Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of temperature measurement technology, and in particular to a temperature sensor and temperature measurement component that can improve the problem of material adhesion. Background Technology

[0002] Temperature sensors play a crucial role in many key areas such as industrial production and environmental monitoring. However, in some applications, temperature sensors often encounter the problem of material buildup during use. Material buildup, which refers to solid or liquid residue accumulating on or near the sensor surface, not only directly affects the measurement accuracy of the temperature sensor but can also lead to sensor failure in severe cases.

[0003] The presence of material buildup has several negative consequences. First, it directly affects the accuracy of temperature measurement, potentially causing material deterioration due to improper temperature control, thus impacting product quality. Second, material buildup can lead to raw material waste, as inaccurate temperature readings by sensors may result in overheating or overcooling. Third, material buildup can also reduce product quality, causing the final product's performance or stability to fail to meet expectations.

[0004] Furthermore, the accumulation of buildup on materials increases the difficulty and frequency of sensor maintenance, significantly raising maintenance costs. Regularly cleaning the buildup is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but if cleaning is not timely or thorough, it can also accelerate sensor aging and damage. Therefore, how to solve the problem of material buildup on temperature sensors during use has become a crucial issue urgently needing to be addressed in current industrial production and environmental monitoring fields.

Moreover, the present invention should be understood not only by the actual terms used, but also by the meaning implied by each term.

[0033] The basic principles and preferred embodiments of this utility model will be discussed in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 As shown, the temperature sensor T of this utility model mainly includes: sensor body 10, temperature probe 20 and driving device 30.

[0034] The sensor body 10 typically contains sensor electronic components and signal processing units, etc.
