Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application fields] The present invention relates to health equipment for maintaining health.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, medical devices such as thermometers, blood pressure monitors, and pulse monitors have each had independent functions. In addition, the measurement data was taken at a certain moment, or every (short time) average value, or the highest and lowest values.Therefore, in order to know changes in body temperature, etc., it was necessary to measure continuously, patiently, and accurately. = However, body temperature values often changed.

Furthermore, it is necessary to write down the read data, which increases the possibility of misreading or erroneous entries.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] With these conventional single-function measuring instruments, it has been difficult to store measured values, perform periodic interval measurements, stable measurements, and even print out measured values. Furthermore, it was difficult to simultaneously measure multiple items such as body temperature and blood pressure.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the present invention, 1) a plurality of sensors are installed to make it possible to measure three types of body temperature, blood pressure, and pulse; 2) measurement values are 3) Install a CPU to enable simultaneous processing of data from multiple sensors; 4) Separate the measurement section and control section. It transmits and receives data wirelessly, and the control unit is equipped with a printer. 5) The control unit can set numerical values for each measurement item, and if the set value is exceeded, an abnormality is notified by a buzzer or a printout. 6) The joint between the case and the lid of the measurement section is characterized by a waterproof structure using rubber gaskets, etc.

[Function] By adopting the configuration described above, multiple measurements can be made at the same time.
The data can be stored in memory. Furthermore, it is also possible to take out data while the measurement unit is set on the specimen, or to continue measurements at regular intervals. In addition, if the value set for each measurement item is exceeded, an abnormality can be notified by a buzzer or print alert. Furthermore, the waterproof structure prevents malfunctions due to sweat, etc.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an example shown in five drawings.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are block diagrams showing the configuration of a measuring section and a control section of the present invention. The CPU 1 receives a program written in the ROM 2 into the 0PU 1 in response to a command from the operation panel 10 or the control section, and performs operations such as measurement 2 display and transmission according to the program. Sensors 5, 6.7 are sensors for detecting body temperature, blood pressure, and pulse, respectively. 0PU1
has the function of processing the signals from each sensor, displaying the results on the display 4, storing them in the memory 3, and controlling the transmitting section 9 to transmit them to the control section.

The control unit in FIG. 2 is centered around 0PU11 and displays 12. Printer 17. Transmission unit 14. It is composed of a receiving section 13 and the like, and has a function of controlling the measuring section. The control unit can send commands to the measurement unit through the transmission unit 14 to instruct the measurement unit to start or end measurement, send data, etc.

FIG. 3 shows a side sectional view of a watch type measuring section according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Watch-like case 2
0PU 22 including ROM and RAM and transmitter 25. Receiving section 24. Barateri 26. It has a built-in display 27. At the bottom of the case 28 is a body temperature sensor 19. Blood pressure sensor 20. A pulse sensor 21 is arranged. The measurement surface on which each of the above-mentioned sensors is arranged is a gently convex or concave surface, or a flat surface. At both ends of the case 28, flexible bands 29 are attached to the case 2 for fixing the measuring section to the arm, etc.
It is provided either integrally with 8 or separately. Furthermore, the flexible band 290 is made detachable by providing Velcro tapes 30, 31, etc. at both ends thereof.

The start and end of measurement and data transfer are performed using the S provided in the measurement unit main body.
This is done by operating the T/SP button 32 or the liquid crystal panel of the display 27. These can also be automatically executed by a program built into the ROM.

FIG. 5 shows a side sectional view of a clip type device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the case 43 is formed into a lip shape that looks like a hiragana character ``'' pressed up and down.
．． Display 45, transmitter/receiver 47. A battery 48 is installed, and various sensors 40, 41, 42 are installed on the outer surface of the opposite side.
was installed. The sensor placement surface is a gently convex, concave, or flat surface as in the first embodiment.
/SP button 49 and manual transmission button 50 can be placed in the recessed part on the side to prevent malfunctions.According to this embodiment, the springiness of the spring portion 43α of the case 43 makes it easy to put on clothes, etc. It can be attached to.

FIG. 7 shows a side sectional view of a plain type device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the case 63 is formed into a planar shape. A display 65 is placed on one side of the plane.
On the other side, various sensors 60°61.62 are installed, and an opU64.64 including memory is installed between them. Transmitting/receiving section 67, battery 6
By having a simple shape with 8 arranged, it can be easily attached anywhere with tape or the like. Furthermore, although not shown, the joint between the battery 68 lid and the case 66, the operation button section, the periphery of the cover 66, etc. are sealed with rubber gaskets to prevent them.

In this embodiment, the upper part of the ring-shaped case 83 includes a memory 0Pt7aa# transmitting/receiving section 87. Battery 88. A display 85 was arranged, and various sensors 80, 8182 were installed inside the lower part. According to this embodiment, preparation for measurement is completed simply by placing the ring-shaped measurement part on the finger. Therefore, preparation can be done quickly and easily. Further, although not shown in the drawings, it is possible to adjust the case 85 to the size of the finger by making a part of the case 85 freely extensible or imparting spring properties.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention enables simultaneous measurement of body temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate, etc., which were conventionally measured individually. Furthermore, by separating the measuring section and the control section, the measuring section has become smaller and lighter. In addition, measurements and data transfer are possible using signals from the control unit, so measurements can be taken while in motion or continuously over long periods of time.

Regular measurements can be easily performed. Furthermore, since measurements and readings can be performed without attaching or detaching the measuring section, the reliability of measurements is improved. Furthermore, by providing the control section with a memory 1B and a printer 17, data storage and output can be performed reliably and easily. Furthermore, since a single control section can control a plurality of measuring sections, it is possible to measure a plurality of specimens simultaneously. It has many effects and advantages such as.
