PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a urine temperature measuring device for measuring urine temperature as accurately as possible in measuring the urine temperature in a subject.SOLUTION: The urine discharged by the subject collides with a bowl surface, and then, spreads in a deployed urinary flow area which is formed in the circumference of a urinary flow collision position, so that a temperature detection area for measuring the temperature with the use of temperature measuring elements is set in the temperature detection urinary flow area with a prescribed temperature distribution in the deployed urinary flow area, thereby the urine is deployed within the temperature detection urinary flow area with the temperature detection area set therein, and so that the urine temperature is reliably measured. Besides, within the temperature detection urinary flow area, the fresh urine in the urinary flow, which is not cooled in a urine discharge route, deploys after colliding against the bowl surface, consequently the urine temperature closest to the temperature when urine is discharged, is measured and hence, highly accurate measurement is performed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】被験者の尿温を測定するにあたり、可及的高精度な尿温測定を行うことのできる尿温測定装置を提供すること。【解決手段】被験者が排泄した尿は、ボウル面で衝突した後は尿流衝突位置の周りに形成される展開尿流領域内で広がるため、その展開尿流領域内の所定の温度分布の検温尿流領域に測温素子によって温度を計測する検温領域を設定することにより、検温領域を設定する検温尿流領域内では尿が展開されるので確実な尿温測定が可能となる。また、検温尿流領域内では、尿流内部にあった放尿経路で冷却されていないフレッシュな尿がボウル面に衝突後に展開されるので、排泄された時の温度に可及的に近い尿温を測ることが可能となるため、高精度な測定ができる。【選択図】図1
