Description

本発明は、接触型センサーを皮膚の測定対象部位に固定して生体信号を検出する健康測定具に関し、例えば、体温、心音、脈波、脳波等の各種測定具に関する。
The present invention relates to a health measuring instrument that detects a biological signal by fixing a contact sensor to a measurement target site on the skin, and relates to various measuring instruments such as body temperature, heart sound, pulse wave, and brain wave.

従来、病院では、患者の健康情報を長時間にわたり観察する監視測定装置として、例えば実用新案登録第3077657号公報(特許文献1)に示すものが使用されている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in hospitals, for example, those shown in Utility Model Registration No. 3077657 (Patent Document 1) are used as monitoring and measuring devices for observing patient health information over a long period of time.

同公報の第6図によれば、感温センサーを殻体の下方から露出させ、係止帯を介して皮膚に接触し、体温を検出している。   According to FIG. 6 of the publication, the temperature sensor is exposed from below the shell body, is in contact with the skin via the locking band, and the body temperature is detected.

しかし、このような監視測定装置には、以下に説明する技術的な課題があった。   However, such monitoring and measuring apparatus has technical problems described below.

実用新案登録第3077657号公報の第6図Fig. 6 of Utility Model Registration No. 3077657

精確な体温測定を行うためには、感温センサーが外気と接触しないように、すなわち、感温センサーが測定対象部位から外れないように留意する必要がある。   In order to perform accurate body temperature measurement, it is necessary to pay attention so that the temperature sensor does not come into contact with outside air, that is, the temperature sensor does not come off from the measurement target site.

そのため、患者は、係止帯を強く締め付けたり、センサーを強く測定対象部位に押し当てなければならず、長時間に及ぶ測定においては苦痛を伴うものであった。   For this reason, the patient has to tighten the locking band strongly or press the sensor strongly against the measurement target part, which is painful in the measurement over a long period of time.

これに対し、センサーの突出部分を少なくすれば、仮にセンサーを強く測定対象部位に押し当てたとしても、苦痛は軽減するが、その場合には、センサーと皮膚との接触率が低下し、また、センサーが皮膚から離脱しやすくなるため、測定不良や測定誤差の要因となる。   On the other hand, if the protruding part of the sensor is reduced, the pain will be reduced even if the sensor is strongly pressed against the measurement target site, but in that case, the contact rate between the sensor and the skin will decrease. Since the sensor is easily detached from the skin, it causes measurement failure and measurement error.

更に、センサーの測定対象部位への押し当てを患者自身が手操作によって行う場合、その押当力や押当時間は、患者によってまちまちであり、これも測定誤差要因となる。
Furthermore, when the patient presses the sensor against the measurement target part by hand, the pressing force and the pressing time vary depending on the patient, which also causes a measurement error.

本発明は、このような従来の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的とするところは、長時間の測定に際しても、人体への圧迫や苦痛が少なく、また測定誤差が少なく、使用者が使いやすい健康測定具を提供することにある。
The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and the object of the present invention is less pressure and pain on the human body even during long-time measurement, and less measurement error. The object is to provide a health measuring instrument that is easy for the user to use.

上記目的を達成するため、本発明にかかる健康測定具は、皮膚の測定対象部位に接触させて体温、心音、脈波、脳波等の生体信号を検出する接触型センサーと、前記センサーの制御用電子部品が搭載された基板と、前記電子部品の駆動用電源と、これらを収容する上下のケースとからなる測定具本体を備え、前記センサーの先端を前記下ケースの下面に露出させた健康測定具において、前記センサーは、前記下ケースの下方に突出しており、前記基板との間に設けられたバネを介して浮動支持され、前記測定具本体を前記測定対象部位に固定する際に、前記バネは、撓み変形して、前記センサーを前記測定対象部位に所定圧力で押当付勢する健康測定具であって、前記下ケースは、前記バネの外周を固定するバネ保持部と、前記バネ保持部の下方から覆うように嵌着される可撓性のU字型下カバーとを備え、
前記センサー保持部は、下端が開口した筒状部材であり、前記バネの中央に設けられた貫通孔に嵌着され、前記センサーを前記バネの下方に突出させつつ前記測定対象部位に接触可能にするものであり、前記下カバーは、中央に前記センサー保持部を嵌着する嵌着孔と、前記嵌着孔に前記センサー保持部を嵌着させたときに、前記センサー保持部の外周に配置される段付きの環状薄肉部とを有している
To achieve the above object, a health measuring instrument according to the present invention comprises a contact sensor for detecting a biological signal such as body temperature, heart sound, pulse wave, brain wave, etc., in contact with a measurement target site of skin, and for controlling the sensor. A health measurement comprising a measuring instrument main body comprising a substrate on which electronic components are mounted, a power source for driving the electronic components, and upper and lower cases for housing them, and the tip of the sensor is exposed on the lower surface of the lower case in ingredients, the sensor is projected downward of the lower case, is floatingly supported through a spring provided between the substrate, when fixing the measuring instrument body to said stbm, wherein The spring is a health measuring instrument that bends and deforms and presses and urges the sensor against the measurement target site with a predetermined pressure. The lower case includes a spring holding portion that fixes an outer periphery of the spring; and the spring Holding part And a flexible U-shaped lower cover which is fitted to cover the person,
The sensor holding portion is a cylindrical member having an open lower end, and is fitted into a through-hole provided in the center of the spring so that the sensor can be brought into contact with the measurement target portion while projecting below the spring. The lower cover is disposed on the outer periphery of the sensor holding portion when the sensor holding portion is fitted in the fitting hole, and a fitting hole for fitting the sensor holding portion in the center. And a stepped annular thin wall portion .

このように構成した健康測定具によれば、センサーは、下ケースの下方に突出するよう、バネを介して浮動支持され、測定具本体を測定対象部位に固定する際に、バネは、撓み変形して、センサーを測定対象部位に所定圧力で押当付勢するので、患者による押し当て操作が容易となり、長時間装着していても、圧迫感や苦痛を感じることなく安定した測定が行われ、又、測定誤差も少ない。   According to the health measuring instrument configured as described above, the sensor is supported by floating through the spring so as to protrude below the lower case, and when the measuring instrument main body is fixed to the measurement target portion, the spring is bent and deformed. Since the sensor is pressed and urged against the measurement target site with a predetermined pressure, it is easy for the patient to perform the pressing operation, and stable measurement can be performed without feeling pressure or pain even when worn for a long time. Also, there are few measurement errors.

また、上記構成の健康測定具では、下ケースは、バネの外周を固定するバネ保持部と、バネ保持部の下方から覆うように嵌着される可撓性のU字型下カバーとを備え、センサー保持部は、バネの中央に設けられた貫通孔に嵌着され、センサーをバネの下方に突出させつつ測定対象部位に接触可能にするので、測定具本体を測定対象部位に固定する際に、バネは、撓み変形して、センサー保持部を測定対象部位に所定圧力で押当付勢して、患者による押し当て操作が容易となり、長時間装着していても、圧迫感や苦痛を感じることなく安定した測定が行われる。更に、センサー保持部は、筒状部材であるので、測定具本体を測定対象部位に固定した時に、センサーが外気に接触するのを遮断し、測定誤差も少ない。 In the health measuring instrument having the above-described configuration, the lower case includes a spring holding portion that fixes the outer periphery of the spring, and a flexible U-shaped lower cover that is fitted so as to cover from below the spring holding portion. The sensor holding part is fitted into a through-hole provided in the center of the spring, and allows the sensor to contact the measurement target part while projecting below the spring, so that the measuring tool main body is fixed to the measurement target part. In addition, the spring bends and deforms, and the sensor holding part is pressed and urged against the measurement target site with a predetermined pressure, so that the patient can easily perform the pressing operation. Stable measurement is performed without feeling. Furthermore, since the sensor holding part is a cylindrical member, when the measuring tool main body is fixed to the measurement target part, the sensor is prevented from coming into contact with the outside air, and the measurement error is small.

さらに、上記構成の健康測定具では、下カバーは、中央にセンサー保持部を嵌着する嵌着孔と、嵌着孔にセンサー保持部を嵌着させたときに、センサー保持部の外周に配置される段付きの環状薄肉部とを有しているので、センサーが測定対象部位に接触した後、U字型下カバーの外周縁が、皮膚のセンサー測定対象部位を閉塞し、センサーの外気接触を遮断するので、センサーの測定誤差をより軽減させることが出来る。また、下カバーは、可撓性を有することから皮膚のあらゆる凹凸にもフィットするので、人体のどのような部位にも健康測定具を取り付けることができる。さらに、センサー保持部は、その下端だけが開口しているので、測定具本体内に塵埃等の異物が侵入しにくい構造になっている。 Furthermore, in the health measuring instrument having the above configuration, the lower cover is disposed on the outer periphery of the sensor holding portion when the sensor holding portion is fitted in the center and the sensor holding portion is fitted in the fitting hole. Since the sensor comes into contact with the measurement target part, the outer peripheral edge of the U-shaped lower cover closes the sensor measurement target part of the skin, so that the sensor is in contact with the outside air. Since the sensor is cut off, the measurement error of the sensor can be further reduced. Further, since the lower cover has flexibility, it fits any unevenness of the skin, so that the health measuring instrument can be attached to any part of the human body. Furthermore, since only the lower end of the sensor holding part is open, it has a structure in which foreign matters such as dust do not easily enter the measuring instrument body.

前記センサー保持部の下端開口部は、ステンレス製のキャップで覆われ、前記キャップの内面は、前記センサーの先端と接触するように構成してもよい The lower end opening of the sensor holding part may be covered with a stainless steel cap, and the inner surface of the cap may be in contact with the tip of the sensor.

この構成によれば、皮膚に接触したキャップは、熱伝導率の高いステンレス製であるので、当該皮膚の温度をセンサーに伝達する。このように、キャップを用いることにより、センサー保持部が閉塞され、塵埃の侵入が防止されるとともに、センサーが測定対象部位に直接接触しないため、センサーの破損や腐食を防止することができる。また、センサーが外気と接触しないようになるので、センサーの測定誤差も少なくなる。   According to this configuration, the cap in contact with the skin is made of stainless steel having a high thermal conductivity, and therefore transmits the temperature of the skin to the sensor. As described above, by using the cap, the sensor holding portion is closed, dust is prevented from entering, and the sensor is not directly in contact with the measurement target portion, so that damage or corrosion of the sensor can be prevented. In addition, since the sensor does not come into contact with the outside air, the measurement error of the sensor is reduced.

前記センサー保持部は、前記バネの上方に突出している頂部と、前記頂部の上面に設けられた導電性部材とを備え、前記基板は、中央の下面側に、前記電源と電気的に接続されたスイッチ回路を備え、前記測定具本体を前記測定対象部位に固定する際に、前記バネが撓み変形して、前記導電性部材を前記スイッチ回路に接触させることができる The sensor holding portion includes a top portion protruding above the spring and a conductive member provided on an upper surface of the top portion, and the substrate is electrically connected to the power source on a lower surface side of the center. When the measuring tool main body is fixed to the measurement target part, the spring is bent and deformed, and the conductive member can be brought into contact with the switch circuit.

この構成によれば、測定具本体を皮膚の測定対象部位に固定する際に、バネの下方に突出しているセンサー保持部が皮膚に接触して、バネは、撓み変形して、その撓み幅だけセンサー保持部を基板側に移動させ、バネの上方に突出した頂部の導電性部材が基板のスイッチ回路に接触するので、センサー保持部が皮膚に押し当てられている間は常時、通電状態となり、測定の都度、電源スイッチを入切する操作が不要となり、又、測定中に電源が遮断される心配もない。   According to this configuration, when the measuring tool main body is fixed to the measurement target portion of the skin, the sensor holding portion protruding below the spring comes into contact with the skin, and the spring is bent and deformed. The sensor holding part is moved to the board side, and the top conductive member protruding above the spring contacts the switch circuit of the board, so that the sensor holding part is always energized while being pressed against the skin, There is no need to turn on / off the power switch for each measurement, and there is no fear that the power will be cut off during the measurement.

前記センサー保持部は、前記センサーを収容するステンレス製カップを筒内に保持していてもよい。 The sensor holding part may hold a stainless steel cup that houses the sensor in a cylinder.

この構成によれば、センサーの周囲が遮蔽され、外気との接触による検知誤差が少なくなる。   According to this configuration, the periphery of the sensor is shielded, and detection errors due to contact with outside air are reduced.

前記健康測定具は、前記測定具本体を皮膚の測定対象部位に固定する固定手段を有していてもよい。 The health measuring tool may have a fixing means for fixing the measuring tool main body to a measurement target site on the skin.

この構成によれば、測定具本体が固定手段により固定されるので、患者は測定具本体を持ち続ける等の苦痛を感じることがなくなり、又、長時間の測定が可能となる。   According to this configuration, since the measuring tool main body is fixed by the fixing means, the patient does not feel pain such as continuing to hold the measuring tool main body, and the measurement can be performed for a long time.

これらのバネは、加工容易、入手性容易であり、皮膚の測定対象部位への押当力を自在に調整することが出来る。
These springs are easily processed and easily available, and the pressing force of the skin to the measurement target site can be freely adjusted.

本発明にかかる健康測定具によれば、センサーは、下ケースの下方に突出するよう、バネを介して浮動支持されるので、測定具本体を測定対象部位に固定する際に、バネは、撓み変形して、センサーを測定対象部位に所定圧力で押当付勢し、患者による押し当て操作が容易となり、長時間装着していても、圧迫感や苦痛を感じることなく安定した測定が行われ、又、測定誤差も少ない。   According to the health measuring device of the present invention, the sensor is supported by the spring so as to protrude below the lower case. Therefore, when the measuring device body is fixed to the measurement target portion, the spring is bent. The sensor is deformed and pressed against the measurement target area with a predetermined pressure, making it easy for the patient to perform the pressing operation.Stable measurement can be performed without feeling pressure or pain even if the sensor is worn for a long time. Also, there are few measurement errors.

又、バネ部とセンサー保持部とが一体成形された下ケースを備えた健康測定具であれば、センサー保持部、バネ保持部、バネ各相互間の連結工程が不要となり、工程が簡素化されるのみならず、部品点数が減りコストが削減される。
In addition, a health measuring instrument having a lower case in which a spring part and a sensor holding part are integrally formed eliminates the need for a connecting process between the sensor holding part, the spring holding part, and the springs, thereby simplifying the process. In addition, the number of parts is reduced and the cost is reduced.

以下、本発明にかかる健康測定具につき、図面に基づき詳細に説明する。図1は、本発明の健康測定具を体温測定に応用した場合の一実施例を示す電子体温計1の外観図である。尚、本発明の健康測定具とは、皮膚の測定対象部位に接触させて体温、心音、脈波、脳波等の生体信号を検出する接触型センサー(温度センサー、圧力センサー、マイクロフォン、圧電センサー、脳波用電極等)を有する測定具本体を備えており、本実施例の電子体温計1の他、心音計、脈波計、脳波計等が含まれる。   Hereinafter, the health measuring device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

However, in the case of a phonocardiograph, the band 10 is wound around the chest circumference including the heart, and in the case of an electroencephalograph on the head. It is common to be wound. Moreover, the band 10 may be removable from the band fixing tool 10a, and only the measuring tool main body 12 can be carried.

又、固定手段は、測定具本体12を皮膚の測定対象部位に固定するものであればよく、固定手段の取付け場所や、固定手段が測定具本体12に一体的に設けられているか別体的に設けられているかは問わない。例えば、固定手段は、本実施例のバンド10の他、人体皮膚を痛めることなく粘着性の強いテープでもよく、当該テープを上ケース12bの上面に貼り付け、手首や足首に巻き付けることも出来る。更に、下ケース12cのうち、センサー12aが露出している面に、両面テープや接着剤等の接着材料を貼り付けないしは塗布することで、測定具本体12は皮膚に固定されるので、当該接着材料を固定手段としてもよい。   The fixing means may be any means as long as it fixes the measuring tool main body 12 to the measurement target site of the skin, and the mounting location of the fixing means, or whether the fixing means is provided integrally with the measuring tool main body 12 or separate. It does not matter whether it is provided in For example, the fixing means may be a highly adhesive tape without damaging the human skin other than the band 10 of this embodiment, and the tape may be attached to the upper surface of the upper case 12b and wound around the wrist or ankle. Further, by attaching or applying an adhesive material such as double-sided tape or adhesive to the surface of the lower case 12c where the sensor 12a is exposed, the measuring tool body 12 is fixed to the skin. The material may be a fixing means.

In this case, the patient wearing the health measuring device can know the measured value.

本実施例の上ケース12bは、基板70及び電池72を収容する部品収容部7と、電池72の挿入孔7bを上方から閉塞する蓋8と、部品収容部7を上方から覆う上カバー9とにより構成される。尚、本実施例では、基板70及び電池72が上ケース12bに収容されているが、下ケース12cに収容されていてもよく、上下のいずれに収容されるかは問わない。   The upper case 12b of the present embodiment includes a component accommodating portion 7 that accommodates the substrate 70 and the battery 72, a lid 8 that closes the insertion hole 7b of the battery 72 from above, and an upper cover 9 that covers the component accommodating portion 7 from above. Consists of. In the present embodiment, the substrate 70 and the battery 72 are accommodated in the upper case 12b. However, the substrate 70 and the battery 72 may be accommodated in the lower case 12c.

又、本実施例の下ケース12cは、バネ6の外周を固定するバネ保持部5と、バネ保持部5を下方から覆う下カバー4とを備える。センサー保持部3は、下端が開口した筒状部材であり、下ケース12cに嵌着されるとともに、バネ6の中央に設けられた貫通孔6aに嵌着され、センサーを12aバネ6の下方に突出させつつ測定対象部位に接触可能にしている。 Further, the lower case 12c of this embodiment includes a spring holding portion 5 that fixes the outer periphery of the spring 6 and a lower cover 4 that covers the spring holding portion 5 from below. The sensor holding portion 3 is a cylindrical member having an open lower end, and is fitted into the lower case 12 c and is fitted into a through hole 6 a provided in the center of the spring 6, and the sensor is placed below the 12 a spring 6. It is made possible to contact the measurement target part while protruding.

ここで、センサー12aは、下ケース12cの下方に突出しており、基板70との間に設けられたバネ6を介して浮動支持されている。更に、本実施例では、センサー保持部3は、バネ6の中央に設けられた貫通孔6aに装着され、センサー12aをバネ6の下方に突出させつつ測定対象部位に保持する。   Here, the sensor 12 a protrudes below the lower case 12 c and is supported by floating via a spring 6 provided between the sensor 12 a and the substrate 70.

センサー保持部3は、センサー12aが下方に露出するように下端が開口した樹脂製の筒状部材3aと、筒状部材3aの外周に突設された環状の起立部3b,3cと、筒状部材3aの上端に突設され傾斜面を有する台形錘状の頂部3dと、頂部3dの上面に設けられた導電性部材3eとにより構成される。本実施例の導電性部材3eは、ゴム製であり、頂部3dの上面に貼り付けられている。   The sensor holding part 3 includes a resin-made cylindrical member 3a whose lower end is opened so that the sensor 12a is exposed downward, annular standing parts 3b and 3c protruding from the outer periphery of the cylindrical member 3a, and a cylindrical shape. A trapezoidal pyramid top 3d that protrudes from the upper end of the member 3a and has an inclined surface, and a conductive member 3e provided on the top surface of the top 3d. The conductive member 3e of the present embodiment is made of rubber and is attached to the upper surface of the top portion 3d.

センサー保持部3が筒状部材3aを備えていることにより、測定具本体12を測定対象部位に固定する際に、センサー12aの周囲は筒状部材3aで覆われるので、センサー12aの外気との接触が遮断され、測定誤差が少なくなる。   Since the sensor holding unit 3 includes the cylindrical member 3a, the sensor 12a is covered with the cylindrical member 3a when the measuring tool main body 12 is fixed to the measurement target site. Contact is cut off and measurement errors are reduced.

更に、本実施例の筒状部材3aの筒内にはステンレス製カップ31が保持されており、このカップ31は、センサー12aの周囲を遮蔽して、外気との接触による検知誤差をより軽減させることが出来る。   Furthermore, a stainless steel cup 31 is held in the cylinder of the cylindrical member 3a of the present embodiment, and this cup 31 shields the periphery of the sensor 12a to further reduce detection errors due to contact with outside air. I can do it.

下カバー4は、枠状のバネ保持部5に嵌着して、バネ保持部5及びバネ6を下方から覆うようにして収容し、これらを保護する役目を担うU字型の皿状部材であり、本実施例では、可撓性を有するシリコンゴム製である。   The lower cover 4 is a U-shaped dish-shaped member that is fitted to the frame-shaped spring holding portion 5 so as to cover the spring holding portion 5 and the spring 6 from below and protect them. In this embodiment, it is made of flexible silicon rubber.

詳細には、下カバー4は、中央に設けられた嵌着孔4aと、嵌着孔4aの外周に設けられた段付きの環状薄肉部4dと、薄肉部4dの外周に設けられ薄肉部4dよりも厚く形成された外周縁4eと、外周縁4eの上方に突設されたコの字部4fとから構成される。   Specifically, the lower cover 4 includes a fitting hole 4a provided in the center, a stepped annular thin part 4d provided on the outer periphery of the fitting hole 4a, and a thin part 4d provided on the outer periphery of the thin part 4d. The outer peripheral edge 4e formed thicker than the outer peripheral edge 4e and the U-shaped portion 4f protruding above the outer peripheral edge 4e.

嵌着孔4aの内周面には、センサー保持部3の起立部3b,3cを密着状態で嵌着する環状溝4b,4cが形成されており、これにより、下カバー4にセンサー保持部3が一体化される。   On the inner peripheral surface of the fitting hole 4a, annular grooves 4b and 4c for fitting the upright portions 3b and 3c of the sensor holding portion 3 in close contact with each other are formed, whereby the sensor holding portion 3 is formed in the lower cover 4. Are integrated.

薄肉部4dは、センサー保持部3を下カバー4に嵌着した場合に、センサー保持部3の外周囲に相当している。これにより、センサー12a及びセンサー保持部3が皮膚に接触すれば、続いて、下カバー4の外周縁4eが皮膚に接触して、センサー12aの測定対象部位を閉塞し、センサー12aの外気接触を遮断するので、センサー12aの測定誤差をより軽減させることが出来るとともに、薄肉部4dの更なる撓性によって皮膚のあらゆる凹凸にもフィットするので、人体のどのような部位にも電子体温計1を取り付けることが出来る。又、センサー保持部3は下カバー4に一体化され、センサー保持部3の下端だけが開口しているので、測定具本体12内に塵埃等の異物が侵入しにくい。   The thin portion 4d corresponds to the outer periphery of the sensor holding portion 3 when the sensor holding portion 3 is fitted to the lower cover 4. As a result, if the sensor 12a and the sensor holding unit 3 come into contact with the skin, then the outer peripheral edge 4e of the lower cover 4 comes into contact with the skin, closes the measurement target portion of the sensor 12a, and the outside air contact of the sensor 12a Since it cuts off, the measurement error of the sensor 12a can be further reduced, and the unevenness of the skin is fitted by the further flexibility of the thin portion 4d, so the electronic thermometer 1 is attached to any part of the human body. I can do it. Further, since the sensor holding unit 3 is integrated with the lower cover 4 and only the lower end of the sensor holding unit 3 is opened, foreign matters such as dust are less likely to enter the measuring tool main body 12.

バネ保持部5は、バネ6を収容し、バネ6の外周である外環6cを固定するための枠状部材5aと、枠状部材5aの外周には設けられた段差部5bとを備え、これらが樹脂で一体成形されている。   The spring holding part 5 includes a frame-like member 5a for housing the spring 6 and fixing the outer ring 6c that is the outer periphery of the spring 6, and a step part 5b provided on the outer periphery of the frame-like member 5a. These are integrally formed of resin.

枠状部材5aの内周面には、バネ6の外環6cを固定するため、コの字を左方向に90度回転させた形状の凸片5cが4箇所固設されている。又、枠状部材5aの上面には、円柱状のボス5dが3箇所突設されるとともに、取付孔5eが枠状部材5aを上下貫通の上、穿設されている。   On the inner peripheral surface of the frame-shaped member 5a, four convex pieces 5c having a U-shape rotated 90 degrees to the left are fixed in order to fix the outer ring 6c of the spring 6. In addition, on the upper surface of the frame-like member 5a, three cylindrical bosses 5d are provided so as to project, and attachment holes 5e are formed through the frame-like member 5a in the vertical direction.

本実施例のバネ6は、1枚の可撓性金属製部材より型抜き成形された略円錐形状の皿板バネであり、詳細は図6の平面図に示すように、中央に設けられた貫通孔6a、貫通孔6aの外周に形成された内環6b、外郭を形成する外環6c、内環6bと外環6cとを連結する3箇所の弓状の架設部6dから構成される。尚、架設部6dは、内環6bから外環6cに沿って湾曲した上り斜面を形成している。   The spring 6 of this embodiment is a substantially conical disk spring that is die-cut from a single flexible metal member, and the details are provided in the center as shown in the plan view of FIG. The structure includes a through hole 6a, an inner ring 6b formed on the outer periphery of the through hole 6a, an outer ring 6c that forms an outer shell, and three arcuate erected portions 6d that connect the inner ring 6b and the outer ring 6c. The erected portion 6d forms an upward slope curved from the inner ring 6b to the outer ring 6c.

更に、外環6cの外周には、4箇所の係止爪6eが下向きに突設されており、これら係止爪6eは、バネ保持部5の凸片5cのコの字内に収容されるようになっている。そして、係止爪6eを凸片5c内に収容した状態で、段差部5bに下カバー4のコの字部4fを嵌着すれば、バネ6の外環6cがバネ保持部5及び下カバー4により固定される。尚、バネ6の外環6cの固定方法は、本実施例に限らず、例えば、バネ保持部5、下カバー4のいずれかによって固定されてもよい。   Further, four locking claws 6e protrude downward on the outer periphery of the outer ring 6c, and these locking claws 6e are accommodated in a U-shape of the convex piece 5c of the spring holding portion 5. It is like that. If the U-shaped portion 4f of the lower cover 4 is fitted to the stepped portion 5b in a state in which the locking claw 6e is accommodated in the convex piece 5c, the outer ring 6c of the spring 6 becomes the spring holding portion 5 and the lower cover. 4 is fixed. In addition, the fixing method of the outer ring 6c of the spring 6 is not limited to the present embodiment, and may be fixed by either the spring holding portion 5 or the lower cover 4, for example.

又更に、バネ6は、貫通孔6aにセンサー保持部3を装着して保持する。センサー保持部3の頂部3dの傾斜面の途中には、バネ6の貫通孔6aと同径の部分があり、バネ6は、図5に示すように、貫通孔6a内にセンサー保持部3を装着し、貫通孔6aの内周面と頂部3dの傾斜面とを当接させて、センサー保持部3を保持する。尚、センサー保持部3の保持方法はこれに限らない。例えば、バネ6の内環6bが、センサー保持部3の起立部3cに当接して、センサー保持部3を保持してもよい。   Still further, the spring 6 attaches and holds the sensor holding portion 3 to the through hole 6a. In the middle of the inclined surface of the top portion 3d of the sensor holding portion 3, there is a portion having the same diameter as the through hole 6a of the spring 6, and the spring 6 has the sensor holding portion 3 in the through hole 6a as shown in FIG. The sensor holding portion 3 is held by attaching the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 6a and the inclined surface of the top portion 3d. The holding method of the sensor holding unit 3 is not limited to this. For example, the inner ring 6 b of the spring 6 may be in contact with the standing part 3 c of the sensor holding part 3 to hold the sensor holding part 3.

以上説明したセンサー保持部3、下カバー4、バネ保持部5、バネ6の相互の関係を改めて説明すると、センサー12aをセンサー保持部3に収容した後、センサー保持部3を下カバー4の嵌着孔4a内に嵌着し、センサー保持部3と下カバー4とを連結一体化させる。そして、バネ保持部5の凸片5c内にバネ6の係止爪6eを収容した後、下カバー4のコの字部4fをバネ保持部5の段差部5bを覆うようにして、バネ保持部5に嵌着する。これにより、バネ6の外環6cがバネ保持部5及び下カバー4とによって上下から固定されるとともに、バネ6の貫通孔6a内にセンサー保持部3の頂部3dが貫入され、センサー12a及びセンサー保持部3はバネ6を介して浮動支持される。   The mutual relationship among the sensor holding unit 3, the lower cover 4, the spring holding unit 5, and the spring 6 described above will be described again. After the sensor 12 a is accommodated in the sensor holding unit 3, the sensor holding unit 3 is fitted to the lower cover 4. The sensor holding part 3 and the lower cover 4 are connected and integrated by fitting in the attachment hole 4a. And after accommodating the latching claw 6e of the spring 6 in the convex piece 5c of the spring holding part 5, the U-shaped part 4f of the lower cover 4 is covered with the step part 5b of the spring holding part 5 to hold the spring. Fits on part 5. Accordingly, the outer ring 6c of the spring 6 is fixed from above and below by the spring holding portion 5 and the lower cover 4, and the top portion 3d of the sensor holding portion 3 is inserted into the through hole 6a of the spring 6, and the sensor 12a and the sensor 12 The holding unit 3 is supported in a floating manner via a spring 6.

そこで、測定具本体12を皮膚の測定対象部位に接触させようとすると、センサー12aを保持しているセンサー保持部3は、バネ6を介して浮動支持されており、下カバー4及びバネ6の下方に突出しているから、真っ先にセンサー12aが測定対象部位に接触して皮膚を押し当てるとともに、センサー保持部3が装着された貫通孔6aを介して、バネ6の内環6bに荷重を加える。外環6cが固定されたバネ6の内環6bに荷重が加われば、バネ6はその特性、すなわち復元力に応じた範囲でバネ6を円錐高さを低くする方向に撓み変形する。   Therefore, when the measurement tool main body 12 is brought into contact with the measurement target site of the skin, the sensor holding unit 3 holding the sensor 12a is supported by floating via the spring 6, and the lower cover 4 and the spring 6 are Since it protrudes downward, the sensor 12a comes into contact with the measurement target portion first and presses the skin, and a load is applied to the inner ring 6b of the spring 6 through the through hole 6a in which the sensor holding portion 3 is mounted. . When a load is applied to the inner ring 6b of the spring 6 to which the outer ring 6c is fixed, the spring 6 bends and deforms the spring 6 in a direction that lowers the cone height within a range corresponding to the characteristic, that is, the restoring force.

その際、バネ6は、センサー12a及びセンサー保持部3を皮膚に所定圧力で押当付勢するので、センサー12aは一定の押当力を維持しながら測定対象部位に接触する。従って、電子体温計1の測定具本体12を長時間にわたり、患者の皮膚に固定させたとしても、従来のような圧迫感や苦痛がなく、しかも、安定した検出値をセンサー12aから得ることが可能となり測定誤差が軽減される。   At this time, the spring 6 presses and urges the sensor 12a and the sensor holding unit 3 against the skin with a predetermined pressure, so that the sensor 12a contacts the measurement target portion while maintaining a constant pressing force. Therefore, even if the measuring instrument main body 12 of the electronic thermometer 1 is fixed to the patient's skin for a long time, it is possible to obtain a stable detection value from the sensor 12a without causing a feeling of pressure and pain as in the prior art. The measurement error is reduced.

しかも、下カバー4のうち、センサー保持部3の外周囲は、外周縁4eに対して段付きの薄肉部4dとなっていることから、センサー12aが測定対象部位に接触すれば、続いて、外周縁4eが皮膚に接触して、センサー12aの測定対象部位を閉塞し、センサー12aの外気接触を遮断するので、センサー12aの測定誤差をより軽減させることが出来るとともに、薄肉部4dの更なる撓性によって皮膚のあらゆる凹凸にもフィットするので、人体のどのような部位にも電子体温計1を取り付けることが出来る。   Moreover, since the outer periphery of the sensor holding part 3 of the lower cover 4 is a stepped thin part 4d with respect to the outer peripheral edge 4e, if the sensor 12a comes into contact with the measurement target site, then, Since the outer peripheral edge 4e comes into contact with the skin, the measurement target portion of the sensor 12a is blocked and the outside air contact of the sensor 12a is blocked, so that the measurement error of the sensor 12a can be further reduced and the thin portion 4d is further increased. Since it fits to any unevenness of the skin due to its flexibility, the electronic thermometer 1 can be attached to any part of the human body.

尚、バネ6がセンサー12a及びセンサー保持部3に加える押当力、すなわち、バネ6の撓み幅、復元力は、バネ6の特性(材料、定数、厚み、形状等)や下カバー4の撓性の程度によって、自由に定めることが出来る。例えば、バネ6の内環6bや外環6cの形状、厚みを変化させることによって、センサー12a及びセンサー保持部3への押当力を調整し、患者の性別、年齢、病状や電子体温計1の固定期間等に応じた測定を行うことが可能となる。   The pressing force applied by the spring 6 to the sensor 12a and the sensor holding unit 3, that is, the bending width and restoring force of the spring 6, are the characteristics (material, constant, thickness, shape, etc.) of the spring 6 and the bending of the lower cover 4. It can be determined freely according to the degree of sex. For example, by changing the shape and thickness of the inner ring 6b and the outer ring 6c of the spring 6, the pressing force to the sensor 12a and the sensor holding unit 3 is adjusted, and the patient's sex, age, medical condition and the electronic thermometer 1 Measurement according to a fixed period or the like can be performed.

次に、上ケース12bを構成する部品収容部7、蓋8、上カバー9及び基板70の詳細について、図3の分解縦断面図、図4、図5の分解斜視図に基づいて説明する。   Next, details of the component housing portion 7, the lid 8, the upper cover 9, and the substrate 70 constituting the upper case 12b will be described based on the exploded vertical sectional view of FIG. 3 and the exploded perspective views of FIG. 4 and FIG.

部品収容部7は、電池72の挿入孔7aが上方に形成された中空筒状の電池収容部7bと、電池収容部7bの外周かつ下方に設けられた基板収容部7cと、基板収容部7cの外周に設けられた溝7d付きの縁部7eと、電池収容部7bの外周に突設された突片7hとにより構成され、これらが一体成形されている。   The component housing portion 7 includes a hollow cylindrical battery housing portion 7b in which the insertion hole 7a of the battery 72 is formed above, a substrate housing portion 7c provided on the outer periphery and below the battery housing portion 7b, and a substrate housing portion 7c. The edge 7e with the groove 7d provided on the outer periphery of the battery and the projecting piece 7h projecting on the outer periphery of the battery housing portion 7b are integrally formed.

挿入孔7aは、蓋8の外径と同径に形成され、蓋8に係合する。挿入孔7aの内周面には、図4に示すように、上下反転したL字型のレール7fと、レール7fに連結されたガイド7gが3箇所突設されている。   The insertion hole 7 a is formed with the same diameter as the outer diameter of the lid 8 and engages with the lid 8. On the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 7a, as shown in FIG. 4, three L-shaped rails 7f inverted up and down and guides 7g connected to the rails 7f are projected.

一方、蓋8は、円筒状の本体8aと、本体8aの上面縁に設けられた蓋面8bと、本体8aの外周面に3箇所突設された衝止片8cと、蓋面8bと衝止片8cとの間に介装されたリング状のパッキン8dにより構成されている。   On the other hand, the lid 8 includes a cylindrical main body 8a, a lid surface 8b provided on the upper surface edge of the main body 8a, a stopper piece 8c projecting from the outer peripheral surface of the main body 8a, and a lid surface 8b. It is comprised by the ring-shaped packing 8d interposed between the stop pieces 8c.

つまり、電池収容部7b内に電池72を収容した後、挿入孔7a内に蓋8を挿入し、蓋8を一の方向に回転させることによって、衝止片8cは、ガイド7g上を摺接しながら移動し、更に、隣接するガイド7gの横に連結されたレール7fの下を摺接して、上下反転したL字の角で衝止する。これにより、衝止片8cは、レール7fの下に嵌入された状態となり、上方に引き抜かれることなく電池収容部7bに固定され、挿入孔7aを密閉状態で閉塞する。   That is, after the battery 72 is accommodated in the battery accommodating portion 7b, the lid 8 is inserted into the insertion hole 7a, and the lid 8 is rotated in one direction, whereby the stopper piece 8c slides on the guide 7g. Furthermore, it slides into contact with the bottom of the rail 7f connected to the side of the adjacent guide 7g and stops at the L-shaped corner that is inverted upside down. Accordingly, the stopper piece 8c is fitted under the rail 7f, is fixed to the battery housing portion 7b without being pulled upward, and closes the insertion hole 7a in a sealed state.

又、蓋8を先の方向と逆方向に回転させれば、衝止片8cは再びレール7f及びガイド7gを摺接しながら移動し、蓋8を電池収容部7bから引き抜くことが可能となる。尚、蓋8の回転は、蓋面8bに穿設された矩形溝状の凹部8eにコインを挿入し、コインを正逆方向に回転させることで容易に行われる。   Further, if the lid 8 is rotated in the direction opposite to the previous direction, the stopper piece 8c moves again while slidingly contacting the rail 7f and the guide 7g, and the lid 8 can be pulled out from the battery accommodating portion 7b. The lid 8 is easily rotated by inserting a coin into a rectangular groove-shaped recess 8e formed in the lid surface 8b and rotating the coin in the forward and reverse directions.

部品収容部7の詳細説明に戻ると、基板収容部7cは、下面が基板70の外形を模した形状の凹部となっている。基板70は、当該凹部内に収容されるとともに、バネ支持部5のボス5dの内周側にある縁上で係止する。   Returning to the detailed description of the component housing portion 7, the substrate housing portion 7 c has a concave portion whose bottom surface simulates the outer shape of the substrate 70. The substrate 70 is accommodated in the concave portion and is locked on the edge on the inner peripheral side of the boss 5d of the spring support portion 5.

縁部7eの下面側には、バネ支持部5のボス5dと係合する位置決め用の凹部7iが形成され、又更には、取付孔5eの同心上に取付孔7jが穿設されている。つまり、ボス5dと凹部7iを係合の上、取付孔5e,7jにビスを貫入することによって、バネ保持部5と部品収容部7とが連結固定される。   On the lower surface side of the edge portion 7e, a positioning recess 7i that engages with the boss 5d of the spring support portion 5 is formed, and further, a mounting hole 7j is formed concentrically with the mounting hole 5e. That is, by engaging the boss 5d and the recess 7i and inserting the screws into the mounting holes 5e and 7j, the spring holding portion 5 and the component housing portion 7 are connected and fixed.

基板70の上面側は、電池収容部7bの挿入孔7aと連通するボタン型電池72の電池支持部70aとなっており、電源回路と接続された電極(図示せず)が突出している。この電極と、電池支持部70a上に支持された電池72の電極端子とが接触して、電池72の電力が基板70内の電子回路に供給される。尚、基板70側の電極が突出する代わりに、電池72側の電極端子が突出していてもよく、その場合は、基板70に電極端子の挿入孔が設けられ、当該挿入孔が電源回路に電気的に接続されていればよい。   The upper surface side of the substrate 70 is a battery support portion 70a of the button-type battery 72 that communicates with the insertion hole 7a of the battery housing portion 7b, and an electrode (not shown) connected to the power supply circuit protrudes. This electrode and the electrode terminal of the battery 72 supported on the battery support part 70 a come into contact with each other, and the electric power of the battery 72 is supplied to the electronic circuit in the substrate 70. Instead of the electrode on the substrate 70 projecting, the electrode terminal on the battery 72 side may project. In this case, an electrode terminal insertion hole is provided in the substrate 70, and the insertion hole is electrically connected to the power supply circuit. As long as they are connected.

又、基板70の中央の下面側には、電池72と電気的に接続されたスイッチ回路70bが形成されている。センサー保持部3の頂部3dは、バネ6より上方に突出しており、頂部3dの上面に設けられた導電性部材3eがスイッチ回路70bに接触することにより、電池72の電力が基板70内の電子回路に供給されるようになっている。   In addition, a switch circuit 70 b electrically connected to the battery 72 is formed on the lower surface side of the center of the substrate 70. The top part 3d of the sensor holding part 3 protrudes above the spring 6, and the conductive member 3e provided on the top surface of the top part 3d comes into contact with the switch circuit 70b. The circuit is supplied.

つまり、本実施例の電子体温計1では、測定具本体12を皮膚の測定対象部位に固定する際に、バネ6の下方に突出しているセンサー保持部3が皮膚に接触して、センサー保持部3が装着されたバネ6が、撓み変形して、その撓み幅だけセンサー保持部3を基板70側に移動させる。そして、バネ6の上方に突出した頂部3dの導電性部材3eが基板70のスイッチ回路70bに接触する。これにより、センサー保持部3が皮膚に押し当てられている間は常時、通電状態となり、測定の都度、電源スイッチを入切する操作が不要となり、又、測定中に電源が遮断される心配もない。   That is, in the electronic thermometer 1 of the present embodiment, when the measuring tool main body 12 is fixed to the measurement target site of the skin, the sensor holding unit 3 protruding below the spring 6 comes into contact with the skin, and the sensor holding unit 3 The spring 6 to which is attached is bent and deformed, and the sensor holding part 3 is moved toward the substrate 70 by the bending width. Then, the conductive member 3 e at the top portion 3 d protruding above the spring 6 contacts the switch circuit 70 b of the substrate 70. As a result, the sensor holding unit 3 is always energized while being pressed against the skin, and there is no need to turn on / off the power switch every time measurement is performed. Absent.

尚、センサー保持部3の頂部3dの高さ及び導電性部材3eの厚さは、当然のことながら、非押当時に導電性部材3eがスイッチ回路70bに接触しないよう、又、バネ6がセンサー12aを測定対象部位に所定圧力で押当付勢している間に導電性部材3eがスイッチ回路70bから離れないよう、設計される。尚、スイッチ回路70bに時定数回路が設けられ、瞬間的な非接触状態が発生しても電源が遮断されないようになっていてもよい。   Of course, the height of the top 3d of the sensor holding part 3 and the thickness of the conductive member 3e are such that the conductive member 3e does not come into contact with the switch circuit 70b when not pressed, and the spring 6 is connected to the sensor. It is designed so that the conductive member 3e does not move away from the switch circuit 70b while pressing and urging 12a to the measurement target portion with a predetermined pressure. The switch circuit 70b may be provided with a time constant circuit so that the power supply is not shut off even if an instantaneous non-contact state occurs.

又上記態様の他、1回の押当動作を検知してから所定時間は通電状態を維持するようなラッチ回路及びタイマー回路がスイッチ回路70b又は電源回路に含まれていてもよい。その場合には、体温測定中に、導電性部材3eとスイッチ回路70bの非接触状態が発生したとしても通電状態が継続され、安定した測定が行なえる。   In addition to the above aspect, a latch circuit and a timer circuit that maintain the energized state for a predetermined time after detecting one pushing operation may be included in the switch circuit 70b or the power supply circuit. In that case, even if a non-contact state between the conductive member 3e and the switch circuit 70b occurs during the body temperature measurement, the energized state is continued and stable measurement can be performed.

上カバー9は、部品収容部7を上方から覆い、部品収容部7を保護するとともに、美観に優れた電子体温計1とする。詳細には、上カバー9は、蓋8の外径と同径の穿孔9bを有し上面が傾斜したリング状部材9aと、リング状部材9aの内周面に3箇所突設された掛止片9cと、リング状部材9aの外周縁下方に立設した係合縁部9dとにより構成されている。   The upper cover 9 covers the component housing portion 7 from above, protects the component housing portion 7, and makes the electronic thermometer 1 excellent in aesthetic appearance. Specifically, the upper cover 9 includes a ring-shaped member 9a having a perforation 9b having the same diameter as the outer diameter of the lid 8 and an inclined upper surface, and a hook projecting at three locations on the inner peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member 9a. It is comprised by the piece 9c and the engagement edge part 9d standingly arranged below the outer periphery of the ring-shaped member 9a.

このうち、掛止片9cは、部品収容部7の突片7hに掛けられ、係合縁部9dは、溝7dに嵌合し、これにより、上カバー9は部品収容部7に固定される。   Among these, the latching piece 9 c is hung on the projecting piece 7 h of the component accommodating portion 7, and the engaging edge portion 9 d is fitted in the groove 7 d, whereby the upper cover 9 is fixed to the component accommodating portion 7. .

以上のようにして組立てられた電子体温計1は、バンド10を手首や足首に巻いて、センサー12aが皮膚の測定対象部位に接触するように測定具本体12を固定することによって、下ケース12cの下方に突出しているセンサー12aが皮膚を押し当て、センサー12aを浮動支持しているバネ6は、その特性に応じて撓み変形し、センサー12aを皮膚に、バネ6の特性に応じた所定圧力で押当付勢する。   In the electronic thermometer 1 assembled as described above, the band 10 is wound around the wrist or ankle, and the measuring tool body 12 is fixed so that the sensor 12a is in contact with the measurement target site of the skin. The spring 6 that projects downwardly presses the skin, and the spring 6 that floats and supports the sensor 12a bends and deforms according to its characteristics, and the sensor 12a is applied to the skin with a predetermined pressure according to the characteristics of the spring 6. Push and energize.

従って、患者が長時間、電子体温計1を装着していても、圧迫感や苦痛を感じることなく安定した体温測定が行われ、又、測定誤差も少ない。更に、下カバー4は、可撓性を有するシリコンゴム製であり、センサー保持部3の外周囲に環状形成された段付き薄肉部4dを有することから、皮膚のあらゆる凹凸にもフィットし、センサー12aが外気に接触するのを防止することが出来る。
Therefore, even if the patient wears the electronic thermometer 1 for a long time, stable body temperature measurement is performed without feeling a sense of pressure or pain, and measurement errors are small. Further, the lower cover 4 is made of flexible silicon rubber and has a stepped thin portion 4d formed in an annular shape around the outer periphery of the sensor holding portion 3, so that it fits any unevenness of the skin, and the sensor It can prevent that 12a contacts external air.

図7は、電子体温計の第2実施例を示しており、電子体温計の測定具本体のうち、下ケース20の構造を表す図である。本実施例の下ケース20は、バネ部24と、バネ部24の中央下方に突出形成され、センサー12aを測定対象部位に接触可能に保持するセンサー保持部22と、バネ部24の外周に設けられた枠部26とにより構成された樹脂製一体成形部材である。   FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the electronic thermometer, and is a diagram showing the structure of the lower case 20 in the measuring instrument main body of the electronic thermometer. The lower case 20 of the present embodiment is formed on the outer periphery of the spring portion 24, a sensor holding portion 22 that is formed to protrude below the center of the spring portion 24, and that holds the sensor 12 a so as to be in contact with the measurement target portion. It is a resin-made integrally formed member constituted by the frame portion 26 formed.

バネ部24は、センサー保持部22の外周に延設された内環24aと、枠部26の内周に延設された外環24bと、内環24aと外環24bとを連結する架設部24cを備え、内環24aから外環24bに沿って上り斜面が形成された略円錐形状のバネ性部材である。本実施例の架設部24cは、内環24aを中心として120度ずつに3等分された円弧状でありかつ、迷路状の穿孔24dを有している。   The spring portion 24 includes an inner ring 24 a extending on the outer periphery of the sensor holding portion 22, an outer ring 24 b extending on the inner periphery of the frame portion 26, and an erection portion that connects the inner ring 24 a and the outer ring 24 b. This is a spring member having a substantially conical shape provided with an upward slope along the outer ring 24b from the inner ring 24a. The erection part 24c of the present embodiment has an arc shape that is divided into three equal portions of 120 degrees around the inner ring 24a, and has a maze-shaped perforation 24d.

センサー保持部22は、バネ部24の下方に突出するように形成され、センサー12aが下方に露出するように下端が開口した筒状部材22aと、筒状部材22aの上端に突設された突起部22bと、突起部22bの上面に設けられた導電性部材22cとにより構成される。尚、本実施例の導電性部材22cも、先の実施例の導電性部材3e同様、ゴム製で、突起部22bの上面に貼り付けられていてもよい。又、本実施例の筒状部材22aの筒内には、先の実施例におけるカップ31が保持されていてもよい。センサー保持部22がこのように筒状であり、かつ、カップ31を保持していることによって、センサー12aが外気に接触するのを遮断することが出来、測定誤差が軽減される。   The sensor holding part 22 is formed so as to protrude downward from the spring part 24, and has a cylindrical member 22a having a lower end opened so that the sensor 12a is exposed downward, and a protrusion protruding from the upper end of the cylindrical member 22a. It is comprised by the part 22b and the electroconductive member 22c provided in the upper surface of the projection part 22b. The conductive member 22c of this embodiment is also made of rubber and may be affixed to the upper surface of the protruding portion 22b, like the conductive member 3e of the previous embodiment. Further, the cup 31 of the previous embodiment may be held in the cylinder of the cylindrical member 22a of the present embodiment. Since the sensor holding part 22 is cylindrical and holds the cup 31, the sensor 12a can be prevented from coming into contact with the outside air, and measurement errors are reduced.

枠部26は、本実施例の上ケース(図示せず)に係合する2箇所の掛止爪26aと、係合溝26bを備え、上ケースに固定される。尚、本実施例の上ケースの態様は、下ケース20との係合部分の形状を除き、先の実施例の上ケース12bと実質的に同一である。又、枠部26の形状は、本実施例のものに限らない。   The frame portion 26 includes two hooking claws 26a that engage with an upper case (not shown) of this embodiment and an engagement groove 26b, and is fixed to the upper case. The form of the upper case of this embodiment is substantially the same as that of the upper case 12b of the previous embodiment except for the shape of the engaging portion with the lower case 20. Moreover, the shape of the frame part 26 is not restricted to the thing of a present Example.

このように構成された下ケース20を備えた電子体温計であれば、測定具本体を測定対象部位に固定する際に、バネ部24の下方に突出したセンサー12aが、真っ先に測定対象部位に接触して皮膚を押し当てるとともに、センサー保持部22に接続しているバネ部24の内環24aに荷重を加える。外環24bが固定されたバネ部24の内環24aに荷重が加われば、バネ部24はその特性、すなわち復元力に応じた範囲でバネ部24を円錐高さを低くする方向に撓み変形する。   In the case of the electronic thermometer including the lower case 20 configured as described above, when the measuring tool main body is fixed to the measurement target portion, the sensor 12a protruding below the spring portion 24 comes into contact with the measurement target portion first. Then, while pressing the skin, a load is applied to the inner ring 24 a of the spring portion 24 connected to the sensor holding portion 22. When a load is applied to the inner ring 24a of the spring part 24 to which the outer ring 24b is fixed, the spring part 24 bends and deforms in a direction that lowers the cone height within a range corresponding to the characteristic, that is, the restoring force. .

バネ部24は、撓み変形することにより、センサー12aを測定対象部位にバネ部24の特性に応じた所定圧力で押当付勢するので、患者が長時間、電子体温計を装着していても、圧迫感や苦痛を感じることなく安定した測定が行われ、又、測定誤差も少ない。   Since the spring portion 24 is bent and deformed, the sensor 12a is pressed and biased to the measurement target site with a predetermined pressure according to the characteristics of the spring portion 24. Therefore, even if the patient wears the electronic thermometer for a long time, Stable measurement is performed without feeling pressure or pain, and measurement errors are small.

更に、本実施例の場合、センサー12aを装着した下ケース20に、基板70及び電池72を収容した上ケースを組み合わせるだけで、測定具本体が完成するので、先の実施例におけるセンサー保持部3、バネ保持部5、バネ6各相互間の連結工程が不要となり、工程が簡素化されるのみならず、部品点数が減りコストが削減される。   Furthermore, in the case of the present embodiment, the measuring instrument main body is completed simply by combining the lower case 20 equipped with the sensor 12a with the upper case containing the substrate 70 and the battery 72, so that the sensor holding unit 3 in the previous embodiment is completed. In addition, the connecting process between the spring holding part 5 and the spring 6 becomes unnecessary, which not only simplifies the process but also reduces the number of parts and the cost.

尚、先の実施例では、下ケース12cの構成要素に下カバー4が含まれており、下カバー4は、センサー保持部3を嵌着するとともに、バネ保持部5及びバネ6を収容していたが、本実施例では、下ケース20自体が、センサー保持部22、バネ部24、枠部26を一体成形の上、得られたものであるから、下ケース20の構成要素に下カバー4を含むかどうかは任意である。   In the previous embodiment, the lower cover 12 is included in the components of the lower case 12c. The lower cover 4 fits the sensor holding portion 3 and houses the spring holding portion 5 and the spring 6. However, in the present embodiment, the lower case 20 itself is obtained by integrally forming the sensor holding portion 22, the spring portion 24, and the frame portion 26, so that the lower cover 4 is a constituent element of the lower case 20. Whether or not is included is arbitrary.

又、導電性部材22cは、先の実施例の導電性部材3e同様、基板70に設けられたスイッチ回路70bに接触することにより、電池72の電力が基板70内の電子回路に供給されるようになっている。   Further, like the conductive member 3e of the previous embodiment, the conductive member 22c comes into contact with the switch circuit 70b provided on the substrate 70 so that the power of the battery 72 is supplied to the electronic circuit in the substrate 70. It has become.

つまり、本実施例の電子体温計では、測定具本体を皮膚の測定対象部位に固定する際に、バネ部24の下方に突出しているセンサー保持部22が皮膚に接触して、バネ部24を撓み変形させ、その撓み幅だけ、センサー保持部22を上方の基板70側に移動させる。そして、バネ部24の上方に突出した突起部22bの導電性部材22cが基板70のスイッチ回路70bに接触する。これにより、センサー保持部22が皮膚に押し当てられている間は常時、通電状態となり、測定の都度、電源スイッチを入切する操作が不要となり、又、測定中に電源が遮断される心配もない。   That is, in the electronic thermometer of the present embodiment, when the measuring tool main body is fixed to the measurement target portion of the skin, the sensor holding portion 22 protruding below the spring portion 24 comes into contact with the skin, and the spring portion 24 is bent. The sensor holding part 22 is moved to the upper substrate 70 side by the deformation width. Then, the conductive member 22 c of the protruding portion 22 b protruding above the spring portion 24 contacts the switch circuit 70 b of the substrate 70. As a result, the sensor holding unit 22 is always energized while being pressed against the skin, and there is no need to turn on / off the power switch every time measurement is performed. Absent.

尚、本実施例の突起部22bや、先の実施例の頂部3dそのものが導電性部材で形成されていてもよく、その場合には導電性部材3e,22cは不要である。
In addition, the protrusion part 22b of a present Example and the top part 3d itself of a previous Example may be formed with the electroconductive member, and the electroconductive members 3e and 22c are unnecessary in that case.

以上、電子体温計の実施例につき説明したが、本発明の健康測定具は、上記実施例で説明した構成要件の全てを備えた電子体温計に限定されるものではなく、各種の変更及び修正が可能である。又、かかる変更及び修正についても本発明の特許請求の範囲に属することは言うまでもない。   As mentioned above, although it demonstrated per Example of an electronic thermometer, the health measuring device of this invention is not limited to the electronic thermometer provided with all the structural requirements demonstrated in the said Example, A various change and correction are possible. It is. It goes without saying that such changes and modifications also belong to the scope of the claims of the present invention.
