[0002] During the carbon black production process, the normal control temperature of the reactor is 950-1150℃, which belongs to the high temperature area. Usually, remote thermocouples are used to remotely monitor the temperature data of the reactor, so as to monitor the carbon black production process parameters in real time. Remote thermocouples can directly measure the temperature and convert the temperature signal into a thermoelectric potential signal, which is converted into the temperature of the measured medium through electrical instruments (secondary instruments). During the carbon black production process, if the remote thermocouple is damaged, it cannot be replaced in time and can only be replaced after the shutdown. At this time, if production is insisted, the actual temperature data of the reactor cannot be obtained, and it is difficult to adjust the process parameters, which will cause instability in the production process and carbon black product quality, and increase the risk of equipment damage; if the thermocouple is replaced after the shutdown, it will reduce production efficiency and increase production costs. Summary of the invention

The protective tube jacket I is connected to the interior of a reactor and is used to fix a remote thermocouple. One end of the remote thermocouple passes through the protective tube jacket I and extends into the interior of the reactor, and the other end is fixed to the end of the protective tube jacket I through a thermocouple mounting thread. The stop valve I and the DN50 ball valve I are sequentially distributed on the protective tube jacket I. The pressure relief pipe I is connected to the protective tube jacket I, and the pressure relief pipe I is located between the stop valve I and the DN50 ball valve I. The pressure relief valve I is provided on the pressure relief pipe I. The protective air duct I is connected to the protective tube jacket I, and the protective air duct I is located between the DN50 ball valve I and the reactor. The protective air duct I is provided with a DN25 protective air valve I.
[0006] Furthermore, the online replaceable thermocouple replacement device is also provided with a protective pipe jacket II, a stop valve II, a pressure relief pipe II, a DN50 ball valve II, and a protective air duct II. The protective pipe jacket II is arranged side by side with the protective pipe jacket I. The protective pipe jacket II is also connected to the inside of the reactor and is used to fix the remote thermocouple. The stop valve II and the DN50 ball valve II are sequentially arranged on the protective pipe jacket II.
