Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] The purpose is to reduce the holding power of the electronic thermometer when measuring body temperature. [Structure] A part of or the entire surface of the housing was made a rough surface with minute irregularities. [Effect] Accurate body temperature can be measured, and the holding power when measuring body temperature is also reduced.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a housing surface of an electronic thermometer.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The housing of the conventional electronic thermometer protects and fixes the electronic circuit, and most of them are generally made of a resin material. The surface of this case was smooth, so it was slippery when sandwiched under the armpit.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 For this reason, in a measurement in which the electronic thermometer was lightly sandwiched under the axilla, the electronic thermometer was in an unstable state, and the temperature measuring part of the electronic thermometer moved under the axilla, which sometimes prevented accurate measurement of the temperature. In this case, the thermometer had to remeasure his body temperature.

Further, in order to accurately measure the body temperature under the armpit, it is necessary to bring the temperature measuring unit into close contact with the armpit. Since the conventional electronic thermometer is slippery as described above, there is a problem that the thermometer needs extra force to keep the temperature measuring part immobile and the measurement of the body temperature becomes troublesome. .

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic thermometer capable of quickly measuring an accurate body temperature and reducing the holding power during the body temperature measurement.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, in the case of the electronic thermometer, a part or the whole surface of the case is made a rough surface having fine irregularities.

[0007]

[Operation] By making the surface of the housing a rough surface with minute irregularities, the frictional force with the skin when the electronic thermometer is sandwiched under the armpit increases, and the sliding of the electronic thermometer on the electronic thermometer when measuring the body temperature Play a role.

[0008]

【Example】

 In the present invention, the term "rough surface with minute irregularities" refers to the surface condition that has been subjected to satin finish, embossing, embossing, etc.

The present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

When the satin finish 2 is applied to the entire surface of the electronic thermometer housing. FIG. 1 shows the satin finish 2 applied to the entire surface of the electronic thermometer housing 1.

[0012] This type has a rough surface provided with fine irregularities on the surface of the housing 1, so that dirt is likely to adhere to the body during temperature measurement and is difficult to remove. Not suitable for mouth temperature measurement. When used under the armpit, the satin finish 2 is applied to the entire surface of the housing 1, so that a slipping effect can be obtained at any part of the electronic thermometer to be sandwiched. For example, a part of the electronic thermometer including the temperature measuring part is sandwiched under the armpit, or the temperature measuring part is under the armpit, and the entire electronic thermometer is sandwiched between the arm and body of the armpit with the armpit closed. Is.

Therefore, no matter how the user clamps the electronic thermometer under the armpit, the satin finish 2 on the entire surface of the housing 1 can stably hold the temperature measuring portion under the armpit, so that the body temperature can be accurately measured. It is also possible to reduce the holding power while measuring body temperature.

When a satin finish 2 is applied to a part of the housing 1 of the electronic clinical thermometer FIG. 2 shows a smoothed portion from the temperature measuring portion of the electronic clinical thermometer to 1/3 of the entire length.

This type can be used not only under the armpit from the viewpoint of hygiene. This is because the area around the temperature measuring part is smooth, and dirt that has adhered during temperature measurement can be easily removed.

When used under the armpit, as in the above embodiment, by sandwiching the entire electronic thermometer between the arm and the body side of the closed armpit, the sliding effect of the satin finish on the surface of the housing 1 can be obtained. Since the temperature measuring unit under the armpit can be stably held, accurate body temperature can be measured and the holding power during body temperature measurement is also reduced.

In FIG. 3, characters 4 and the like are formed in the vicinity of the temperature measuring portion of the housing 1 by utilizing the difference in surface texture between the matte portion 2 and the smooth portion 3. The elliptical part near the temperature measuring part in the figure represents the character 4 etc.

This type is suitable for oral temperature measurement because a rough surface provided with fine irregularities on the surface of the casing 1 may cause a hygiene problem as in the case of the entire surface satin finish 2 of the casing 1. I don't. When the satin finish 2 is applied to the entire surface of the casing 1 as in the case where a part of the electronic thermometer including the temperature measuring portion is sandwiched under the axilla, the satin finish 2 on the surface of the casing 1 is placed under the armpit. Since the temperature measuring unit can be held stably, accurate body temperature can be measured and the holding power during body temperature measurement is also reduced.

In the above-described embodiment, even if the surface of the housing 1 is textured or embossed, the temperature measuring unit can be stably held under the axilla, and accurate body temperature can be measured and the body temperature can be maintained during measurement. Power is also reduced. In addition, it is possible to avoid the state where the conventional re-temperature measurement had to be performed.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, since it has the above structure, the temperature measuring part of the electronic thermometer can be stably held under the armpit, accurate temperature can be measured, and the holding force during the temperature measurement is also reduced. To be done.
