Description

Temperature detector and temperature detection system
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a temperature detector and a temperature detection system, and more particularly, to a temperature detector adapted to detect a temperature of an object heated in a heating apparatus and a temperature detection system including the same.
Background
When an object is baked (generally, meat), in order to make the object taste better, a temperature detector is usually inserted into the object, so as to directly sense the temperature inside the object and transmit the temperature value to the temperature intelligent control device of the oven, thereby adjusting the power of the oven, so as to adjust the baking temperature of the oven, and make the object achieve the expected baking effect. Since the temperature in the oven is usually very high, typically up to 300 degrees celsius, typical electronic components are temperature sensitive devices and can only operate at 85 degrees celsius or below 125 degrees celsius.
In the prior art, in order to avoid that the electronic components on the circuit board of the temperature detector are affected by the high temperature in the oven, the circuit board is usually arranged in the plug part of the temperature detector, and can be inserted into the object together with the plug part. However, this increases the size of the plug part of the temperature probe, so that the plug part of the temperature probe is not easily inserted into the food, and seriously affects the grilling effect of the food because the large size of the plug part generates a large insertion hole when inserted into the food.
In addition, in the prior art, the temperature detector is generally connected to a temperature intelligent control device located outside the oven through a cable so as to transmit temperature information detected by the temperature detector to the temperature intelligent control device. Meanwhile, the temperature probe is also connected to a power source located outside the oven through a cable so as to supply power to the temperature probe. The use of a cable connection can present problems, for example, the cable itself can affect the accuracy of the temperature readings of the temperature probe. In addition, the cables are susceptible to contamination, which can present a safety hazard to the objects.
