　基部５の一端Ｅ１側には、クリップ部６が取り付けられている。クリップ部６は、いわゆるクリップであり、例えば弾性を有する金属等により構成されている。クリップ部６は、マスク本体部Ｍの縁を弾性的に挟むことによりマスク本体部Ｍに取り付け可能である。 A clip portion 6 is attached to one end E1 side of the base portion 5 . The clip portion 6 is a so-called clip, and is made of, for example, elastic metal or the like. The clip portion 6 can be attached to the mask main body M by elastically pinching the edge of the mask main body M. As shown in FIG.
　基部５の、クリップ部６によって挟まれるマスク本体部Ｍとは逆側の面５１に、回路ブロック４が取り付けられている。回路ブロック４は、例えば円盤状のハウジングに収容されている。回路ブロック４の、基部５とは反対側の略中央に、温度センサ２が取り付けられている。 The circuit block 4 is attached to the surface 51 of the base portion 5 opposite to the mask body portion M sandwiched by the clip portion 6 . The circuit block 4 is accommodated in, for example, a disk-shaped housing. A temperature sensor 2 is attached substantially in the center of the circuit block 4 on the side opposite to the base portion 5 .

Hereinafter, the direction that faces the user when the user wears the mask main body M to which the mask thermometer attachment 1 is attached is simply referred to as the user side.
　図５は、図３に示すマスク用体温計アタッチメント１を拡大して示す側面図である。覆い部３１は、基部５に取り付けられている。覆い部３１は、回路ブロック４の、一端Ｅ１側縁部から立ち上がり、温度センサ２の少なくとも一部、例えば半分程度を覆うようにユーザ側方向に膨らむ覆い状の形状を有している。覆い部３１は、基部５の面５１に対して６０度以上、９０度以下の角度Ｒ１をなす切断面Ｃで切り落とされた形状を有している。覆い部３１の切断面Ｃが、他端Ｅ２側に開口する開口部３２となっている。覆い部３１は、基部５よりも熱伝導率が低い材料によって構成されている。 FIG. 5 is an enlarged side view of the mask thermometer attachment 1 shown in FIG. The cover portion 31 is attached to the base portion 5 . The cover part 31 has a cover-like shape that rises from the one end E1 side edge of the circuit block 4 and bulges in the user side direction so as to cover at least a part, for example, about half of the temperature sensor 2 . The cover portion 31 has a shape cut off at a cutting plane C forming an angle R1 of 60 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less with respect to the surface 51 of the base portion 5 . A cut surface C of the cover portion 31 forms an opening portion 32 that opens toward the other end E2. The cover portion 31 is made of a material having a lower thermal conductivity than the base portion 5 .
　クリップ部６は、マスク本体部Ｍに取り付けられた状態で、基部５の他端Ｅ２側を、マスク本体部Ｍにおける、クリップ部６の取付方向の中央ＣＴに向けて保持する。マスク本体部Ｍの左右の縁にクリップ部６が取り付けられた場合、取付方向は左右方向であり、マスク本体部Ｍの上下の縁にクリップ部６が取り付けられた場合、取付方向は上下方向である。 The clip part 6 holds the other end E2 side of the base part 5 toward the center CT of the mask main body part M in the mounting direction of the clip part 6 while being attached to the mask main body part M. When the clip portions 6 are attached to the left and right edges of the mask main body M, the attachment direction is the horizontal direction, and when the clip portions 6 are attached to the upper and lower edges of the mask main body M, the attachment direction is the vertical direction. be.
　図１では、マスク本体部Ｍの左右の縁にクリップ部６が取り付けられた場合を示しており、取付方向は左右方向である。これにより、基部５の他端Ｅ２側が、マスク本体部Ｍの左右方向の中央ＣＴに向けて保持される。開口部３２は、他端Ｅ２側に開口している。その結果、マスク用体温計アタッチメント１がマスク本体部Ｍに取り付けられると、開口部３２は、中央ＣＴに向けて開口する。 FIG. 1 shows a case where the clip parts 6 are attached to the left and right edges of the mask main body M, and the attachment direction is the left-right direction. As a result, the other end E2 side of the base portion 5 is held toward the center CT of the mask main body portion M in the left-right direction. The opening 32 opens toward the other end E2. As a result, when the mask thermometer attachment 1 is attached to the mask body M, the opening 32 opens toward the center CT.
　図６は、図３に示すマスク用体温計アタッチメント１の電気的構成の一例を示すブロック図である。図６に示すマスク用体温計アタッチメント１は、温度センサ２と、回路ブロック４とを備えている。温度センサ２は、例えば熱電対やサーミスタ等を用いて温度ｔを検出するいわゆる温度センサであり、回路ブロック４の制御部４１に接続されている。 FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an example of the electrical configuration of the mask thermometer attachment 1 shown in FIG. A mask thermometer attachment 1 shown in FIG. 6 includes a temperature sensor 2 and a circuit block 4 . The temperature sensor 2 is a so-called temperature sensor that detects the temperature t using, for example, a thermocouple or a thermistor, and is connected to the controller 41 of the circuit block 4 .
　回路ブロック４は、制御部４１、通信部４２、及び電池４３を備えている。通信部４２は、外部の端末装置との間で無線通信可能な無線回路である。通信部４２の通信方式としては、Bluetooth（登録商標）、ＷｉＦｉ（登録商標）、移動体無線通信等、種々の無線方式を用いることができる。通信部４２から無線信号を受信する端末装置は、例えばスマートフォン、タブレット端末、及びパーソナルコンピュータ等、種々の情報処理装置であってよい。 The circuit block 4 includes a control section 41, a communication section 42, and a battery 43. The communication unit 42 is a radio circuit capable of radio communication with an external terminal device.

Terminal devices that receive wireless signals from the communication unit 42 may be various information processing devices such as smartphones, tablet terminals, and personal computers.
　制御部４１は、例えば所定の演算処理を実行するＣＰＵ(Central Processing Unit)、データを一時的に記憶するＲＡＭ(Random Access Memory)、フラッシュメモリ等の不揮発性の記憶装置、及びその周辺回路等を備えている。そして、制御部４１は、上述の記憶装置等に記憶されたプログラムを実行することによって、通信処理部４４として機能する。 The control unit 41 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that executes predetermined arithmetic processing, a RAM (Random Access Memory) that temporarily stores data, a nonvolatile storage device such as a flash memory, and its peripheral circuits. I have. The control unit 41 functions as a communication processing unit 44 by executing a program stored in the above storage device or the like.
　通信処理部４４は、温度センサ２によって検出された温度ｔを、通信部４２によって外部の端末装置へ送信させる。電池４３は、温度センサ２、制御部４１、及び通信部４２の動作用電力を供給する。 The communication processing unit 44 causes the communication unit 42 to transmit the temperature t detected by the temperature sensor 2 to an external terminal device. A battery 43 supplies power for operating the temperature sensor 2 , the control unit 41 , and the communication unit 42 .
　次に、上述のように構成されたマスク用体温計アタッチメント１の動作について説明する。図７は、マスク用体温計アタッチメント１が取り付けられたマスク本体部Ｍをユーザが着けて、呼吸した状態を示す説明図である。ユーザが吐いた呼気の流れを実線矢印で、ユーザが吸った吸気の流れを破線矢印で示している。図７に実線矢印で示すように、ユーザが口や鼻から吐いた呼気の一部は、マスク本体部Ｍの内側に当たって、マスク本体部Ｍの中央付近から周りに拡がるように流れる。 Next, the operation of the mask thermometer attachment 1 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which a user wears the mask body M to which the mask thermometer attachment 1 is attached and breathes. The flow of expired air exhaled by the user is indicated by solid arrows, and the flow of inhaled air by the user is indicated by dashed arrows. As shown by solid arrows in FIG. 7, part of the user's exhaled air from the mouth and nose hits the inside of the mask body M and flows from the vicinity of the center of the mask body M to spread around.
　一方、覆い部３１の開口部３２は、中央ＣＴに向けて開口している。そのため、開口部３２の開口方向は、呼気が流れてくる方向を向いていることになる。その結果、ユーザの呼気は、開口部３２から入って覆い部３１で受け止められる。覆い部３１で覆われた領域に温度センサ２が位置しているため、ユーザの呼気の温度ｔが効率よく温度センサ２によって測定される。 On the other hand, the opening 32 of the cover 31 opens toward the center CT. Therefore, the opening direction of the opening 32 faces the direction in which the exhaled air flows. As a result, the user's exhalation enters through the opening 32 and is received by the cover 31 . Since the temperature sensor 2 is positioned in the area covered by the cover part 31, the temperature t of the user's breath is efficiently measured by the temperature sensor 2. FIG.
　温度センサ２によって測定された呼気の温度ｔは、通信処理部４４によって、通信部４２から外部の端末装置へ無線送信される。呼気の温度ｔには、ユーザの体温が反映されているから、通信部４２から送信された温度ｔを受信した端末装置では、温度ｔに基づきユーザの体温を取得することが可能となる。 The temperature t of the breath measured by the temperature sensor 2 is wirelessly transmitted from the communication unit 42 to an external terminal device by the communication processing unit 44 . Since the user's body temperature is reflected in the exhalation temperature t, the terminal device that receives the temperature t transmitted from the communication unit 42 can acquire the user's body temperature based on the temperature t.
　他方、図７に破線矢印で示すように、ユーザが吸った吸気は、マスク本体部Ｍを通り抜けてユーザの口や鼻へ向かう。そのため、吸気が流れる方向は、開口部３２の開口方向とは異なる。従って、吸気は、呼気と比べて開口部３２から覆い部３１に入りにくくなる。その結果、ユーザの吸気よりも呼気の方が、温度センサ２へ導かれ易くなる。 On the other hand, as indicated by the dashed arrow in FIG. 7, the air inhaled by the user passes through the mask main body M and goes to the user's mouth and nose. Therefore, the direction in which the intake air flows is different from the opening direction of the opening 32 . Therefore, inhaled air is less likely to enter the cover 31 through the opening 32 than exhaled air. As a result, the user's exhalation is more likely to be guided to the temperature sensor 2 than the user's inhalation.
　従って、ユーザの体温が反映されない吸気よりもユーザの体温が反映された呼気の方が、温度センサ２へ導かれ易くなるから、吸気の影響を低減しつつ、呼気の温度を測定することが可能となる。 Therefore, the exhaled air reflecting the body temperature of the user is more likely to be guided to the temperature sensor 2 than the inhaled air not reflecting the body temperature of the user. becomes.
　図８は、図３に示すマスク用体温計アタッチメント１の変形例を示す二面図である。図９は、図８に示すマスク用体温計アタッチメント１ａの斜視図である。図８、図９に示すマスク用体温計アタッチメント１ａは、マスク用体温計アタッチメント１とは、呼気導入部３ａが異なる。その他の点ではマスク用体温計アタッチメント１ａは、マスク用体温計アタッチメント１と同様に構成されている。 FIG. 8 is a two-sided view showing a modification of the mask thermometer attachment 1 shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the mask thermometer attachment 1a shown in FIG. A mask thermometer attachment 1a shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 differs from the mask thermometer attachment 1 in an exhalation introduction portion 3a. Otherwise, the mask thermometer attachment 1a is configured in the same manner as the mask thermometer attachment 1. As shown in FIG.
　呼気導入部３ａは、複数の開口部３２ａが形成された覆い部３１ａから構成されている。複数の開口部３２ａは、ユーザ側に向けて開口するように、覆い部３１ａに複数形成されている。覆い部３１ａは、基部５に取り付けられ、回路ブロック４の周縁部から立ち上がり、温度センサ２を覆うようにユーザ側方向に膨らむ覆い状の形状を有している。より具体的には、覆い部３１ａは、略有底筒状の形状を有し、ユーザ側を向いた底部に開口部３２ａが複数形成されている。覆い部３１ａは、基部５よりも熱伝導率が低い材料によって構成されている。 The breath introduction part 3a is composed of a cover part 31a in which a plurality of openings 32a are formed. A plurality of openings 32a are formed in the covering portion 31a so as to open toward the user side. The cover portion 31 a is attached to the base portion 5 , rises from the peripheral portion of the circuit block 4 , and has a cover-like shape that bulges toward the user side so as to cover the temperature sensor 2 . More specifically, the cover portion 31a has a substantially cylindrical shape with a bottom, and a plurality of openings 32a are formed in the bottom facing the user. The cover portion 31 a is made of a material having a lower thermal conductivity than the base portion 5 .
　覆い部３１，３１ａが、基部５よりも熱伝導率が低い材料によって構成されることによって、覆い部３１，３１ａ内に入り込んだユーザの呼気の温度が、覆い部３１，３１ａからの熱伝導によって低下するおそれが低減される。なお、覆い部３１，３１ａは、必ずしも基部５よりも熱伝導率が低い材料によって構成される例に限らない。 Since the cover portions 31 and 31a are made of a material having a lower thermal conductivity than the base portion 5, the temperature of the user's exhaled breath entering the cover portions 31 and 31a is increased by heat conduction from the cover portions 31 and 31a. The possibility of lowering is reduced. Note that the cover portions 31 and 31a are not necessarily made of a material having a lower thermal conductivity than the base portion 5 .
　図１０は、図８、図９に示すマスク用体温計アタッチメント１ａが取り付けられたマスク本体部Ｍをユーザが着けて、呼吸した状態を示す説明図である。呼気の流れを実線矢印で、吸気の流れを破線矢印で示している。図１０に実線矢印で示すように、ユーザが口や鼻から吐いた呼気は、ユーザ側からマスク本体部Ｍへ向かって流れる。 FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the user wears the mask main body M to which the mask thermometer attachment 1a shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is attached and breathes. The expiratory flow is indicated by a solid arrow, and the inspiratory flow is indicated by a dashed arrow. As indicated by the solid line arrows in FIG. 10, the user's exhaled air flows from the user's side toward the mask main body M. As shown in FIG.
　一方、覆い部３１ａの開口部３２ａは、ユーザ側に向けて開口している。そのため、開口部３２ａの開口方向は、呼気が流れてくる方向を向いていることになる。その結果、ユーザの呼気は、開口部３２ａから入って覆い部３１ａで受け止められる。覆い部３１ａで覆われた領域に温度センサ２が位置しているため、ユーザの呼気の温度ｔが効率よく温度センサ２によって測定される。 On the other hand, the opening 32a of the cover 31a opens toward the user. Therefore, the opening direction of the opening 32a faces the direction in which the exhaled air flows. As a result, the user's exhalation enters through the opening 32a and is received by the cover 31a. Since the temperature sensor 2 is positioned in the area covered by the cover portion 31a, the temperature t of the user's breath is efficiently measured by the temperature sensor 2. FIG.
　他方、図１０に破線矢印で示すように、ユーザが吸った吸気は、マスク本体部Ｍを通り抜けてユーザの口や鼻へ向かう。そのため、吸気が流れる方向は、各開口部３２ａの開口方向とは異なる。従って、吸気は、呼気と比べて開口部３２ａから覆い部３１ａに入りにくくなる。その結果、ユーザの吸気よりも呼気の方が、温度センサ２へ導かれ易くなる。 On the other hand, as indicated by the dashed arrows in FIG. 10, the air inhaled by the user passes through the mask main body M and goes to the user's mouth and nose. Therefore, the direction in which intake air flows is different from the opening direction of each opening 32a. Therefore, inhaled air is less likely to enter the cover 31a through the opening 32a than exhaled air. As a result, the user's exhalation is more likely to be guided to the temperature sensor 2 than the user's inhalation.
　従って、ユーザの体温が反映されない吸気よりもユーザの体温が反映された呼気の方が、温度センサ２へ導かれ易くなるから、吸気の影響を低減しつつ、呼気の温度を測定することが可能となる。 Therefore, the exhaled air reflecting the body temperature of the user is more likely to be guided to the temperature sensor 2 than the inhaled air not reflecting the body temperature of the user. becomes.
　なお、マスク用体温計アタッチメント１，１ａは、基部５を備えず、回路ブロック４が基部として用いられてもよく、覆い部３１，３１ａ及びクリップ部６は、基部としての回路ブロック４に取り付けられていてもよい。 The mask thermometer attachments 1 and 1a may not include the base portion 5, and the circuit block 4 may be used as the base portion, and the cover portions 31 and 31a and the clip portion 6 are attached to the circuit block 4 as the base portion. may
　また、温度センサ２、呼気導入部３，３ａ、及び回路ブロック４を備えるマスク用体温計は、マスク用体温計アタッチメント１，１ａを構成する例に限らない。マスク用体温計は、例えば粘着剤や粘着シート等により、マスク本体部Ｍに取り付けられてもよい。 In addition, the mask thermometer including the temperature sensor 2, the exhalation introduction parts 3 and 3a, and the circuit block 4 is not limited to the mask thermometer attachments 1 and 1a. The mask thermometer may be attached to the mask main body M by, for example, an adhesive or an adhesive sheet.
　また、マスク用体温計がマスク本体部Ｍに取り付けられた、体温計付マスクとして構成されていてもよい。 Further, it may be configured as a mask with a thermometer, in which a mask thermometer is attached to the mask body M.
　すなわち、本発明の一局面に従うマスク用体温計は、ユーザの口及び鼻口を覆うためのマスク状のマスク本体部の内側に、前記ユーザ側に向けて取り付けられることにより、前記ユーザの呼気の温度を測定する温度センサと、前記ユーザの吸気よりも前記呼気の方が、前記温度センサへ導かれ易くする呼気導入部とを備える。 That is, the mask thermometer according to one aspect of the present invention is attached to the inside of a mask-like mask main body for covering the user's mouth and nose, facing the user, thereby measuring the temperature of the user's exhaled air. and an exhalation introduction section that facilitates guiding the exhaled air of the user to the temperature sensor rather than the inhaled air of the user.
　この構成によれば、呼気導入部によって、ユーザの吸気よりも呼気の方が、温度センサへ導かれ易くなるので、吸気の影響を低減しつつ、呼気の温度を測定することが容易となる。 According to this configuration, the exhaled air of the user is more easily guided to the temperature sensor than the user's inhaled air by the exhaled air introduction section, so it becomes easier to measure the temperature of the exhaled air while reducing the influence of the inhaled air.
　また、前記呼気導入部は、前記温度センサの少なくとも一部を覆うように前記ユーザ側方向に膨らむ覆い状の形状を有する覆い部を含み、前記覆い部には開口部が形成されていることが好ましい。 In addition, the exhalation introduction section may include a cover section having a cover-like shape that bulges toward the user side so as to cover at least a portion of the temperature sensor, and the cover section may have an opening formed therein. preferable.
　この構成によれば、ユーザ側方向に膨らむ覆い状の覆い部に開口部が形成されているので、ユーザが吐き出した呼気が開口部から覆い部内に入り込みやすくなる。その覆い部は、温度センサの少なくとも一部を覆っているので、覆い部に入った呼気が温度センサへ導かれ易くなる。 According to this configuration, since the opening is formed in the cover-shaped cover that bulges toward the user side, the exhaled breath of the user can easily enter the cover through the opening. Since the covering part covers at least part of the temperature sensor, exhaled air entering the covering part is easily guided to the temperature sensor.
　また、前記温度センサ及び前記覆い部は、板状の基部の前記ユーザ側の面に取り付けられ、前記覆い部は、ドーム状の形状が、前記ユーザ側の面に対して６０度以上、９０度以下の角度をなす切断面で切り落とされた形状を有し、前記切断面が、前記開口部となっていることが好ましい。 Further, the temperature sensor and the cover are attached to the user-side surface of a plate-shaped base, and the cover has a dome-like shape with an angle of 60 degrees or more and 90 degrees with respect to the user-side surface. It is preferable to have a shape cut off by a cut surface forming the following angle, and the cut surface serves as the opening.
　板状の基部のユーザ側の面に取り付けられ、ドーム状の形状が、ユーザ側の面に対して６０度以上、９０度以下の角度をなす切断面で切り落とされた形状を有し、切断面が開口部となった覆い部は、ユーザの呼気がマスク本体部の内側に当たり、マスク本体部の内面に沿って流れた場合に、その呼気を効率よく捉えて温度センサへ導くことが容易となる。 Attached to the user-side surface of the plate-shaped base, the dome-shaped shape has a shape cut off at a cut surface that forms an angle of 60 degrees or more and 90 degrees or less with respect to the user-side surface, and the cut surface When the user's exhaled air hits the inside of the mask main body and flows along the inner surface of the mask main body, the cover part with the opening serves to efficiently catch the exhaled air and easily lead it to the temperature sensor. .

　また、本発明の一局面に従う体温計付マスクは、上述のマスク用体温計と、前記マスク本体部とを備え、前記温度センサは、前記マスク本体部の内側に取り付けられ、前記開口部は、前記マスク本体部の左右方向の中央の方向に開口している。 Further, a mask with a thermometer according to one aspect of the present invention includes the mask thermometer described above and the mask main body, the temperature sensor is attached inside the mask main body, and the opening is provided in the mask. It opens toward the center of the main body in the left-right direction.

The clip portion can be attached to the mask body portion by pinching the edge of the mask body portion. The other end side of the base is held toward the center of the mask main body in the mounting direction of the clip portion.
　この構成によれば、マスク用体温計アタッチメントのクリップ部でマスク本体部の縁を挟むことにより、マスク本体部の縁部よりも内側よりの位置にマスク用体温計を取り付けることができる。その結果、マスク用体温計アタッチメントによりマスク本体部の内側に取り付けられたマスク用体温計によって、吸気の影響を低減しつつ、呼気の温度を測定することが容易となる。 According to this configuration, the clip portion of the mask thermometer attachment can hold the edge of the mask main body, so that the mask thermometer can be attached to a position closer to the inside than the edge of the mask main body. As a result, the mask thermometer attached to the inside of the mask body by the mask thermometer attachment facilitates measurement of the temperature of exhaled air while reducing the influence of inspiratory air.
　また、本発明の一局面に従うマスク用体温計アタッチメントは、上述のマスク用体温計と、前記マスク用体温計を、前記マスク本体部に取り付ける取付部とを備え、前記取付部は、前記マスク用体温計を支持する板状の基部と、前記基部の一端側に取り付けられたクリップ部とを備え、前記クリップ部は、前記マスク本体部の縁を挟むことにより前記マスク本体部に取り付け可能であり、前記マスク本体部に取り付けられた状態で、前記基部の他端側を、前記マスク本体部における、前記クリップ部の取付方向の中央に向けて保持し、前記開口部は、前記他端側に開口している。 In addition, a mask thermometer attachment according to one aspect of the present invention includes the above-described mask thermometer and an attachment portion for attaching the mask thermometer to the mask main body, and the attachment portion supports the mask thermometer. and a clip portion attached to one end side of the base portion.

Furthermore, in this state, the opening of the cover opens toward the center of the mask main body. As a result, when the user's exhalation hits the inside of the mask body and flows along the inner surface of the mask body, the cover of the mask thermometer can efficiently catch the exhalation and guide it to the temperature sensor. Become. As a result, it becomes easier to measure the temperature of expired air while reducing the influence of inspired air.
　また、前記覆い部は、前記基部よりも熱伝導率が低いことが好ましい。 Also, it is preferable that the cover has a lower thermal conductivity than the base.
　この構成によれば、覆い部内に入り込んだユーザの呼気の温度が、覆い部からの熱伝導によって低下するおそれが低減される。 According to this configuration, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the temperature of the user's exhaled air entering the cover is lowered due to heat conduction from the cover.
　このような構成のマスク用体温計、体温計付マスク、及びマスク用体温計アタッチメントは、体温測定精度を向上させることが容易である。 A mask thermometer, a mask with a thermometer, and a mask thermometer attachment having such a configuration can easily improve the accuracy of body temperature measurement.
