Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize more accurate thermometry without throwing any strength into the mouth during the thermometry by curving the probe of a clinical thermometer at one or more positions and easily inserting it into the mouth. CONSTITUTION:When a curved part 5 is put between the upper lip 12 and lower lip 13, the curved part 5 becomes a fulcrum naturally and the thermometer is pressed against the chin 15 by the weight of the main body 1. At this time, a temperature sensing part 7 which has its upper limit direction bent slightly by the curved part 6 is pressed naturally against the tongue 14 and contacts it easily. Further, the whole thermometer is fixed by the friction between the main part 1 and chin 15 and the upper lip 12 to perform stable thermometry. Thus, easy and accurate thermometry is realized.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a probe shape for an electronic thermometer.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention provides an electronic thermometer in which the main body and the probe are integrated, or a separate type electronic thermometer in which the main body and the probe are separated, in which the shape of the probe is bent in one or more places. This allows temperature measurements to be taken during the day, i.e., under the tongue, without any discomfort, and allows temperature measurements to be taken over a long period of time without fatigue.

[Conventional technology]

The probe shape of conventional electronic thermometers is straight and narrows with a gentle taper from the body to the temperature sensing part.
When placed in the electronic body temperature 11c, which has a body and a probe as one body, the body was much heavier than the probe, the shape of the body was unbalanced, and it was difficult to fix it in the mouth. Separate type electronic thermometers, in which the main body and the probe are separated, are light and easy to hold, but the lead wire connecting the probe and the main body is long and constantly pulls the probe.

[Problems and objectives that the invention attempts to solve 1-1] However,
In the conventional shape described above, the electronic thermometer is placed in the mouth during temperature measurement.
C<<Also, it has the problem of being very painful because it feels heavy in terms of balance. In addition, since there is no balance 1!1'-, it is difficult to keep it fixed during the day. Therefore, accurate temperature measurement h''-
The problem is that it cannot be done. or,#! With human thermometers, it is normal to measure the temperature while lying down, and if you fall into a sleepy state again during the temperature measurement, the closeness of the temperature sensing part of the slow-in thermometer may deteriorate, or the probe itself may be in the mouth. It has the problem that it separates from the

Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve these problems, and its purpose is to easily insert it during the day and to make it easy to use.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an electronic thermometer that can be held in the mouth and fixed in the mouth without any force during temperature measurement, allowing more accurate temperature measurement.

Means for Solving Problems] The electronic thermometer of the present invention has a probe shape that is integrated with the main body and the probe in one or more places.
It is characterized by being bent.

Further, it is considered that the shape of the probe of a separate type electronic thermometer in which the main body and the probe are separated is bent in one or more places.

Effect] According to the above-described shape of the present invention, by bending the shape of the probe in one place or more, the temperature sensing part can be brought into close contact with the sublingual area in the mouth, and the main body and the probe t+ can be integrated. In modern electronic thermometers, the thermometer body rests on the chin, and the temperature sensing part is pushed up by the weight of the main body with the lower mouth building as a fulcrum, allowing the temperature sensing part to go under the tongue without applying force. Since the temperature can be pressed, accurate temperature measurement h'- can be easily carried out. Father, when measuring basal body temperature, it is very stable, especially since the body rests on the chin, and there is no slight vibration or movement, and it does not drop or drop, allowing for accurate temperature measurement.

[East example]

FIG. 1(a) is a front view of an integrated structure showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which a probe section 4 extending from a main body section 1 in which a display means 2 and a switch 3 are arranged is bent at a bending section 5. Shows good shape. FIG. 1(b) Vi is a plan view of an integrated type,
A shape is shown in which a probe section 4 extending from the main body section 1 is bent at bending sections 5 and 6 and connected to a temperature sensing section 7.

FIG. 1(C) is a side view of the integrated type, showing the bending shapes of the bent portions 5 and 6 of the probe portion 4 extending from the main body portion 1 and the connecting shape of the temperature sensing portion 7. FIG.

2) is a front view of the separate type probe, showing the state of connection between the probe 8 and the lead wire 11, and the shape of the bent portion 9 of the probe 8. FIG. 2(b) is a side view of the separate type probe, showing the bent shape of the bent portion 9 of the probe 8 and the connection state of the temperature sensing portion 10 and the lead wire 11. Third
The figure shows the state in which the electronic thermometer shown in FIG.
When the lower jaw 13 is inserted, the bent portion 5 naturally becomes a fulcrum, and the weight of the main body portion 1 pushes it against the jaw 15. At this time, the temperature sensing portion 7, which is bent slightly toward the upper limit by the bending portion 6, is naturally pressed against the tongue 14 and easily comes into close contact with the tongue 14. The friction between the main body part 1 and the jaw 15 and the upper lip 12 fix the entire electronic thermometer by 7μ, allowing stable temperature measurement.

``Effects of the Invention, Song'' As described above, according to the present invention, the probe shape of the integrated electronic body can be bent at one place or more than 1 square inch, thereby improving the temperature sensing part in sublingual temperature measurement in the mouth. This has the effect of increasing the degree of adhesion to the sublingual area, and making it possible to secure the body with all the jaws, making temperature measurement more accurate and easier.

By bending the shape of the probe, it is possible to reduce the amount of force applied to the teeth and jaws of the human body, making it possible to measure temperature over a long period of time without fatigue. Nu,
As a result, since the main body is fixed even when measuring basal body temperature, it has the effect of making it possible to measure the body temperature even when one is lying down.

The above can be said about the separate type probe, but in addition, by bending the separate type probe, it can be fixed at the specified lower tongue by simply hooking it on the lower lip of the mouth during a temperature measurement. Variations in measurement positions at 1,000 ht-
This has the effect of eliminating the need for more accurate temperature measurement.
