Description

  The present invention relates to a biological information measuring device.

Conventionally, wristwatches having a function of measuring biological information such as pulse and blood pressure are known. For example, in a wristwatch, an air chamber is formed in a case body, a cuff communicating with the air chamber is provided, and a pressure sensor is provided so as to face the air chamber (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this wristwatch, the air in the cuff is intermittently pressurized in accordance with the pulsation of the blood vessel of the wrist, and is transmitted to the air chamber as a pressure fluctuation. The pressure change in the air chamber is detected by a pressure sensor and displayed as blood pressure.
By the way, as a band for mounting such a wristwatch on a wrist, for example, a band that can be fixed to a wrist by inserting a stick provided on a buckle into a hole formed in the band is known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

  However, in the case of the band described in Patent Document 2, the degree of tightening of the wristwatch on the wrist is adjusted based on the interval between the holes formed in the band. By adjusting the length, the degree of tightening of the wristwatch having a pulse measurement function on the wrist varies depending on the wearer's preference. Therefore, when wearing the watch relatively tightly on the wrist, the cuff and the wrist are in close contact, so the pulsation is reliably transmitted to the cuff and there is no problem with the measurement, but when the watch is worn loosely on the wrist Has a problem that a gap is formed between the cuff and the wrist, and the pulse and blood pressure cannot be reliably detected.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a biological information measuring device that can be brought into close contact with the wrist and reliably detect biological information regardless of the degree of tightening of the wearer on the wrist.
