Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermocouples, in particular to a high-temperature resistant thermocouple structure. Background Art
[0002] In actual use, the stove flame directly heats the tip of the thermocouple head, creating a significant temperature difference between the head's outer shell and the interior of the stem. Existing thermocouple head designs typically utilize a two-section welded stem: the upper stem is made of constantan, and the lower stem is made of nickel-chromium alloy. Constantan stems are known for their sensitive response to temperature differences, high electromotive force, and excellent stability. Nickel-chromium stems offer excellent thermal and electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance. At high temperatures, they form a dense oxide film, preventing further oxygen contact with the alloy and preventing oxidation.
[0003] As market demand increases, the power of household and commercial gas stoves increases, and flame temperatures rise. The existing Constantan rods at the top of the thermocouples struggle to withstand temperatures around 900°C. The operating temperature of the Constantan rods is limited to 650°C for short-term use and 550°C for long-term use. When used at 900°C, the lifespan of the thermocouples is significantly shortened. Furthermore, long-term high-temperature use can cause the Constantan rods to gradually corrode and fracture at the point where the flames are heating, leading to failure of the thermocouples.
[0004] In addition, in the existing thermocouple structure, the thin rod welding structure still has problems such as poor reliability and unsatisfactory welding quality. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical issues, the present invention provides a high-temperature-resistant thermocouple structure. The thin rods in this thermocouple adopt a three-section design, and the thin rods in the flame-heating position are nickel-silicon thin rods or nickel-chromium thin rods. This structure can be used for long periods of time under high-temperature conditions exceeding 1000°C. The welded structure between the thin rods is highly reliable, further extending the service life of the entire thermocouple structure.
[0006] In order to achieve the above technical objectives and the above technical effects, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A high temperature resistant thermocouple structure, comprising:
[0008] head shell;
[0009] First thin rod;
[0010] the second thin rod;
[0011] and a third thin rod;
[0012] The first thin rod and the second thin rod are arranged in the inner cavity of the head shell, and the third thin rod extends out of the head shell; the head end of the first thin rod is welded to the top end of the head shell by fusion welding to form a top arc welding structure; the flame heating position is formed at the junction of the head of the first thin rod and the top of the head shell; the first thin rod, the second thin rod, and the third thin rod are welded in sequence by fusion welding; side arc welding structures are formed between the first thin rod and the second thin rod, and between the second thin rod and the third thin rod;
[0013] The first thin rod is a nickel silicon thin rod or a nickel chromium thin rod.
[0014] Furthermore, the second thin rod is a constantan thin rod; and the third thin rod is a nickel-chromium thin rod.
[0015] Furthermore, the head shell is a nickel-chromium shell.
[0016] Furthermore, the flame heating position ranges from 3 to 5 mm.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0018] The thin rod in the thermocouple structure of the present invention adopts a three-section structural design, and the thin rod at the flame heating position adopts a nickel-silicon thin rod or a nickel-chromium thin rod. The use range of nickel-silicon and nickel-chromium materials is 1300°C in the short term and 1100°C in the long term, so that the thermocouple structure can be used for a long time under high temperature conditions greater than 1000°C, solving the problem in the prior art that the constantan thin rod slowly corrodes and breaks at the flame heating position, resulting in failure of the thermocouple product performance.
[0019] Furthermore, the head end of the first thin rod and the top end of the head shell are welded by melting welding to form a top arc welding structure; side arc welding structures are formed between the first thin rod and the second thin rod and between the second thin rod and the third thin rod; the design of the top arc welding structure and the side arc welding structure makes the welding structure more enveloping, improves the connection reliability of the welding structure, and further improves the service life of the entire thermocouple structure; and the use of melting welding based on the thin rod material can also reduce the cost of welding materials.
