[0035] The first aspect of this application discloses a temperature measuring device for a lime kiln, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a protective tube 1, a first temperature measuring element, and a second temperature measuring element. The protective tube 1 has a protective cavity with one open end. The first part of the protective tube 1 is installed inside the spray gun pipe 3 of the lime kiln, and the second part of the protective tube 1 extends out of the spray gun pipe 3 and is located in the combustion zone of the lime kiln. The first temperature measuring element extends into the protective cavity through the opening, with its measuring end aligned with the nozzle of the spray gun pipe 3. The second temperature measuring element extends into the protective cavity through the opening, with its measuring end aligned with the combustion zone.
[0036] In this embodiment, the temperature measuring device includes a protective tube 1, a first temperature measuring element, and a second temperature measuring element. The protective tube 1 has a protective cavity with one end open. The first and second temperature measuring elements extend into the protective cavity through the opening, respectively. The protective tube 1 provides physical protection for the first and second temperature measuring elements, preventing dust inside the lime kiln from directly contacting them under high temperature and high pressure conditions, thus preventing direct corrosion of the first and second temperature measuring elements and extending their service life. Optionally, the first temperature measuring element is a first thermocouple, and the second temperature measuring element is a second thermocouple.
[0037] A portion of the protective tube 1 is installed inside the spray gun pipe 3 of the lime kiln, while the other portion extends out of the spray gun pipe 3. This portion of the protective tube 1 is located within the combustion zone of the lime kiln, unlike the exposed portion of the spray gun pipe 3. When the first and second temperature measuring elements are installed inside the protective tube 1, the measuring end of the first temperature measuring element is positioned corresponding to the nozzle of the spray gun pipe 3 to measure the temperature at the nozzle, thus determining whether the spray gun has burned out. The measuring end of the second temperature measuring element is positioned at the combustion zone, extending into the fuel combustion area below the nozzle to monitor the combustion temperature in real time. The first and second temperature measuring elements work together to enable online real-time monitoring of the temperatures at the nozzle and combustion zone, thus meeting the measurement needs of various temperature parameters.
[0038] It should be noted that related technologies often use indirect process estimation based on the temperature at the nozzle of the spray gun to calculate the temperature of the combustion zone. This method is easily affected by air distribution and airflow disturbances, resulting in a large error in the calculated temperature of the combustion zone. In this application, the temperature of the combustion zone is directly measured online by a second temperature measuring element located inside the protective tube 1, eliminating the need for estimation and achieving higher accuracy.
[0039] This application uses a protective tube 1 to physically protect the first and second temperature measuring elements, avoiding direct corrosion of the temperature measuring elements by high-temperature combustion dust and high pressure. At the same time, it controls the temperature measuring ends of the first and second temperature measuring elements to be in different positions, realizing dual detection of the spray gun temperature and combustion temperature, and meeting the needs of multiple types of temperature detection.
[0040] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective tube 1 includes a first protective tube 11 and a second protective tube 12. The first protective tube 11 is installed inside the spray gun tube 3, and the first temperature measuring element is located inside the first protective tube 11. The second protective tube 12 is detachably connected to the first protective tube 11 and is exposed relative to the spray gun tube 3. The temperature measuring end of the second temperature measuring element passes through the first protective tube 11 and extends into the second protective tube 12.
[0041] In this embodiment, the protective tube 1 includes a first protective tube 11 and a second protective tube 12. The first protective tube 11 is installed inside the spray gun tube 3, and the first temperature measuring element is located inside the first protective tube 11. The lower end of the first protective tube 11 is at the same plane height as the spray gun nozzle of the spray gun tube 3, so that the first temperature measuring element located inside the first protective tube 11 can monitor the temperature at the spray gun nozzle online in real time.
[0042] One aspect is that, considering the different service environments of the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12, the second protective tube 12 is detachably connected to the first protective tube 11, allowing for targeted design based on their respective service environments. This also facilitates maintenance and replacement.
[0043] Specifically, the second protective tube 12 is exposed relative to the spray gun tube 3, and the temperature measuring end of the second temperature measuring element passes through the first protective tube 11 and extends into the second protective tube 12.
[0044] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first protective pipe 11 is a bent pipe, which includes a horizontal section, an arc section and a vertical section connected in sequence, and the vertical section is connected to the second protective pipe 12.
[0045] In this embodiment, the first protective tube 11 is a bent tube, and its shape is adapted to the shape of the spray gun tube 3 for easy installation. Specifically, the bent tube includes a horizontal section, an arc section, and a vertical section arranged in sequence. The arc section facilitates the insertion of the first and second temperature measuring elements into the target position, and its large curvature ensures smoothness. This allows maintenance personnel outside the kiln to easily and quickly pull out and insert the thermocouple wire, greatly reducing manual labor intensity.
[0046] Specifically, the length of the first protective tube 11 is 3400 mm. The first protective tube 11 is shaped like a "7" and has a diameter of [missing information]. The arc of the arc segment is R: 400mm, and the arc length is l: 628mm.
[0047] In one possible implementation, the end of the second protective tube 12 that is away from the first protective tube 11 is a closed end.
[0048] In this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the end of the second protective tube 12 that is away from the first protective tube 11 is a closed end. When the second protective tube 12 is inserted into the stone in the combustion zone, it can prevent the stone from contaminating the second temperature measuring element located inside the second protective tube 12.
[0049] In one possible implementation, the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12 are threaded together.
[0050] In this embodiment, one of the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12 is provided with internal threads, and the other of the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12 is provided with external threads, so that the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12 can be connected by threaded connection for quick assembly and disassembly.
[0051] Preferably, the lower end of the first protective tube 11 is provided with an external thread, and the upper end of the second protective tube 12 is provided with an internal thread.
[0052] In one possible implementation, the wall of the first protective tube 11 is larger than the wall of the second protective tube 12.
[0053] In this embodiment, the wall of the first protective tube 11 is larger than the wall of the second protective tube 12. The first protective tube 11 is used to be installed inside the spray gun tube 3. In order to ensure the positional stability of the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12, the wall of the first protective tube 11 is made thicker, so as to ensure the connection strength between it and the spray gun tube 3 and the kiln shell 2.
[0054] Preferably, the wall thickness of the first protective tube 11 is 8 mm, and the wall thickness of the second protective tube 12 is 5 mm.
[0055] In one possible implementation, the first protective tube 11 comprises a steel pipe.
[0056] In one possible implementation, the second protective tube 12 comprises a ceramic tube.
[0057] In one possible implementation, the steel pipe is a stainless steel pipe.
[0058] In one possible implementation, the ceramic tube is a recrystallized silicon carbide tube.
[0059] In this embodiment, since the service environments of the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12 are not exactly the same, by designing the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12 to be made of different materials, it is possible to better adapt to the corresponding service environments and at the same time better control costs.
[0060] Specifically, the second protective tube 12 is a recrystallized silicon carbide tube, which can effectively avoid oxidation, catalysis, and dust accumulation on the outer wall in the service environment of high temperature and frequent cold blowing. While avoiding damage to the second protective tube 12, it can also ensure the temperature measurement accuracy of the internal second temperature measuring element.
[0061] Specifically, the stainless steel pipe is made of 0Cr25Ni20, which can effectively withstand the longitudinal erosion and compression of stone. The ceramic pipe possesses high strength, wear resistance, high thermal conductivity, and excellent thermal shock resistance, making it well-suited to and able to withstand the impact, erosion, and compression of high-temperature airflow and stone, with minimal temperature detection error. The performance parameters of the ceramic pipe are shown in the table below:

[0064] Specifically, the length of the second protective pipe 12 is 580mm-780mm, and the pipe diameter is...
[0065] The second aspect of this application discloses a lime kiln, including a kiln shell 2, a spray gun pipe 3, and a temperature measuring device. The kiln shell 2 has a combustion chamber and a mounting hole communicating with the combustion chamber. The spray gun pipe 3 is fitted onto the kiln shell 2 through the mounting hole, and at least a portion of the spray gun pipe 3 extends into the kiln shell 2. A protective tube 1 from the temperature measuring device is optionally fitted into the spray gun pipe 3.
[0066] In this embodiment, the lime kiln includes a kiln shell 2, a spray gun pipe 3, and a temperature measuring device. The kiln shell 2 has a combustion chamber and a mounting hole communicating with the combustion chamber. The spray gun pipe 3 is mounted on the kiln shell 2 through the mounting hole. There are multiple spray gun pipes 3. One temperature measuring device is selectively mounted in one spray gun pipe 3.
[0067] Specifically, the installation methods of the temperature measuring device in the lime kiln include:
[0068] (1) Connect the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12 together through the internal and external threads. Insert the assembled protective tube 1 into the kiln shell 2 through the mounting hole along the guide rail on the spray gun tube 3.
[0069] (2) Technicians enter the kiln shell 2 to inspect and adjust the protective tube 1 so that the second protective tube 12 in the protective tube 1 can be set vertically, and the connection 13 of the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12 is flush with the nozzle of the spray gun tube 3, that is, it is located on the same horizontal plane.
[0070] (3) Outside the kiln shell 2, the technician inserts the first temperature measuring element and the second temperature measuring element into the protective tube 1 at the same time. The insertion depth of the first temperature measuring element is the same as the length of the first protective tube 11, that is, the temperature measuring end of the first temperature measuring element is located at the connection 13 of the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12. The second temperature measuring element is inserted to the bottom end of the second protective tube 12.
[0071] (4) After the first and second temperature measuring elements are inserted into place, the corresponding seals can be tightened to stabilize the position of the protective tube 1, the first temperature measuring element and the second temperature measuring element, and to ensure that there is no air leakage.
[0072] Specifically, when the first or second temperature sensor is burned out, resulting in a malfunction in the spray gun temperature or combustion temperature detection, it can be disassembled in the following ways:
[0073] (1) Control the lime kiln to be in a heat storage state by opening the corresponding sealing parts;
[0074] (2) Pull out the damaged first or second temperature measuring element and insert the newly replaced temperature measuring element;
[0075] (3) Determine the insertion depth of the newly replaced temperature measuring element based on the lengths of the first protective tube 11 and the second protective tube 12;
[0076] (4) After the newly replaced temperature measuring element is inserted into place, the corresponding seal can be tightened to stabilize the position of the protective tube 1, the first temperature measuring element and the second temperature measuring element, and to ensure that there is no air leakage.

The lime kiln also includes an optical pyrometer 4, which is located at the connection between the two combustion sub-chambers.
[0078] In this embodiment, the lime kiln is a double-chamber lime kiln, and the combustion chamber includes two interconnected combustion sub-chambers. Each combustion sub-chamber is equipped with multiple corresponding spray nozzles 3 and a temperature measuring device. The lime kiln also includes an optical pyrometer 4, which is located at the connection between the two combustion sub-chambers. The temperature at different locations inside the lime kiln can be detected through the first temperature measuring element, the second temperature measuring element, and the optical pyrometer 4, thereby facilitating the control of thermal parameters.
