Abstract

Provided is a temperature measuring device which includes: a flexible printed circuit board with wiring; a thermistor element; a heat collecting plate; and a pressing member. The flexible printed circuit board is configured to be attached to a case that is fixed to an object to be measured, the thermistor element is electrically connected to the wiring, the heat collecting plate is disposed on a side opposite to the thermistor element via the flexible printed circuit board so as to be pressed against a temperature measuring point in the object to be measured, and the pressing member is made of a foam material and is configured to be compressed when the case is fixed to the object to be measured and to press the heat collecting plate against the object to be measured.

Claims (29)

1. A temperature measuring device comprising:

a flexible printed circuit board with wiring;

a thermistor element;

a heat collecting plate;

a pressing member;

a reinforcing plate; and

a lid, wherein

the flexible printed circuit board is configured to be attached to a case that is fixed to an object to be measured,

the thermistor element is electrically connected to the wiring,

the heat collecting plate is disposed on a side opposite to the thermistor element via the flexible printed circuit board so as to be pressed against a temperature measuring point in the object to be measured,

the pressing member is made of a foam material and is configured to be compressed when the case is fixed to the object to be measured and to press the heat collecting plate against the object to be measured,

the reinforcing plate has a cavity in which the thermistor element is disposed, and is fixed to the flexible printed circuit board,

the lid covers the cavity and an entire top surface of the reinforcing plate, and

the pressing member is configured to be fixed to each of the case and the lid.

2. The temperature measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible printed circuit board has the wiring connected to the thermistor element and a wiring for measuring a voltage of the object to be measured.

3. The temperature measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing member is configured to have a cavity in which the thermistor element is disposed, and to be fixed to each of the case and the flexible printed circuit board.

4. The temperature measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing member is waterproof.

5. A temperature measuring device comprising:

a flexible printed circuit board with wiring;

a thermistor element;

a heat collecting plate; and

a pressing member, wherein

the flexible printed circuit board is configured to be attached to a case that is fixed to an object to be measured,

the thermistor element is electrically connected to the wiring,

the heat collecting plate is disposed on a side opposite to the thermistor element via the flexible printed circuit board so as to be pressed against a temperature measuring point in the object to be measured,

the pressing member is made of a foam material and is configured to be compressed when the case is fixed to the object to be measured and to press the heat collecting plate against the object to be measured, and

the pressing member is directly disposed on the heat collecting plate without being in contact with the flexible printed circuit board.

6. The temperature measuring device according to claim 5 , wherein the flexible printed circuit board has the wiring connected to the thermistor element and a wiring for measuring a voltage of the object to be measured.

7. The temperature measuring device according to claim 5 , wherein the pressing member is waterproof.
