[0002] In industrial production, accurate measurement of furnace temperature is crucial for process control and optimization. Furnace temperature measurement usually uses temperature sensors, among which thermocouples are a common choice. Thermocouples measure temperature by utilizing the thermoelectric potential generated by two different metal materials when temperature changes. It has the advantages of fast response speed, wide measurement range, and high precision. A thermocouple is usually composed of a measuring end, connecting wires, and a display instrument. The measuring end directly contacts the high-temperature environment inside the furnace and converts the temperature signal into a thermoelectric potential signal. The connecting wires transmit the thermoelectric potential signal to the display instrument, which processes and displays the signal to obtain the temperature value of the furnace.
[0003] In actual furnace temperature measurement scenarios, the existing temperature sensors have some deficiencies in use. In the furnace, due to the influence of gravity and falling coke, the thermocouple is prone to bending deformation. For example, in some industrial furnaces, the thermocouple is in a high-temperature environment for a long time and is subjected to the action of gravity, which easily bends downward.
