[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a thermocouple fixing structure for surface temperature measurement or thin plate-like main structures includes a thermocouple groove 2 disposed on any surface of a plate 1. The thermocouple groove 2 can be designed with any curved shape and distributed on the surface of the plate 1 as needed. A tail fixing position 3 is provided at one end of the thermocouple groove 2, distributed along the edge of the plate 1. Its main purpose is to optimize the lead-out path of the thermocouple wire. This included angle allows the wire to smoothly transition from the groove to the tail fixing area, effectively avoiding excessive stress concentration caused by right-angle or acute-angle bends at the lead-out point. This smooth transition significantly reduces the risk of fatigue fracture of the wire's metal core or insulation layer due to repeated bending under long-term use, improving the service life of the wire and the reliability of the connection.

[0028] The remaining end of the thermocouple wire groove 2 is provided with a probe fixing position 4. A probe stop 41 is also provided at the connection between the probe fixing position 4 and the thermocouple wire groove 2. The thickness of the probe stop 41 is less than the groove depth of the thermocouple wire groove 2.

[0029] The tail fixing position 3 is designed to secure the end of the thermocouple wire, including a clamping device to ensure the wire remains secure within the slot. The probe fixing position 4 is specifically designed to accommodate and fix the thermocouple's temperature probe body. Its shape is typically adapted to the probe's profile, such as a circular groove or a square holder, and may be equipped with a spring-loaded snap or pressure plate structure for reliable fixation. The probe stop 41, with its raised or stepped structure, precisely limits the insertion depth of the temperature probe along the slot direction, ensuring the probe tip reaches the predetermined temperature measurement point. Simultaneously, because its thickness is less than the slot depth, the cover plate or filler can smoothly cover the entire slot path, completely protecting the thermocouple and its wires within the slot, preventing external damage and improving the stability and accuracy of temperature measurement. The entire fixing structure allows for flexible wiring of the thermocouple according to the temperature field distribution on the plate surface, and through precise fixing and limiting design, it ensures the positional accuracy of the temperature measurement point and the reliability of long-term use.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, several wire-clamping blocks 5 are respectively provided on both sides of the thermocouple wire groove 2 along the direction of the thermocouple wire groove 2, which have multiple implementation schemes:

[0031] 1. The wire clamping blocks 5 on one side of the thermocouple wire groove 2 are symmetrically distributed with the wire clamping blocks 5 on the other side.

[0032] 2. The wire clamping block 5 on one side of the thermocouple wire groove 2 is staggered with the wire clamping block 5 on the other side.

[0033] Furthermore, the side of the wire clamping block 5 facing the thermocouple groove 2 is a plane or curved surface connected to the side wall of the thermocouple groove 2; when the side of the wire clamping block 5 facing the thermocouple groove 2 is a plane connected to the side wall of the thermocouple groove 2, this embodiment provides two design schemes:

[0034] 1. The side of the wire clamping block 5 facing the thermocouple groove 2 is flush with the side wall of the thermocouple groove 2.

[0035] 2. The side of the wire clamping block 5 facing the thermocouple groove 2 is distributed at an angle to the side wall of the thermocouple groove 2.

[0036] The core function of the wire clamping block 5 is to assist in the positioning and constraint of the thermocouple wires located within the thermocouple wire groove 2, preventing them from shifting or excessively bending within the groove. When the side of the wire clamping block 5 facing the groove is flat and flush with the groove sidewall, this flat surface forms a natural extension or reinforcing rib of the groove sidewall, creating a regular cable channel, suitable for scenarios with strict requirements for the straightness of the wire arrangement. When this flat surface is distributed at an angle to the groove sidewall, it can provide additional guidance or limiting support at locations where the wire needs to turn or branch. Regardless of whether a symmetrical or staggered distribution is used, these wire clamping blocks 5 can effectively restrict the wires to a predetermined trajectory within the groove, and work in conjunction with any subsequent cover plates or fillers to ensure that the wires remain stable and orderly throughout the entire path, thereby improving the reliability of the temperature measurement signal and the durability of long-term use.

[0037] And, as Figures 3-4 As shown, the top surface of the wire clamping block 5 is flush with the surface of the plate 1, ensuring that after the thermocouple wires are constrained by the wire clamping block 5 and laid in the thermocouple wire groove 2, the upper surface of the entire thermocouple wire groove 2 area (including the wire clamping block 5 itself) is at the same level as the original surface of the plate 1. This design brings multiple advantages:

[0038] First, it eliminates the need for separate slotting or trimming of the protruding wire clip 5, simplifying the packaging process and ensuring the continuity and integrity of the board 1 surface. Second, the flush surface minimizes the impact on the original function or appearance of the board 1, avoiding problems such as scratches, dust accumulation, or increased fluid resistance that may be caused by structural protrusions.

[0039] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
