Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compensation device technology, and in particular to a high-precision thermocouple cold junction compensation device. Background Technology

[0002] Thermocouples are based on the Seebeck effect: when there is a temperature difference between the two ends of two different metals, a thermoelectric potential (voltage) is generated. The output voltage actually reflects the temperature difference between the hot junction (measuring junction) and the cold junction (reference junction), rather than the absolute temperature of the hot junction. Therefore, to obtain the true temperature of the hot junction, the accurate temperature of the cold junction must be known. When the temperature of the cold junction is unstable, it will cause the measured temperature to deviate from the actual temperature, thus affecting its use. Therefore, this solution proposes a high-precision thermocouple cold junction compensation device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 Shown:

[0032] Example 1;

[0033] A high-precision thermocouple cold junction compensation device, comprising:

[0034] Base 1;

[0035] Box 2, Box 2 is set on top of base 1;

[0036] Placement component 3 is located on the top of housing 2 and is used to place the cold junction of the thermocouple.

[0037] Thermometer 5 is located on the top of box 2;

[0038] Stirring component 4 is located at the bottom of the housing 2;

[0039] Heating plate 6 is located at the bottom of the chamber 2 and is used to control the temperature inside the chamber 2.

[0040] It should be noted that the enclosure 2 is used to store liquid, and the heating plate 6 is an existing heating device that converts electrical energy into heat energy. Its working principle is that when current passes through the built-in high-resistance alloy heating element (such as nichrome wire), heat is generated due to the resistance effect, and the heat is transferred to the enclosure 2 to heat the liquid inside the enclosure 2. The stirring component 4 is used to stir the liquid inside the enclosure 2. The thermometer 5 is an existing electric heating thermometer. The resistance thermometer is a high-precision temperature measuring instrument based on the principle that the resistance of a metal conductor changes with temperature. It is used to detect the temperature inside the enclosure 1. In use, liquid is first introduced into the enclosure 2, the temperature of the liquid inside the enclosure 2 is controlled by the heating plate 6, and the temperature inside the enclosure 2 is monitored by the thermometer 5. The cold junction of the thermocouple is inserted into the placement component 3 to stabilize the temperature of the cold junction of the thermocouple.

[0041] Specifically, an inlet pipe 201 is inserted and connected to the top of the box body 2, and a first valve 202 is provided in the middle of the inlet pipe 201. An outlet pipe 203 is inserted and connected to the bottom of the box body 2, and a second valve 204 is provided in the middle of the outlet pipe 203.

[0042] It should be noted that the first valve 202 and the second valve 204 are both existing ball valves used to control the flow of liquid in the inlet pipe 201 and the outlet pipe 203. During use, both the first valve 202 and the second valve 204 are closed to prevent liquid from entering and exiting the tank 2. When it is necessary to replace the liquid inside the tank 2, first open the second valve 204 to drain the liquid inside the tank 2, then close the second valve 204, open the first valve 202, and inject the liquid into the tank 2. After the injection is completed, close the first valve 202.

[0043] Specifically, component 3 includes:

[0044] Mounting plate 301 is inserted and connected to the top of the housing 2;

[0045] Test tube 302 is inserted and connected to the middle of mounting plate 301, and thermal grease 303 is installed inside test tube 302;

[0046] Clip 304 is inserted and connected to the middle of test tube 302.

[0047] It should be noted that the clamp 304 is made of existing deformable alloy material and is fixed inside the test tube 302. When it is necessary to fix the position of the cold end of the thermocouple, the cold end of the thermocouple is directly inserted into the inside of the test tube 302, and the cold end of the thermocouple is clamped and restricted inside the test tube 302 by multiple clamps 304. The thermal grease 303 is a highly thermally conductive paste-like semi-fluid material used to enhance heat transfer.

[0048] Example 2;

[0049] The stirring component 4 is used in the compensation device in Example 1;

[0050] Specifically, the stirring component 4 includes:

[0051] A stirring shaft 402 is inserted and connected to the inner wall at the bottom of the housing 2;

[0052] A stirring blade 403 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 402.

[0053] Motor 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of stirring shaft 402.

[0054] Specifically, the top of the base 1 has a first mounting groove 101, and the motor 401 is inserted into the inside of the first mounting groove 101. The top of the base 1 has a second mounting groove 102, and the heating plate 6 is inserted into the inside of the second mounting groove 102.

[0055] It should be noted that the motor 401 is an existing servo motor. In use, the motor 401 drives the stirring shaft 402 to rotate, and the stirring shaft 402 drives the stirring fan blades 403 to stir inside the tank 2, thereby agitating the liquid inside the tank 2.

[0056] Specifically, a sealing ring 7 is provided at the connection between the stirring shaft 402 and the housing 2. The sealing ring 7 is used to seal the connection between the motor 401 and the housing 2.

[0057] It should be noted that the sealing ring 7 is made of rubber. During use, the sealing ring 7 is deformed by the extrusion of the stirring shaft 402, and the deformed sealing ring 7 seals the connection between the stirring shaft 402 and the box 2, preventing the liquid inside the box 2 from overflowing from the connection between the stirring shaft 402 and the box 2.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
