The dimension of becomes smaller. For this reason, the numerical values and characters displayed on the liquid crystal panel 51 are reduced. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the user to read numerical values and characters. Further, assuming that the dimensions of the apparatus body 10 in the width direction ZA and the depth direction ZB can be changed, the dimensions of the liquid crystal panel 51 in the width direction ZA and the depth direction ZB are maintained, and a space for the antenna 70 is secured. . For this reason, the dimension of the width direction ZA of the apparatus main body 10 and the depth direction ZB becomes large.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, in the biological information measuring apparatus 1, the antenna 70 is located in a portion of the main body housing 30 that overlaps the liquid crystal panel 51 indicated by the two-dot chain line in the figure in the height direction ZC. Specifically, the antenna 70 overlaps from the left front end portion of the liquid crystal panel 51 to the left middle portion. For this reason, in order to ensure the space for the antenna 70, it is not necessary to reduce the dimension of the liquid crystal panel 51 in the width direction ZA and the depth direction ZB. Further, it is not necessary to increase the dimensions of the apparatus body 10 in the width direction ZA and the depth direction ZB. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve both the securing of the dimension in the planar direction of the liquid crystal panel 51 and the suppression of the enlargement of the apparatus main body 10.

  Further, the antenna 70 is located in a portion of the main body housing 30 that does not overlap with the electric pump 91 and the electromagnetic valve 92 in the height direction ZC. Specifically, the antenna 70 is located in the left direction ZA2 of the main body housing 30 with respect to the electric pump 91 and the electromagnetic valve 92. More specifically, the antenna 70 is located in a region (second housing portion 32) sandwiched in the width direction ZA by the battery DC, the electric pump 91, and the electromagnetic valve 92 in the main body housing 30. In addition, the antenna 70 is positioned closer to the battery DC than the electric pump 91 and the electromagnetic valve 92 in the second housing portion 32. For this reason, the magnetic flux generated around the antenna pattern 72 of the antenna 70 hardly flows to the case 91C of the electric pump 91 and the case 92A of the electromagnetic valve 92 (both see FIG. 4).

  The antenna 70 is attached to the surface of the main substrate 61 on the liquid crystal panel 51 side. For this reason, the upper surface of the antenna 70, that is, the upper surface of the antenna pattern 72 is located on the upper side ZC 1 side with respect to the upper surface of the main substrate 61. For this reason, the distance between the antenna 70 and the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel 51 is smaller than the distance between the main substrate 61 and the upper surface of the liquid crystal panel 51. Therefore, the distance between the antenna 70 and the upper surface of the liquid crystal cover 21 (see FIG. 7) is smaller than the distance between the main substrate 61 and the upper surface of the liquid crystal cover 21. Therefore, compared to the configuration in which the antenna pattern 72 is assumed to be formed on the main board 61, the biological information measuring device 1 and the mobile phone 2 (see FIG. 5) can communicate with each other in the upward direction ZC1 with respect to the liquid crystal cover 21. The distance of the mobile phone 2 on the side increases.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the main body housing 30 has a protruding shape in which the bottom wall 34 protrudes in the downward direction ZC2 in the first housing portion 31, and the bottom wall 34 faces in the upward direction ZC1 in the second housing portion 32. And has a concave shape. Thereby, the bottom wall 34 is formed in a shape along the wrist of the user. In addition, the distance between the bottom wall 34 and the liquid crystal panel 51 in the first housing portion 31 (hereinafter referred to as “first distance D1”) is the distance between the bottom wall 34 and the liquid crystal panel 51 in the second housing portion 32 (hereinafter, referred to as “first distance D1”). Greater than “second distance D2”) (D1> D2). For this reason, the 1st accommodating part 31 can accommodate components with the dimension of the height direction ZC larger than the dimension of the height direction ZC of the side wall 35 (refer FIG. 3) corresponding to the 2nd accommodating part 32. FIG.

  Therefore, the biological information measuring apparatus 1 accommodates the electric pump 91, the electromagnetic valve 92, and the pipe 93 (both see FIG. 4) having a dimension in the height direction ZC larger than that of the main board 61 and the antenna board 71.

  On the other hand, it is preferable that the second accommodating portion 32 accommodates components accommodated in the first accommodating portion 31, that is, components having a dimension in the height direction ZC smaller than that of the electric pump 91 and the electromagnetic valve 92. Moreover, it is preferable that the 2nd accommodating part 32 accommodates components with the dimension of the height direction ZC smaller than the battery DC accommodated in the 3rd accommodating part 33. FIG.

  Therefore, the biological information measuring apparatus 1 accommodates the electric pump 91, the electromagnetic valve 92, and the main board 61 and the antenna 70 (see FIG. 4) whose dimensions in the height direction ZC are smaller than the battery DC in the second accommodation portion 32. . In this manner, component placement that effectively utilizes the shape of the main body housing 30 is possible. For this reason, since it is suppressed that the distance from the bottom wall 34 to the liquid crystal panel 51 becomes large, it is suppressed that the apparatus main body 10 enlarges to the height direction ZC.

  In addition, the main substrate 61 and the antenna 70 are accommodated in the second accommodation portion 32 having the second distance D2 smaller than the first distance D1 of the first accommodation portion 31. According to this configuration, the apparatus main body 10 is prevented from being enlarged in the height direction ZC as compared with the configuration in which the battery DC or the electric pump 91 and the electromagnetic valve 92 are assumed to be stored in the second storage portion 32. Is done.

  (6) The biological information measuring apparatus 1 has a configuration in which the switch substrate 86 is positioned on the upper surface of the main substrate 61 and is disposed at a position overlapping the main substrate 61 in the height direction ZC. According to this configuration, the dimension in the depth direction ZB of the apparatus main body 10 is smaller than the configuration in which the switch substrate 86 is assumed not to overlap the main substrate 61 in the height direction ZC. Therefore, the increase in the depth direction ZB of the biological information measuring apparatus 1 is suppressed.

  (7) The biological information measuring apparatus 1 has a configuration in which the second support portion 36B of the pump support structure 36 and the first holding portion 39A of the substrate support structure 39 are integrally formed in the main body housing 30. According to this configuration, the second support portion 36B and the first holding portion 39A are individually molded, and compared with the configuration assumed that the first holding portion 39A is located on the left side ZA2 side with respect to the second support portion 36B. The dimension of the main body housing 30 in the width direction ZA is reduced. Therefore, the enlargement of the biological information measuring device 1 in the width direction ZA is suppressed.
