Description

  This device is designed to warn of the possibility of heat stroke and cold, especially in the summer and winter, so that it can quickly recognize the deterioration of weather conditions that affect the human body, and is excellent in portability. The present invention relates to a portable health management device.

  Conventionally, various machines and instruments relating to human health management have been developed, but many of them are intended to directly monitor the modulation of the human body and give warnings related to health management (for example, Patent Document 1). reference). The technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 monitors the blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature of a human body, and notifies them when an abnormal state occurs. Changes in the environment, that is, changes in temperature and humidity. The human body is notified of adverse effects on the human body based on physiological data, and does not have a preventive function for prompting countermeasures in advance.

  By the way, it is known that heat stroke affects not only sports activities but also everyday homes and workplaces. As a preventive measure against this heat stroke, “Guidelines for Prevention of Heat Stroke in Daily Life” are presented by the Japanese Society of Biometeorology. In this guideline, WBGT (Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature / wet bulb black bulb temperature) is adopted as the “temperature reference”, and depending on the temperature level, “danger: 31 ° C or higher”, “strict warning: 28-31 ° C”, “ Warning: 25 to 28 ° C. ”and“ Caution: less than 25 ° C. ”.

In addition, it is known that the cold is caused by influenza virus (viral cold), and the survival of the influenza virus is related to water vapor (absolute humidity g / m ² ) contained in the air. ing. That is, depending on the humidity level, there are four stages: “Danger: 7 g / m ² ”, “Severe Warning: 7-11 g / m ² ”, “Warning: 11-17 g / m ² ”, “Almost Safe: 17 g / m ² ”. It is divided into.

  Thus, although it is possible to quantitatively judge the incidence of cold caused by heat stroke or influenza virus in comparison with provisional standards, it is troublesome to carry instruments that can measure temperature and humidity on a daily basis. Usually, since the temperature and humidity are judged by intuitive judgment, the morbidity cannot be reduced in reality.

  Under such circumstances, it is important to understand the temperature and humidity of the environment even in general adults. However, the prevention of heat stroke and cold is relatively important, especially for those with weak illness such as infants and the elderly. However, the reality is that there is little awareness to prevent this by using machinery and equipment. Therefore, an apparatus that can uniquely recognize the frequent occurrence of heat stroke or a cold and is not troublesome to carry has been demanded. The present invention has been made based on such a demand, and provides a portable health management device that can be adapted to a heat stroke mode and a cold mode by a mode switching switch with a single integrated device. It is intended to do.

  Therefore, the present invention solves the above problems by means described below. That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, an integrated control unit driven by a battery is provided in a portable casing, and a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor connected to the control section are provided. In a portable health care apparatus in which a plurality of indicators, a mode change switch, a display unit, and a power switch are connected to the control unit, a heat stroke prevention mode or a cold prevention mode is provided by the mode change switch. When the heat stroke prevention mode is selected by the mode changeover switch, the environmental temperature is displayed on the display unit in real time based on a signal from a temperature sensor input to the control unit. In addition to displaying, the plurality of indicators stepwise display the probability of heat stroke, while the mode selector switch selects the cold prevention mode. In response to the signals from the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor input to the control unit, the display unit displays the environmental temperature and the humidity in real time, and the plurality of indicators display the probability of cold morbidity in stages. To be a portable health care device.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the portable health care apparatus according to the first aspect, each of the plurality of indicators emits light in a different color.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the portable health management device according to the first aspect, a sound generator controlled by the control unit is provided in the casing, and the plurality of indicators are arbitrarily lit. In step, a sound is emitted from the sound generator.

  According to the portable health care device of the present invention, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are connected to an integrated control unit, and an indicator corresponding to the morbidity probability is emitted step by step based on signals from both sensors. Therefore, it is possible to uniquely recognize the probability of suffering from heat stroke and cold even in an infant or elderly person as well as in general adults. In addition, since it can be miniaturized, it is excellent in portability and facilitates daily health management.

In addition, a temperature sensor 8, a humidity sensor 9, and a sound generator 11, which will be described later, face the window holes 2b and 2c formed at the upper and lower ends of the central portion of the housing 2 from the inside.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the electrical system of the portable health care apparatus 1 of the present invention. As shown in the figure, an integrated control unit (CPU) 10 including a microprocessor has a temperature sensor 8, The humidity sensor 9, the sound generator 11, the display element 3, and the LED indicators 6 a, 6 b, 6 c and 6 d are connected and driven and controlled by the control unit 10. A small battery (button battery or the like) 7 is connected to the control unit 10, and current from the battery 7 is connected / disconnected by the power switch 4. Further, the mode changeover switch 5 instructs the control unit 10 to select “heat stroke prevention mode” or “cold prevention mode”.

In the above electric system configuration, the lighting timing control by the controller 10 of the LED indicators 6a, 6b, 6c and 6d is set as in the following example. That is, in order to warn of the danger against heat stroke (31 ° C. or higher) or the danger against cold (7 g / m ² ), the LED indicator 6a is lit red, and strict attention to heat stroke (28 to 31 ° C.) or strict attention to cold. When warning (7 to 11 g / m ² ), the LED indicator 6b is lit in orange. When warning for heat stroke (25-28 ° C.) or for cold (11-17 g / m ² ), the LED indicator 6c lights yellow, and attention to heat stroke (less than 25 ° C.) or almost safety for cold When warning (less than 17 g / m ² ), the LED indicator 6d is lit in green.
