[0020] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the waterproof screw thread type thermocouple comprises a cold end 1, one end of the cold end 1 is provided with a hot end 2, a flange plate 3 and an external thread structure are installed on one end of the cold end 1 close to the hot end 2, two mounting rings 4 are fixedly connected to two ends of the cold end 1 respectively, two groups of semicylindrical protective shells 5 are clamped between the two groups of mounting rings 4, a sealing strip 7 is arranged on each contact surface of the two groups of semicylindrical protective shells 5 and the two groups of mounting rings 4, mounting plates 6 are fixedly connected to edges of the two groups of semicylindrical protective shells 5, the two groups of mounting plates 6 are fixed through a first cross screw 10, wire winding drums 8 are connected to one side of the two groups of semicylindrical protective shells 5, a cable 9 passes through the wire winding drum 8 on one side of the hot end 2, and a limiting assembly for fixing the cable 9 is arranged on the wire winding drum 8.
[0021] In use, the cold end 1 is fixed on the pipeline temperature measuring point through the flange 3, and the outer threaded structure is tightened to realize mechanical sealing, and the position of the hot end 2 is adjusted to ensure that the depth of the hot end 2 inserted into the inner wall of the pipeline meets the specification. Then, the two sets of semi-cylindrical protective shells 5 are clamped to the mounting ring 4, and after the mounting plate 6 is aligned, the first cross screw 10 is tightened to form a closed cavity. In this step, when the two sets of semi-cylindrical protective shells 5 are aligned, the cable 9 is passed through the wire arrangement cylinder 8, and the installation of the thermocouple is completed. At this time, based on the sealing effect of the junction box in the wiring area, the semi-cylindrical protective shell 5 forms a double waterproof barrier through the sealing strip 7 and the first cross screw 10, which can greatly reduce the condensate penetration failure rate.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the limiting assembly includes a bracket 11 fixed to the outer wall of the wire arrangement cylinder 8 away from the semi-cylindrical protective shell 5, and a threaded rod 12 is threaded through the other end of the bracket 11. One end of the threaded rod 12 is rotatably connected to a clamping plate 14, and one end of the clamping plate 14 is connected to a guide rod 13 that slides through the inside of the bracket 11. In use, by rotating the two threaded rods 12 and under the guidance of the guide rod 13, the two clamping plates 14 are controlled to move closer to each other, and the cable 9 extending from the wire arrangement cylinder 8 is clamped and fixed. Since the bracket 11 is fixed to the wire arrangement cylinder 8, a fixed reference point relative to the cold end 1 of the thermocouple can be formed, and under the clamping action of the clamping plate 14, the clamping point of the clamping plate 14 forms a rigid anchor point, so that when the thermocouple vibrates and displaces, the cable 9 and the cold end 1 connection will not be dragged, reducing the loosening of the cable 9 and the cold end 1 connection caused by the vibration and displacement of the thermocouple.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the area between the cable 9 and the clamping plate 14 is provided with a plug-in male end 15 and a plug-in female end 16, and the plug-in male end 15 and the plug-in female end 16 are connected in a plug-in electrical connection. In use, when the thermocouple is damaged, only the connection between the plug-in male end 15 and the plug-in female end 16 needs to be disconnected, and the thermocouple can be replaced individually, achieving the effect of quickly disassembling the thermocouple and the cable 9. Compared with the traditional welding connection, the cable 9 needs to be cut and re-welded, which can shorten the maintenance time.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 4As shown, both ends of the cold end 1, which is away from the semi-cylindrical protective shell 5, are fixedly connected with limiting rings 17. A sliding ring 18 is slidably connected between the two sets of limiting rings 17 on the cold end 1. Multiple sets of return springs 19 are arranged around the sliding ring 18 and the set of limiting rings 17 near the semi-cylindrical protective shell 5. A conical sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding ring 18, and a sealing ring 21 is provided at the other end of the conical sleeve 20. The conical sleeve 20 is made of deformable high-temperature resistant material. A connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the edge of the set of limiting rings 17 near the semi-cylindrical protective shell 5. A second cross screw 23 is installed on the connecting plate 22.
[0025] During operation, the connecting plate 22 is connected to the slip ring 18 by the second cross screw 23, which restricts the initial position of the tapered sleeve 20 and prevents the tapered sleeve 20 from obstructing the installation between the hot end 2 and the equipment. After the thermocouple is installed, the second cross screw 23 is rotated to disengage one end from the slip ring 18. Under the elastic action of multiple sets of return springs 19, the tapered sleeve 20 is pushed to contact the outer wall of the equipment through the sealing ring 21, which improves the sealing performance of the connection between the hot end 2 and the equipment and covers the exposed part of the connection between the two, reducing the corrosion caused by external moisture to the connection, such as the flange 3 and the threaded surface of the external thread structure or the mounting bolts.
[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application in any way. Although this application has disclosed the preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this application. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this application without departing from the content of the technical solution of this application shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this application.
