Electronic clinical thermometer

Abstract

In the power-on state, monitor whether the power switch (15) is pressed (ST1). When not pressed, continue to monitor whether it is pressed or not. When it is determined that the power switch (15) has been pressed, it is monitored whether the power switch (15) has been continuously pressed for more than 2 seconds (ST2). When judging that the power switch (15) is not pressed continuously for more than 2 seconds, return to ST1 and continue to monitor whether the power switch (15) is pressed. When it is judged that the power switch (15) has been continuously pressed for 2 seconds or more, the power off process is started (ST3).

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to an electronic thermometer, in particular to the prevention of misoperation in the measurement of the electronic thermometer. Background technique: [0002] As electronic thermometers for measuring body temperature, there have been proposed contact thermometers that measure body temperature by contacting a temperature-sensing portion with a body measurement site (armpit, under the tongue, etc.), or non-contact thermometers that measure heat radiation from the eardrum, etc. Generally, a contact thermometer consists of: a pen-like slender body; a temperature sensing part provided at the front end of the body; a display on the side of the body for displaying measurement results; a power switch arranged at the back or side of the body; The control unit for temperature, calculation, etc. is constituted. [0003] In this kind of electronic thermometer, the most common place to be measured is the armpit, and the user places the elect...

Problems solved by technology

The problem is that the user needs to place the electronic thermometer in a place that cannot be seen on the inside of the clothes and touch it with the armpit, especially if children change their posture during the measurement, they may mistakenly press the power switch and cut off the power

[0005] However, in the technology disclosed in the Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-29790, although it is possible to avoid the misoperation when inserting and taking out the armpit with the electronic thermometer by hand, it is left to accidentally touch the switch button when measuring on the inside of the clothes and cut off the power supply. The problem

[0006] In addition, in the technique disclosed in JP 7-44986, the power cut-off can be avoided because no switch operated by the user is provided, but there is a problem that the electronic thermometer cannot be cut off without a case because the structure of the electronic thermometer is too complicated.
