Radiation thermometer comprising a heated measuring tip
First Claim
1. An infrared radiation thermometer, especially an ear thermometer for measuring temperature, comprising an infrared sensor, a measuring tip which can be heated by a heating element, an actuating device which can be operated by a user, a control device and a display device, characterised in that the control device switches off the heating element after the user has actuated the actuating device, after a certain time has elapsed, carries out a plurality of temperature measurements one after the other, determines the temperature to be displayed from the measured temperatures or generates an error message, and at the latest after a maximum measurement time has elapsed or after a maximum number of temperature measurements, displays the temperature to be displayed or an error message on the display device.

Abstract
The invention relates to an infrared thermometer, especially an ear thermometer for measuring temperature, comprising an infrared sensor, a measuring tip which can be heated by a heating element, an actuating device which can be operated by a user, a control device and a display device. The invention also relates to a method for measuring temperature, especially by means of a radiation thermometer having a heatable measuring tip. Said control device switches off the heating element after the user has actuated an actuating device. After a certain amount of time, a plurality of temperature measurements are successively carried out, and the temperature to be displayed is determined from said measured temperatures or an error message is generated. At the latest, after a maximum measuring time has elapsed or after a maximum number of temperatures have been measured, the temperature to be displayed or an error message is displayed on the display device.

7. A method for measuring temperature by means of a radiation thermometer comprising a heatable measuring tip, especially an ear thermometer for measuring temperature,
characterised in that after switching on the thermometer, a heating element is switched on which heats the measuring tip of the thermometer, after actuating an actuating device, the heating element is switched off, after a certain time has elapsed a plurality of temperature measurements are carried out one after the other, the temperature to be displayed is determined from the measured temperatures or an error message is generated, and at the latest after a maximum measurement time has elapsed or after a maximum number of temperature measurements, the temperature to be displayed or the error message is displayed on the display device.
