Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of body temperature measuring instruments, and in particular to an ear-hook type body temperature measuring instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Body temperature, as one of the important physiological indicators of the human body, is of vital importance for the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of diseases. Long-term body temperature monitoring is urgently needed in a variety of scenarios, such as in hospital wards, where postoperative patients, patients with infectious diseases and patients with low immunity need to continuously monitor changes in body temperature in order to detect fluctuations in their condition in a timely manner.

[0003] Existing methods of body temperature measurement have many inconveniences in long-term temperature monitoring. Mercury thermometers require prolonged placement under the armpit or in the mouth, making operation cumbersome and difficult to obtain accurate data for uncooperative patients. They also pose a safety hazard of mercury leakage. While traditional electronic thermometers offer improved measurement speed, they still require handheld use or fixation to a specific location, restricting patient freedom of movement and making them unsuitable for long-term temperature monitoring. Existing ear-hook thermometers offer a more convenient method, but they rely solely on the ear hook to achieve measurement, resulting in poor stability. During long-term temperature monitoring, patients inevitably move or lie down, causing the temperature probe to easily shift, leading to inaccurate data and failing to meet the requirements of data reliability and continuity for long-term temperature monitoring.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an ear-hook type body temperature measuring instrument to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an ear-hook type body temperature measuring instrument to solve the problem that during long-term body temperature monitoring, the temperature measuring probe is easily displaced due to the patient's physical activity or lying position, resulting in inaccurate temperature measurement data and failing to meet the requirements of data reliability and continuity for long-term body temperature monitoring.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An ear-hook type body temperature measuring device includes a connecting part, two symmetrically arranged connecting parts, an ear hook fixed to the top of each of the two connecting parts, a rotating part at the bottom of each of the two connecting parts, a neck hook connected between the bottom ends of the two rotating parts, and a temperature measuring probe fixed to the inner side of each of the two connecting parts; an auxiliary component, which assists the temperature measuring probe in ear-hook temperature measurement, and is connected to the ear hook.

[0008] Optionally, the auxiliary component includes an ear-attaching part fixed to the outside of the ear hook, the contour of the ear-attaching part matching the contour of the antihelix groove of the ear, an abutting part fixed to one end of the ear hook away from the connecting part, an ear support part provided at the top of the abutting part, and the contour of the ear support part matching the contour of the concha ridge of the ear.

[0009] Optionally, an ear-filling part is fixed inside the connecting part, and one side of the ear-filling part is fixed to the temperature measuring probe.

[0010] Optionally, the contour of the filling part matches the contour of the concha cavity of the ear.

[0011] Optionally, the temperature probe is tilted.

[0012] Optionally, a first magnetic attraction part is fixed on one side of the rotating part, and a second magnetic attraction part is fixed on one side of the abutting part, and the first magnetic attraction part and the second magnetic attraction part are magnetically connected.

[0013] Optionally, a first pulse oximeter is fixed inside the first magnetic suction part, and a second pulse oximeter is fixed inside the second magnetic suction part, with the first pulse oximeter and the second pulse oximeter corresponding to each other.

[0014] Optionally, the rotating part is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting part, and the two rotating parts are magnetically connected.

[0015] Optionally, it also includes a storage box, which has a placement slot and a cable management slot inside. The placement slot and the cable management slot are connected. The neck hanger is located in the cable management slot. The connecting part, the ear hanger, the rotating part, the ear-filling part, and the temperature probe are all located in the placement slot.

[0016] Optionally, a disinfection lamp is fixed in the placement slot, and the disinfection lamp is located directly below the temperature measuring probe.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] In the above solution, by setting up auxiliary components connected to the ear loop, the temperature probe can be fixed from multiple directions, which helps to reduce the displacement of the temperature probe caused by the patient's body shaking or head turning, thereby effectively enhancing the stability of the temperature probe during long-term body temperature monitoring and ensuring that accurate body temperature data can be continuously obtained.

[0019] By designing both the ear-mounted and ear-support parts, the temperature probe is doubly secured, making its fixation on the ear more stable and reliable. This further enhances the stability of temperature measurement, thereby improving accuracy. At the same time, it disperses pressure on the user's ear, preventing excessive squeezing or friction and providing a more comfortable wearing experience.

[0020] By setting up a first magnetic suction part and a second magnetic suction part, as well as a first blood oxygen detection head and a second blood oxygen detection head, multiple fixation of the temperature probe is formed while blood oxygen saturation detection of the earlobe area can be performed. By simultaneously monitoring the user's body temperature and blood oxygen saturation parameters, doctors can more accurately judge the severity and development trend of the patient's condition.

[0021] By setting two magnetically connected rotating parts, the contact between the temperature probe and the body or clothing can be effectively reduced, lowering the risk of damage to the temperature probe due to collisions or squeezing, and also keeping the temperature probe clean.

[0022] By installing disinfection lamps, temperature probes can be disinfected, reducing the risk of cross-infection and ensuring the health and safety of users. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can adjust or modify these devices and environments according to specific needs. Detailed Implementation

[0032] The ear-hook type body temperature measuring device provided by this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should also be noted that, in order to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art can also use other alternative methods to implement some known technologies; moreover, the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0033] It should be noted that the use of terms such as "an embodiment," "an embodiment," "an exemplary embodiment," and "some embodiments" in the specification indicates that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments (whether explicitly described or not) should be within the knowledge of those skilled in the art.

[0034] Generally, terms can be understood at least partly from their use in context. For example, depending at least partly on the context, the term "one or more" as used herein can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic in a singular sense, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics in a plural sense. Additionally, the term "based on" can be understood not necessarily to convey an exclusive set of factors, but rather, alternatively, depending at least partly on the context, to allow for the presence of other factors that are not necessarily explicitly described.

[0035] It is understood that the meanings of “on”, “above”, and “above” in this utility model should be interpreted in the broadest manner, such that “on” not only means “directly on” something, but also includes the meaning of being “on” something with an intervening feature or layer, and that “above” or “above” not only means “on” something, but also includes the meaning of being “on” something without an intervening feature or layer.

[0036] Furthermore, spatially related terms such as “below,” “under,” “lower,” “above,” and “upper” are used herein for convenience to describe the relationship of one element or feature to one or more other elements or features, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

The device may be oriented in other ways, and the spatially related descriptive terms used herein can be interpreted similarly.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides an ear-hook type body temperature measuring device, including connecting parts 5, two of which are symmetrically arranged. Each connecting part 5 has an ear hook 6 fixed to its top end and a rotating part 8 at its bottom end. A neck hook 17 is connected to the bottom end of each rotating part 8. A temperature probe 14 is fixed to the inner side of each connecting part 5. In use, the ear hook 6 directly contacts the user's ear for initial fixation, aligning the temperature probe 14 inside the connecting part 5 with the user's ear canal. The temperature probe 14 is an infrared sensor that can sense the temperature of the skin surface, convert it into an electrical signal, and output it for display, thus completing the body temperature measurement. Infrared sensor body temperature measurement is a well-established and publicly available technology, which will not be elaborated upon here. A temperature indicator light is provided on the side of each connecting part 5 that is far apart from each other. When the user's body temperature is normal, the temperature indicator light displays a normal reading. The green indicator light turns red when the user's body temperature exceeds the normal range, facilitating intuitive observation of the patient's temperature. This part is disclosed as prior art and will not be elaborated further here. The neck hook 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two rotating parts 8, forming a support structure that surrounds the neck and also serves to connect the two temperature probes 14. The auxiliary component assists the temperature probe 14 in ear-hook temperature measurement. The auxiliary component is connected to the ear hook 6 and, by increasing the contact area and friction with the ear, can provide auxiliary fixation for the temperature probe 14 from multiple directions, further enhancing the fixation effect of the temperature probe 14. This helps reduce the displacement of the temperature probe 14 caused by the patient's body shaking or head rotation, thereby effectively enhancing the stability of the temperature probe 14 during long-term body temperature monitoring and ensuring the continuous acquisition of accurate body temperature data.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the auxiliary component includes an ear-attaching part 16 fixed to the outside of the ear hook 6. The contour of the ear-attaching part 16 matches the contour of the antihelix groove of the ear. An abutment part 7 is fixed to the end of the ear hook 6 away from the connecting part 5. An ear support part 15 is provided at the top of the abutment part 7. The contour of the ear support part 15 matches the contour of the concha ridge of the ear. The antihelix groove is a relatively obvious concave structure of the ear. The ear-attaching part 16 matches the contour of the antihelix groove of the ear and can be embedded in the antihelix groove, so that the temperature probe 14 is tightly combined with the ear. This further increases the fixation effect of the temperature probe 14 in the ear and effectively prevents the temperature probe 14 from slipping or shifting due to head shaking or body movement during long-term temperature measurement, ensuring the temperature measurement stability of the temperature probe 14. The concha ridge is a protruding structure of the ear. The contour of the ear support part 15 matches the contour of the concha ridge of the ear and can... The ear rest 16 is positioned to support the concha ridge, providing an additional support point for the temperature probe 14. The ear rest 16 is embedded in the antihelix groove, and the ear support 15 supports the concha ridge, forming a double fixation for the temperature probe 14. This makes the temperature probe 14 more secure and reliable in the ear, further enhancing the stability of temperature measurement and thus improving the accuracy of temperature measurement. At the same time, because the ear rest 16 matches the contour of the antihelix groove, it can evenly distribute the pressure of the ear hook 6 on the ear, avoiding ear pain and discomfort caused by pressure concentrated in one point or a small area. Even after long-term wear, it can make the user feel more comfortable. The ear support 15 matches the contour of the concha ridge, naturally conforming to the ear curve without causing excessive pressure or friction on the ear, providing a more comfortable wearing experience for the user.

[0039] It should be noted that the ear-attachment part 16 is flexible and may be made of silicone. The ear support part 15 is also coated with a silicone layer to reduce irritation to the ear skin and provide users with a more comfortable wearing experience.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an ear pad 13 is fixed inside the connecting part 5. One side of the ear pad 13 is fixed to the temperature probe 14. The outline of the ear pad 13 matches the outline of the concha cavity, which enables the temperature probe 14 to be accurately positioned in the concha cavity. When the ear pad 13 is in contact with the concha cavity, the temperature probe 14 is also fixed in a relatively stable position. During long-term body temperature monitoring, even if the user has slight body movements, the ear pad 13 can play a certain role in fixing it, further preventing the temperature probe 14 from shifting or loosening, ensuring continuous good contact between the temperature probe 14 and the ear skin, thereby obtaining stable and reliable body temperature data.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the temperature probe 14 is tilted, and the tilting method of the temperature probe 14 can be referenced to that of an otoscope, so that the temperature probe 14 can extend along the curve of the ear, covering a wider temperature-sensitive area, thereby obtaining more accurate human body temperature information. At the same time, the tilting angle of the temperature probe 14, which is similar to that of an otoscope, can distribute pressure to a larger ear contact surface, reducing local pressure. Just as an otoscope enters the ear canal at a suitable tilt angle, it will not cause excessive pressure on the ear canal. In this way, users will feel more comfortable when monitoring their body temperature for a long time, which increases the acceptance of the body temperature measuring device.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first magnetic suction part 9 is fixed to one side of the rotating part 8, and a second magnetic suction part 12 is fixed to one side of the abutting part 7. The first magnetic suction part 9 and the second magnetic suction part 12 are magnetically connected. A first blood oxygen detection head 10 is fixed inside the first magnetic suction part 9, and a second blood oxygen detection head 11 is fixed inside the second magnetic suction part 12. The first blood oxygen detection head 10 and the second blood oxygen detection head 11 correspond to each other. The first magnetic suction part 9 and the second magnetic suction part 12 correspond to the two sides of the user's earlobe, so that the rotating part 8 and the abutting part 7 can abut against the two sides of the user's earlobe, and cooperate with the ear-attaching part 16 described above to embed into the antihelix groove, supporting the ear. The part 15 supports the concha bulge and the ear-filling part 13 fits into the concha, forming multiple fixations for the temperature probe 14. This makes the temperature probe 14 more secure and reliable in the ear, further enhancing the stability of temperature measurement and thus improving the accuracy of temperature measurement. When the first magnetic part 9 and the second magnetic part 12 are magnetically connected, the first blood oxygen detection head 10 and the second blood oxygen detection head 11 can also simultaneously detect the blood oxygen saturation of the earlobe. By simultaneously monitoring the user's body temperature and blood oxygen saturation parameters, doctors can more accurately determine the severity and development trend of the patient's condition.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the rotating part 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting part 5. The two rotating parts 8 are magnetically connected. During the pause in the long-term temperature measurement process, the ear hook 6 along with the temperature probe 14 is removed from the ear. After the temperature probe 14 is removed from the ear, the ear hook 6 will hang down on the user's neck under the connection of the neck hook 17. In order to keep the temperature probe 14 clean and avoid damage, the two rotating parts 8 are rotated 180° and then magnetically fixed together, so that the temperature probe 14 is flipped to face opposite sides. Under the connection of the neck hook 17, the two temperature probes 14 are placed away from the user's body, which can effectively reduce the contact between the temperature probe 14 and the body and clothing, reduce the risk of damage to the temperature probe 14 due to collision and squeezing, and keep the temperature probe 14 clean.

[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ear-hook thermometer also includes a storage box 1. The storage box 1 has a placement slot 2 and a cable management slot 3, which are connected. The neck hook 17 is located in the cable management slot 3. The connecting part 5, the ear hook 6, the rotating part 8, the ear-filling part 13, and the temperature probe 14 are all located in the placement slot 2, which ensures the orderly storage of the ear-hook thermometer. This not only makes it convenient for users to carry and take it, but also protects the connecting part 5, the ear hook 6, the rotating part 8, the ear-filling part 13, and the temperature probe 14.

[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a disinfection lamp 4 is fixed in the placement slot 2. The disinfection lamp 4 is located directly below the temperature probe 14. When the body temperature measuring instrument is stored in the storage box 1, the disinfection lamp 4 can disinfect the temperature probe 14. This part is disclosed as prior art and will not be described in detail here. The temperature probe 14 will come into direct contact with human skin during use and is easily contaminated with bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. The irradiation by the disinfection lamp 4 can reduce the risk of cross-infection and protect the health and safety of users.

[0046] The workflow of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0047] When in use, open the storage box 1, hold the connecting part 5 to take out the body temperature measuring device, hang the ear hook 6 on the upper ear root of the user's ears, gently insert the ear plug 13 into the concha cavity, so that the temperature measuring probe 14 enters the ear canal and approaches the eardrum, rotate the rotating part 8, so that the first magnetic part 9 and the second magnetic part 12 are respectively attached to the two sides of the earlobe, the temperature measuring probe 14 is turned on to measure the temperature, and the first blood oxygen detection head 10 and the second blood oxygen detection head 11 simultaneously measure the blood oxygen saturation of the earlobe area.

[0048] When a short pause is needed during long-term temperature measurement, remove the temperature probe 14 from the ear, rotate the two rotating parts 8 180° and then magnetically fix them together. At this time, under the connection of the neck hanging part 17, the temperature probe 14 will flip to face opposite sides, and the two temperature probes 14 will be placed away from the user's body.

[0049] When it is necessary to continue measuring body temperature, rotate the rotating part 8 back to its original position, release the magnetic fixation, readjust the position of the temperature probe 14 to ensure that it is in stable contact with the ear, and then operate according to the above measurement steps.

[0050] After use, place the connecting part 5, the ear loop 6, the rotating part 8, the ear-filling part 13, and the temperature probe 14 into the placement slot 2, ensuring that all parts are placed neatly and orderly. Organize the neck loop 17 and place it into the cable management slot 3 of the storage box 1 to prevent the neck loop 17 from getting tangled. Close the storage box 1 and turn on the disinfection lamp 4 inside the storage box 1 to disinfect the temperature probe 14.

[0051] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art can fully understand this utility model without these details. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
