Abstract
A temperature detecting device () includes: a detecting unit () which detects a temperature of a heat source (); a power generation unit () which includes a thermoelectric conversion element () and is spaced from the detecting unit (); a first heat transfer unit () that transfers heat or cold of the heat source () to the power generation unit (); a radiator () which is remote from the power generation unit () so as to radiate heat or cold to outside; a second heat transfer unit () that receives heat or cold from the power generation unit () and that transfers the heat or cold to the radiating unit (); and an output unit () that outputs a result of the measurement made by the temperature receiving element (). The thermoelectric conversion element () generates electric power by way of a temperature difference between a surface () and a surface () and supplies electric power to the temperature receiving element () and the output unit ().
