Ear Thermometer using optical fiber transmission
First Claim
1. An ear thermometer using optical fiber transmission, the ear thermometer primarily comprising:
- a housing having therein an accommodating space having a movable structure,an optical fiber conductor settled in the accommodating space of the housing having two ends each formed with a convex surface, jutting out from the housing,a thermal sensor settled in the accommodating space of the housing and connected with an end of the optical fiber conductor having four pins, anda circuit board settled in the accommodating space of the housing being connected with two said pins of the thermal sensor,wherein the optical fiber conductor receives a thermal radiation from inside a human auditory meatus and transmits the thermal radiation to the thermal sensor so that the thermal sensor detects the thermal radiation and determines a reading of a human body temperature accordingly.

Abstract
An ear thermometer using optical fiber transmission includes a housing, an optical fiber conductor, a thermal sensor, and a circuit board. When the ear thermometer is used to take a human body temperature, a convex surface at one end of the optical fiber conductor collects thermal radiation caused by the human body temperature inside a human auditory meatus, and the optical fiber conductor transmits the thermal radiation to an opposite end thereof so that a convex surface at the opposite end evenly scatters the thermal radiation toward the thermal sensor. Thereby the thermal sensor senses the thermal radiation and determines the human body temperature accordingly.
