Specific embodiments

[0017] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0018] The first embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 wherein Figure 1 is the overall structural schematic diagram of the thermocouple protector according to the first embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is the installation structural schematic diagram of the thermocouple wire according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0020] The present invention provides a thermocouple protector, including a thermocouple wire 101, an insulating sleeve 102 and a protection component. The protection component includes a junction box 103, a mounting part 104, a protection tube 105, an elastic sheet 106, a driving member and a collision prevention member. The driving member includes a guide rail 107, a rotating cylinder 108 and a positioning component. The positioning component includes a positioning rod 109 and a cross block 110. The guide rail 107 has a positioning hole 111. Through the foregoing solution, the problem that in the process of using the thermocouple protector, since the protection tube is fixedly installed on the mounting part and cannot be rotated according to the actual use situation, the measuring end of the thermocouple wire is exposed to measure the temperature, thereby reducing the accuracy of measuring the temperature of the object to be measured and unable to obtain an accurate measurement value is solved. It can be understood that the foregoing solution can be used in the scenario of thermocouple use and can also be used to solve the problem of junction box protection.

[0021] In this embodiment, the thermocouple wire 101 is fixedly installed in the insulating sleeve 102, and the protection component is installed on the insulating sleeve 102, so that the protection tube 105 moves to expose the thermocouple wire 101 to measure the temperature of the detection object, which can improve the accuracy of measuring the detection object and obtain an accurate measurement value.

[0022] Among them, the junction box 103 is fixedly installed on the insulating sleeve 102 and is located at one end of the insulating sleeve 102 away from the thermocouple wire 101. The mounting member 104 is fixedly installed on the insulating sleeve 102. The protection tube 105 is installed on the mounting member 104 through the driving member. The elastic sheet 106 is fixedly installed on the protection tube 105 and is located at one end of the protection tube 105 away from the mounting member 104. The junction box 103 plays a role in joint connection and protection, and performs operations such as amplifying, linearizing, adjusting, and isolating the temperature signal sensed by the thermocouple wire 101, and displays the data through an external device, facilitating the operator to record the temperature data; the mounting member 104 is made of ferroaluminum porcelain material, and the mounting member 104 supports the driving member; the protection tube 105 is made of ferroaluminum porcelain material, and the protection tube 105 protects the insulating sleeve 102, making the insulating sleeve 102 not easily damaged by external force bending. The protection tube 105 is sleeved on the outer shell of the insulating sleeve 102, and the protection tube 105 slides on the insulating sleeve 102 through the driving member, driving the elastic sheet 106 to move to expose the thermocouple wire 101; the elastic sheet 106 has a certain elasticity to protect the thermocouple wire 101; the driving member enables the protection tube 105 to move on the insulating sleeve 102; the anti-collision member protects the junction box 103; when measuring the temperature, the driving member is used to rotate the protection tube 105, so that the protection tube 105 moves on the insulating sleeve 102, driving the elastic sheet 106 to move upward to expose the thermocouple wire 101, enabling the thermocouple wire 101 to contact the detected object for temperature measurement, and the measured data is transmitted to the junction box 103, and then the data is viewed through an external device, thereby improving the accuracy of measuring the detected object and obtaining an accurate measured value.

[0023] Secondly, the guide rail 107 is fixedly installed on the mounting member 104; the rotating cylinder 108 is installed on the guide rail 107, and the rotating cylinder 108 is slidably connected to the guide rail 107. The protective tube 105 is installed on the rotating cylinder 108, and the protective tube 105 is threadedly connected to the rotating cylinder 108; the positioning member is installed on the guide rail 107. The guide rail 107 supports the rotation of the rotating cylinder 108 and plays a supporting role in the rotation of the rotating cylinder 108; the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 108 has threads, and the threads are thread-matched with the outer wall of the protective tube 105. Rotating the rotating cylinder 108 moves the protective tube 105. The outer wall of the rotating cylinder 108 has protrusions to increase the friction with the hand and facilitate the rotation of the rotating cylinder 108; the positioning member fixes the rotating cylinder 108 on the guide rail 107, so that the rotating cylinder 108 is not easily rotated by external forces, thereby fixing the movement of the protective tube 105; rotating the rotating cylinder 108 makes the protective tube 105 move on the insulating sleeve 102 to a specified height to expose the thermocouple wire 101, and then the rotating cylinder 108 is fixed on the guide rail 107 through the positioning member, so that the rotating cylinder 108 is not easily rotated by external forces and also fixes the protective tube 105.

[0024] Thirdly, the number of the positioning rods 109 is two. The two positioning rods 109 are respectively installed on both sides of the guide rail 107, and the positioning rods 109 are threadedly connected to the guide rail 107. Each positioning rod 109 is provided with a cross block 110, and the cross block 110 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 109. The number of the positioning rods 109 being two can better fix the rotating cylinder 108 on the guide rail 107; the cross block 110 facilitates the rotation and removal of the positioning rod 109 from the guide rail 107.

[0025] Then, the positioning hole 111 cooperates with the positioning rod 109. The threads on the inner wall of the positioning hole 111 are thread-matched with the threads on the positioning rod 109, so that the positioning rod 109 is thread-rotated on the positioning hole 111 and abuts against the rotating cylinder 108 to fix the rotating cylinder 108 on the guide rail 107.

[0026] When a thermocouple protector in this embodiment is in use, rotate the positioning rod 109 to remove the positioning rod 109 from the guide rail 107, then rotate the rotating cylinder 108 to make the rotating cylinder 108 rotate on the guide rail 107, so that the protection tube 105 rotates threadedly on the rotating cylinder 108, driving the elastic piece 106 to move upward, exposing the thermocouple wire 101. Then, place the positioning rod 109 on the positioning hole 111 and rotate it threadedly so that the positioning rod 109 abuts against the rotating cylinder 108, fixing the rotating cylinder 108 on the guide rail 107, stopping the movement of the protection tube 105, and making the thermocouple wire 101 contact the detection object for measurement. The measured data is transmitted to the junction box 103, and then the data is viewed through an external device, thereby improving the accuracy of measuring the detection object and obtaining an accurate measurement value.

[0027] The second embodiment of this application is:

[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 , in which Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the airbag in the second embodiment of the present utility model.

[0029] The anti-collision member provided by the present utility model includes a protective sleeve 201 and an airbag 202.

[0030] Among them, the protective sleeve 201 is fixedly installed on the junction box 103; the airbag 202 is fixedly installed on the junction box 103. The protective sleeve 201 is made of rubber, and the protective sleeve 201 protects the junction box 103. When the thermocouple wire 101 is used up and placed horizontally on the table, under the action of the protective sleeve 201, the junction box 103 does not directly contact the junction box 103, avoiding hitting the junction box 103 with excessive force during placement and damaging the junction box 103; the airbag 202 is made of polyester fiber and polyamide fiber fabric, and the airbag 202 further protects the junction box 103; through the protective sleeve 201 and the airbag 202, the junction box 103 is protected, thereby avoiding damage to the junction box 103 caused by external impact.

[0031] When a thermocouple protector in this embodiment is in use, the junction box 103 is protected through the protective sleeve 201 and the airbag 202, thereby avoiding damage to the junction box 103 caused by external impact.

[0032] The above-disclosed are only one or more preferred embodiments of this application, and the scope of rights of this application cannot be limited thereby. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand all or part of the processes of implementing the above embodiments, and the equivalent changes made according to the claims of this application still fall within the scope covered by this application.
