[0002] During operation, power station boiler thermocouples are prone to high-temperature corrosion, contamination and slagging, flow rate wear and other problems, resulting in poor reliability and stability of thermocouple temperature measurement, and the service life is significantly lower than the design life.

[0003] In order to solve the problem of high-temperature corrosion of thermocouples, the currently published thermocouple protection sleeves generally use tungsten-cobalt alloys, stainless steel, aluminum oxide and other materials to improve the protection performance of thermocouples. For example: In the patent "High-temperature and corrosion-resistant thermocouple protection sleeve and its production method" (CN202211217356.1), for the coal-powder furnace environment, a multi-alloy element configuration and corresponding smelting, casting, and heat treatment processes are used to obtain a wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant thermocouple protection sleeve. However, its corrosion resistance is poor, and there is coking and slagging, which leads to a short life in a high-temperature corrosive environment and poor temperature measurement stability. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem solved by the present application is: how to provide a high temperature corrosion resistant and anti-coking protective structure for power station boiler thermocouples and a preparation method thereof.

[0005] The present application provides a protective structure for a thermocouple of a power station boiler, the protective structure comprising a thermocouple sleeve and a protective coating, the protective coating is coated on the thermocouple sleeve, and the protective coating comprises alternately stacked ceramic filler layers and mica sheet layers.

[0016] Optionally, the preparation method further comprises:

[0017] A ceramic filler layer is made on the outermost mica sheet layer.

After peeling off, the second outermost ceramic filler layer will continue to play a protective role. Repeat the above cycle, peel off layer by layer, until all coatings fail. Its effective protective life is at least 3 times that of ordinary coatings.

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0031] Before describing the various embodiments of the present application in detail, the technical concept of the present application is first briefly described: the thermocouple protection sleeves currently used in power station boilers have problems such as poor corrosion resistance and coking and slagging. For this reason, the present application provides a protective structure for power station boiler thermocouples and a preparation method thereof. A protective coating is coated on the outside of the thermocouple sleeve. The protective coating includes alternating stacked ceramic filler layers and mica sheets. On the one hand, the strong corrosion resistance of the ceramic filler layers and the mica sheets is utilized. On the other hand, the weak bonding force between the ceramic filler layers and the mica sheets is utilized. When coking blocks are formed in the ceramic filler layers, especially when the coking blocks are large, they will fall off with the mica sheets, and the remaining coatings will continue to provide protection until all coatings fail, thereby avoiding coking and extending the service life. The specific principles of the protective structure for power station boiler thermocouples of the present application are described below in conjunction with more embodiments.

[0032] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective structure for a thermocouple of a power plant boiler in the first embodiment includes a thermocouple sleeve 10 and a protective coating 20 . The protective coating 20 is coated on the thermocouple sleeve 10 . The protective coating 20 includes ceramic filler layers 21 and mica sheets 22 that are alternately stacked.

[0033] In one or more embodiments, the innermost layer and the outermost layer of the protective coating 20 are both ceramic filler layers 21. Exemplarily, the protective coating 20 includes at least three layers of ceramic filler layers 21 and at least two layers of mica sheets 22. When the outermost ceramic filler layer 21 produces a large block of coking, it drives the outermost ceramic filler layer 21 and the adjacent mica sheets 22 to fall off together, and the remaining coating continues to protect and fall off layer by layer. When the innermost ceramic filler layer 21 remains, it can continue to protect the thermocouple sleeve 10 for a period of time, so as to avoid the thermocouple sleeve 10 being immediately exposed to the environment and damaged when all the mica sheets 22 fall off, and provide a buffer time for replacing the thermocouple.

[0034] Exemplarily, the power plant boiler thermocouple includes the above-mentioned protective structure, the junction box 100 and the temperature measuring end 200, the junction box 100 and the temperature measuring end 200 are respectively located at the two ends of the thermocouple sleeve 10, and the junction box 100 and the temperature measuring end 200 are directly connected through a connection penetrated inside the thermocouple sleeve 10, so that the electrical signal generated by the temperature measuring end 200 during the measurement process can be transmitted to the junction box 100, and the thermocouple sleeve 10 can prevent the wiring from being damaged.

[0035] In one or more embodiments, a method for preparing a protective structure for a power station boiler thermocouple comprises the following steps:

[0036] Step S10, performing surface treatment on the thermocouple sleeve 10;

[0037] Step S20 , alternately forming ceramic filler layers 21 and mica sheet layers 22 on the outer side of the thermocouple sleeve 10 to form a protective coating 20 .

[0038] Exemplarily, the method for surface treatment of the thermocouple sleeve 10 includes sandblasting the thermocouple sleeve to remove the surface oxide layer and dirt, reveal the metallic luster, and achieve a surface roughness of 10-35 μm to obtain the surface treated thermocouple sleeve 10. It should be noted that the protective coating 20 should be made as soon as possible after the surface treatment, and the longest interval should not exceed 4 hours.

[0039] In one or more embodiments, the method of alternately making ceramic filler layers and mica sheet layers on the outside of the thermocouple sleeve includes: using a refractory fiber cloth impregnated with ceramic fillers to cover the outside of the thermocouple sleeve 10, and then adhering mica sheet powder to the outside of the refractory fiber cloth, drying and curing to form a ceramic filler layer 21 and a mica sheet layer 22; repeating the above process at least once to form a protective coating 20. Then, a ceramic filler layer 21 is made on the outermost mica sheet layer 22. The thickness of the mica sheet is 100μm to 300μm, the thickness of the protective coating 20 is 600-1200μm, the porosity is 1%-3%, the bonding strength is 15-45Mpa, and the high temperature corrosion resistance performance index is 0.126-0.327mg / mm 2 Among them, the heating rate is ≤5℃ / h, the insulation temperature is between 90℃ and 120℃, and the insulation time is ≥2h.
