Description

  The present invention relates to clothing equipped with a body temperature measuring device for measuring the temperature of a human body.

  In general, it is well known that the ease of pregnancy is closely related to changes in basal body temperature due to changes in hormonal balance in women. The basal body temperature is preferably measured at a certain time every day, but for example, after getting up every morning, keeping the thermometer in close contact with the tongue and armpits for a certain period of time means that even in the morning there is no time. This can take extra time and lead to mental stress.

  Patent Literature 1 discloses a body temperature measurement device that measures body temperature while sleeping by being stored in a pocket provided in underwear such as a bra. In this body temperature measuring device, a temperature measuring element is incorporated in a housing, and the body temperature is measured by the temperature measuring element in a state of being stored in a pocket provided in underwear. Therefore, the user can measure the body temperature while sleeping without complicated work by simply putting the body temperature measurement device in the pocket of the underwear and wearing the underwear and going to bed.

JP 2005-164405 A

  However, in the device disclosed in Patent Document 1, the temperature measurement element is built in the housing, and further, the body temperature is measured in a state of being stored in a pocket provided in the underwear. When the element does not directly contact the human body and when the temperature measuring element touches the underwear, frictional heat is generated, and there is a problem that the body temperature cannot be accurately measured.

  In addition, since the body temperature measurement device is configured to be stored in a pocket, the body temperature measurement device may move in the pocket, for example, by turning over while sleeping. In such a case, for example, when calculating the basal body temperature from the body temperature sampled every predetermined time, there is a possibility that the sampled body temperature may be sampled at different measurement points of the human body, and the body temperature may be different from that of the human body. There is a problem that accurate basal body temperature cannot be obtained because the measurement location is slightly different. This is also due to the fact that the pocket needs to be larger than the outer shape of the body temperature measuring device in order to have a shape capable of storing the body temperature measuring device.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the related art, and has a body temperature measurement device-mounted garment that allows a user to accurately measure body temperature without complicated work. The purpose is to provide clothing.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides
Clothing worn on the human body in direct contact with the skin, and a body temperature measurement device equipped clothing having a device attached to the clothing and measuring the temperature of the skin to specify the temperature of the human body,
The device comprises:
A body temperature sensor that measures the temperature of the skin,
A housing for holding the body temperature sensor,
The clothing is
A part of the main body portion of the garment is attached in a state where a covering portion made of stretchable fabric is overlapped,
The covering portion, and a region facing the covering portion of the main body portion, to constitute a storage unit for removably storing the device,
The storage unit stores the device in a direction in which the body temperature sensor faces the human body when the garment is worn on a human body, and the width in at least one direction is equal to or less than the width of the stored device in the direction. And has a first window in a region facing the body temperature sensor,
The body temperature sensor protrudes from the surface of the housing by a thickness equal to or greater than the thickness of the fabric that is on the human body side when the garment is worn on the human body among the fabrics that form the storage unit.

  In the present invention configured as described above, the present invention is configured by a covering portion attached to a part of a main body portion of clothing worn on a human body while directly touching the skin, and a region facing the main body portion. A device having a body temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the skin is used in the storage section in a direction in which the body temperature sensor faces the human body. At this time, the covering portion is made of stretchable cloth, and the width of the storage portion in at least one direction is equal to or less than the same direction of the stored device, so that the storage portion is in an expanded state and covered. The restoring force due to the elasticity of the part allows the device to be securely held in the storage part. Accordingly, the device does not move in the storage section, and the body temperature sensor can measure the temperature of the skin at a certain position of the human body. Further, since the device is firmly held in the storage section, the device is less likely to fall out of the storage section. In addition, the storage unit is provided with a first window in a region facing the body temperature sensor, and the body temperature sensor allows the clothing of the fabric constituting the storage unit to be worn on the human body from the surface of the housing of the device. In this case, the device protrudes more than the thickness of the fabric on the side of the human body, so the body temperature sensor comes into direct contact with the skin just by wearing the clothing worn by the device being stored in the storage unit, The temperature of the skin is accurately measured, and an accurate body temperature can be specified by the temperature of the skin. Further, in order for the storage unit to hold the device firmly in the storage unit, the width of at least one direction is equal to or smaller than the same direction of the stored device, but the covering unit is made of stretchable cloth. By doing so, the device can be stored in the storage unit in a removable manner.

  In addition, if the first window also serves as a storage port for storing the device in the storage section, there is no need to separately provide the first window in addition to the storage port.

  When the device has an external temperature sensor that measures the external temperature of the device, if the external temperature sensor is held at a position recessed from the surface of the device housing, the external temperature sensor comes into contact with clothing. As a result, it is possible to prevent the external temperature of the device from being measured accurately due to frictional heat generated thereby.

  In the case where the device has an external temperature sensor that measures the external temperature of the device, if the second window is provided in a region facing the external temperature sensor in the storage unit, the external temperature sensor can be attached to the clothing. It is avoided that the external temperature of the device is not accurately measured due to the frictional heat generated by the contact.

A body temperature sensor that measures the temperature of the skin to determine the temperature of the human body is configured to be able to wear a device that is held in a housing, and clothing that is worn on the human body in direct contact with the skin,
A part of the main body portion of the garment is attached in a state where a covering portion made of stretchable fabric is overlapped,
The covering portion, and a region facing the covering portion of the main body portion, to constitute a storage unit for removably storing the device,
The storage unit stores the device in a direction in which the body temperature sensor faces the human body when the garment is worn on a human body, and the width in at least one direction is equal to or less than the width of the stored device in the direction. Yes, and has a window in the area facing the body temperature sensor,
When the garment is worn on a human body, the thickness of the fabric forming the storage part, which is on the human body side, is equal to or less than the height of the body temperature sensor from the surface of the housing.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it consists of the coating | coated part attached to a part of the main-body part of the clothing worn on the human body in the state which touched the skin directly, and the area | region which opposes this, and measures skin temperature. A storage unit in which a device having a body temperature sensor is stored has a first window in a region facing the body temperature sensor, and the body temperature sensor is disposed on a surface of a housing of the device. When the clothing is worn on the human body, it is configured to protrude more than the thickness of the fabric that will be on the human body side. Direct contact makes it possible for the user to accurately measure body temperature without complicated work.

  When the first window also serves as a storage port for storing the device in the storage section, it is not necessary to separately provide the first window in addition to the storage port.

  When the device has an external temperature sensor that measures the external temperature of the device, and when the external temperature sensor is held at a position recessed from the surface of the housing of the device, the external temperature sensor contacts the clothing. This prevents the external temperature of the device from being measured incorrectly due to the frictional heat generated by the operation.

  When the device has an external temperature sensor that measures the external temperature of the device, and when the storage unit has the second window in a region facing the external temperature sensor, the external temperature sensor contacts the clothing.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a body temperature measuring device used in a first embodiment of a clothing equipped with a body temperature measuring device according to the present invention, wherein (a) and (b) are external perspective views, and (c) is ( It is AA 'sectional drawing shown to a).

  As shown in FIG. 1, the body temperature measuring device in this example is configured such that a control board 15 is built in a housing 11.

  The housing 11 is a thin type made of, for example, resin, and has one surface as a human body-side surface 11a and the other surface as an external surface 11b.

  The control board 15 has a body temperature sensor 12 for measuring skin temperature on one surface, and an external temperature sensor 13 for measuring the external temperature of the body temperature measurement device 10 on the other surface. Has been implemented. The control board 15 is attached to the housing 11 by fixing means (not shown) such as screws, so that the body temperature sensor 12 and the external temperature sensor 13 are held by the housing 11. Note that the external temperature sensor 13 measures the ambient temperature in order to accurately specify the body temperature. By executing Fourier processing using the skin temperature measured by the body temperature sensor 12 and the external temperature of the body temperature measuring device 10 measured by the external temperature sensor 13, the body temperature can be accurately specified. . The control board 15 includes, in addition to the body temperature sensor 12 and the external temperature sensor 13, a temperature measurement timing of the body temperature sensor 12 and the external temperature sensor 13, a processing circuit for controlling communication with an external device, An IC chip or the like (not shown) having a memory for storing the temperature measured by the body temperature sensor 12 or the external temperature sensor 13 is mounted. As the body temperature sensor 12 and the external temperature sensor 13, for example, those in which a temperature measuring element such as a thermistor is fixed to a distal end portion in a cylindrical container made of stainless steel can be used.

  On the human body side surface 11a side of the housing 11, a sensor hole 14a is formed in a region facing the body temperature sensor 12, and the tip of the body temperature sensor 12 is exposed through the sensor hole 14a. The part protrudes from the human body side surface 11a. On the other hand, a sensor hole 14b is formed in a region facing the external temperature sensor 13 on the external surface 11b side of the housing 11, and the external temperature sensor 13 is recessed from the external surface 11b at the sensor hole 14b. It is exposed at the right position. If the depth of the recess from the outer surface 11b of the external temperature sensor 13 is set to be equal to or less than the thickness of the housing 11, it is possible to prevent foreign matter such as dust from entering the housing 11.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of clothing used in the first embodiment of the clothing equipped with a body temperature measurement device according to the present invention, wherein (a) is a view seen from a side opposite to a wearing surface worn on a human body. (B) is a diagram viewed from the side of a wearing surface worn on a human body, and (c) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ shown in (a).

  The clothing in this example is an underwear 20 worn on the human body in direct contact with the skin, and as shown in FIG. 2, the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. The storage unit 22 is configured to have The fabric of the main body 21 may have elasticity or may not have elasticity.

  The storage section 22 is provided at the lower central portion of the main body section 21 and is configured by being stitched and attached to a surface worn on the human body in a state where two covering sections 23a and 23b are overlapped. . As a result, the storage section 22 is composed of the covering sections 23a and 23b and a region facing the covering sections 23a and 23b of the main body section 21, of which the covering sections 23a and 23b and the underwear 20 are worn on the human body. In this case, the surface of the storage section 22 on the human body side is configured. The two covering portions 23a and 23b are made of stretchable fabric, are arranged side by side so that one side is in contact with each other, and three sides other than the contacting side are sewn to the main body 21 respectively. Is attached to the main body 21. Since the side that is in contact is not sewn to the main body 21, the space between the sides forms a storage port 24 for storing the body temperature measurement device 10 in the storage 22. The size of the covering portions 23a and 23b is such that the body temperature sensor 12 faces the storage port 24 when the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. For example, when the body temperature sensor 12 is exposed at the center of the housing 11 of the body temperature measuring device 10, the covering portions 23a and 23b have the same shape as each other, so that the body temperature measuring device 10 is housed in the housing portion 22. Then, the body temperature sensor 12 faces the storage port 24.

  Hereinafter, the clothing equipped with the body temperature measuring device in which the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. 1 is worn on the underwear 20 shown in FIG. 2 will be described.

  First, a method of attaching the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. 1 to the underwear 20 shown in FIG. 2 and a wearing state will be described.

  FIGS. 3A and 3B are diagrams for explaining a method of attaching the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. 1 to the underwear 20 shown in FIG. 2 and a state of attachment. FIG. 4C is a diagram for comparing the size with the storage unit 22, FIG. 4C is a diagram illustrating a state in which the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage unit 22, and FIG. 4D is a diagram illustrating how the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage unit 22. It is a figure which shows the state performed.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the body temperature measuring device 10 and the storage section 22 of the underwear 20 have a width W2 in the direction in which the covering sections 23a and 23b of the storage section 22 are arranged, and a body temperature measurement. When the width of the body temperature measurement device 10 in the same direction when the device 10 is stored in the storage portion 22 is W1, W2 is narrower than W1.

  When the body temperature measuring device 10 is stored in the storage unit 22 configured as described above, the storage port 24 is formed between the sides of the covering units 23a and 23b that contact each other, as shown in FIG. Next, the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored through the storage port 24. At this time, the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage portion 22 in such a direction that the human body side surface 11a of the body temperature measurement device 10 comes into contact with the covering portions 23a and 23b.

  First, the body temperature measurement device 10 is inserted into the storage opening 24 of the storage section 22 from the first side, which is one side of the body temperature measurement device 10, and the body temperature measurement device 10 is placed so that the covering portion 23 b covers the first side of the body temperature measurement device 10. 10 are stored in the storage section 22. Thereafter, the covering portion 23a is turned up to cover the region on the second side facing the first side of the body temperature measuring device 10 so as to cover the region.

  Then, as described above, the covering portions 23a and 23b are made of stretchable cloth, and the width W2 of the storage portion 22 in the direction in which the coating portions 23a and 23b are arranged is determined by the body temperature measurement device 10 and the storage portion 22. 3D, the storage port 24 is opened to form the first window 25, as shown in FIG. 3D. Become.

  As described above, the storage port 24 faces the body temperature sensor 12 when the body temperature measuring device 10 is stored in the storage section 22, and thus faces the body temperature sensor 12 of the storage section 22. The configuration is such that the window 25 is provided in the area, and the body temperature sensor 12 is exposed from the window 25.

  As described above, since the window 25 exposed by the body temperature sensor 12 also serves as the storage port 24 for storing the body temperature measurement device 10 in the storage unit 22, the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage unit 22. In this case, it is not necessary to provide a window 25 for exposing the body temperature sensor 12 separately from the storage port 24.

  Also, at this time, the covering portions 23a and 23b are made of stretchable cloth, and the width W2 of the storage portion 22 in the direction in which the coating portions 23a and 23b are arranged is such that the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage portion 22. When the body temperature measuring device 10 is narrower than the width W1 of the body temperature measuring device 10 in the same direction, the housing portion 22 is in a swelling state, and the restoring force due to the elasticity of the covering portions 23a and 23b causes the body temperature measuring device 10 to be in The body temperature measurement device 10 is firmly held, and it is difficult for the body temperature measurement device 10 to drop out of the storage section 22. Further, as described above, in order to securely hold the body temperature measuring device 10 in the storage portion 22, the width W2 of the storage portion 22 in the direction in which the covering portions 23a and 23b are arranged is determined by the body temperature measurement device 10 Although the body temperature measurement device 10 is narrower than the width W1 in the same direction when housed in the body, the body temperature measurement device 10 is housed because the covering portions 23a and 23b are made of stretchable cloth. It can be stored in the part 22 in a removable manner. In addition, the elasticity of the cloth of the covering portions 23a and 23b preferably has an elongation of 10% or more, but may be any as long as the body temperature measuring device 10 can be firmly held.

  Next, the operation and effect when the underwear 20 to which the body temperature measuring device 10 is mounted as described above is worn on a human body will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation and effect when the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. 1 is attached to the underwear 20 shown in FIG. 2 and the underwear 20 is worn on a human body. Is a diagram showing a state in which the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage portion 22 of the underwear 20, (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA 'shown in (a) when the underwear 20 is worn on a human body, and (c). () Is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB 'shown in (a) when the underwear 20 is worn on a human body.

  When the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage section 22 of the underwear 20, the body temperature sensor 12 is in a state of being exposed from the window 25 as shown in FIG.

  When the underwear 20 in which the body temperature measuring device 10 is stored in the storage unit 22 is worn on a human body in this manner, the covering portions 23a and 23b constituting the storage unit 22 are worn on the human body of the main body unit 21 as described above. 4 (b) and 4 (c), the body temperature sensor 12 faces the human skin 30 as shown in FIGS. 4 (b) and 4 (c). That is, the storage unit 22 stores the body temperature measuring device 10 in a direction in which the body temperature sensor 12 faces the human body when the underwear 20 is worn on the human body. At this time, as described above, the covering portions 23a and 23b are made of stretchable cloth, and the width W2 of the storage portion 22 in the direction in which the coating portions 23a and 23b are arranged is determined by the body temperature measurement device 10 When the body temperature measuring device 10 is housed in the housing, the width of the body temperature measuring device 10 is smaller than the width W1 in the same direction. , The body temperature measurement device 10 is securely held in the storage section 22. Thereby, the body temperature measuring device 10 does not move in the storage section 22, the body temperature sensor 12 comes into contact with a certain portion of the skin 30, and the temperature of the skin 30 at that portion is measured. The tip of the body temperature sensor 12 protrudes from the human body-side surface 11a of the housing 11, and the protruding height h is equal to or greater than the thickness t of the covering portions 23a and 23b. The sensor 12 comes into direct contact with the skin 30, and the temperature of the skin 30 is accurately measured. It is conceivable that the thickness t of the covering portions 23a and 23b is about half of the thickness of the cloth of the main body 21.

  As described above, the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. 1 is attached to the underwear 20 shown in FIG. 2, and the underwear 20 is simply worn on the human body. Of the body temperature measuring device 10 that is accurately measured without complicated work by the user, and the skin temperature and the external temperature sensor 13 are used. An accurate body temperature can be specified by the external temperature.

  In addition, when the external temperature sensor 13 contacts the underwear 20, the external temperature of the body temperature measuring device 10 cannot be accurately measured due to frictional heat generated thereby. However, in the body temperature measuring device 10 according to the present embodiment, as described above, since the external temperature sensor 13 is exposed at a position recessed from the external surface 11b of the housing 11, as shown in FIG. In addition, the external temperature sensor 13 does not come into contact with the underwear 20, thereby preventing the external temperature of the body temperature measuring device 10 from being measured incorrectly due to frictional heat.

  In the present embodiment, the width W2 of the storage section 22 in the direction in which the covering sections 23a and 23b are arranged is larger than the width W1 of the body temperature measurement device 10 in the same direction when the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage section 22. Although a narrower one has been described as an example, a configuration in which the width of the storage part 22 is narrower than the width of the body temperature measuring device 10 also in a direction orthogonal to these is also possible.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the two covering portions 23a and 23b constituting the storage portion 22 are arranged side by side so that one side thereof is in contact with each other, but a number of covering portions 23a and 23b are provided between the covering portions 23a and 23b. A configuration in which a gap of about millimeters is provided may be used. However, as described above, when the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage unit 22, the distance between the coating unit 23a and the coating unit 23b increases, so that the two coating units 23a and 23b The narrower the gap between them, the less likely it is that the body temperature measurement device 10 stored in the storage section 22 will fall off carelessly. In such a configuration, the portion constituting the storage portion of the main body 21 is not only strictly a region facing the covering portions 23a and 23b, but also a region facing the gap between the covering portions 23a and 23b. Although the storage section is configured, the storage section is defined as including the covering section and the region of the main body section facing the coating section, including such a form. In addition, the smaller the gap between the two covering portions 23a and 23b, the smaller the size of the window portion 25 formed by storing the body temperature measuring device 10 in the storing portion 22; The area where the body temperature measurement device 10 contacts the human body is reduced, which is preferable. Furthermore, if the length in the direction of arrangement of each of the two covering portions 23a and 23b constituting the storage unit 22 is such that the window portion 25 is formed when the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage unit 22. A configuration in which a part of the two covering portions 23a and 23b overlap may be adopted. The size and shape of the cloth of the covering parts 23a and 23b should be appropriately designed according to the size and weight of the body temperature measuring device 10 stored in the storage part 22, the elasticity of the cloth of the covering parts 23a and 23b, and the like. Can be.

(Second embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a view showing an example of clothing used in the second embodiment of the clothing equipped with a body temperature measuring device according to the present invention, and FIG. 5 (a) is a view seen from a side opposite to a wearing surface worn on a human body. (B) is a diagram viewed from the side of a wearing surface worn on a human body, and (c) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ shown in (a).

  As shown in FIG. 5, the clothing in this example is an undergarment 120 in which the shape of the storage section 122 is different from that shown in FIG.

  The storage portion 122 in this example is attached by sewing in a state where four covering portions 123a to 123d made of elastic fabric are superimposed on a surface worn on a human body at a lower central portion of the main body portion 21. It is configured. Thereby, the covering parts 123a to 123d constitute a surface on the human body side of the storage part 122 when the underwear 120 is worn on the human body. The four covering portions 123a to 123d are arranged so as to surround the first window portion 125 to form a “C” shape, and exclude one side of the covering portion 123a side from the outer periphery of the “C” shape. The three sides are attached to the main body 21 by being sewn to the main body 21, respectively. Since one side of the covering portion 123a is not sewn to the main body portion 21, an area along the side becomes a storage port 124 for storing the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. ing. In the present embodiment, the portion constituting the storage section of the main body 21 strictly faces not only the region facing the covering portions 123a to 123d, but also the window portion 125 surrounded by the covering portions 123a to 123d. Although the area also constitutes the storage section, it is defined that the storage section is constituted by the covering section and the area of the main body section facing the covering section, including such a form. The size of the covering portions 123a to 123d is such that the body temperature sensor 12 faces the window 125 when the body temperature measuring device 10 is stored in the storage portion 122. For example, when the body temperature sensor 12 is exposed at the center of the housing 11 of the body temperature measurement device 10, the covering portions 123a to 123d have the same shape as each other, so that the window portion 125 is located at the center of the storage portion 122. The body temperature sensor 12 faces the window 125 when the body temperature measurement device 10 is arranged and stored in the storage unit 122.

  Hereinafter, the clothing equipped with the body temperature measurement device in which the body temperature measurement device 10 shown in FIG. 1 is attached to the underwear 120 shown in FIG. 5 will be described.

  First, a method of attaching the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. 1 to the underwear 120 shown in FIG. 5 and a wearing state will be described.

  FIGS. 6A and 6B are diagrams for explaining a method of attaching the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. 1 to the underwear 120 shown in FIG. 5 and a state of wearing the underwear 120. FIGS. FIG. 4C is a diagram for comparing the size with the storage unit 122, FIG. 4C is a diagram illustrating a state in which the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage unit 122, and FIG. 4D is a diagram illustrating how the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage unit 122. It is a figure which shows the state performed.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the body temperature measuring device 10 and the storage section 122 of the underwear 120 have the vertical and horizontal widths of the body temperature measuring device 10 as W 1 and W 3, respectively. When the width of the storage portion 122 in the same direction when stored in the storage portion 122 is W2 and W4, W2 is narrower than W1 and W4 is narrower than W3. That is, the width of the storage section 122 in the vertical and horizontal directions is smaller than the width of the body temperature measuring device 10 in the vertical and horizontal directions.

  When the body temperature measuring device 10 is stored in the storage unit 122 configured as described above, one side of the storage unit 122 on the side of the covering unit 123a serves as the storage port 124, as shown in FIG. Then, the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored from the storage opening 124. At this time, the body temperature measuring device 10 is housed in the housing 122 in such a direction that the human body side surface 11a of the body temperature measuring device 10 comes into contact with the covering portions 123a to 123d.

  As described above, the size of the covering portions 123a to 123d is such that the body temperature sensor 12 faces the window 125 when the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. Therefore, when the body temperature measuring device 10 is stored in the storage section 122, the body temperature sensor 12 faces the window section 125 and is exposed from the window section 125, as shown in FIG. Become.

  Also, at this time, the covering portions 123a to 123d are made of stretchable cloth, and the storage when the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage portion 122 is larger than the width W1 and W3 of the body temperature measurement device 10. Since the width of the portion 122 in the same direction is narrower in each of W2 and W4, the storage portion 122 is in a swelling state, and the restoring force due to the elasticity of the covering portions 123a to 123d allows the body temperature measurement device 10 to be securely held in the storage portion 122. Is held. Accordingly, although one side of the storage portion 122 on the side of the covering portion 123a serves as the storage port 124, the body temperature measurement device 10 does not easily fall off from the storage port 124. Further, as described above, in order to securely hold the body temperature measurement device 10 in the storage section 122, the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage section 122 more than the widths W1 and W3 of the body temperature measurement device 10 in length and width. Although the widths W2 and W4 of the storage unit 122 in the same direction are narrow at the time of the storage, the covering units 123a to 123d are made of elastic cloth, so that the body temperature measurement device 10 can be stored in the storage unit 122. Can be stored in a removable manner.

  Next, the operation and effect when the underwear 120 to which the body temperature measuring device 10 is mounted as described above is worn on a human body will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the operation and effect when the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. 1 is attached to the underwear 120 shown in FIG. 5 and the underwear 120 is worn on a human body. Is a diagram showing a state in which the body temperature measuring device 10 is stored in the storage portion 122 of the underwear 120, (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA 'shown in (a) when the underwear 120 is worn on a human body, and (c). () Is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB 'shown in (a) when the underwear 120 is worn on a human body.

  When the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage section 122 of the underwear 120, the body temperature sensor 12 is exposed from the window 125 as shown in FIG.

  When the underwear 120 in which the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage section 122 is worn on a human body in this manner, the covering sections 123a to 123d constituting the storage section 122 are sewn to the surface of the main body 21 to be worn on the human body. As shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, the body temperature sensor 12 faces the skin 30 of the human body. That is, when the underwear 120 is worn on the human body, the storage unit 122 stores the body temperature measuring device 10 in a direction in which the body temperature sensor 12 faces the human body. At this time, as described above, the covering portions 123a to 123d are made of elastic cloth, and the body temperature measurement device 10 is stored in the storage portion 122 more than the widths W1 and W3 of the body temperature measurement device 10. Since the widths W2 and W4 of the storage section 122 in the same direction when the storage section 122 is narrow, respectively, the storage section 122 is in a swelling state, and the cover sections 123a to 123d as shown by arrows in FIGS. The body temperature measuring device 10 is firmly held in the storage section 122 by the restoring force due to the elasticity. Accordingly, the body temperature measurement device 10 does not move in the storage section 122, and the body temperature sensor 12 contacts a certain portion of the skin 30, and the temperature of the skin 30 at that portion is measured. The tip of the body temperature sensor 12 protrudes from the human body-side surface 11a of the housing 11, but the protruding height h is equal to or greater than the thickness t of the covering portions 123a to 123d. The sensor 12 comes into direct contact with the skin 30, and the temperature of the skin 30 is accurately measured.

  Thus, the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. 1 is attached to the underwear 120 shown in FIG. 5, and the underwear 120 is simply worn on the human body, and the body temperature sensor 12 provided in the body temperature measuring device 10 Of the body temperature measuring device 10 that is accurately measured without complicated work by the user, and the skin temperature and the external temperature sensor 13 are used. An accurate body temperature can be specified by the external temperature.

  Also in this embodiment, since the external temperature sensor 13 is exposed at a position recessed from the external surface 11b of the housing 11, the external temperature sensor 13 is attached to the underwear 120 as shown in FIG. The external temperature of the body temperature measuring device 10 can be accurately measured without contacting the main body 21.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the width of each of the storage portions 122 in the vertical and horizontal directions is smaller than the width of each of the body temperature measuring devices 10 in the vertical and horizontal directions, which is different from that shown in the first embodiment. The body temperature measurement device 10 is firmly held in the storage section 122 in the vertical and horizontal directions by the covering portions 123a to 123d, thereby reliably avoiding the vertical and horizontal movement of the body temperature measurement device 10 in the storage section 122. . As described above, when the storage section 122 is rectangular, it is preferable that the width between the opposing sides is smaller than the width of the body temperature measurement device. Furthermore, if the body temperature measurement device is narrower in width in all directions, not just in two directions between the opposing sides, the movement of the body temperature measurement device in the storage unit in all directions is reliably avoided. Will be done.

  In addition, in the storage part 122 in this embodiment, the four covering parts 123a to 123d are arranged so as to surround the window 125 and form a letter "B". The window may be arranged so as to surround the window so that the window has a shape of “○” or “☆”. It is also conceivable to have a configuration that has a lid that covers the storage port 124. In this case, the body temperature measurement device 10 is more difficult to fall off from the storage port 124. In such a configuration, it is conceivable that the outer shape of the storage section may have a shape of “「 ”or“ ☆ ”. By being narrower than the width in the direction, movement in the vertical and horizontal directions in the storage section of the body temperature measurement device is reliably avoided, and further, the width in all directions is smaller in the body temperature measurement device than in the storage section. This ensures that the body temperature measurement device is prevented from moving in all directions in the storage section. In this case, from the viewpoint of reliably avoiding the movement of the body temperature measuring device in the storage section, it is preferable that the shape of the body temperature measurement device be "O" or "☆" in accordance with the shape of the storage section.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the operation and effect when the body temperature measuring device 210 shown in FIG. 8 is attached to the underwear 220 shown in FIG. 9 and the underwear 220 is worn on a human body. FIG. 2B is a view of the state in which the body temperature measurement device 210 is stored in the storage section 222 of the underwear 220 as viewed from the side where the underwear 220 is worn on the human body, and FIG. FIG. 4C is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ shown in FIG. 5A when the underwear 220 is worn on a human body when the underwear 220 is worn on the human body. (D) is a sectional view taken along the line BB 'shown in (a) when the underwear 220 is worn on a human body.

  When the body temperature measuring device 210 is stored in the storage section 222 of the underwear 220, the body temperature sensor 12 is moved from the window 25 as shown in FIG. It will be in a state of being exposed. Further, the window 226 provided in the storage section 222 of the underwear 220 is provided in a region facing the external temperature sensor 213 when the body temperature measurement device 210 is stored in the storage section 222, so that the body temperature measurement device is provided. When the 210 is stored in the storage section 222 of the underwear 220, the external temperature sensor 213 is exposed from the window 226 as shown in FIG.

  When the underwear 220 in which the body temperature measuring device 210 is stored in the storage part 222 is worn on a human body in this way, the covering parts 23a and 23b constituting the storage part 222 are sutured to the surface of the main body part 21 worn on the human body. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 10C and 10D, the body temperature sensor 12 faces the skin 30 of the human body. At this time, the covering portions 23a and 23b are made of elastic cloth, and the width of the storage portion 222 in the direction in which the coating portions 23a and 23b are arranged is the same as when the body temperature measurement device 210 is stored in the storage portion 222. Since the width is equal to the width of the body temperature measuring device 210 in the same direction, the storage portion 222 is in a state of being expanded by the thickness of the body temperature measuring device 210, and the covering portion 23a as shown by an arrow in FIG. , 23b, the body temperature measuring device 210 is firmly held in the storage part 222 by the restoring force. Thereby, the body temperature measuring device 210 does not move in the storage section 222, the body temperature sensor 12 comes into contact with a certain portion of the skin 30, and the temperature of the skin 30 at that portion is measured. The tip of the body temperature sensor 12 protrudes from the human body-side surface 11a of the housing 11, and the protruding height h is equal to or greater than the thickness t of the covering portions 23a and 23b. The sensor 12 comes into direct contact with the skin 30, and the temperature of the skin 30 is accurately measured. Further, as described above, in order to securely hold the body temperature measuring device 210 in the storage section 222, the width of the storage section 222 in the direction in which the covering portions 23a and 23b are arranged is such that the body temperature measurement device 210 Although the width of the body temperature measuring device 210 when stored is the same as the width in the same direction, since the covering portions 23a and 23b are made of elastic cloth, the body temperature measuring device 210 can be stored in the storage portion 222. Can be stored in a removable manner.

  As described above, the body temperature measuring device 210 shown in FIG. 8 is attached to the underwear 220 shown in FIG.

An accurate body temperature can be specified by the external temperature.

  Further, since the external temperature sensor 213 faces the window 226 of the underwear 220, the external temperature sensor 213 does not contact the main body 21 of the underwear 220 as shown in FIG. It is avoided that the external temperature of the device 210 is not accurately measured due to frictional heat.

  In the above-described embodiment, the storage sections 22, 122, and 222 are provided in the lower central portion of the main body 21, but the area where the storage section is provided is not limited to this.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the storage portion is configured by attaching the covering portion to the surface worn on the human body of the underwear, but on the surface opposite to the surface worn on the human body of the underwear. The storage section may be configured by attaching the covering section. In that case, by providing a storage port for storing the body temperature measurement device in the storage section or providing a cut in the area facing the covering section, when the body temperature measurement device is stored in the storage section, it faces the human body. The window portion is formed on the surface to be formed. In such a configuration, if a storage port is provided on the covering portion side, there is also an advantage that the body temperature measuring device can be easily stored in the storage portion with the underwear attached. In this case as well, it is necessary that the thickness of the cloth constituting the storage part, which is on the human body side when the garment is worn on the human body, is not more than the height from the surface of the body temperature sensor housing. Therefore, the height of the body temperature sensor from the surface of the housing needs to be equal to or greater than the thickness of the cloth of at least a portion of the main body facing the covering portion. Since the main body needs to have a certain strength, it is not preferable to make the cloth of the entire main body extremely thin. Therefore, it is conceivable that the height of the body temperature sensor from the surface of the housing is higher than that shown in the above-described embodiment. Alternatively, the body temperature measuring device may be configured such that the housing is configured such that the covering portion is attached to the surface worn on the human body of the underwear, and the surface opposite to the surface worn on the human body of the underwear is covered. If it is not possible to change the height of the body temperature sensor from the housing surface so that it can be used commonly with the one configured by attaching the part, for example, the part of the main body part facing the covering part It is conceivable to reduce the thickness of the dough.
