1. A core body temperature measurement device comprising:
a body configured to be fixed to an ear canal of a user; and
an operation unit combined with a front side of the body, and having a sensor part,
wherein the sensor part measures a core body temperature of the user when the operation unit is exposed to the ear canal,
wherein the operation unit comprises:
a cover frame configured to form an outer shape of the operation unit;
a rotation part disposed inside of the cover frame, and configured to be rotated upon application of a driving force thereon; and
a moving part comprising a first moving part that is combined to one half of the rotation part and a second moving part that is combined to an other half of the rotation part and configured to move along an inner side of the cover frame when the rotation part is rotated,
wherein the sensor part is fixed to the second moving part, and
wherein the sensor part is exposed outside of the cover frame to measure the core body temperature, and is selectively concealed inside of the cover frame, according to the movement of the second moving part.
