Electronic sphygmomanometer

An electronic sphygmomanometer comprising:

• a cuff that is worn on a measurement area;
• an inflation and deflation unit that adjusts a pressure applied to the cuff;
• a pressure detecting unit comprising a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor, that detects a cuff pressure within the cuff based on pressure information outputted from the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor;
• and
• a blood pressure calculation unit that calculates a blood pressure based on a change in the cuff pressure detected by the pressure detecting unit,
• wherein the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor are disposed upon a first main surface of an internal circuit board,
• wherein the first pressure sensor comprises a first air port that protrudes on a second main surface that is on an opposite side of the internal circuit board as the first main surface,
• wherein the second pressure sensor comprises a second air port that protrudes on the second main surface of the internal circuit board,
• wherein a pressure sensor air tube that allows the first air port and the second air port to communicate with each other is connected to the first air port and the second air port,
• wherein a branching air tube that branches from a cuff air tube connected to the cuff is connected to the pressure sensor air tube, and
• wherein the pressure sensor air tube comprises:
• a first air port connection head connected to the first air port;
• a second air port connection head connected to the second air port;
• a first connection tube provided in the first air port connection head and to which the branching air tube is connected;
• and
• a second connection tube that connects the first air port connection head and the second air port connection head,
• wherein the second connection tube has a stress reduction function such that a thickness of a wall of the second connection tube is less than a thickness of a wall of the first connection tube, so that the stress of the second connection tube between the first air port connection head and the second air port connection head is reduced, and an elastomer is used for forming the first and second connection tubes,
• wherein the wall of the first connection tube comprises a first inner wall delineated by a first inner diameter,
• wherein the wall of the second connection tube comprises a second inner wall delineated by a second inner diameter, and
• wherein the second inner diameter of the second connection tube is equal to the first inner diameter of the first connection tube.
