Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature-sensitive element technology, and more specifically, to a protective structure for temperature-sensitive elements. Background Technology
[0002] Temperature-sensitive element protection structures refer to mechanical and electrical protection devices designed to protect temperature sensors (such as thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors, and thermistors) from environmental factors. The main functions of these protection structures are to ensure temperature measurement accuracy, extend the lifespan of the components, and adapt to various harsh operating environments.
[0003] When a temperature sensor measures the temperature of fluid in a pipeline, the sensor contacts the fluid through its detection head to detect the fluid temperature. However, if there are particles in the fluid, these particles will continuously impact the detection head, causing damage to it. Furthermore, calcium and magnesium salts or oil stains in the fluid will adhere to the surface of the detection head, affecting the accuracy of the temperature sensor. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model;
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 In this utility model: a protective structure for a temperature-sensitive element includes a temperature sensor body 1 and a detection head 2. The right end of the detection head 2 is mounted on the temperature sensor body 1. A mounting block 3 is fixedly connected to the left side of the temperature sensor body 1. The mounting block 3 is sleeved on the detection head 2. A groove 4 is formed on the mounting block 3. A sealing block 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 4. The sealing block 5 is sleeved on the detection head 2 and slidably connected thereto. A spring 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the sealing block 5. The right end of the spring 6 is fixedly connected to the groove 4. Two fixing rods 7 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 4. The sealing block 5 is respectively sleeved on the two fixing rods 7 and the detection head 2 and slidably connected thereto. A filter cylinder 8 is provided on the left side of the sealing block 5. The right side of the filter cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the two fixing rods 7 respectively. A protective barrel 9 is slidably connected to the filter cartridge 8. A drive mechanism 10 is provided on the top of the temperature sensor body 1 to drive the protective barrel 9 to move left and right. A cleaning tube 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective barrel 9. The right end of the cleaning tube 11 passes through and extends into the interior of the filter cartridge 8. Two contact rods 12 are fixedly connected to the right side of the protective barrel 9. The drive mechanism 10 includes a fixing block 101. The bottom of the fixing block 101 is fixedly connected to the temperature sensor body 1. A lead screw 102 is inserted through the fixing block 101 and rotatably connected to it. A motor 103 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixing block 101. The output shaft of the motor 103 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 102. A moving block 104 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 102. The bottom of the moving block 104 is fixedly connected to the protective barrel 9.
[0026] In this invention, after the temperature sensor body 1 is installed, the detection head 2 is located inside the pipe. The fluid in the pipe needs to pass through the filter cylinder 8 to come into contact with the detection head 2. After the detection head 2 comes into contact with the fluid in the pipe, the temperature of the fluid can be measured. When the fluid passes through the filter cylinder 8, the filter cylinder 8 will filter the particulate matter in the fluid, thereby effectively preventing the fluid flow from carrying particulate matter to cause impact damage to the detection head 2, thus achieving the effect of protecting the detection head 2.
[0027] After a period of use, if impurities adhere to the surface of the detection head 2, the motor 103 is first turned on to drive the lead screw 102 to rotate. Then, the moving block 104 will drive the protective barrel 9 to move to the right along the filter cylinder 8. During the movement, the protective barrel 9 will scrape off the particles attached to the surface of the filter cylinder 8, thereby achieving a certain cleaning effect on the filter cylinder 8. At the same time, the cleaning tube 11 will be inserted into the detection head 2. The cleaning tube 11 will slide along the surface of the detection head 2, thereby scraping off the impurities attached to the surface of the detection head 2, achieving a certain cleaning effect on the detection head 2, and thus maintaining the accuracy of the detection head 2 in detecting fluid.
[0028] As the protective barrel 9 moves to the right, the contact rod 12 will come into contact with the sealing block 5. Then, the contact rod 12 will push the sealing block 5 into the groove 4. At this time, the sealing block 5 will lose its seal on the filter cylinder 8, and the impurities scraped out inside the filter cylinder 8 will fall out of the filter cylinder 8, thereby achieving the effect of impurity discharge.
[0029] As the protective barrel 9 moves to the right until it contacts the left side of the mounting block 3, the protective barrel 9 will completely enclose the filter cylinder 8, thereby isolating the detection head 2 from the fluid and achieving the effect of protecting the detection head 2. This prevents the detection head 2 from being affected by the fluid when it is not necessary to detect the fluid temperature, thus improving the protection effect of the detection head 2.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 The left side of the fixed block 101 is fixedly connected to a protective cover 13, which is sleeved on the lead screw 102 and rotatably connected to it. The left end of the lead screw 102 is rotatably connected to the protective cover 13.
[0031] In this invention, the protective cover 13 can protect the lead screw 102, preventing the lead screw 102 from being affected by long-term fluid impact, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0032] Please see Figures 3-5 The cleaning tube 11 is fitted with a closed ring 14 that is fixedly connected to it, and the outer side of the closed ring 14 is in contact with the inner side of the filter cartridge 8.
[0033] In this invention, the closed ring 14 is installed when the cleaning tube 11 cleans the detection head 2 to prevent impurities from moving to the left and entering the filter cartridge 8, thereby improving the subsequent discharge of impurities.
[0034] Please see Figures 1-5 The right side of the fixing block 101 is fixedly connected to the protective box 15, which is sleeved on the motor 103.
[0035] In this invention, the protective box 15 can protect the motor 103, thereby improving the stability of the device.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model; however, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
