    Abstract: There are provided a temperature sensor that has following capability to a temperature measurement object and has excellent responsiveness, and a temperature detection device and an image forming apparatus each including the temperature sensor. A temperature sensor used in contact with a temperature measurement object, includes: a thermosensitive element configured to detect a temperature of the temperature measurement object; a heat collection member including an abutting portion configured to abut on the temperature measurement object, and configured to be thermally joined with the thermosensitive element; and a holding member including a housing portion configured to house the heat collection member. The heat collection member is swingably held by the holding member, to maintain a state where the abutting portion abuts on the temperature measurement object.

    Abstract: A temperature sensor that sufficiently has heat insulation property and the pressing force to a temperature measurement object to a degree allowing a ceramic paper to be substituted, and that has a good responsiveness, and a temperature detection device and an image formation device that include the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is disposed so as to maintain an abutting state with a temperature measurement object, the temperature sensor including: a thermosensitive element configured to detect the temperature of the temperature measurement object; a heat collection member configured to pressurize the temperature measurement object and to be thermally coupled with the thermosensitive element; and a holding member supporting the heat collection member and forming a space that faces the heat collection member.
