1. A thermocouple temperature detecting assembly comprising:
- a thermocouple temperature detector for generating a detection voltage due to the thermoelectric effect of a thermocouple;
a first lead wire, securely connected to said thermocouple and adapted to match the thermoelectric effect of said thermocouple for transmitting said detection voltage;
a reference voltage generator, securely connected to said first lead wire, for generating a reference voltage which is varied in accordance with the ambient temperature thereof compensating the thermoelectric effect of said thermocouple;
an amplifier, securely connected to said first lead wire and packaged with said reference voltage generator, for amplifying said detection voltage transmitted through said first lead wire;
a second lead wire, securely connected to said amplifier, for transmitting the amplified voltage;
a detachable connector, connected to said second lead wire, for receiving said amplified voltage; and
a comparator, connected between said amplifier and said second lead wire and packaged with said reference voltage generator, for comparing said amplified voltage with said reference voltage;
whereby said amplifed voltage is reshaped into an on-off signal which is transmitted to said detachable connector through said second lead wire.

Abstract
A thermocouple temperature detecting assembly having a temperature detector provided with a thermocouple as a temperature detecting element is disclosed. In a lead wire which is connected to the temperature detector there is provided in the vicinity of the temperature detector a circuit such as a switching circuit for processing an electric signal in accordance with the ambient temperature. The temperature detector and the signal processing circuit are unseparably connected to each other and a compensating lead wire for compensating for the ambient temperature is used only for a short distance between the temperature detector and the signal processing circuit.
