This invention provides a plug-type temperature sensor, including a plug body with an internal
assembly cavity; a
metal part assembled within the
assembly cavity, comprising an
abutment ring and a threaded sleeve, used for abutting and fixing the cable joint, respectively; a
metal cover and the
metal part forming a
capacitor to power the sensor; a circuit board positioned between the metal cover and the metal part; a first temperature sensor electrically connected to the circuit board, with its first temperature measuring head abutting the
abutment ring; and a second temperature sensor electrically connected to the circuit board, with its second temperature measuring head abutting the threaded sleeve. This invention, by setting
two temperature sensors at different locations on the metal part, can detect the temperature at different positions of the cable joint. The detection data are cross-referenced and verified, effectively improving detection accuracy and overcoming the problem of single-point detection error. It can more accurately reflect the actual temperature at the
electrical connection point of the T-type cable joint, providing reliable
temperature monitoring data for the
safe operation of the
power grid. Furthermore, the optimized structure achieves multiple functions within a limited space.
