Abstract
A temperature sensor for measuring a temperature of a moving or stationary surface includes a main body portion and a probe head with thermocouple element, the probe head coupled to the main body portion such that the probe head reciprocates relative to the main body portion in a pulsed manner.
Claims13
A temperature sensor, comprising:
- a main body portion;
- a probe head, the probe head comprising a thermocouple element for measuring a temperature of a surface when contacted by the probe head, a conformable sheet material adapted to contact the surface and an elastomeric material, wherein the thermocouple element is positioned between the conformable sheet material and the elastomeric material, and a sheet of heat conducting material located between the thermocouple and the elastomeric material;
- and
- means for generating pulsed reciprocal movement of the probe head relative to the main body portion.
