Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of temperature measurement, in particular to an armored thermocouple. Background Art
[0002] Thermocouples are commonly used temperature measuring elements in temperature measurement instruments. They measure temperature directly and convert the temperature signal into a thermoelectric potential (EMF). This is then converted into the temperature of the medium being measured via an electrical instrument (secondary instrument). Because they are active sensors, they require no external power supply and are very convenient to use. Therefore, they are often used to measure the temperature of gases or liquids in furnaces and pipelines, as well as the surface temperature of solids.
[0003] Current thermocouple structures consist of an armored cable and a compensating conductor. Two core wires extend from one end of the armored cable, while two lead wires extend from the other end of the compensating conductor. The two core wires correspond to the two lead wires, and the two corresponding core wires and lead wires are secured together by spot welding. To reinforce the connection between the core wires and the lead wires, a protective cap is placed at the connection, and insulating or heat-resistant adhesive is injected into the cap for sealing and reinforcement.
[0004] Currently, the primary sealing method is vertical sealing, where glue is injected from the port of the protective cap. For very long armor pieces (e.g., 4 meters), the armor needs to be coiled to reduce its height, which then requires re-alignment before insertion into the casing, resulting in low production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an armored thermocouple to solve the problem that when a very long thermocouple is sealed in a vertical sealing manner, the armor material needs to be looped to reduce the height, and later it needs to be straightened before being installed in the sleeve, resulting in low production efficiency.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is: an armored thermocouple, comprising an armored cable, a compensation wire and a protective cap, the core wire of the armored cable and the lead wire of the compensation wire are connected, and the protective cap is sleeved on the connection position; a glue injection port is provided on the side of the protective cap, and the glue injection port is used to inject reinforcing glue into the protective cap.
[0007] Furthermore, the protective cap includes a first straight cylinder, a shrinking cylinder and a second straight cylinder connected in sequence, the diameter of the first straight cylinder is larger than the diameter of the second straight cylinder, the first straight cylinder is connected to the large diameter end of the shrinking cylinder, and the second straight cylinder is connected to the small diameter end of the shrinking cylinder; the compensation wire is on the same side as the first straight cylinder, and the armored cable is on the same side as the second straight cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, the length of the first straight tube is greater than the total length of the second straight tube and the shrinking tube.
[0009] Furthermore, the glue injection port is arranged on the first straight cylinder.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer length of the glue injection port is greater than the inner length, and both ends of the glue injection port are inclined.
[0011] Furthermore, the protective cap is made of a stainless steel tube.
[0012] The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that: in this technical solution, a glue injection port is provided on the protective cap, which can achieve horizontal glue sealing, and the armored cable is in a straight state, which is convenient for direct assembly in the later stage.
