However, the above-mentioned cooperating structure of the hooking portion 904 and the axles 902, 903 can only drive the hooking portion 904 to hook the rubber sleeve 910 when the probe 901 moves toward the opening 92, so the moving path of the probe 901 must provide the same The moving path of the rubber sleeve is equal or longer to complete the action of transporting the rubber sleeve 910 to the opening 92, so the volume of the ear thermometer is more difficult to miniaturize, and the manufacturing method of the rubber sleeve is complicated and bulky. This kind of ear thermometer can only accommodate a few rubber sleeves.

Wherein, the transmission member 601 and the transmission member 602 are engaged with the accommodating portion 701 and the accommodating portion 702 respectively, and the transmission member 603 and the transmission member 604 are disposed on two sides of the opening 12 respectively. The storage part 702 is rotated by the rotation of the transmission member 602 . The rotation of the receiving part 702 will drive the protection film 72 to move, and make the transmission members 601, 603, 604 rotate. Furthermore, the protective film 72 is transported from the accommodating part 701 to the accommodating part 702 and passes through the opening 12 .

The driving device 50 of this embodiment is composed of a plurality of gears 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 to drive the transmission device 60 to transport the protective film 72 from the accommodating portion 701 to the accommodating portion 702 . However, the present invention should not be limited to this embodiment. In other embodiments, different gear structures or axle structures can also be designed according to different designs. For example, the sensing module 20 is designed to directly engage with the gear 54 without Through the gear 52 and the gear 53 and the like.

In order to further describe the actuation process of the physiological sensor of this embodiment in detail. First, please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 3A together. FIG. 3A is a structural schematic diagram of the physiological sensor in which the sensing module of FIG. 2A moves to a preset position. As shown in FIG. 3A , when the sensing module 20 moves toward the opening 12 , the resisting device 30 also moves toward the opening 12 along with the sensing module 20 . Please refer to FIG. 2A , when the sensing module 20 moves to the point where the connecting member 31 of the driving device is engaged with the gear 52 , it drives the gear set to perform a series of actuating mechanisms. Firstly, the gear 52 rotates in the counterclockwise direction and indirectly drives the connecting gear 540 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction. This rotating force causes the connecting member 543 to be driven to rotate in the counterclockwise direction, thereby making the connection between the connecting member 543 and the connecting gear 542 downward. movement, and then the engaging gear 542 is engaged with the gear 56 , and the engaging gear 541 is separated from the gear 55 . When the gear 540 continues to rotate, it drives the connecting gear 542 to rotate clockwise, which makes the gear 56 rotate counterclockwise, and then drives the transmission member 602 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the protective film transmission device 70 is transferred from the accommodating part 701 to the receiving part 702 transports the protective film 72 , as shown in FIG. 3A , wherein the protective film 72 has a plurality of regions including a region 721 and a region 722 .

Please refer to FIG. 2B again. FIG. 2B is a partial perspective view of the side of the physiological sensor when the sensing module in FIG. 2A moves toward the opening direction and separates from the driving device. When the sensing module 20 continues to move toward the opening 12 until the driving device linkage member 31 is separated from the gear 52, as shown in FIG. 2B , the transmission member 602 is no longer driven by the movement of the sensing module 20 to transport the protective film 72. The protective film 72 stops moving. Then, please refer to FIG. 3B again. FIG. 3B is a structural schematic diagram of the physiological sensor in which the sensing module in FIG. 2A moves to a preset position. When the sensing module 20 moves to the preset position 23 indicated by the dotted line, the resisting device 30 is also driven by the sensing module 20 to move to the preset position 23 , so that the area 721 is fixed on the opening 12 .

Please refer to FIG. 3C again. FIG. 3C is a schematic structural diagram of the physiological sensor in which the sensing module in FIG. 2A moves beyond a preset position. When the sensing module 20 continues to move beyond the preset position 23 and passes through the opening 12, the area 721 is properly fixed and evenly covered on the sensing module 20 by the force of the sensing module 20 and the resisting device 30, because the area 721 is uniform Covering the sensing module 20 can reduce the interference of the protective film 72 on temperature sensing.

Please also refer to FIG. 2C , when the sensing module 20 moves until the protective film 72 stretches and covers the sensing module 20 evenly, the projection 32 is moved by the movement of the sensing module 20 and is locked on the projection. 33, so the sensing module 20 is fixed. Thereby, the user can keep the protection film 72 evenly covering the sensing module 20 without continuously exerting force, which increases the convenience of the user.

Please refer to FIG. 2D and FIG. 3D together. FIG. 2D is a partial perspective view of the side of the physiological sensor where the sensing module of FIG. 2A moves to the opposite direction of the opening until the sensing module is connected with the driving device. FIG. 3D is a schematic structural diagram of the physiological sensor when the sensing module moves in the opposite direction of the opening in the first embodiment. Referring to FIG. 3D , when the sensing module 20 moves in the opposite direction of the opening 12 as indicated by the arrow, the resisting device 30 retreats as the sensing module 20 retreats. Referring again to FIG. 2D , when the sensing module 20 retreats to the opposite direction of the opening 12 to the driving device linkage member 31 and then engages with the gear 52 and continues to move, it further drives a series of actuating mechanisms of the gear set. The gear 52 is driven to rotate clockwise by the movement of the linkage member 31 of the driving device. The gear 52 rotates clockwise and indirectly drives the engaging gear 540 to rotate clockwise. This turning force causes the connecting member 543 to be driven to rotate clockwise, and then the part where the connecting member 543 is connected to the engaging gear 541 moves slightly to the left, so that the engaging gear 541 is engaged with the gear 55 and the engaging gear 542 is separated from the gear 56. When the sensing module 20 continues to move, it indirectly drives the gear 55 to rotate clockwise. The rotation of the gear 55 drives the gear 56 to rotate counterclockwise, and then drives the transmission member 602 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the transmission device 60 transports the protective film 72 from the accommodating part 701 to the accommodating part 702 . Through the above-mentioned operation as shown in FIG. 2D , the area 722 as shown in FIG. 3D is transported to the moving path of the sensing module 20 to the opening 12 , and replaces the area 721 , and the area 721 is transported to the storage portion 702 . With the driving device of this embodiment, the protective film can be transported forward and backward by the sensing module, so the used protective film area can be removed and the unused area can be moved to the opening at the same time, which can avoid falling A user uses the dirty protective film area and makes full use of the moving space of the sensing module to completely transport the protective film area to the opening.

In addition, please refer to FIGS. 2A to 2D and FIG. 4 together. FIG. 4 is a flow chart of the method for transferring the protective film of the physiological sensor of the present invention. In this embodiment, the movement of the sensing module 20 toward the opening 12 further drives the engaging gear 540 to enter step S30, and drives the engaging gear 540 to rotate in a counterclockwise direction, so as to drive the engaging gear 542 to connect with the transmission member 602 and drive the engaging gear. The gear 541 is separated from the transmission member 602, and the rotation of the engaging gear 542 will drive the transmission member 602 to transport the protective film 72 from the accommodating portion 701 to the accommodating portion 702, and when the sensing module 20 moves to the opposite direction of the opening 12, and enters the Step S31, drive the engaging gear 540 to rotate in a clockwise direction, so as to drive the engaging gear 541 to connect with the transmission member 602 and drive the engaging gear 542 to separate from the transmission member 602, and the rotation of the engaging gear 541 will drive the transmission member 602 to make the protective film 72 It is transported from the storage unit 701 to the storage unit 702 .

In this embodiment, the driving device is driven by the sensing module 20 moving in the direction of the opening 12 and its reverse direction, and then the transmission device is driven to transport the protective film 72 from the accommodating part 701 to the direction of the accommodating part 702, except that the used The area of the protective film is moved away from the opening 12 to avoid secondary use and fully utilize the moving space of the sensing module to completely transport the area of the protective film to the opening 12 .
