Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermometers, in particular to a new type of thermometer. Background Art
[0002] A human thermometer, also known as a thermometer, is a tool for measuring the body temperature of humans and animals. Mercury thermometers are widely used due to their ease of use and high accuracy. However, using mercury thermometers for temperature monitoring is inconvenient and poses a significant risk of mercury contamination. To accurately measure local body temperature, various temperature measurement instruments and methods have been developed. Many hospitals now use electronic thermometers, and other electronic instruments are also becoming increasingly popular. In hospitals, nurses frequently take patients' temperatures daily for colds and fevers. Frequent use of mercury thermometers can easily damage them, making their use hazardous. Frequent use of electronic thermometers can lead to reduced accuracy when the battery level is low. Nurses often need to replace or recharge a low-battery electronic thermometer during care. This can lead to delayed diagnosis or inadequate care when timely temperature measurements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0018] Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0019] Reference Figure 1-4A new type of thermometer, including a thermometer body 1, an electronic temperature measuring component and a mercury temperature measuring component, the two ends of the thermometer body 1 are symmetrical truncated cones, and the two ends of the thermometer body 1 are provided with rubber sleeves. The electronic temperature measuring component includes an electronic temperature measuring tube 7, a rubber column 71 at the tail end of the electronic temperature measuring tube and a metal probe 72 at the front end. The electronic temperature measuring tube 7 gradually becomes thinner from the tail end to the front end. One end of the thermometer body 1 is provided with an inwardly extending rubber column cavity 6 and a limiting ring 61 is provided at the cavity mouth of the rubber column cavity 6. The rubber column 71 is movably arranged in the rubber column cavity 6. The mercury temperature measuring component includes a glass tube 4, a mercury accommodating metal head 42 and a limiting glass plate 41. A thin vacuum line cavity is provided on the axis of the glass tube 4. The front end of the glass tube 4 becomes thinner and at the end It is provided with a mercury-containing metal head 42, the inner cavity of the mercury-containing metal head 42 is communicated with the thin vacuum line cavity, the tail end of the glass tube 4 is provided with a limiting glass plate 41 and a rubber ring is provided on the limiting glass plate 41, the other end of the thermometer body 1 is provided with a tube socket extending inward and a glass plate movable cavity 3 communicating with one end of the tube socket is provided in the thermometer body 1, the limiting glass plate 41 is covered with a rubber ring and then plugged into the glass plate movable cavity 3 and the glass tube is movable through the tube socket, the two rubber sleeves are covered with rubber sleeves 5, a control box 2 is provided in the thermometer body 1 and a power supply component is provided on the control box 2, a display screen 11 and a start button 12 are provided on the surface of the thermometer body 1, and the display screen 11 and the start button 12 are electrically connected to the control board in the control box 2.
[0020] When not in use, push the rubber column 71 into the rubber column cavity 6, and the metal probe 72 is just at the cavity opening of the rubber column cavity 6, and then put on the rubber sleeve 5. Even if the metal probe 72 moves and hits the rubber sleeve 5, it will not be damaged. Similarly, insert the glass tube 4 inward, and place the limiting glass plate 41 against the tail end of the glass plate movable cavity 3, and then put on the rubber sleeve 5. The rubber sleeve 5 also plays a protective role.
[0021] Normally, measurements are mainly performed with an electronic thermometer (a temperature sensing head is provided in the metal probe 72, which is the same as the prior art, except that the electronic temperature measuring tube can be pulled out and electrically connected to the control board in the control box with a soft wire). When the display is weak or there is an error in the measurement accuracy, the electronic temperature measuring component can be temporarily stored and the mercury temperature measuring component can be used for emergency temperature measurement, and the battery can be replaced later.
[0022] To use the mercury temperature measuring assembly, remove the rubber sleeve 5 and place the mercury containing metal head 42 downward. At this time, the glass tube 4 will fall and be exposed. Then pull it outward for a distance to lock the limit glass plate 41, and then measure the body temperature in the same way as a mercury thermometer.
[0023] The rubber column cavity 6 and the glass plate movable cavity 3 are both tapered toward the ends of the thermometer body 1 . The inner diameters of the rubber column cavity 6 and the glass plate movable cavity 3 at the ends are 2-3 mm smaller than the inner diameters at other positions.

[0026] The flexible wire having a certain length is convenient for pulling the electronic temperature measuring tube 7 and can also realize electrical connection.
[0027] The frustum at both ends of the thermometer body 1 is marked with an electronic temperature measuring end and a mercury temperature measuring end respectively.
[0028] Since the structures of the two ends are the same, you can quickly find which end is the electronic measurement end and which end is the mercury measurement end by looking at the markings.
[0029] The power supply assembly includes multiple button batteries 8 and a locking bolt column 9. A bolt column groove is provided on the wall of the thermometer body 1. A button battery compartment connected to the bolt column groove is provided below the bolt column groove. A spring connected to the positive pole of the button battery 8 is provided at the bottom of the button battery compartment. The side wall of the bolt column groove is a metal wall. The locking bolt column 9 is a conductive metal block. The spring and the metal wall serve as the positive pole and the negative pole respectively and are connected to the control board in the control box 2 through a wire.
[0030] Place the button battery with the positive pole facing downwards into the button battery compartment, place three pieces (4 or 5 pieces can be set as needed), screw the locking bolt column 9 into the bolt column groove, press it against the negative pole of the top button battery, and press it down to make it conductive and energized.
[0031] The outer wall of the middle part of the thermometer body 1 is covered with a non-slip rubber sleeve, which is convenient to take and will not slip even when the palms are sweaty.
[0032] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
