The fixed heat-insulating structure 302 and the movable heat-insulating structure 303 are sleeved on the thermocouple 1. The outer wall of the movable heat-insulating structure 303 is fixedly mounted with a mounting plate 304. The outer wall of the mounting plate 304 is rotatably connected with a screw rod 305 through a bearing. The outer wall of the screw rod 305 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the front face of the connecting chamber 301. A guide rod 306 is fixedly installed on the outer wall, and the guide rod 306 movably penetrates the inner wall of the connecting chamber 301. The fixing component 307 is arranged between the thermocouple 1 and the fixing cylinder 2. The thermocouple 1 is clamped and fixed by the heat insulation ring composed of the fixed heat insulation structure 302 and the movable heat insulation structure 303, and heat insulation is performed at the same time. The thermocouple 1 is fixed twice by the fixing component 307, so that the installation of the thermocouple 1 is more stable. The installation sheet 304 is driven to move by rotating the screw rod 305, and then the movable heat insulation structure 303 is driven to move, so that the movable heat insulation structure 303 is separated or spliced ​​from the fixed heat insulation structure 302, so that when the thermocouple 1 is inserted or pulled out, the heat insulation material (asbestos board) on the fixed heat insulation structure 302 and the movable heat insulation structure 303 will not be damaged;

[0025] The fixing component 307 includes an internal threaded tube 3071 and an elastic card 3072. The elastic card 3072 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixing tube 2. The internal threaded tube 3071 is threadedly sleeved on the thermocouple 1. The outer wall of the internal threaded tube 3071 is provided with an arc groove 3073. The bottom end of the elastic card 3072 is inserted into the arc groove 3073. The internal threaded tube 3071 is fixed by inserting the elastic card 3072 into the arc groove 3073, thereby fixing the thermocouple 1.

[0026] The guide rod 306 is consistent with the length of the screw rod 305. A turning handle 8 is fixedly installed at the front end of the screw rod 305. The outer wall of the turning handle 8 is provided with an anti-slip protrusion. The turning handle 8 is arranged so that the hand is not easy to slip when the screw rod 305 is turned.

[0027] The composition and structure of the fixed thermal insulation structure 302 and the movable thermal insulation structure 303 are consistent. The fixed thermal insulation structure 302 and the movable thermal insulation structure 303 both include a support body 6 and a thermal insulation material 7. The thermal insulation material 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support body 6. The support body 6 is provided to support the thermal insulation material 7, so that when the fixed thermal insulation structure 302 and the movable thermal insulation structure 303 are installed, the fixed thermal insulation structure 302 and the movable thermal insulation structure 303 are not easily deformed by force, and when the fixed thermal insulation structure 302 and the movable thermal insulation structure 303 are spliced, the fixed thermal insulation structure 302 and the movable thermal insulation structure 303 are also not easily deformed;

[0028] A mounting plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixing tube 2, and a heat insulating pad 5 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 4. A threaded hole is provided on the mounting plate 4. The mounting plate 4 is used to mount the fixing tube 2 on the furnace body.

[0029] The heat-insulating material 7 is fixedly connected to the support body 6 by a high-temperature resistant thermosetting adhesive, and the fixed heat-insulating structure 302 is fixedly connected to the fixed tube 2 by a high-temperature resistant thermosetting adhesive. The high-temperature resistant thermosetting adhesive used is ZS-1071 high-temperature resistant inorganic adhesive;

[0030] A stop ring 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 2. The stop ring 9 is located below the internal threaded tube 3071. The stop ring 9 is provided to support the internal threaded tube 3071 and prompt the internal threaded tube 3071 to be inserted into place.

[0031] The elastic card 3072 includes a V-shaped upper half and an arc-shaped lower half. The top of the elastic card 3072 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed tube 2, and the lower half of the elastic card 3072 is inserted into the arc groove 3073, so that the elastic card 3072 can be deformed under force, thereby making the lower half of the elastic card 3072 movable. The lower half of the elastic card 3072 is set to an arc shape, so that the elastic card 3072 can be better inserted into and detached from the arc groove 3073.

[0032] Working principle: When in use, screw the internal threaded tube 3071 onto the thermocouple 1, and then insert the thermocouple 1 into the fixed tube 2 until the internal threaded tube 3071 contacts the stop ring 9. During the insertion of the thermocouple 1, the internal threaded tube 3071 extends into the fixed tube 2, pushing the elastic card 3072 to deform until the bottom end of the elastic card 3072 is stuck in the arc groove 3073, and then rotate the screw rod 305 to drive the mounting plate 304 to move backward, thereby driving the movable thermal insulation structure 3 03 moves backward to form an insulation ring with the fixed insulation structure 302, and presses and fixes the thermocouple 1 to achieve the installation of the thermocouple 1. When the thermocouple 1 needs to be removed, the screw rod 305 is rotated in the opposite direction so that the screw rod 305 drives the installation plate 304 to move forward, so that the movable insulation structure 303 is separated from the fixed insulation structure 302, and the thermocouple 1 is pulled upward to drive the internal threaded tube 3071 to move upward, so that the elastic card 3072 is disengaged from the arc groove 3073, and the thermocouple 1 can be removed.

[0033] Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
