发明名称 Calibration apparatus
摘要 A calibration apparatus for temperature probes comprising an elongate calibration chamber (1) with an opening (2) for receiving an insert (3) that has passages (4) for receiving temperature probes (6), and wherein the chamber (1) has several heat energy elements (-11) that are controlled by temperature probes (12-14). In the insert as such one or more external probes (7) are provided, each of which has one or more temperature sensors to the effect that at least two sensors (19, 20 or 15, 17) are provided at respective dissimilar distances to an end of the insert (3). The latter sensors are connected to electronic regulation (20, 23) and measurement units (21, 24) for regulating the supply of power to the heat energy elements.

主权项 1. A calibration apparatus for calibrating temperature probes comprising a calibration block elongated in a longitudinal direction and having an opening at one end for receiving an insert elongated in the longitudinal direction with a close fit and closed at an opposite end, the insert having holes that extend in the longitudinal direction of the insert, said holes having openings only in a top surface of the insert adjacent said one end of the calibration block and being closed at an opposite end in the insert for receiving at least one temperature probe to be calibrated and for receiving at least one external temperature probe for controlling the distribution of heat in the block, said at least one external temperature probe extending through said opening in said top surface of the insert and downwardly into said closed hole, the block having several heat energy elements and external temperature probes that are connected to electric control circuits that regulate the supply of power to the heat energy elements, the calibration block being capable of receiving different inserts that are provided with a larger or smaller number of holes of varying size for receiving several sizes of temperature probes and optionally several temperature probes at a time, wherein at least two external temperature sensors are provided in at least two external temperature probes situated in holes in the calibration block, the sensors of the external temperature probes in the calibration block, as seen in the longitudinal direction, being situated at dissimilar distances from the openings of the holes of the insert and wherein at least two external temperature sensors are provided in one or more external temperature probes situated in the holes in the insert, the at least two sensors, as seen in the longitudinal direction, being situated at dissimilar distances from the openings of the holes of the insert, wherein at least two external temperature sensors in the insert and/or block are located in at least one external temperature probe, the at least two external sensors being located at a distance from each other in the longitudinal direction of the external temperature probe, and wherein a first regulator unit of the electric control circuits controls the basic energy supply to the calibration block by means of a first heat energy element extending in the longitudinal direction of the calibration block in response to a signal from one external temperature sensor provided in the calibration block, said one external sensor being in addition to said at least two external temperature sensors in the calibration block being situated at dissimilar distances from the openings of the holes of the insert, and wherein a second regulator unit of the electric control circuits controls a second heat energy element located in the calibration block at the one end of the calibration block where the opening for receiving the insert is located in response to signals from said at least two external temperature sensors in the calibration block and said at least two external temperature sensors in the insert.
