Description

Heat stroke detector

The present invention relates to a detector, and more particularly to a heat detector that can be hung on a human ear.

In Taiwan, which is located in tropical and subtropical climate regions, about half of the time is hot in the year. Especially in the eastern and southern parts of Taiwan, the annual summer heat is pressing. In the environment where the room temperature exceeds 35 °C or in the hot summer sun, it is bound to work. Time labor, and there are not enough measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down, often prone to heatstroke and violent events.

Heatstroke is divided into three levels: aura of heatstroke, mild heat stroke, and severe heatstroke. The threat of heatstroke is caused by dizziness, headache, thirst, sweating, general fatigue, palpitations, and lack of attention after working for a certain period of time in a high temperature environment. Symptoms, inconsistent movements, normal or slightly elevated body temperature, mild heat stroke, in addition to symptoms of threatened heat stroke, facial flushing, excessive sweating, rapid pulse, etc., body temperature increased to 38.5 ° C or more For mild heat stroke, and severe heat stroke, for high fever above 41 ° C, no sweat and disturbance of consciousness.

Since the normal body temperature of the human body is generally around 37 °C, the heat generation and heat dissipation can be balanced by the action of the hypothalamic temperature regulating center. For example, athletes who are active in outdoor or overheated environments for a long time, if the heat generation is greater than heat dissipation The body temperature will increase, and it is prone to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, heat dissipation, organ damage, heat fainting, enthusiasm, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and other thermal injury syndromes.
