Abstract

The present invention provides a probe cover for an ear thermometer and a manufacturing method thereof. The probe cover is for sheathing a measuring probe of the ear thermometer, and an engaging means is provided at a bottom of the measuring probe. The probe cover comprises a main body of a hollow structure, an abutting segment and a base. Therein, the main body has an open end and a closed end opposite to the open end. An assembling direction extending from the open end toward the closed end is where the measuring probe is assembled along. Further, the main body has a diameter gradually reducing along the assembling direction. The closed end allows infrared rays to be received by the measuring probe to pass therethrough. Therein, the abutting segment is provided at the open end of the main body, and the base is annularly provided around a periphery of the abutting segment. The probe cover is characterized in being integrally formed, and having an annular shoulder provided at the abutting segment for accommodating the engaging means of the ear thermometer, as well as a plurality of separated protuberances, which are formed inwardly at a combining portion between the abutting segment and the base, for being engaged with the engaging means of the ear thermometer so that the probe cover can be firmly engaged with the measuring probe.
