Among them, the ear-type body temperature measuring device is a method of measuring infrared heat generated from the skin around the eardrum and eardrum, and has been used for a long time due to the relatively low price as compared with the forehead type body temperature measuring device.

On the other hand, the ear-shaped body temperature measuring device has a structure in which the infrared ray temperature measuring part protrudes to the outermost part, so that the measurement part is contaminated during storage, or the accurate temperature measurement can not be performed due to foreign substances in the ear during measurement In order to solve such a problem, a protective cover which can be detachably attached is further provided.

However, if a protective cover is additionally provided in the body temperature measuring device as in the conventional system, the overall unit price of the body temperature measuring device is increased. Further, there is a problem that the size of the body temperature measuring apparatus is restricted due to the volume of the protective cover.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a body temperature measuring apparatus which can easily protect a sensor unit while accurately measuring body temperature.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a probe comprising: a probe;

An infrared sensor unit disposed on one side of the probe; And a cover part formed to surround the probe and the infrared sensor part, wherein the cover part opens and closes the infrared sensor part according to whether the cover part is rotated in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the body temperature measuring device.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the opening and closing of the infrared sensor unit is performed through an opening formed in one side of the cover unit.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a fixing part is included in the inside of the cover part, and the fixing part prevents the cover part from rotating more than predetermined.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the infrared sensor unit can be opened or closed according to whether the cover integrated in the probe rotates in the longitudinal direction orthogonal direction of the body temperature measuring apparatus, the infrared sensor unit can be easily protected.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the cover portion is integrated with the probe, so that the body temperature measuring apparatus can be miniaturized.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the cover portion is integrated with the probe, thereby reducing the cost of constructing the additional protective cover.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by like reference characters throughout the specification.

Throughout the specification, when a part is referred to as being "connected" to another part, it includes not only "directly connected" but also "indirectly connected" . Also, when an element is referred to as "comprising ", it means that it can include other elements, not excluding other elements unless specifically stated otherwise.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a body temperature measuring apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is an exemplary view showing a part where the body temperature measuring apparatus 100 measures infrared rays in the eye.

1, the body temperature measuring apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a probe 110, an infrared sensor unit 120, and a cover unit 130.

The probe 110 may be inserted into the canal and may have a cylindrical or conical shape to facilitate insertion.

The infrared sensor unit 120 may be disposed on one side of the probe 110 and may detect infrared rays emitted from the ear canal inside the ear.

In detail, the iso is an S-shaped tube extending from the opening to the eardrum, and the eardrum (P) located near the eardrum can have the same surface temperature as the eardrum. (See Fig. 2)

Here, since the eardrum can accurately reflect the body temperature by sharing the same blood as the hypothalamus of the brain controlling the body temperature, the body temperature can be measured by measuring the surface temperature of the eardrum (P) located near the eardrum having the same surface temperature as the eardrum Can be measured.

That is, the infrared sensor unit 120 senses infrared rays emitted from the ear canal P located near the eardrum, thereby obtaining the same effect as detecting the infrared rays emitted from the eardrum, thereby measuring the body temperature.

The cover unit 130 can surround the probe 110 and the infrared sensor unit 120 and can protect the infrared sensor unit 120 from external foreign matter or impact. An opening 140 may be formed in the cover part 130 so as to face the infrared sensor part 120.

The infrared sensor unit 120 can directly detect the infrared rays emitted from the islands P located near the eardrum through the opening 140 formed in the cover unit 130. [

That is, the opening 140 formed in the cover part 130 serves as a passageway so that the infrared rays emitted from the iso P located near the eardrum can pass through the cover part 130 and be detected by the infrared sensor part 120 can do.

In addition, a case where an infrared ray transmitting layer (not shown) capable of transmitting infrared rays is further disposed at a position where the opening 140 is formed can be included in the spirit of the present invention.

2 shows a longitudinal dimension A of the opening 140 and a longitudinal size B of the infrared sensor 120 in the same manner. And the vertical size (B) of the infrared sensor unit 120 can be variously changed according to design matters.

FIG. 3 is an exemplary view showing a rotation method of the cover unit 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the cover unit 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention, And the infrared sensor unit 120 is opened or closed according to the rotation of the infrared sensor unit 120.

In the present invention, opening and closing of the infrared sensor unit 120 means that the infrared sensor unit 120 is opened or closed.

Here, opening the infrared sensing unit 120 means that external infrared rays can reach the infrared sensor unit 120. On the contrary, sealing the infrared sensor unit 120 means that external infrared rays can not reach the infrared sensor unit 120.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 4, the cover unit 130 may open or close the infrared sensor unit 120 depending on whether the cover unit 130 rotates in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the body temperature measuring apparatus.

More specifically, when the infrared sensor unit 120 is opened by aligning the opening 140 formed in the cover unit 130 and the infrared sensor unit 120, The infrared sensor unit 120 can be closed depending on whether the apparatus is rotated in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the apparatus.

For example, when the cover unit 130 rotates in the C direction while the infrared sensor unit 120 is opened, the cover unit 130 may seal the infrared sensor unit 120. At this time, the cover unit 130 can be opened again by rotating to the direction (D) or rotating to the point when the infrared sensor unit 120 is opened in the direction (C).

This is an example of a manner in which the cover part 130 of the present embodiment is rotated. The rotation method of the cover part 130 is the same as that of the cover part 130 when the cover part 130 is rotated 90 degrees in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the body temperature measuring device And a case where the cover part 130 is rotated 360 degrees in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the body temperature measuring device.

A fixing portion (not shown) may be additionally provided on the inner side of the cover portion 130 so that the opening portion 140 and the infrared sensor portion 120 can be easily aligned with each other.

In a case where the opening part 140 and the infrared sensor part 120 are aligned at positions facing each other, the fixing part is configured such that the cover part 130 rotates in any one direction of the longitudinal direction orthogonal direction of the body temperature measuring device. Can be limited.

For example, when the opening portion 140 and the infrared sensor portion 120 are aligned with each other, the fixing portion can restrict the rotation of the cover portion 130 in the (C) direction.

At this time, the user rotates the cover part 130 in the direction of (C) until the cover part 130 is restricted from rotating in the (C) direction so that the opening part 140 and the infrared sensor part 120 face each other As shown in FIG.
