The invention relates to the technical field of temperature metering device, in particular to a scanning switch for calibration of a temperature metering device and a calibration system thereof.
In the process of industry production, temperature is one of the most important parameter parameters to be measured and controlled. The temperature metering device used for temperature measurement must be calibrated regularly by calibration system, the calibration system of the temperature metering device generally comprises an electrical measuring instrument, a scanning switch, a constant temperature source and a PC machine, the scanning switch is generally a rotary discs structure, and the electrical measuring instrument is one-to-one connected to a plurality of calibrated sensors by a rotation method.
The scanning switch is an important component in the transmission process of temperature values, and it can control the conduction between the main channel and any sub channels to achieve the purpose of sampling a plurality of signals from a plurality of channels using a standard electrical measuring instrument. In addition to the temperature value transmission method using fixed temperature points, the transmission process of a large number of temperature values are realized by the comparison between the standard and calibration, that is, using a constant temperature source to provide the temperature environment required for the test, putting the standard sensor and the calibrated sensor together into the constant temperature source, and calculating the deviation of the calibrated sensor relative to the standard sensor after the temperature is constant, and further calculating the modification value or the calibration value of the calibrated sensor at that temperature point.
The scanning switches in the prior art are merely provided with a single function of connection switch, the prior working principle of the entire calibration system determines that the constant temperature source must be included in the value transmission system, and as shown in
The existing technical problems in the prior art are:
1. A plurality of temperature sensors are provided in the constant temperature source, and the temperature signals output by the standard electrical measuring instrument can be easily received, the additional temperature control loops are used for controlling temperature, which causes waste of resources, thereby the purchase and use cost of the entire system is increased, moreover, it is not easy to operate the layout on site, which has a negative impact on the reliability of the entire system.
2.The nature of the temperature value transmission process is to obtain the modification value or the calibration value of the calibrated sensor at different setup temperature points, which requires that the deviation between the controlled temperature of the constant temperature source and the standard temperature measured by the standard sensor may less than a certain range, for example, the deviation of the temperature control should be less than 2° C. when the standard temperature is 800° C., which may put higher request forward the deviation of sensors in the temperature control loops and the temperature control device. However, the temperature control loops and the electrical measuring instrument are two separate parts, therefore, in order to maintain the normal operation of the whole system, it is necessary to frequently correct the error of the temperature control loops to meet the requirements of the value transmission, which adds extra workload.
In order to solve the above problems, some manufacturers have taken the corresponding transformation measures, such as removing the original temperature control loops (temperature sensor, driver, temperature controller, and etc,) and adopting the temperature data provided by the standard sensor and the standard electrical measuring instrument as the temperature signals, or adding control algorithm in the principal computer and using the principal computer to control the temperature of the constant temperature source. As the method shown in
In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the invention provides a scanning switch for calibration of a temperature metering device and a calibration system thereof, which integrates the temperature control loops of the old system into the scanning switch, removes the temperature control sensor, and simultaneously controls the temperature of the constant temperature source without interruption, and the structure of the invention is simplified, the cost is reduced, and the accuracy of the measurement data of the whole system can be effectively improved.
