[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a method of measuring the temperature of molten metal such as molten metal such as hot metal or molten steel, a platinum rhodium-based thermocouple (hereinafter referred to as a B thermocouple) is a quartz tube. This is a consumable thermometer that protects. Normally, when the thermocouple is immersed in hot metal, molten steel, etc., the thermosensitive part melts in a very short time (10 to 20 seconds) and becomes unusable, so the temperature measurement is completed in a short time And the thermocouple was replaced after each measurement. For this reason, it is difficult to control the quality and operation, and the cost of measuring the temperature is high.Therefore, a thermometer that can continuously measure the temperature for a long time is strongly desired.
Thermocouple protection tubes such as N, Al 2 O 3 —C, and ZrO 2 —Mo are provided.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the case of thermometers using these protective tubes, in continuous temperature measurement with hot metal or molten steel, oxidation and corrosion resistance during preheating during charging and during temperature measurement are remarkable. The service life is short because the protection tube is eroded by about 5 to 30 charges.

However, recently, a preferable material for such a protective tube,
That is, boride-based ceramics have been proposed as having excellent corrosion resistance and sufficient strength, heat resistance, and thermal conductivity to molten metal. Particularly ZrB 2 is the most provided the material conditions, it can be said that the preferred material when applying the present invention. However, since the boride-based ceramics have lower toughness and lower thermal shock resistance than ordinary metals, when the temperature of hot water such as molten metal is intermittently repeated, the temperature of the protective tube is 1400 ° C. or higher. The temperature rises and falls repeatedly at temperatures below 500 ° C, causing fine cracks inside the protective tube, causing the whole to crack and shortening the service life compared to continuous temperature measurement for a long time. Therefore, a technology capable of stably measuring the temperature for a long time even in such an intermittent temperature measurement has been strongly desired.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the outstanding corrosion resistance with respect to a molten metal is acquired by employ | adopting the ceramics which has a non-oxide as a main component as a material of a protective tube main body. In addition, since the outer periphery of the protection tube main body is surrounded by the refractory layer, thermal shock and mechanical shock to the protection tube main body are reduced, and breakage of the protection tube main body can be prevented. Furthermore, since a gap is interposed between the protective tube main body and the refractory layer, stress due to a difference in thermal expansion is not applied to the protective tube main body, and mechanical shock is received by the refractory layer. In addition, the protection tube main body can be more effectively prevented from being damaged. Furthermore, the distal end of the protective tube main body is exposed without being covered with the refractory layer, so that thermal responsiveness is not impaired.

The protective tube main body 1a completely surrounds the outer periphery of the temperature measuring sensor, and the refractory layer 1b is provided with a gap between the protective tube main body 1a and the tip of the protective tube main body 1a exposed. , And surrounds the outer periphery of the protection tube main body 1a. In addition, temperature sensor, protective tube body 1a and refractory layer

Hereinafter, the thermocouple protection tube 1 including the protection tube main body 1a and the refractory layer 1b will be further described. In the present invention, the protection tube main body 1a is made of a non-oxide ceramic sintered body, and is most preferably composed mainly of ZrB 2 (zirconium diboride) from the viewpoint of high-temperature corrosion resistance to molten metal.

It is undeniable that TiB 2 is inferior in that it has low corrosion resistance and the oxidation resistance is poor.

Next, the refractory layer 1b disposed on the outer surface of the protection tube main body will be described. As described above, the protective tube main body 1a made of non-oxide ceramics such as ZrB 2 is poured into the molten metal, and when the temperature is repeatedly increased and decreased, particularly when the temperature is decreased from a high temperature region, the temperature is often in the range of 500 to 600 ° C. Fine cracks are generated in the structure inside the ceramics of the main body 1a, and when the cracks are remarkable, the whole ceramics may be cracked. Although the cause is not clear, it is thought to be due to rapid changes in thermal expansion coefficient, oxidation characteristics, Young's modulus, etc., and thermal stress. However, when measuring the temperature of hot metal or molten steel in a blast furnace or continuous casting facility, the temperature measurement must be interrupted for each tapping of one tap and for each cast cast. The protective tube often breaks earlier than the amount of erosion.

According to the present invention, in order to prevent this, a refractory layer 1b having heat shock resistance, high corrosion resistance, heat insulation and mechanical strength such as Al 2 O 3 —C, ZrO 2 —C is provided outside the protective tube main body 1a. In this arrangement, the temperature of the protection tube main body 1a can be stably measured without breaking even if the temperature is repeatedly increased and decreased intermittently.

Any method may be used for disposing the refractory layer 1b on the main body 1a. However, in the drawing, the refractory layer 1b is attached to the fixture 5 to which the main body 1a is attached, and does not contact the main body 1a. It has a structure. When the protective tube 1 is put into the molten metal, or when it is taken out from a high temperature (for each tapping of one tap or each casting of one cast), the refractory layer 1b
The thermal shock resistance is alleviated, and the refractory layer 1b is preserved without cooling the main body 1a during cooling, thereby preventing breakage. Further, since the refractory layer 1b is not in contact with the main body 1a, the refractory layer 1b also serves as a cushioning material for a mechanical shock at the time of insertion and withdrawal, thereby protecting the main body 1a. In addition, this refractory layer 1b is easily used to adhere molten steel and slag while maintaining a certain degree of corrosion resistance when put into the molten metal, and this adhered layer forms a protective coat of the main body 1a and is used intermittently. In this case, it becomes a thermal shock relaxation layer.

The refractory layer 1b is preferably made of Al 2 O 3 —C or ZrO 2 —C refractories having a thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and heat insulating properties containing carbon having a brick structure. Examples of suitable refractories are:

The thickness of the refractory layer 1b is suitably about 5 to 50 mm, and the arrangement on the outer surface of the protective tube main body 1a is preferably in the longitudinal direction of the protective tube main body. Although the length is set to be substantially the entire length, the distal end portion is opened so that the distal end of the protective tube main body 1a is exposed to improve the response speed and accuracy of the thermocouple 2.

Specifically, the refractory 1b having the above composition and physical properties
In this embodiment, it is desirable that the main body 1a and the refractory layer 1b are not integrated with each other, but are provided with a loose contact or a gap. This is because, when the gap serves as a heat insulating layer and is integrated, there is no generation of thermal stress due to thermal expansion of both.

According to the method of the present invention, even if the temperature is intermittently measured, the protective tube is not damaged at an early stage, and the temperature can be measured for a long time until the life of the protective tube has expired due to erosion.
