Problems solved by technology

However, this linear electronic thermometer has a prominent problem: since a bulky body is added to the detector terminal, these extra burdens and masses increase the internal moment, making it difficult for the patient to hold the tip of the thermometer under the tongue

Embodiment Construction

[0031] Each figure will be described in detail below. First look at Figure 1. A digital thermometer that is particularly suitable for measuring oral temperature is set to 21. The digital thermometer 21 in the figure includes a body 22, a temperature sensing tip 23, a detector 24 and a sensor located on the body 22. The display 25 and the switch 26 are manually operated to turn the digital thermometer 21 on or off. For example, the switch 26 may take the form of a button.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 6, the detector 24 has a front end or temperature sensing end 23 and an end 33 attached to the fuselage 22, as shown in the rear part 30 of the fuselage. The temperature sensing end 23 is preferably made of a metal tip, so as to better transfer heat to the internal temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is a thermistor. The middle portion 28 of the detector 24 traverses between the front end 23 and the terminal 33. This part is non-linear. For example, the middle portion 28 may be cur...

Abstract

A digital thermometer with enhanced conformity to the anatomy, such as in and around the mouth of a human being. A non-linear probe has a temperature sensor at a first end adapted to be inserted into the mouth and under the tongue, and a downwardly disposed housing portion at the second end. An intermediate portion of the probe is shaped to rest on the lower lip and / or teeth. The probe can be rotatably or pivotally attached to the housing to protect the probe by being recessed in the housing when not in use and / or to adjust to any size mouth. A plurality of ribs at the intermediate portion of the probe can be included to contact the lips and / or teeth for greater positional stability of the thermometer. A display component displays the measured temperature. Electronic circuitry receives a temperature signal from the temperature sensor, translates the signal into a value representative of the measured temperature, and provides the translated value to the display for displaying the temperature.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an electronic instrument for measuring the temperature of a living body, and more specifically, a digital thermometer that has a high degree of consistency with the structure of the human body, especially in and around the oral cavity. Background technique [0002] The conventional mercury thermometer has been the standard instrument for measuring temperature for centuries. In fact, people all over the world know this. The structure of the mercury thermometer is as follows: a hollow glass rod with a mercury bubble at one end, and a temperature scale is marked along the glass rod. The usual method of use is to insert a mercury thermometer into a person's mouth for temperature measurement. [0003] Obviously, errors will occur when reading the temperature value. Therefore, the correct use of thermometers and accurate readings require careful and professional skills. [0004] From the patient's point of view, this kin...
