Abstract
A temperature measurement apparatus includes a base; a thermistor array including a plurality of thermistors in different regions of the base; a power supply circuit configured to supply power to any one of the plurality of thermistors; and a processor connected to the plurality of thermistors and the power supply circuit, and configured to determine a target thermistor among the plurality of thermistors, to control the power supply circuit to supply the power to the target thermistor, to detect a resistance value of the target thermistor, and to calculate a temperature of a region corresponding to the target thermistor on the basis of the resistance value of the target thermistor.
Claims20
A temperature measurement apparatus comprising:
- a base;
- a thermistor array comprising a plurality of thermistors in different regions of the base;
- a power supply circuit configured to supply power to any one of the plurality of thermistors;
- and
- a processor connected to the plurality of thermistors and the power supply circuit, and configured to determine a target thermistor among the plurality of thermistors, to control the power supply circuit to supply the power to the target thermistor, to detect a resistance value of the target thermistor, and to calculate a temperature of a region corresponding to the target thermistor on the basis of the resistance value of the target thermistor.
A method of measuring a temperature comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a target thermistor among a plurality of thermistors in different regions of a base;
- controlling, by the processor, a power supply circuit that is configured to supply power to any one of the plurality of thermistors, to supply the power to the target thermistor;
- detecting, by the processor, a resistance value of the target thermistor;
- and
- calculating, by the processor, a temperature of a region corresponding to the target thermistor on the basis of the resistance value of the target thermistor.
A battery apparatus comprising:
- a battery management system;
- and
- a temperature measurement apparatus coupled to a battery cell or battery pack, and is configured to detect a temperature of at least a portion of an area in which the temperature measurement apparatus is coupled thereto according to a request from the battery management system to generate temperature information, and to transmit the generated temperature information to the battery management system.
