[0002] The surface of the mercury thermometer is made of glass, which is very easy to break. Once the mercury inside is accidentally spilled, it will cause physical harm to the nursing staff. There is a risk of the mercury thermometer being broken when the nursing staff measures the temperature of the agitated patient. The utility model patent with publication number CN209783752U discloses a new type of anti-fall thermometer. The device can provide effective buffering to the thermometer body when the thermometer falls horizontally by arranging a rubber shell on the outside of the thermometer body and filling a sponge board between the rubber shell and the thermometer body. The spring plate arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the thermometer can provide effective buffering to the thermometer body when the thermometer falls vertically, thereby effectively avoiding the rupture of the thermometer body and the outflow of mercury and causing accidental injuries to the human body. In addition, the device can increase the friction with the human body during measurement by evenly arranging annular anti-skid patterns on the outer surface of the rubber shell, so as to prevent the occurrence of injuries to the human body caused by the accidental slipping and breaking of the thermometer during measurement. However, the temperature measuring end of the thermometer is always exposed outside the rubber housing when not in use, and is easily contaminated, thereby causing cross infection of patients.
