Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of thermocouples and relates to a thermocouple clamping tool. Background Art

[0002] At present, in laboratory mechanical testing, high-temperature tensile tests and high-temperature creep tests usually require binding three thermocouples to the surface of a specimen, which takes a lot of time and accounts for 2 / 3 of the entire specimen loading time. And the ropes for binding thermocouples are generally molybdenum wire or asbestos rope. However, asbestos rope is very easy to break brittlely, and the harmful gases generated by combustion are likely to cause irreversible damage to the respiratory tract of the tester. Metal particles such as calcium and magnesium in asbestos rope are likely to undergo penetration reaction with the metal specimen at high temperature, corrode the surface of the specimen, cause the specimen to break prematurely, and affect the reliability of experimental data. While metal wires similar to molybdenum wire have a high purchase cost and are extremely easy to oxidize and produce slag at high temperature. After the experiment, there is too much metal slag on the surface of the equipment, making it difficult to clean. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and propose a thermocouple clamping tool.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] Further, the buckle component includes a first buckle connection ear arranged on the third axial side and a second buckle connection ear arranged on the fourth axial side. Connection holes are arranged on both the first buckle connection ear and the second buckle connection ear, and the same clamping rod is arranged in the two connection holes. A left fixed ball is arranged at the left end of the clamping rod, and a right fixed ball is arranged at the right end of the clamping rod. The diameters of the left fixed ball and the right fixed ball are both larger than the diameter of the connection hole.

[0007] Further, an elastic member is sleeved on the clamping rod, and the elastic member is located between the fixed ball at one end and the first buckle connection part or the second buckle connection part.

[0008] Further, the left fixed ball or the right fixed ball is detachably connected to the clamping rod.

[0009] Further, a plurality of quick insertion holes are provided on the thermocouple quick insertion assembly. A guiding ramp is provided inside each quick insertion hole, and a vertical hollow channel is provided on the guiding ramp. The thermocouple is snapped into the vertical hollow channel so that the head of the thermocouple is close to the specimen in the left semi-circular fixture and the right semi-circular fixture.
