Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-temperature industrial monitoring probe technology, specifically a cooling device for a high-temperature industrial monitoring probe. Background Technology

[0002] In high-temperature industrial environments, monitoring probes need to continuously collect data for real-time monitoring. If the monitoring probe is exposed to high temperatures for a long time, its internal components may experience performance degradation due to continuous heating, resulting in errors or inaccuracies in the collected data. This inaccuracy may stem from the negative impact of high temperatures on the probe's internal sensors, electronic components, or data processing circuits, thereby affecting the overall reliability and data quality of the monitoring system.

[0003] While air cooling can reduce the internal temperature of equipment to some extent, its effectiveness is often limited by ambient temperature and heat dissipation efficiency. Therefore, in some high-performance or high-heat-generating applications, air cooling may not be sufficient to meet the cooling requirements. For this reason, the more efficient water cooling method is usually adopted.

[0004] To ensure effective heat dissipation, water cooling systems typically need to maintain a high flow rate of the cooling fluid. While this high flow rate can remove heat more effectively, it also brings potential risks. As the high flow rate enhances the scouring effect of the cooling fluid on the inner walls of the cooling channels, coupled with the possibility of increased impurities or changes in viscosity in the cooling fluid due to high external temperatures, these factors can all increase the risk of the cooling channels becoming clogged.

[0005] In actual use, if the cooling channels become blocked, the heat dissipation performance of the equipment will drop significantly, and may even trigger the overheat protection mechanism, causing the equipment to shut down. Removing, cleaning or repairing blocked cooling channels is relatively troublesome, requiring not only professional technology and tools, but also possibly involving the disassembly and reassembly of the equipment. All of these will seriously affect the continuous working progress and overall operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0006] Therefore, a cooling device for high-temperature industrial monitoring probes is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0014] Preferably, the lower end of the rotating bracket is fixed with a mounting base, and the mounting base is provided with several sets of fixing bolts.

[0015] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0016] This utility model provides a cooling device for a high-temperature industrial monitoring probe, which has the following beneficial effects: In actual use, through the circulation system formed by the coolant between the inlet / outlet and the heat sink, heat exchange is achieved by the heat sink and the monitoring probe housing being in close contact, effectively reducing the operating temperature of the monitoring probe.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0025] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cooling device for a high-temperature industrial monitoring probe, including a monitoring probe body 1 and a cooling device body 4. The monitoring probe body 1 includes a housing 11, with a heat dissipation cavity 13 at the lower end of the housing 11. The cooling device body 4 is installed inside the heat dissipation cavity 13, and a lower support plate 14 is installed at the lower end of the heat dissipation cavity 13. The lower support plate 14 is connected to the housing 11 by mounting bolts 141. The cooling device body 4 includes an inlet / outlet 46 and a heat dissipation plate 42. The inlet / outlet 46 is installed on the rear side of the housing 11. A second pair of interfaces 47 is provided on the left side of the inlet / outlet 46. The heat dissipation plate 42 is installed inside the heat dissipation cavity 13. A first pair of interfaces 45 is provided on the right side of the heat dissipation plate 42. The first pair of interfaces 45 is connected to the second pair of interfaces 47. The connection between the first pair of interfaces 45 and the second pair of interfaces 47 is inclined. Both the first pair of interfaces 45 and the second pair of interfaces 47 are provided with inclined surfaces, and the middle part of the inclined surface is a through hole for liquid inlet / outlet. The inclined surfaces of the two are in contact with each other. In this embodiment, the inlet / outlet port 46 is provided with two interfaces, one for liquid inlet and the other for liquid outlet. Furthermore, the inlet / outlet port 46 is connected to two second pairs of interfaces 47, and after the second pairs of interfaces 47 are connected to the first pair of interfaces 45, the through holes on both can communicate with each other.

[0027] During use, the lower support plate 14 serves as the supporting structure for the lower end of the heat dissipation cavity 13. It is tightly connected to the housing 11 by mounting bolts 141, ensuring the stable installation of the cooling device body 4. The heat dissipation plate 42 can be easily replaced by removing the lower support plate 14, thus avoiding the phenomenon of difficult disassembly and reassembly of the heat dissipation plate 42, which is a complex part that is very prone to clogging or attenuation. The connection between the first pair of interfaces 45 and the second pair of interfaces 47 is designed with a bevel. This design not only helps to ensure the smooth flow of coolant in the pipe, but more importantly, the bevel design can reduce friction and resistance at the interface when disassembling and replacing the heat dissipation plate 42.

[0028] A thermal grease sheet 41 is provided at the joint between the upper end of the heat sink 42 and the heat dissipation cavity 13. The thermal grease sheet 41 is thermally conductive and can effectively transfer the heat from the monitoring probe housing 11 to the heat sink 42. The thermal grease sheet 41 has a certain adsorption force when it is attached, and the adsorption force also facilitates the replacement of the heat sink 42.

[0029] An airtight gasket 451 is provided between the first pair of interfaces 45 and the second pair of interfaces 47. The airtight gasket 451 is made of high-temperature resistant rubber and can effectively prevent coolant leakage during circulation. When the first pair of interfaces 45 and the second pair of interfaces 47 are connected to each other, the airtight gasket 451 can be squeezed to achieve a sealing effect between them.

[0030] The heat sink 42 has heat dissipation channels 43 inside, and heat dissipation fins 44 are fixed between the heat dissipation channels 43. The heat dissipation fins 44 increase the surface area inside the heat sink 42, providing more heat exchange points for the coolant.

[0031] A limiting block 48 is provided between the first pair of interfaces 45 and the second pair of interfaces 47. The limiting block 48 is fixed to the lower end of the housing 11 and provides a clear positioning point, enabling the first pair of interfaces 45 to accurately mate with the second pair of interfaces 47. See details. Figure 3 As shown, the limiting block 48 is located between the two second pairs of interfaces 47, and a limiting groove is provided between the two first pairs of interfaces 45 for cooperating with the limiting block 48.

[0032] The monitoring probe body 1 is equipped with a sensor 12 inside, and a rotating bracket 3 is installed at the lower end of the housing 11. The sensor 12 is connected to the rotating bracket 3 through a transmission line 2. The sensor 12 can capture data changes in the industrial environment in real time and convert them into electrical signals. The transmission line 2 serves as a bridge connecting the sensor 12 and the rotating bracket 3. The rotating bracket 3 is installed at the lower end of the housing 11 to support and fix the monitoring probe body 1, and allows it to rotate and adjust within a certain range.

[0033] The lower end of the rotating bracket 3 is fixed with a mounting base 31. The mounting base 31 is provided with several sets of fixing bolts 32. The several sets of fixing bolts 32 are installed on the mounting base 31 to firmly fix the mounting base 31 to the installation environment.

[0034] In this embodiment, the inlet / outlet port 46 can be connected to an external cooling system, which is an existing structure used to provide coolant.

[0035] The structure of the rotating bracket 3 can be found in [reference]. Figure 1 As shown, the structure of the rotating bracket 3 is an existing structure, which has its own rotating motor. The sensor 12 is also an existing structure. The sensor 12 is connected to the rotating motor in the rotating bracket 3 through the transmission line 2. The rotating motor can control the monitoring probe body 1 to rotate circumferentially on the horizontal plane. The pitch angle of the monitoring probe body 1 can be adjusted manually. Of course, a motor can also be set at the connection between the rotating bracket and the monitoring probe body 1 to drive the monitoring probe body 1 to automatically adjust the pitch angle.

[0036] In this embodiment, a PLC controller can be installed on the rotating bracket. The transmission line 2 of the sensor 12 can be connected to the PLC controller, and then the PLC controller can be connected to the rotating motor and the motor on the rotating bracket 3. The PLC controller can realize the automatic control of the rotating motor and the motor.

[0037] The structure of the monitoring probe body 1 in this embodiment is an existing structure, and its specific structure and working principle are not limited here.

[0038] As an embodiment of this utility model: when replacing or repairing the cooling device of a high-temperature industrial monitoring probe, first shut off the coolant circulation of the cooling system, loosen the mounting bolts 141 on the lower support plate 14, separate the lower support plate 14 from the housing 11, and after the heat sink 42 is exposed, the operator can easily remove it from the heat dissipation cavity 13, install the new heat sink 42 into the heat dissipation cavity 13, and ensure that the first pair of interfaces 45 and the second pair of interfaces 47 are accurately connected. The beveled design will help reduce friction and resistance during connection. At the same time, the silicone grease sheet 41 on the upper end of the new heat sink 42 will be tightly attached to the heat dissipation cavity 13 to ensure effective heat transfer. After the new heat sink 42 is installed, the lower support plate 14 is re-fixed and tightly connected to the housing 11 using the mounting bolts 141. Finally, the coolant circulation of the cooling system is restarted, thereby completing the replacement or repair of the cooling device of the high-temperature industrial monitoring probe.
