[0002] An oxygen analyzer is an instrument that uses a matching oxygen probe to perform online measurements on molten iron, molten steel, and other metallic melts. The oxygen analyzer can automatically read the oxygen potential signal, analyze and calculate the content of active oxygen, and can also calculate the content of various equilibrium components through simple operations, and check the measurement records. Measurement results can be obtained quickly on-site.
[0003] Oxygen-concentrated probes are mainly used in the steelmaking process to measure the temperature and oxygen content of molten steel. Currently, oxygen-concentrated probes use a steel tube cast in sand as the outer shell to protect the internal components. The steel tube also serves as the positive electrode of the oxygen cell in the probe. However, the casting process, along with the excessive length of the steel tube and compensating wire, is costly during production. The high-temperature heating required for casting can cause deformation of the internal support and oxidation of metal components, leading to poor contact during measurement. Furthermore, the steel tube, as the positive electrode of the oxygen cell, has high thermal conductivity and high resistance during measurement, resulting in lower measurement accuracy.

A positive dipole wire and a negative dipole wire are inserted into the quartz tube 7. The positive dipole wire and the negative dipole wire are connected. The positive dipole wire is connected to the positive compensation wire 5, and the negative dipole wire is connected to the negative compensation wire 6. An oxygen cell 8 is installed on the bracket 4. The molybdenum needle of the oxygen cell 8 is connected to the negative compensation wire 6 as the negative electrode of the oxygen cell. A positive electrode metal sheet 9 of the oxygen cell is connected to the bracket 4. The positive electrode metal sheet 9 of the oxygen cell is in contact with the inner wall of the upper paper tube 2. A metal ring 10 is inserted into the upper paper tube 2 and is in contact with the positive electrode metal sheet 9 of the oxygen cell. A refractory material 14 is cast inside the upper paper tube 2. The refractory material 14 covers the lower part of the metal ring 10. The top of the quartz tube 7 and the oxygen cell 8 are located above the refractory material 14.
[0021] In this embodiment, an upper paper tube 2 is used to house the support 4. The paper tube is less expensive than traditional steel pipes. A quartz tube 7 is used, containing a positive and a negative dipole wire. A positive compensation wire 5 and a negative compensation wire 6 are embedded in the support 4 to form a thermocouple. An oxygen cell 8 and a positive electrode metal sheet 9 are placed on the support 4. The molybdenum needle of the oxygen cell 8 is connected to the negative compensation wire 6 as the negative electrode of the oxygen cell, and the positive electrode metal sheet 9 serves as the positive electrode. In use, the positive electrode metal sheet 9, the positive compensation wire 5, and the negative compensation wire 6 are all connected to the oxygen analyzer. In this way, the positive electrode metal sheet 9 replaces the traditional steel pipe as the positive electrode of the oxygen cell. The positive electrode metal sheet 9 is designed to be small in size, low in cost, and low in resistance, which can reduce resistance and improve measurement accuracy during the measurement process. Furthermore, by integrating all the structures on the support 4, the product size can be greatly reduced, thus reducing the transportation space occupied.
[0022] In this embodiment, a metal ring 10 is arranged to contact the positive electrode metal sheet 9 of the oxygen battery, and together with the positive electrode metal sheet 9, it serves as the positive electrode of the oxygen battery, thereby increasing the contact area between the positive electrode of the oxygen battery and the molten steel and improving the measurement effect of the positive electrode of the oxygen battery.
[0023] In this embodiment, the molybdenum needle of the oxygen cell 8 is welded to the negative electrode compensation wire 6 by means of a metal wire or sheet.
[0024] In this embodiment, an mounting plate 12 is provided inside the upper paper tube 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, one end of the oxygen cell positive electrode metal sheet 9 is connected to the side wall of the groove. The oxygen cell positive electrode metal sheet 9 bypasses the bottom wall of the bracket 4 and adheres to the side wall of the bracket 4 and the inner wall of the upper paper tube 2, then bypasses the top wall of the upper paper tube 2 and adheres to the outer wall of the upper paper tube 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, a notch is made in the compensation wire, and the positive electrode metal sheet 9 of the oxygen battery is wide in the middle and narrow on both sides, which can extend the heat conduction path, make the heat conduction slower, and make the thermoelectric potential more stable.

The metal protective sleeve 11 is provided in this embodiment to protect the components inside the upper paper tube 2 under normal conditions. The metal protective sleeve 11 will melt during the molten steel measurement process. The through hole in the top wall of the metal protective sleeve 11 allows molten steel to quickly enter the protective cap 2 and contact the measuring components when the metal protective sleeve 11 has not melted during the measurement process.
[0031] The portion of the positive electrode metal sheet 9 and metal ring 10 of the oxygen battery that is cast by the refractory material 14 is protected by the refractory material 14 and will not melt, thus serving as the positive electrode of the oxygen battery.
[0032] This embodiment also includes a lower paper tube 1 and an outer paper tube 3. The bottom wall of the upper paper tube 2 contacts the top wall of the lower paper tube 1, and the bottom end of the bracket 4 enters the lower paper tube 1.
