Abstract: An ear thermometer includes a probe including an infrared sensor unit for measuring a temperature of an eardrum of an ear of a temperature measurement target parson in a non-contact manner, the probe attached to an ear hole of the temperature measurement target parson. The probe includes a probe body inserted into the ear hole of the temperature measurement target parson, a housing for supporting the probe body; and an in-ear type earpiece attached to the probe body and abutting on an inside of the ear hole of the temperature measurement target person. The infrared sensor unit includes a first sensor and a second sensor arranged in the probe body and spaced apart by a predetermined distance along a direction substantially orthogonal to the eardrum when the probe body is inserted into the ear hole of the temperature measurement target person.

Abstract: An ear thermometer includes a probe including an infrared sensor for measuring a temperature of an eardrum of a target person in a non-contact manner and attached to an ear hole of the target person. The probe includes a probe body inserted into the ear hole, a housing supporting the probe body, and an in-ear type earpiece attached to the probe body and coming into contact inside the ear hole. The earpiece includes a base portion including an engaging portion engaging with the probe body and partially exhibiting a hollow conical shape, and a substantially cylindrical tip portion provided at one end of the base portion and extending in a direction away from the housing. The base portion and the tip portion are integrally formed of a flexible material. An outer diameter of the tip portion is set to be smaller than a maximum outer diameter of the base portion.

Abstract: An infrared thermometer includes: a main unit incorporating an infrared sensor; a proximity sensor for detecting that the main unit has been positioned in proximity to a human body; and a controller which calculates body temperature based on quantity of infrared from the infrared sensor when the proximity sensor has detected positioning of the main unit in proximity to a human body. The proximity sensor includes a ground electrode, and a plurality of segmented electrodes arranged about the perimeter of the ground electrode. The controller measures electrostatic capacitance between the ground electrode and the segmented electrodes when positioned in proximity to a human body, and measures the distance between the main unit and the human body, to thereby detect tilt of the main unit with respect to the human body.

Abstract: An infrared thermometer includes a proximity sensor, an infrared sensor and a micro controller unit. The micro controller unit determines whether or not the infrared thermometer has contact with an object to be measured, using the proximity sensor. The micro controller unit measures the amount of infrared radiation using the infrared sensor at a time when determining that the infrared thermometer has contact with the object to be measured. The micro controller unit calculates a temperature of the object to be measured, based on the amount of infrared radiation.
