本発明は、一般的な体温測定、婦人の基礎体温
の測定及び手術中の体温の監視等に用いられるの
に適合した体温測定装置に関するものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a body temperature measuring device suitable for use in general body temperature measurement, women's basal body temperature measurement, body temperature monitoring during surgery, etc. It is.
従来技術の体温計は、一般に、被測定者の腋

とは極めて重要である。
Conventional thermometers generally include a contact-type probe that measures the temperature by contacting the skin surface of the subject's armpit, sublingual area, or external auditory canal, and directly display or store the temperature signal from this probe. (For example, JP-A-62-249022, JP-A-63-11140, and JP-A-60-
(Refer to Publication No. 216232). In particular, minute body temperature changes over time in women and temperature changes in general patients in units of time are necessary for making various physiological and medical decisions, and body temperature data must be stored and read out as appropriate. Being able to analyze and monitor leverage data is critical.
しかし、従来技術の体温計は、いずれも人体の
皮膚面に直接接触して検温し熱平衡させて測定し

が低く高い精度で体温を測定することができなか
つた。
However, all conventional thermometers measure the temperature by directly contacting the skin surface of the human body and allowing it to reach thermal equilibrium, so it takes a considerable amount of time to measure the temperature because it takes more than 5 minutes to achieve thermal equilibrium. , it is troublesome to understand and manage body temperature. In addition, sublingual (in the mouth) temperature measurements are taken with the mouth open, which causes the temperature to drop during the measurement, and other thermometers also measure temperature by touching the skin surface, so they are relatively susceptible to environmental temperature, and the temperature is also measured. Since the measurement position shifts each time, the reproducibility of the measurement position is low, making it impossible to measure body temperature with high accuracy.
また、手術中の如く経時的な体温変化を連続的
に測定するためには時々刻変化する体温を検出し
なければならないが、検温に時間がかかる従来技
術の接触型体温計ではこのような体温を連続的に

場合には、従来技術の体温計では検温が煩わしい
ため体温を省略することがあつて体温を確実に把
握し、管理することができなかつた。 In addition, in order to continuously measure body temperature changes over time, such as during surgery, it is necessary to detect body temperature that changes from moment to moment, but conventional contact thermometers that take time to measure temperature cannot detect such body temperature. It is not possible to measure the body temperature continuously, and in cases where it is required to measure body temperature frequently, such as when measuring a woman's body temperature, temperature measurement is sometimes omitted because temperature measurement is cumbersome with conventional thermometers. It was not possible to accurately monitor and control body temperature.

ある。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a body temperature measuring device that detects body temperature in a short period of time and stores the ever-changing body temperature over time, thereby making it possible to measure basal body temperature and monitor body temperature during surgery, etc. Our goal is to provide the following.

One of the means for solving the problem of the present invention is a body temperature measuring section consisting of an insulating ear plug inserted into the ear canal and a temperature sensor provided inside the ear plug, and displaying the body temperature according to the output of the body temperature measuring section. In the body temperature measuring device, the earplug has an infrared introduction hole that introduces infrared rays emitted from the eardrum, etc., and a sensor installation space that communicates with the infrared introduction hole, and the temperature sensor has a sensor installation space that communicates with the infrared introduction hole. It is an object of the present invention to provide a body temperature measuring device characterized by comprising a non-contact infrared temperature sensor installed in a space.

In the body temperature measuring device, the earplug has an infrared introduction hole that introduces infrared rays emitted from the eardrum, etc., and a sensor installation space that communicates with the infrared introduction hole, and the temperature sensor is installed in the sensor installation space. An object of the present invention is to provide a body temperature measuring device characterized by comprising a non-contact infrared temperature sensor installed in a body temperature sensor.

In this way, if the temperature sensor consists of a non-contact infrared temperature sensor installed in the sensor installation space that communicates with the infrared introduction hole in the earplug, the infrared rays emitted from the body heat deep in the human body inside the ear canal detects the heat within the human body and immediately generates an electrical signal (body temperature signal) proportional to the body temperature, and based on this body temperature signal, the body temperature is directly displayed or the body temperature is stored over time. Therefore, if a body temperature display section is provided, the body temperature can be known immediately, and if a memory device is provided, data can be read from the memory device to know changes in body temperature over time.

６，２８を経て体温表示部１４に導かれる。 Next, the operation of the body temperature measuring device 10 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. When the ear plug 16 of the body temperature measuring section 12 is inserted into the ear canal, the infrared temperature sensor 20 detects body temperature by receiving infrared rays proportional to the temperature of the eardrum, which is relatively close to the deep part of the human body. Therefore, the detected temperature is close to the true deep temperature, which is unaffected by the environmental temperature, and since it is measured non-contact using infrared rays, there is no need for thermal equilibrium time as with contact-type temperature sensors.
High speeds of less than a second are possible. The electrical signal from the infrared temperature sensor 20 is sent to the lead wire 2 together with the electrical signal from the environmental temperature sensor 22 that detects the environmental temperature.
6 and 28, the body temperature is guided to the body temperature display section 14.

きる。 Within the body temperature display section 14, the electrical signals from both sensors 20 and 22 are amplified by amplifiers 30 and 32, respectively, and then supplied to a correction circuit 34. Although the ear canal is relatively unaffected by the external environmental temperature, the correction circuit 34 changes the output of the environmental temperature sensor 22, which is slightly affected by the environmental temperature, from the output from the infrared temperature sensor 20, which corresponds to body temperature. , the correction circuit 34 outputs a body temperature signal that is extremely close to the true value. Note that since the earplugs 16 are made of a heat insulating material as described above, they are not affected by the temperature from the ears. In addition, even if the temperature sensor is an infrared temperature sensor, the measurement position is always the same, as it receives infrared radiation emitted from a place close to the eardrum, so it has good reproducibility and measures body temperature with high precision and high sensitivity. can do.

Therefore, there is no discomfort caused by air pressure being applied to the eardrum.

According to the present invention, as described above, an infrared temperature sensor is installed inside the earplug, and body temperature is detected by receiving infrared rays that are proportional to a temperature close to the human body's core body temperature, which is relatively unaffected by environmental temperature. The temperature measured is close to the true core body temperature, making it possible to measure body temperature with high accuracy.Also, since the temperature sensor measures non-contact using infrared rays, the measurement time is extremely short compared to a thermal equilibrium type. It is possible to measure body temperature, and therefore know the body temperature immediately, and it can also detect body temperature that changes from moment to moment and detect body temperature over time, so it can memorize changes in body temperature over time and calculate basal body temperature. It can be used for measuring body temperature and controlling body temperature during surgery, etc. Furthermore, since body temperature is detected by receiving infrared rays emitted from a certain measurement position, it has the practical benefit of being able to measure body temperature with high reproducibility.
