Electronic thermometer

Abstract

The invention provides an electronic thermometer which can be easily kept under the armpit and can perform stable body temperature measurement. An electronic thermometer (1) is characterized by comprising: a temperature sensor (22) for detecting temperature; a calculation unit (30) that calculates a body temperature on the basis of a detection signal from the temperature sensor; a display unit (40) for displaying the body temperature calculated by the calculation unit; a vibration generation unit (50) that generates vibration; and a battery (60) that supplies power to the calculation unit, thedisplay unit, and the vibration generation unit, the electronic thermometer presenting that the measurement of the body temperature has been completed by the vibration generated by the vibration generation unit, the electronic thermometer having a shape of a length in a longitudinal direction that is longer than a width and a thickness, and the temperature sensor being disposed on one end side inthe longitudinal direction of the electronic thermometer. The vibration generation unit is disposed on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the electronic thermometer, and the displayunit and the battery are disposed so as to overlap in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction at a longitudinal position between the temperature sensor and the vibration generation unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic thermometer for measuring the body temperature of a living body. Background technique [0002] An electronic thermometer for measuring the body temperature of a living body generally has an elongated shape in which the length in the longitudinal direction is longer than the width and thickness. When measuring body temperature, one end portion in the longitudinal direction provided with a temperature sensor is clamped under the armpit of the person to be measured. [0003] Conventionally, as such an electronic thermometer, there is known a vibrating reminder type electronic thermometer, which has a temperature sensor for detecting temperature, a calculation unit for calculating body temperature based on a detection signal from the temperature sensor, a display unit for displaying the body temperature calculated by the calculation unit, A vibrating vibration generating part and a battery supplying power to t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0010] Therefore, the electronic thermometer of the vibrating reminder type is a heavy device, and there is a problem that it may be difficult to hold the electronic thermometer under the armpit when measuring body temperature, such as the elderly, who have weak muscle strength and little subcutaneous fat. , unable to measure body temperature stably
