Abstract

The present invention is intended to provide a wireless paediatric thermometer for constantly monitoring the temperature, which is able to store temperature data and generate alarms in a remote manner when the sensed temperature is out of the range of the temperature preset as normal. The inventive thermometer is characterised in that it comprises: an emitter module and a receptor module, where the emitter module comprises: an infrared sensor, operatively connected to a first microcontroller, which is connected to a first regulator card, which in turn is connected to a wireless communication radiofrequency transmitter with a radiofrequency receptor located in the receptor module, and operatively connected to a second microcontroller, to which a second regulator card is connected, a module for visualizing the information and a speaker; the second microcontroller comprises a means for entering the data, an interface and a second power source.

Description

WIRELESS PEDIATRIC THERMOMETER DESCRIPTION OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present application is intended to provide a wireless pediatric thermometer for constant temperature monitoring with the ability to store temperature records and generate alarms remotely when the sensed temperature is outside the range of the temperature set as normal.

BACKGROUND Thomas Clifford Allbutt designed in 1866 a portable thermometer for clinical use, 12 cm, which reached its point of equilibrium quickly, being able to measure the temperature in just five minutes. From that moment the taking of the temperature quickly became a routine practice.

Ana Cecilia Moreno Alamo in 2008 presented a portable skin temperature monitoring system, it is a wireless, battery-operated remote thermometer. The wireless thermometer has proven not only to be a device that monitors a child's temperature throughout the night, it can also be a great help for diabetics: in the face of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar, they should receive various drugs that can sometimes cause a hypothermia or low temperature with serious risk to your health.

The first thermometers did not have the accuracy and wireless characteristic of our design, however, they could be classified according to the place where they were used to measure the temperature.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention consists of a thermometer of infrared radiation, particularly a thermometer that measures the body temperature in people ranging from 0 to 6 years of age, which has two parts, the first is the thermometer and the second is the monitor where display the data measured by the thermometer. A concave box (5) with an orifice (6) for the radiation inlet and outlet, an ignition button (1), a sensor (3) to register the infrared radiation attached thereto, a device is provided in the thermometer. logical electronic evaluation. The sensor and the logic device are powered by batteries. To measure the temperature, the hole (6) of entry is available at a distance of 1 to 5 cm from the skin, which contains a plastic movable film (4.2) that protects the integrity of the sensor and in turn, is transparent for infrared radiation, it has two magnets (7) to attach to the clothes of the infant, clamp type.

The thermometer reason for this request is used to take body temperature in both the domestic and the medical sector.

The logical electronic evaluation device has the function of ordering, decoding the signal, but in turn, this has a subdivision responsible for sending the signal from the thermometer to the receiver monitor from radio frequencies.

The receiving part of the temperature measuring device has a monitor, which has an upper casing (10) and a lower casing (9), powered in two different ways; by alternating current 127V or batteries, it has a light-emitting diode (red LED) (12), a loudspeaker for acoustic signaling controlled the volume by means of a plastic button (13), a liquid crystal screen (LCD) (11) where the temperature measured by the thermometer, which is arranged close to The skin of the user and also has a signal reception system that was sent in the first instance by the transmitter, this reception is carried out by a receiver that decodes the signal and is located inside the lower housing (9) and shown in the liquid crystal screen (ll) LCD monitor.

The alarm signal is emitted immediately after having registered a temperature that the user establishes as the temperature that activates the alarm. According to its characteristics, once the device is disconnected, the data is erased and when reconnecting it, the new measured data will be used. The warning signal is an optical signal (12) and / or acoustic displayed on the reception monitor (11), for the optical signal a red LED (12) and a buzzer horn are used in the acoustic signal. The optical signal shines to such an intensity that it can be seen even in cases of a lot of sun and the acoustic signal is so sharp that it can still be picked up with other sounds in the middle. When the value of the temperature obtained is within the normal temperature range of the human body, only the temperature measurement is shown on the liquid crystal LCD screen (11) of the monitor, this shows the user the temperature of the infant. The lower cover (8) corresponds to the battery cover. The plastic button (14) serves as a view and covers the screws that hold both housings.
