Description
1 TARIFF COOLER HOUSING USED FOR THERMOCOUPLES FOR TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT FIXING APPARATUS Technical Area 5 The invention relates to thermocouples used in the testing and quality control processes of refrigeration cabinets. It is related to. The invention specifically applies to 10 applications used in the testing and quality control processes of refrigeration cabinets. thermocouples are secured to the refrigerator cabinet body and used to secure refrigerators. to conduct performance evaluations accurately and reliably It relates to a fixing device that provides this. State of the Art 15 Different methods are used in the industry to measure surface / ambient temperatures, depending on the application conditions. Thermocouple measurement sensors are available. Thermocouples are used for temperature measurement. It is a sensor used. The working principle of a thermocouple is basically based on two different metal wires. By connecting the ends together, an electrical current is generated based on the temperature difference between the ends. It is based on the principle of generating voltage. This voltage is proportional to a specific temperature and By using it in the environment where the temperature is to be measured, an accurate temperature reading is obtained. In current practices, thermocouples are generally used in the testing processes of refrigerator cabinets. by drilling holes in the bodies of refrigerator cabinets and passing the thread through them 25 These applications are used to ensure accurate thermocouple outputs in the refrigerator. inability to secure it properly or air leaks caused by gaps in the probes This causes deviations in test results. Furthermore, thermocouples... Damage during fastening is a common problem. Also, drilling. The gaps remaining in the cabinet bodies where the process was carried out and inadequate insulation caused the thermocouples to malfunction. This affects the cabin temperature measurements by being influenced by the outside temperature. This causes inconsistencies in the refrigerator's performance. This negatively affects the evaluation and energy efficiency analyses. Together, thermocouples that pass through the body of the refrigerator, inside the refrigerator The metal material from which the cabinet is made can be damaged during the process of passing it through. This affects both 35 This prevents reliable results from being obtained and also causes thermocouples to frequently malfunction. 2 It increases costs because it needs to be modified. Therefore... In the known state of the art, in the testing and quality control processes of refrigeration cabinets Eliminating the problems encountered in securing the thermocouples used to the cabinet. It was necessary to remove it. In conclusion, the existence of the above problems and the inadequacy of the current solutions, This has made it necessary to make improvements in the technical field. Purpose of the Invention The present invention eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and the related technical Cooling thermocouples used for temperature measurement, which brings new advantages to the field. It relates to the mounting bracket on the body. The main purpose of the invention is to ensure that thermocouples are fixed in the correct position in the refrigerator. 15 and protects it from external environmental influences and prevents it from being damaged. The goal is to install a fixing device. The purpose of the invention is to allow passage through an opening in the side panel of the refrigerator cabinet. 20 The aim is to create a fixing device that prevents error rates in measurements by providing a fixing mechanism. Another objective of the invention is to investigate the effect of outside temperature on the cabin temperature. minimizing, preventing movements that may occur during testing and measurement The goal is to develop a fixing device that increases its sensitivity. 25 Another aim of the invention is to protect thermocouples from physical shocks during testing. a fixing device that minimizes the risk of damage that may occur during the process to reveal. Another purpose of the invention is to protect thermocouples from the external environment thanks to its gasket structure. by isolating it from external temperatures, it increases the accuracy of indoor temperature measurements. The goal is to install a fixing device. 3 Another purpose of the invention is to mount it quickly and securely onto the refrigerator cabinet body. This resulted in a fixing device that saves time during the testing process. to place. It fulfills all the purposes stated above and those that can be derived from the detailed explanation. 5 The invention aims to enable the testing and quality control processes of refrigeration cabinets. enabling the thermocouples used to be fixed to the refrigerator cabinet body It is a fixing device, - thermocouples that connect to the refrigerator cabinet body a plastic casing that attaches to the body, 10 - thermocouples located on the body and placed inside the body It includes a positioning hole that allows it to be positioned inside. It is related. The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in Figure 15 below. And thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures, it becomes clearer. This will be understood as such. Therefore, the evaluation should also include these forms and detailed explanations. This should be done taking that into consideration.
