The temperature sensor 2 is connected to a microprocessor 3 for measurement control as shown in FIG. 2, and supplies a detection output of a body temperature to the microprocessor 3.

A housing 5 for a driving battery 4 for supplying a driving power to an electronic circuit such as the microprocessor 3 is formed at the other end of the main body 1. This storage unit 5
It is closed by a lid 6 detachably screwed. A holder clip 7 is provided at the other end of the main body 1.

The main body 1 is provided with a liquid crystal display section 8 at a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction. Further, two operation switches 9A and 9B are provided at an intermediate portion between the liquid crystal display section 8 and the storage section 4.
Are arranged. The liquid crystal display unit 7 is connected to the microprocessor 3, and the display is controlled by the microprocessor 3. The two operation switches 9A and 9B are also connected to the microprocessor 3. One operation switch 9A gives a start instruction signal of a blood pressure measurement mode to the microprocessor 3, and the other operation switch 9B gives a command signal to start the body temperature measurement mode to the microprocessor 3.

An opening 10 is formed in the main body 1 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction at an intermediate portion between the temperature sensor section 2 and the liquid crystal display section 8, and as shown in FIG. Rubber tube so as to surround the finger 11 inserted into the opening 10
There are twelve. The rubber tube 12 functions as pressurizing operation means for controlling the blood flow by applying pressure from the outside to the finger 11 inserted into the opening 4, and is electrically driven by the microprocessor 3. Pressure pump
Pressurized by sending compressed air from 13,
The pressure is reduced by exhausting the compressed air through the exhaust valve 14, and the pressurized pressure is detected by the pressure sensor 15.
The pressure sensor 15 is connected to the microprocessor 3 and supplies the microprocessor 3 with a blood pressure detection output. Further, one light emitting element 16 and two light receiving elements 17A and 17B are arranged on the inner peripheral edge of the rubber tube 12. The light emitting element 16 and each light receiving element 17A, 17
B detects the transmitted light of the finger 11 of the light emitted by the light emitting element 14 with the light receiving elements 17A and 17B, thereby the finger 1
It functions as pulse wave detecting means for optically detecting the pulse wave in 1. The light emitting element 16 and each light receiving element 17A, 17B,
It is connected to the microprocessor 3 and supplies a pulse wave detection output to the microprocessor 3.

In the electronic health meter having such a configuration, when the microprocessor 3 receives a start instruction signal of the blood pressure measurement mode by operating the operation switch 9A, the microprocessor 3 is activated.
The control operation in the blood pressure measurement mode is performed according to the procedure of the flowchart shown in FIG.

That is, when the blood pressure measurement mode is set, the microprocessor 3 first performs initialization in a first step, and then sets the liquid crystal display section 8 to an all-points display state in a second step, and sets a piezoelectric (not shown). The buzzer is driven to emit a warning sound to start the measurement, and the display on the liquid crystal display unit 8 is set to "0" in a third step.

In the next fourth step, the electric pressurizing pump 13 is driven to pressurize the rubber tube 12 while monitoring the detection output of the pulse wave by the pulse wave detecting means (each light receiving element 17A, 17B), When the detection output of the pulse wave disappears, the driving of the electric pressurizing pump 13 is stopped, and the process proceeds to the next fifth step to measure the blood pressure.

In the fifth step, the exhaust valve 14 is opened,
While the pressure in the rubber tube 12 is reduced, the detection output of the pulse wave and the detection output of the pressure by the pressure sensor 15 are monitored to measure the systolic blood pressure, the diastolic blood pressure, and the pulse rate.

In the next sixth step, the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate measured in the fifth step are alternately displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 8.

Then, in the seventh step, the rubber tube 12 is evacuated, and the control operation in the measurement mode ends. If the start command signal of the blood pressure measurement mode is not given again by operating the operation switch 9A, the power is automatically shut off one minute after the display operation of the sixth step is started.

Further, in this electronic health meter, when a start instruction signal of the body temperature measurement mode is given by operating the operation switch 9B, the microprocessor 3 performs a control operation in the body temperature measurement mode according to the procedure of the flowchart shown in FIG. .

That is, when the body temperature measurement mode is set, the microprocessor 3 first performs initialization in a first step, then sets the liquid crystal display unit 8 to an all-point display state in a second step, and sets a piezoelectric (not shown). The buzzer is driven to emit a warning sound to open the measurement, and the display on the liquid crystal display unit 8 is set to "0" in the third step.

In the next fourth step, the detection output of the body temperature by the temperature sensor unit 2 is monitored, and when the temperature rise is eliminated, the next fifth step is performed.
Move to step.

In the fifth step, the measured value of the body temperature is stored in a memory (not shown) based on the detection output of the body temperature by the temperature sensor 2.

In the next sixth step, a determination process is performed to determine whether or not blood pressure measurement is being performed. If blood pressure measurement is being performed, the process waits for the end and proceeds to the next seventh step.

In the seventh step, the measured temperature value stored in the memory in the fifth step is read out and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 8.

In this body temperature measurement mode, the operation switch 9B
The power supply is shut off by the re-operation of, and the power supply is automatically shut off two minutes after the start of the display operation in the seventh step.

That is, the electronic health meter of this embodiment switches the operation of the microprocessor 3 between the blood pressure measurement mode and the body temperature measurement mode by selectively operating the operation switches 9A and 9B, and performs the blood pressure measurement and the body temperature measurement. It can be carried out. Moreover, this electronic health meter has various sensors 2, 1 required for the above-mentioned blood pressure measurement and body temperature measurement on the cylindrical main body 1.
