Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermocouple processing, in particular to a platinum-rhodium wire threading device for assembling thermocouple accessories. Background Art

[0002] Thermocouple is a commonly used temperature measuring element in temperature measuring instruments. It directly measures temperature and converts temperature signals into thermoelectric potential signals, which are then converted into the temperature of the measured medium through electrical instruments (secondary instruments). Thermocouple wires are made of metal wires or alloy wires to form two thermocouple electrodes. Thermocouple wires are welded by two wires, and different thermocouples require thermocouple wires of different thicknesses. There are many thermocouple wire welding devices in the prior art. During welding, two thermocouple wires are pulled to the welding position and welded with a welding gun. Some welding methods are to thread the welded thermocouple wires into a quartz tube, which is U-shaped. In addition, the platinum-rhodium wire is too soft and too thin, with a diameter of only 0.035 mm, making the threading process very complicated. At present, the threading of platinum-rhodium wires for thermocouples is usually done manually. However, due to the thinness of the platinum-rhodium wire, the threading efficiency of the platinum-rhodium wire is greatly reduced. For this reason, we propose a platinum-rhodium wire threading device for assembling thermocouple accessories. Utility Model Content
