A second sealing plug is threaded to the bottom end of the first sealing plug. A third annular sealing groove is provided on the outer surface of the second sealing plug. A third sealing gasket is disposed inside the third annular sealing groove. A fourth annular sealing groove is provided on the inner wall between the second sealing plug and the measuring rod. A fourth sealing gasket is disposed inside the fourth annular sealing groove.
[0005] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the first and second sealing plugs abut against the inner wall of the pipeline body.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer surface of the sealing cap and the pipeline body is provided with an annular edging that surrounds the connection between the sealing cap and the pipeline body.
[0007] Furthermore, the annular edging is composed of a first edging and a second edging, both of which are semi-circular in structure, and are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0008] Furthermore, the annular edging is provided with a sealing gasket that abuts against the sealing cap and the outer surface of the pipeline body, and an elastic pressure-resistant body that drives the side wall of the sealing gasket to abut against the sealing cap and the outer surface of the pipeline body.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, a thermocouple assembly with good sealing performance includes a thermocouple body 1, a measuring rod 2 disposed at the bottom of the thermocouple body 1, and a pipeline body 3 disposed below the thermocouple body 1. One end of the measuring rod 2 extends into the pipeline body 3. The measuring rod 2 is used to extend into the pipeline body 3 or into the furnace body to measure temperature. A sealing cap 4 is provided at the top of the outer surface of the measuring rod 2 to form a seal on the top surface of the pipeline body 3. The top of the outer surface of the pipeline body 3 extends horizontally outward to form a mounting part. The periphery of the sealing cap 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting part of the pipeline body 3 by bolts and nuts. A first annular sealing groove 401 is provided at the bottom of the sealing cap 4. A first sealing groove 401 is provided inside the first annular sealing groove 401. The sealing gasket 402 has its bottom end abutting against the top end of the pipe body 3, forming a seal at the connection between the sealing cap 4 and the pipe body 3. A first sealing plug 5 is provided inside the pipe body 3. The outer surface of the first sealing plug 5 abuts against the inner wall of the pipe body 3. The top surface of the first sealing plug 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the sealing cap 4. The first sealing plug 5 and the sealing gasket 4 are integrally formed. A second annular sealing groove 501 is provided on the outer surface of the first sealing plug 5. A second sealing gasket 502 is provided inside the second annular sealing groove 501. The outer wall of the second sealing gasket 502 abuts against the inner wall of the pipe body 3, and the second sealing gasket 502 forms a seal at the connection between the first sealing plug 5 and the pipe body 3.
[0019] The bottom end of the first sealing plug 5 is threadedly connected to the second sealing plug 6. The top end of the second sealing plug 6 is provided with a connecting part. The bottom end of the first sealing plug 5 is provided with a receiving groove. The outer surface of the connecting part is provided with external threads, and the inside of the receiving groove is provided with internal threads. The outer surface of the second sealing plug 6 is provided with a third annular sealing groove 601. The third annular sealing groove 601 is provided with a third sealing gasket 602. The third sealing gasket 602 abuts against the inner wall of the pipeline body 3, forming a seal at the connection between the second sealing plug 6 and the pipeline body 3. The sealing cap 4, the first sealing plug 5, and the second sealing plug 6 form a triple seal at the connection. The first sealing gasket 402, the second sealing gasket 502, and the third sealing gasket 603 form a multi-layer seal from the inside to the outside of the pipeline body 3, which makes the sealing performance better and less likely to cause the measurement results to be affected by external environmental factors due to poor sealing at the connection, thus improving the measurement accuracy.
[0020] A fourth annular sealing groove 603 is provided on the inner wall between the second sealing plug 6 and the measuring rod 2. A fourth sealing gasket 604 is provided inside the fourth annular sealing groove 603. The outer wall of the fourth sealing gasket 6 abuts against the outer surface of the measuring rod 2, forming a seal at the connection between the second sealing plug 6 and the measuring rod 2, further increasing its sealing performance.
[0021] Preferably, the outer surface of the sealing cap 4 and the pipeline body 3 is provided with an annular edging 7 that surrounds the connection between the sealing cap 4 and the pipeline body 3. The annular edging 7 surrounds the connection between the sealing cap 4 and the mounting part of the pipeline body 3, and cooperates with the first sealing plug 4 and the second sealing plug 5 to form a labyrinth-shaped structure at the connection from the inside to the outside, thereby improving its sealing performance.
[0022] Preferably, the annular edging 7 is composed of a first edging 701 and a second edging 702. Both the first edging 701 and the second edging 702 are semi-circular in structure, and the first edging 701 and the second edging 702 are fixedly connected by bolts. The top end of the annular edging 7 abuts against the periphery of the top end of the sealing cap 4, and the bottom end of the annular edging 7 abuts against the periphery of the bottom end of the mounting part of the pipeline body 3.
[0023] Preferably, the annular edging 7 is provided with a sealing gasket 8 that abuts against the outer surface of the sealing cap 4 and the pipeline body 3, and an elastic pressure-resistant body 9 that drives the side wall of the sealing gasket 8 to abut against the outer surface of the sealing cap 4 and the pipeline body 3. One side of the elastic pressure-resistant body 9 abuts against the inner side wall of the annular edging 7, and the other side abuts against the sealing gasket 8. The elastic pressure-resistant body 9 is two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped structures, with the open end of one side abutting against the inner wall of the annular edging 7 and the open end of the other side abutting against the sealing gasket 8. The elastic pressure-resistant body 9 can be made of elastic material such as TPE. When the first edging 701 and the second edging 702 surround the installation part of the sealing cap 4 and the pipeline body 3, they compress the elastic pressure-resistant body 9. The opposing force generated at both ends of the elastic pressure-resistant body 9 makes the sealing gasket 9 fit tightly against the outer surface of the sealing cap 4 and the pipeline body 3, reducing the generation of gaps and improving its sealing performance.
