Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a contactless switch and eliminate the influence by a magnetism mutual intervention by connecting both ends of a superconductor showing full conductive phenomena at random temperature with two electric wires, and insulatingly housing the superconductor in a temperature sensing tube. CONSTITUTION:Both ends of a superconductor 2 showing full conductive phenomena at random temperature are connected with two electric wires 3, and the superconductor is insulatingly housed in a temperature sensing tube 4. The superconductor 2 has a given resistance RXOMEGA at higher temperatures than the random temperature, and the resistance becomes 0OMEGA at lower temperatures than the random temperature by full conductive phenomena. Consequently, when the IA current flows in the superconductor 2, the I.RXV potential difference is produced on the both ends of the superconductor when a temperature is higher than the random temperature, the potential difference becomes 0V at a temperature below the random temperature, and a switch is activated by the variation of the potential difference.

Conventional technology A conventional temperature switch is a combination of a temperature-sensitive ferrite, a magnet, and a reed switch.The reed switch is turned on or off by utilizing the phenomenon in which the temperature-sensitive ferrite loses magnetic flux when it reaches a certain temperature (Nippon Hamlin Co., Ltd.). company issued reed switch knowledge). Its configuration is shown in FIG. A
is a temperature-sensitive ferrite, B is a magnet, and C is a reed switch, and there are 2 benos. In the same figure a, below an arbitrary temperature, temperature-sensitive ferrite A and magnet B create a closed magnetic path, and reed switch C
Since nothing is acting on , the contact is "open". In the figure, when the temperature exceeds a certain temperature, the temperature-sensitive ferrite A loses its magnetism, and the magnetic flux of the magnet B acts on the reed switch C, causing the contact to close.
