Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, body composition weighing scales are widely used at home, but measuring devices for measuring the balance of the center of gravity of the subject are not widely used at home due to problems in safety and usability.
Specifically, since the subject has to stand on one foot with eyes closed when measuring the balance of the center of gravity, there is a risk of falling
In addition, when measuring the balance of the center of gravity using the center of gravity swing meter, the subject must maintain an upright posture for about 30 seconds in a state where the hands are not forced to relax, and it is annoying, and the reproducibility of the measured value is caused because the posture is easy to change during the measurement. poor

no. 1 approach

[0040] First refer to Figure 1 to Figure 6 The structure and measurement operation of the body composition weighing scale according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0041] [structure of the body composition weighing scale]

[0042] Such as figure 1 As shown in (a), the main components of the body composition scale 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention include: a platform 2 on which the feet of the subject are placed; load sensors 3a, 3b, and 3c built into the platform 2; Electrodes 4a, 4b apply a weak current to the soles of the examinee; voltage measuring electrodes 5a, 5b detect the voltage value of the soles of the examinee; a display unit 6 that displays various information; a power switch 7 switches the composition of the weighing scale 1 on / off; and an input unit 11 operated by the subject. Such as figure 1 As shown in (b), the load sensors 3a, 3b, and 3c are fixed on the support plate 8, which is arranged ...

no. 2 approach

[0057] Refer below Figure 7 to Figure 10 The structure of the body composition weighing scale according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0058] Such as Figure 7 As shown, the body composition weighing scale 1 of the second embodiment of the present invention is configured such that, in the structure of the body composition weighing scale of the above-mentioned first embodiment, the operation unit 22 composed of the display unit 6 and the input unit 11 can be accessed from the step 2. Easy to assemble and disassemble. In addition, the operation unit 22 is electrically connected to the step 2 via a connection cable 23 , and the connection cable 23 is in a state of being wound by a bobbin inside the step 2 . In this body composition scale 1, when a fixed posture is maintained during the measurement operation, the subject 60 as Figure 8 The extended arms are shown holding the operating portion 22 in front of the body. And in the measure...

no. 3 approach

[0060] Refer below Figure 11 , Figure 12 The structure of the body composition weighing scale according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0061] Such as Figure 11 As shown, in the body composition weighing scale of the third embodiment of the present invention, in the structure of the body composition weighing scale of the above-mentioned first embodiment, the load sensors 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d are arranged at the mark indicating the foot position (current The outside of the application electrodes 4a, 4b and the voltage measuring electrodes 5a, 5b). In order to accurately measure the position of the center of gravity of the subject, the center of gravity must be located in the area 26 connecting the centers of the load cells 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d. Figure 12 If the posture of the subject shown is significantly inclined and the center of gravity position 73 is not within the area 26, the position of the center of gravity cannot be accurately meas...

Abstract

The present invention provides a body constitution weighing scale which can measure the body weight, body constitution components and gravity centre balancing of people to be tested easily and safely by an apparatus. The body constitution weighing scale is integrally provided with a weighing scale section (5), a body constitution measuring section (20), as well as a balancing capability measuring section (17). Thus, the body constitution weighing scale can measure the body weight, body constitution components and gravity centre balancing of people to be tested easily and safely by an apparatus in a shorter time. In addition, the body constitution weighing scale can synthetically judge whether the sport is appropriate by measuring the body weight, body constitution components and gravity centre balancing of people to be tested after sport.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a body composition weighing scale which integrally measures the body weight, body composition and center of gravity balance of a subject. Background technique [0002] In recent years, attention has been paid to the prevention and control of lifestyle-related diseases at home. While measuring the body weight, the bioelectrical impedance method (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method) is used to measure the body weight of the measurement site based on the bioelectrical impedance of the subject. Body composition scales that measure body composition such as fat percentage are widely used at home. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 2760471 [0004] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent No. 2710223 [0005] Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent No. 2760472 [0006] However, while scales for body composition are widely used at home, measuring devices for measuring the balance of the center of gravity of a sub...
