Thermal imagers, as key equipment for monitoring temperature distribution in kilns, can monitor temperature changes in real time at high temperatures, helping to optimize production processes and prevent accidents.
[0003] High-temperature thermal imagers are used for inspection in harsh environments, especially inside industrial kilns. However, the harsh environment, such as high temperature, dust, and corrosive gases, poses a challenge to the long-term stable operation of thermal imagers and can easily cause them to be damaged and unable to work. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop protection devices for high-temperature thermal imagers.
[0004] To effectively solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a protection device for a high-temperature thermal imager in an industrial kiln. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a protection device for high-temperature thermal imagers in industrial kilns, which effectively protects the high-temperature thermal imagers and thus extends the lifespan of the device.
[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is as follows: a high-temperature thermal imager protection device for industrial kilns, including a kiln wall, a base fixedly installed on one side of the kiln wall, a mounting shell and a mounting tube fixedly installed on one side of the base, an internal protective tube fixedly penetrating the inside of the kiln wall, a first protective shell slidably installed inside the internal protective tube, a second protective shell fixedly installed on one side of the first protective shell via a flange, a high-temperature thermal imager fixedly installed inside the first protective shell, a pinhole thermal imager lens fixedly installed on one side of the high-temperature thermal imager, a signal interface fixedly installed on one side of the second protective shell, and also including protective components.
[0007] The protective components are housed inside the mounting housing.
[0008] The protective assembly includes a telescopic cylinder fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the mounting housing. A connecting rod is fixedly installed between the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder and the protective housing. Reinforcing rods are fixedly installed between the two sides of the connecting rod and the protective housing.
[0009] In some embodiments, a groove is provided at the bottom of the mounting housing, the connecting rod slides in the groove, and a control plate is fixedly installed on the inner sidewall of the other end of the mounting housing.

[0011] In some embodiments, cooling gas pipe one and cooling gas pipe two are fixedly connected to the mounting pipe and the protective shell one, respectively.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the significant advantages of this invention are:
[0013] Firstly, this utility model significantly improves cooling efficiency through air-cooling design, ensuring stable operation of the thermal imager in high-temperature environments. Secondly, intelligent monitoring: real-time monitoring and early warning are achieved through temperature sensors and a PLC control system, enhancing equipment safety and extending equipment lifespan. Thirdly, the insulation material and multi-layered protective structure effectively reduce damage to the equipment from high temperatures, extending its service life.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0023] This utility model provides an improved protection device for high-temperature thermal imagers in industrial kilns. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a high-temperature thermal imager protection device for an industrial kiln includes a kiln wall 1, a base 2 fixedly installed on one side of the kiln wall 1, a mounting shell 3 and a mounting tube 10 fixedly installed on one side of the base 2, an internal protective tube 5 fixedly penetrating the interior of the kiln wall 1, a protective shell 4 slidably installed inside the internal protective tube 5, a protective shell 6 fixedly installed on one side of the protective shell 4 via a flange, a high-temperature thermal imager 20 fixedly installed inside the protective shell 4, a pinhole thermal imager lens 19 fixedly installed on one side of the high-temperature thermal imager 20, a signal interface 7 fixedly installed on one side of the protective shell 6, and a protection component. The protective shells 4 and 6 enhance the protection of the internal high-temperature thermal imager 20, while the mounting shell 3 and mounting tube 10 improve the stability of the device installation.
[0025] The protective and retraction components are located inside the mounting housing 3.
[0026] The protective assembly includes a telescopic cylinder 12 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting housing 3. A connecting rod 15 is fixedly installed between the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 12 and the protective housing 4. Reinforcing rods 16 are fixedly installed between the two sides of the connecting rod 15 and the protective housing 4. The telescopic cylinder 12 moves the high-temperature thermal imager 20 at the bottom through the connecting rod 15, thereby improving the protection effect of the high-temperature thermal imager 20 and preventing the device from being affected by excessive temperature.
[0027] Furthermore, a sliding groove 17 is provided at the bottom of the mounting housing 3, and the connecting rod 15 slides in the sliding groove 17. A control plate 11 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the other end of the mounting housing 3. The control plate 11 can improve the automation level of the protection components, thereby reducing the workload of the staff.
[0028] Furthermore, a cylinder extension pipe connector 13 and a cylinder retraction pipe connector 14 are fixedly connected to one side of the telescopic cylinder 12. Both the cylinder extension pipe connector 13 and the cylinder retraction pipe connector 14 are fixedly connected to one side of the mounting housing 3. The cylinder extension pipe connector 13 and the cylinder retraction pipe connector 14 enable the telescopic cylinder 12 to work stably, thereby enabling the protection component to work normally.
[0029] Furthermore, cooling gas pipe 18 and cooling gas pipe 29 are fixedly connected to the mounting pipe 10 and the protective shell 14 respectively. The cooling gas pipe 18 and cooling gas pipe 29 can greatly reduce the internal temperature of the device, thereby preventing the high-temperature thermal imager 20 from being affected by high temperature and failing to work properly.
[0030] The specific working method is as follows: First, the automatic valve on the installation pipe 10 is opened, and air is introduced through the cylinder into the air pipe connector 13, which makes the telescopic cylinder 12 work, moving the high-temperature thermal imager 20. After the high-temperature thermal imager 20 and the pinhole thermal imager lens 19 are moved to the appropriate position, the detected data is fed back to the staff through the signal interface 7, which facilitates the detection of the inside of the industrial kiln. Then, the cooling air pipe 1 8 and the cooling air pipe 2 9 are used to continuously supply cold air to the inside of the device, thereby ensuring that the equipment can work normally. When the temperature sensor 18 detects that the internal temperature is too high and may affect the normal operation of the high-temperature thermal imager 20, the control board 11 controls the telescopic cylinder 12 to retract, thereby moving the high-temperature thermal imager 20 back, thus ensuring that the device is withdrawn from the kiln wall 1 and avoiding damage to the equipment due to excessive temperature.
[0031] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those described above, but also include technical solutions composed of equivalent substitutions of the above technical features. Matters not covered in this utility model are common knowledge to those skilled in the art.
