Chapter 362 Brainstorming Ideas
“There is nothing wrong with our technical solution!”
“The practice was very successful. Awesome! It’s a genius design!”
"Comrade Jianye, you are amazing. I think we should ask Chief Engineer Su to come over and take a look."
A group of engineers celebrated.
They have never worked on such an easy project.
The R&D principles are correct, the plans are correct, and the practices are correct.
It's simply a free credit.
"Don't get too excited, everyone. The experiment is not over yet."
"Once the experimental process is complete, I will report to Chief Engineer Su."
Chen Jianye said calmly.
In fact, he was also very excited.
If the thermocouple project is successful, its impact on the entire industrial production will definitely be no less than that of the fixture project.
In some more demanding industrial production, the value may be higher.
For example, aerospace and military industries.
The temperature of the muffle furnace continued to rise.
All the way up to a thousand degrees.
puff!
There was a slight burning sound in the muffle.
Li Jisheng was also unable to accurately measure the voltage data using an electric meter.
The excitement of the crowd cooled down.
There was no frustration, though.
It is impossible for a project to be smooth sailing. They are all experienced engineers and it is impossible for them to give up because of a small problem.
"Everyone disperse. I'll open the muffle furnace and see what's going on."
Luo Renping said.
Everyone dispersed.
Luo Renping carefully opened the muffle furnace.
There was a smell of burning waste rubber coming from the stove.
"It's probably because the wire couldn't withstand the high temperature and burned out."
Li Jisheng made the judgment.
"We use heat-resistant materials for the conductors, and the outer layer is wrapped with stainless steel. Is this not okay?"
The engineer in charge of the conductor material was a little annoyed.
The good progress of the experiment was terminated because of his selection of materials.
"Most heat-resistant materials cannot withstand a high temperature of one thousand degrees. Perhaps we can consider using ceramics directly as the material for wrapping the wires, and then wrapping them with stainless steel as an anti-collision wrapping material."
Chen Jianye proposed.
"I think it's possible. The first set of thermocouple equipment should be made of heat-resistant ceramics."
"We will consider replacing it with other more convenient materials in the future."
Luo Renping agreed.
Since the project leader has spoken, everyone naturally has no objections.
If heat-resistant ceramics are used on a full-scale basis, limitations in materials and processes will become a big problem.
But if we only make one piece, using heat-resistant ceramics, the resources of the steel mill are definitely sufficient.
"This experiment was not without results. At least we obtained the electromotive force data of thermocouple materials at different high temperatures below 1,000 degrees."
"Next, Xiao Chen, get a few more heat-resistant wires."
"Master Zhao, please continue welding the connections between different materials."
"The rest of you will be divided into two groups to study the proportion and selection of materials. Let's get busy."
Luo Renping began to make arrangements.
"I have a proposal."
Chen Jianye spoke.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"The principle of thermocouples is that different materials will generate electromotive force when they are at the same temperature."
“If the product is put into use, we cannot have an electrician to measure the electromotive force in every thermocouple usage scenario.”
"So I was thinking, can we display the temperature digitally, or use a pointer meter instead of an electric meter, so that the operator can see the temperature more intuitively."
Chen Jianye said.
“This is a very good suggestion.”
Luo Renping's eyes lit up.
"Yes, it would be very convenient in production if we could use a pointer meter to indicate the temperature."
“This is really important.”
"Comrade Chen Jianye is indeed a very clever idea."
Several engineers said.
"Is there anyone willing to step forward and work with Master Zhao Riyang to design a temperature pointer meter?"
Chen Jianye looked around and asked.
"I."
"I."
"I am willing."
Three engineers raised their hands.
"How about this, Master Zhao, you pick two engineers to work with you."
"The thermocouple thermometer must be displayed in the form of a pointer meter in the end, so that ordinary workers can know the working temperature by just looking at the pointer meter."
“This is a very important mission.”
Chen Jianye said.
"Comrade Chen Jianye, I promise to complete the task."
Li Jisheng stood straight and shouted loudly.
He picked two engineers to work with him on the research and development.
Chen Jianye also shared some of his ideas with Li Jisheng.
The temperature is displayed by a pointer meter, which is neither difficult nor easy.
Taking the actual production in the furnace room of a steel rolling mill as an example, if the furnace is required to reach 1,200 degrees Celsius, then the pointer range should be set between 1,100 and 1,300 degrees Celsius.
Expand it a little more and add another 100 degrees on both sides, which is 1,000 to 1,400 degrees.
The pointer will not move below one thousand degrees.
After the temperature reaches one thousand degrees, the pointer moves to the direction of one thousand degrees. Then, as the temperature rises, the pointer deflects and rotates slowly.
The main focus is on the ability to control electricity.
After Li Jisheng and two other engineers fully understood his ideas, Chen Jianye let them conduct experiments.
Looking at the engineers busy at work in the laboratory, Chen Jianye's lips curled up slightly.
He felt as if he had become a product manager, designing a product and then letting the best people help him complete it.
Fortunately, he worked in the steel rolling mill, which was backed by the largest state-owned heavy industrial unit in the city.
There are a lot of talented people here. No matter what top technical experts or engineers you want, we have them all.
If he were in an ordinary state-owned unit.
It takes a month just to make the fixture and prepare the materials.
If you want to promote it, you have to apply at various levels.
It’s not like a steel mill, where there are plenty of materials and skilled workers.
If it’s not enough, get it from somewhere else.
As long as results can be achieved, leaders will invest resources in it.
Highlight a bold and arrogant person.
Chen Jianye worked with everyone for a while and felt like he had some free time again.
These people were much more skilled than him in the specific operations of the experiment.
Luo Renping is in charge of the progress, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
Luo Renping was full of energy, and Chen Jianye felt that his guidance from the sidelines was not only ineffective, but also an eyesore.
He simply walked out of the laboratory and returned to the office.
Chen Jianye did not report to Su Xincheng the thermocouple measurement data from the laboratory just now.
Because an experiment is only half successful.
When he is completely successful, it will not be too late for him to report to Su Xincheng.
After resting for a while in the office, Chen Jianye rode his bike back to the workshop.
Continue to inspect the status of fixtures in each work section.
After walking around, he returned to the first shift of fitters.
Sitting in the team area, Chen Jianye was thinking about the work at hand.
Both the promotion of fixtures and the research and development of thermocouple temperature detectors are proceeding in an orderly manner.
There is still one creative task left to upgrade the benchwork from LV7 to LV8.
Where should I look for it?
After sitting for a while, Chen Jianye felt enough rest and walked towards the electrician class.
He decided to systematically learn basic electrician, welder and other trades.
Regardless of whether they are useful or not, upgrade them all to LV3.
Improving your own skill level is one thing, but more importantly, upgrading your skills to LV3 by yourself can start a round of lotteries.
He has now reached the seventh level as a fitter, and can apply what he has learned to other types of work.
So the learning progress is definitely very fast.
Since he couldn't find a research and development direction for the time being, he would continue to improve his level. Maybe he would discover new ideas while working.
