- a charging current of 400 mA or more flows through a charging IC, a capacitor, a coil, a resistor, and other electrical components for controlling the charging operation and the battery itself.
- the electric power is P [W]
- the current is I [A]
- the resistance is R [ ⁇ ] depending on the resistance component and the charging current of each electric component
- P I ⁇ I ⁇ R Is consumed, and heat is released from each electrical component.
- the battery used is a lithium ion battery and is small and has a high capacity.
- the battery may be damaged if overcharged or overdischarged. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out charging with a predetermined profile.
- the battery voltage is measured to determine whether the battery voltage is within a chargeable range. If it is within the chargeable range, the standby charging mode is entered, and charging is started with a small current. Then, it becomes a constant current mode of A section, and charge is advanced by a large amount of constant current (430 mA in FIG. 9). In the constant current mode, a large current flows and the amount of heat generated by the parts is large, so the temperature inside the measuring instrument rises rapidly.
- the precharge mode is passed immediately after the start of charging and the constant current mode is entered.

- the environmental temperature measurement process (internal environmental temperature calculation process) 03 the internal environment detected by the thermistor (environment temperature sensor 9). The temperature information is sent to the calculation means 10.
- charging operation time information at the time of sample spotting indicating the start of sample concentration measurement is acquired from the clock 19, and the information is sent to the calculation means 10 as sample spot time information. .
- the ambient temperature measurement process (external environment temperature calculation process) 04 during the heat generation the time after the start of the charging operation is measured from the charging operation start time information and the time information at the time of the sample spotting.
- the charging operation time and the internal environmental temperature measured by the thermistor (environmental temperature sensor 9) are calculated. At this time, if the charging operation time is not less than a certain value, the temperature of the thermistor 9 can be used as it is. Therefore, it is also determined whether to calculate or use the temperature of the thermistor 9 as it is.
- the temperature inside the measuring instrument 2 returns to a temperature substantially equal to the environmental temperature at the start of charging after 120 minutes from the start of charging. For this reason, it is determined that the environmental temperature inside the measuring instrument 2 measured by the thermistor (environmental temperature sensor 9) substantially matches the environmental temperature outside the measuring instrument 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, since the temperature inside the measuring instrument 2 is equal to the environmental temperature at the start of charging within 60 seconds after the start of charging, the same determination as described above is performed. Therefore, if the time of spotting is within 60 seconds after charging starts or after 120 minutes, the internal environment temperature correction process (temperature correction process) 06 uses the environmental temperature measured by the thermistor (environment temperature sensor 9) as the various correction items. It is determined as a temperature for temperature correction. Using this temperature correction temperature, the measurement object concentration information calculated in the sample concentration measurement process 01 (corresponding to the measurement object concentration measurement process 01 in FIG. 6A) is corrected.
- the exothermic environmental temperature measurement step 04 if the time at which the sample is spotted is less than 120 minutes after 60 seconds from the start of charging, the measurement is corrected from the internal environmental temperature measured by the thermistor (environment temperature sensor 9). The ambient temperature outside the vessel 2 is calculated.
- the storage means 8 holds in advance the data shown in FIG. 7 (external environment temperature calculation table) showing the transition of the charging time at each environmental temperature outside the measuring instrument 2 and the environmental temperature inside the measuring instrument 2.
- the environmental temperature outside the measuring device 2 can be calculated from the time and the environmental temperature inside the measuring device 2.

- the environmental temperature is 28 ° C.
- the external environmental temperature outside the measuring device 2 is 20 ° C.
- the external environment temperature correction step (temperature correction step) 07 the external environment temperature 20 ° C. thus determined is determined as the temperature correction temperature of various correction items. Using this temperature correction temperature, the measurement object concentration information calculated in the sample concentration measurement step 01 is corrected.
- FIG. 10 shows the case where the detected temperature at the spotting time of the sample is on the data of FIG. 7 as the temperature calculation table (environment temperature calculation table). It may be calculated based on the data of 7.
- FIG. 23 is a graph in which the characteristic curves of the outside air temperature of 10 ° C., 20 ° C., and 30 ° C. in FIG. As can be seen from this graph, the slopes of the three characteristic curves almost coincide with each other after a predetermined time has elapsed (15 to 22 min) immediately after the start of charging. Therefore, in this time zone, in the outside environment temperature correction step 07 (see FIG. 6A), a common temperature calculation table (environment temperature calculation table, environment temperature correction information) is used regardless of the outside air temperature. Can be used.

Therefore, even after the end of charging, in the external environment temperature correction step 07, a common temperature calculation table can be used regardless of the outside air temperature. That is, the temperature calculation table can be simplified by sharing the temperature calculation table within the range.
- 25 (a) to 25 (c) are enlarged views of the characteristic curves of the outside air temperatures of 10 ° C., 20 ° C., and 30 ° C. before and after the end of charging in FIG.

- a common temperature calculation table as described above can also be used.
- the measurement result in the thermistor (environment temperature sensor 9) is compared with the temperature data of each table in the measuring instrument 2, If the difference is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, it may be determined as an error and notified on the display unit 11 or the like. Thereby, for example, when the outside air temperature is less than 10 ° C. or 45 ° C. or more, it is determined that the use environment temperature condition of the measuring device 2 is not satisfied, the temperature is not calculated, and the use is stopped. Can be encouraged.

- the spotting time (charging operation time information) is 50 minutes
- the temperature of the environmental temperature sensor 9 at that time is 35 degrees or more or 20 If it is less than the degree, it can be seen that there is a large difference compared to the graph shown in FIG. For this reason, it can be determined that the result is strange and an error is detected.

T1:環境温度センサ209aで検出した温度[℃]
T2:環境温度センサ209bで検出した温度[℃]
α :補正係数
補正係数αは、測定器202内部の部品配置や外装形状に影響される係数であり、機種毎に係数は変化する。図19(a)~図19(c)の測定データの補正係数は、0.4である。
以上のように、本実施形態による液体試料測定方法および測定器202では、バイオセンサ201を測定器202に対して装着してから、バイオセンサ201に血液が点着された後、測定器202内に備えられた二次電池221と環境温度センサ209a,209bによって、二次電池221の充電時間と充電時の環境温度とを計測する。そして、充電時の環境温度を特定することにより、充電時環境温度をリアルタイムで測定して環境温度(外環境温度)を特定する。さらに、この環境温度(外環境温度)に基づいて、バイオセンサ201に点着された血液中のグルコース濃度などの各種分析対象物を補正することができる。
β:補正係数
例えば、充電開始後0~10min経過までの範囲では、2℃程度の誤差が生じるため、補正係数β(≒2℃)を用いて、環境温度Tを算出すればよい。
T=T1-α×(T2-T1)+γ ・・・式3
T=T1-α×(T2-T1)+δ ・・・式4
γ,δ:補正係数
これにより、図19(a)~図19(c)および図20(a)~図20(c)に示すように、充電開始後0~10minの範囲内における環境温度Tの算出精度をさらに向上させることができる。
従来より、上述した測定器2に搭載されている充電部としての充電池(二次電池)の充電時間は、電池残量と充電方法(充電電流値の大きさ)に応じて変化することが知られている。
本実施形態では、上述した2つの要素(電池残量と充電方法(充電電流))に加えて、環境温度データおよび充電開始からの動作時間の2つの要素を加えた計4つのパラメータに基づいて、充電完了時間を予測する。
具体的には、図2に示すように、測定器2には、発熱材料の一つである二次電池21と、充電回路33と、演算手段(電池残量測定部)10と、表示部11が搭載されている。充電回路33は、二次電池21を充電する。演算手段10は、二次電池21の電池残量を、充電回路33を経由して求める。表示部11は、濃度測定した日時および充電動作時間などを計測するための時計19および各種の測定情報、状況を表示する。
ここで、二次電池21には、ニッケル水素電池やリチウムイオン電池などが用いられている。
また、充電完了までの予測時間の通知は、測定器2に備えられた表示部11を使用して、充電完了までの残り時間を表示する方法や、聴覚の不自由な人には、音声または振動を使用する方法を用いればよい。
本発明のさらに他の実施形態に係る測定器について、図26を用いて説明すれば以下の通りである。
