Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à un thermomètre de mesure de rayonnement, qui détecte les rayons infrarouges émis par un objet avec une thermopile, pour réaliser une mesure sans contact de la température de l'objet. Ce thermomètre permet des mesures de température précises, il possède un nombre réduit de composants, il est produit à faible coût et il se caractérise par une excellent durabilité. Ce thermomètre comprend des éléments chauffants à coefficient de température positif autolimité (11, 12, 13, 14) destiné à maintenir à des températures prédéterminées certaines parties requises, telles qu'une thermopile (5), un guide d'ondes (4) et une carte à circuit imprimé (6). Lorsque les courants sont amenés à traverser les éléments chauffants, leurs résistances augmentent brusquement jusqu'à atteindre certaines températures. Les flux de courant sont alors limités et les éléments chauffants sont maintenus à des températures prédéterminées. Ainsi, les parties requises, telles que la thermopile (5), peuvent être maintenues à des températures prédéterminées, par exemple 32 °C.
