Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electronic body temperature measuring device that measures body temperature inside the ear.

The Ogino method is commonly known as a contraceptive method.

Temperature abnormalities are detected by measuring the body temperature with a regular thermometer at regular intervals while the patient is at rest, such as before waking up in the morning, and plotting the results on a graph.

However, it is troublesome to take body temperature measurements during busy morning hours, and there is a drawback that people tend to forget about them.

In order to solve this drawback, a fertility control watch is equipped with a body temperature measuring device on the back of the watch, and a fertility/non-conception possibility display field is formed on the watch's display panel. has been proposed (see Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-57789)
.

This fertility control watch can be simply worn on your wrist.
Although the above-mentioned annoyances are eliminated, if the fertility control clock becomes misaligned due to unconscious movement of the arm while sleeping,
There are drawbacks in that body temperature fluctuates widely depending on the body part, and the measured temperature changes due to variations in the contact between the skin and the body temperature sensor.

In order to solve the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional examples, the present invention is characterized in that a body temperature sensor is configured as an ear-insertion type, and the body position is measured in the ear. It provides equipment.

Hereinafter, the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of an electronic body temperature measuring device according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is an earplug-type body temperature sensor configured to be inserted into the ear, 2 is a lead wire, and 3 is a lead wire. 2, the display device 4. This receiver is equipped with a reset button 5 and a mode changeover switch 6, and the circuit configuration of this receiver 3 is similar to that of the electronic thermometer proposed by the present applicant (Japanese Patent Application No. 58-7).
6372).

In the electronic body temperature measuring device of this embodiment configured in this way,
Since the earplug-type body temperature sensor fits tightly into the ear, it has the advantage that it does not come off when the user turns over in bed. Another advantage is that air does not circulate inside the ear that is blocked by the earplug-type body temperature sensor 1 unless the earplug-type body temperature sensor 1 is removed, so the body temperature can be accurately measured without being affected by the outside air. There is.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an electronic body temperature measuring device in which the receiver 2 of FIG. 1 is shaped like a hair band so that it can be fixed on the head. is connected to one end of the hair band 7, and also connected to one end of the hair band 7.
A display device 4 equipped with a measuring circuit, a reset button 5, and a mode changeover switch 6 are provided at appropriate positions.

This electronic body temperature measurement device is fixed to the head with a hair band 7, and the lead wire 2 between the earplug type body temperature sensor l and the hair band is short, so when measuring body temperature during sleep,
It has the advantage of not shifting.

FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a third embodiment of the present invention, in which an earplug-type body temperature sensor 1 is attached to a head holder 8 with an earphone 9.
is installed, and the receiver 3 has a built-in body temperature measurement circuit and a display! 4. Reset button 5 and mode switching switch,
A radio or cassette tape recorder 10 or a time alarm clock 11 is built in.

In the electronic body temperature measuring device of this embodiment configured as described above, the body temperature can be measured with the earplug type body temperature sensor attached to the earphone 9, and music etc. can be played from the radio or the cassette tape recorder 10. It can have a hypnotic effect during sleep. Also, if you set an alarm clock with a timer, you can wake up with an alarm the next morning.

FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of an electronic body temperature measuring device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which an oscillator is built into an earplug type body temperature sensor 1, an antenna 11 is provided, and a receiver 3 is provided with an oscillator. is provided with the body temperature measurement circuit of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and the information sent wirelessly from the antenna 11 of the earplug-type body temperature sensor 1 is received by the antenna 12 of the receiver 3 and input to the body temperature measurement circuit, The temperature is displayed on the temperature display device 4.

The electronic body temperature measuring device of this embodiment configured as described above is as follows:
Since the lead wire 2 is not connected to the earplug-type body temperature sensor 1, there is an advantage that the earplug-type body temperature sensor 1 will not come off from the ear due to being pulled by the lead wire during sleep. Further, 14 indicates a power indicator light when using batteries. This is very important to prevent erroneous measurements due to insufficient power.

In the above embodiment, the body temperature sensor 1 is described as an earplug type, but it is not limited to the earplug type, and any type that can be inserted into the ear may be used. Additionally, body temperature sensors are placed in the ear and can be measured during the day. Furthermore, this body temperature measurement is not limited to measurement during sleep.
It is possible to measure body temperature whenever you want.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the body temperature sensor is inserted into the ear and the internal body temperature is measured, so the body temperature sensor does not come off the ear, and therefore errors are reduced. By attaching it to headphones and playing music from a radio or cassette tape recorder, it has a hypnotic effect during sleep.Furthermore, by making the connection between the body temperature sensor and the receiver wireless, it is possible to avoid being pulled by the lead wire. The advantage is that the body temperature sensor never comes off the ear.
