Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ultrasonic temperature sensors, in particular to an ultrasonic temperature sensor and a temperature sensing rod. Background Art

[0002] Temperature sensors are widely used in industry, agriculture, commerce and other sectors. Temperature sensors are the core part of temperature measuring instruments and come in a wide variety. According to the measurement method, they can be divided into two categories: contact and non-contact. The detection part of the contact temperature sensor has good contact with the object being measured, also known as a thermometer. Commonly used ones include bimetallic thermometers, glass liquid thermometers, pressure thermometers, resistance thermometers, thermistors and thermocouples. The thermometer reaches thermal equilibrium through conduction or convection, so that the indication of the thermometer can directly represent the temperature of the object being measured. The detection part has good contact with the object being measured and reaches thermal equilibrium through conduction or convection, so that the indication of the thermometer can directly represent the temperature of the object being measured. Within a certain temperature measurement range, the thermometer can also measure the temperature distribution inside the object. However, for moving objects, small targets or objects with very small heat capacity, large measurement errors will be generated, while contact temperature sensors generally have higher measurement accuracy. Non-contact temperature sensors can be used to measure the surface temperature of moving objects, small targets and objects with small heat capacity or rapid temperature changes, and can also be used to measure the temperature distribution of temperature fields. The advantage is that the upper limit of measurement is not limited by the temperature resistance of the temperature sensing element, so there is no limit on the maximum measurable temperature in principle.

[0003] Thermocouples are the most commonly used technology for contact temperature measurement. They consist of two metal wires of different materials, welded together at the ends. When one end of the thermocouple is heated, there is a potential difference in the thermocouple circuit. The temperature can be calculated using the measured potential difference. Since it must have two conductors of different materials, it is called a thermocouple. Thermocouples made of different materials are used in different temperature ranges, and their sensitivities are also different. The sensitivity of a thermocouple refers to the change in the output potential difference when the temperature of the heating point changes by 1°C. Since the sensitivity of a thermocouple temperature sensor has nothing to do with the thickness of the material, a temperature sensor can be made of very fine materials. Also, because the metal material used to make the thermocouple has good ductility, this fine temperature measuring element has an extremely high response speed and can measure rapidly changing processes. Thermocouples are the most commonly used temperature sensors in temperature measurement. Its main advantages are a wide temperature range and adaptability to various atmospheric environments, and it is also strong, low-priced, does not require power, and is the cheapest. Thermocouples are the simplest and most versatile temperature sensors, but thermocouples are not suitable for high-precision measurements and applications.

[0004] Thermistors are made of semiconductor materials, most of which have a negative temperature coefficient, that is, the resistance decreases as the temperature increases. Temperature changes will cause large changes in resistance, so it is the most sensitive temperature sensor. However, the linearity of thermistors is extremely poor and has a lot to do with the production process. Manufacturers cannot provide standardized thermistor curves. The small size of thermistors is an advantage, and they can stabilize quickly and will not cause heat load. However, they are also very fragile, and large currents will cause self-heating. Since thermistors are resistive devices, any current source will cause heat on them due to power. Therefore, a small current source should be used. If thermistors are exposed to high heat, they will cause permanent damage.

[0005] The most commonly used non-contact temperature measuring instruments are based on the basic law of blackbody radiation. Radiation temperature measurement methods include brightness method (see optical pyrometer), radiation method (see radiation pyrometer) and colorimetry (see colorimetric thermometer). Various radiation temperature measurement methods can only measure the corresponding photometric temperature, radiation temperature or colorimetric temperature. Only the temperature measured for the blackbody is the real temperature. If you want to determine the real temperature of an object, you must correct the surface emissivity of the material. The surface emissivity of the material depends not only on temperature and wavelength, but also on surface state, coating and microstructure, so it is difficult to measure accurately. In automated production, it is often necessary to use radiation temperature measurement to measure or control the surface temperature of certain objects, such as the rolling temperature of steel strips, roller temperature, forging temperature and the temperature of various molten metals in smelting furnaces or crucibles in metallurgy. In these specific cases, it is quite difficult to measure the surface emissivity of objects.

[0006] For example, the utility model patent with the announcement number CN217466018U discloses a thermocouple temperature sensor, including a probe part, a sealing shell is provided on the outer side of the probe part, a fastening seat is provided on the right end of the probe part, a telescopic protective shell is provided on the right side of the fastening seat; the telescopic protective shell has a bell mouth at the rear end of the telescopic protective shell, and a plurality of contact guides are provided inside the bell mouth. However, the technical solution provided by the utility model cannot prevent the corrosion of the thermocouple by corrosive substances, and the thermocouple sensor has a slow response speed and cannot adapt to the occasions where the temperature changes rapidly.

[0007] Due to the slow response speed of thermocouples, they are not suitable for occasions with rapid temperature changes. Non-contact methods such as thermal imagers cannot measure temperature changes in confined spaces, and they are expensive. Therefore, it is urgent to develop high-sensitivity temperature sensors that can work in high and low temperature environments to meet the needs of industrial temperature measurement. Utility Model Content

[0017] Preferably, an annular ultrasonic reflection defect is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the substrate at a distance of 5 to 100 mm from the end thereof away from the piezoelectric functional layer; the ultrasonic reflection defect has a depth of 1 to 2 mm and a width of 0.5 to 1 mm.

[0018] Preferably, the central axis of the annular ultrasonic reflection defect coincides with the central axis of the substrate.

[0028] Traditional ZnO materials have insufficient corrosion resistance and cannot withstand steam corrosion. Compared with conventional single-layer ZnO piezoelectric coating materials, the utility model uses Co-doped ZnO to form a ZnCoO piezoelectric film, which improves the piezoelectric performance while also improving its corrosion resistance. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0029] like Figure 2 An ultrasonic temperature sensor is shown, the sensor comprising an anti-corrosion layer 3, a crystallization inducing layer 4, a piezoelectric functional layer 5, a protective layer 6 and an electrode layer 7 which are sequentially arranged on the surface of the substrate 1 from the inside to the outside, the piezoelectric functional layer 5 is a ZnCoO coating, and the utility model utilizes a multilayer structure to form a low-stress ultrasonic sensor with materials such as alumina, ZnCoO, and Co, thereby improving the bonding strength between the ultrasonic sensor and the aluminum alloy.

[0033] Specifically, the protective layer 6 is an aluminum oxide layer, the thickness of the protective layer 6 is 10 to 100 μm, and it has the characteristics of wear resistance and corrosion resistance; traditional aluminum alloys have low hardness and poor wear resistance, and cannot meet the requirements of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant environments, especially temperature sensors are often subject to wear and corrosion.

[0034] Specifically, the electrode layer 7 is a Co layer, and the thickness of the electrode layer 7 is 5-10 μm.

[0036] Specifically, the substrate 1 is a cylinder made of a deformed aluminum alloy or a cast aluminum alloy, and the length of the substrate 1 is 50 to 1000 mm and the diameter is 5 to 10 mm.

[0037] Specifically, an annular ultrasonic reflection defect 2 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the substrate 1 at a distance of 5 to 100 mm from the end thereof away from the piezoelectric functional layer 5; the ultrasonic reflection defect 2 has a depth of 1 to 2 mm and a width of 0.5 to 1 mm, and fully utilizes the ultrasonic reflection characteristics of the groove to improve the temperature detection accuracy and avoid errors caused by uneven spatial distribution of temperature of the ultrasonic conduction rod.

[0038] Specifically, the central axis of the annular ultrasonic reflection defect 2 coincides with the central axis of the substrate 1 .

[0039] This embodiment further provides a temperature sensing rod, including a substrate and an ultrasonic temperature sensor installed on an end surface of the substrate.

[0040] like Figure 3 The device used in this embodiment is shown. The vacuum chamber of the device is surrounded by the furnace wall. The vacuum chamber is provided with an exhaust port 8. The vacuum pumping unit evacuates the vacuum chamber through the exhaust port 8. Three targets are installed on the furnace wall in three rows, one is an etching aluminum target 10, one is a coating Co target 9 and one is a ZnCoO target 11. The sample is mounted on the workpiece rack. This layout greatly increases the plasma density in the vacuum chamber, and the workpiece is completely immersed in the plasma. The deposition rate, hardness and adhesion of the coating are greatly improved. Due to the optimization of the target structure, the magnetic field distribution is more uniform, so that the magnetron sputtering target surface is evenly etched, and the uniformity of the coating is improved.
