Description

Temperature measuring device with dual temperature sensors

The present invention relates to a temperature measuring apparatus including a dual temperature sensor, and more particularly, to a temperature measuring apparatus including a dual temperature sensor capable of measuring a target temperature using a contact temperature sensor and a non-contact temperature sensor.

The temperature sensor is a sensor that detects heat and emits an electrical signal. In general, the temperature sensor may be classified into a contact temperature sensor and a non-contact temperature sensor. The contact temperature sensor measures the temperature by directly contacting the sensor to the actual measurement object. In order to accurately detect the temperature of the measurement object, a sufficient contact surface must be secured. The non-contact temperature sensor measures the hot wire radiated from the object to be measured. Although it has a fast response speed, the measurement result may be inaccurate due to the temperature rise of the non-contact temperature sensor itself.

In addition, the terms defined in the commonly used dictionaries are not ideally or excessively interpreted unless they are specifically defined clearly.

First, referring to FIG. 1, a temperature measuring system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a temperature measuring system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

The temperature measuring system is a system for measuring and monitoring a temperature of a measurement target, and may include a temperature measuring device 100 and a user terminal 200. Here, the measurement target may be an infant, and the temperature measuring system may be a system for measuring and monitoring the body temperature of the measurement target, but is not limited thereto.

The temperature measuring apparatus 100 may continuously measure the temperature of the measurement target and transmit the measurement result to the user terminal 200. In order to measure the temperature of the measurement object, the temperature measuring device 100 may be fixed to the garment (eg, diaper, etc.) of the measurement object so as to be fixed to the measurement object itself or to measure the temperature of the measurement object. The configuration, shape, or operation of the temperature measuring device 100 will be described later.

Specifically, referring to Figure 1, in connection with the temperature measuring device 100 is fixed to the garment of the measurement object, the temperature measuring device 100 is formed in the waistband or belt line under the diaper, panties or pants, etc. It can be fixed in the area, and can be monitored by continuously measuring the temperature of the measurement object while being fixed.

The user terminal 200 may receive the measurement result from the temperature measuring device 100 and monitor the temperature of the measurement target. The user terminal 200 may be, for example, a smartphone or a tablet PC, but the type of the user terminal 200 is not limited as long as it can receive the measurement result from the temperature measuring device 100. In addition, an application for controlling the user terminal 200 to generate and display monitoring information about a measurement object using the measurement result transmitted from the temperature measuring apparatus 100 may be installed in the user terminal 200.

According to the temperature measuring system of the present embodiment, even if the user does not measure the temperature of the measurement object every time, the user can check the measurement result transmitted from the temperature measuring device 100 through the user terminal 200, and the user is separated from the measurement object. Even if it is, the temperature of the measurement object can be easily monitored.

In some embodiments, the measurement result of the temperature measuring device 100 may not be directly transmitted from the temperature measuring device 100 to the user terminal 200, but may be transmitted to the user terminal 200 via a server (not shown). have. For example, the measurement result of the temperature measuring apparatus 100 may be transmitted from the temperature measuring apparatus 100 to a server (not shown), and the measurement result may be transmitted to the user terminal 200 from the corresponding server (not shown). .

Hereinafter, the temperature measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5. Referring to FIG. 2, a schematic diagram of a temperature measuring apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed. Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic diagram of a temperature measuring apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided. 4, an embodiment in which the temperature measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is fixed to a garment to be measured is disclosed. Referring to FIG. 5, an embodiment according to another embodiment of the present invention is described. A schematic diagram of the temperature measuring device 100 is disclosed.

2, the temperature measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a contact temperature sensor 10, a non-contact temperature sensor 20, the processor 30, the communication module 40 and the frame 50 ) May be included. That is, the temperature measuring device 100 may include a contact temperature sensor 10 and a non-contact temperature sensor 20 simultaneously as dual sensors. However, the temperature measuring device 100 according to some embodiments may include more or less components than those included in FIG. 2.

First, the contact temperature sensor 10 may measure the temperature of the measurement object, and may be located in the first region of the frame 50, for example. Since a sufficient contact surface between the contact temperature sensor 10 and the measurement object must be secured, when the frame 50 is fixed to the measurement object or the garment of the measurement object, the contact temperature sensor located in the first area of the frame 50 (10) may contact the measurement object.

The non-contact temperature sensor 20 may measure the temperature of the measurement object, and may be located in a second area of the frame 50 spaced apart from the first area, for example. Since the non-contact temperature sensor 20 needs to measure the temperature of the measurement object without contacting the measurement object, when the frame 50 is fixed to the measurement object or the garment of the measurement object, the non-contact temperature sensor 20 measures the second area of the frame 50. The positioned non-contact temperature sensor 20 may not contact the measurement object.

The processor 30 may control the operation of the temperature measuring device 100. Since the temperature measuring device 100 includes both the contact temperature sensor 10 and the non-contact temperature sensor 20, the processor 30 operates each of the contact temperature sensor 10 and the non-contact temperature sensor 20 at any time. Whether or not, whether or not the temperature sensor of the contact temperature sensor 10 and the non-contact temperature sensor 20 to recognize the result of the measurement as the temperature of the measurement object can be determined.

The communication module 40 may communicate with an external device including the user terminal 200. The communication module 40 may support a wired communication method and / or a wireless communication method. For example, USB 2.0 is a wired communication method. Wireless communication methods include Wireless Broadband Internet, Wi-Fi, ZIGBEE, Bluetooth, Ultra Wide Band (UWB), Near Field Communication (NFC), Examples include, but are not limited to, third generation mobile communication (3G), fourth generation mobile communication (4G), and fifth generation mobile communication (5G).

The frame 50 may fix the temperature measuring device 100 to the measurement target or the garment of the measurement target so that the temperature measuring device 100 according to the present embodiment can measure the temperature of the measurement target. For example, the frame 50 may have a clip shape to be fixed to the garment of the measurement target, but the method of fixing the frame 50 to the measurement target or the garment of the measurement target is not limited thereto.

The contact temperature sensor 10 may be located in a first area of the frame 50, the non-contact temperature sensor 20 may be located in a second area of the frame 50 spaced apart from the first area, and the frame 50 may be located in the first area of the frame 50. ) May be formed so that the second area in which the non-contact temperature sensor 20 is positioned does not contact the measurement object when the first area in which the contact temperature sensor 10 is located touches the measurement object. As such, the reason why the frame 50 is formed is that the contact type temperature sensor 10 measures the temperature of the measurement object precisely while the temperature measuring device 100 is fixed to the measurement object or the garment of the measurement object. This is because the contact with the object to be measured is necessary, and the non-contact temperature sensor 20 needs to maintain a distance from the object to measure the temperature of the object to be precisely measured.

Referring to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the frame 50 may include a sensor surface 51 having at least a portion of flexion or inclination, and the contact temperature sensor 10 may be formed of the sensor surface 51. The non-contact temperature sensor 20 may be located in one region and may be located in a second region of the sensor surface 51 spaced apart from the first region of the sensor surface 51. According to the present embodiment, the sensor surface 51 includes a bend or inclination, and because the contact temperature sensor 10 and the non-contact temperature sensor 20 are spaced apart from each other on the sensor surface 51, the temperature measuring device Even if the first area in which the contact temperature sensor 10 is positioned is in contact with the measurement object while the 100 is fixed to the object to be measured or the garment of the object to be measured, the sensor surface 51 due to the bending or inclination of the sensor surface 51. Some regions of the second region (eg, the second region) may be spaced apart from the measurement object and do not contact the measurement object.

On the other hand, at least a portion of the sensor surface 51 may be coated with silicon (for example, medical silicone), and when the temperature measuring device 100 is fixed to the measurement object, the sensor surface 51 comes into contact with the measurement object. At this time, since the silicon formed on the sensor surface 51 may be in close contact with the measurement object, the contact temperature sensor 10 may secure a sufficient contact surface through which the contact object is measured.

3 and 4, the frame 50 may have a U-shape, for example, and the temperature is measured by inserting a waistband or a belt line of a garment (eg, a bottom) into an opening 53 of the frame 50. The device 100 may be fixed to the garment of the measurement object.

Looking at the state in which the temperature measuring device 100 is fixed to the measurement object, the temperature measuring device 100 is in close contact with the measurement object while being fixed to the waistband or belt line of the garment while the sensor surface 51 faces the measurement object. It is done. That is, as the temperature measuring device 100 is fixed to the waistband or belt line of the garment, the waistband or beltline of the garment is tightened to the measurement object to maintain a close state as the contact type temperature sensor 10 is measured. You can stay in contact with Therefore, according to the temperature measuring apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, the contact type temperature sensor 10 can secure a sufficient measuring surface for measuring the temperature of the measurement target.

In addition, the sensor surface 51 includes a curved or inclined surface and a plane in a direction away from the measurement object, the contact temperature sensor 10 is disposed in the plane of the sensor surface 51 and the non-contact temperature sensor 20 is a sensor surface ( 51) may be disposed on an inclined surface. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, according to the temperature measuring device 100, since the non-contact temperature sensor 20 can be fixed to the measurement target or the garment of the measurement target in a state spaced apart from the measurement target, the non-contact temperature sensor 20 It is possible to secure a sufficient space for measuring the temperature of the measurement object.

On the other hand, in the temperature measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the non-contact temperature sensor 20 is relatively compared to the contact temperature sensor 10 in a state where the temperature measuring device 100 is fixed to the measurement object. Although located in the upper region, in some embodiments the contact temperature sensor 10 may be located in the upper region relative to the non-contact temperature sensor 20 with the temperature measuring device 100 fixed to the measurement object.

Hereinafter, a temperature measuring device according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5. However, the differences from the temperature measuring device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be mainly described. 5, there is shown a schematic diagram of a temperature measuring device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, according to the temperature measuring device 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention, the contact temperature sensor 10 is not formed in an adjacent region of the non-contact temperature sensor 20, and is formed to be spaced apart considerably. In addition, the contact temperature sensor 10 may be located in the region where the silicon 52 is formed in the sensor surface 51.

Hereinafter, a temperature measuring device according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 6. However, the differences from the temperature measuring device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be mainly described. 6, there is shown a schematic diagram of a temperature measuring device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the temperature measuring device 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention may include first and second sensor surfaces 51a and 51b, and the contact temperature sensor 10 may include a first sensor. The non-contact temperature sensor 20 may be formed on the surface 51a and may be formed on the second sensor surface 51b.

Here, the first sensor surface 51a may protrude relative to the second sensor surface 51b, that is, the second sensor surface 51b may settle relative to the first sensor surface 51a. . Accordingly, when the temperature measuring device 100 is fixed to the garment of the measurement target, the contact type temperature sensor 10 formed on the relatively protruding first sensor surface 51a contacts the measurement target to secure a sufficient contact surface. In addition, the non-contact temperature sensor 20 formed on the second sensor surface 51b that is relatively sinking down can secure a sufficient separation distance from the measurement object.

Meanwhile, in the temperature measuring apparatus 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention, the silicon 52 may be formed on the first sensor surface 51a.

Hereinafter, a temperature measuring device according to still another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7. However, the differences from the temperature measuring device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be mainly described. Referring to Fig. 7, a schematic diagram of a temperature measuring device according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.

Referring to FIG. 7, the sensor surface 51 has a bend or inclination in a direction away from the measurement object, and the non-contact temperature sensor 20 is located at a lower portion relative to the contact temperature sensor 10. The temperature sensor 20 may be located in an area of the sensor surface 51 spaced apart from the measurement object. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, according to the temperature measuring device 100, since the non-contact temperature sensor 20 can be fixed to the measurement target or the garment of the measurement target in a state spaced apart from the measurement target, the non-contact temperature sensor 20 It is possible to secure a sufficient space for measuring the temperature of the measurement object.

Hereinafter, a temperature measuring device 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 8. However, the difference from the temperature measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly. Referring to FIG. 8, a configuration diagram of a temperature measuring device 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.

Referring to FIG. 8, the temperature measuring device 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a storage unit 60. The storage unit 60 may store various information including the measurement result of the contact type temperature sensor 10 and the measurement result of the non-contact temperature sensor 20.

In some embodiments, the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 or the measurement result of the non-contact temperature sensor 20 may not be transmitted in real time to the user terminal 200 through the communication module 40. For example, when communication by the communication module 40 is impossible, the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 or the measurement result of the non-contact temperature sensor 20 may be stored in the storage unit 60, after which the communication module When the communication of 40 is enabled, it may be transmitted to the user terminal 200. In addition, according to a user's selection, the processor 30 may store the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 or the measurement result of the non-contact temperature sensor 20 in the storage unit 60 without being transmitted to the user terminal 200. The temperature measuring device 100 may be controlled.

Hereinafter, an operation of the temperature measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 9. 9, a flowchart of the operation of the temperature measuring apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.

In order to measure the temperature of the measurement target in the temperature measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the contact temperature sensor 10 is first used, and the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to an abnormal pattern. In this case, the measurement result of the non-contact temperature sensor 20 may be used. Therefore, when using the temperature measuring device 100 according to the present embodiment, even if the position of the temperature measuring device 100 is changed due to the movement or reversal of the measurement object, the measurement result of the contact type temperature sensor 10 becomes inaccurate. By using the measurement result of the non-contact temperature sensor 20, the temperature of a measurement object can be measured correctly.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 9, first, the processor 30 may control the temperature measuring apparatus 100 to measure the temperature of the measurement target by using the contact temperature sensor 10 (S10).

Since the contact temperature sensor 10 can measure the temperature of the measurement object with high accuracy, in the temperature measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the contact temperature sensor ( 10) may be used preferentially. In some embodiments, the contact temperature sensor 10 and the non-contact temperature sensor 20 operate at all times, and the measurement result of the non-contact temperature sensor 20 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern in which the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 is determined. It may be controlled by the processor 30 to be used only when.

In some embodiments, the contact temperature sensor 10 may operate at all times and the non-contact temperature sensor 20 may operate only when the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern. Can be controlled by In addition, in some embodiments, the processor 30 stops the operation of the contact temperature sensor 10 when the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern and the non-contact temperature sensor 20 is stopped. Can be operated.

Subsequently, the processor 30 may determine whether the result measured by the contact type temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern (S20).

Although the temperature measuring device 100 may be fixed to the measurement object or the garment of the measurement object by the frame 50, when the measurement object is moved or flipped, the fixing of the temperature measurement device 100 may be loosened. The contact between the contact temperature sensor 10 and the measurement object may not be made. Therefore, in this case, it may be determined that the measurement result by the contact type temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern, which is an inaccurate result.

For example, when the temperature of the measurement target is maintained below the predetermined temperature for more than a predetermined time, the processor 30 may determine that the measurement result by the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern. In the case of the infant being measured, the body temperature of the infant should be maintained at least 34 degrees Celsius or more. If the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 is measured for 3 minutes or more as the temperature of the measuring object is 34 degrees Celsius or less, Since the temperature sensor 10 is not in contact with the measurement object, the measurement result may be regarded as an inaccurate result.

Subsequently, when the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 does not correspond to a predetermined abnormal pattern, the processor 30 may recognize the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 as the temperature of the measurement object. It may be (S30).

When the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 does not correspond to a predetermined abnormal pattern, the processor 30 may determine the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 as a reliable result. . Therefore, the processor 30 may recognize the result measured by the contact type temperature sensor 10 as the temperature of the measurement object.

Meanwhile, when the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern, the processor 30 measures the temperature of the measurement target by using the non-contact temperature sensor 20. ) Can be controlled (S40).

If the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern, the processor 30 recognizes the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 as an inaccurate result, and thus the non-contact temperature. The non-contact temperature sensor 20 may be operated to use the result measured by the sensor 20 as the temperature of the measurement object.

However, the processor 30 may maintain the operation state of the contact temperature sensor 10 even after operating the non-contact temperature sensor 20. Through this, the processor 30 may continuously determine whether the measurement result of the contact type temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern, and the fixed position of the temperature measuring device 100 may be adjusted or another method may be used. If the factor that caused the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 to be inaccurate disappears, the processor 30 may use the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10.

As described above, in some embodiments, the contact temperature sensor 10 and the non-contact temperature sensor 20 are always operated, and the measurement result of the non-contact temperature sensor 20 is measured in advance. It may be controlled by the processor 30 to be used only in the case of a predetermined abnormal pattern. In some embodiments, the processor 30 stops the operation of the contact temperature sensor 10 and operates the non-contact temperature sensor 20 when the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern. You can.

Subsequently, the processor 30 may recognize the result measured by the non-contact temperature sensor 20 as the temperature of the measurement target (S45).

When the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern, the processor 30 may recognize the result measured by the non-contact temperature sensor 20 as the temperature of the measurement object.

Subsequently, the processor 30 may store or transmit the temperature of the measurement target (S50).

When the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to an abnormal pattern, the processor 30 stores the measurement result of the non-contact temperature sensor 20 in the storage unit 60 as the temperature of the measurement object or the communication module 40. The temperature measuring apparatus 100 may be controlled to be transmitted to the user terminal 200 through. That is, when the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 does not correspond to a predetermined abnormal pattern, the processor 30 recognizes the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 as the temperature of the measurement object. Thus, the communication module 40 may be controlled to transmit the result measured by the contact type temperature sensor 10 to an external device.

When the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 does not correspond to an abnormal pattern, the processor 30 stores the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 as the temperature of the measurement object in the storage unit 60 or The temperature measuring device 100 may be controlled to transmit to the user terminal 200 through the communication module 40. That is, when the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern, the processor 30 recognizes the result measured by the non-contact temperature sensor 20 as the temperature of the measurement object, The communication module 40 may be controlled to transmit the result measured by the non-contact temperature sensor 20 to an external device.

Therefore, when using the temperature measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, since both the contact temperature sensor and the non-contact temperature sensor 20 are included, the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 is inaccurate. In this case, by using the measurement result of the non-contact temperature sensor 20, it is possible to accurately measure the temperature of the measurement object.

Meanwhile, according to some embodiments, when the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern, the processor 30 may generate a notification signal.

If the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern, there is a problem in a fixed position of the temperature measuring device 100 or an abnormal thermal equilibrium occurs in the space in the garment surrounding the measurement object. Since the temperature of the measurement target is measured by the non-contact temperature sensor 20, the measurement result may not be trusted. Therefore, according to the temperature measuring apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, when the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern, the processor 30 generates a notification signal to the user. The temperature measuring device 100 may be notified that there is a problem.

The processor 30 generates an alarm related to a visual alarm, an audio alarm, and a vibration based on the temperature measuring device 100 itself, or transmits a notification signal through the communication module 40 to the user terminal 200. An alarm may be transmitted to the user through the user terminal 200 by transmitting to.

In addition, in some embodiments, the processor 30 may continuously determine whether the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern, and the measurement result of the contact temperature sensor 10 is previously determined. When not corresponding to a predetermined abnormal pattern, and the state is maintained for a predetermined time or more, the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 can be recognized as the temperature of the measurement object, the non-contact temperature sensor 20 Can be stopped.

Hereinafter, an operation of the temperature measuring device 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 10. However, the differences from the operation of the temperature measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly.

It may be determined whether the measurement result by 20 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern (S60).

For example, when the temperature of the measurement target is maintained below the predetermined temperature for more than a predetermined time, the processor 30 may determine that the measurement result by the non-contact temperature sensor 20 corresponds to a predetermined abnormal pattern, and the contactless type It can be recognized that the measurement result by the temperature sensor 20 is incorrect.

Subsequently, the processor 30 may generate an alarm signal when both the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 and the result measured by the non-contact temperature sensor 20 correspond to a predetermined abnormal pattern. (S65).

If the result measured by the contact temperature sensor 10 and the result measured by the non-contact temperature sensor 20 correspond to a predetermined abnormal pattern, since both measurement results are inaccurate, the processor 30 may notify the signal. By generating the to inform the user that there is a problem in the temperature measuring device 100.

Meanwhile, when the result measured by the non-contact temperature sensor 20 does not correspond to a predetermined abnormal pattern, the processor 30 may recognize the result measured by the non-contact temperature sensor 20 as the temperature of the measurement object ( S45).

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 11, the operation of the temperature measuring apparatus 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. However, the differences from the operation of the temperature measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described mainly. Referring to FIG. 11, a flowchart of the operation of the temperature measuring device 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.

Referring to FIG. 11, in the temperature measuring device 100 according to the present embodiment, the processor 30 controls to measure the temperature of the measurement target using the non-contact temperature sensor 20 (S40), and then the non-contact temperature sensor. It may be determined whether the usage time of 20 exceeds a predetermined time (S61).

Since the temperature of the non-contact temperature sensor 20 may increase as the temperature of the sensor itself decreases as the use time elapses, it is preferable to limit the use time of the non-contact temperature sensor 20 to a predetermined time.

Therefore, when the use time of the non-contact temperature sensor 20 exceeds a predetermined time, an alarm signal is generated (S65) to alert the user to notify that the position adjustment of the temperature measuring device 100 is required or disabled. Therefore, when the use time of the non-contact temperature sensor 20 does not exceed the predetermined time, the result measured by the non-contact temperature sensor may be recognized as the temperature of the measurement object (S45).
