Abstract: A mechanical probe apparatus for taking measurements with a sensor cartridge inside a metallurgical furnace. The apparatus has a housing, and a mounting member to receive the sensor cartridge, the mounting member being movable from being withdrawn in the housing to extending outside of the housing. The housing, itself, is movable from being exterior of the furnace to a position wherein a portion of the housing extends into the furnace through a portal. The sensor cartridge can be mounted to the mounting member when the housing is exterior of the furnace and the mounting member extends outside of the housing. The sensor cartridge can then be withdrawn into the housing on the mounting member and the housing can subsequently be moved into the furnace. Thereafter the sensor can be extended outside of the housing to take measurements when the housing is within the furnace. The apparatus also includes an ejector for releasing the sensor from the mounting member when the housing is within the furnace, after the measurements have been taken.

Abstract translation: 用于在冶金炉内用传感器盒进行测量的机械探针装置。 该装置具有壳体和用于接纳传感器盒的安装构件，该安装构件可从外壳中移出而延伸到壳体的外部。 壳体本身可以从炉的外部移动到其中壳体的一部分通过入口延伸到炉中的位置。 当壳体在炉外部时，传感器盒可以安装到安装构件，并且安装构件延伸到壳体的外部。 然后可以将传感器盒抽回到安装构件上的壳体中，并且壳体随后可以移动到炉中。 此后，当壳体在炉内时，传感器可以延伸到外壳外部进行测量。 该装置还包括一个喷射器，用于在进行测量之后，当壳体在炉内时，将传感器从安装构件上释放出来。
