Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic scale technology, and more particularly to a multifunctional electronic scale component. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electronic scales on the market are generally divided into three types: baby scales, body weight scales, and body fat scales. It's generally difficult to adapt their weighing functions to meet the needs of various groups. Baby scales are typically only for infants and become unsuitable as they grow older; additionally, pregnant women and other special groups generally avoid using body fat scales due to health concerns and medical advice, thus failing to meet the needs of all groups. Body weight scales generally only measure weight and not body fat, failing to meet the needs of those who want to monitor their body fat percentage. Therefore, how to enable electronic scales to freely switch between baby scale, body weight scale, and body fat scale functions has been a problem explored by researchers in this field.

[0003] This invention is based on the above circumstances. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a multifunctional electronic scale component that can freely switch between three functions: baby scale, weight scale, and body fat scale.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A multifunctional electronic scale assembly includes a scale body, a detachable electrode, a tray, and a connector for connecting the tray to the scale body. The scale body contains a conductive elastomer, a weight measuring module for measuring weight, and a PBC board electrically connected to the conductive elastomer and the weight measuring module. The scale body has a mounting hole for inserting the detachable electrode to electrically connect it to the conductive elastomer. The inner wall of the mounting hole has a connection structure that allows the detachable electrode or connector to be detachably connected to the scale body.

[0007] As described above, in a multifunctional electronic scale assembly, the detachable electrode includes a first connecting post and a first end cap disposed at one end of the first connecting post for assisting in turning the first connecting post. A first protrusion is provided on the side wall of the first connecting post. The connecting structure includes a first slot disposed on the inner side wall of the mounting hole for inserting the first protrusion, thereby engaging the detachable electrode on the inner side wall of the mounting hole. The slot is arranged circumferentially along the mounting hole. A guide groove is also provided on the inner side wall of the mounting hole for the first protrusion to pass through and reach the opening of the first slot. The guide groove is arranged axially along the mounting hole.

[0008] In the multifunctional electronic scale assembly described above, the conductive elastomer is installed in the mounting hole, and one end of the conductive elastomer can abut against a detachable electrode. Both the detachable electrode and the conductive elastomer are made of conductive material.

[0009] As described above, a multifunctional electronic scale assembly includes a connector comprising a second connecting post and a second end cap disposed at one end of the second connecting post for assisting in turning the second connecting post. The connecting structure also includes a second slot on the inner side wall of the mounting hole. The side wall of the second connecting post is provided with a second protrusion that can pass through a guide groove and be inserted into the first slot or the second slot, thereby allowing the connector to be engaged with the scale body. The scale body is provided with a first countersunk hole at the position corresponding to the mounting hole for the second end cap to be inserted.

[0010] In the multifunctional electronic scale assembly described above, the connector is made of insulating material.

[0011] As described above, a multifunctional electronic scale assembly has a first slot on the first end cap and the second end cap. The multifunctional electronic scale assembly also includes an unlocking plug that can be inserted into the first slot to facilitate the turning of the detachable electrodes and connectors. The scale body is also provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the unlocking plug.

[0012] As described above, in a multifunctional electronic scale assembly, the tray has protective wings on both sides to prevent the baby from slipping off.

[0013] As described above, in a multifunctional electronic scale assembly, the tray has a through hole at the position corresponding to the mounting hole for the second connecting post to pass through, a second countersunk hole at the position corresponding to the through hole for the second end cap to be inserted, and a boss on the back of the tray for positioning with the scale body's sinking platform.

[0014] As described above, in a multifunctional electronic scale assembly, the tray includes a first tray and a second tray, and the first tray and the second tray are interchangeable.

[0015] As described above, in a multifunctional electronic scale assembly, one end of the first tray is provided with a first tongue and a second slot, and one end of the second tray is provided with a second tongue that can be inserted into the second slot and a third slot for the first tongue to be inserted into.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This invention includes a scale body, detachable electrodes, a tray, and a connector for attaching the tray to the scale body. Both the detachable electrodes and the tray can be detachably attached to the scale body. When the baby scale function is needed, the tray is connected to the scale body via the connector to enable the baby scale function. When the baby grows up and no longer needs the baby scale function, the tray can be removed, and the detachable electrodes can be connected to the mounting holes. The detachable electrodes contact a conductive elastomer, which is electrically connected to the PCB board, thus connecting the detachable electrodes to the PCB board. When the user steps barefoot on the detachable electrodes, a closed circuit is formed, allowing the measurement of the user's body fat. Simultaneously, the user's weight can also be measured via the weight measurement module. This allows for switching between baby scale, weight scale, and body fat scale functions to meet different usage needs.

[0018] 2. The connector is made of insulating material. After removing the tray, the connector can be directly connected to the scale body, so that the electronic scale only has the weighing function and loses the body fat measurement function, thus preventing the current from affecting the health of pregnant women and other special groups when measuring body fat.

[0019] 3. The tray has protective wings on both sides to prevent the baby from rolling off the electronic scale.

[0020] 4. The tray has a second countersunk hole at the position corresponding to the through hole, so that the connector will not hit the baby and improve the comfort during use. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 10 The illustrated multifunctional electronic scale assembly includes a scale body 1, a detachable electrode 2, a tray, and a connector 6 for connecting the tray to the scale body 1. The scale body 1 contains a conductive elastomer 3, a weight measurement module 4 for measuring weight, and a PCB board 5 electrically connected to the conductive elastomer 3 and the weight measurement module 4. The scale body 1 has mounting holes 11 for inserting the detachable electrode 2, thereby electrically connecting the detachable electrode 2 to the conductive elastomer 3. The inner wall of the mounting holes 11 has a connection structure that allows the detachable electrode 2 or the connector 6 to be detachably connected to the scale body 1. The scale body 1 also has a display screen 10 for displaying body fat percentage and weight, and the display screen 10 is electrically connected to the PCB board. The PCB board 5 has the functions of measuring body fat and weighing.

[0034] When the baby scale function is needed, the tray is connected to the scale body 1 via connector 6 to enable the baby scale function. When the baby grows up and no longer needs the baby scale function, the tray can be removed, and the detachable electrode 2 can be connected to the mounting hole 11, thereby connecting the detachable electrode 2 to the conductive elastomer 3. The user steps barefoot on the detachable electrode 2 to form a closed circuit, thus measuring the user's body fat. Of course, the user's weight can also be measured through the weight measurement module 4 at the same time. Thus, it is possible to switch between the three functions of baby scale, weight scale, and body fat scale to meet different usage needs. The conductive elastomer 3 can be a metal spring.

[0035] In one embodiment, the weight measurement module 4 can be a weighing sensor; the number of body fat measurement electrodes 3 is 4, that is, the number of mounting holes 11, detachable electrodes 2, and connectors 6 are all 4.

[0036] The detachable electrode 2 includes a first connecting post 21 and a first end cap 22 provided on one end of the first connecting post 21 for assisting in turning the first connecting post 21. A first protrusion 23 is provided on the side wall of the first connecting post 21. The connection structure includes a first slot 111 provided on the inner side wall of the mounting hole 11 for the first protrusion 23 to be inserted, thereby allowing the detachable electrode 2 to be snapped into the inner side wall of the mounting hole 11. The first slot 111 is arranged circumferentially along the mounting hole 111. A guide groove 112 is also provided on the inner side wall of the mounting hole 11 for the first locking block to pass through and reach the opening of the first slot 111. The guide groove 112 is arranged axially along the mounting hole 111.

[0037] After inserting the detachable electrode 2 into the mounting hole 11, rotating the detachable electrode 2 causes the first protrusion 23 to insert into the first slot 111, thereby securing the detachable electrode 2 onto the scale body 1. When the detachable electrode 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 11, its upper surface is flush with or higher than the upper surface of the scale body 1. The first connecting post 21, the first end cap 22, and the first protrusion 23 are integrally formed.

[0038] The conductive elastomer 3 is installed in the mounting hole 11. The upper end of the conductive elastomer 3 can abut against the detachable electrode 2. Both the detachable electrode 2 and the conductive elastomer 3 are made of conductive material. When the connector 6 or the detachable electrode 2 is disassembled, the elasticity can be lifted to facilitate disassembly.

[0039] The connector 6 includes a second connecting post 61 and a second end cap 62 located at one end of the second connecting post 61 for assisting in rotating the second connecting post 61. The connection structure also includes a second slot 115 on the inner side wall of the mounting hole 11, which communicates with the guide groove 112. The side wall of the second connecting post 61 has a second protrusion 63 that can pass through the guide groove 112 and be inserted into the first slot 111 or the second slot 115, thereby engaging the connector 6 onto the scale body 1. The connector 6 is made of insulating material. The scale body 1 has a first countersunk hole 114 at the position corresponding to the mounting hole 11, into which the second end cap 62 is inserted. By inserting the connector 6 into the mounting hole 11 and rotating the connector 6, the second protrusion 63 is inserted into the first slot 111 or the second slot 115, thereby engaging the connector 6 onto the scale body 1. After removing the tray, the connector 6 can be directly connected to the scale body 1, thus enabling the electronic scale to function only for weighing and disabling its body fat measurement function. This prevents the current from affecting the health of pregnant women and other special groups during body fat measurement. Specifically, when connecting and fixing the tray, the second protrusion 63 is inserted into the second slot 115. When directly fixed to the scale body 1, the second protrusion 63 is inserted into the first slot 111. There is a certain height difference between the first slot 111 and the second slot 115, so that after the second protrusion 63 is inserted, the second end cap 62 is flush with the scale surface or the tray surface. The second connecting post 61, the second end cap 62, and the second protrusion 63 are integrally formed.

[0040] The first end cap 22 and the second end cap 62 are provided with a first slot 7. The multifunctional electronic scale assembly also includes an unlocking plug 71 that can be inserted into the first slot 7 to facilitate the turning of the detachable electrode 2 and the connector 6. The scale body 1 is also provided with a receiving groove 12 for accommodating the unlocking plug 71. The receiving groove 12 is located next to the battery cavity where the battery is placed, and is covered by a battery cover together with the receiving groove 12. When it is necessary to remove the unlocking plug 71, the battery cover can be opened and the unlocking plug 71 can be pulled out, which is convenient, quick and easy and the unlocking plug 71 is not easy to lose.

[0041] The tray has protective wings 81 on both sides to prevent the baby from slipping off. In one embodiment, the protective wings 81 are arc-shaped and integrally formed with the tray.

[0042] The tray has a through hole 82 at the position corresponding to the mounting hole 11 for the second connecting post 61 to pass through, and a second countersunk hole 821 at the position corresponding to the through hole 82 for the second end cap 62 to be inserted, so that the connecting piece 6 will not hit the baby and improve the comfort during use. The back of the tray has a boss 85 for positioning with the first countersunk hole 114 on the scale body 1.

[0043] The tray includes a first tray 80 and a second tray 801, both of which have through holes 82. One end of the first tray 80 has a first tongue 83 and a second slot 84, and one end of the second tray 801 has a second tongue 831 that can be inserted into the second slot 84 and a third slot 841 into which the first tongue 83 is inserted. During installation, the first tongue 83 is inserted into the third slot 841, and the second tongue 831 is inserted into the second slot 84, thus making the installation of the first tray 80 and the second tray 801 more stable. The first tray 80 and the second tray 801 are interchangeable.
