken flange 3 is a magnetic flange. This avoids manual pressing operations and manual intervention, and improves the on-site calibration efficiency and test accuracy of the temperature rise monitoring system of the running-in test bench. In addition, the high-purity nickel plate working surface with ferromagnetic properties can tightly absorb multiple magnetic surface temperature sensors at the same time, which is particularly suitable for synchronous calibration of multiple sensors.

[0058] In this embodiment, the sensor station 9 is a groove structure, which can stably fix the sensor to be tested, and ultimately improve the accuracy of the calibration data results of the sensor to be tested.

[0059] In this embodiment, the heating coil 6 and the cooling coil 7 are both connected to the refrigerator 43, and the refrigerator 43 is connected to the controller. The heating coil 6 and the cooling coil 7 are arranged on the outside of the stirring mechanism from the inside to the outside. In this way, the temperature is quickly increased by the heating coil, and the cooling coil surrounds the heating coil to ensure that a uniform temperature field is formed in the stirring chamber.

[0060] In this embodiment, the stirring mechanism includes a driving motor 4 and an impeller 5, and the impeller 5 is arranged on the rotating shaft of the driving motor 4. The driving motor 4 is installed outside the stirring chamber 1 and is connected to the impeller 5 inside through the rotating shaft to provide continuous and stable power for it. When the stirring device is started, the rotation of the impeller will cause the liquid medium in the chamber to flow, forming an effective liquid circulation, which not only helps to evenly distribute the temperature, but also promotes the heat transfer process.

[0061] In this embodiment, the working medium in the stirring chamber 1 is heat transfer oil.

[0062] In other embodiments, the working medium in the stirring chamber 1 can be specifically set according to actual conditions, which will not be described in detail here.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, a temperature control sensor plug hole 10 is also provided on the working surface of the sunken flange 3. This is conducive to the arrangement of a temperature control sensor to detect the temperature condition in the working chamber and below the working surface.

[0064] according to Figure 4 The geometric model of the thermostatic tank cavity structure is that the power of the fluid flow inside the thermostatic tank cavity structure comes from the mechanical force provided by the impeller inside the stirring cavity. The heat transfer fluid is set to low-temperature diesel (diesel-liquid), and the constant temperature surface source solid material is set to aluminum. This embodiment uses the standard k-epsilon model. The k-ε model is a widely used turbulence model for simulating various fluid flow conditions. This model includes two main equations: the turbulent kinetic energy equation (k) and the turbulent dissipation rate equation (ε).

[0065] Turbulent Kinetic Energy (k) Equation: The turbulent kinetic energy equation describes the distribution of turbulent kinetic energy in a fluid. Turbulent kinetic energy is a measure of the velocity fluctuations of a fluid and is closely related to the kinetic energy of the fluid.

[0066]

[0067] Where ρ is the fluid density, U is the fluid velocity vector, μ is the molecular viscosity, and μ t is the turbulent viscosity, σ k is the value of the turbulent Prandtl number for k, P k is the turbulent kinetic energy generation term due to the mean velocity gradient, and ε is the dissipation rate of turbulent energy.

[0068] Turbulence dissipation rate (ε) equation: The turbulence dissipation rate equation describes the rate at which turbulent kinetic energy is converted into internal energy (heat energy). The equation can be expressed as:

[0069]

[0070] Where σ ε is the value of the turbulent Prandtl number for ε. 1ε and C 2ε are empirical constants used to adjust the model to match experimental data or theoretical predictions.

[0071] k-epsilon model related parameters:

[0072] ρ=2719(kg / m 3 ),μ=0.0024(kg·m -1 ·s -1 ),C 1ε =1.44,C 2ε =1.92,σ k =1,

[0073] σ ε =1.3

[0074] Figure 5(a) shows the mesh cross-section of the heating cavity after the model is meshed. The default unit size is 2.2228e. -002 m. The fluid domain inside the heat transfer cavity is extracted by extracting the volume, and then meshing is performed. The fluid part inside the online density meter needs to be encrypted to improve the calculation accuracy. The meshing method is multi-region, and the mapped mesh type is triangle.

[0075] Boundary condition settings:

[0076] The goal of the experiment is to observe and record the temperature field distribution inside the thermostat at four different temperature set points of 50℃, 75℃ and 100℃. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to accurately control the initial temperature inside the thermostat to ensure that the system is in the desired starting state at the beginning of the experiment. In addition, in order to simulate and promote the air flow inside, the fan blade speed will be set to 100 (rad / s) in the experiment. This speed is considered to be sufficient to produce the required liquid convection inside the thermostat without causing excessive disturbances to the temperature field. The heat transfer process in the experiment will be constrained by the heat transfer coefficient K = 5 (W / (m2·K)). This heat transfer coefficient defines the heat exchange efficiency between the surface of the thermostat and the air inside it, and is a key parameter in the experiment. For a given heat transfer coefficient, it will be possible to calculate the heat flow between different parts of the box, thereby revealing the specific distribution of the temperature field inside the box at the set operating temperature. For different temperature set points, the experiments will be carried out separately, and each experiment will start from the ambient temperature reset inside the thermostat to ensure the repeatability and comparability of the data. At the same time, at each temperature point, the effects of different initial temperature conditions and fan blade speed changes on the temperature field distribution are compared to evaluate the effects of these factors on the temperature uniformity and stability inside the constant temperature chamber.

[0077] Relying on the platform and data built in the experiment, the temperature heat cloud map of the constant temperature cavity changing with time can be obtained by simulation using fluent software. Assuming that the initial external room temperature is 26 degrees, the cavity temperature is the same as the room temperature in the initial stage, and the heating tube is heated from 26 degrees to 50 degrees. After reaching steady state, its heat cloud map is shown in Figure 6 (a). The liquid medium in the stirring cavity is low-temperature oil, and the fan speed is set to 100 rad / s. According to the three dynamic simulation processes, the iterative curve diagram of the whole process can be obtained as shown in Figure 6 (b).

[0078] The temperature distribution diagram shown in Figure 6(a) shows the static temperature distribution of the constant temperature surface source system under steady-state conditions. The temperature sensor range is between 49.00 degrees and 50.00 degrees, which reflects the high uniformity of heat transfer and temperature control accuracy in the constant temperature surface source system. Under this steady-state condition, the simulation results of the constant temperature surface source system show highly accurate temperature control capabilities. The design of the system ensures effective heat transfer from the heating element to the medium, while ensuring efficient use of thermal energy by minimizing boundary effects. This is particularly important for achieving precise temperature control, especially in applications that require temperature uniformity and stability. The temperature was then heated to 75 degrees and 100 degrees to obtain steady-state thermal cloud maps, as shown in Figure 6(c) and Figure 6(e).

[0079] According to the iteration curves in Figure 6(d) and Figure 6(f), as the number of iterations increases, all calculation parameters tend to be stable. In the figure, continuity indicates the degree of mass conservation, that is, whether the mass flowing into and out of a control volume is balanced. As can be seen from the figure, the continuity residual gradually decreases from the beginning, indicating that the calculation of mass conservation gradually tends to be stable. The velocity residual represents the convergence of the velocity distribution in the flow field. During the iteration process, the velocity residual gradually decreases, indicating that the velocity field gradually tends to be stable. The residual k (turbulent kinetic energy) represents the stability of the solution of the turbulent kinetic energy equation. The residual of k decreases rapidly after the initial iteration and gradually stabilizes, indicating that the distribution of turbulent kinetic energy gradually tends to be stable. ε (turbulent dissipation rate) - The residual of ε reflects the convergence of the turbulent dissipation rate equation. Similar to the k residual, the ε residual also shows a trend of stabilizing after a rapid decrease. Energy - The energy residual refers to the convergence of the energy equation. Due to the setting of initial conditions and boundary conditions, the energy of the system has a rapid adjustment period. After reaching the peak, the energy residual decreases and eventually tends to a steady state, indicating that the energy distribution has reached stability.

[0080] In one or more embodiments, a magnetic surface temperature sensor calibration system is also provided, comprising: a housing, a display module 14 and a constant temperature chamber cavity structure as described above;

[0081] The thermostatic tank cavity structure is arranged in the shell;

[0085] In some other embodiments, the housing is further provided with a handle 18 , a heat dissipation hole 19 and a power switch 20 .
