ホルダ部10、電極部20、及び接続対象部材30は夫々上述のような構成を有しており、脳波検出用生体電極1においては、電極部20がホルダ部10の収容凹部12に収容されており、接続対象部材30がホルダ部10の収容凹部12に保持されている。具体的には、電極部20の複数の突出部22が貫通孔11を貫通してホルダ部10の円盤部13の外側面13bから飛び出しており、基底部21がホルダ部10の円盤部13の対向面13aに当接されている。また、接続対象部材30の接触突出部34が電極部20の接触凹部25に圧入されている。これにより、電極部20は接続対象部材30の対向面31aに当接されて固定されている。また、接続対象部材30の本体部31は、保持部材16の突出部分が円筒部14の内周面14aにおける環状溝15と接続対象部材30の本体部31の外周面31cとの間で圧縮されることで保持部材16内に挟持されてホルダ部10の収容凹部12内に保持されている。また、接続対象部材30の本体部31は、電極部20の基底部21をホルダ部10の円盤部13との間で圧縮して挟持している。これにより、電極部20の基底部21は、接続対象部材30とホルダ部10との間において保持されている。   The holder unit 10, the electrode unit 20, and the connection target member 30 each have the above-described configuration, and the electrode unit 20 is accommodated in the accommodation recess 12 of the holder unit 10 in the brain wave detecting biological electrode 1 The connection target member 30 is held in the housing recess 12 of the holder 10. Specifically, the plurality of projecting portions 22 of the electrode portion 20 penetrates the through hole 11 and protrudes from the outer surface 13 b of the disc portion 13 of the holder portion 10, and the base portion 21 of the disc portion 13 of the holder portion 10. It is in contact with the facing surface 13a. Further, the contact protrusion 34 of the connection target member 30 is press-fit into the contact recess 25 of the electrode unit 20. Thus, the electrode portion 20 is in contact with and fixed to the facing surface 31 a of the connection target member 30. Further, in the main body portion 31 of the connection target member 30, the projecting portion of the holding member 16 is compressed between the annular groove 15 in the inner peripheral surface 14a of the cylindrical portion 14 and the outer peripheral surface 31c of the main body portion 31 of the connection target member 30. Thus, it is held in the holding member 16 and held in the housing recess 12 of the holder portion 10. Further, the main body portion 31 of the connection target member 30 compresses and holds the base portion 21 of the electrode portion 20 with the disk portion 13 of the holder portion 10. Thus, the base portion 21 of the electrode unit 20 is held between the connection target member 30 and the holder unit 10.

このように、脳波検出用生体電極1によれば、接続対象部材30の接触突出部34が電極部20の接触凹部25に圧入されており、電極部20の接触凹部25と接続対象部材30の接触突出部34とが均一な面圧で夫々接触している。このため、接触突出部34の接触凹部25内に挿入された部分の側面全体が均一な力で接触凹部25に押し付けられており、接触凹部25と接触突出部34との間の接触を均一な状態に保持することができ、検出した脳波として伝達される電気信号のノイズの発生を防止することができる。また、接続対象部材30の接触突出部34による接触は、接続対象部材30と電極部20との間の接触よりも接触面積が小さくなっているため、均一な接触状態の維持を容易にすることができる。   As described above, according to the electroencephalogram detection biological electrode 1, the contact protrusion 34 of the connection target member 30 is press-fit into the contact recess 25 of the electrode portion 20, and the contact recess 25 of the electrode portion 20 and the connection target member 30 The contact projections 34 are in contact with each other with uniform surface pressure. Therefore, the entire side surface of the portion inserted into the contact recess 25 of the contact protrusion 34 is pressed against the contact recess 25 with a uniform force, and the contact between the contact recess 25 and the contact protrusion 34 is uniform. The state can be held, and the generation of the noise of the electrical signal transmitted as the detected brain wave can be prevented. In addition, the contact by the contact projection 34 of the connection target member 30 has a contact area smaller than the contact between the connection target member 30 and the electrode portion 20, so that the maintenance of a uniform contact state is facilitated. Can do.

また、脳波検出用生体電極1においては、電極部20の突出部22がホルダ部10の貫通孔11を貫通しており、接続対象部材30の接触突出部34が電極部20の接触凹部25に圧入されているため、ホルダ部10と接続対象部材30とが相対回転不能であり、ホルダ部10と接続対象部材30との間をねじにより固定することができない。しかしながら、ホルダ部10が弾性体から形成された環状の部材である保持部材16を有しているので、接続対象部材30を収容凹部12に挿入することにより、保持部材16により接続対象部材30を保持し、収容凹部12内に接続対象部材30を固定することができる。   Further, in the electroencephalogram detection biological electrode 1, the protrusion 22 of the electrode unit 20 penetrates the through hole 11 of the holder 10, and the contact protrusion 34 of the connection target member 30 is in the contact recess 25 of the electrode 20. Since the holder portion 10 and the connection target member 30 can not be rotated relative to each other because they are press-fitted, the holder portion 10 and the connection target member 30 can not be fixed by screws. However, since the holder portion 10 has the holding member 16 which is an annular member formed of an elastic body, the connection target member 30 is inserted into the housing recess 12 so that the connection target member 30 is held by the holding member 16. The connection target member 30 can be fixed in the housing recess 12 by holding.

また、収容凹部12の内面には、接続対象部材30の収容方向を規定するガイド部17が形成されていることで、ガイド部17を接続対象部材30のガイド溝32に係合させるだけで電極部20の突出部22をホルダ部10の貫通孔11に貫通させることができ、または、接続対象部材30の接触突出部34を電極部20の接触凹部25に圧入させることができるため、脳波検出用生体電極1の組立を容易にすることができる。   In addition, the guide portion 17 for defining the housing direction of the connection target member 30 is formed on the inner surface of the housing concave portion 12, so that the electrode can be simply engaged with the guide groove 32 of the connection target member 30. The protrusion 22 of the portion 20 can be penetrated through the through hole 11 of the holder 10, or the contact protrusion 34 of the connection target member 30 can be pressed into the contact recess 25 of the electrode portion 20. The assembly of the biomedical electrode 1 can be facilitated.

また、脳波検出用生体電極1によれば、電極部20が導電性弾性体により形成されており、電極部20が変形し易くなっており、使用時に被験者の頭皮に電極部20全体が接触し易くなっており、密着性が向上されている。一方、基底部21も変形し易くなっているが、基底部21は接続対象部材30とホルダ部10との間において強固に保持されており、被験者の頭皮に電極部20が押しつけられたり、この状態で脳波検出用生体電極1が動かされて電極部20が押しつけられる角度が変わった場合であっても、電極部20がホルダ部10から抜け出ることを防止できる。また、電極部20を1つ有しており、電極部20は、基底部21と、複数の貫通孔11毎に設けられた複数の突出部22とを有していることで、電極部20を一度にホルダ部10に取り付けることができるため、脳波検出用生体電極1の構造を簡潔にすることができ、製造を容易にすることができる。   Further, according to the electroencephalogram detection biological electrode 1, the electrode unit 20 is formed of a conductive elastic body, the electrode unit 20 is easily deformed, and the entire electrode unit 20 contacts the subject's scalp during use. It is easy and the adhesion is improved. On the other hand, although the base portion 21 is also easily deformed, the base portion 21 is firmly held between the connection target member 30 and the holder portion 10, and the electrode portion 20 is pressed against the scalp of the subject. Even when the electroencephalogram detection biological electrode 1 is moved in the state and the angle at which the electrode unit 20 is pressed changes, the electrode unit 20 can be prevented from coming off the holder unit 10. In addition, one electrode unit 20 is provided, and the electrode unit 20 includes the base unit 21 and a plurality of projecting units 22 provided for each of the plurality of through holes 11. Can be attached to the holder portion 10 at a time, the structure of the bioelectrode 1 for detecting an electroencephalogram can be simplified, and the manufacture can be facilitated.
