Abstract: A temperature monitoring system consists of a multielement thermopile, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), first and second microcontrollers (MCUs), a first stepping motor, a second stepping motor, a plurality of microswitches and a monitoring apparatus. The multielement thermopile is connected to the ADC linked with the first MCU, and the first MCU is further connected to the first stepping motor with microswitches for vertical motion control, and the second stepping motor with microswitches for horizontal motion control. At the same time the first MCU can be connected to the second MCU and the second MCU is linked with the monitoring apparatus. A hot spot occurring in electrical heating equipment or a smoldering source hidden in upholstery can be identified and proper measures can be performed, in case of extremely high temperature, so as further to prevent a fire.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a temperature monitoring system for the entire region of environment, which essentially consists of a multielement thermopile, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), first and second microcontrollers (MCUs), a first stepping motor for vertical motion control, a second stepping motor for horizontal motion control, a plurality of microswitches and a monitoring apparatus. The multielement thermopile is connected to the ADC linked with the first MCU, and then the first MCU is further connected to the first stepping motor with microswitches for vertical motion control, the second stepping motor with microswitches for horizontal motion control. At the same time the first MCU can be connected to the second MCU via a RS-232 interface and the second MCU is linked with the monitoring apparatus.
