[0032] Below, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 7 A specific first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0033] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the optical subcutaneous fat thickness measuring device 10 has a rectangular plate-shaped main body substrate 11 , and a disc-shaped measuring plate 12 is provided at the center of the lower surface of the main body 11 . The measurement plate 12 is formed of black ABS with a diameter of about 120 mm, and the lower surface of the measurement plate 12 is pressed against the surface of the living body 20 when measuring the subcutaneous fat thickness. Furthermore, the surface of the living body 20 includes three layers of skin 20a, subcutaneous fat 20b under the skin 20a, and muscle 20c under the subcutaneous fat 20b.

[0034] A light emitting element 13 is provided in the measurement plate 12 as a light irradiation section. The light emitting element 13 is composed of an LED having a center wavelength of 750 nan...

[0056] Next, use Figure 8 A second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In addition, in the following description, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same structure as the 1st Embodiment already demonstrated, and the overlapping description is abbreviate|omitted or abbreviate|omitted.

[0057] Such as Figure 8 As shown, in the optical subcutaneous fat thickness measuring device 10 of the second embodiment, one or more receiving recesses 11a are formed on the lower surface of the main body substrate 11, and a predetermined weight is stored in the receiving recesses 11a. Young's modulus of the compression spring 31 . Pressure spring 31 one ends ( Figure 8 upper middle end) abuts against the inner top surface of the receiving recess 11a, and the other end ( Figure 8 middle and lower end) and the surface of the measuring board 12 ( Figure 8 upper middle) abutment. Then, the pressure spring 31 uses the spring force to force the measuremen...

Abstract

The invention provides an optical subcutaneous fat thickness measuring device capable of measuring the subcutaneous fat thickness at different parts of an organism even by means of simple operation of one input part and capable of enabling the device to be miniaturized with low cost. The optical subcutaneous fat thickness measuring device (10) comprises a light-emitting component (13), a first acceptance component (14) and a second acceptance component (15); a database part (17) memorizing functions shared in each part of the organism, wherein the functions cause the acceptance parameter value obtained according to the acceptance amount in an acceptance part to be related to the value of the subcutaneous fat thickness of each part of the organism; a control part (16) deducing the value of the subcutaneous fat thickness reference to the functions of the database part according to the acceptance parameter value; an input button (10b) indicating the control part (16) to begin to measure the subcutaneous fat thickness; and a display part (10a) reporting the value of the subcutaneous fat thickness deduced by the control part to a measured person.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical subcutaneous fat thickness measuring device capable of optically measuring the thickness of subcutaneous fat. Background technique [0002] An optical subcutaneous fat thickness measuring device has previously been proposed, which measures the thickness of subcutaneous fat inside a living body by irradiating light from the light-irradiating part to the surface of the living body and receiving the light propagated inside the living body by the light-receiving part . Among such optical subcutaneous fat thickness measurement devices, the subcutaneous fat measurement device disclosed in Patent Document 1 can measure the subcutaneous fat thickness with high precision without being affected by differences in skin color or the like. The subcutaneous fat measurement device of Patent Document 1 includes at least one light-transmitting element, a plurality of light-receiving elements, and a fat thickness estimation unit. [...
