The invention discloses an intelligent electric energy meter connector temperature detection device and a detection method. The detection device comprises a temperature measurement component which is provided with temperature acquisition units. The temperature acquisition units are connected with a principal computer through a temperature control unit. The principal computer is further connected with a current booster. The temperature measurement component includes an electric energy meter shell. Multiple vertical metal meter tail holes are installed side by side on the outer side of the electric energy meter shell, and the metal meter tail holes are spaced apart. A standard hole matched with a tested connector is arranged at the bottom of each metal meter tail hole. The opening of each standard hole is exposed at the bottom of the electric energy meter shell. A temperature acquisition unit mounting hole is arranged on the top of each metal meter tail hole. Temperature sensor heads are embedded into the metal meter tail holes. The temperature sensor heads can fully contact electric energy meter connectors during temperature measurement. The connectors are replaced directly for next measurement. Test is more accurate and fast.
