Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these specific illustrations are for the purpose of illustrating how one skilled in the art may practice the utility model, and are not intended to be exhaustive of all of the possible ways of practicing the utility model, nor to limit the scope of the utility model.
Referring to fig. 1, an armored thermocouple (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as "armored thermocouple") using a glass-encapsulated cold end according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a first sleeve 1, a second sleeve 2, a third sleeve 3, a coupling wire 4, and an insulating material such as magnesium oxide, etc.
One end (e.g. the left end in fig. 1) of the first sleeve 1 is closed, which end is the measurement end, i.e. the hot end. The other end of the first sleeve 1 (right end in fig. 1) has a first sleeve opening 11, which is the cold end. An insulating material such as magnesium oxide for the coupling filaments 4 may be provided in the first sleeve 1. And, the coupling filaments 4 may protrude from the first sleeve opening 11 out of the first sleeve 1.
The second sleeve 2 is sleeved outside the first sleeve 1. One end (e.g., the left end of fig. 1) of the second sleeve 2 may be sealingly connected to the outer circumferential wall of the first sleeve 1. Illustratively, one end of the second sleeve 2 is welded to the outer peripheral wall of the first sleeve 1, and the welded portion forms a first welding spot 21, which plays a role in sealing. The other end of the second sleeve 2 has a second sleeve opening 22.
In one embodiment of the utility model, the distance between the end face of the first sleeve opening 11 and the end face of the second sleeve opening 22 is a, and a > 0. The other end (right end) of the first sleeve 1 does not protrude from the other end (right end) of the second sleeve 2.
The armored thermocouple provided by the embodiment of the utility model can further comprise a glass insulator 5, wherein the glass insulator 5 can be arranged at the first sleeve opening 11 and can seal the first sleeve opening 11. In one embodiment of the utility model, a first bore 23 and a second bore 24 are provided coaxially in the second sleeve 2. The second hole 24 has a larger diameter than the first hole 23, and the first hole 23 has a diameter not smaller than the first sleeve 1. The glass insulator 5 may be provided at the second hole 24, and a projection of the glass insulator 5 covers the second hole 24 in the axial direction of the second sleeve 2. And, the glass insulator 5 covers the first sleeve opening 11. Of course, in one embodiment of the utility model, the glass insulator 5 may also extend into the first sleeve opening 11 to seal the first sleeve opening 11.
The process of forming and disposing the glass insulator 5 can refer to the existing glass sealing technique. Wherein the manufacturing process includes heating the glass for sealing to a melting temperature such that the molten glass sufficiently wets the sleeve.
It will be appreciated that both the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2 may be metal sleeves, the metal having a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than glass. In the cooling process, the shrinkage of the sleeve with a large thermal expansion coefficient is larger, and the sleeve generates radial inward compressive stress acting on the glass insulator 5, so that the strength of the glass insulator 5 can be increased, and the glass insulator 5 can realize stable cold end packaging.
In one embodiment of the utility model, the armored thermocouple is applied to the nuclear field, and can be particularly used for temperature monitoring in a high-temperature gas cooled reactor. The heat-resistant temperature of the armored thermocouple can reach 500 ℃, and the service life is estimated to be 60 years.
Compared with the traditional resin sealing material, the glass has the advantages of high strength, high temperature resistance, radiation resistance, difficult aging, high bonding strength with metal and the like. According to the utility model, the cold end of the armored thermocouple is packaged by the glass, the stability of the package sealing of the cold end of the thermocouple can be greatly improved by utilizing the excellent performance of the glass, the possibility of moisture absorption of magnesia powder in the thermocouple is reduced, and the armored thermocouple can be stably used for a long time under severe conditions of high temperature, high pressure and even high radioactivity.
The armored thermocouple provided by the embodiment of the utility model can further comprise a cable 6, a sealing body 7 and an anti-folding tube 8.
The coupling wire 4 may be exposed to the glass insulator 5, for example, the length of exposure may be 1-2 cm, it being understood that the length range may include both end points of 1 cm and 2cm. The exposed coupling wires 4 may be connected to the cable 6. Illustratively, the coupling wire 4 may be welded to the cable 6, where the second weld 41 is formed. It will be appreciated that the coupling wire 4 is welded to the cable 6 in a short period of time and with low energy, and that the heat generated during the welding process has little effect on the internal stress of the glass insulator 5. The cable 6 may be a compensating wire.
The third sleeve 3 may be connected to the second sleeve 2. In one embodiment of the utility model, the third sleeve 3 may be screwed to the second sleeve 2. Of course, the third sleeve 3 may be connected to the second sleeve 2 by a flange, a bolt, or the like.
The sealing body 7 is arranged in the third sleeve 3, and the sealing body 7 can seal gaps between the coupling wires 4 and the cables 6 in the second sleeve 2 and the third sleeve 3 and between the second sleeve 2 and the third sleeve 3 to form sealing protection.
In one embodiment of the utility model the sealing body 7 contacts the second sleeve 2, for example the sealing body 7 protrudes into the second sleeve opening 22 or the sealing body 7 contacts the end face of the second sleeve opening 22. The sealing body 7 may be a high temperature glue. When the sealing body 7 is high Wen Jiaoshi, the sealing body 7 and the second sleeve 2 are arranged in a matching manner, and the high-temperature glue can play a role in connecting the second sleeve 2 and the third sleeve 3. According to the embodiment of the utility model, the connection of the two sleeves can be realized through threads and high-temperature glue. Compared with the threaded connection, the two-sleeve threaded connection tightening degree can be lower, the compressive stress applied to the glass insulator by the sealing body 7 is small, and the risk of sealing failure is reduced.
Illustratively, the high temperature glue may be a meston high temperature sealant. Of course, the brand and model of the high-temperature glue can be specifically selected according to the operating environment. The sealing body 7 is not limited to high temperature glue either.
The cable 6 may include two cables, and the two cables may be converged at the other end of the third sleeve 3. The anti-folding tube 8 may be disposed at the other end of the third sleeve 3, and the cable 6 may extend out of the other end of the third sleeve 3 through the anti-folding tube 8.
The anti-folding pipe 8 can provide support for the cable 6 and plays a role in preventing folding. Illustratively, the anti-collapse tube 8 may be a spring tube, a thickened metal tube, or the like. Of course, a certain flexibility can also be provided when using a spring tube as the anti-fold tube 8.
In one embodiment of the present utility model, the coupling wire 4 may be welded to the cable 6, then the third sleeve 3 may be screwed to the second sleeve 2, a sealing body 7 such as high temperature glue may be added from the other end of the third sleeve 3, a fold-preventing tube 8 may be provided, and the mixture may be left to stand for 24 hours, for example, to wait for the high temperature glue to cure.
Compared with the method of directly welding the second sleeve 2 and the third sleeve 3, the connecting mode between the second sleeve 2 and the third sleeve 3 in the embodiment of the utility model comprises the steps of screw connection and high-temperature glue bonding, thereby avoiding high-temperature connection and avoiding sealing failure caused by uneven stress in the glass insulator 5 during high-temperature connection, and therefore, the connecting mode provided by the utility model can effectively prolong the service life of the armored thermocouple.
Compared with a longer sleeve, the sleeve comprises the second sleeve 2 and the third sleeve 3 which are assembled, so that the welding steps of the coupling wires 4 and the cables 6 can be more simply implemented, and the welding reliability is improved. For example, when a longer sleeve is used, the cable 6 needs to extend into the sleeve to be welded at a deeper position, so that the welding is inconvenient; if the sleeve length is reduced, the welding points between the coupling wires 4 and the cable 6 are easily exposed, and the problem of breakage is caused, so that the connection between the coupling wires 4 and the cable 6 cannot be effectively sealed, and the sealing effect is deteriorated. The sleeve pipes at the two ends which can be spliced and connected solve the problem, ensure sufficient sealing materials, simplify the welding steps of the coupling wires 4 and the cables 6 and facilitate the processing.
On the one hand, glass is brittle, so that the volume of the glass insulator 5 is not necessarily too large; on the other hand, the cable 6 usually comprises a protective material such as rubber, the forming process temperature of the glass insulator 5 is high, and the glass insulator 5 is not in direct contact with the cable 6, so the utility model does not recommend to use the glass insulator 5 to seal the components inside the sleeve entirely.
The utility model also provides an armored thermocouple employing a glass-encapsulated cold end for use in manufacturing the armored thermocouple as described above. Illustratively, the manufacturing method provided by the embodiment of the present utility model may include the steps of:
an insulating material, such as magnesium oxide, is provided in the first sleeve 1 with coupling filaments 4;
welding the first sleeve 1 and the second sleeve 2;
a glass insulator 5 is arranged at the first sleeve opening 11;
welding the coupling wire 4 with the cable 6;
the third sleeve 3 is screwed to the second sleeve 2;
a sealing body 7 such as high-temperature glue is added into the third sleeve 3 from the other end of the third sleeve 3, and the third sleeve stands still for curing the high-temperature glue.
The glass insulator 5 may be cured in the second sleeve 2 and sealed in the first sleeve opening 11.
While the foregoing is directed to the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the principles of the utility model, and such changes and modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the utility model.
