Description

Infrared penetration rate ear thermometer with identification probe cover

The invention relates to an ear thermometer, in particular to an ear thermometer with an infrared penetration rate identifying a probe cover.

First, most existing devices for measuring body temperature can use ear thermometers or forehead thermometers to sense human body temperature. However, with the rise of hygiene and safety awareness, a replaceable earmuff is usually set on the probe of the ear thermometer before measuring the ear temperature. Generally speaking, the thickness of the top of the earmuff will affect the infrared transmittance it has. Therefore, when the user sets earmuffs with different thicknesses on the ear thermometer, the accuracy of the ear temperature measured by the ear thermometer will be affected. In order to avoid the uneven thickness of earmuffs, manufacturers usually use screening methods to sell earmuffs with thickness error within a certain range, and discard those that exceed the tolerance. In the current manufacturing process, the thickness of the earmuffs exceeds the tolerance and needs to be discarded by 30-40%.

Therefore, when the earmuffs are screened, the earmuffs of different thicknesses are marked and grouped together with the improvement of the structural design, so that the ear thermometer can quickly identify the penetration rate of the earmuffs set on it, so as to overcome the above-mentioned defects. It has become one of the important issues to be solved by this project.

A plurality of activation elements are arranged on the ear thermometer body and adjacent to the probe, and the plurality of activation elements are used to detect the infrared transmittance of the probe cover. Each activation element includes an on state and an off state, so that a plurality of activation elements are arranged and combined to form a plurality of different sensing combinations. The two infrared transmittances corresponding to any two of the sensing combinations are different from each other. The infrared detection element is arranged inside the ear thermometer body, wherein the infrared rays pass through the probe cover and enter the inside of the ear thermometer body through the probe, and then the infrared detection element receives and outputs a detection signal.

The probe 2 is arranged on the body 1 of the ear thermometer. The probe can be set on it by a probe cover U. The probe cover U has a closed end U1. The closed end U1 can penetrate infrared rays, that is, the main passage of infrared rays. Therefore, the closed end 11 has different infrared transmittances according to the change of its thickness. The closed end 11 itself has a thickness. As for the probe cover U, the infrared transmittance of the probe cover U actually refers to the infrared transmittance of the closed end 11 . Therefore, the probe cover U has different infrared transmittances according to the thickness of the closed end 11 .

A plurality of activation elements 3 are provided on the ear thermometer body 1 and adjacent to the probe 2 .

Bearing the above, further, since the probe cover U provided by the present invention is the probe 2 that is sleeved on the ear thermometer T, the flange U2 of the probe cover U will have a plurality of activation elements 3 corresponding to the ear thermometer T. of multiple detection positions U3.

Through the design of the convex portion 6, when the probe cover U is set on the probe 2 of the ear thermometer T, the situation that the plurality of detection positions U3 cannot be aligned with the plurality of activation elements 3 due to the rotation of the probe cover U can be avoided. Furthermore, the probe 2 includes a groove 7 which surrounds the outer surface of the probe 2 .

Each activation element 3 is pressed/unpressed, so that the plurality of activation elements 3 do not trigger a sensing signal or trigger at least one sensing signal. The specific steps for triggering the sensing signal by the enabling element 3 will be described in detail later. However, the present invention is not limited, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the on state and the off state of the activation element 3 may actually be in other forms. For example, the activation element 3 may be, for example, a photoelectric switch (photoelectric sensor) , utilize the light transmittance/opaqueness of multiple detection positions U3 on the flange U2 of the probe cover U to block or penetrate the light beam emitted by the photoelectric switch, thereby detecting the infrared rays of the probe cover U penetration rate.

The control element 5 is arranged inside the ear thermometer body 1 . When each activating element 3 is in an on state (ie, the latch is pressed down), each activating element 3 will trigger a sensing signal to the control element 5 . Therefore, a plurality of different sensing combinations formed by a plurality of activation elements 3 (for example, one activation element 3 is in an on state, and another activation element 3 is in an off state) do not trigger a sensing signal or trigger a At least one sensing signal is sent to the control element 5 .
