Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is an oral cavity system that measures the basal body temperature of the human body, considers changes in body temperature, and takes countermeasures according to the status of bodily functions. This relates to temperature measuring instruments.

(Prior art) Conventionally, thermometers used to measure body temperature have mercury embedded in a glass tube as a temperature-sensitive agent and have a temperature scale on the tube body. It is made of a glass tube and can only measure body temperature at one location in the armpit or oral cavity.
Since it is not possible to measure the temperature of two or more places at the same time, it is not possible to obtain data on the nature and periodicity of basal body temperature by measuring two or more places at the same time under the same conditions.

Also used as a thermometer for publicizing public baths.
There is a publication. However, the thermometer in the same publication has two glass rods for the thermometer built into a metal pipe, but a horizontal temperature scale is attached to a box with glass rods to measure the water temperature. However, the measured temperature is extremely inaccurate, and accurate measurements such as body temperature are impossible. Moreover, the article of the same publication and the present invention are completely different in purpose, structure, and effect.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) This invention measures the temperature inside the oral cavity by placing a tube body of a temperature measuring device on the back side of the tongue in the oral cavity and using multiple tube bodies such as two or three tubes to measure the body temperature on the left and right sides under the tongue. Or measure the left and right sides of the sublingual and the center of the sublingual at the same time, measure the difference in body temperature at different locations under the tongue such as the left and right or the center, predict changes in physical condition or the time of childbirth, and adjust your physical condition. The present invention relates to an oral temperature measuring device whose purpose is to easily and reliably measure body temperature in the oral cavity so that preparations for childbirth or the like can be made in advance.

Previously, research on women's sexual cycle was conducted using the sublingual temperature measured when waking up as basal body temperature.

Basal body temperature was detected by simultaneously measuring this basal body temperature at two locations on both sides of the sublingual area. This is called the contralateral basal body temperature. We discovered that there is another periodicity in this contralateral basal body temperature in addition to the biphasic nature of basal body temperature that has traditionally been considered.

By considering the nature and periodicity of this contralateral basal body temperature, it is possible to infer the status of various bodily functions, and the purpose is to make it possible to take countermeasures. It is.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention is an oral temperature measuring device that can grasp the status of the above-mentioned bodily functions, and is equipped with a temperature-sensitive agent 1 at one end and a hoistway 2 for the temperature-sensitive agent 1. The other ends of the tubes 3, which are larger than one length, are connected with a connecting member 5 made of a material that can be expanded and contracted or curved so that the distance between the tubes can be adjusted as appropriate, and the tubes 3 are arranged almost parallel to each other so that they can be easily placed under the tongue in the oral cavity. This is an oral temperature measuring device that can measure the temperature of the left and right sides under the tongue, or the left and right sides and the center at the same time.

(Effect) Traditionally, it has been normal for adult women to have a biphasic basal body temperature, in which the body temperature rises for a certain period of time, and
It used to measure the drop in body temperature over a certain period of time using a waveform to predict changes in physical condition related to menstruation or the timing of pregnancy. You can notice changes in your physical condition that you would not be able to get by just using it.

This invention selects thermometers whose sensitivity accuracy is almost the same, for example, 0.00℃ to 0.01℃, from a large number of thermometers,
The plurality of highly accurate tube bodies 3, 3 are almost parallel (the purpose of this invention can be achieved even if the degree of parallelism changes slightly)
are connected to each other with a connecting material 5.

The connecting material 5 is made of something that can be expanded and contracted or curved, and the distance between the tubes 3, 3 can be adjusted as appropriate, so the temperature can be measured by adjusting the tubes 3, 3 to the size of the oral cavity. Therefore, when the tubes 3, 3 are inserted into the back of the tongue, it is possible to reliably measure the temperature of the left and right sides of the sublingual area at the same time. Therefore, the left and right sublingual temperatures are displayed differently on the temperature scale 4. When this measured sublingual temperature is expressed in the form of a wave, the left and right sublingual temperatures intersect and the temperature difference is 4.
As shown in the figure, it is possible to understand that there is a cycle, accurately grasp the status of various bodily functions, and take measures to deal with it.

(Embodiment) The present invention has a temperature scale 4 provided on a tube body 3 made of a transparent material, for example glass, with a temperature sensitive agent 1, for example mercury, installed at one end and a hoistway 2 for the temperature sensitive agent 1. A plurality of tube bodies 3 having almost the same sensitivity in lifting and lowering accuracy,
The other ends of the tubes 3, 3 are connected by a connecting member 5 made of a suitable material such as synthetic resin, metal, wood, etc., which can be expanded/contracted or curved, so that the tubes 3, 3 are positioned almost parallel to each other, and the interval between the tubes 3, 3 is adjusted appropriately. This is an oral temperature measurement device that makes it possible.

The connecting member 5 is removably attached to the attachment part 7 of the rod-shaped rod 6, for example, with a screw tube 8, and the rod-shaped rod 6 is rotated by hand in order to lower the temperature-sensitive agent 1 after measuring the body temperature. The temperature-sensitive agent 1 is lowered to the lower end of the tube body 3 by moving the tube.

(Effects of the invention) By measuring two or three places on the tongue at the same time using the measuring device of this invention, it is possible to measure changes in physical condition or the sexual cycle of a woman, predict the time of delivery of a pregnant woman, and make it possible to predict the delivery time of a pregnant woman. This invention not only can be used in a wider range of applications in the future, such as eliminating the anxiety of pregnant women and predicting the expected delivery date with a high probability, but also has a simple structure and is convenient to use, especially in two or several locations. It is effective in that it can measure partial temperatures at the same time and can be used for physical education or medical purposes.
