Description

Infrared thermometer sensor structure TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to temperature measuring instrument technical field especially, relates to an infrared thermometer sensor structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] The infrared temperature measurement of infrared thermometer adopts thermoelectric pile infrared sensor temperature measurement, and the core part is thermoelectric pile and thermistor, wherein the infrared thermal sensitive material of thermoelectric pile absorbs the infrared ray of target object and generates heat to make itself temperature rise, and the thermocouple generates voltage by the temperature difference of two ends, and a large number of thermocouple voltages are connected in series to generate voltage output, the voltage signal is input MCU after being amplified and AD digital-analog conversion, and the temperature difference AT of target object temperature and ambient temperature is obtained by calculation or table lookup; The temperature of the temperature measurement sensor package, that is, the temperature of the cold contact point, is determined by the ambient temperature Tamb of the temperature-resistance table through the method of MCU collecting the resistance value of thermistor. The target temperature (the temperature of target object) is the weighted sum of AT and Tamb.

[0003] The thermoelectric pile sensor is the core component of infrared thermometer, and its function is to perceive the infrared radiation emitted by the object and convert it into an electrical signal. The existence of ambient temperature inevitably affects the sensor temperature, which in turn leads to temperature measurement error. When the ambient temperature rises, the sensor temperature rises, resulting in high temperature measurement value; on the contrary, when the ambient temperature decreases, the sensor temperature decreases, resulting in low temperature measurement value. Therefore, there is a close relationship between the ambient temperature and the sensor temperature, and the environmental influence needs to be reduced by temperature compensation means. The infrared radiation of the object surface not only contains the radiation energy of the object itself, but also is affected by the ambient temperature. The existence of ambient temperature interferes with the infrared radiation of the object surface, which in turn affects the accuracy of temperature measurement. The effective temperature of the object surface measured by the thermal radiation infrared thermometer is affected by the ambient temperature.

[0004] The current infrared thermometer on the market lacks a clear technical solution in reducing the influence of ambient temperature. If the influence of ambient temperature still exists, the use of infrared thermometer will be more limited, such as needing to be placed for at least half an hour under similar ambient temperature before use. Otherwise, the temperature measurement result may have a large difference, and even may cause the risk of delayed treatment. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 (FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a conventional temperature measurement instrument, and FIG. 2 is a partial structural schematic diagram of FIG. 1), in the current infrared temperature measurement instrument design, a copper sleeve 5' is sleeved on the thermoelectric pile sensor 1' to achieve rapid transmission of ambient temperature, so that the thermoelectric pile sensor 1' can quickly perceive the ambient temperature. However, the use of the copper sleeve 5' results in that once the thermoelectric pile sensor 1' and the copper sleeve 5' have structural or surface interference, causing uneven or not close contact, there will be a large error in the temperature conducted by the copper sleeve 5' to the thermoelectric pile sensor 1', which will affect the measured temperature, and because of the structural interference between the copper sleeve 5' and the thermoelectric pile sensor 1', the sensor may be damaged due to manufacturing problems during assembly.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to find a new design of infrared temperature measurement instrument that can resist the interference of ambient temperature.
