The inner cylinder is the most important part of the thermal insulation calibration cavity system, and the sensor mounting copper seat is installed in the cylinder inside the calibration cavity. After the temperature sensor of the calibrated measurement system is installed on the sensor installation copper seat, the leading-out wire of the calibrated measurement system passes through the flexible corrugated pipe and the stainless steel thin-wall pipe and reaches the inside of the lead cover, and then the gap between the lead cover and the cable is sealed through the leading-out cable sealing element and is led out of the calibration cavity.
The inner cylinder is in a thin-wall cylinder shape and is processed by aluminum alloy 6061. The upper part of the inner cylinder body is connected by an aluminum alloy flange and is sealed with the inner cylinder body through indium wires. In order to ensure the sealing performance of the inner cylinder top sealing flange and the inner cylinder in the installation process and avoid installation interference, the inner cylinder top sealing flange is connected with the middle cylinder top sealing flange through a corrugated pipe. Helium is a heat conductor with the best heat conducting property in gas, and in order to ensure the temperature uniformity of the inner cylinder, in the calibration process, helium is firstly filled into the inner cylinder through a helium gas filling pipe under the control of a pressurization system, the pressure of the helium is slightly greater than the atmospheric pressure, and the permeation of external air is avoided.
During actual operation, the cold quantity exchange is carried out between the bottom of the inner cylinder and the cold quantity distributor, and meanwhile, the film heater is arranged on the side face of the bottom of the inner cylinder. The bottom of the inner cylinder body is provided with a mounting hole, the inner cylinder body is connected with the cold energy distributor through a bolt, and the main control heater is placed between the bottom of the inner cylinder body and the cold energy distributor during connection; the cold quantity distributor is connected with the bottom of the middle cylinder and the cold head of the refrigerator through bolts. A sensor mount is disposed within the inner barrel.
The middle cylinder is cylindrical and is processed by aluminum alloy 6061. The upper part of the middle cylinder body is in flange connection, and the top sealing flange of the outer cylinder body is connected with the flange of the middle cylinder body through a stainless steel pipe. The cold quantity distributor is positioned between the bottom of the middle cylinder and the bottom of the inner cylinder, the bottom of the middle cylinder is in direct contact with the cold head of the refrigerator, and the cold quantity distributor and the bottom of the middle cylinder are in threaded connection with the cold head of the refrigerator.
In the use process, the cold quantity of the refrigerating machine mainly reaches the bottom of the inner cylinder body through the bottom of the middle cylinder body and is further transmitted to the installation copper seat of the calibrated sensor, and therefore, the transmission of the controlled cold quantity is vital to the temperature control of the installation seat of the sensor. And a main control heater is arranged between the bottom of the middle barrel and the bottom of the inner barrel.
In consideration of installation requirements, the cold quantity distributor is respectively connected with the inner cylinder body and the middle cylinder body. Firstly, the cold quantity distributor and the middle barrel are connected together, then the main control heater is arranged between the cold quantity distributor and the inner barrel, and then the cold quantity distributor is connected with the inner barrel through bolts.
Because inside barrel is full of the helium, arrange inside barrel sensor installation copper seat in and pass through stainless steel pipe, scalable stainless steel corrugated pipe to the lead wire cover by school temperature sensor connecting cable, sensor wire and helium heat transfer all can lead to inside barrel temperature gradient big, consequently set up supplementary cooling jacket in the stainless steel pipe outside between middle part barrel and outside barrel, carry the constant temperature medium after will cooling to supplementary cooling jacket through the low temperature circulation groove and carry out the circulation flow and cool down. By adopting the auxiliary cooling sleeve, the influence of the leading-out cable on the temperature field of the low-temperature constant-temperature calibration cavity can be reduced, and the auxiliary cooling can be carried out in the cooling process of the calibration equipment so as to meet the requirement of cooling rate.
The outer cylinder top sealing flange is connected with the middle cylinder top stainless steel flange through a stainless steel pipe, the middle cylinder top stainless steel flange is connected with the inner cylinder top stainless steel flange through a flexible and compressible stainless steel corrugated pipe, and the conflict of air-tight sealing of the outer cylinder and the outer cylinder top sealing flange, the inner cylinder and the inner cylinder top stainless steel sealing flange can be solved through a soft and hard connection combination mode. However, when the sensor is calibrated, the sensor needs to be mounted after the sensor mounting copper seat, the inner cylinder, the middle cylinder and the sealing flange at the top of the outer cylinder are separated from the heat insulation calibration cavity system, and then the sensor is placed into the heat insulation calibration cavity system. Because the sensor mounting copper seat and the flange are made of metal materials, the weight of the sensor mounting copper seat exceeds the bearing capacity of the flexible corrugated pipe, and the corrugated pipe can be damaged when the sensor mounting copper seat and the flange bear the weight through the corrugated pipe when the sensor mounting copper seat is taken out. In addition, after the sensor is installed, the air tightness of the connection between the stainless steel sealing flange at the top of the inner cylinder and the inner cylinder needs to be ensured. Therefore, the stress of the corrugated pipe when the flange, the inner cylinder and the like move out of the heat insulation calibration cavity system is avoided in a mode of an auxiliary connecting rod; through processing auxiliary connecting rod via hole on middle part barrel top stainless steel flange, at inside barrel top stainless steel sealing flange processing auxiliary connecting rod screw hole, auxiliary connecting rod passes auxiliary connecting rod via hole, passes through threaded connection with auxiliary connecting rod screw hole, screws up the atress nut on the auxiliary connecting rod.
In the calibration process, in order to ensure the temperature consistency between the middle cylinder and the inner cylinder and prevent the temperature field of the inner cylinder from being uneven due to radiation heat transfer, the cold quantity of the cold head of the refrigerator needs to be distributed. Therefore, a cold quantity distributor which is connected with the bottom of the inner cylinder and the bottom of the middle cylinder at the same time and is provided with a flange is specially designed, and the cold quantity distribution is realized by adjusting the connection areas of the bottom of the inner cylinder and the bottom of the middle cylinder and the cold quantity distributor.

And welding a stainless steel lead cover on the upper flange.
And an outgoing cable sealing piece is arranged on the periphery of the lead cover, and the connected lead of the calibrated sensor is sealed by the outgoing cable sealing piece. In addition, in the calibration process, three standard platinum resistance thermometers are used as the standard devices, so that an aviation plug mounting hole is processed in the middle of the sensor mounting cover and is used for leading out three standard platinum resistance thermometer leads. Because the lead wire cover is communicated with the inner cylinder through the stainless steel guide pipe and the stainless steel corrugated pipe, the helium is filled in the inner cylinder through the helium gas filling pipe on the lead wire cover before calibration under the control of the pressure regulating system, the pressure is slightly higher than the atmospheric pressure, and the helium is discharged through the helium gas exhaust pipe after the calibration is finished.
In the calibration process of the temperature measurement system, the cable of the sensor and the sensor are not detachable, and the sealing element for leading out the cable adopts a deformed cone combined sealing mode. Before the calibration was carried out, fixed the sealing member seat to the lead wire cover through connecting screw, the sealing member seat was crossed the line hole, the sealing nut internal diameter is greater than the sensor external diameter, and sensor bandeau cable passes the sealing member seat and crosses line hole and sealing nut, will take the breach polytetrafluoroethylene variant body card to the cable on, put into the sealed hole, then put two half round hole gaskets in sensor cable both sides and polytetrafluoroethylene variant body.
