1 TARIFF IMPROVEMENTS IN BIMETAL THERMOMETERS Technical Area This invention eliminates the production and assembly difficulties of the bimetal thermometer (Figure 1), and In order to facilitate maintenance and service operations, mechanism (5) is added and this 2 mechanism-body for fixing the element to the bimetal thermometer body (3) The aim is to make the work easier and shorter by adding the bust (7). 10 State of the Art In current technology, bimetal thermometers are a type of thermometer used to measure temperature. These thermometers are bimetallic thermometers, made by using two different metals together. It consists of strips. Bimetallic strips are made by using two different metal sheets together. It is a material. This material tends to expand or contract depending on the temperature. Bimetal thermometers are particularly useful because of their nature of responding to temperature changes. They are frequently used in industrial settings. These thermometers display temperature changes using a 20-degree indicator. It operates through a series of mechanical movements culminating in an indicator. Automatic temperature control systems, ovens, refrigerators, air conditioning systems, boilers, medical devices requiring temperature measurement, and Like other industrial devices, it is used in many areas. Bimetal thermometer measuring system; two welded 25mm bimetals with different coefficients of thermal expansion. It consists of a metal strip. The helical or spiral shape of the bimetal strip changes with temperature. It creates rotational motion when its rotation changes. Since one end of the bimetallic spiral is fixed, the other end... It makes the thermometer rotate by moving its needle. Bimetal thermometers get their name basically from the bimetallic strip at the tip that makes contact with the temperature. It receives the heat from the strip. The bimetal strip converts the temperature change into mechanical displacement. It is a tool used for this purpose. It expands to different shades when heated; it is usually made of steel or... It consists of two different metal strips, sometimes made of copper, and sometimes brass. The strips are joined end-to-end by riveting, soldering, or welding. 35 Different expansions occur when the metal is heated, causing the flat strip to move in one direction. It forces bending; however, if the temperature drops below the initial level, the bending reverses. 2 This forces it to develop. With a higher coefficient of thermal expansion, the metal; when the strip is heated or inside When the portion is cooled, it lies on the outside of the curve. The lateral displacement of the strip is two It is much larger than a small longitudinal expansion towards each of the metals. In current technology, bimetal thermometers work as follows: Bimetal thermometers have a thermometer located at the end of the handle that measures the temperature of the environment to be measured. They sense temperature thanks to the bimetal sheath inside. The spiral is located inside this sheath. The bimetallic group shown in the figure is formed by joining two different metal plates, and the metals It works on the principle that the coefficients of elongation differ during heating. In this scenario... As the bimetal heats up, its length shortens, causing it to rotate the shaft that is spot-welded to it. This shaft then rotates 10 the transfer spring to which it is screwed, and which in turn is screwed to the needle shaft, and therefore Turning the needle shows the temperature change on the thermometer dial. First, the dial center bushing is mounted onto the dial. The needle shaft is then attached to the needle. The needle is attached. The pointer shaft is passed through the hole in the center of the dial's center bushing. Transfer spring 15 The group is spot-welded to the bimetal group at the shaft portion at its end. The other part of the transfer spring group... The other end of the needle shaft, which is already assembled with the dial assembly, is mounted to the other end of the needle shaft. However, this process without removing the dial from its place, but by slightly separating the case from the dial. It is possible to do this, but it requires a small area and is both a long and difficult task. Furthermore... If adjustments are necessary, you will again need to open the dial and reach the middle section; assembly labor 20 It is both difficult and time-consuming. Research has been conducted on national and international applications / registrations related to current technology.
