Abstract:
1. A rapid response electronic clinical thermometer having a measuring end portion adhered to a metal head portion having a temperature sensing element and a conductive wire joining the temperature sensing element, characterized in that the conductive wire is adhered to an inner wall of the metal head portion such that the conductive wire is not a heat dissipation portion for heat energy surrounding the sensing element, and further acts as a source of heat energy compensation so as to rapidly indicate a temperature, thereby reducing temperature measuring time, wherein the conductive wire adhered to the inner wall of the metal head portion is at least 0.3 cm in length, and a fixing element is mounted within the metal head portion, the fixing element being a hemisphere shape structure having an outer diameter that is larger than an inner diameter of the metal head portion before the fixing element is mounted into the metal head portion, and the inner wall of the metal head portion is closely engaged with an outer circumferential surface of the fixing element after the fixing element is mounted into the metal head portion, thereby firmly keeping the conductive wire in position.
