  • Patent number: 7896544
    Abstract: To provide a heat detector in which thermal responsiveness of a heat detecting unit such as a ceramic element is improved. A heat detector 1 includes a ceramic element 10 accommodated in a sensing-device main body, and measures a temperature in a monitoring area based on a dielectric constant of the ceramic element 10. The Curie point temperature of the ceramic element 10 is set in a predetermined sensitive temperature range.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7802918
    Abstract: An object is to build a protective structure which can protect a ferroelectric material from a surrounding environment when the ferroelectric material is used as a heat detecting element of a heat detector, thereby enhancing the reliability of the heat detector. A heat detector includes a heat detecting unit 11 that senses heat in a monitoring area, and a casing 81 that holds the heat detecting unit 11, and the heat detecting unit is held by the casing 11 via a laminating portion 60 which serves to protect the heat detecting unit 11.

  • Patent number: 5584579
    Abstract: A thermal detector in which an element unit has a heat sensor element such as a, thermistor, sealed into the terminal end portion thereof, for electrically detecting temperature change. A detector body integrates by plastic-forming a pair of fitting members for electrically and mechanically coupling to a detector base. A circuit board is mounted on a circuit accommodation portion inside the detector body. A back side cove is provided for closing and sealing the circuit accommodation portion from the reverse side thereof. Airtightness of the circuit accommodation portion is thereby secured and it is simplified to make possible automatization. Positioning projections and respective positioning grooves are provided. By respectively fitting these, positioning is achieved of the circuit board to a molded body, the back side cover to the reverse side of the molded body and the outer cover to the lower side of the molded body.

  • Patent number: 5425582
    Abstract: A thermal detector comprises: an element unit 11 having a heat sensor element 1 such as a thermistor sealed into the terminal end portion thereof, for electrically detecting temperature change; a detector body integrating by means of plastic-forming a pair of fitting members 12 for electrically and mechanically coupling to a detector base; a circuit board 16 mounted on a circuit accommodation portion 15 inside the detector body; and a back side cover 17 for closing and sealing the circuit accommodation portion 15 from the reverse side thereof. Thereby, airtightness of the circuit accommodation portion is secured and it is simplified to make possible automatization thereof. Also, positioning projections 110, 112, 114 and positioning grooves 111, 113, 115 are provided. By respectively fitting these, positioning of the circuit board 16 to a molded body 14, the back side cover 17 to the reverse side of the molded body 14 and the outer cover 13 to the lower side of the molded body 14 is effected.
