(It melts into a liquid state at about 0 ° C and solidifies at 1200 ° C or less to become a solid). If the thickness increases, it hinders the operation of the furnace and must be constantly monitored.
Since the inside of the furnace is hot, it is necessary to measure from the outside of the furnace because objects such as sensors for measuring slag thickness cannot be inserted. Conventionally, the ultrasonic measurement method shown in Fig. 4 was used. Was.

送受信信号をモニタする。In FIG. 4, a slag 2 is attached to the inside 10 of the furnace wall 1. When measuring this adhesion thickness,
An ultrasonic wave is injected into the slug 2 from the ultrasonic probe 3,
Since the slag 2 has a high temperature, the probe 3 cannot be directly contacted with it, and since the furnace wall 1 is made of a refractory material and is usually porous and does not transmit ultrasonic waves, ultrasonic waves easily pass through. The delay material 24 is inserted into the furnace wall 1, and the ultrasonic wave is injected into the slag 2 via the delay material 24. An ultrasonic wave transmitter / receiver 5 operates the probe 3 to transmit ultrasonic waves, amplifies the reception signal received by the probe 3, and outputs the amplified signal to the oscilloscope 6. Then, the transmission / reception signal is monitored by the oscilloscope 6.

される。Here, the transmission and reception conditions will be described. The ultrasonic transmission wave 7 emitted from the probe 3 propagates in the delay material 24 and is partially reflected by the furnace inner end surface 8. The rest is injected into the slag 2. The ultrasonic waves incident on the inside of the slag 2 are totally reflected by the furnace inner surface 9 of the slag 2, and 7 '
As shown by, the probe 3 receives the signal through the same route as the transmission.

In FIG. 5, the horizontal axis is the time with reference to the time of transmission, and the vertical axis is the intensity of the received signal. The transmitted wave 7 is at time 0, an echo 11 appears at the end face 8 of the delay material at a time t 1 hours after that, and a slag surface echo 12 at the furnace inner surface 9 at a time t 3 further.

【発明が解決しようとする課題】従来例では遅延材24
を用いることにより高温スラグ2の厚みを計測できた
が、遅延材の長さが大きくなると遅れエコーと呼ばれる
別のエコーが発生し、スラグ面からのエコーの判別を困
難にする問題点があった。In the conventional example, the delay member 24 is used.
Although the thickness of the high-temperature slag 2 can be measured by using, the problem is that if the length of the delay material increases, another echo called a delayed echo is generated, which makes it difficult to distinguish the echo from the slag surface. .

遅れる時間Δtは次式により求められる。As shown in FIG. 6 (b), the delayed echo means that a longitudinal wave hitting the side surface of the delay material changes to a transverse wave at point A (called mode conversion), and further changes to a longitudinal wave at point B. This is to return to the probe. Further, since there are various paths such as multiple side reflections due to transverse waves, B ', B'',B''' and many echoes 13 are generated as shown in FIG. 6 (a). . The time Δt at which the delayed echo 13 lags the bottom echo B is calculated by the following equation.

ゆう問題点があった。Here, C L is a longitudinal wave sound velocity, and C S is a transverse wave sound velocity. As a result, although it is possible to make a distinction, the delayed echo 13 overlaps with the echo 12 from the slag surface to be measured as shown in FIG. 7, which makes it difficult to make a distinction.

状とした計測装置とする。In order to solve such a problem, the present invention adjusts the shape of a delay material in which ultrasonic waves propagate to the inside of the furnace so that a part or the whole length thereof is adjusted to the spread angle of ultrasonic waves. The measuring device has a taper-like shape that does not cause delayed echo.

に計測することができる。According to the present invention, the transmission wave emitted from the probe by such means has a taper shape in which the delay material spreads toward the inside of the furnace, and this taper shape is adjusted to the spread angle of ultrasonic waves. And the ultrasonic wave propagates as it is without hitting the side surface of the delay member and being reflected. A part of the propagated ultrasonic wave is reflected on the end surface inside the furnace, the rest enters the slag, is totally reflected on the surface of the slag, propagates again through the delay material, and returns to the probe. At this time, the thickness of the slag is obtained from the time difference between the echo of the end surface of the delay material that occurs when reflected on the end face inside the furnace and the echo of the slag surface that occurs when reflected on the slag surface. Since the echo does not occur, the aforementioned echo and the delayed echo do not overlap with each other, and the thickness of the slag can be accurately measured.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a slag thickness measuring device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing external dimensions of the delay material in FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numerals 1 to 3
Since 5 and 10 are the same as those in the conventional example of FIG. The characteristic part of the present invention resides in the part of the delay member 4, which is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG.

音波の拡がり角θは通常次式で表される。As the delay member 4, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the diameter of the inside of the furnace is made larger than that of the outside of the furnace in accordance with the divergence angle of the transmitted wave 7 emitted from the probe 3, and is tapered. To use. The shape and dimensions of the delay member 4 are shown in FIG. The spread angle θ of ultrasonic waves is usually expressed by the following equation.
【0017】θ≒140×λ/D(度);ここで、λ:

るとθは35°である。When the delay material is ceramic and the ultrasonic frequency is 2 MHz, λ is about 5 mm. If D is 20 mm, θ is 35 °.
【0019】図2に示すように、遅延材の超音波入射側

信と同じ経路を通って探触子3にて受信される。When the delay member 4 having such a tapered shape and size is used, the ultrasonic transmission wave 7 emitted from the probe 3 in FIG. 1 is delayed without hitting the side surface of the delay member 4 on the way. The light propagates inside the material 4 and is partially reflected by the end face 8, but the rest is incident on the slag 2. The ultrasonic wave that has entered the slag 2 is totally reflected by the surface 9 of the slug 2 and is received by the probe 3 through the same path as the transmission.

ラグ厚みを精度良く計測できる。In this case, since the delay material 4 is tapered in accordance with the spread angle of ultrasonic waves, the reflected wave that strikes the side surface disappears and a delayed echo does not occur. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Since the echo 12 can be clearly discriminated, the slag thickness can be accurately measured.

様の作用、効果を奏するものである。FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment in which the shape of the delay member is changed, and the delay member 14 has a trumpet shape in its entire length. In this case, if the ultrasonic wave is emitted from the probe from one end of the dimension d'and the taper shape is adjusted to at least the spread angle of the ultrasonic wave, the same operation and effect as the above-described first embodiment can be obtained. It is a thing.

It can also be applied to the thickness of molten steel, the thickness of char in the recovery boiler furnace, and the like.

上、安全性の向上に寄与するため産業上有益である。As described above in detail, in the present invention, the configuration of the delay material in which ultrasonic waves propagate is tapered so as to spread toward the inside of the furnace so that delayed echo does not occur. Since there is no overlap of echoes due to the generation of delayed echoes, and the slag thickness in the furnace can be measured accurately, it is possible to accurately grasp the operating state of the furnace and contribute to the improvement of operating efficiency and safety, which is an industrial advantage.
