During use, thermocouples need to be stably fixed in the measuring position to ensure accuracy and reliability. However, in harsh environments such as high temperature, high pressure, or vibration, traditional thermocouple fixing methods often suffer from problems such as insecure fixing, easy loosening, and inaccurate measurements. Existing thermocouple mounts also have limitations such as limited adjustment range, insufficient shock resistance, or complex structures. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a thermocouple mount that combines high stability, rapid installation, wide adaptability, and resistance to extreme environments to meet the increasingly demanding accuracy and reliability requirements for temperature monitoring in industrial settings.

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] See Figures 1 to 6 The thermocouple mounting bracket provided in this embodiment includes a thermocouple mounting bracket body 1 and a fixing mechanism 2 and a fixing hole 3 disposed on the thermocouple mounting bracket body 1.
[0035] The fixing mechanism 2 includes: threaded sleeve 21, threaded rod 22, and outer support block 23;
[0036] The threaded sleeve 21 is disposed through the thermocouple fixing frame body 1. The threaded sleeve 21 is provided with internal threads, and the threads of the threaded sleeve 21 are matched with the threaded rod 22.
[0037] One end of the threaded rod 22 is connected to an outer support block 23; by rotating the threaded rod 22, the outer support block 23 can be moved back and forth, thereby adjusting the support position of the outer support block 23 and playing a flexible fixing role.
[0038] The fixing hole 3 is a threaded through hole provided on the thermocouple mounting bracket body 1, used to fix and install the thermocouple.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the thermocouple mounting base is installed in the fixing hole 3, and the thermocouple is adjusted to a suitable installation position; then, by rotating the threaded rod 22, the position of the outer support block 23 is adjusted, so as to fix the thermocouple fixing frame body 1 in a circular or square space environment.
[0040] This embodiment achieves three core advantages in thermocouple installation—flexible adaptability, high reliability, and convenient operation—through various structural improvements and the combination of a threaded adjustment mechanism and a threaded fixing hole. It directly addresses the comprehensive needs of industrial scenarios for thermocouple fixing in terms of stability, efficiency, and cost control. Its design is particularly suitable for fields such as high-temperature and high-vibration metal processing, kilns, and semiconductor equipment, providing a solid guarantee for accurate temperature monitoring.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] See Figures 1 to 6 The thermocouple holder provided in this embodiment is an improvement based on embodiment 1;
[0043] The thermocouple mounting frame body 1 has a circular or square structure, and the fixing mechanism 2 and fixing hole 3 are provided on the side of the thermocouple mounting frame body 1.
[0044] Optionally, a spring is provided inside the threaded sleeve 21 of the fixing mechanism 2; during installation, the spring not only facilitates installation but also prevents the threaded rod 22 from shifting during vibration, and also plays a role in vibration damping, preventing the thermocouple fixing bracket body 1 from slipping off due to collision.
[0045] Optionally, the thermocouple or resistance temperature detector (RTD) can be installed in the fixing hole 3 inside the thermocouple mounting bracket body 1, or it can be installed on the threaded rod 22, and can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation.
[0046] Optionally, the mounting hole 3 adopts a standardized interface, which is compatible with more thermocouple installations.
[0047] This embodiment, through various structural improvements, can not only install thermocouples and RTDs, but also provide support and reinforcement for the installation location. By setting the fixing mechanism 2 as a built-in spring, the positioning can be quickly completed by compressing the mechanism during installation, and it can also prevent the threaded rod 22 from shifting during vibration. This design simplifies the operation process and is especially suitable for scenarios with limited space or frequent disassembly and assembly, significantly shortening the operation time. After compression, the spring provides continuous preload, effectively absorbing mechanical vibration or external impact, and preventing the thermocouple fixing bracket body 1 from slipping due to collision.
[0048] Example 3
[0049] See Figures 1 to 6 The thermocouple holder provided in this embodiment is an improvement based on Embodiments 1 and 2;
[0050] The fixing mechanism 2 further includes: an inner support block 24; the inner support block 24 is disposed at one end of the inner side of the threaded rod 22; the inner support block 24 is located inside the thermocouple fixing frame body 1 and can directly contact and support the thermocouple.
[0051] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the location to be measured is a round tube, square tube, or other tubular object, the object to be measured can be passed through the inside of the thermocouple holder body 1. Then, the outer support block 23 is rotated, which drives the inner support block 24 to move inward, so that the object to be measured can be reliably fixed. After adjusting the position of the thermocouple, it can work stably for a long time.
[0052] This embodiment improves the structure in many ways. During operation, you only need to pass the tube to be tested through the body 1 and rotate the threaded rod 22 to simultaneously tighten the outer support block 23 against the tube wall and the inner support block 24 with thermocouples. This reduces the number of adjustment steps and improves the installation efficiency by more than 60%. The bidirectional clamping structure provides continuous pre-tightening force to resist thermal expansion and contraction and mechanical vibration, avoids frequent readjustment due to loosening, and reduces maintenance costs.
[0053] Example 4

[0055] The thermocouple mounting body 1 includes two semi-circular mounting brackets 4; the two semi-circular mounting brackets 4 are magnetically attached or otherwise movable; the two semi-circular mounting brackets 4 have the same shape and structure.
[0056] The semi-circular fixing frame 4, when movably connected, forms a complete thermocouple fixing frame body 1;
[0057] This embodiment features several structural improvements. The thermocouple mounting bracket body 1 is composed of two semi-circular mounting brackets 4, which can be quickly assembled into a whole through magnetic attraction or other movable connection methods. This design solves the problem of traditional integral mounting brackets requiring insertion from the end of the pipe or equipment, and is particularly suitable for installation in the middle section of closed or long-distance pipelines. Installation can be completed by opening and closing the semi-circular brackets directly at the target location without disassembling the pipeline or interrupting equipment operation, significantly reducing construction difficulty and downtime risk.

[0060] A reinforcing mechanism 5 is provided on the outer side of the semi-circular fixing frame 4;
[0061] The reinforcement mechanism 5 includes: a reinforcement connecting piece 51 and a connecting shaft 52;
[0062] Optionally, the two reinforcing connecting pieces 51 are respectively connected to the connecting shaft 52;
[0063] Optionally, one end of each of the two reinforcing connecting pieces 51 is provided with a nut 54; the nut 54 is threadedly connected by a connecting bolt 56; the nut 54 is provided with a screw hole 55; the bolt 56 connecting the nut 54 and the screw hole 55 is a fastener used to fix the reinforcing connecting piece 51 to the thermocouple mounting body 1; the reinforcing mechanism 5 is used to enhance the structural stability of the entire mounting frame, ensuring that the thermocouple can remain stable under high temperature, high pressure or vibration environment, and improving the accuracy and reliability of measurement.
[0064] This embodiment improves upon the rapid installation and precise clamping advantages of the aforementioned embodiments through various structural improvements, achieving reliability under extreme working conditions. The rigid frame and thermal expansion matching design ensure zero structural deformation under high temperature and pressure; vibration immunity, vibration energy transmission and damping mechanisms eliminate the root cause of measurement errors; and safety redundancy, with mechanical interlocks to prevent detachment, covers high-risk scenarios such as nuclear power and chemical industries.

[0068] Optionally, multiple fixing mechanisms 2 and multiple fixing holes 3 are provided on all sides of the thermocouple mounting body 1.
[0069] Through hole 53 provides an independent channel for thermocouple connections, avoiding direct friction with the outer support block 23 or metal structure, thus reducing the risk of wire breakage; quick maintenance is possible, as the open design of through hole 53 allows for cable replacement without disassembling the entire mounting bracket, shortening maintenance time; the reinforcement mechanism can be replaced separately, reducing operation and maintenance costs.
[0070] In summary, the above embodiments of this utility model, through various structural improvements and the combination of a threaded adjustment mechanism and a threaded fixing hole, achieve three core advantages in thermocouple installation: flexible adaptability, high reliability, and convenient operation.
