Description

  The present invention relates to a magnet-fixed thermometer that is fixed to a temperature-measured body by the magnetic force of a magnet, and that measures the temperature of the temperature-measured body by bringing a temperature-sensitive portion into close contact with the temperature-measured body.

  When measuring the surface temperature of an object, it is important for the measurement error to be minimized that the temperature sensing part of the sensor part is completely brought into contact with the temperature measurement object. However, in order for the temperature sensing part of the sensor unit to be in direct contact with the temperature sensing body, the temperature sensing part must be exposed to the outside of the sensor body. Requires skill to make good contact with the temperature sensor. Further, the direct contact makes the temperature sensitive part wear out quickly and causes a problem in durability.

  Therefore, at least two leaf springs project from a holder that houses the coil spring, and a temperature measuring piece connected to a pair of thermocouples is supported by a link extending from the tip of the leaf spring, and the movable end of the coil spring is supported. There has been proposed an apparatus having a temperature measuring section in which the temperature measuring piece is pressed by a push pin provided on the plate and the tip of the push pin protrudes outward from the tip of the leaf spring (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  The thermoelectric element, a contact plate in which the temperature sensing portion of the thermoelectric element is joined to the back side of the central portion, and a casing that accommodates the thermoelectric element in a state where the contact plate is exposed, Arranged in the longitudinal center of the contact plate and contacted with the temperature measuring object, deformed portions disposed on both sides of the contact portion and less elastic than the contact portions, and mounting portions on both ends A device is also proposed in which the attachment portion is locked to the support portion of the casing and the contact portion is exposed to the outside of the casing (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  In addition, by devising the shape and configuration of the temperature sensing unit and the temperature measuring unit, the temperature sensing unit is closely attached to the temperature sensing object, and the device is configured to accurately measure the temperature of the temperature sensing object. One of them is a device for bringing a temperature sensing part into close contact with a temperature-measured body by the magnetic force of a magnet.

  Here, the magnet fixed thermometer will be described with reference to FIG. This magnet-fixed thermometer 1X includes a sensor head (sensor unit) 2, a temperature measuring unit 3a of a thermocouple 3 that measures the temperature of a temperature measuring object (not shown), a temperature measuring object, and a temperature measuring unit. 3 is provided, and includes a temperature sensing unit 4 that is pressed by the temperature-measured body and transfers heat from the temperature-measured body, and a head body 5.

  A guard (protective member) 6 that protects the temperature sensing unit 4 and the surface of the temperature sensing body is joined to the head body 5, and the sensor head 2 is fixed to the temperature sensing object inside the guard 6, A magnet 7 is provided to bring the portion 4 into close contact with the temperature-measured body. In addition, the sensor head 2 is provided with a handle 8 that is used when attaching (fixing) the sensor head 2 to the measured object or removing (moving) it from the measured object, and the cable (signal line) 3b of the thermocouple 3 It is comprised so that it may derive | lead-out via the handle 8. FIG.

  This magnet-fixed thermometer 1X can fix the sensor head 2 to the temperature-measured body by the magnetic force of the magnet 7 and can make the temperature-sensitive part 4 closely contact the temperature-measured body. This is suitable for measuring a temperature-measured body having a surface that can be fixed by the magnet 7.

  However, when the measured temperature is high, there is a problem that after the temperature is measured, the handle 8 is in a high temperature state, and the sensor head 2 cannot be detached from the measured temperature with the handle 8. Since the handle 8 cannot be directly held, the wire of the thermocouple 3 in the cable 3b is cut or the temperature is sensed when the sensor head 2 is removed from the temperature measurement object with the cable 3b. The temperature measuring unit 3a of the thermocouple 3 is detached from the unit 4.

  The cause of the high temperature state of the handle 8 is that the heat transfer from the sensor head 2 generated when the handle 8 and the sensor head 2 are directly joined to each other and the distance between the handle 8 and the measured object are short. It is the heat transfer by the radiation from the temperature measuring object generated in

JP 54-62877 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-198504

  Therefore, the present inventor has formed a handle longer than the conventional one, or a pipe that is a cylindrical member between the handle 8 and the sensor head 2 as shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b). By interposing 9X, an attempt was made to suppress heat transfer from the sensor head 2 and heat transfer due to radiation from the temperature measurement target. As a result, the above-mentioned problem could be solved by increasing the distance from the sensor head 2, but another problem occurred.

  One of the problems is that, for example, when the cable 3b is pulled from the measuring instrument side and an impact is applied to the handle 8 from the cable 3b as shown in FIG. Will deviate from the upper surface F1 of the temperature-measuring object. This is because the moment around the sensor head 2 is increased by the pipe 9X interposed between the sensor head 2 and the handle 8, and the sensor head 2 is easily detached.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, when the sensor head 2 is attached to the side surface F2 of the measured temperature object, the sensor head 2 is measured by the weight of the cable 3b, the handle 8, and the pipe 9X. There also arises a problem that the body side surface F2 comes off.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to prevent the temperature sensing part from being detached from the temperature-measuring body during measurement of the temperature-measuring body and to increase the temperature of the handle. Providing a magnet-fixed thermometer that can be attached to or removed from another measured object by holding the handle even after measuring the temperature of the measured object It is to be.

  In order to solve the above object, a magnet fixed thermometer according to the present invention is provided with a temperature measuring unit for measuring the temperature of a temperature measuring object, and between the temperature measuring object and the temperature measuring unit. A sensor unit having a temperature sensing part that is pressed by the temperature body and is transferred from the temperature measurement object, and a handle that is used when the sensor unit is moved, and the sensor unit is temperature-measured by a magnetic force. In a magnet-fixed thermometer comprising a magnet fixed to a body and causing the temperature sensing part to be in close contact with the body to be measured, a flexible tubular member having flexibility is provided between the sensor part and the handle. Even if the flexible cylindrical member is bent, the handle is configured to be supported at a predetermined distance from a contact plane including a contact surface of the sensor unit with the temperature-measured body. .

  According to this configuration, since the handle is not directly connected to the sensor unit by providing the flexible cylindrical member between the sensor unit and the handle, heat transfer from the sensor unit to the handle can be suppressed. . In addition, even if the flexible cylindrical member is bent, the handle is supported at a predetermined distance from the contact plane, so that the handle is located far from the measured object. Heat transfer due to radiation can be suppressed.

  This prevents the handle from becoming a high temperature state, and after measuring the temperature of the temperature-measured body, the measurer can move the sensor unit by holding the handle by hand. Therefore, since it is not necessary to remove the sensor unit from the temperature-measured body with the signal line, it is possible to prevent the strand of the signal line from being cut or the temperature measuring unit from being detached from the temperature sensing unit.

  Further, since the flexible cylindrical member is excellent in flexibility, the sensor unit can be directed in various directions when the handle is held, so that the sensor unit can be easily attached to various places. .

  The contact plane here means, for example, when measuring the upper surface of the temperature object, and when the upper surface is a horizontal surface, it means the horizontal surface, and the side surface of the temperature object is measured. When measuring and when the side surface is a vertical surface, it means the vertical surface.

  Further, the predetermined distance is the length of the perpendicular from the contact plane to the handle, and from the length from the contact plane to the end of the flexible cylindrical member on the sensor unit side, It is set to a value within the range up to the length to the opposite end of the flexible tubular member on the side of the sensor portion when the shaped member is not bent. It is preferable to set this predetermined distance to a length of 30 mm or more and 70 mm or less as a result of experimental determination, because heat transfer to the handle is suppressed and temperature measurement work is not hindered.

  In the magnet fixed thermometer, when the signal line connected to the temperature measuring unit is led from the handle via the flexible cylindrical member, the flexible cylindrical member is flexible. Because of its flexibility and excellent flexibility, even if force is applied from the signal line, part of the force can be released, and the problem that the sensor part is detached from the temperature measurement object is avoided. can do. Further, since the signal line is led out from the handle away from the temperature-measuring body, the signal line can be protected from the influence of heat generated from the temperature-measuring body.

  In addition, in the above-described magnet fixed thermometer, when the sensor unit is fixed to a temperature-measured body by a magnetic force, or when the sensor unit is moved using the handle, the flexible tubular member However, in addition to the above-described effects, the handle can be held in a hand that has a flexibility that bends to a bending radius determined according to the weight of the sensor unit or the handle, whichever is heavier, but does not bend any further. Since the handle and the sensor unit do not come close to each other, the hand holding the handle does not get hot. In addition, when the signal line is led out from the handle via the flexible cylindrical member, the signal line inside the flexible cylindrical member is prevented from being bent excessively to prevent the signal line from being damaged. be able to.

  For example, if the weight of the sensor unit is heavy and the bend radius when holding the handle is too small, the object to be measured and the hand holding the handle will be in close proximity and dangerous, while the weight of the sensor unit When the bend radius is too large, there is a problem that the impact from the signal line cannot be absorbed, and a problem that the sensor part comes off due to the weight of the flexible cylindrical member.

  Therefore, as a result of experimental determination in advance, when the weight of either the sensor unit or the handle is 10 g or more, the bending radius when the handle is held is set to 30 mm or more and 50 mm or less, and the sensor unit and the handle If the weight of both is less than 10 g and the bend radius when holding the handle is 100 mm or more and 150 mm or less, the sensor unit and the handle are not close to each other, and the sensor unit is easily detached from the temperature measurement object. It is preferable in order to prevent this.

The bend radius here is the bend radius when the handle is heavier than the handle, and the bend radius when the handle is heavier than the handle. It is a bending radius when it is attached to, and does not represent the maximum bending radius of the flexible cylindrical member. In addition, the value of the bending radius when holding the handle varies depending on how it is held, but here it is the bending radius when holding the handle so that it is positioned below the sensor. .

  In addition, in the above-described magnet fixed thermometer, it is preferable that the flexible cylindrical member is formed of a flexible tube. Here, the flexible tube refers to a spiral tube formed from a metal such as stainless steel, and has a property that is flexible and does not bend from a certain allowable bending radius.

  This flexible tube is specified by, for example, a metal flexible conduit fitting (JIS standard number: JIS C8350) of JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard), a metal flexible hose for gas (JIS standard number: JIS S2145), and the like. In addition to the above-mentioned properties, the flexible tube is preferably a casing tube that does not stretch even when pulled and is strong against side pressure and tensile load, and a so-called semi-inter tube is flexible and has no elongation. , Because it is excellent in load, side pressure and tensile strength.

  In addition, since the semi-inter tube has a more solid engagement structure than the casing tube, the minimum bending radius is 30 mm or more and 50 mm or less when the weight of either the sensor unit or the handle is 10 g or more. When the weight of both the sensor part and the handle is smaller than 10 g, the semi-intertube is cheaper and easier to manufacture than the semi-intertube and is light in weight. The minimum bending radius is 15 mm or more and 30 mm or less. A casing tube is preferred.

  According to the present invention, the temperature sensing part is prevented from being detached from the temperature sensing object during measurement of the temperature sensing object, and the handle is provided by providing the flexible cylindrical member between the sensor part and the handle. Is not directly connected to the sensor unit, preventing the handle from becoming hot, and even after measuring the temperature of the measured object, hold the handle and attach the sensor unit to another measured object, or It can be removed from the temperature object.

  Hereinafter, a magnet fixed thermometer according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a magnet-fixed thermometer that measures temperature with a thermocouple will be described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to, for example, a fluorescent optical fiber or a resistance temperature detector. can do.

  In addition, as a thermocouple, the type K using chromel for the positive electrode and alumel for the negative electrode will be described as an example. However, the present invention is a type E using chromel for the positive electrode and constantan for the negative electrode, The present invention can be applied to various types of thermocouples such as rhodium alloy (rhodium content 30%) and type B using a platinum rhodium alloy (rhodium content 6%) at the negative electrode.

  In addition, the dimensions of the drawings are changed so that the configuration can be easily understood, and the ratios of the thickness, width, length, etc. of each member and each part do not necessarily match the ratio of what is actually manufactured. .

  A magnet fixed thermometer according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIGS. 2 and 4, the top surface of the temperature measuring object is F1, the side surface is F2, the top surface F1 is a horizontal surface, and the side surface F2 is a vertical surface. Also, the horizontal direction in the figure is the horizontal direction x, the vertical direction in the figure is the vertical direction y, and the front and back direction in the figure is the depth direction z.

  In addition to the configuration of the conventional magnet-fixed thermometer 1X shown in FIG. 8, the magnet-fixed thermometer 1 of the present invention includes a sensor head (sensor unit) 2 and a handle 8 as shown in FIG. Even when the semi-intertube 10 is bent by interposing a flexible semi-intertube (flexible cylindrical member; flexible tube) 10, the handle 8 is attached to the upper surface F1 of the temperature-measured body of the sensor head 2. The contact plane A including the contact surface 2a is configured to be supported at a predetermined distance H1.

  In addition, a cable (signal line) 3 b connected to the temperature measuring unit 3 a is led out from the handle 8 via the semi-intertube 10.

  More specifically, the temperature sensing unit 4 is a contact plate that is formed from a heat conductor such as metal, is pressed by the temperature measurement object, and is transferred from the temperature measurement object, and the temperature measurement unit 3 a of the thermocouple 3. Are in contact. In this embodiment, when the sensor head 2 is fixed to the temperature-measuring body, the sensor head 2 is formed to be bent outward from the sensor head 2 in order to improve the adhesion to the temperature-measurement body.

  The head body 5 is made of various materials such as stainless steel, fluororesin, glass cloth laminate, fernol resin, or polyimide resin. In particular, heat transfer to the handle 8 via the head body 5 can be suppressed by using a material having low thermal conductivity such as fernol resin or polyimide resin. In addition, the head main body 5 is joined to a guard (protective member) 6 for protecting the temperature sensing unit 4 and the surface of the temperature measurement object. The guard 6 is formed of a fluororesin, a glass cloth laminated plate, or the like, and includes a magnet 7 inside.

  The above-described configuration of the sensor head 2 is an example, and the magnet fixed thermometer 1 of the present invention only needs to include the magnet 7 so that the temperature sensing unit 4 can be brought into close contact with the temperature measurement object. A known technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-62877, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-198504, or the like can be used provided with the magnet 7. Further, for example, the present invention can be applied to one in which the temperature sensing unit 4, the head main body 5, and the guard 6 are integrally formed, and one in which the head main body 5 or the guard 6 is formed of a magnetic material. . Further, the magnet 7 may be built in the head body 5 if the sensor head 2 can be fixed to the temperature measurement object.

  The handle 8 is preferably a non-thermal conductor, that is, a material other than a heat conductor such as metal, and may be formed of a non-metallic material such as a synthetic resin. In particular, a heat resistant resin such as a polyimide resin having excellent heat resistance and durability and low thermal conductivity is suitable.

The semi-inter tube 10 is a kind of flexible tube. A flexible tube is a pipe that is flexible and can be bent freely, and is formed by corrugating a thin pipe made of metal such as stainless steel or synthetic resin. SUS flexible, flexible pipe, flexible metal hose, spiral pipe, and spiral pipe.

  The semi-intertube 10 is connected to the head body 5 of the sensor head 2 via a connection pipe 11 made of stainless steel or the like. The semi-inter tube 10, the handle 8 and the connection pipe 11 are fixed by screws. The sensor head 2 and the semi-intertube 10 can be directly connected without using the connection pipe 11.

  The above-mentioned semi-inter tube 10 has a meshing portion 10c formed by combining stainless steel plates in a U-shape as shown in FIG. This is a tube having strength and strength, and the meshing portion 10c of the steel strip has a robust structure, and has an effect of being extremely strong against crushing, bending, pulling, twisting, and the like.

  The semi-inter tube 10 interposed between the sensor head 2 and the handle 8 has the following characteristics. Here, the state shown in FIG. 1 is a state in which the handle 8 is held by hand. Further, it is assumed that the weight of the sensor head 2 is heavier than the weight of the handle 8.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1, when the sensor head 2 is moved by using the handle 8, the semi-intertube 10 bends to a bending radius R <b> 1 determined according to the weight of the sensor head 2, but bends beyond that. Has no flexibility.

  In this embodiment, since the sensor head 2 having a weight of 10 g or more is used, if the bending radius R1 when the handle 8 is held by hand is small, the distance between the sensor head 2 and the handle 8 is short, that is, a high-temperature sensor. The head 2 and the hand holding the handle 8 are close and dangerous. On the other hand, if the bending radius R1 when the handle 8 is held by hand is large, when the sensor head 2 is fixed to the temperature-measuring body, the impact from the cable 3b is released, or the semi-intertube 10 and the handle 8 are released. The moment cannot be reduced.

  Therefore, the bending radius R1 when the handle 8 is held by hand is experimentally determined, and the bending radius R1 is set to 30 mm or more and 50 mm or less. The bending angle θ1 of the semi-intertube 10 at this time is 55 ° or more and 90 ° or less. According to this, since the handle 8 and the sensor head 2 are not close to each other, the influence of heat transfer from the sensor head 2 to the hand having the handle 8 can be suppressed when the handle 8 is held. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the cable 3b inside the semi-intertube 10 from being bent excessively and to prevent the cable 3b from being damaged.

  In this embodiment, since the weight of the sensor head 2 is heavier than the weight of the handle 8, the bending radius R1 in the state where the handle 8 of FIG. 1 is held is defined, but the weight of the sensor head 2 is When the weight of the handle 8 is lighter, the bending radius when the sensor head 2 of FIG. 2 is fixed to the temperature-measured body by the magnetic force of the magnet 7 is defined.

  The bending radius R1 here is the bending radius R1 when the handle 8 is held by hand, and does not have to coincide with the maximum bending radius of the semi-intertube 10. In addition, the bending radius R1 when the handle 8 is held by hand varies depending on how the magnet fixed thermometer 1 is held, but the weight of the sensor head 2 is larger than the weight of the handle 8 as shown in FIG. When the handle 8 is heavy, the maximum value of the bending radius R1 is obtained when the handle 8 is held below the sensor head 2. Therefore, the above range is the maximum value range.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, even when the semi-intertube 10 is bent when the sensor head 2 is fixed to the temperature-measured body by magnetic force, the handle 8 is set at a predetermined distance from the contact plane A. It has the feature of supporting while maintaining H1.

  In the case of FIG. 2, the contact plane A here is an xz plane including a contact surface 2 a with the upper surface F <b> 1 of the temperature measuring object of the sensor head 2, and in the case of FIG. 4, It is a yz plane including the contact surface 2a with the side surface F2 of the temperature-measured body. In this embodiment, since the upper surface F1 is a horizontal plane, this contact plane A is also a horizontal plane, and since the side surface F2 is a vertical plane, this contact plane A is also a vertical plane.

  The predetermined distance H1 is a distance H2 from the contact plane A to the end 10a of the semi-intertube 10 on the sensor head 2 side, and the semi-intertube 10 is not bent from the contact plane A or B. Although it is set to an arbitrary length within the range up to the distance H3 to the opposite end 10b on the sensor head 2 side, if the distance H1 is set to 30 mm or more and 70 mm or less as a result obtained experimentally. It is preferable because the heat transfer to the handle 8 is suppressed without being too short and the length is not too long so that the temperature measurement operation is not hindered.

  According to this configuration, by setting the distance H1 to be longer than the distance H2 from the contact plane A to the end 10a, the position of the handle 8 becomes farther than that of the conventional one, and the upper surface of the temperature measurement object Since the heat transfer due to radiation from F1 can be suppressed and the moment applied to the sensor head 2 does not become too large by setting it shorter than the distance H3 from the contact plane A to the end 10b, the sensor head 2 can be prevented from coming off from the upper surface F1 of the temperature-measured body.

  Therefore, since the handle 8 is not directly connected to the sensor head 2, heat transfer from the sensor head 2 to the handle 8 can be suppressed. Further, even if the semi-intertube 10 is bent during temperature measurement, the handle 8 is supported at a predetermined distance H1 from the contact plane A, and therefore the handle 8 is located far from the measured object. In addition, heat transfer due to radiation from the measured object to the handle 8 can be suppressed. This prevents the handle 8 from becoming a high temperature state, measures the temperature of the temperature-measured body, and then holds the handle 8 and attaches the sensor head 2 to another temperature-measured body, or the temperature-measured body. Can be removed from.

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 1, the cable 3b connected to the temperature measuring unit 3a is led out from the handle 8 via the semi-inter tube 10 to protect the cable 3b. Thereby, since the semi-intertube 10 has flexibility and is excellent in flexibility, even if a force is applied from the cable 3b, a part of the force can be released, and the sensor head 2 The problem of detachment from the temperature measurement object can be avoided.

  Further, since the cable 3b is led out from the handle 8 away from the temperature-measuring body, the cable 3b can be protected from the influence of heat generated from the temperature-measuring body, and the cable 3b inside the semi-intertube 10 can be protected. It is possible to prevent the cable 3b from being damaged by preventing excessive bending.

  The present invention is defined by JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) metal flexible conduit accessories (JIS standard number: JIS C 8350), metal flexible hoses for gas (JIS standard number: JIS S 2145), etc. Can be used. For example, what is called an interlock tube and can hold a bent state can be used, but when either the weight of the sensor head 2 or the weight of the handle 8 is 10 g or more, the handle 8 The semi-intertube 10 having a bending radius R1 when the sensor head 2 is held in the hand or a bending radius when the sensor head 2 is fixed to the temperature-measured body is 30 mm or more and 50 mm or less at maximum is transferred to the handle 8. This is preferable because it suppresses the temperature and does not interfere with the temperature measurement operation.

  The operation of the fixed magnet thermometer 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 4, and 5. FIG. 2 shows an operation for measuring the temperature of the upper surface F1 of the temperature-measured body. When the sensor head 2 is brought close to the upper surface F1 of the temperature measurement object by holding the handle 8, the sensor head 2 is fixed to the upper surface F1 of the temperature measurement object by the magnetic force of the magnet 7.

  Then, the semi-inter tube 10 bends due to the weight of the handle 8 and the cable 3b, etc. (However, the semi-inter tube 10 may not be bent depending on the weight of the handle 8 and the state of the cable 3b). At this time, since the temperature sensing unit 4 is in close contact with the upper surface F1 of the temperature object, the temperature of the upper surface F1 of the temperature object can be accurately measured. Further, when the semi-intertube 10 is bent, the moment applied to the sensor head 2 can be reduced.

  During measurement, for example, even if a force (filled arrow in the figure) is applied from the cable 3b in the horizontal direction x, the semi-intertube 10 is deformed as shown by the dotted line in the figure, so the influence of the impact is reduced. can do. Thereby, it can prevent that the sensor head 2 remove | deviates from the upper surface F1 of a to-be-measured body. Even when a force is applied in the opposite direction, since the semi-intertube 10 is bent, the moment applied to the sensor head 2 is reduced. Even in this case, the sensor head 2 is disengaged from the upper surface F1 of the temperature measuring object. This can be prevented.

  According to this, the sensor head 2 is prevented from being detached from the upper surface F1 of the temperature measuring object during the temperature measurement, and even if the semi-intertube 10 is bent, the grip 8 and the contact plane A Since the distance H1 is sufficiently long and the handle 8 is not transferred by radiation of the temperature-measuring body, after measuring the temperature of the upper surface F1 of the temperature-measuring body, the handle 8 does not become hot, The sensor head 2 can be removed from the upper surface F1 of the temperature measuring object and moved to another location.

  FIG. 4 shows an operation of measuring the temperature of the side surface F2 of the temperature object. When the sensor head 2 is brought close to the side surface F2 of the temperature measurement object by holding the handle 8, the sensor head 2 is fixed to the side surface F2 of the temperature measurement object by the magnetic force of the magnet 7. At this time, since the temperature sensing unit 4 is in close contact with the side surface F2 of the temperature measurement object, the temperature of the side surface F2 of the temperature measurement object can be accurately measured.

  During the measurement, the semi-intertube 10 is bent downward in the vertical direction y due to the weight of the handle 8 and the cable 3b. When the semi-intertube 10 is bent, the distance H1 between the handle 8 and the contact plane A becomes shorter than the distance H3 between the handle 8 and the contact plane A when the semi-intertube 10 is not bent. Therefore, the moment applied to the sensor head 2 is smaller than the moment applied to the sensor head 2 of the conventional magnet fixed thermometer 1Y shown in FIG. Thereby, it can prevent that the sensor head 2 shown in FIG. 4 remove | deviates from the side surface F2 of a to-be-measured body.

  FIG. 5 shows an operation for measuring the temperature of the lower surface F3 of the temperature-measured body. When the sensor head 2 is brought close to the lower surface F3 of the temperature measuring body with the handle 8 so that the sensor head 2 faces upward, that is, the temperature sensing portion 4 is located above the vertical direction y, the magnet 7, the sensor head 2 is fixed to the lower surface F3 of the temperature-measuring body.

  Thus, since the semi-intertube 10 can be flexibly bent, the magnet fixed thermometer 1 of the present invention can be easily attached to various places.

  According to this magnet fixed thermometer 1, by providing the semi-intertube 10 between the sensor head 2 and the handle 8, the handle 8 is not directly connected to the sensor head 2, so the sensor head 2 to the handle 8. Even if the semi-intertube 10 is bent to the bending radius R1, the handle 8 is located far from the measured object, so that the heat transfer by radiation from the measured object to the handle 8 is suppressed. Can be suppressed. Thus, after the temperature is measured, the sensor head 2 can be attached to or removed from the measured temperature object by holding the handle 8.

  In addition, since the semi-intertube 10 is excellent in flexibility, even if a force is applied from the cable 3b, a part of the force can be released, and the sensor head 2 is detached from the measured object. The problem can be avoided. And the sensor head 2 can be easily attached to various places.

  Next, a magnet fixed thermometer 20 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The magnet-fixed thermometer 20 includes a sensor head 21 in which a temperature sensing unit and a head body are integrally formed, instead of the sensor head 2 of the first embodiment, and includes a sensor head 21 and a handle 8. A casing tube 22 is provided between them.

  The sensor head 21 is made of a metal such as stainless steel and is formed in a cylindrical shape in which the temperature sensing unit 23 and the head body 24 are integrated. The temperature measuring unit 3a of the thermocouple 3 and the magnet 25 are built in this cylindrical shape. The sensor head 21 is smaller and lighter than the sensor head 2 of the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the casing tube 22 has a meshing portion 22 a formed by combining stainless steel plates among various types of flexible tubes, as compared with the semi-intertube 10 shown in FIG. 3. It is the most standard spiral tube that has excellent flexibility and flexibility and is lightweight.

  The weight of the sensor head 21 of this embodiment is less than 10 g, lighter than the sensor head 2 of the first embodiment, and the weight of the handle 8 is also less than 10 g. Therefore, when the same semi-intertube 10 as in the first embodiment is interposed between the sensor head 21 and the handle 8, the sensor head 21 is moved from the measured object due to the influence of the moment due to the weight of the semi-intertube 10. Will come off. This is because the sensor head 21 is smaller and lighter than the sensor head 2 of the first embodiment, so that the magnetic force of the magnet 25 is weaker than the magnetic force of the magnet 7 of the first embodiment. is there.

  Therefore, the above-described problem has been solved by using the casing tube 22 that is lighter than the semi-inter tube 10 of the first embodiment. Here, the characteristics of the casing tube 22 will be described. In this embodiment, the weight of the sensor head 21 is heavier than the weight of the handle 8, and the weight of the sensor head 21 is 10 g or less.

  The casing tube 22 has flexibility such that when the handle 8 is held by hand, the casing tube 22 bends to a bending radius R2 determined according to the weight of the sensor head 21, but does not bend any more.

  In this embodiment, since the sensor head 21 having a weight of 10 g or less is used, the bending radius R2 when the handle 8 is held by hand is larger than the bending radius R1 of the first embodiment. The bending radius R2 when the handle 8 is held by hand is experimentally determined and set to 100 mm or more and 1550 mm or less. The bending angle θ2 of the casing tube 22 at this time is 10 ° or more and 25 ° or less.

  Note that the bending radius R <b> 2 here is the bending radius R <b> 2 when the handle 8 is held by hand, and does not have to coincide with the maximum bending radius of the casing tube 22. Since the sensor head 21 is light, the bending radius R2 when the handle 8 is held by hand increases, but the maximum bending radius of the casing tube 22 used in this embodiment is a small value of about 20 mm. In particular, when the weight of the sensor head 21 is as light as 10 g or less as in this embodiment, attention is paid to whether or not the maximum bending radius of the casing tube 22 is a value that does not damage the cable 3b inside the casing tube 22. There is a need.

  Further, in this embodiment, since the weight of the sensor head 21 is heavier than the weight of the handle 8, the bending radius R <b> 2 in the state where the handle 8 of FIG. 6 is held is defined, but the weight of the sensor head 21 is When the weight of the handle 8 is lighter, the bending radius when the sensor head 21 is fixed to the temperature-measured body by the magnetic force of the magnet 7 is defined.

  According to the above configuration, the casing tube 22 is interposed between the sensor head 21 and the handle 8 even if the sensor head 21 is smaller and lighter than the sensor head 2 of the first embodiment. By doing so, the same effects as the effects described in the first embodiment can be obtained.

  In the first embodiment, since the weight of the sensor head 2 is 10 g or more, the flexible semi-intertube 10 having a bending radius R1 of 30 mm or more and 50 mm or less when held by hand is used. In the second embodiment, since the weight of the sensor head 21 is lighter than 10 g, a flexible casing tube 22 having a bending radius R2 of 100 mm or more and 150 mm or less when held by hand is used. If it is a flexible tube which has the characteristic mentioned above, this invention will not limit the kind.

  The magnet-fixed thermometer according to the present invention prevents the temperature sensing part from being detached from the temperature sensing object during measurement of the temperature sensing object, and provides a flexible cylindrical member between the sensor part and the handle. Since the handle is not directly connected to the sensor unit, the handle is prevented from becoming hot, and even after measuring the temperature of the measured object, hold the handle and connect the sensor unit to another measured object. Since it can be attached to or removed from the temperature-measuring body, it can be used for measuring the temperature of a particularly high-temperature temperature-measuring body.
