Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A temperature-detecting device includes a thermally conductive sheet, a heat-generating body thermally connected to a first end portion of the thermally conductive sheet, and a temperature-detecting element thermally connected to a second end portion of the thermally conductive sheet. This temperature-detecting device is also provided with thermally insulating layers on the top and bottom faces of the thermally conductive sheet between the first and second end portions thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A temperature-detecting device comprising: a thermally conductive sheet having a first face and a second face; a heat-generating body thermally connected to a first end portion of the thermally conductive sheet; a temperature-detecting element thermally connected to a second end portion of the thermally conductive sheet; a first thermally insulating layer provided on the first face of the thermally conductive sheet between the first end portion and the second end portion; a second thermally insulating layer provided on the second face of the thermally conductive sheet between the first end portion and the second end portion; and an infrared reflecting layer provided on a surface of the first thermally insulating layer. 2. The temperature-detecting device of claim 1 , wherein the thermally conductive sheet is formed of a graphite sheet. 3. The temperature-detecting device of claim 1 , wherein each of a heat conductivity of the first thermally insulating layer and a heat conductivity of the second thermally insulating layer is less than or equal to 0.2 W/m·K. 4. The temperature-detecting device of claim 3 , wherein each of the first thermally insulating layer and the second thermally insulating layer is formed of a sheet of non-woven fabric impregnated with silica.
