Measurement module 222 (Fig. 2) can also be to the electrode length L close to predetermined minimum electrode lengthEIt is monitored.For example, As electrode length LEWhen reaching one or more predetermined minimum electrode length, measurement module 222 can send out alarm, provide visually Change instruction and/or even stops operation.In some embodiments, when detecting predetermined minimum electrode length, audio, video And/or the state of operation alarm can be different or occurs in the different stages.Illustrative minimum electrode length is about 100mm Or smaller, for example, about 75mm or smaller, for example, about 60mm or smaller, for example, about 50mm or smaller, for example, about 50mm or smaller, packet Include all ranges and subrange between them.
With reference to figure 4, although Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 illustrate unitary electrode block, it is possible to provide form the multiple electrodes block of assembly 250 240, each electrode block has temperature sensor assembly as described above and contact position.In addition, the measurement of Fig. 2 can be used Module 222 or multiple measurement modules detect the electrode length of multiple electrodes block.
Discussed above is one-dimension temperature distributions, wherein heat predominantly axially flows through electrode.However, electrode relatively In long example, such as when beginning to use electrode, hot-fluid may not be able to be by one-dimensional model Precise Representation.By using computer Mathematical modeling calculates, and the estimation of temperature value and hot-face temperature can be used to measure electrode length LE
Embodiment
Consider that thermal conductivity can be by function K (T)=K0Exp (- a*T) carrys out approximate situation, whereinA= 0.0019K-1.In this case, I (T) is directly proportional to K (T).With reference to the diagram of figure 5, the first temperature sensor is located at apart from cold At the 25mm of face, and second sensor is located at huyashi-chuuka (cold chinese-style noodles) 53mm.If the first temperature sensor measures T1=580 DEG C, the 2nd T2 =921 DEG C, and glass transition temperature is Tg=1525 DEG C, then it is 74mm that equation (5), which will provide electrode length,.
