Spatial temperature sensor

Abstract

This device is mounted on the ceiling and measures the temperature of the floor surface using infrared radiation, while also measuring the temperature of the ceiling surface using a sensor-integrated thermistor, thereby calculating the air temperature of the living space. The device consists of a main body housing the sensor and an arm made of spring metal, which is inserted into the inside of the ceiling panel through a through-hole provided in the ceiling panel. The ceiling panel is then sandwiched between the lid, which protrudes from the outside of the ceiling panel, and the arm, which is inserted inside the ceiling panel (see perspective view).
