TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates generally to temperature measurement devices, and in particular to a temperature measurement assembly, temperature measurement device and electrical device assembly.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Due to the existence of resistors, electronic devices present a heat-generating phenomenon during work. Excessively high temperatures caused by the heat generation of the electronic devices not only affect the service lives of the electronic devices, but also endanger other components in connection and cooperation therewith. Especially when larger current passes through the electronic devices, the resulted excessively high temperatures may often cause the electronic devices and related equipment to abnormally work. Therefore, in application occasions where the electronic devices have higher requirements for temperature ranges and safety performance in the prior art, the temperatures of the electronic devices often need to be monitored. Correspondingly, temperature measurement devices are required to monitor the electronic devices in real time. In particular, with the promotion of electric vehicles, how to maintain the stable performance of battery packs serving as power sources of the electric vehicles appear to be extremely critical. The battery packs of the electric vehicles output extremely large current, and generate higher temperatures, which requires temperature measurement on related electronic devices in the battery packs.

The temperature measurement assembly includes a heat conductive pad and a temperature measurement element. The heat conductive pad is in heat conductive connection with an object to be measured. The temperature measurement element is configured to be contacted with the heat conductive pad and spaced apart from the object to be measured, and the temperature measurement element is used for detecting the temperature of the object to be measured.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0059] The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. Embodiment 1 :
[0060] With reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the present invention provides a temperature measurement assembly 101. The temperature measurement assembly 101 includes a heat conductive pad 10 and a temperature measurement element 20. The temperature measurement element 20 is configured to be contacted with the heat conductive pad 10. The heat conductive pad 10 is configured to be in heat conductive connection with an object 88 to be measured described below. It is conceivable that the heat conductive pad 10 can be made of any heat conductive material. To comprehensively consider good elastic deformability, insulation performance and heat conductivity, in the present embodiment, the heat conductive pad 10 is a silicone one-piece. Of course, some specifically required heat conductive materials, such as ceramic powder, can be doped into the silicone one-piece.
[0061] With reference to Fig. 3 together, it is a structural schematic diagram of the heat conductive pad 10 without any deformation, namely in a shape of a flat plate. In the present embodiment, the hardness of the silicone of the heat conductive pad 10 satisfies the requirements of plastic deformation. The term of "plastic deformation" refers to changes in the relative positions between points due to an external force applied to a solid, despite the removal of the external force with the shape of the solid retaining more or less deformation yet irrecoverable completely, which is the synonym for "plasticity deformation". Elastic deformation is opposite to the plastic deformation. Specifically, upon being completely assembled, the heat conductive pad 10 undergoes plastic deformation under the squeeze of the temperature measurement element 20 to form a recess 18. At this time, the recess 18 wraps the bottom and the periphery of the temperature measurement element 20. To achieve better-insulated conduction performance and save the mounting space, in the present embodiment, upon being completely assembled, the heat conductive pad 10 is accommodated in the recess 18, and an upper surface of the heat conductive pad 10 and the upper surface of the temperature measurement element 20 are coplanar.
[0062] Continuously with reference to Figs.l and 2, the temperature measurement element 20 is used for measuring the temperature of the object 88 to be measured. It is conceivable to measure temperature by measuring the changes of the physical properties because the physical properties of the temperature measurement element 20 will correspondingly change according to the temperature change. The temperature measurement element 20 can convert the temperature change into an electrical signal, wherein the temperature measurement element 20 may be a thermistor. To further facilitate the mounting, the temperature measurement element 20 may be a chip resistor. In the present embodiment, to improve the precision of the temperature measurement, the temperature measurement element 20 is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor.
[0063] The temperature measurement element 20 is in contact with the heat conductive pad 10. In order to further shorten the heat conductive distance, the temperature measurement element 20 and the object 88 to be measured are respectively located on both sides of the heat conductive pad 10. In the present embodiment, the temperature measurement element 20 is accommodated in an accommodating cavity 11 of the heat conductive pad 10. The temperature measurement element 20 is approximately rectangular solid. The temperature measurement element 20 is respectively in contact with an inner side wall and a bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11 to improve the heat conductive efficiency and precision. To achieve a better contact effect, the upper surface of the temperature measurement element 20 and the upper surface of the heat conductive pad 10 are coplanar.

The mating connecting shell 66 is used for transmitting a temperature change signal transmitted by the terminal connector 30 to a corresponding display device. To realize the stable connection, in the present embodiment, a plug-in cavity 661 is disposed in the mating connecting shell 66. The mating connecting terminal is accommodated in the plug-in cavity 661. The mating connecting terminal is electrically connected with one end 351 of the connection terminal 35.
