Description

Ear thermometer gun cover

The invention relates to a probe cover for an ear thermometer, in particular to a probe cover for an ear thermometer provided for an ear thermometer probe.

First of all, the existing devices for measuring body temperature can use an ear thermometer or a temperature gun to sense the temperature of the human body. However, with the rise of health and safety awareness, a replaceable earmuff is usually placed over the probe of the ear thermometer before measuring the ear temperature. However, existing ear covers have a poor yield during manufacturing due to the nature of the structural features used to engage the probe. In addition, when the user uses the existing earmuffs, in the process of installation and disassembly, often because the strength of the earmuffs is insufficient, the earmuffs are not easy to be placed on the probe or the earmuffs are not easily separated from the probe.

Therefore, how to propose a probe that allows the user to more easily fit the earmuff to the ear thermometer or to separate the earmuff from the probe to overcome the above drawbacks has become an important issue for those skilled in the art. Question.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a probe cover for an ear thermometer for the deficiencies of the prior art, so as to increase the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the probe cover.

In order to solve the above technical problem, one of the technical solutions adopted by the present invention is to provide a probe cover for an ear thermometer, which comprises a tapered body, an annular elastic body, a flange and a plurality of rib structures. The tapered body has a closed end and an open end corresponding to the closed end. The annular elastomer is coupled to the open end of the tapered body. The flange is coupled to the annular elastomer, the annular elastomer being located between the tapered body and the flange, wherein the flange has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A plurality of the rib structures are disposed on the flange at intervals and are convexly disposed with respect to the first surface.

One of the advantageous effects of the present invention is that the probe cover for an ear thermometer provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be disposed on the flange and spaced apart from the first by using a plurality of the rib structures. The technical solution of the surface is convexly arranged, and the strength of the probe cover can be increased, so that the user can more easily integrate the probe cover to the probe of the ear thermometer or separate the probe cover from the probe.

For a better understanding of the features and technical aspects of the present invention, reference should be made to the detailed description and drawings of the invention.
