Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

Multiple thermocouple temperature measuring devices 100 can be installed as needed. The infrared temperature measuring device 200 has its temperature probe positioned opposite the observation port 700 of the power plant boiler to detect the internal temperature of the boiler.

The thermocouple temperature measuring device 100 of this embodiment also includes a K-type thermocouple 120, which constitutes the temperature measuring probe of the thermocouple temperature measuring device 100.

The other end of the damper 140 is connected to the first magnetic base 110. The position of the K-type thermocouple 120 can be adjusted via the transmission rod 130, thereby adjusting the contact pressure of the K-type thermocouple 120 and ensuring tight contact between the K-type thermocouple 120 and the water-cooled wall tube.
