Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a nipple assembly, and more particularly to a nipple assembly (wetting) with an alarm buzzer and a thermometer. Inside this nipple assembly, there is a heat conductive material that transmits heat from the baby's mouth to the thermal plate attached to the rear end of the main case of the nipple assembly. Contains a superior liquid (e.g. clean distilled water). The heat-sensitive plate is provided with a plurality of heat-responsive areas that respond to the heat of the liquid and display the baby's body temperature. Attached to the flange of the inner case is an IC board connected to a heat-sensitive resistor immersed in liquid. This IC board is also connected to a buzzer outside the transparent cover. When the body temperature exceeds a predetermined upper limit, a heat-sensitive resistor causes a buzzer to sound an alarm. Therefore, by monitoring the body temperature of a baby while sucking on the nipple of the nipple assembly according to the present invention, it is possible to detect whether the baby has a high fever (which may cause other symptoms or result in lifelong regret). You can protect yourself from being affected by it.

Small families have become the main unit in modern society, and in these situations babies are usually cared for by young, busy, and inexperienced parents, or left by daycare workers. Sometimes they are taken care of. In such situations, parents or other people caring for the baby may not be aware of the baby's body temperature. Especially in daycare centers, it is not possible to keep a thermometer in the mouth of every baby at all times, so it is difficult for the person caring for the baby to know which baby's body temperature is high.
This problem, which is common in modern society, is fraught with potential risks to the baby's health and life.

Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a teat with a thermometer that the baby can suck on every day.
which is sealed and filled with clean distilled water or any other suitable liquid, through which heat from the baby's mouth is transferred to a special indicator, which allows the baby's parents or To provide a nipple configured so that a person taking care of a baby can easily notice changes in the baby's body temperature.

Another object of the present invention is a teat assembly with an alarm buzzer, wherein a heat sensitive resistor is provided connected to the alarm buzzer through an IC, and the temperature of the liquid in the teat assembly is detected as an alarm. To provide a nipple assembly configured such that a buzzer is activated to emit an alarm sound when a point is reached.

To achieve the above objects of the present invention, the nipple assembly of the present invention equipped with an alarm buzzer and a thermometer includes a base, a main case, an inner case, a heat-sensitive plate, a transparent cover, an IC board, and a heat-sensitive resistor. The vessel and

The heat-sensitive plate is provided with a plurality of heat-responsive regions that react with temperature, and one of the heat-responsive regions can indicate the temperature of the liquid.
The heat-sensitive plate is attached to the rear end of the main case and covered by the transparent cover. Furthermore, the heat-sensitive plate is enclosed within the main case together with the inner case, the IC board, and the heat-sensitive resistor.

A circular waterproof cover having substantially the same size as the main case is tightly attached to the inner circumference of the main case by a waterproof adhesive applied around the cover, and the waterproof cover, the base and A sealed space is formed by the main case.

the base, the main case, the inner case,
The sealed space formed by the heat-sensitive plate and the transparent cover is filled with the liquid, and when the baby sucks the nipple assembly, the heat in the baby's mouth is transferred to the heat-sensitive plate through the liquid. One of the heat-responsive areas reacts with the temperature of the heat-sensitive plate to indicate the baby's body temperature. Further, when the temperature of the heat conductive liquid reaches a predetermined warning temperature, a signal from the heat sensitive resistor is transmitted to the alarm buzzer via the IC board,
The alarm buzzer is configured to be activated and generate an alarm sound to alert the person caring for the baby.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the person facing the baby who is sucking the nipple of the present invention can see the temperature-sensitive plate ( The color displayed by the color reaction area 51 of the heat-sensitive plate 5 can be clearly observed. Further, the cover 8 is provided with a plurality of sound-permeable openings 81. When the baby's body temperature reaches the alarm point, the heat sensitive resistor 62 of the nipple assembly is activated, so that the alarm sound of the buzzer 7 is heard through the sound opening 81.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the nipple assembly of the present invention includes the following main elements:
It consists of a base 1 with a nipple 11, a main case 2, and an inner case 3. The base 1 is made of a dense flexible material and is provided on one side with an opening for receiving the main case 2. The main case 2 is formed as a dish-shaped thin shell with a central hole 21. Main case 2

The heat sensitive resistor 62 is arranged in a hollow protective housing 61 disposed within the hollow space formed by the protrusion 31.
placed within. Further, the IC board 6 is connected to a buzzer 7 placed outside the main case 2 via an enamel-coated wire.

When the inner case 3 and the IC board 6 are assembled into the main case 2, the heat-sensitive plate 5 is attached to the rear end of the main case 2 with a waterproof adhesive. The thermosensitive plate 5 is covered and reinforced by a transparent cover 4. As a result, internal case 3,
An IC board 6 and a heat-sensitive resistor 62 are enclosed within the main case 2.

The thermosensitive plate 5 is commercially available, and a plurality of color reaction areas 51 are provided on the thermosensitive plate 5. Each color reaction area 51 has a scale printed within a predetermined range (for example, within ±3° of the baby's normal body temperature). These areas are, for example,
They are colored in different colors, such as green to indicate normal body temperature, blue to indicate body temperature above a predetermined warning temperature, and brown to indicate body temperature below warning temperature. As a result, when the heat-sensitive plate 5 reacts to the heat inside the main case 2, the body temperature of the baby sucking the nipple changes to the corresponding color-reactive area 5.

A base 1, a main case 2, a transparent cover 4,
The sealed space formed by the heat-sensitive plate 5 is filled with a liquid 12 having good heat conductivity, and heat is transferred from the baby's mouth to the liquid 12 in the nipple 11 via the nipple 11 of the base 1. It is now being transmitted to When the nipple 11 is sucked and pressed by the baby's mouth, the liquid 12 in the nipple 11 flows through the liquid guide opening (liquid guide slot) 32 in the sealed space. Thereby, the heat in the liquid is transferred to the heat sensitive plate 5 located inside the transparent cover 4, and the temperature of the liquid is displayed by one of the heat reaction areas (color reaction areas) 51. Further, when the temperature of the heat conductive liquid 12 reaches a predetermined warning temperature, a signal from the heat sensitive resistor 62 is transmitted to the alarm buzzer 7 via the IC board 6. As a result, the buzzer 7 is energized, and the sound-permeable opening 8 of the convex cover 8 is activated.
Since the sound is emitted through 1, the attention of the person caring for the baby is aroused. FIG. 4 schematically shows the circuitry used in the nipple assembly of the present invention.
