Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of detectors, in particular to a thermocouple tester with conveniently replaceable clamping pliers. Background Art
[0002] Thermocouples are commonly used temperature measuring elements in temperature measuring instruments. Thermocouples use two conductors or semiconductors of different materials to form a loop. When there is a temperature difference between the two ends, an electromotive force will be generated. Thermocouples indirectly measure the temperature by measuring this electromotive force and converting it into a readable electrical signal.
[0003] When performing resistance detection, voltage detection or stability detection on a thermocouple, a multimeter is used to measure the resistance and voltage values of the thermocouple, so as to preliminarily judge whether the wire of the thermocouple is intact and whether there is a break or short circuit. When the thermocouple is detected by a multimeter, the thermocouple is detected using the test leads provided by the multimeter, and a detachable alligator clamp is provided at one end of the test lead to meet different detection requirements, such as the Chinese utility model patent disclosed by publication number CN210090522U: Multimeter probe fixing clip, which is used when it is inconvenient to measure by holding the multimeter probe. , the multimeter probe can be connected to the metal needle through the docking part, and then the clip body can be fixed on the object to be tested, so that the metal needle can contact the position to be tested to achieve measurement. However, since the clip body of the application is separated from the probe of the multimeter, when stored, since the clip is separated from the probe, the clip is easy to be lost during storage or use, and thus it is impossible to complete the matching with the probe. When in use, the separate clip needs to be manually connected to the probe by the user, and after the clip is clamped on the object to be tested, the metal needle in the clip needs to be connected to the object to be tested, which makes it inconvenient to adjust the contact connection between the metal needle placed inside the clip and the object to be tested.

[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, two first positioning grooves 11 are provided on the outer side of the test lead 5. The first positioning groove 11 is provided along the outer contour of the test lead 5 and is annular. Through the provision of the two first positioning grooves 11, the entire crocodile clamp 6 can be limited after being pulled and moved on the outer side of the test lead 5;
[0025] like Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, a plurality of arc expansion pieces 13 are fixedly connected between the two movable rings 10, and the two movable rings 10 are respectively inserted and installed on the outside of the contact pin 12, and the contact pin 12 located on one side of the movable ring 10 is also provided with a compression spring 14. With the help of the two movable rings 10 and the plurality of expandable and contractible arc expansion pieces 13, the crocodile clamp 6 can be electrically connected to the connecting line 4 through the contact pin 12 after being pulled out and moved on the outside of the test lead 5. Fixed seats 17 are fixedly installed on both sides of the movable clamp body 8, and a mounting groove 18 is provided in the fixed seat 17. A plurality of limiting grooves 20 are provided on the outside of the connecting shaft 19. The connecting shaft 19 is inserted and installed in two through holes coaxial with one side of the fixed clamp body 7 and the movable clamp body 8. A mounting ring 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the second metal spring piece 23, and a plurality of limiting blocks 22 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting ring 21.

[0026] It should be noted that the utility model is a thermocouple tester with easily replaceable clamps. When testing the thermocouple through the detector body 1, the contact pins 12 at one end of the two test leads 5 can be respectively contacted with the poles at one end of the thermocouple, so that through the cooperation of the detector body 1 and the test leads 5 and the measurement of the resistance value, it can be preliminarily judged whether the wires of the thermocouple are intact, whether there is a break or short circuit, or the detector body 1 is adjusted to the voltage measurement gear through the adjustment knob 2, the two ends of the thermocouple are connected, and the voltage value displayed on the multimeter is observed. Since the working principle of the thermocouple is based on the thermoelectric effect, that is, the temperature difference produces an electric potential difference, the temperature of the environment where the thermocouple is located can be indirectly inferred by measuring the voltage at both ends of the thermocouple. If the voltage value is abnormal, it may indicate that the thermocouple is damaged or there is a problem with the measurement environment;
[0027] When the alligator clamp 6 is needed to detect some thermocouples, the fixed clamp body 7 and the movable clamp body 8 can be directly pulled to one side, so that the fixed clamp body 7 drives the sleeve 9 to move outside the test lead 5. When the sleeve 9 drives the protrusions 16 on one side of the multiple first metal springs 15 inside to move to the first positioning groove 11 close to the contact pin 12, the protrusions 16 on one side of the first metal springs 15 can be inserted into the corresponding first positioning groove 11 by means of the resilience of the first metal springs 15, and the sleeve 9 simultaneously compresses the multiple arc expansion sheets 13 toward the center of the contact pin 12, and makes the multiple arc expansion sheets 13 squeeze the movable rings 10 on both sides to one side respectively. Move, so that the movable ring 10 compresses the compression spring 14 on the outside of the contact pin 12 toward the first positioning groove 11 and the end of the contact pin 12. When the multiple arc-shaped expansion pieces 13 are placed in the sleeve 9, the multiple arc-shaped expansion pieces 13 can be inserted into the second positioning groove 24 by utilizing the resilience of the metal material, so that the entire crocodile clamp 6 can be quickly withdrawn and fixed, and the fixed clamp body 7 and the movable clamp body 8 are electrically connected to the contact pin 12 through the sleeve 9 and the arc-shaped expansion piece 13. Then, the fixed clamp body 7 and the movable clamp body 8 can be directly rotated with the two connecting shafts 19 as the axis and clamped on the pole of the thermocouple with the force of the two second metal spring pieces 23.
