本発明は、LCカツト水晶振動子を使用した温

Echo phenomenon of a crystal oscillator (When a crystal oscillator is operated at its resonant frequency and then the excitation is stopped, the crystal oscillator continues to resonate while attenuating for a while after the excitation stops, and transmits a vibration signal at the resonant frequency to the outside. Temperature sensors using the phenomenon of emission) are known.

が計測できる。 In other words, the temperature measuring device using the crystal resonator has a temperature sensor (hereinafter referred to as a crystal temperature sensor) using the crystal resonator on the object or location to be measured.
When an excitation signal (radio wave) whose frequency changes is sent to the crystal temperature sensor from an external device, a large level echo signal (after the excitation stops) is generated when the excitation signal with a frequency that matches the resonant frequency of the crystal temperature sensor is sent. This method takes advantage of the fact that the signal emitted from a crystal oscillator can be detected.
Since the resonant frequency of some types of crystal oscillators changes depending on the temperature, the temperature of the object or location to be measured can be measured.
ところで、上記温度計測装置に使用される水晶
温度センサとして、従来、LCカツトの水晶振動
子を3次共振モードで使用するものが直線性の良
好なものとして知られている。 By the way, as a crystal temperature sensor used in the above-mentioned temperature measuring device, one using an LC cut crystal resonator in a third-order resonance mode is conventionally known as one having good linearity.

で、周波数軸の1目盛は25KHzで示してある。 Figure 2 shows the frequency spectrum when the LC cut crystal resonator is excited in the third-order resonance mode.
This figure 2 shows the frequency spectrum at 20°C, and each division on the frequency axis is 25KHz.

切換えが必要となる。 In Figure 2, the frequency at point A where the maximum level is obtained is 28.235MHz, which is approximately 25KHz higher than this frequency.
There is a maximum level point B near 28.26MHz.
Therefore, when this crystal temperature sensor is excited while changing the frequency, an echo signal as temperature measurement data is detected at point A, and also at point B, although the level is lower than point A. (The significance of the echo signal as temperature measurement data is determined at the maximum point of the resonance frequency.) Therefore, if the frequency of the excitation signal is swept in a range that includes both points A and B, there is a risk that the echo signal at point B will be mistakenly detected as temperature measurement data. The frequency sweep width of the excitation signal in one range must be between point A and point B, that is, about 25 KHz. The temperature sensitivity of the LC cut crystal resonator used in the third-order resonance mode is approximately 1 KHz/°C with the frequency spectrum shown in Figure 2, so the temperature measurement width in one range is 25°C. (20℃ in the above example)
If a measurement range is set that has the lowest temperature, the measurement temperature range of the measurement range is 20°C to 45°C. ), its width is very narrow, and a temperature measuring device using such a crystal temperature sensor requires many range changes.

した場合の1つのレンジでの周波数掃引幅は約
100KHzとすることができる。 The inventor found that the frequency width between local maximum values is about 100 KHz from the frequency spectrum of the primary resonance mode of the LC cut crystal resonator. That is,
In Figure 1, the frequency of point A, which is the maximum level point, is 9.432 MHz (approximately one-third of the frequency of point A in Figure 2), and the adjacent maximum point B The frequency of the point is approximately 9.54 MHz, and the frequency width between these points is approximately 100 KHz. Therefore, as is clear from the explanation of the conventional example above, when a third-order resonance mode LC cut crystal resonator is used as a crystal temperature sensor, the frequency sweep width in one range is approximately
Can be 100KHz.

(1/1 change), so in one range it is approx.
A temperature measurement width of 300℃ is obtained.

As explained above in detail, the present invention is a crystal temperature sensor in which an LC cut crystal resonator is driven in the primary resonance mode, and the frequency sweep width in one range is wider than that of the conventional one. Furthermore, when converting the frequency sweep width into temperature, it becomes 1
The present invention has extremely significant effects, such as the frequency change width per °C being reduced to one-third, the measurable temperature range in one range is extremely wide, and there is virtually no need to switch ranges in normal temperature measurement. It is something that plays.
