Sphygmomanometer and charging unit for sphygmomanometer
First Claim
1. A charging unit comprising:
- a sphygmomanometer comprising;
an expandable/contractable fluid bag supplied with fluid;
a bag-shaped cover body that accommodates the fluid bag, wherein the bag-shaped cover body is configured to attach the fluid bag to a site to be measured;
an expansion and contraction mechanism for expanding and contracting the fluid bag; and
a power supply unit comprising;
a secondary battery for supplying driving power to the expansion and contraction mechanism, anda power reception unit for receiving power for charging the secondary battery,wherein the power supply unit is arranged in the bag-shaped cover body,wherein the power reception unit is supplied with power through an electromagnetic inductive action from a power transmission unit arranged in a non-contact state with the power reception unit, andwherein the power reception unit is arranged in a zone between one end of the fluid bag and an end of the bag-shaped cover body so that the power reception unit does not overlap with the fluid bag;
a charging device for charging the secondary battery,wherein the charging device comprises;
a positioning unit positioned with respect to the bag-shaped cover body; and
the power transmission unit arranged to face the power reception unit in a non-contact state when the positioning unit is positioned with respect to the bag-shaped cover body,wherein the bag-shaped cover body has a hollow tubular shape with a display unit mounted on an outer surface of the bag-shaped cover body and the power reception unit located adjacent the display unit, andwherein the positioning unit is a shaft member having a solid tubular shape with the power transmission unit arranged on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft member, so that when the shaft member is inserted into the hollow tubular bag-shaped cover body, the power transmission unit and the power reception unit are positioned to face each other.

Abstract
A sphygmomanometer includes an expandable/contractable air bag supplied with air; a bag-shaped cover body for accommodating the air bag and for attaching the air bag to a site to be measured; an expansion and contraction mechanism for expanding and contracting the air bag; and a power supply unit arranged in the bag-shaped cover body. The power supply unit includes a battery for supplying driving power to the expansion and contraction mechanism, and a non-contact power reception unit for receiving power for charging the battery. The non-contact power reception unit is supplied with power through an electromagnetic inductive action from a non-contact power transmission unit arranged in a non-contact state with the non-contact power reception unit.
