    Abstract: An object is to realize an ear thermometer that is configured to easily arrange a sensor in a sensor mirror and is suitable for mass production. The ear thermometer has a probe. The probe includes a probe body and a temperature measuring part joined with the probe body. The temperature measuring part includes a flange coupled with the probe body and a front end part extending from the flange, the front end part incorporating a sensor mirror. The sensor mirror includes a cylindrical holder with an internal concave reflection face, a connection shaft extending from the back of the cylindrical holder, a flexible printed circuit board with a circuit conductor of predetermined pattern, stretched in a front space of the cylindrical holder, a temperature measuring first sensor and a correcting second sensor spaced by a predetermined distance from each other in a longitudinal direction of the board and soldered to the circuit conductor on the board, and a protection cover covering a front face of the cylindrical holder. The board is electrically connected, in the temperature measuring part, to the cable passing through the probe body.

    Abstract: An ear thermometer (E1) includes a probe (PB) 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 (PB) attached to an ear hole of the temperature measurement target parson. The probe (PB) includes a probe body (20) inserted into the ear hole of the temperature measurement target parson, a housing (10) for supporting the probe body (20); and an in-ear type earpiece (12) attached to the probe body(20) and abutting on an inside of the ear hole of the temperature measurement target person. The infrared sensor unit includes a first sensor (SN1) and a second sensor (SN2) arranged in the probe body (20) and spaced apart by a predetermined distance along a direction substantially orthogonal to the eardrum when the probe body (20) is inserted into the ear hole of the temperature measurement target person.

    Abstract: An ear thermometer (E1 - E5) includes a probe (PB) including an infrared sensor (SM1) for measuring a temperature of an eardrum (250) of a target person in a non-contact manner and attached to an ear hole of the target person. The probe (PB) includes a probe body (20) inserted into the ear hole, a housing (10) supporting the probe body (20), and an in-ear type earpiece (12) attached to the probe body (20) and coming into contact inside the ear hole. The earpiece (12) includes a base portion (12a) including an engaging portion (12c) engaging with the probe body (20) and partially exhibiting a hollow conical shape, and a substantially cylindrical tip portion (12b) provided at one end of the base portion (12a) and extending in a direction away from the housing (10). The base portion (12a) and the tip portion (12b) are integrally formed of a flexible material. An outer diameter (L1) of the tip portion (12b) is set to be smaller than a maximum outer diameter (L2) of the base portion.
