The magnet switch 708 is provided inside the lid member 102.

  The magnet switch 708 detects the magnetism of the magnet 706 in a state where the lid member 102 is rotated in a direction to open the opening 203 and is positioned at a position where the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 can be used. It is detected that the lid member 102 is positioned at a position where the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 can be used. Other parts of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100, such as the pump 701, the sensor substrate 702, the buffer 703, the filter 704, the electromagnetic SL 705, and the cuff connector 707, are well-known techniques and will not be described.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing the positional relationship between the magnet 706 and the magnet switch 708. In FIG. 8, the magnet 706 is attached to the plate-like member that forms the upper surface of the housing 101 from the inside of the housing 101. The magnet 706 is provided on the front side of the support shaft portion 103. The magnet switch 708 is provided at a position facing the magnet 706 with a plate-like member in between when the lid member 102 is positioned at a position where the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 can be used.

  The magnet 706 emits magnetism having a magnitude that can be detected by the magnet switch 708 when the magnet switch 708 is located within a predetermined range with respect to the magnet 706. Thereby, the magnet switch 708 is positioned in a position where the lid member 102 can use the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 and in the vicinity of the position, that is, in a state where the lid member 102 is close to the magnet 706 within a predetermined range. The magnetism of the magnet 706 can be detected.

  The electronic sphygmomanometer 100 turns on the power source of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 when the magnet switch 708 detects the magnetic force of the magnet 706. Further, the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 keeps the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 powered on while the magnet switch 708 detects the magnetic force of the magnet 706.

  The operation with respect to the operation key is enabled in a state where the magnet switch 708 detects the magnetism of the magnet 706. The liquid crystal display unit 204 displays predetermined information when the operation key can be operated. That is, the liquid crystal display unit 204 and the operation unit 205 operate only when the lid member 102 is positioned at a position where the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 can be used.

  Accordingly, the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 can be easily used by simply opening the lid member 102 without causing the user (the person to be measured) of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 to perform a special operation such as turning on the power. It can be in a state. In addition, since the liquid crystal display unit 204 and the operation keys operate only in a state where the lid member 102 is positioned at a position where the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 can be used, the battery is consumed due to, for example, forgetting to turn off the power. This can be prevented.

  In this embodiment, the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 is turned on by the magnet switch in a state where the lid member 102 is positioned at and near the position where the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 can be used. Although the example which performs is shown, the structure which switches the ON state and OFF state of the power supply in the electronic blood pressure monitor 100 is not restricted to this. Specifically, for example, the power supply switch of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 may be switched between the ON state and the OFF state regardless of the position of the lid member.

  Further, the configuration for switching the power supply from the ON state to the OFF state in the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 is not limited to the configuration using the lid member or the power switch as described above. Specifically, for example, when the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 is in the power-on state and the operation key is not operated for a certain time, the power source may be switched to the off-state. This can prevent the battery from being consumed due to forgetting to turn off the power.

FIG. 9 and 10, the lid member 102 is changed from the state shown in FIG. 3 to the state shown in FIG. 4 through the state shown in FIG. 9 and the state shown in FIG. Further, the lid member 102 is changed from the state shown in FIG. 4 to the state shown in FIG. 3 through the state shown in FIG. 10 and the state shown in FIG.

  The lid member 102 is configured to rotate when a load of a predetermined size or more is applied. A configuration in which the lid member 102 can be rotated when a load of a predetermined size or more is applied can be realized by using, for example, a torque hinge. Since the torque hinge is a known technique, description thereof is omitted.

  The lid member 102 is configured to be fixed at a position (predetermined position) that forms a predetermined angle with respect to the housing 101 when no load is applied. A configuration in which the lid member 102 is fixed at a predetermined position when no load is applied can be realized, for example, by using the above-described known torque hinge.

  Specifically, the lid member 102 is configured to be fixed at, for example, the position shown in FIG. 9 or the position shown in FIG. For example, the lid member 102 that is configured to be fixed at the position shown in FIG. 9 or the position shown in FIG. 10 is at an arbitrary position between the position shown in FIG. 9 and the position shown in FIG. 9, when the load applied to the lid member 102 disappears, the lid member 102 rotates to the front side or the rear side by its own weight, and the position shown in FIG. 9 or FIG. Stop at the position shown in.

  As a result, it is possible to prevent the liquid crystal display unit 204 and the operation keys from operating in a situation unintended by the measurement subject or an accident in which a finger is caught between the lid member 102 and the housing 101. . When the load applied to the lid member 102 becomes smaller than a predetermined magnitude, and when the load applied to the lid member 102 disappears, the lid member 102 The rotation may be stopped and fixed.

  When using the electronic sphygmomanometer 100, the measurement subject places a position where a part of the lid member 102 contacts the installation surface 301 of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 while applying a load of a predetermined size or more to the lid member 102. The lid member 102 is rotated until the cover member 102 is rotated. Based on the detection result of the magnet switch 708, the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 is positioned at a position where a part of the lid member 102 contacts the installation surface 301 of the electronic sphygmomanometer 100, that is, a position where the electronic sphygmomanometer 100 can be used. The liquid crystal display unit 204 and the operation unit 205 are operated at the same time or immediately before being positioned at the position.
