The invention relates to a contact-type infrared temperature sensor that detects a temperature of a heat source, and to a thermal apparatus and an exhaust system that use the contact-type infrared temperature sensor.
In various thermal apparatuses having a heat source provided therein, a temperature sensor is used to detect and measure a temperature of the heat source so as to control the apparatus.
For example, to measure an exhaust gas (heat source) of a car or the like equipped with a diesel engine, a temperature sensor using a thermistor element as a temperature sensing element is used.
Specifically, in the car or the like equipped with a diesel engine, an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is employed for suppressing nitrogen oxides (NOx) and reducing pumping loss.
By mixing an exhaust gas back into an intake air, the EGR system can retard combustion of inert substances contained in the exhaust gas and lower a combustion temperature. In addition, the exhaust gas after combustion accordingly has a low oxygen content. For these reasons, nitrogen oxides (NOx) that are easily generated by combustion under a high-temperature and oxygen-excessive condition can be suppressed from being generated.
Further, by adjusting the oxygen content in the intake air by the amount of the exhaust gas, the pumping loss can be reduced.
In this EGR system, the temperature of the exhaust gas is measured by the temperature sensor so that the optimum control can be performed. Also, in this case, to increase thermal responsiveness of the temperature sensor, the temperature sensing element of the temperature sensor may be placed in a high-temperature environment, such as being directly arranged in the high-temperature exhaust gas.

Similarly,
Hereinafter, a contact-type infrared temperature sensor according to the first embodiment of the invention is described with reference to
A contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 absorbs infrared energy as heat and outputs by utilizing a temperature rise caused by the heat absorption, the contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 including a cylindrical member 2, an optical means 3, an infrared temperature detecting member 4 and a holder 5.
The cylindrical member 2 is made of a metal having heat resistance. For example, the cylindrical member 2 is made out of stainless steel and formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape with one end as a closed section 21 and the other end as an open section 22. The cylindrical member 2 is formed by subjecting a sheet material to press processing or by subjecting a wire to cold forging processing, and so on.
A temperature-sensitive section 23 is formed on the side of the closed section 21, i.e., on a portion of the cylindrical member 2. The temperature-sensitive section 23 can directly contact a heat source and receive heat. In detail, the temperature-sensitive section 23 is a thin wall section formed on the side where the closed section 21 is. While a wall thickness dimension t1 of a cylindrical section is about 0.4 mm, a wall thickness dimension t2 of the thin wall section is set about ½ or less of 0.2 mm or less.
Moreover, the thin wall section as the temperature-sensitive section 23 of the cylindrical member 2 may be integrally formed with the cylindrical section or may be formed separately. If the thin wall section is formed separately, the thin-formed and separated member can be joined to one end of the cylindrical section by welding or brazing, etc.
In addition, austenitic stainless steel with excellent heat resistance, such as SUS310S, SUS304 or SUS316, etc., can be used as the stainless steel for forming the cylindrical member 2. Generally, austenitic stainless steel is preferred. However, Inconel (registered trademark) being a nickel-based alloy, Kovar being a cobalt-based alloy and Kanthal being a chromium-aluminum-based alloy and other highly heat-resistant metal materials may also be used to form the cylindrical member 2.
Among the alloys, Kanthal is the most excellent in heat resistance and oxidation resistance and has a maximum operating temperature of 1350° C. In addition, if there is a large amount of sulfide gas, it is preferred to use Kanthal.
For measuring a high temperature of 1400° C. or higher in applications such as an electric furnace, etc., a ceramic material such as alumina, zirconia, magnesia, calcia, carbon, silica, etc. or a composite material thereof, or a metal being a high melting metal such as molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, platinum, iridium, etc. or an alloy thereof, can be used.
Further, if satisfactory strength is to be achieved, the entire cylindrical member 2 may be formed thin. That is to say, the cylindrical section may also be formed thin.
The optical means 3 is an optical member and also a light guide pipe. This light guide pipe is, e.g., formed of copper into a cylindrical pipe shape and has open sections 31 and 32 at both ends. In addition, an inner face of the light guide pipe is mirror-polished and has gold plating applied thereto. Accordingly, the inner face of the light guide pipe has high reflectivity and functions as an optical function section 33 to guide infrared light along the inner face.
Such light guide pipe has an outer diameter dimension smaller than an inner diameter dimension of the cylindrical member 2 and is disposed to be accommodated inside the cylindrical member 2.
Specifically, it is configured that a predetermined gap Gp is formed so that an outer circumferential surface of the light guide pipe and an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical member 2 do not directly contact each other. For this reason, due to the gap Gp, an air layer as a heat insulating layer is interposed between the light guide pipe and the cylindrical member 2. In addition, the open section 31 at one end of the light guide pipe faces the thin wall section being the temperature-sensitive section 23 of the cylindrical member 2, and the open section 32 at the other end is located on the side where the open section 22 of the cylindrical member 2 is and faces the later-described infrared temperature detecting member 4.
Accordingly, the optical function section 33 functions to guide the infrared light radiated from the temperature-sensitive section 23 to the infrared temperature detecting member 4.
The infrared temperature detecting member 4 includes a thermopile element 41 as a sensing element that senses infrared light, a thermistor element 42 as a sensing element for temperature compensation, and a package 43 as an envelope that accommodates these sensing elements. Such infrared temperature detecting member 4 is disposed on the side where the open section 22 of the cylindrical member 2 is, facing and spaced from the temperature-sensitive section 23.
The thermopile element 41 is composed of a plurality of thermocouples formed on a substrate, and outputs, as an output voltage, an electromotive force generated by receiving infrared light. In addition, the thermistor element 42 is mounted on a substrate, having a resistance value that varies with variation in temperature and detecting an ambient temperature according to the variation in the resistance value.
The package 43 includes a cap 44 made of metal into a substantially cylindrical shape and a stem 45 similarly made of metal into a substantially disk shape. A circularly opened window 48 is formed on an upper surface side of the cap 44.
The thermopile element 41 and the thermistor element 42 are disposed on an upper surface of the stem 45. Four lead terminals 46 are attached to the stem 45 by vertically passing therethrough. The lead terminals 46 and electrodes of the thermopile element 41 and the thermistor element 42 are connected by bonding wires. In this way, a driving power can be supplied to or a detection signal can be sent to the thermopile element 41 and the thermistor element 42.
Moreover, a chip-type thermistor, a thermocouple and a resistance thermometer may be used as the sensing element for temperature compensation. The above are preferably accommodated in the package 43, but may also be arranged outside the package 43 as long as the ambient temperature can be detected.
In addition, the form or configuration of the infrared temperature detecting member 4 is not particularly limited as long as the infrared temperature detecting member 4 has a function of detecting a temperature by infrared light.
The holder 5 is formed from a metal material having good thermal conductivity, e.g., a material such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel or brass, etc., into a substantially cylindrical shape, and has an external threaded section 51 on its outer circumferential surface and a flange section 52 at its end part. In addition, a member attachment section is formed on an inner circumferential side of the holder 5. The aforementioned cylindrical member 2, optical means 3 and infrared temperature detecting member 4 are attached to be fitted into and fixed to this member attachment section.
In addition, an insulating member 53 holding the infrared temperature detecting member 4 in an insulated manner is attached from the side of the flange 52 of the holder 5. Further, lead wires that are not illustrated are connected to the lead terminals 46 that pass through and protrude from the insulating member 53 so as to be led out. These led-out lead wires are protected by being covered by a metal pipe or a protection tube.
The contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 configured in this way is mounted by screwing the external threaded section 51 of the holder 5 into a screw hole of an exhaust pipe Ep or the like as an exhaust passage through which an exhaust gas G emitted from an engine passes. In this case, the temperature-sensitive section 23 of the cylindrical member 2 is exposed to the high-temperature exhaust gas G so as to receive heat of the exhaust gas G.
Next, actions and effects of the contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 are described. The cylindrical member 2 arranged in the high-temperature atmosphere of the exhaust gas G (heat source) receives the heat of the exhaust gas G mainly at the temperature-sensitive section 23 thereof.
Based on the heat reception of the temperature-sensitive section 23, the infrared light radiated from the temperature-sensitive section 23 is guided from the open section 31 at one end of the light guide pipe as the optical means 3 to the side where the open section 32 at the other end of the light guide pipe is along the inner face of the light guide, i.e., by means of the optical function section 33, and passes through the window 48 at the package 43 of the infrared temperature detecting member 4 so as to be received by the thermopile element 41.
The thermopile element 41 that has received infrared energy outputs, as the output voltage, the electromotive force caused by a temperature difference. On the other hand, the ambient temperature is detected as a variation in the resistance value by the thermistor element 42 that detects the ambient temperature, and according to this detection result and the aforementioned output, an amount of the infrared light radiated from the temperature-sensitive section 23 is accurately measured and the temperature of the exhaust gas G is measured.
In such contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1, the temperature-sensitive section 23 is disposed spaced from the infrared temperature detecting member 4, and it is the cylindrical member 2 that is directly placed in the high-temperature exhaust gas G. As a result, the infrared temperature detecting member 4 can avoid being exposed in the high-temperature exhaust gas G, and thermal deterioration of the infrared temperature detecting member 4 can be suppressed. In addition, since the temperature-sensitive section 23 is a thin wall section, high-speed thermal responsiveness can be realized.
Moreover, since the light guide pipe and the cylindrical member 2 have a heat insulating layer formed therebetween due to the gap Gp, the heat of the cylindrical member 2 can be suppressed from being transmitted to the light guide pipe and being conducted to the infrared temperature detecting member 4. Further, because the holder 5 is formed of a material having good thermal conductivity, the heat transmitted from the cylindrical member 2 can be effectively dissipated and a thermal effect on the infrared temperature detecting member 4 can be reduced.
According to the contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 of this embodiment, even if the temperature-sensitive section 23 of the cylindrical member 2 has a temperature of 1000° C., the temperature of the infrared temperature detecting member 4 can be maintained at 150° C. or lower.
Moreover, although the cylindrical member 2 in the above has been described as being formed of a metal material, the cylindrical member 2 may also be formed of a ceramic material. For example, alumina can be used. Alumina is a material excellent in heat resistance and is applicable even in a high-temperature atmosphere at 1600° C.
If the cylindrical member 2 is formed of ceramics, the wall thickness dimension t1 of the cylindrical section is set about 1 mm, and the wall thickness dimension t2 of the thin wall section is set about ½ or less of 0.5 mm or less.
Moreover, although it is preferred to use alumina as the ceramic material, silicon carbide, quartz glass, silicon nitride or the like, zirconia and other ceramic materials may also be used.
Due to such configuration, thermal responsiveness is accelerated, and it is the ceramic cylindrical member 2 that is directly placed in the high-temperature exhaust gas G. Therefore, the infrared temperature detecting member 4 is prevented from thermal deterioration and is increased in reliability, and a stable temperature measurement is possible.
In addition, the case where a light guide pipe is provided as the optical means 3 has been described in the above; however, there may be no light guide pipe. For example, the optical function section 33 may be formed on an inner face of the cylindrical member 2. In this case, to increase reflectivity of the inner face of the cylindrical member 2, mirror finishing can be applied thereto, or an infrared reflective film can be formed thereon.
As stated above, according to this embodiment, since it is the cylindrical member 2 that is directly placed in the high-temperature exhaust gas G, the infrared temperature detecting member 4 can be prevented from thermal deterioration and reliability thereof can be ensured. Accordingly, the contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 suitable for measuring the temperature of the exhaust gas G of a car can be provided.
Next, a contact-type infrared temperature sensor according to the second embodiment of the invention is described with reference to
Moreover, in the following embodiments, the same or equivalent parts to those in the first embodiment are denoted with the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions will be omitted.
This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the shape of the thin wall section being the temperature-sensitive section 23 of the cylindrical member 2.
(Example 1) As shown in
Further, Further, it is possible to receive heat of the fluid in the exhaust gas G and the like in the wide outer circumferential surface of a conical shape, which is one of the preferred shapes of the temperature sensing portion 23.
According to such configuration, the same effects as those in the first embodiment can be achieved.
(Example 2) As shown in
Accordingly, the same effects as those in Example 1 can be achieved.
Next, a contact-type infrared temperature sensor according to the third embodiment of the invention is described with reference to
In this embodiment, the optical means 3 such as a lens member or the like acts as the optical function section 33, functioning to concentrate the infrared light radiated from the temperature-sensitive section 23 and guide the infrared light to the infrared temperature detecting member 4.
(Example 1) As shown in
According to such configuration, the infrared light radiated from the temperature-sensitive section 23 is concentrated by the lens member 3L and guided to the infrared temperature detecting member 4. Specifically, the infrared light passes from the lens member 3L through the window 48 to be concentrated and received at the thermopile element 41.
(Example 2) As shown in
The mirror member 3M is made of metal or resin material and has an inner face formed by a reflecting surface in the form of a paraboloid of revolution. In addition, the thermopile element 41 of the infrared temperature detecting member 4 is arranged at a focus of this reflecting surface.
Accordingly, the infrared light radiated from the temperature-sensitive section 23 is concentrated by the mirror member 3M and guided to the infrared temperature detecting member 4. Specifically, infrared parallel light radiated from the temperature-sensitive section 23 is reflected by the reflecting surface, and passes through the window 48 so as to be efficiently concentrated at the thermopile element 41.
(Example 3) As shown in
Accordingly, the infrared light radiated from the temperature-sensitive section 23 is restricted by the viewing angle restricting member 3V and guided to the infrared temperature detecting member 4, so as to be efficiently concentrated at the thermopile element 41.
Next, a contact-type infrared temperature sensor according to the fourth embodiment of the invention is described with reference to
In this embodiment, an infrared filter 47 is provided at the window 48 formed at the cap 44 of the infrared temperature detecting member 4. The infrared filter 47 has a function of selectively transmitting infrared light, and in this embodiment, the infrared filter 47 for transmitting infrared light having a wavelength of 5 μm to 20 μm is used. A transmission wavelength of infrared light is not limited but may be suitably set depending on the measured temperature.
The contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 shown in
Due to such configuration, based on the heat reception of the temperature-sensitive section 23, the infrared light radiated from the temperature-sensitive section 23 is guided to the side where the open section 32 at the other end of the light guide pipe is by means of the optical function section 33, and is transmitted through the infrared filter 47 at the window 48 of the infrared temperature detecting member 4 so as to be received by the thermopile element 41.
Accordingly, since an intended infrared light can be selectively received by the thermopile element 41, accuracy of temperature measurement can be improved.
Next, a contact-type infrared temperature sensor according to the fifth embodiment of the invention is described with reference to
This embodiment shows a configuration in which the cylindrical member 2 also serves as the light guide pipe as the optical means 3.
The light guide pipe as the optical means 3 is, e.g., formed of copper into a cylindrical pipe shape and has the open sections 31 and 32 at both ends. In addition, the inner face of the light guide pipe is mirror-polished and has gold plating applied thereto, and thus has high reflectivity and functions as the optical function section 33 to guide infrared light along the inner face.
In addition, the temperature-sensitive section 23 formed into a conical shape is joined to the open section 31 at one end by brazing, etc. The temperature-sensitive section 23 is, e.g., made out of stainless steel, and formed thin. On the other hand, the open section 32 at the other end faces the infrared temperature detecting member 4.
Accordingly, the optical function section 33 functions to receive heat by the temperature-sensitive section 23 being a thin wall section and to guide the infrared light radiated from the temperature-sensitive section 23 to the infrared temperature detecting member 4.
According to such configuration, the same effects as those in the first embodiment can also be achieved.
Next, characteristics of a contact-type infrared temperature sensor are described with reference to
In
In addition, in
Next, embodiments that use the contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 are described. The contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 is used in various thermal apparatuses having a heat source for measuring a temperature of the heat source.
For example, the contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 can be applied to thermal apparatuses such as an engine using an exhaust gas as the heat source, a microwave oven, an IH cooking heater, a gas water heater, a stove, etc. In addition, the contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 can also be used for measuring a temperature of an electrolyte of a fuel cell, a fuel reformer, etc.
Specifically, an embodiment using the contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 in an EGR system is described with reference to
The EGR system includes an engine E, an intake passage Ap, an exhaust passage Ep, an EGR exhaust passage Rp and an engine control unit ECU. In addition, a throttle valve Tb is provided at the intake passage Ap, and a diesel particulate filter DPF and a NOx purification catalyst converter Cc are provided on a downstream side of the exhaust passage Ep. Further, an EGR cooler and an EGR valve are disposed at the EGR exhaust passage Rp.
In an EGR system of such configuration, the aforementioned contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 is attached to a plurality of positions in the exhaust passage Ep. A detected exhaust gas temperature detected by the contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 is inputted to the engine control unit ECU and an operation state of the engine E is controlled.
As stated above, the contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 can be suitably used in an EGR system and other exhaust systems.
Further, an embodiment using the contact-type infrared temperature sensor 1 for measuring a temperature of an in-furnace molten metal in an electric furnace or a gas furnace is described.
In this case, the basic configuration of Example 3 described in the aforementioned third embodiment can be suitably used. As shown in
The cylindrical member 2 is made of ceramics and is formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape with one end as the closed section 21 and the other end as the open section 22. The viewing angle restricting member 3V having a cylindrical pipe shape is disposed inside the cylindrical member 2. The viewing angle restricting member 3V is made out of an aluminum material and its surface is subjected to a black alumite treatment. That is to say, the viewing angle restricting member 3V is configured to reduce reflectivity.
Accordingly, because of the viewing angle restricting member 3V, infrared light radiated from inside the cylindrical member 2 is properly restricted, i.e., restricted to the infrared light radiated from the temperature-sensitive section 23 being the closed section 21 and received by the infrared temperature detecting member 4.
Moreover, the viewing angle restricting member 3V may also be capable of adjusting a viewing angle by being moved forward and backward in an axial direction inside the cylindrical member 2. Specifically, for example, an adjustment method is conceivable in which the viewing angle restricting member 3V is configured to be screwed into the holder 5 and the viewing angle restricting member 3V is rotated to be moved forward and backward in the axial direction.
In addition, although it is preferred that the temperature-sensitive section 23 be formed thin, the temperature-sensitive section 23 may have the same wall thickness dimension as the cylindrical section. Further, length dimensions or diameter dimensions of the cylindrical member 2 and the viewing angle restricting member 3V in the axial direction are not particularly limited but can be suitably selected according to specifications. Furthermore, the viewing angle restricting member 3V is not necessarily subjected to a black alumite treatment, but may be subjected to a treatment as long as the treatment will reduce reflectivity.
Moreover, the invention is not limited to the configurations in the above embodiments but can be transformed in various ways without departing from the gist of the invention. In addition, the above embodiments are presented as examples but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
For example, a flat shape, a cylindrical shape or a conical shape, or a combined shape of these shapes, etc., may be suitably adopted as the shape of the temperature-sensitive section. The shape is not particularly limited.
The infrared temperature detecting member can employ a temperature sensing element of a thermal type or quantum type. In the case of a thermal type, a thermopile, a thermistor and a pyroelectric element can be used; in the case of a quantum type, indium antimonide (InSb), mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) or lead tin telluride (PbSnTe) can be used. The form or configuration of the infrared temperature detecting member is not particularly limited.
