Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of human body measurement technology, and in particular to a human body measurement device and its method of use. Background Technology
[0002] Body scales are widely used in homes, gyms, and medical institutions, primarily for measuring body weight. They are one of the most basic and common tools in people's daily health management. With technological advancements, body scales have evolved from traditional mechanical pointer models to electronic digital displays, significantly improving measurement accuracy and user experience.
[0003] In the existing technology, in order to meet the measurement of human body circumference, body scales are integrated with electronic tape measures. Users manually pull out the tape measure and wrap it around their waist. The electronic tape measure automatically reads and uploads the waist circumference data. However, this structure requires the user to hold the tape measure manually and continuously, which is inconvenient to use and measure. Moreover, the measurement accuracy is affected by human operation and cannot meet the requirements for accurate measurement. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a human body measuring device and its usage method, so as to solve the problem that the existing measuring structure requires the user to manually hold the tape measure continuously, which is inconvenient to use and the measurement accuracy is affected by human operation, thus failing to meet the requirements of accurate measurement.
[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] On one hand, the present invention provides a human body measuring device, comprising:
[0007] Base;
[0008] A weighing pan and a support rod are provided, both of which are mounted on the base. The weighing pan is used to measure the weight of the human body to be measured.
[0009] A measuring tape measuring device includes a measuring box, a movable buckle, a flexible measuring tape, and a hook. The measuring box is movably mounted on a support rod in a vertical direction. The movable buckle is detachably connected to the measuring box. One end of the flexible measuring tape can be unwound and rewound within the measuring box, and the other end of the flexible measuring tape passes through the movable buckle and is connected to the hook. The hook can pull the flexible measuring tape around the human body being measured and then hook it onto the movable buckle. The measuring box is used to measure the unwound and rewound lengths of the flexible measuring tape.
[0010] The display device is mounted on the support rod and is communicatively connected to the weighing scale pan and the measuring box.
[0011] As an alternative to the aforementioned human body measuring device, the movable buckle has a through hole, through which the measuring tape passes. The movable buckle also has an annular groove surrounding the through hole, and the hook can be inserted into the annular groove.
[0012] As an alternative to the aforementioned human body measuring device, the movable buckle is a magnetic component, and the movable buckle is magnetically attracted to the measuring box.
[0013] As an alternative to the aforementioned human body measurement device, the measuring box is provided with a handle on the side near the human body to be measured.
[0014] As an alternative to the aforementioned human body measuring device, the measuring box is provided with damping pulleys on both sides along the horizontal direction, and the measuring box is movably mounted on the support rod via the damping pulleys on both sides.
[0015] As an optional solution for the above-mentioned human body measuring device, the support rod is provided with guide rails on both sides of the horizontal direction, and the guide rails extend along the vertical direction; each side of the measuring box is provided with at least two damping pulleys, and the at least two damping pulleys on the same side abut against the opposite sides of the guide rails respectively.
[0016] As an optional solution for the aforementioned human body measuring device, the display device is located at the upper end of the support rod and above the measuring box.
[0017] As an alternative to the aforementioned human body measuring device, a roller is provided at one end of the base near the support rod, and the lower surface of the roller is higher than the lower surface of the base.
[0018] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method of using an anthropometric device, wherein the method of using the anthropometric device as described above includes the following steps:
[0019] The weight of the person being tested is measured using a weighing scale, and the measured weight data is transmitted to a display device.
[0020] Adjust the movable buckle to the measurement position of the human body to be measured by moving the measuring box, remove the hook from the movable buckle and pull the soft measuring tape around the human body to be measured once, and then snap the hook back into the movable buckle. At this time, the measuring box automatically records the length of the soft measuring tape pulled out as L1.
[0021] Remove the movable buckle from the measuring box so that the measuring box automatically retracts the measuring tape, and the movable buckle automatically fits the human body to be measured. At this time, the measuring box automatically records the retracted length of the measuring tape as L2.
[0022] The measuring box automatically retracts the measuring tape, causing the human body to be measured to move along with the measuring tape. This causes the movable buckle to return to its original position in the measuring box. At this time, the measuring box automatically records the retracted length of the measuring tape as L3, and then automatically calculates L1-L2-L3 to obtain the human body circumference of the human body to be measured, and transmits the measured human body circumference data to the display device.
[0023] As an optional method of using the above-mentioned human body measuring device, the measuring box automatically retracts the tape measure at a speed of less than or equal to 0.5 m / s.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0025] This anthropometry device includes a base, a weighing pan, a support rod, a measuring tape device, and a display device. The weighing pan and support rod are both mounted on the base. The weighing pan is used to measure the weight of the person being measured. The measuring tape device includes a measuring box, a movable buckle, a flexible measuring tape, and a hook. The measuring box is vertically movable and mounted on the support rod. The movable buckle is detachably connected to the measuring box. One end of the flexible measuring tape can be rolled up and down inside the measuring box, and the other end passes through the movable buckle and is connected to the hook. The position of the flexible measuring tape can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the measuring box, ensuring that the measuring tape is at the same height as the person being measured. Meanwhile, the hook allows the measuring tape to be pulled around the body and hooked onto the movable buckle. The measuring box measures the unwinding and rewinding lengths of the measuring tape, allowing it to initially fit against part of the body's measurement area. After removing the movable buckle, it retracts towards the body, ensuring the tape fits the entire measurement area. The measuring box then records the unwinding and rewinding lengths to automatically calculate the body circumference. The display device, mounted on the support rod and connected to the scale pan and measuring box, directly displays the body weight and circumference data. This anthropometric device, through the combined use of the movable buckle and hook, allows the measuring tape to be retracted and closely fitted to the body, offering convenient use and high measurement accuracy.
[0026] The method of using the human body measuring device of the present invention uses the human body measuring device as described above. The method of using the human body measuring device is simple and convenient to operate. When using the weighing scale to measure weight, the human body circumference can be measured simultaneously through the measuring tape device. In addition, after the hook is attached to the movable buckle, the user does not need to manually hold the soft tape continuously, and the measuring box can automatically retract the soft tape, so that the soft tape is in close contact with the human body to be measured, thereby achieving high-precision measurement.

[0039] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0040] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0041] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a human body measuring device for measuring the human body to be measured.
[0042] The anthropometry device includes a base 1, a weighing pan 2, a support rod 3, a measuring tape 4, and a display device 5. The weighing pan 2 and support rod 3 are both mounted on the base 1. The weighing pan 2 is used to measure the weight of the person being measured. The measuring tape 4 includes a measuring box 41, a movable buckle 42, a flexible measuring tape 43, and a hook 44. The measuring box 41 is vertically movable on the support rod 3. The movable buckle 42 is detachably connected to the measuring box 41. One end of the flexible measuring tape 43 can be rolled up and down inside the measuring box 41, and the other end passes through the movable buckle 42 and is connected to the hook 44. The position of the flexible measuring tape 43 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the measuring box 41, so that the flexible measuring tape 43 is at the same height as the person being measured. Optionally, a handle 411 is provided on the side of the measuring box 41 closest to the person being measured, allowing the user to adjust the height of the measuring box 41 by holding the handle 411.
[0043] Meanwhile, the hook 44 can pull the measuring tape 43 around the human body to be measured and hook it onto the movable buckle 42. The measuring box 41 is used to measure the unwinding and rewinding lengths of the measuring tape 43. Thus, the measuring tape 43 can first fit against part of the measurement position of the human body, and then after the movable buckle 42 is removed, it can be retracted towards the human body, realizing that the measuring tape 43 fits against the entire measurement position of the human body. At this time, the unwinding and rewinding lengths of the measuring tape 43 are measured and recorded by the measuring box 41 to automatically calculate the human body circumference of the human body. The display device 5 is located on the support rod 3 and is connected to the weighing scale pan 2 and the measuring box 41. Thus, the display device 5 can directly display the weight data and human body circumference data of the human body to be measured. Optionally, the display device 5 is located at the upper end of the support rod 3 and above the measuring box 41, so that the user can directly observe the display device 5 when measuring weight and human body circumference, and it is convenient for the user to operate. Alternatively, the display device 5 is connected to the weighing pan 2 and the measuring box 41 via wire or wireless connection.
[0044] This anthropometry device, through the cooperation of the movable buckle 42 and hook 44, allows the flexible measuring tape 43 to be tightened and closely adhered to the human body being measured. It is convenient to use and provides high measurement accuracy. Optionally, the body circumference to be measured can be the waist circumference. Of course, the body circumference to be measured can also be other locations; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.
[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the movable buckle 42 has a through hole 421 through which the flexible measuring tape 43 passes. The movable buckle 42 also has an annular groove 422 surrounding the through hole 421, into which a hook 44 can be inserted. This allows for quick installation and removal of the hook 44 and the movable buckle 42, facilitating user operation. Optionally, the hook 44 has a C-shaped structure, allowing it to fit snugly into the annular groove 422, improving connection stability. The movable buckle 42 is magnetic, magnetically attracting the measuring box 41. This simplifies installation and removal of the movable buckle 42 and the measuring box 41, requiring no complex operations and making it easy to use.
[0046] Furthermore, damping pulleys 412 are provided on both opposite sides of the measuring box 41 along the horizontal direction. The measuring box 41 is movably mounted on the support rod 3 via the damping pulleys 412 on both sides. Thus, when the measuring box 41 is subjected to external force, it can move stably on the support rod 3 via the damping pulleys 412 on both sides, and when the external force is removed, the measuring box 41 can be stably fixed on the support rod 3, facilitating subsequent measurement of human body circumference. Guide rails 31 are provided on both opposite sides of the support rod 3 along the horizontal direction. The guide rails 31 extend vertically. At least two damping pulleys 412 are provided on each side of the measuring box 41. At least two damping pulleys 412 on the same side abut against opposite sides of the guide rails 31, so that the measuring box 41 can only move vertically under the guidance of the guide rails 31, preventing horizontal movement of the measuring box 41 from affecting the measurement of human body circumference. Optionally, the support rod 3 is hollow and has an inner cavity, in which the guide rail 31 and the damping pulley 412 are both located.
[0047] Furthermore, a roller 11 is provided at one end of the base 1 near the support rod 3. The lower surface of the roller 11 is higher than the lower surface of the base 1. Thus, when no external force is applied, the base 1 is in contact with the ground, and weight and body circumference measurements can be performed normally. When an external force is applied to make the end of the base 1 away from the roller 11 tilt up, the roller 11 can contact the ground, which facilitates the handling of the human body measurement equipment.
[0048] This embodiment also provides a method for using an anthropometry device, using the anthropometry device as described above, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the method of using the anthropometry device includes the following steps:
[0049] The weight of the person being tested is measured by the weighing scale 2, and the measured weight data is transmitted to the display device 5.
[0050] Adjust the movable buckle 42 to the measurement position of the human body to be measured by moving the measuring box 41, remove the hook 44 from the movable buckle 42 and pull the soft tape 43 around the human body to be measured once, and then snap the hook 44 into the movable buckle 42. At this time, the measuring box 41 automatically records the length of the soft tape 43 pulled out as L1.
[0051] Remove the movable buckle 42 from the measuring box 41 so that the measuring box 41 automatically retracts the soft measuring tape 43, and the movable buckle 42 automatically fits the human body to be measured. At this time, the measuring box 41 automatically records the retracted length of the soft measuring tape 43 as L2.
[0052] The measuring box 41 automatically retracts the soft measuring tape 43 so that the human body to be measured moves with the soft measuring tape 43, and the movable buckle 42 returns to the original position of the measuring box 41. At this time, the measuring box 41 automatically records the retracted length of the soft measuring tape 43 as L3, and then automatically calculates L1-L2-L3 to obtain the human body circumference of the human body to be measured, and transmits the measured human body circumference data to the display device 5.
[0053] The human body measuring device is simple and convenient to use. When using the weighing scale 2 to measure weight, the measuring tape 4 can simultaneously measure the body circumference. In addition, after the hook 44 is attached to the movable buckle 42, the user does not need to manually hold the soft tape 43 continuously, and the measuring box 41 can automatically retract the soft tape 43, so that the soft tape 43 is in close contact with the body to be measured, thereby achieving high-precision measurement.
[0054] Furthermore, the measuring box 41 automatically retracts the flexible ruler 43 at a speed of less than or equal to 0.5 m / s, thereby preventing the flexible ruler 43 from retracting too quickly and injuring the user, thus improving the safety of the human body measuring device during use.
[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
