Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in Patent Document 1, although the purpose is to reduce the influence of body temperature by designing the position of the temperature sensor, there is a problem that, as long as it is worn on the body like a watch, it is impossible to eliminate the problem of the case or the sensor support portion. Effect of heat conduction on body temperature
In addition, in Patent Document 2, the outside air temperature cannot be accurately measured at the same time.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0042] Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0043] figure 1 It is a block diagram showing the configuration of an electronic thermometer as a temperature measuring device according to the present embodiment.

[0044] The electronic thermometer 2 of the present embodiment has: a thermometer main body 10, which is in contact with the body surface 4A of the human body 4 (refer to image 3 ) contact; In the present embodiment, since the display device 12 is formed separately from the thermometer main body 10 , weight reduction of the thermometer main body 10 that needs to be in contact with the surface of the human body 4 is promoted. Therefore, even if the thermometer main body 10 is in contact with the surface of the human body 4 for a long time, there is no burden, and continuous temperature monitoring for a long time can be realized.

[0045] figure 2 is an enlarged view showing a state where the thermometer main body 10 of this...

Embodiment 1

[0089] Figure 5 It is a figure which shows the thermometer main body 10 and the measurement result of this Example.

[0090] Next, in this embodiment, the measurement results obtained using the thermometer main body 10 will be described.

[0091] The measurement environment in this embodiment is as follows. As a set value, the outside air temperature is 25°C.

[0092] In addition, the temperature of the deep part of the human body 4 (below 10 mm) is 37° C., and the thermal conductivity is 0.3 (W / mK).

[0093] The temperature measurement parts 14A and 14B each have a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 50 mm. On the temperature measurement part 14A, from the body surface 4A side, a silicon material as the heat insulating part 18 with a thermal conductivity of 0.05 (W / mk) and a first heat dissipation control part 18A with a thermal conductivity of 0.01 (W / mk) are stacked. . On the temperature measurement part 14B, from the body surface 4A side, a silicon material as the h...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0097] Figure 6 It is a figure which shows the thermometer main body and the measurement result of this embodiment.

[0098] Such as Figure 6 As shown, the thermometer main body 50 of this embodiment has two (a pair) of temperature measurement parts 14A, 14B. The temperature measurement unit 14A has a first heat dissipation control unit 18A provided between the heat insulating units 18 . On the other hand, temperature measurement unit 14B has second heat dissipation control unit 18B provided between heat insulating units 18 . In addition, the structure, surface area, roughness, and the like of the contact surface of each heat insulating portion 18 with the outside air are configured such that the heat transfer coefficients h are equal. The temperature measurement unit 14A has an outside air sensor 25A that measures the temperature of the contact surface 23A of the heat insulating unit 18 with the outside air as the first outside air temperature. Moreover, the temperature...

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an invention patent application with an application date of April 1, 2011, an application number of 201110082539.2, and an invention title of "temperature measuring device and temperature measuring method". technical field [0002] The invention relates to a temperature measuring device and a temperature measuring method. Background technique [0003] In a portable temperature measuring device, particularly a watch-type temperature measuring device used in contact with a human body, the outside air temperature is detected by a temperature sensor provided inside the housing or on the outer periphery of the housing. However, conventional temperature measuring devices have a problem in that the temperature sensor is affected by body temperature via the casing when being carried or installed, and the outside air temperature cannot be accurately measured. [0004] By protruding the thermosensitive part from the case and provi...
