Description

Electronic thermometer

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of electronic thermometer.

Background technology

Electronic thermometer is constituted as with heat sensitive sensor and measures body temperature, and detection is considered to the equilibrium temperature of body temperature and reports, shows.Such electronic thermometer automatically judges when body temperature is measured and measure to finish, and measures when finishing being judged as, and reports to measure and finishes and detected temperatures is shown as body temperature, therefore, compares and can promptly measure with the mercury electronic thermometer.

As the mode that judge to measure finishes, what proposed has: measure temperature and be judged as the mode that finishes measured in specified time limit when constant, be judged as the mode that finishes measured when having passed through the stipulated time of carrying out timing by timer, be judged as the mode that finishes etc. of measuring when temperature does not rise in specified time limit detecting.

In addition, following electronic thermometer is also proposed: except measuring reporting of finishing, also carry out in the mensuration process abnormality detection, will measure normally and finish and the distinguishing unusually mutually and report and continue mensuration after reporting carrying out this of the mensuration state that need resurvey, until switch motion or pass through the automatic cancellation time.(for example, with reference to patent documentation 1)

In addition, following electronic thermometer is also proposed: in order to be easy to measure baby or child's body temperature, during before the stipulated time that begins body temperature mensuration from the mensuration circuit, extremely passing through the stipulated time, and, make the voice output that is recorded among the ROM to loudspeaker measuring to through during the stipulated time from finishing body temperature.(for example, with reference to patent documentation 2)

Patent documentation 1: the spy opens flat 10-253464 number

Patent documentation 2: open flat 06-30738 communique in fact

As mentioned above, in having the electronic thermometer of device for informing, even during reporting action, still proceed to measure action.Usually, measure body temperature determinator drive source and drive loudspeaker etc. and export buzz and melody or be recorded in the drive source of the device for informing of the sound among the ROM, in order to pursue the electronic thermometer miniaturization, do not prepare power supply respectively and be to use identical power supply.

Usually,, consider convenience, use compact batteries such as button battery as the power supply that is used for mini-plant such as electronic thermometer.Such battery is not because output capacity is very big, so when measuring action simultaneously and reporting action, compare the ratio that cell voltage descends with the situation of carrying out each action respectively and become big.

Therefore, during determinator is measured body temperature, when device for informing output buzz and melody or sound, may cause cell voltage to descend thus, the body temperature that influences determinator is measured precision.

Sometimes under the situation of the sound of output record in ROM, know the moment of output sound in advance, at this moment, can consider between test period, not carry out voice output, do not measure action simultaneously and report action by preestablishing actuation time and making.

But, used the device for informing of ROM, may change the melody this point as a feature by changing ROM.Under the situation of having changed ROM like this, consider owing to be recorded in the length difference of the melody among the ROM, produce and measure the action time band overlapping with reporting action, have influence on the mensuration precision.

For example, reporting the mensuration end by the melody sound that is recorded among the ROM, under the situation of restarting to measure after the melody sound is through with, if the melody before changing is longer than the warning length of the melody after changing, then before melody is reported end, restart to measure action, measure action simultaneously and report action.

Change the problem that is caused in order to solve this ROM, when changing ROM, need redesign and set to make actuation time and measure action and to report action not overlapping.For the design again of carrying out this actuation time in the fabrication phase and set again, need the recast control program, the control program of recast is write control with the medium process of storer, there are cost cost of development or the problem of development time.

Therefore, the objective of the invention is to solve existing problem, in reporting the electronic thermometer of action, prevent to measure simultaneously action and report action, another purpose is to prevent to cause measuring the decline of precision because of cell voltage descends.

Summary of the invention

Electronic thermometer of the present invention has the determinator of measuring body temperature, the device for informing of reporting, the described mensuration action of control and the described control circuit of reporting action, and wherein said control circuit is measured action after reporting release detecting.

Here, determinator has based on the sensor of measuring body temperature or sensor exports the mensuration circuit of measuring, and measuring circuit can be made of CPU and program.

Pen recorder can be the device of reporting data of the visual information of auditory information such as record melody sound, buzz or sound or image etc., for example, can be melody IC or ROM etc.

Device for informing can be with being recorded in the device that the data in the pen recorder are reported, or the loudspeaker of output melody sound, buzz or sound, or the display device of the view data of display image etc.

Control circuit is also controlled the action of reporting of device for informing except the mensuration action of control determinator.

Control circuit has to be made the control model of measuring the action beginning and make the control model of reporting the action beginning after the mensuration action stops after reporting release.

Report to make after the release in the control model of measuring the action beginning and have, for example, make and carry out reporting of melody etc. behind the power connection of electronic thermometer, report at this and make the pattern that begins of measuring after finishing; Begin, after this reports release, make the pattern that action begins again of measuring with this mensuration being stopped and making to report to move.

In addition, have measuring to make in the control model of reporting the action beginning after action stops, make according to the equilibrium state of measured value or rapid variation etc. measure action and stop after, report the pattern of action.

In order to carry out in above-mentioned each action control constantly, control circuit can be based on the switching manipulation of measured value conditioned disjunction, carry out determinator the mensuration action stop to control and the control that begins of reporting action of device for informing.In addition, the beginning to control situation about having stopped of the mensuration of determinator action and carrying out based on the drive signal of coming automatic drive device, this drive unit output is used to drive the drive signal of device for informing.

Under the situation that begins again to control of the mensuration action of carrying out this determinator based on the stopping of drive signal that comes automatic drive device, the control circuit feedback is from the drive signal of drive unit output, detecting the drive signal of being fed back is zero time-amplitude, the action that the situation of amplitude is judged as device for informing that exceeds schedule time of this time-amplitude is stopped, to the mensuration action of determinator begin again control.

Thus, for example, under the situation of the melody signal that sends melody by drive unit output with device for informing, control circuit feeds back this melody signal, passed through the stipulated time by detecting after not exporting melody signal, judge and report action and finish, make and measure the control that action begins again.

In addition, carry out described determinator mensuration action stop to control and the measured value condition that begins to control of reporting action of device for informing, can be various ways.

The 1st kind of form of measured value condition is the balance that detects the measured value of determinator.Detecting the balance of measured value, is to detect measured value to have reached steady state (SS).This form is to detect the equilibrium temperature that is considered to body temperature, and to measure variation of temperature later on very little because anticipation detects this balance, so even stop temporarily to stop determinator to the determinator supply capability, also can not hinder mensuration.At this moment, device for informing is carried out electric power supply with, and carry out the action of reporting of device for informing.Carry out when thus, can avoid determinator and device for informing.

In addition, the 2nd of the measured value condition the kind of form is the rapid variation that detects the measured value of determinator.The 2nd kind of form is to detect because of some mensuration that causes unusually badly, after detecting this unusual generation, even stop temporarily to stop determinator to the determinator supply capability, also can not hinder mensuration.At this moment, device for informing is carried out electric power supply with, and carry out the action of reporting of device for informing.Carry out when thus, can avoid determinator and device for informing.

Detecting the variation of measured value, can be the rate of change or the measured value variable quantity at the appointed time of measured value.The 1st kind of form detect balance, rate of change that can be by measured value below setting value, the variable quantity in the stipulated time of measured value setting value with under detect.

In addition, the rapid variation that detects measured value of the 2nd kind of form, rate of change that can be by measured value more than setting value, the variable quantity in the stipulated time of measured value setting value with on detect.

In addition, the mensuration of determinator action stop to control and device for informing report beginning to control also and can being undertaken of action by the predetermined operation of operating switchs such as power switch.

In addition, about device for informing report action stop also various ways can be arranged.

Report the 1st form that stops of action and undertaken by predetermined operation, control circuit stops to report action based on the control signal of predetermined operation.Predetermined operation can be for example switching manipulation.

Report the 2nd form that stops of action, be based on that the control signal of the 1st form undertaken by the output that stops drive signal.Control circuit stops the output of drive signal based on control signal, stops the driving of device for informing, stops to report action thus.

And electronic thermometer of the present invention can make mensuration begin after the mensuration action that stops determinator again.Control circuit begins the mensuration of determinator again reporting after action stops.Thus, prevent to measure action and carrying out when reporting action.

In addition, control circuit when having produced the control signal of predetermined operation, finishes the mensuration action of determinator reporting the action stopping period based on this control signal.Can carry out predetermined operation by the opening and closing operations of operating switchs such as power switch.

By the present invention, in reporting the electronic thermometer of action, can prevent to measure to move and report action and carry out simultaneously.

In addition, by preventing to measure action and reporting action and carry out simultaneously, can prevent the decline of the mensuration precision that the decline because of battery power plant causes.

In addition, in electronic thermometer of the present invention,, can change and report sound or report image by melody IC etc. is constituted replacing.At this moment, even the picture signal time of reporting the voice output time of sound or reporting image changes, because the reporting action and measure action and do not carry out simultaneously of melody output or image output etc., precision there not be the electronic thermometer that influences so can constitute.

Embodiment

Below describe electronic thermometer of the present invention in detail with accompanying drawing.

Fig. 1 is the schematic block diagram that is used to illustrate that the summary of electronic thermometer of the present invention constitutes.In Fig. 1, electronic thermometer 1 has: measure control circuit 2, be used to detect body temperature sensor 6, carry out the switchgears 7 such as drive unit 8, power switch or operating switch that the body temperature measured or the display device 10 of other demonstration, the device for informing 9 of reporting action, output drive the drive signal of device for informing.

Measure control circuit 2, control for the mensuration action of the determinator 3 of measuring body temperature according to the detection signal of the sensor of forming by thermal sensing elements such as thermistors 6, determinator 3 and the action of reporting of drive unit 8 and device for informing 9, so that two actions are not carried out simultaneously.Also have, measure control circuit 2 and have the timer 5 that is used for control and treatment.

Device for informing 9 has the sound generating apparatus of acoustic informations such as producing buzz or melody sound.Also have, under situation about reporting, can also have the image display device of display image data by literal, pattern or image.Display device 10 is the display parts that show the body temperature of being measured.Display device 10 can shared same display device with image display device.

Drive unit 8 outputs drive the drive signal of device for informing 9.Using under the situation of melody, can use the semiconductor equipment that is called as melody IC as reporting.Also have, also can use ROM etc.Under with the situation of Imagery Data Recording in ROM, can in the image display device of device for informing 9 or display device 10, show dynamic image.View data also can be an animation except that rest image.

Melody IC can constitute, and constitutes drive unit so that melody IC is whole, and the melody waveform transformation of the numerical data that will read from built-in melody storage part becomes simulating signal, and exports as drive signal; Can followingly constitute in addition, have the melody storage part and the drive unit portion of storage melody in melody IC, the melody waveform transformation of the numerical data that will be read from the melody storage part by drive unit portion becomes simulating signal, and exports as drive signal.

Control circuit 4 feedback and input be as the drive signal of the output signal of drive unit 8, by monitoring the drive signal of this feedback, can judge reporting action and whether finishing of device for informing 9.

Next, with the process flow diagram of Fig. 2, the action example of electronic thermometer of the present invention is described.

Electronic thermometer 1 is accepted power switch or is measured the operation of the switch of beginning, begins to measure body temperature (step S1), and measured value is presented on the display device 10 (step 2).

Control circuit 4 judges whether measured value reaches steady state (SS).Whether measured value reaches steady state (SS) can for example be judged according to the rate of change of measured value, when rate of change becomes predefined certain value when following, can be judged to be measured value and reach steady state (SS).At this moment measured value represents to be considered to the equilibrium temperature of body temperature.In addition, the judgement of steady state (SS) can be carried out (step S3) with determinator 3.

Reach in measured value under the situation of steady state (SS), temperature detection is through with and then measured value is shown as equilibrium temperature.Also have, also the situation that temperature detection finishes can be presented at (step S4) on the display device 10.If temperature detection finishes, then control circuit 4 interrupts the mensuration action (step S5) of determinator 3, and trigger pip is sent to drive unit 8 (step S6).In addition, explanation is as an example write down melody data in drive unit 8 here, by this melody being carried out the situation that drive signal that analog converting obtains is reported.

The drive unit 8 (melody IC) that has received trigger pip forms drive signal based on the data (melody data) of reporting that write down, and the sound generating apparatus that this drive signal is sent to device for informing 9 produces melody.In addition, drive unit 8 will be reported data and send to device for informing 9, and drive signal is also fed back to control circuit 4.Control circuit 4 detects the drive signal of being fed back from drive unit 8 and does not change at the appointed time, and monitors whether feedback signal is in persistent state.

Here, feedback signal continues, and expression sends drive signal to device for informing 9, and is just reporting action.On the other hand, feedback signal stops, and expression does not exist to the drive signal that device for informing 9 sends, and reports action and stop.

In addition, can not have the state that changes stipulated time and continuing whether continuously, come the decision-feedback signal whether to be in persistent state by the drive signal that detection is fed.About the judgement of the lasting end of this feedback signal, surpassed the stipulated time by the time that detects drive signal and do not have to change, can prevent to be contained in the misinterpretation that causes in the melody signal (drive signal) itself because of the time of tone-off.This stipulated time for example can be set at 2 seconds arbitrarily or 3 seconds etc.

Control circuit 4, for example, import the melody signal that outputs to the simulation of device for informing 9 from drive unit 8, this melody signal is carried out A/D be for conversion into digital signal,, be judged as and report action and finish for example under the situation of low level state continuance stipulated time at the level of this digital signal.In addition, signal level is not limited to low level, also can be high level, or the two intermediate level of high level and low level, this signal level is not had the state continuance that changes at certain level the situation of stipulated time as the Rule of judgment of reporting release (step S7).

In the judgement of described step S7, do not continue if be judged to be feedback signal, stop to send drive signal to device for informing 9, the action of reporting of device for informing 9 finishes, and then control circuit 4 begins the mensuration action of discontinued determinator 3 again.

Like this, control circuit 4 device for informing 9 report release after because control determinator 3 is measured action and is reported action (step S8) so can not carry out simultaneously so that it measures action begins again.

The action of the mensuration that begins again, except automatically stopping outside (step S9,11) through after the stipulated time, the OFF operation by power switch stops (step S10,11).

Also have, in the judgement of the steady state (SS) of described step S3, in the stage to steady state (SS), surpass under the situation predefined setting, that temperature has descended in measured value, be judged to be in mensuration, take place unusual.This rises to steady state (SS) usually after measuring beginning, measured value does not descend significantly in this is measured.

Therefore, descend to such an extent that surpass under the situation of setting in measured value, judge unusual (step S12) takes place in mensuration, control circuit 4 interrupts the mensuration (step S13) of determinators 3, trigger pip is sent in the drive unit 8 of melody IC etc. (step S14).

Below, same with described step S7,8 process, the drive unit 8 (melody IC) that has received trigger pip is sent to the data (melody data) of reporting that write down the tone generating device of device for informing 9 and melody is taken place.In addition, drive unit 8 will be reported data and be sent to device for informing 9 and drive signal is also fed back to control circuit 4.Control circuit 4 detects the variation of the drive signal that is fed from drive unit 8, monitors whether feedback signal is in persistent state (step S15).

In the judgement of described step S15, if feedback signal does not continue, then stop to send drive signal to device for informing 9, finish if judge the action of reporting of device for informing 9, then control circuit 4 begins the mensuration action (step S16) of discontinued determinator 3 again.

After mensuration begins again, be back to described step S2, and the measured value that records is presented on the display device 10, carry out the same processing in back then.

Below, the mensuration action of electronic thermometer of the present invention is described and reports action with Fig. 3,4.In addition, when Fig. 3 is illustrated in and measures temperature and reach steady state (SS), measure stopping and action of starting example that reporting action of action.Fig. 4 is illustrated in to measure and measures stopping and action of starting example that reporting action of action when temperature descends significantly.Also have, in Fig. 3, (a) be ON, the OFF state of power supply, (b) be to measure variation of temperature, (c) be the mark of expression stable detection state, (d) being the trigger pip that control circuit exports drive unit to, (e) is the drive signal output that sends to device for informing from drive unit, (f) is the mensuration mark of the mensuration state of expression determinator.In addition, in Fig. 4, (a) be ON, the OFF state of power supply, (b) be to measure variation of temperature, (c) being the mark of expression stable detection state, (d) is that temperature decline detects, and (e) is the trigger pip that control circuit outputs to drive unit, (f) be the drive signal output that sends to device for informing from drive unit, (g) be the mensuration mark of the mensuration state of expression determinator.

At first, will measure temperature and reach steady state (SS), measure the action of starting example that stops and reporting action of action with Fig. 3 explanation as condition.

In Fig. 3, begin to measure back (the mensuration mark of Fig. 3 (a) is the ON state), measure the temperature rising and reach steady state (SS) (A of Fig. 3 (b)).If determinator or control circuit detect this steady state (SS), then being judged as can detected temperatures, and making the stable detection status indication is ON (the ON state of Fig. 3 (c)), should measure temperature and be presented on the display device as equilibrium temperature.In addition, make to measure and be labeled as OFF and stop at mensuration action (B of Fig. 3 (f)) in the determinator.

In addition, control circuit is sent to drive unit based on detecting this steady state (SS) with trigger pip (the triggering output of Fig. 3 (d)).The drive unit that receives trigger pip begins to be reported information and the drive signal (C of Fig. 3 (e)) that forms to device for informing output based on what write down.Here, the melody signal of output time amplitude T1 (output of Fig. 3 (e)) for example.

Whether not control circuit feeds back this and reports information (output of Fig. 3 (e)), because the information of reporting does not have output (D of Fig. 3 (e) constantly), monitoring drive signal output during the moment (E of Fig. 3 (e) constantly) of elapsed time T0.During this time T 0, do not detect under the situation of drive signal, be judged as the end of output of drive signal and reported release, make the ON state that is labeled as (F of Fig. 3 (f)) that is in the OFF state, begin the mensuration action of determinator again.

Therefore, when relatively the mensuration of reporting action (Fig. 3 (e)) and determinator of device for informing was moved (Fig. 3 (f)), do not have overlapping both actuation times, can not carry out simultaneously.

Next, will measure temperature and descend significantly, measure stopping and action of starting example that reporting action of action with Fig. 4 explanation as condition.

In Fig. 4, begin to measure back (the mensuration mark of Fig. 4 (a) is the ON state), measure temperature and rise.If this temperature between the rising stage temperature descend significantly (G of Fig. 4 (b)), then determinator or control circuit detect this temperature and descend (H of Fig. 4 (d)), control circuit judge taken place unusual.At this moment, control circuit can will be presented on the display device unusually.In addition, make to measure and be labeled as OFF and stop mensuration action (I of Fig. 4 (g)) in the determinator.

In addition, control circuit descends based on detecting this temperature, and trigger pip (the triggering output of Fig. 4 (e)) is sent to drive unit.Received the drive unit of trigger pip, beginning is exported based on the formed drive signal of the information of reporting that is write down (J of Fig. 4 (f)) to device for informing.When the information of reporting at this moment can finish with described temperature detection to report information different, for example, can be other melody data.Here, for example be T2 (output of Fig. 4 (f)) by this time-amplitude of reporting the drive signal that information (melody data) forms.

Control circuit feeds back this activation bit (output of Fig. 4 (f)), monitors at output drive signal (K of Fig. 4 (f) constantly) never whether do not have output drive signal between the moment (L of Fig. 4 (f) constantly) of elapsed time T0.During this time T 0, do not detect under the situation of drive signal, be judged as the end of output of drive signal and report action and finish, make the mensuration that is in the OFF state be labeled as ON state (M of Fig. 4 (g)), begin the mensuration action of determinator again.In addition, time-amplitude T0 is and the identical time-amplitude of action example shown in Fig. 3, but also can is the time-amplitude different with it.

After the mensuration action begins again, under the situation of normally having carried out body temperature mensuration, carry out and the same action shown in described Fig. 3.Here, omitted explanation to same action.

Therefore, when relatively the mensuration of reporting action (Fig. 4 (f)) and determinator of device for informing was moved (Fig. 4 (g)), both actuation times were not overlapping, can not carry out simultaneously.

Next, at the state of the power source ON of electronic thermometer, the action example under the situation of the operation of stipulating with the flowchart text of Fig. 5.In addition, so-called here predetermined operation for example, is the operation of pressing the action button that electronic thermometer possesses, and also power knob can be also used as action button.

Electronic thermometer of the present invention, by predetermined operation, if in reporting course of action then can report stopping of action, in addition, if in the mensuration process then can make to measure and finish, in addition, if in non-mensuration process then can make and measure beginning.

In the process flow diagram of Fig. 5, if carry out predetermined operation (step S21), then whether control circuit is judged when this predetermined operation from drive unit receiving feedback signals (step S22).

In this was judged, if the feedback signal of detecting is judged to be in reporting course of action, then control circuit stopped to report action.Report stopping and carrying out (step S23) by the control that control that stops from the output of the data of drive unit or the action that makes device for informing are stopped of action.

After having stopped reporting action, make and measure the mensuration action (step S24) that is labeled as ON and begins determinator.

Therefore, by this operation, for example,, under the situation of melody of ringing, can stop the operation that melody is rung as reporting action.

In the judgement of step S22, if do not detect feedback signal, be judged to be not in reporting course of action, then judge and measure mark (step S25).In the judgement of measuring mark, be under the situation of ON state measuring mark, make to measure to be labeled as OFF and to finish to measure (step S26).

Therefore, by in mensuration, carrying out this operation, can make to measure and finish.

In addition, in the judgement of the mensuration mark of step S25, be under the situation of OFF state measuring mark, make to measure to be labeled as ON and to begin to measure (step S27).

Therefore, by in non-mensuration, carrying out this operation, can make and measure beginning.

Next, with Fig. 6～Fig. 8, illustrate to make the described action example that action stops of reporting.This action example is with routine by reporting the corresponding action of the shut-down operation of ringing that action rings under the situation of melody.

During Fig. 6 is illustrated in and reports action by the action of normal mensuration, make by predetermined operation and to report action and stop and making measuring the action example that action stops.

In Fig. 6, (a) be ON, the OFF state of power supply, (b) be to measure variation of temperature, (c) be the mark of expression stable detection state, (d) be the trigger pip that control circuit exports drive unit to, (e) being to export to the data of reporting that device for informing sends from drive unit, (f) being predetermined operation, (g) is the mensuration mark of the mensuration state of expression determinator.

Fig. 6 reaches steady state (SS) as condition with the mensuration temperature, measure action stop with reporting action beginning, report the example that carries out the situation of predetermined operation in the course of action at this.

In Fig. 6, beginning to measure back (the mensuration mark of Fig. 6 (a) is the ON state), measure temperature and rise, reach steady state (SS) (A of Fig. 6 (b)).Determinator or control circuit, when detecting this steady state (SS), being judged to be can detected temperatures, and making the stable detection status indication is ON (the ON state of Fig. 6 (c)), should measure temperature and be presented in the display device as equilibrium temperature.Also have, make to measure to be labeled as OFF, stop the mensuration action (B of Fig. 6 (g)) in the determinator.

In addition, control circuit is sent to drive unit based on detecting this steady state (SS) with trigger pip (the triggering output of Fig. 6 (d)).The drive unit that has received trigger pip forms drive signal based on the information of reporting that is write down, and beginning is exported formed drive signal (C of Fig. 6 (e)) to device for informing.Above-mentioned action is identical with Fig. 3.

In this drive signal of output and during reporting action, if carry out predetermined operation (N of Fig. 6 (f)), then the control circuit accessory drive stops to report signal (O of Fig. 6 (e)) to device for informing output.

In addition, control circuit makes the mensuration that is in the OFF state be labeled as ON state (P of Fig. 6 (g)), begins the mensuration action of determinator again.

Afterwards, if carry out predetermined operation (Q of Fig. 6 (f)) once more, then control circuit makes the mensuration that is in the ON state be labeled as OFF state (R of Fig. 6 (g)), makes the mensuration release of determinator.

Next, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 descend as condition significantly to measure temperature, measure action the beginning that stops and reporting action, report the example that carries out the situation of predetermined operation in the course of action at this.

In Fig. 7, after beginning mensuration (mensuration of Fig. 7 (a) is labeled as the ON state), measure temperature and rise.If this temperature between the rising stage temperature descend significantly (G of Fig. 7 (b)), then determinator or control circuit detect this temperature and descend (H of Fig. 7 (d)), control circuit judge taken place unusual.At this moment, control circuit can show on display device that also generation is unusual.Also have, control circuit makes to measure and is labeled as OFF, and stops the mensuration action (I of Fig. 7 (h)) in the determinator.

Also have, control circuit descends based on detecting this temperature, and trigger pip (the triggering output of Fig. 7 (e)) is sent to drive unit.The drive unit that has received trigger pip report beginning to device for informing output based on the formed drive signal of the information of reporting that is write down (J of Fig. 7 (f)).Above-mentioned action is identical with Fig. 4.

This reports information in output, reports during the action, and when carrying out predetermined operation (S of Fig. 7 (g)), the control circuit accessory drive makes the information of the reporting output to device for informing stop (T of Fig. 7 (f)).

Also have, control circuit makes the mensuration that is in the OFF state be labeled as ON state (U of Fig. 7 (h)), begins the mensuration action of determinator again.

Begun again to measure after the action, under the situation of normally carrying out body temperature mensuration, carried out and the identical action shown in described Fig. 3.Here omit explanation to same action.

In the action example of Fig. 8, if in the action example of Fig. 7, carried out reporting stopping and measuring (the S of Fig. 8 after the beginning again of action of action, T, U), carry out predetermined operation (V of Fig. 8 (g)) once more, then control circuit makes the mensuration that is in the ON state be labeled as OFF state (W of Fig. 8 (h)), makes the mensuration release of determinator.

Like this, though situation after measuring action, report action in the rapid variation that detects measured value or when detecting the balance of measured value has been described with Fig. 2～Fig. 4, Fig. 6～Fig. 8, but the present invention also can press power switch from the state of measuring release and make and report action when measuring the action beginning, begins to measure after reporting release and moves detecting this.

For example, in the formation identical with Fig. 1, press power switch from the state of measuring release and make (when the mensuration mark of Fig. 5, step S27 becomes ON) when measuring the action beginning, 4 pairs of drive units of control circuit, 8 output trigger pips are also reported action.Then, will feed back in the control circuit 4 from the drive signal that drive unit 8 exports to the device for informing 9, control circuit 4 detects drive signal not in persistent state (drive signal does not change at the appointed time) not afterwards, makes sensor 6 actions, measures action.

Also have, this situation also can have been operated in reporting course of action under the situation of action button, and control circuit 4 accessory drives 8 also make and report action and stop.

Fig. 9 is the figure of an example of the outward appearance of expression electronic thermometer of the present invention, and Fig. 9 (a) represent the front, and Fig. 9 (b) represents the side, and Fig. 9 (c) represents the back side.

Electronic thermometer has each device and the shell 11 of circuit that is built-in with shown in Fig. 1, is provided with the sensor wrap 13 of protection sensor in the end of a side of shell 11, is provided with battery cover 12 in the end of the opposite side of shell 11.The part of sensor wrap 13 forms carefullyyer than the body part of shell 11.Also have, make battery cover 12 freely openables, so that the replacing of battery in the enclosure to be installed.

Cardinal principle middle body in the front is provided with the display panel 15 that shows the body temperature record, and switch 14.Switch 14 is used as power switch and operating switch.

In addition, cardinal principle middle body overleaf is equipped with the bonnet 16 that has formed buzzing hole 17.In addition, the outward appearance of the electronic thermometer shown in Fig. 9 is an example, also other outward appearance.

Figure 10 is the configuration example that stops of measuring action by the timing of timer.Be with formation difference shown in Figure 1, do not use the feedback signal of automatic drive device 8, but by measure the control that stops of action from the timing signal of timer 5.

Circuit by Figure 10 constitutes, control circuit 4 is based on the timing of timer, carries out in advance in the mensuration action that has stopped simultaneously with the beginning of reporting action.For example, will be redefined for the time that begins again to measuring from the duration T m1 of the melody data of the melody ROM1 of Figure 11 (d), by the timing of timer, the moment through Tm1 mensuration stops after beginning mensuration (Figure 11 (e)) again.

The situation of melody ROM has been changed in Figure 11 (f), (g) expression.When melody ROM is replaced by the duration (Tm2) long melody ROM2 by melody ROM1, make remaining under the situation of Tm1 of in control circuit 4, setting to measuring the time that begins again, produce reporting action and measuring the action overlapped period of output melody, this voltage that causes of possible reason descends and makes the mensuration precise decreasing.

To this, come the drive signal output of automatic drive device and monitor to report action by feedback and detection, even under the altered situation of duration of the drive signal of exporting from the driving data device, also can make and report action and measure the nonoverlapping action control of action, can prevent to cause the decline of measuring precision because of voltage descends.

Industrial utilizability

In sum, electronic thermometer of the present invention can be applied to report the electronic thermometer of action In.
