Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of measurement, and particularly relates to a subcutaneous fat thickness measuring ruler. Background Art

[0002] Obesity not only affects appearance, but may also trigger various chronic diseases, such as fatty liver, hypertension, dyslipidemia, etc., seriously affecting people's physical health and quality of life. The subcutaneous fat thickness directly reflects the amount of body fat and the degree of obesity, and a subcutaneous fat thickness measuring ruler can help people timely understand their own obesity status.

[0003] A subcutaneous fat thickness measuring ruler usually includes two clamping rods. By applying pressure on the clamping rods, the clamping heads clamp the sebum on the body to measure the fat thickness. Due to different operation methods of the operator, there are differences in the force application and tightness degree at the clamping position, which will cause inaccurate measurement results and large errors. Moreover, if the clamping head clamps too tightly, it is easy to cause pain to the user. Especially for the sebum that has not fully recovered after liposuction or fat removal surgery, it may also cause pinching injuries, and the user experience is poor. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model provides a subcutaneous fat measuring ruler, which solves the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A subcutaneous fat measuring ruler includes a V-shaped main body 1. The main body 1 includes left and right side rods. A measuring arc 2 with scales is connected to the left side rod, and a fixed sleeve block 3 is arranged on the right side rod. The right end of the measuring arc 2 is sleeved in the fixed sleeve block 3. A pair of clamping heads 4 are arranged at the tops of the left and right side rods. At least one of the clamping heads 4 is equipped with a pressure sensor 5. An alarm 6 is arranged inside the lower part of the main body 1. The pressure sensor 5 is electrically connected to the alarm 6. The alarm 6 includes: a microprocessor 7 electrically connected to the pressure sensor 5, a memory 8 storing a preset pressure critical value, and an alarm module 9 receiving a control signal from the microprocessor 7 and sending out an alarm message;

[0007] When the pair of clamping heads 4 clamp the skin, the pressure sensor 5 measures the pressure value applied by the pair of clamping heads 4 to the skin and transmits the pressure value to the microprocessor 7. The microprocessor 7 compares the pressure value with the preset pressure critical value stored in the memory 8. When the pressure value is greater than the preset pressure critical value, a control signal is sent to the alarm module 9, and the alarm module 9 sends out an alarm message.

[0008] An installation seat 10 is arranged at the lower part of the side rod of the main body 1, and the installation seat 10 houses a battery holder and the alarm 6.

[0009] The front cover of the mounting base 10 is provided with a battery cover 11, and the battery can be loaded and unloaded by opening the battery cover.

[0010] The mounting base 10 is also optionally provided with a power switch.

[0011] The front cover of the mounting base 10 is provided with a mounting cavity 12 for accommodating the alarm module 9.

[0012] The alarm module 9 can be a buzzer or an LED light, and when alarming, it emits sound or light respectively to remind the user that the pressure is too high.

[0013] In one embodiment, the mounting base 10 and the pressure sensor 5 are on the same side of the side rod of the main body 1. For example, both are on the left side rod of the main body 1, or both are on the right side rod of the main body 1.

[0014] In another embodiment, the mounting base 10 is located at the bottom of the main body 1. That is, at the connection of the left and right side rods.

[0015] In one embodiment, serrated arc grooves 13 are provided on the outer sides of the left and right side rods of the main body 1, so that there will be no slipping and no injury to the human body when holding for measurement.

[0016] In another embodiment, a pressing groove 14 is provided on one side rod of the main body 1, and a pressing rod 15 is integrally extended and connected from the bottom end of this side rod. The other end of the pressing rod 15 is provided with a pressing block 16 whose size matches the pressing groove, and a serrated arc groove 13 is provided on the outer side of the pressing block 16. When pressing the left pressing rod 15 and the right side rod from the left and right sides of the main body 1, the pressing block 16 is engaged with the pressing groove 14, and at the same time, a pair of clamping heads 4 approach to clamp the object to be measured.

[0017] When pressing the left and right side rods of the main body 1 from the left and right sides of the main body 1, the measuring arc 2 with scales slides in the fixed sleeve block 3, and a pair of clamping heads 4 approach each other until they clamp the object to be measured. The thickness of the object to be measured can be determined by reading the scale on the measuring arc 2 pointed to by the fixed sleeve block 3.

[0018] When the pair of clamping heads 4 clamp the object to be measured, the pressure sensor 5 measures the pressure value exerted by the clamping heads 4 on the skin, and transmits the pressure value to the microprocessor 7. The microprocessor 7 compares the pressure value with the preset pressure critical value stored in the memory 8. When the pressure value is greater than the preset pressure critical value, a control signal is sent to the alarm module 9, and the alarm module 9 issues an alarm message, such as a "beep" sound or a flashing light.

[0019] Due to the softness and elasticity of skin tissue, the measured values of conventional measuring rulers are affected by the operator and the magnitude of the force applied on both sides of the caliper, resulting in different degrees of skin clamping, causing measurement errors or pain and discomfort to the user. The settings of the pressure sensor and the alarm can solve the above problems and effectively improve the measurement accuracy and the comfort of the user experience. The utility model has the advantages of convenient and safe use, accurate measurement, and high comfort level. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] When the pair of chucks 4 hold the skin, the pressure sensor 5 measures the pressure value exerted by the pair of chucks 4 on the skin, and transmits the pressure value to the microprocessor 7. The microprocessor 7 compares the pressure value with the preset pressure threshold value stored in the memory 8. When the pressure value is greater than the preset pressure threshold value, it indicates that the clamping force is too large. The microprocessor 7 sends a control signal to the alarm module 9, and the alarm module 9 emits warning information such as sound or light to remind the user.
