Campo de aplicación de la invenciónField of application of the invention

El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de aparatos y dispositivos para la lectura de temperatura corporal. Antecedentes de la invención The field of application of the present invention is framed within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of apparatus and devices for reading body temperature. Background of the invention

Como es sabido, a consecuencia de la aparición del virus de la COVID-19, se han tenido que tomar medidas de prevención por protocolo para evitar contagios, siendo una de estas medidas la de tomar la temperatura a las personas, por ejemplo al entrar en un recinto. Para ello, y evitando que las personas toquen directamente ningún aparato, se utilizan generalmente lectores de temperatura digital que actúan a través de infrarrojos.As is known, as a result of the appearance of the COVID-19 virus, preventive measures have had to be taken by protocol to avoid contagion, one of these measures being to take the temperature of people, for example when entering an enclosure. For this, and avoiding that people touch any device directly, digital temperature readers that act through infrared are generally used.

El problema es que este tipo de dispositivos, normalmente, están constituidos con un aparato de manejo manual de modo que hay que sujetarlo y mantenerlo durante unos segundos sobre una parte de la persona cuya temperatura se desea controlar, con lo cual, o bien hay que contar con operarios que realicen dicha labor, o bien el propio usuario debe manejarlo, en cuyo caso cada vez habría que proceder a desinfectarlo para poder ser manejado por distintos usuarios con seguridad.The problem is that this type of device, normally, is constituted with a manual handling device so that it must be held and held for a few seconds on a part of the person whose temperature is to be controlled, with which, either it is necessary to have operators who carry out this work, or the user himself must handle it, in which case each time it would be necessary to disinfect it to be able to be handled by different users safely.

Además otro inconveniente de este tipo de lectores conocidos es el de que la temperatura únicamente es conocida a través de la pequeña pantalla digital con que cuenta el propio dispositivo y que, por tanto, sólo es vista por el propio usuario y/o por la persona que efectúa el manejo del dispositivo.Furthermore, another drawback of this type of known reader is that the temperature is only known through the small digital screen that the device itself has and that, therefore, is only seen by the user and / or the person. that performs the operation of the device.

El objetivo de la presente invención es, pues, el desarrollo de un mejorado dispositivo lector de temperatura que evite dicho inconveniente mediante un diseño que, además de evitar el contacto para leer la temperatura, evite tener que sostenerlo para su uso y, además, permita conocer de manera muy evidente, para todo el entorno, cuando se supere la temperatura de umbral de fiebre. The objective of the present invention is, therefore, the development of an improved temperature reading device that avoids said inconvenience through a design that, in addition to avoiding contact to read the temperature, avoids having to hold it for use and, furthermore, allows know in a very evident way, for the whole environment, when the fever threshold temperature is exceeded.

Por otra parte, y como referencia al estado actual de la técnica, cabe señalar que, aunque como se ha dicho este tipo de lectores mediante infrarrojo es ya conocido, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ninguno que presente unas características técnicas, estructurales y constitutivas iguales o semejantes a las que presenta el que aquí se reivindica.On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although as has been said this type of infrared reader is already known, at least by the applicant, the existence of any that has characteristics is unknown. technical, structural and constitutive equal or similar to those presented by the one claimed herein.
