Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a monitoring device for the wall temperature measurement points on the backfire side of a water-cooled wall to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A monitoring device for the wall temperature measurement points on the backfire side of a water-cooled wall, including a support piece fixedly connected to the backfire side of the water-cooled wall tube. A plug block is fixedly penetrated through the support piece in the front-rear direction. A temperature measurement hole matching the plug block is opened on the backfire side of the water-cooled wall tube. A temperature measurement element is fixedly provided on the rear side wall of the support piece. A shape memory alloy strip is fixedly provided on the plug block. After being heated and restored, the shape memory alloy strip can fit around the inner wall of the water-cooled wall tube.

[0007] Optionally, the front side wall of the plug block is a circular arc structure that fits the inner wall of the water-cooled wall tube. The rear side wall of the bifurcated strip is welded to the front side wall of the plug block. The symmetry center of the two bifurcated strips and the center of the circle of the superior arc strip are on the same straight line.

[0008] Optionally, the maximum distance between the front end of the inferior arc compression strip and the inner wall of the water-cooled wall tube is ≤2 mm. A spindle-shaped space is enclosed between the two inferior arc compression strips.

[0009] Optionally, the thickness of the shape memory alloy strip is 3 mm, and the As temperature of the shape memory alloy strip is 150 °C ± 5 °C.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention is convenient to install, economical and efficient. By using the heat-conducting copper sheet as the heat-conducting element inside the water-cooled wall tube and measuring the temperature of the heat-conducting copper sheet through the temperature measuring element, the temperature distribution on the fire-facing surface of the water-cooled wall tube can be indirectly calculated, providing a basis for evaluating the operation state of the boiler; by covering the heat-conducting copper sheet with the shape memory alloy strip, it is possible to prevent steam from directly contacting the heat-conducting copper sheet and affecting the heat-conducting accuracy, and when the shape memory alloy strip returns to its shape, it can drive the heat-conducting copper sheet to recover and fit the inner wall of the water-cooled wall together, ensuring the accuracy of water-cooled wall temperature measurement; 2. The present invention provides a liquid accumulation space for the shape memory alloy strip through the liquid accumulation cavity, reducing the steam flow rate in the vicinity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0016] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0017] Embodiment: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present invention provides a monitoring device for the wall temperature measurement point on the back fire side of the water-cooled wall, including a supporting piece 2 fixedly connected to the back fire side of the water-cooled wall tube 1. A plug block 3 is fixedly penetrated through the supporting piece 2 in the front-rear direction. A temperature measuring hole 4 matching the plug block 3 is opened on the back fire side of the water-cooled wall tube 1. The front end of the plug block 3 is inserted into the temperature measuring hole 4, and the front side wall of the plug block 3 is a circular arc structure matching the inner wall of the water-cooled wall tube 1. Both the supporting piece 2 and the plug block 3 are made of materials with high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and low thermal conductivity. A temperature measuring element 6 is fixedly provided on the rear side wall of the supporting piece 2, and the temperature measuring element 6 is one of a thermocouple, a thermal resistor, and a thermistor.

[0018] A shape memory alloy strip 5 is fixedly provided on the blocking block 3. After the shape memory alloy strip 5 is heated and restored, it can fit around the inner wall of the water-cooled wall tube 1. A heat-conducting copper sheet 7 is fixedly provided on the outer side wall of the shape memory alloy strip 5 and at the longitudinal center of the shape memory alloy strip 5. Specifically, a groove that matches the heat-conducting copper sheet 7 is formed on the outer side wall of the shape memory alloy strip 5. After the heat-conducting copper sheet 7 is fixed on the shape memory alloy strip 5, the outer side wall of the heat-conducting copper sheet 7 is flush with the outer side wall of the shape memory alloy strip 5. The heat-conducting copper sheet 7 abuts against the detection end of the temperature measuring element 6.

[0019] The shape memory alloy strip 5 includes a heat-transfer strip 501 that fixedly penetrates through the blocking block 3 in the front-rear direction, two bifurcated strips 502 that are integrally formed with the heat-transfer strip 501 and extend from the front side wall of the blocking block 3 to the left and right sides respectively, and a special-shaped strip that is arranged in the water-cooled wall tube 1 and deforms after being heated by steam and fits against the inner wall of the water-cooled wall tube 1. Among them, the special-shaped strip includes a superior arc strip 503 arranged in front of the axis of the water-cooled wall tube 1, two arc transition strips 504 that are integrally formed with the two ends of the superior arc strip 503 respectively, a straight strip 505 that is integrally formed with the arc transition strip 504 and extends in the front-rear direction, and an inferior arc compression strip 506 that is integrally formed with the straight strip 505 and connects the bifurcated strip 502. The convex arc side of the superior arc strip 503 and the concave arc side of the inferior arc compression strip 506 both face the axis of the water-cooled wall tube 1.

[0020] In the present invention, the shape memory alloy strip 5 and the heat-conducting copper sheet 7 are used as heat-conducting elements in the water-cooled wall tube, and the temperature of the heat-conducting copper sheet 7 is measured by the temperature measuring element, so that the temperature distribution on the fire-facing surface of the water-cooled wall tube can be indirectly calculated, providing a basis for evaluating the operation state of the boiler.

[0021] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the rear side wall of the bifurcated strip 502 is welded to the front side wall of the blocking block 3, and the symmetry center of the two bifurcated strips 502 is on the same straight line as the center of the circle of the superior arc strip 503. A first arc transition is provided between the bifurcated strip 502 and the inferior arc compression strip 506, and the central angle corresponding to the first arc transition is 40°-50°. A second arc transition is provided between the straight strip 505 and the inferior arc compression strip 506, and the central angle corresponding to the second arc transition is 130°-150°.

[0022] The maximum distance between the front end of the inferior arc compression strip 506 and the inner wall of the water-cooled wall tube 1 is ≤2 mm, and the front end of the inferior arc compression strip 506 does not contact the water-cooled wall tube 1. The above distance provides space for the deformation of the inferior arc compression strip 506, avoiding friction between the inferior arc compression strip 506 and the water-cooled wall tube 1 during the initial deformation process. A spindle-shaped space is enclosed between the two inferior arc compression strips 506, providing space for synchronously squeezing the two inferior arc compression strips 506 towards each other, facilitating the inferior arc compression strip 506 to pass through the temperature measuring hole 4.

[0023] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the thickness of the shape memory alloy strip 5 is 3 mm, the thickness of the heat-conducting copper sheet 7 is 1 mm, and the width of the heat-conducting copper sheet 7 is 1 / 3 of the width of the special-shaped strip. The As temperature of the shape memory alloy strip 5 is 150°C ± 5°C. Specifically, the shape memory alloy strip is preferably a copper-aluminum-nickel shape memory alloy. Initially, the shape memory alloy strip 5 is heated to a temperature lower than its As temperature. At this time, the shape memory alloy strip 5 is in the Figure 1 state. In this state, with the help of the shape memory alloy strip 5, it can be compressed and deformed, and the shape memory alloy strip 5 can enter the water-cooled wall tube 1 through the temperature measurement hole 4. When the shape memory alloy strip 5 is heated by steam to a temperature above its As temperature, the shape memory alloy strip 5 deforms. Since the length of the two inferior-arc compression strips 506 in the special-shaped strip accounts for the largest proportion, the two inferior-arc compression strips 506 will simultaneously undergo reverse deformation and unfold the superior-arc strip 503 by pulling the straight strip 505, so that finally the special-shaped strip deforms and fits the inner wall of the water-cooled wall tube 1.

[0024] Therefore, when the water-cooled wall tube 1 is operating, the steam in the water-cooled wall tube 1 will heat the shape memory alloy strip 5, causing the shape memory alloy strip 5 to thermally expand. The thermal expansion of the shape memory alloy strip 5 will drive the heat-conducting copper sheet 7 to deform and fit the water-cooled wall tube 1, not only improving the heat transfer efficiency from the fire side to the back fire side of the water-cooled wall tube 1, but also enhancing the stability of the heat-conducting copper sheet 7 fixed on the water-cooled wall tube 1. The heat-conducting copper sheet 7 can directly obtain the heat on the fire side of the water-cooled wall tube 1 and conduct the heat to the back fire side for convenient temperature measurement, while not damaging the tube body on the fire side of the water-cooled wall tube 1 and extending the service life of the water-cooled wall tube 1. It should be noted that before the water-cooled wall tube 1 operates, the boiler water circulation pump needs to be started to form an operation mode of establishing water circulation first and then igniting. When the steam temperature in the water-cooled wall tube 1 is higher than 150°C, that is, higher than the As temperature of the shape memory alloy strip 5, the shape memory alloy strip 5 is heated and deformed into the Figure 4 state. At this time, the outer wall of the heat-conducting copper sheet 7 perfectly fits the inner wall of the water-cooled wall tube 1, and temperature monitoring can be carried out.

[0025] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, a liquid accumulation cavity 507 is provided on the inner wall of the special-shaped strip and at the center in the width direction of the special-shaped strip. The maximum depth of the liquid accumulation cavity 507 is 1.0 - 1.5 mm. The present invention provides a liquid accumulation space for the shape memory alloy strip 5 through the liquid accumulation cavity 507, reducing the steam flow rate nearby, thereby reducing the heat carried away by the steam, making the temperatures of the heat-conducting copper sheet 7 and the shape memory alloy strip 5 closer to the temperature on the fire side of the water-cooled wall, and improving the monitoring accuracy.

[0026] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
