Description
The present invention relates to a temperature correction thermometer and method using a distance measuring sensor, and more particularly, to a thermometer and a thermometer that corrects temperature by a distance compensating method of measuring a distance to a measurement object through a distance measuring sensor .
The non-contact type clinical thermometer is a thermometer that measures the temperature using an infrared ray in a state of being separated from the measurement target by a predetermined distance, and has an advantage that the temperature can be measured without directly contacting the measurement target.
However, since the non-contact type thermometer is distant from the object to be measured by a predetermined distance, different result factors are likely to be produced at different times by different external factors. In order to solve this problem, the users of the actual non-contact type thermometer take a method of obtaining the average value of the measured values through the repeated measurement as the measurement results.
The non-contact temperature sensor of Japanese Patent No. 5,708,217, which is a prior art document, is designed to reduce the sensitivity and error caused by infrared radiation, and uses a temperature-compensating thermal element for detecting the amount of heat from the external environment, And the temperature of the radiant infrared ray heat source (heat source) is measured based on the temperature rise of the infrared ray absorbing means detected by the infrared ray detecting means and the ambient temperature detected by the temperature compensating thermal element. That is, in the prior art, the ambient temperature is measured in order to compensate the lost infrared ray among the infrared rays emitted from the object to be measured, and the measured infrared ray heat amount is compensated to calculate the result. This prior art is also designed to improve the accuracy of the result by compensating for the loss due to external factors. However, it is difficult to reliably determine whether the correct result can be obtained by compensating for the infrared heat quantity lost by only the ambient temperature measurement, There is a question as to whether the compensation can be reduced.
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to compensate the measured temperature based on more objective data. That is, it is an object of the present invention to provide a clinical thermometer and a method for measuring a distance from a measurement target using a distance measurement sensor to correct a measurement temperature result according to distance.
A temperature-compensated clinical thermometer, which is a first aspect of the present invention, includes a temperature-measuring sensor for collecting infrared rays radiated from an object to be measured and calculating an object temperature value; A distance measuring sensor including a light emitting portion and a light receiving portion and detecting a time when the infrared ray emitted from the light emitting portion reaches the light receiving portion and calculating a distance value to the object to be measured; A calculation unit receiving the target temperature value from the temperature measurement sensor, receiving the distance value from the distance measurement sensor, calculating a final temperature value by executing a distance compensation operation on the target temperature value, And an output unit receiving and outputting the final temperature value from the operation unit.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a temperature correction method using a distance measuring sensor of a non-contact type thermometer, comprising: measuring a target temperature value using a temperature measuring sensor; Measuring a distance to a measurement object using the distance measurement sensor; Calculating a final temperature value by performing a distance compensation operation on the target temperature value using the distance value; And outputting the final temperature value.
Unlike the conventional non-contact type thermometer, the clinical thermometer of the present invention is advantageous in reducing the measurement error by improving the accuracy of the body temperature measurement result and eliminating the cumbersome repetitive measurement by performing the distance compensation calculation using the distance measurement sensor.
