Patent ID: 6976783

Claim:
An electronic clinical thermometer comprising: a measuring body including a power switch, a display and an incomplete temperature-measuring circuit lacking at least two electronic elements and being controlled by an integrated circuit; a temperature sensing device including a measuring probe, a temperature sensing section, a connection seat and at least two electronic elements which are not present in said measuring body; and a connection structure mounted between said measuring body and said temperature-sensing device and being a conductive member; said electronic elements not present in said measuring body being a reference resistor and a temperature sensor; wherein said connection structure is positioned between said measuring body and said temperature sensing device, said connection structure comprising a cap for keeping a plurality of resilient conductive members on said circuit, said resilient conductive members protruding partially out of said cap, a sliding slot formed on said connection seat for mounting a control board having one side being connected to said conductive wire of said temperature sensor, said control board being provided with metal contacts for the mounting of said reference resistor; whereby when said measuring body is connected with said temperature sensing device via said connection structure, said incomplete electronic clinical thermometer circuit of said measuring body will be connected to said electronic elements of said temperature sensing device to form an effective and complete temperature measuring circuit.
