Summary of the Invention

[0003] Design purpose: To avoid the deficiencies in the background technology, a temperature prediction method, a temperature continuous monitoring method, and a dual-temperature measuring temperature patch are designed, which can not only accurately measure the human body temperature in as fast as 3.5 minutes at the fastest, but also have higher matching and consistency between the monitoring data and the real data during the continuous monitoring use process, and at the same time have stronger anti-interference performance during the continuous monitoring process.

[0004] Design scheme: To achieve the above design purpose.

[0005] 1. Step 1: Stick the temperature patch on the armpit skin of the user. The main temperature sensor in the temperature patch can monitor the armpit epidermal temperature, and the secondary temperature sensor can monitor the armpit interstitial temperature. The main temperature sensor and the secondary temperature sensor can upload the measured temperature information to the controller in real time. Step 2: When the curvature value of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the main temperature sensor within the same time period is within the interval of the set curvature value of the main temperature sensor and the curvature value of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the secondary temperature sensor is within the interval of the set curvature value of the secondary temperature sensor, the controller starts to collect and save the temperature information uploaded by the main temperature sensor at regular intervals within the set time. Step 3: The controller compares and judges the temperature rise curve formed by each temperature information value collected within the set time with each group of standard temperature rise curves pre-stored in the database. After determining the group of standard temperature rise curves that is closest to this temperature rise curve, the controller outputs and displays the designed standard body temperature corresponding to this standard temperature rise curve, which is one of the technical features of the present invention. The purpose of this design is as follows: First, when the curvature value of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the main temperature sensor within the same time period is within the interval of the set curvature value of the main temperature sensor and the curvature value of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the secondary temperature sensor is within the interval of the set curvature value of the secondary temperature sensor, the controller starts to collect data for predicting the temperature, that is, the controller can accurately judge the data collection points for rapid temperature prediction in real time. This can not only shorten the entire temperature prediction time, but also improve the accuracy of the predicted temperature. At the same time, the real-time detection of the secondary temperature sensor can monitor the clamping state of the user before and during the process. Second, the controller compares and judges the temperature rise curve formed by each temperature information value collected within the set time with each group of standard temperature rise curves pre-stored in the database. After determining the group of standard temperature rise curves that is closest to this temperature rise curve, the controller outputs and displays the standard body temperature corresponding to this standard temperature rise curve. By comparing and judging the temperature rise curve and the standard temperature rise curve, that is, based on the change in the heating rate (the curvature of the temperature rise curve), the stable temperature can be predicted in advance (the controller can accurately predict the current temperature of the user in advance through the collection of effective temperature data within a certain time and the comparison of the temperature rise curve and the standard temperature rise curve). This greatly shortens the time for a single temperature measurement (when this measurement is used as the starting temperature measurement for the long-term monitoring of the user, then it will greatly shorten the starting temperature measurement time during the monitoring process, thereby shortening the entire monitoring and measurement time). In addition, this method uses multiple sensors to measure the temperature at different positions, supplemented by the ambient temperature, combines the data of multiple sensors, and uses the method of comparing and analyzing the temperature rise curve and the standard temperature rise curve. By excluding the interference data formed by the external environment on the body surface temperature, the human body temperature can be obtained more accurately.

[0006] 2. The design that the set time length for the controller to collect temperature information is 3 minutes and the interval time for collecting temperature information is 10 seconds is the second technical feature of the present invention. The purpose of this design is as follows: Through a large number of experiments, it is found that when the controller collects human body temperature data every 10 seconds within 3 minutes, the temperature rise curve formed by 18 consecutive rising temperature values can enable the controller to accurately predict the current body temperature of the detected person. Through a large number of repeated experiments, it is found that the error between the currently predicted temperature value locked after 3 minutes of countdown and the current actual temperature value is less than or equal to 0.2 °C, that is, rapid and accurate measurement is achieved.

[0007] 3. The design that the temperature patch stays at room temperature for more than 30 seconds and the room temperature is lower than 32 °C before the temperature patch is pasted is the third technical feature of the present invention. The purpose of this design is as follows: Before the temperature patch is pasted, the temperature patch stays at room temperature for more than 30 seconds and the room temperature is lower than 32 °C, which can avoid the interference of external factors on the temperature patch, thereby ensuring the accuracy of human body temperature detection; in addition, when the temperature patch is subjected to a single detection or the first detection of continuous monitoring, the time required for the entire process of completing a single detection or the first detection of continuous monitoring is the 30-second pre-treatment time of the temperature patch and the 3-minute locking prediction time. That is, using this body temperature prediction method, it only takes 3 and a half minutes at the fastest to achieve accurate detection of human body temperature.

[0008] 4. The design of collecting a set of standard temperature rise curve data every 0.5 °C in the human body temperature range of 35 °C - 40 °C, and collecting a set of standard temperature rise curve data every 1 °C in the human body temperature ranges of 33 °C - 35 °C and 40 °C - 42 °C is the fourth technical feature of the present invention. The purpose of this design is as follows: By collecting a set of standard temperature rise curve data every 0.5 °C in the human body temperature range of 35 °C - 40 °C, and collecting a set of standard temperature rise curve data every 1 °C in the human body temperature ranges of 33 °C - 35 °C and 40 °C - 42 °C, the standard temperature rise curves can be reasonably arranged, thereby improving the comparison and analysis speed between the temperature rise curve and the standard temperature rise curve.

[0009] 5. When at most one of the curvature values of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the main temperature sensor and the curvature value of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the secondary temperature sensor within the same time period is within the interval of the set curvature value, the design that the controller controls the warning device to give a warning is the fifth technical feature of the present invention. The purpose of such a design is that when at most one of the curvature values of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the main temperature sensor and the curvature value of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the secondary temperature sensor within the same time period is within the interval of the set curvature value, the controller controls the warning device to give a warning, which can ensure that the single detection or the first detection of continuous monitoring of the temperature patch is completed when the user is in the clamped state.

[0010] 6. After the controller calculates the predicted temperature, the user keeps the temperature patch in a relaxed state until the temperature detected by the temperature patch gradually drops back to the thermal equilibrium temperature when not clamped. After the detected temperature of the temperature patch reaches the thermal equilibrium temperature, the controller determines the current clamped state through the temperature curve of the secondary temperature sensor. Then, the controller makes a comparison and judgment by combining the current temperature detected by the main temperature sensor with the clamped state and the previous valid temperature value. When the ratio of the absolute value of the difference between the current temperature value and the previous valid temperature value to the previous valid temperature value is less than or equal to the pre-set ratio, the design that the controller outputs and displays the current temperature detected by the main temperature sensor is the sixth technical feature of the present invention. The purpose of such a design is that during the continuous detection of human body temperature, since the state of the person being detected changes at all times (the temperature patch pasted under the armpit detects the temperature of the armpit body surface. As the arm moves or the open state changes, the body surface will dissipate heat due to air flow, resulting in a drastic change in the body surface temperature, manifested as a large fluctuation in the temperature curve, and it is impossible to accurately determine the true body temperature). Then, the controller makes a comparison and judgment by combining the current temperature detected by the main temperature sensor with the clamped state and the previous valid temperature value, which can more truly reflect the change in the user's body temperature during continuous temperature measurement (the normal human body temperature will show a small fluctuation with the change of the environment, such as factors like morning and evening temperature differences).

[0011] 7. When the ratio between the absolute value of the difference between the current temperature value and the previous valid temperature value and the previous valid temperature value is greater than a preset ratio, the controller determines the previous valid temperature value as the current true temperature; or when the current temperature value is less than the previous valid temperature value, the controller uses the temperature value calculated by subtracting the product of the previous valid temperature value and the set ratio from the previous valid temperature value as the current true temperature, and when the current temperature value is greater than the previous valid temperature value, the controller uses the temperature value calculated by adding the product of the previous valid temperature value and the set ratio to the previous valid temperature value as the current true temperature. This design is the seventh technical feature of the present invention. The purpose of such a design is as follows: when the ratio between the absolute value of the difference between the current temperature value and the previous valid temperature value and the previous valid temperature value is greater than a preset ratio, the controller determines the previous valid temperature value as the current true temperature; or when the current temperature value is less than the previous valid temperature value, the controller uses the temperature value calculated by subtracting the product of the previous valid temperature value and the set ratio from the previous valid temperature value as the current true temperature, and when the current temperature value is greater than the previous valid temperature value, the controller uses the temperature value calculated by adding the product of the previous valid temperature value and the set ratio to the previous valid temperature value as the current true temperature. This can avoid interference from accidental external factors during the monitoring process; in addition, when the current temperature value is less than the previous valid temperature value, the controller uses the temperature value calculated by subtracting the product of the previous valid temperature value and the set ratio from the previous valid temperature value as the current true temperature, and when the current temperature value is greater than the previous valid temperature value, the controller uses the temperature value calculated by adding the product of the previous valid temperature value and the set ratio to the previous valid temperature value as the current true temperature. Such a calculation and value-taking method can better serve as a judgment basis for body temperature monitoring (more accurately find the time points when body temperature abnormalities occur, so as to facilitate the investigation of the factors causing body temperature abnormalities at these time points, and further achieve further analysis and research) during the subsequent analysis of the user's body temperature data throughout the monitoring process.

[0012] 8. The upper end surface of the bottom shell is provided with an adhesive, and the upper end surface of the adhesive is adhered with an FPC electronic component. The upper end surface of the FPC electronic component is provided with a middle support through an adhesive, and the upper end surface of the middle support is provided with a face shell through an adhesive. The design that a secondary temperature sensor is provided at the upper end of the middle support and the lower end surface of the flexible circuit board in the FPC electronic component is provided with a primary temperature sensor is the eighth technical feature of the present invention. The purpose of such design is as follows: First, the setting of the primary temperature sensor and the secondary temperature sensor in this body temperature patch measures the temperature at different positions, supplements with the ambient temperature, combines the data of multiple sensors, and uses the comparison and analysis method of the temperature rise curve and the standard temperature rise curve to exclude the interference data formed by the external environment on the body surface temperature, so as to quickly and accurately obtain the human body temperature. Second, the bottom shell, the face shell, the adhesive, the FPC electronic component, and the middle support in this body temperature patch are all made of flexible materials. After this body temperature patch is pasted on the skin under the human armpit, even if the user does some relatively strenuous exercises, the temperature patch can still be completely attached to the human skin. At the same time, the thickness of the temperature patch composed of the bottom shell, the face shell, the adhesive, the FPC electronic component, and the middle support is about 0.3 mm, so that the human body has better comfort during long-term use of the temperature patch. Third, the use of the middle support and the adhesive can not only effectively relieve the impact of external force on the FPC electronic component, but also after the FPC electronic component, the middle support, and the adhesive are connected, the middle support and the adhesive can play a certain supporting role for the FPC electronic component (which is relatively soft), avoiding the problems of local folding and stacking of the FPC electronic component during use. Fourth, the temperature patch has a simple structure, a reasonable layout, and good use stability, and is suitable for large-scale production and use.

[0013] 9. The design that a wire passing hole is opened on the upper end surface of the foam board is the ninth technical feature of the present invention. The purpose of such design is as follows: First, the secondary temperature sensor is located outside the foam board through the wire passing hole, so that the secondary temperature sensor can measure the temperature of the armpit gap of the human body more accurately. Second, the primary temperature sensor is located inside the foam board, so that the foam board can not only play a protective role for the primary temperature sensor, but also play a role of heat preservation and heat insulation for the primary temperature sensor.

[0014] 10. The design that a through hole penetrating the upper and lower end surfaces of the adhesive is opened on the upper end surface of the adhesive, and after the FPC electronic component is arranged on the upper end surface of the adhesive, the sensing head of the primary temperature sensor is located in the through hole is the tenth technical feature of the present invention. The purpose of such design is as follows: A through hole penetrating the upper and lower end surfaces of the adhesive is opened on the upper end surface of the adhesive. After the FPC electronic component is arranged on the upper end surface of the adhesive, the sensing head of the primary temperature sensor is located in the through hole. Due to the opening of the through hole, the primary temperature sensor can monitor the body surface temperature more sensitively.

[0015] Technical Solution 1: A body temperature prediction method, comprising a controller and a body temperature patch. The body temperature patch contains a main temperature sensor and a secondary temperature sensor. Step 1: Stick the body temperature patch on the armpit skin of the user, and the main temperature sensor in the body temperature patch can monitor the armpit epidermal temperature, and the secondary temperature sensor can monitor the armpit gap temperature. The main temperature sensor and the secondary temperature sensor can upload the measured temperature information to the controller in real time. Step 2: When the curvature value of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the main temperature sensor within the same time period is within the interval of the set curvature value of the main temperature sensor and the curvature value of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the secondary temperature sensor is within the interval of the set curvature value of the secondary temperature sensor, the controller starts to collect and save the temperature information uploaded by the main temperature sensor at regular intervals within the set time. Step 3: The controller compares and judges the temperature rise curve formed by each temperature information value collected within the set time with each group of standard temperature rise curves pre-stored in the database. After judging the group of standard temperature rise curves that is closest to the temperature rise curve, the controller will output and display the standard body temperature corresponding to the standard temperature rise curve.

[0016] Technical Solution 2: A body temperature continuous monitoring method, which includes the above-mentioned body temperature prediction method. After the controller calculates the predicted temperature, the user keeps the body temperature patch in a relaxed state until the temperature detected by the body temperature patch gradually drops to the thermal equilibrium temperature when not clamped. After the detected temperature of the body temperature patch reaches the thermal equilibrium temperature, the controller determines the current clamped state through the temperature curve of the secondary temperature sensor. Then, the controller compares and judges the current temperature detected by the main temperature sensor in combination with the clamped state and the previous valid temperature value. When the ratio of the absolute value of the difference between the current temperature value and the previous valid temperature value to the previous valid temperature value is less than or equal to the pre-set ratio, the controller outputs and displays the current temperature detected by the main temperature sensor.

[0017] Technical Solution 3: A dual-temperature body temperature patch, comprising a face shell, a bottom shell and an FPC electronic component. The upper end face of the bottom shell is provided with an adhesive, and the FPC electronic component is adhered to the upper end face of the adhesive. The upper end face of the FPC electronic component is provided with a middle support through an adhesive, and the face shell is provided on the upper end face of the middle support through an adhesive. A secondary temperature sensor is provided at the upper end of the middle support, and the signal output end of the secondary temperature sensor is connected to the signal input end of the control unit in the FPC electronic component. The main temperature sensor is provided on the lower end face of the flexible circuit board in the FPC electronic component, and the signal output end of the main temperature sensor is connected to the signal input end of the control unit in the FPC electronic component.

[0018] Compared with the background art, the present invention has the following advantages: First, the present invention uses dual temperature sensors. The main temperature sensor monitors the skin temperature under the armpit, and the secondary temperature sensor assists in monitoring the temperature in the armpit gap to calibrate the temperature error caused by the main temperature sensor due to improper clamping, thereby improving the temperature measurement accuracy of the present invention. Second, the present invention collects the continuously rising temperature under the human armpit and compares the calculated magnitude of the temperature rate change with a big data model to predict the stabilized temperature value within a short time. Third, the present invention uses a compensation algorithm during continuous monitoring. After reaching the stabilized human body temperature, the temperature change of the auxiliary sensor is used to calibrate the temperature compensation value of the main sensor, reducing the temperature error of the main sensor affected by the room temperature. Fourth, the body temperature patch of the present invention not only has a simple structure and reasonable layout, but also has better comfort for human use due to its thinner overall thickness.

[0023] Embodiment 1: Refer to the attached Figure 1 and Figure 2A body temperature prediction method includes a controller 100, a body temperature patch 200, and a gateway 300. The body temperature patch 200 contains a main temperature sensor 7 and a secondary temperature sensor 6. Step 1: The body temperature patch 200 is pasted on the armpit skin of the user, and the main temperature sensor 7 in the body temperature patch 200 can monitor the armpit epidermal temperature, and the secondary temperature sensor 6 can monitor the armpit interstitial temperature. The main temperature sensor 7 and the secondary temperature sensor 6 can upload the respective measured temperature information to the controller 100 in real time through the gateway 300. Step 2: When the curvature value of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the main temperature sensor 7 within the same time period is within the interval of the set curvature value of the main temperature sensor and the curvature value of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the secondary temperature sensor 6 is within the interval of the set curvature value of the secondary temperature sensor, the controller 100 starts to collect and save the temperature information uploaded by the main temperature sensor 7 at regular intervals within the set time. Step 3: The controller 100 compares and judges the temperature rise curve formed by each temperature information value collected within the set time with each group of standard temperature rise curves pre-stored in the database. The controller 100 calculates the curvature of several curve segments on the temperature rise curve, and at the same time, the controller 100 calculates the curvature of the corresponding curve segments (i.e., the curve segments in the same time period) on the standard temperature rise curve. After judging the group of standard temperature rise curves that is closest to the temperature rise curve, the controller 100 will output and display the standard body temperature corresponding to the standard temperature rise curve. The standard temperature rise curve is a parabola, and the X-axis in the coordinate system is the time axis, the Y-axis is the temperature axis, the o point in the coordinate system is the starting point, and the standard temperature rise curve is the part where X≥0 and Y≥0 in the parabola. According to the heat conduction equation, for multiple objects with exactly the same material structure, they move from the environmental temperature A to the environmental temperature B in exactly the same way and finally reach the equilibrium temperature C. The time taken for these objects to reach the equilibrium temperature C during the whole process can be considered the same (almost the same), that is, the experiment is reproducible. And when other factors are exactly the same, the time required to reach the equilibrium temperature C only depends on the temperature difference. Based on the above principle, the body temperature patch 200 at room temperature A is quickly placed on the armpit human body temperature B of the person to be measured and clamped, and the body temperature of the person to be measured is B. The various temperature values measured by the body temperature patch 200 during the process of reaching the equilibrium temperature C (arranged from front to back according to time points) are continuously rising, and the temperature rise curve formed by these temperature values is a parabola (the part where X≥0 and Y≥0 in the parabola), that is, it gradually tends to be stable and the temperature rise rate becomes slower and slower. When the armpit human body temperature B of the person to be measured is different (other conditions remain the same), the obtained temperature rise curves are different (i.e., the curvatures of the temperature rise curves are different). The main temperature sensor 7 and the secondary temperature sensor 6 are both NTC thermistors.

[0024] The set time length for the controller 100 to collect temperature information is 3 minutes, and the interval time for collecting temperature information is 10 seconds; the temperature information collected by the controller 100 is one temperature value, or the temperature information collected by the controller 100 is multiple consecutive temperature values. When the temperature information is multiple consecutive temperature values, the average value calculated by the controller 100 from the multiple consecutive temperature values is used as the temperature value for storage. In actual use, the curve segment used by the controller 100 to calculate the curvature is the curve segment formed by the currently collected temperature information value and the other 5 temperature information values collected within 1 minute before this current temperature information value, and these 6 temperature information values must be continuously rising in temperature. The curve formed by these 6 temperature information values should ensure that at least 4 temperature information values are located on this curve segment.

[0025] Before the body temperature patch 200 is pasted, the body temperature patch 200 is at room temperature for more than 30 seconds and the room temperature is lower than 32°C; the data collection of the standard temperature rise curve needs to meet the following conditions. For the same or the same group of tested persons in the same environment on the same day, the same or the same group of tested persons are detected by a high-precision thermometer and the detected room temperature is controlled below 32°C. The high-precision thermometer is an existing thermometer.

[0026] Data collection of the standard temperature rise curve is carried out every 0.5°C within the human body temperature range of 35°C - 40°C, and data collection of the standard temperature rise curve is carried out every 1°C within the human body temperature ranges of 33°C - 35°C and 40°C - 42°C; the high-precision thermometer takes a reading every 10 seconds and records the reading, and the continuous temperature measurement time is 3 minutes. In the same environment, temperature data is collected by the high-precision thermometer at regular intervals for different human body temperatures, and a standard temperature rise curve is formed from the data collected during the continuous temperature measurement time. For example, when the human body temperature is 36°C, the high-precision thermometer is used to collect data from the high-precision thermometer every 10 seconds within 3 minutes, and a standard temperature rise curve a is formed based on these data. When the human body temperature is 36.5°C, the high-precision thermometer is used to collect data from the high-precision thermometer every 10 seconds within 3 minutes, and a standard temperature rise curve b is formed based on these data. When the human body temperature is 37°C, the high-precision thermometer is used to collect data from the high-precision thermometer every 10 seconds within 3 minutes, and a standard temperature rise curve c is formed based on these data. In this way, a human body temperature compensation table with a range of 33°C - 42°C is made and input into the database for use as comparison standard data.

[0027] When at most only one of the curvature values of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the main temperature sensor 7 and the curvature value of the continuous temperature rise curve formed by the temperature measured by the secondary temperature sensor 6 within the same time period is within the set curvature value interval, the controller 100 will control the warning device to give a warning.

[0028] The temperature patch 200 includes a temperature sensor module composed of a main temperature sensor 7 and a secondary temperature sensor 6, a button module, a power supply module, a Bluetooth module, and an MCU. The gateway 300 includes a button module, a power supply module, a Bluetooth module, a WiFi module, and an MCU. The controller 100 can be a computer installed with software required for body temperature detection. The temperature patch 200 can wirelessly transmit the detected temperature information to the controller 100 through the gateway 300. By adopting the Bluetooth communication and temperature sensing technologies of the present invention, a method for continuously detecting the human body temperature once or multiple times in a reliable wireless transmission manner is proposed. The body temperature data is displayed and stored in real time at the Internet end, which can be used for data analysis, medical diagnosis, etc., simplifies the existing medical care process, and enables more intelligent management. Through cloud computing big data analysis, it can also assist doctors in pathological analysis and case archiving.

[0029] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1. A method for continuous body temperature monitoring, which includes the body temperature prediction method described in at least one of Claims 1-5. After the controller 100 calculates the predicted temperature, the user keeps the temperature patch 200 in a relaxed state until the temperature detected by the temperature patch 200 gradually drops back to the thermal equilibrium temperature when not clamped (this relaxation time is about 20 minutes). After the detected temperature of the temperature patch 200 reaches the thermal equilibrium temperature, the controller 100 determines the current clamped state through the temperature curve of the secondary temperature sensor 6. Then, the controller 100 compares and judges the current temperature detected by the main temperature sensor 7 in combination with the clamped state and the previous valid temperature value. When the ratio of the absolute value of the difference between the current temperature value and the previous valid temperature value to the previous valid temperature value is less than or equal to a pre-set ratio, the controller 100 outputs and displays the current temperature detected by the main temperature sensor 7. When the ratio of the absolute value of the difference between the current temperature value and the previous valid temperature value to the previous valid temperature value is greater than the pre-set ratio, the controller 100 determines the previous valid temperature value as the current real temperature.

[0030] For example, after the detected temperature of the temperature patch reaches the thermal equilibrium temperature and the controller determines that the current temperature patch is in the clamped state through the temperature curve of the secondary temperature sensor (this is a heavy clamp, and at this time the temperature of the temperature patch 200 is higher than the room temperature), the controller first calculates the absolute value of the difference between the current temperature value detected by the main temperature sensor and the previous valid temperature value. Then, the controller calculates the ratio of this absolute value to the previous valid temperature value. When the ratio of the two is less than or equal to the set ratio, it is determined that the current body temperature is the real temperature.

[0031] Embodiment 3: On the basis of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2. When the current temperature value is less than the previous valid temperature value, the controller 100 calculates the current true temperature by subtracting the temperature value calculated by multiplying the previous valid temperature value by the set ratio from the previous valid temperature value. When the current temperature value is greater than the previous valid temperature value, the controller 100 calculates the current true temperature by adding the temperature value calculated by multiplying a valid temperature value by the set ratio to the previous valid temperature value.

[0032] For example, after the detected temperature of the temperature patch reaches the thermal equilibrium temperature and the controller determines that the current temperature patch is in a clamped state through the temperature curve of the auxiliary temperature sensor, the controller first calculates the absolute value of the difference between the current temperature value detected by the main temperature sensor and the previous valid temperature value. Then the controller calculates the ratio between the absolute value and the previous valid temperature value. When the ratio of the two is greater than or equal to the set ratio, the temperature value calculated by the above calculation method is used as the current true temperature.

After the FPC electronic component 3 is arranged on the upper end surface of the adhesive tape 4, the sensing head of the auxiliary temperature sensor 6 is located in the through hole 41. A switch button 8 is arranged on the front shell 1. Both the front shell 1 and the bottom shell 2 are made of foamed TPU material. The shrinkage rate of the foamed TPU is less than 8% and the density of the foamed TPU is 0.32 g / cm³ - 0.38 g / cm³.
