Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high temperature temperature probe technology, and in particular to a high temperature humidity probe. Background Technology
[0002] In industries such as timber, building materials, papermaking, chemicals, and fibers, coal-fired and oil-fired boilers are used to emit exhaust gases. These exhaust gases require monitoring. Temperature and humidity probes are devices that measure temperature and humidity, typically consisting of sensors and a display. Their main function is to detect the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment to regulate and control it, ensuring the stability and reliability of any temperature-sensitive components. They need to filter out small solid particles from the smoke and dust to detect gas parameters such as humidity and temperature. However, with increased operating time, solid particles accumulate, causing blockages and affecting detection results, necessitating regular cleaning. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a high-temperature humidity probe.
[0004] This utility model proposes a high-temperature humidity probe, including a fixed base, a tube body, and a probe head. The fixed base and the probe head are respectively located at both ends of the tube body. A positioning ring is provided in the middle of the inner cavity of the tube body. The fixed base has a smoke inlet that communicates with the inner cavity of the tube body. A toggle mechanism is installed at the connection between the fixed base and the tube body. A sintered plate is provided between the toggle mechanism and the positioning ring. The sintered plate has multiple sets of through holes. A spring is provided between the sintered plate and the positioning ring. The spring pushes the sintered plate to fit tightly against the toggle mechanism. The toggle mechanism is used to intermittently drive the sintered plate to compress the spring.
[0005] The inner cavity of the tube is equipped with a calibration vent, and a humidity-sensitive capacitor and a thin-film resistor are installed at the connection between the probe and the tube. A PT100 sensor and a heating rod are installed inside the probe.
[0006] Preferably, the outer wall of the tube is provided with several annular grooves, and O-rings are installed in the annular grooves.
[0007] Preferably, the actuating mechanism includes a rotating rod, and an arc-shaped paddle is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating rod. The rotating rod is driven to rotate by a driving component, and the convex arc surface of the arc-shaped paddle contacts the sintered sheet first.
[0008] Preferably, the actuating mechanism is provided in at least two sets, located on both sides of the sintered sheet respectively.
[0009] Preferably, the outer side wall of the rotating rod is provided with a rubber pad.
[0010] This invention proposes a high-temperature humidity probe. Flue gas enters through a sintered sheet, generates an electrical signal via a humidity-sensitive capacitor, and is transmitted to the control module. A thin-film resistor, acting as a thermistor, monitors the gas temperature within the measurement chamber. A PT100 sensor monitors the heating temperature of the heating rod (i.e., the temperature of the metal probe). The heating rod's heating is adjusted based on feedback from the thin-film resistor and the PT100 sensor. As operating time increases, dust particles may accumulate on the sintered sheet. A backflushing function is achieved through standard vents to clean the sintered sheet and prevent blockages that could prevent flue gas from entering the probe's testing chamber. The electrical signal generated by the humidity-sensitive capacitor, after being filtered and amplified by the control module, is output as a digital signal.
[0011] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar symbols denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0017] like Figures 1-3A high-temperature humidity probe is shown, comprising a fixed base 1, a tube body 2, and a probe head 3. The fixed base 1 and the probe head 3 are located at opposite ends of the tube body 2. A positioning ring 12 is provided in the middle of the inner cavity 201 of the tube body 2. The fixed base 1 has a smoke inlet 101 that communicates with the inner cavity 201 of the tube body 2. An actuating mechanism 6 is installed at the connection between the fixed base 1 and the tube body 2. A sintered sheet 5 is provided between the actuating mechanism 6 and the positioning ring 12. The sintered sheet 5 has multiple sets of through holes 501. A spring 4 is provided between the sintered sheet 5 and the positioning ring 12. The spring 4 pushes the sintered sheet 5 to fit tightly against the actuating mechanism 6. The actuating mechanism 6 is used to intermittently drive the sintered sheet 5 to compress the spring 4.
[0018] The inner cavity 201 of the tube body 2 is equipped with a calibration vent 9. The connection between the probe head 3 and the tube body 2 is equipped with a humidity-sensitive capacitor 7 and a thin-film resistor 8. The probe is equipped with a PT100 sensor 10 and a heating rod 11.
[0019] The flue gas enters through the smoke inlet of the fixed base 1 and the sintered sheet 5. The electrical signal generated by the humidity-sensitive capacitor 7 is transmitted to the control module. The thin film resistor 8 is a thermistor used to monitor the gas temperature in the measurement chamber. The PT100 sensor 10 monitors the heating temperature of the heating rod 11 (i.e., the temperature of the metal probe). The heating rod 11 is adjusted to be heated or not by the feedback from the thin film resistor 8 and the PT100.
[0020] Preferably, the outer wall of the tube body 2 is provided with several annular grooves, and an O-ring 202 is installed in the annular grooves.
[0021] Preferably, the actuating mechanism 6 includes a rotating rod 601, and an arc-shaped paddle 602 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating rod 601. The rotating rod 601 is driven to rotate by a driving member, and the convex arc surface of the arc-shaped paddle 602 contacts the sintered sheet 5 first.
[0022] Preferably, the actuating mechanism 6 is provided in at least two sets, located on both sides of the sintered sheet 5 respectively.
[0023] As operating time increases, dust particles will adhere to the surface of the sintered sheet 5. Backflushing can be achieved through the standard air vents, but the dust removal effect is generally limited. The actuating mechanism 6 controls the rotation of the rotating rod 601 via a drive component. The arc-shaped actuating plate 602 on its side wall presses down on the sintered sheet 5 to compress the spring 4. When the arc-shaped actuating plate 602 disengages from the sintered sheet 5, the sintered sheet 5 will quickly rebound under the action of the spring 4, impacting the side wall of the rotating rod 601. Under the action of inertia, the dust adhering to the surface of the sintered sheet 5 will detach from the sintered sheet 5. Combined with the backflushing through the standard air vents, this effectively cleans the sintered sheet 5 and prevents blockage that would prevent flue gas from entering the probe's testing chamber. The electrical signal generated by the humidity-sensitive capacitor 7 enters the control module, is filtered and amplified, and then outputs a digital signal.
[0024] Preferably, the outer wall of the rotating rod 601 is provided with a rubber pad 603, which serves as a buffer and protection function when the sintered sheet 5 impacts the outer side of the rotating rod 601.

[0028] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.
