Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermocouple detection, in particular to a detection device for thermocouple production. Background Art

[0002] Thermocouples are commonly used temperature measuring elements in temperature measuring instruments. They directly measure temperature and convert temperature signals into thermoelectric potential signals, which are then converted into the temperature of the medium being measured through electrical instruments (secondary instruments). The appearance of various thermocouples is often very different due to needs, but their basic structure is roughly the same. They are usually composed of main parts such as hot electrodes, insulating sleeve protection tubes and junction boxes. In addition, thermocouples are generally connected to the object being measured through flanges set on them. Thermocouples need to be calibrated regularly after factory inspection or after being used for a period of time to ensure the accuracy of the measurement.

[0003] A Chinese patent with the publication (announcement) number CN217687600U discloses a thermocouple calibration fixture. It includes a detection furnace body and a fixing assembly. The fixing assembly is arranged on the side of the detection furnace body with a detection hole, and an array is evenly arranged around the detection hole. The fixing assembly includes a fixing block, a limit block, a guide column and a spring. The fixing block is arranged on the side of the detection furnace body, and the limit block and the fixed block are connected by a guide column. The spring is sleeved on the guide column, and its two ends are respectively abutted against the limit block and the fixed block. The limit block can be compressed along the axis of the guide column toward the direction of the fixed block. It compresses the spring through the limit block, and the spring will provide a reaction force to the limit block, so that the limit block presses the thermocouple in the detection hole, so that there is no gap between the thermocouples; when the thermocouple is heated, the position will not move, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0004] The thermocouple calibration fixture involved in the above patent still has some obvious shortcomings in actual use. In the device, the thermocouple in the detection hole is pressed by a limit block, but the thermocouple is cylindrical. Even if it is squeezed together, there will still be some gaps between adjacent thermocouples, resulting in poor sealing of the detection hole. Therefore, we need to propose a detection device for thermocouple production. Utility Model Content
