For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or (module) elements is not limited to only those steps or elements but may alternatively include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
Reference herein to "a plurality" means two or more. "and/or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, meaning that there may be three relationships, e.g., a and/or B, which may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character "/" generally indicates that the former and latter associated objects are in an "or" relationship.
According to the second law of thermodynamics it is not possible to transfer heat from a low temperature object to a high temperature object without causing other changes. Heat may be transferred spontaneously from a hotter object to a cooler object, but may not be transferred spontaneously from a cooler object to a hotter object.
Referring to fig. 1, a thermometer is shown with a temperature sensor 103 for measuring the temperature of the skin 102 of a person and a thermal insulating layer 104 for preventing heat loss from the person to the external environment. When the thermal insulation layer 104 completely blocks the surface of the skin of the human body from radiating heat under ideal conditions, the heat can be transferred from the inside of the human body to the skin because the temperature of the core 101 of the human body is higher than the temperature of the skin. Likewise, heat from the skin 102 is also transferred to the temperature sensor 103 placed on the skin. When the heat is balanced, the core temperature equals the skin temperature to the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 103.

A preferred embodiment is described in detail below.
A body temperature measuring device is improved on the basis of zero heat flow temperature measurement. All circuits and components are packaged together, suitable for wearable applications. Referring to fig. 4, the body temperature measuring device includes a temperature sensor T1, a temperature sensor T2, and a temperature sensor T3, and further includes a film heating sheet H1 and a film heating sheet H2. The film heater chip H1 is used to heat the temperature sensor T1, and the film heater chip H2 is used to heat the temperature sensor T2. In the figure, F1, F2, and F3 are polyimide flexible circuit boards (FPCs), and have 3 layers in total. G1 and G2 are flexible thin film polyurethane foam heat insulation materials, after glue is coated on the flexible thin film polyurethane foam heat insulation materials, the three layers of FPC circuit substrates, namely the circuit substrate F1, the circuit substrate F2 and the circuit substrate F3, are bonded together, and the flexible thin film polyurethane foam heat insulation materials play a role in structural fixing and heat insulation. L1 and L2 are flexible FPC flexible flat cables which are used as electrical connecting leads between FPC circuit boards. The FPC connector is 5016162575 of MOLEX company. The silica gel heat-insulating material U1 prevents the heat loss on the skin surface, isolates the influence of external environment to whole sensor, and prevents the lateral heat loss when temperature sensor T3 temperature is gathered.
F1 is the main circuit substrate part, as shown in fig. 5, it includes flexible thin film lithium battery B1, patch electronic control circuit C1, temperature sensor T3, wireless charging module W1, bluetooth antenna module a1, FPC cable interface J1 and FPC cable interface J2; the flexible thin film lithium battery B1 supplies power to the whole circuit, so that the device has good ductility; the battery is charged in a wireless manner. After the system collects the data, the data is sent to the host through the Bluetooth, and the purpose of real-time monitoring is achieved.

The temperature sensor adopts NTC negative temperature coefficient thermistor, such as NCP03 WF; the thermistor is externally provided with a metal heat conduction cap structure to form a constant temperature cavity, so that the fluctuation of the temperature of the sensor is reduced. The temperature conduction speed is accelerated in the constant temperature cavity through the graphite heat conduction material. The metal material may be a material having relatively high thermal conductivity such as silver or copper.
The whole device adopts a flexible structure design, has good ductility and is suitable for being stuck on the skin of a human body.
When the temperature of the human body is measured, the medical adhesive tape is firstly adhered to the bottom of the temperature measuring device, so that the temperature measuring device can be in close contact with the skin of the human body through the adhesive tape, and heat loss is reduced. The main body part of the temperature measuring device is attached to the chest, the temperature sensor T3 is attached to the armpit, and the probe of the temperature sensor T3 is clamped through the armpit.
The temperature measurement process comprises (see fig. 7):
in stage one, a closed environment is created under the armpit and the temperature sensor T3 rapidly heats up. The temperature rise rates of the temperature sensor T1 and the temperature sensor T2 probe are much smaller than the temperature rise rate of the temperature sensor T3. And simultaneously and quickly acquiring the temperatures of the temperature sensor T1, the temperature sensor T2 and the temperature sensor T3. The temperature of the temperature sensor T3 is taken as the standard temperature T. The PID dynamically updates and continuously adjusts relevant heating parameters, such as heating power, heating time and the like, by controlling the heating of the film heating sheet H1 and the film heating sheet H2 through the PID. Parameters of PID regulation control in the figure: p is proportional, I is integral, and D is derivative. According to experimental data, the temperature of the temperature sensor T3 can be raised to 0.5-1 ℃ lower than the core temperature of the human body within 1-2 minutes, and the temperature rising trend is slow. If the temperature rise gradient of the temperature sensor T3 is less than 0.03 ℃/s, the temperature rise gradient of the temperature sensor T3 is less than 0.03 ℃/s, the state lasts for more than one minute, and the temperature of the temperature sensor T3 is greater than 32 ℃, the process enters a second stage, and the film heating sheet H1 is not heated any more.
In the second stage, by comparing the temperatures sampled by the temperature sensor T1 and the temperature sensor T2, the temperature of the temperature sensor T2 is compensated by heating the thin film heater chip H2, and a thermal equilibrium is established. The software continues to measure the temperature of the temperature sensor T3 and if the armpit continues to clamp, continues to give the zero heat flow model a calibrated temperature, which allows for greater accuracy in the subsequent overall measurement process. The temperature under the armpit can be used as the PID temperature regulation standard temperature in the first-stage quick temperature rise stage, and can also be used as the temperature calibration of the second-stage slow compensation.
