Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical accessories technology, specifically to a secondary gun probe plug-in. Background Technology
[0002] In the metallurgical process, molten iron or steel needs to be tested. Testing is required at various stages, including in the ironmaking plant, converters, electric furnaces, LF furnaces, RH furnaces, continuous casting tundishes, and VD furnaces. Testing typically involves temperature measurement, sampling, and oxygen determination using different probes. The insert for a bomb-type secondary oxygen determination probe is usually a plastic rod with two contacts on its outer wall. After the insert is inserted into the base, the two contacts connect to form a circuit, enabling temperature, oxygen, or carbon determination. However, existing inserts typically only have one set of contacts on their outer wall, allowing only one function to be connected, which is not practical. Utility Model Content
[0003] In summary, to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a secondary gun probe plug that can simultaneously connect multiple functions.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a secondary gun probe plug, comprising a plug body and a connecting contact piece, wherein one end of the plug body is provided with a plurality of connectors, the outer walls of the plurality of connectors are tapered in a tower shape, the number of connecting contact pieces is the same as the number of connectors, each connector is connected to one connecting contact piece, and the connecting contact piece is provided with a connecting contact piece on the outer wall of the connector.
[0005] With this setup, when using the plug-in, insert the end with the connector head into the base. Since the connector head of the plug-in is tower-shaped, and the socket of the base is also stepped, the plug-in can fit snugly into the stepped socket of the tower shape. The connecting contacts on the outer wall of the connector head will then connect to it, and the circuit can be connected through the connecting contacts to achieve the function. Because multiple connecting contacts are set, more functions can be connected. For example, four connector heads with two sets of connecting contacts can achieve two functions, and six connector heads with three sets of connecting contacts can achieve three functions. Since the outer wall of each connector head is tower-shaped, after insertion, it can be ensured that each connector head stays in the corresponding layer and will not cause misconnection.
[0006] Furthermore, the connecting contact head is bent toward the plug body.
[0007] With this design, the end of the connector will not face the socket of the base, but rather its bent corner will be aligned with the socket. This prevents the end from scraping against the inner wall of the socket during insertion, making it easier to insert.
[0008] Furthermore, the connecting contact head is provided with a bending angle that arches outwards from the connecting head.
[0009] With this design, the contact head will be in a triangular shape with an arch in the middle. This will ensure that the arched bend contacts the inner wall of the socket, preventing it from scratching the inner wall during insertion. The arched contact head also provides elastic force, facilitating insertion while ensuring stability.
[0010] Furthermore, the connector is provided with a connecting groove that is adapted to the position of the connecting contact head.
[0011] With this configuration, the end of the connector will slide within the connecting groove without moving around, resulting in greater stability.
[0012] Furthermore, the connecting contacts on the plurality of connectors are offset from each other in the axial direction of the connector.
[0013] With this configuration, the elastic force of multiple arched connecting contacts will exert a force on the connector from various positions, keeping it in the middle position.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer wall of the connector is provided with connecting ribs.
[0015] This design allows the connecting ribs to reduce the contact area while ensuring the stability of the connection between the connector and the base socket, making insertion easier.
[0016] Furthermore, each connector is provided with two connecting ribs, and the two connecting ribs and the connecting contact are evenly distributed around the outer wall of the connector.
[0017] With this configuration, the two connecting ribs and the connecting head are evenly distributed at 120 degrees to each other on the outer wall of the connector, and are connected by three points to keep the connector in the middle position.
[0018] Furthermore, the edge of the connector facing away from the plug body is chamfered.
[0019] With this design, the end of the connector becomes cone-shaped after beveling, making it easier to insert.
[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a bottom cover, wherein the end of the plug body facing away from the connector is provided with a connection hole, and a connection socket adapted to the connecting contact piece is provided in the connection hole corresponding to the position of each connector. The bottom cover is adapted to the connection hole, and the bottom cover is provided with an installation socket adapted to the connecting contact piece.
[0021] With this setup, during installation, the connecting contact piece can be inserted first through the connecting socket in the connecting hole, and then the mounting socket can be aligned with the connecting contact piece and inserted into the bottom cover. After that, the bottom cover and the connecting contact piece can be connected by glue or other means, making installation more convenient. Moreover, after setting the connecting hole, the main body of the plug is hollow, saving volume and materials.
[0022] Furthermore, the connecting hole is provided with a plurality of ribs surrounding the connecting hole, and the plurality of ribs are connected at the center position of the connecting hole.
[0023] This design allows the interconnected ribs to increase the strength of the hollow insert body and prevent deformation. Attached Figure Description

The arched connecting contact 201 also provides elastic force, facilitating insertion while ensuring stability.
[0036] In this preferred embodiment, the connector 101 is provided with a connecting groove 1011 that is adapted to the position of the connecting contact 201.
[0037] With this configuration, the end of the contact head 201 will slide within the connecting groove 1011 without moving around, resulting in greater stability.

[0040] In this preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the connector 101 is provided with connecting ribs 1012.

[0043] With this configuration, the two connecting ribs 1012 and the connecting contact 201 are evenly distributed at 120 degrees to each other on the outer wall of the connector 101, and are connected by three points to keep the connector 101 in the middle position.
[0044] In this preferred embodiment, the edge of the connector 101 facing away from the plug body 1 is chamfered.
[0045] With this design, the end of connector 101 is tapered after beveling, making it easier to insert.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a bottom cover 3. The plug body 1 has a connection hole 102 at one end facing away from the connector 101. The connection hole 102 has a connection socket 103 that is adapted to the connecting contact piece 2 at the position corresponding to each connector 101. The bottom cover 3 is adapted to the connection hole 102 and has an installation socket 301 that is adapted to the connecting contact piece 2.
[0047] With this setup, during installation, the connecting contact piece 2 can be inserted first through the connecting socket 103 in the connecting hole 102. After insertion, the mounting socket 301 is aligned with the connecting contact piece 2 and inserted into the bottom cover 3. Then, the bottom cover 3 and the connecting contact piece 2 can be connected by glue or other means, making installation more convenient. Furthermore, with the connecting hole 102 set, the main body 1 of the plug-in is hollow, saving volume and materials.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting hole 102 is provided with a plurality of ribs 1021 arranged around the connecting hole 102, and the plurality of ribs 1021 are connected at the center position of the connecting hole 102.
