Abstract
A temperature detecting device (101) includes: a detecting unit (11) which detects a temperature of a heat source (1); a power generation unit (12) which includes a thermoelectric conversion element (3) and is spaced from the detecting unit (11); a first heat transfer unit (41) that transfers heat or cold of the heat source (1) to the power generation unit (12); a radiator (13) which is remote from the power generation unit (12) so as to radiate heat or cold to outside; a second heat transfer unit (42) that receives heat or cold from the power generation unit (12) and that transfers the heat or cold to the radiating unit (13); and an output unit (14) that outputs a result of the measurement made by the temperature receiving element (2). The thermoelectric conversion element (3) generates electric power by way of a temperature difference between a surface (3a) and a surface (3b) and supplies electric power to the temperature receiving element (2) and the output unit (14).
