Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of thermocouples, and specifically relates to a multi-point temperature-measuring armored thermocouple for a zincizing furnace. Background Art

[0002] Powder zincizing is to bury the surface-cleaned workpiece in the furnace core of a zincizing furnace filled with zincizing agent, heat the inside of the zincizing furnace to below the melting point of zinc (419.4 °C), and keep it warm for a certain period of time, so as to form a zincizing layer on the metal surface. At the process temperature, the workpiece to be processed needs to be heated in the sealed furnace core for 4 - 6 hours. During this process, the sealed furnace core is always rotating, and the workpieces in the sealed furnace core are in a state of rolling and rubbing against each other. Since the heating of the zincizing furnace is external heating, the heater is outside the sealed furnace core. When heating, the wall of the sealed furnace core is heated first, and then the heat is transferred to the workpieces in the drum. During the heating process, the temperature of the furnace wall is always the highest.

[0003] Traditional temperature measurement of zincizing furnaces uses ordinary armored thermocouples, which are inserted into the inside of the sealed furnace core from the rotating shaft of the sealed furnace core for temperature measurement, rather than measuring the temperature near the furnace wall, and can only measure the temperature of one point. The temperature value measured by this measurement method is on the low side, while the actual temperature, especially the temperature of the furnace wall, may be very high, exceeding the melting point of zinc, and the zinc powder will be melted, forming zinc nodules on the surface of the workpiece, and seriously scrapping the product in severe cases.

[0004] Therefore, it is crucial to accurately measure the temperature near the inner wall of the zincizing furnace core. Summary of the Utility Model

[0013] In some embodiments, the high temperature resistant insulating coating is a polysilazane coating with a thickness of less than 0.5 mm.

[0014] In some embodiments, the thermocouple wire pair is a K-type thermocouple.

The thermocouple wire pair 2 is coated with a high-temperature resistant insulating coating, which is a polysilazane coating with a thickness of 0.2 mm. The armored casing 1 is divided into three sections, including an axial tube section 11, an end tube section 12 and a temperature measuring tube section 13, which are in a Z shape. Three temperature measuring parts 3 are arranged on the temperature measuring tube section 13, which are respectively located at the two ends and the middle of the temperature measuring tube section 13. The temperature measuring part 3 includes a hole 31 opened on the temperature measuring tube section 13 and a protective cap 32 covering the hole 31. Three groups of thermocouple wire pairs 2 are passed through the armored casing 1. The connecting part 13 of each group of thermocouple wire pairs 2 is correspondingly located in the temperature measuring part 3 on the temperature measuring tube section and is led out from the port of the axial tube section 11. In actual use, the axial tube section 11 of the armored casing 1 is passed through the core shaft 4 of the zincizing furnace, the end tube section is arranged on the inner wall of the end of the zincizing furnace core, and the temperature measuring tube section is arranged on the side wall 5 of the zincizing furnace core.

[0026] The thermocouple wire is coated with a polysilazane coating, which is an organic polysilazane coating, such as vinyl polysilazane. Polysilazane has good electrical insulation and high temperature resistance. It can be ceramicized at high temperature to form silicon ceramics, and silicon ceramics still have good electrical insulation. Although the temperature of zinc infiltration is not high, the polysilazane coating will not be ceramicized, has good electrical insulation, and is not afraid of high temperatures, and can be used for a long time.

[0027] After the thermocouple wire is coated with polysilazane coating, there is no need to fill other insulating materials in the armored pipe, so that the signals between each group of thermocouple wire pairs will not interfere with each other, and accurate temperature measurement of multiple points in the same pipe can be achieved. Example
