Chapter 354 Thermocouple Temperature Detector

"Three brothers, I'm a technician who came here to learn. I want to ask what you are looking at here?"

Chen Jianye took out his notebook and asked politely.

"Just look at the temperature. What else can you look at here?"

"The three of us were bored, so we came up to take a bath, haha."

"The molten iron in this furnace has a temperature requirement. It has to be around 1,200 degrees before it can be poured into the mold, so the three of us are here to monitor the temperature."

The three people gave different answers, but they basically explained what their work was about.

"Excuse me, how can we tell the temperature with our naked eyes?"

Chen Jianye was puzzled.

"You definitely can't tell if you have no experience. The three of us specialize in this."

"The temperature of the molten iron varies, as does the color."

"This thing is not difficult. It all depends on experience. You can do it if you work for a month."

The man who spoke more seriously said.

"I see. This job is not easy. It's okay in the winter, but it's really hard in the summer."

Chen Jianye nodded slightly, expressing his gratitude for the dedication of the front-line workers.

"What can we do? Now it's our turn, and we can't just say no."

"Fortunately, I'm almost done."

the man replied.

"What do you mean by finished? I think you still have a long time before retirement."

Chen Jianye didn't understand again.

"Don't think we are just standing here. There is actually a lot of dust floating out of the furnace, which is not good for the eyes."

"After two years of doing this job, my eyes can no longer see well, so I have to move to a lower level job and let new people come in."

"One of them worked for half a year, the other worked for a year, and I worked for a year and eight months, and then I was fired after another four months."

The worker said happily.

"What about the eyes of the workers who did this job before? Are there any long-term damages?"

Chen Jianye felt uncomfortable.

The steel rolling mill still has outdated equipment.

As far as he knew, steel mills in later generations did not need people to monitor the temperature of the furnace. They had thermocouple temperature detectors and external infrared temperature measurement methods.

There are even specially developed equipment to monitor the C and CO content in molten iron.

Ensure the toughness, strength and other indicators of steel raw materials.

An advanced group.

It's nothing like a steel mill, where workers can only be used as temperature guns during this period.

Ok?

Thermocouple temperature detector!

Chen Jianye suddenly discovered a very critical point.

He can't make an infrared temperature gun using existing technology, but he can try a thermocouple temperature detector.

Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you have to do it first. Only by doing it will you have a chance of success.

"Most of the previous workers had poor eyesight, but there was nothing we could do about it. We had to do this job and endure the hardship."

"The factory will also give us some subsidies. No matter what the work is, someone has to do it, right?"

The workers' attitude is quite good.

It may also be related to the fact that his "service" is about to expire.

The other two workers did not have such a relaxed attitude.

"Thank you. My next research direction is to make a temperature detector to monitor the temperature of the furnace."

"Maybe I can help you."

Chen Jianye said.

"Ah? Can you do it?"

"If you can do it, I won't have to stay here."

The other two workers suddenly became excited.

One of them has to work for a year and a half, and the other has to work for a year.

To be honest, doing this job in the summer is no different from torture.

It belongs to continuous sauna at work.

"I don't know if I can do it, but this will definitely be my main research direction in the future."

"Technology should be used to benefit the masses. We cannot let our fellow workers continue to do this kind of miserable work."

Chen Jianye said loudly.

"You are such a nice guy, but you have to work hard."

"I'm relying on you for the rest of my life. Many old workers' eyesight is getting worse and worse. I'm worried that I'll go blind one day."

The two workers said excitedly.

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

Chen Jianye waved his hand and walked to Luo Renping's side.

"The chief engineer once led us to develop the temperature detector, and we also cooperated with some on-campus institutions and research and development institutions, but we have never been able to make a breakthrough."

"You are so arrogant, luckily I was the only one who heard it. If other engineers heard it, they would laugh at you."

Luo Renping said.

"I just want to try it out and see if it works."

Chen Jianye said modestly.

"Go ahead and try if you want. You're young anyway, so it doesn't matter if you spend two or three years."

"It's a good thing for young people to have ambition. If you need any help from me, just let me know."

Although Luo Renping was not optimistic about Chen Jianye's research results, he admired Chen Jianye's research spirit.

Technology should be used to benefit the masses.

It coincides exactly with the idea of ​​the big boss.

This is also Luo Renping’s inner pursuit.

"Engineer Luo, where is your office? I will suspend my study plan and focus on developing the temperature detector."

"If I need help, I can come to your office to find you, is that okay?"

Chen Jianye said.

"Of course, our technical office still has the previous research and development data of the temperature detector. If you need it, I can apply for access permission for you."

Luo Renping told Chen Jianye his office address.

The two returned to their respective workplaces.

Chen Jianye recalled his memory about the principle of thermocouple temperature detection.

Thermocouple is a thermoelectric sensor that converts temperature data into electromotive force using the thermoelectric effect.

In simple terms, when two different metals or semiconductor materials are welded together, an electromotive force will be generated between the two when the temperature changes.

The magnitude of this electromotive force is proportional to the temperature.

By detecting the magnitude of the electromotive force, the temperature of the detection point can be calculated proportionally.

The principle is very simple, and has even been used by many heavy-duty enterprises abroad.

However, during this period, advanced foreign equipment was banned in China.

Not to mention equipment, they didn’t even provide any information.

Chen Jianye looked a little excited.

If he could develop a thermocouple detector, it would not only solve the suffering of workers in steelmaking furnaces at rolling mills, but would also make a great contribution to various domestic production fields.

In many production links, the temperature needs to be accurately controlled.

Whether it is heavy industry or light industry, thermocouple temperature measurement equipment is needed.

Such as steel mills, automobile factories, brick factories, textile factories, breweries, beverage factories, food processing plants and so on.

Once he completes the research and development of the thermocouple, he will definitely be able to meet the requirements of the benchwork innovation invention project in the system.

Let 1/3 become 2/3.

One step closer to breaking through to level 8 for benchwork.

Whether for the steel mill workers, for the country, or for himself, Chen Jianye is determined to develop the thermocouple technology.

Gurgling.

Chen Jianye took a big sip of water and forced himself to calm down.

If he wants to develop thermocouple temperature measurement, he still needs the help of the organization.

But this time Mo Qingyou couldn't help him, not even the entire workshop could help him.

Because his research and development project this time is a bit high-end.

The technical experts in the workshop can only provide assistance in the work, and the focus of this research and development is on the experiment.

Chen Jianye remembers that the material of thermocouple is heat-sensitive element, which is made of copper, nickel and chromium.

The outer protective materials include stainless steel, ceramics and so on.

But the specific proportions and experiments require help from higher-level units.

Chen Jianye had only one choice.

That is to find a technical office to cooperate with.

The problem arises again. If he wants the technical office to cooperate with his research and development, he has to convince the chief engineer.

Chen Jianye stretched out his index finger and gently pressed his temple.

He had to come up with something that would get the chief engineer to give the order and the technical office to fully cooperate with him.
