Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems wherein, even though a temperature sensor sold on the market is usually fixed on a measuring object by a tape, a putty, a binding body or the like in temperature measurement, mounting on a spot having a narrow space is sometimes impossible, and since fixing or dismantling is difficult, mounting failure or the like occurs, and thereby fail to make accurate measurement. <P>SOLUTION: The temperature sensor is integrated with a fixing clip and enables simple and accurate mounting on/dismounting from a narrow space on the measuring object. Hereby, the measuring object can be measured accurately. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a temperature sensor with a built-in temperature sensor that can be easily and stably operated as a means for attaching a temperature sensor to a measurement object in measuring a solid surface temperature and a gas atmosphere temperature. .

Conventional temperature sensors are provided in the form of sticks or plates, and the method of attaching or fixing them is tape, putty or tying band on the object to be measured. In some cases, wearing was impossible.
If the temperature sensor is not protected by a thermal insulation sheet or putty, it will be affected by the outside air temperature and precise temperature measurement will not be possible. Therefore, during measurement, a temperature sensor is attached and fixed to the object to be measured by a method such as tape, putty or cable ties (hereinafter tape), and the tape is removed to return to the original shape after measurement. It took time and effort to remove the sensor. In addition, the object to be measured may be damaged.

If the temperature sensor and the mounting bracket, tape, etc. are integrated, it can be easily and reliably installed. As a means of the above, if the temperature sensor and the clip are integrated, as shown in FIG. If the object to be measured for temperature measurement is sandwiched, the sensor can be brought into close contact with a certain contact force of the spring of the clip, thereby avoiding a mounting failure.

  If an insulator with a heat insulation effect is incorporated between the sensor and the clip, it can be externally attached to the sensor even if it is not protected by a heat insulation sheet or putty on the temperature sensor as in the prior art. Less affected by temperature and more accurate measurement.

  The clip temperature sensor of the invention can measure the temperature of the sandwiched portion by simply sandwiching the clip with the object whose temperature is to be measured, and can easily and reliably measure the temperature. Also, in a space with a small gap, it was impossible to measure because there was no means to fix it in the past, but if a small space to fix the clip can be secured, it can be measured. It can be removed without leaving traces.

In addition to making it easy to attach and detach, as shown in Fig. 3, if the measured object is conductive, the measuring instrument is attached to the sensor by separating the anode and cathode of the sensor unit. It became possible to know.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, in a clip temperature sensor in which a temperature sensor is integrated on the outer surface of the clip, the ambient temperature can be easily measured if the clip is sandwiched between measurement points.

  A clip temperature sensor that can be mounted and removed in a narrow space easily and accurately by integrating the temperature sensor and mounting clip.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 8 denotes an object to be measured, which can be measured only by attaching the clip temperature sensor of the present invention and bringing the temperature sensor 1 into close contact with the object. In this case, if the insulation material fixed inside the sensor is a non-conductor and the object to be measured is a conductor, a current flows between the sensors, and the clip temperature sensor is attached to the object to be measured. Can be read electrically, and can also be used as a signal for completion of measurement preparation.

  In the present invention, the object to be measured can be solid, gas, or liquid, and various temperature measurements can be performed simply by attaching and fixing a temperature sensor corresponding to the temperature range to the clip, and the clip for fixing to the object to be measured. You can do it just by securing a space to stop.
