Embodiment 1

[0101] Figure 5 It is a figure which shows the structure of the thermometer main body 10 of this embodiment. In addition, Figure 5 (A) is a perspective view of the thermometer body 10, Figure 5 (B) is a cross-sectional view of the thermometer body 10, Figure 5 (C) is a diagram showing an example of the arrangement of body surface sensors 20C, 20D, and 20E for calibration.

[0102] Such as Figure 5 As shown in (A), the thermometer main body 10 has a thin cylindrical shape with a step difference on the upper surface. Such as Figure 5 As shown in (B), the clinical thermometer body 10 has body surface sensors 20A, 20B as temperature sensors (thin film thermistors), body surface sensors 20C, 20D, and 20E for calibration, and first and second heat radiation control units 18A, 18B. The thermometer main body 10 is configured such that a second heat dissipation control unit 18B having a different thermal conductivity is attached to the upper half of the first heat dissipation contro...

Abstract

The invention provides an electronic thermometer and a body temperature measurement method which can correctly measure core body temperature. An electronic thermometer (2) includes a first body surface temperature measurement portion (20A) and a second body surface temperature measurement portion (20B), a first reference temperature measurement portion (24A) and a second reference temperature measurement portion (24B), a third body surface temperature measurement portion (20C, 20D, 20E) to measure values at each position having a predetermined thermal resistance relative to a measurement a third temperature with a position different from the measurement positions of the first and second body surface values, a temperature correction portion (40) to correct a first body surface temperature, a first reference temperature, a second body surface temperature, and a second reference temperature by a third temperature; and a core body temperature calculation portion (42) to calculate a value of the object using the obtained corrected values of a first body surface temperature, a first reference temperature, a second body surface temperature, and a second reference temperature.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electronic clinical thermometer and a method for measuring body temperature. Background technique [0002] When measuring human body temperature, the thermometer needs to be stored under the tongue, underarms, rectum, etc., until the thermometer and body temperature are in temperature balance. These are places that reflect the internal temperature of the body called deep temperature, and are performed as general body temperature measurement. On the other hand, in a continuous deep clinical thermometer that is continuously worn on the body surface, there is a method in which a heater is installed, and the temperature at which the heat flow from the inside of the body, that is, the deep part, and the heat flow from the heater are equal is used as the deep body temperature. However, because the heater is installed, the power is increased, and the device is enlarged due to the need for control, and it cannot be used continuously in ...
