[0031] The multi-dimensional human body measurement device according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is understood that the following description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can conceive of other ways to implement the present invention based on the preferred embodiments; such other ways also fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0032] First, it should be noted that the directional and positional terms in this utility model should be understood as relative directions and positions, rather than absolute directions and positions. In this utility model, directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back" are based on a measuring device placed on a horizontal surface such as the ground, with the front of the measuring device facing the measurer; that is, the person being measured sitting on the measuring device is facing the measurer.

[0033] The following text will mainly refer to Figures 1-3 A multi-dimensional anthropometry device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. This multi-dimensional anthropometry device can be used for human data acquisition tasks, and is particularly suitable for data measurement and acquisition under various motion states of aircraft passengers.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the multidimensional anthropometry device 100 (hereinafter referred to as "measuring device" 100) includes a square box 110, a foot measuring device 120, a top measuring device 130, a seat depth measuring device 140, and a width measuring device 150. The square box 110 is the load-bearing carrier of the measuring device 100. The square box 110 is generally constructed as a cube and has a horizontally arranged top surface 111 and a front surface 112 arranged perpendicular to the top surface 111. The top surface 111 is for the person being measured to sit on, and when the person being measured sits on the top surface 111, the front surface 112 faces the legs of the person being measured.

[0035] A foot measuring device 120 is disposed on the front surface 112 of a square housing 110, and includes a foot support plate 121 and a first scale 122. The foot support plate 121 is connected to the front surface 112 and allows the foot of the person being measured to rest on it. The foot support plate 121 is movable vertically up and down on the front surface 112. It is understood that the leg lengths of the people being measured vary, and by making the foot support plate 121 capable of sliding vertically up and down, it can be adapted to different people being measured. The first scale 122 is arranged vertically on the front surface 112 and extends from the top surface 111 to the bottom surface. Preferably, the first scale 122 can be disposed on one side of the front surface 112 (e.g., the left side). When the person being measured sits on the top surface 111 of the square box 110 and places their feet on the foot support plate 121, the position of the foot support plate 121 on the first scale 122 can be observed, and the scale can be read to obtain relevant data, such as the length from the person's knee to the sole of their foot.

[0036] Preferably, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the measuring device 100 also includes a sliding fixing device 160, which can lock or release the sliding movement of the foot support plate 121 on the front surface 112. The sliding fixing device 160 includes a slide rail 161 and a sliding member capable of sliding or fixing (stopping) within the slide rail 161. The slide rail 161 is arranged parallel to the first scale 122 on the left and right sides of the front surface 112, that is, the slide rail 161 is also arranged vertically on the front surface 112. The left and right sides of the foot support plate 121 are respectively disposed in the slide rail 161 via sliding members.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the slide rail 161 has a generally square cross-sectional shape and has a top wall 164 and a bottom wall 165 opposite to the top wall 164. It should be noted that the "top wall" mentioned here refers to the wall of the slide rail 161 away from the front surface 112 of the square housing 110, and the "bottom wall" refers to the wall of the slide rail 161 adjacent to or attached to the front surface 112 of the square housing 110. The top wall 164 has an opening 162, and the slide rail 161 has a hollow receiving space 163, which communicates with the opening 162. A portion of the sliding member is received in the receiving space 163.

[0038] Further, the slider includes an operating part and a sliding portion connected to the operating part, the sliding portion extending from the operating part toward the bottom wall 165 of the slide rail 161. The sliding portion has a sliding position and a fixed position, wherein when the sliding portion is in the sliding position, it can slide in the slide rail 161, and when the sliding portion is in the fixed position, it can be fixed in the slide rail 161 and cannot move. In a preferred embodiment, the sliding portion is farther from the bottom wall 165 of the slide rail 161 when it is in the sliding position than when it is in the fixed position. The operating part is configured to be operable and to change the position of the sliding portion when operated; when the operating part is operated downward, the sliding portion moves toward the bottom wall 165 and abuts against the bottom wall 165; when the operating part is operated upward, the sliding portion moves away from the bottom wall 165.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the operating part is configured as a threaded member 166 extending into the receiving space 163. The sliding part includes a support member 167 and an elastic member 168 connected to the support member 167. The support member 167 is fixedly connected to the threaded member 166 and is configured as a hemispherical structure and disposed in the receiving space 163. Preferably, the diameter of the support member 167 is larger than the maximum width of the opening 162 to prevent it from disengaging from the receiving space 163. The elastic member 168 is connected to the support member 167. When the threaded member 166 is screwed toward the bottom wall 165, the elastic member 168 is compressed towards the bottom wall 165, increasing the compression and pressing it firmly against the bottom wall 165. At this time, a large frictional force is generated between the elastic member 168 and the bottom wall 165, preventing the foot measuring device 120 connected to the elastic member 168 from sliding on the slide rail 161. Furthermore, when the threaded member 166 is screwed away from the bottom wall 165, the elastic member 168 can reduce the compression, allowing it to make slight contact with the bottom wall 165 or maintain a small gap. In a preferred embodiment, the elastic member 168 is constructed as an arc-shaped spring, with one end connected to the support member 167.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3 The sliding member also includes a bent plate 169, which has a generally L-shaped cross-section and includes a first pressure plate 169a and a second pressure plate 169b perpendicularly connected to each other. The first pressure plate 169a is disposed above and covers the opening 162, and a threaded member 166 extends through the first pressure plate 169a into the receiving space 163. The second pressure plate 169b is fixedly connected to the foot support plate 121, in such a way that the foot support plate 121 can be connected to the operating part and the sliding part connected to the operating part via the bent plate 169.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the top measuring device 130 includes a rod 131 and a lever 132 disposed on the rod 131. A second scale 131a is formed on the rod 131 and arranged along its height direction. The second scale 131a can be constructed as a graduated metal ruler. The rod 131 is fixed to the rear of the square box 110 and extends vertically upward. The lever 132 is sleeved on the rod 131 and can slide up and down along the rod 131.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the paddle 132 is connected to the rod 131 via a sliding fixing device, thereby enabling the sliding fixing device to lock or release the sliding movement of the paddle 132 on the rod 131. Preferably, the sliding fixing device can have the same structure as the sliding fixing device 160 described above, i.e., including a slide rail and a sliding member that can be slidably fixed in the slide rail. The slide rail can be arranged on the rod 131 along the extension direction of the rod 131, and the sliding member can be connected to the paddle 132, so that the paddle 132 can slide together with the sliding member in the slide rail. When actually measuring the relevant dimensions of the human head, the paddle 132 can be directly and lightly pressed on the head of the person being measured, thereby easily obtaining the specific values ​​related to the head or upper body of the person being measured.

[0043] A seat depth measuring device 140 is disposed on the top surface 111 and includes a back support plate 141 and a third scale 142 arranged along the front-rear direction on the top surface 111. The third scale 142 extends from the rear end to the front end of the top surface 111. Preferably, the third scale 142 can be disposed on one side of the top surface 111 (e.g., the left side). The back support plate 141 extends from the left side to the right side of the top surface 111 and is slidable along the front-rear direction on the top surface 111.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the back support plate 141 is connected to the top surface 111 via a sliding fixing device, thereby enabling the sliding fixing device to lock or release the sliding movement of the back support plate 141 on the top surface 111. Preferably, the sliding fixing device can have the same structure as the sliding fixing device 160 described above, i.e., including a slide rail and a sliding member that can slide or be fixed in the slide rail. The slide rail can be arranged parallel to the third scale 142 on the left and right sides of the top surface 111, and the sliding member can be connected to both sides of the back support plate 141, so that the back support plate 141 can slide together with the sliding member in the slide rail. In actual testing, the tester can push the back support plate 141 as needed and check the scale on the third scale 142 on the side of the back support plate 141 to directly read and record the correct value, such as the seat depth.

[0045] The width measuring device 150 is configured as a fourth scale 151 arranged on the top surface 111, which is positioned at the front end of the square box 110 along the left-right direction. When the person being measured sits on the square box 110, the measuring person can easily read the scale corresponding to the person's hip width directly on the fourth scale 151 to obtain relevant data about the person's hip width.

[0046] In the actual measurement process, after the subject adjusts their sitting posture, they can make corresponding movements according to the experimental requirements. The measurer can fix the corresponding measurement values ​​by operating the threaded parts of the sliding fixing devices corresponding to the foot measuring device 120, top measuring device 130, and seat depth measuring device 140 respectively. This allows the foot measuring device 120, top measuring device 130, seat depth measuring device 140, and width measuring device 150 to simultaneously measure multiple sets of dimensional data such as the length from the knee to the sole of the foot, shoulder height, head height, seat depth, and hip width during a single human movement, thereby providing the experimenter with accurate and comprehensive experimental data.

[0047] The measuring device 100 can be made of lightweight materials to ensure that the entire device is easy to move and has a small size, so that it can be placed directly in the cabin for experiments, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0048] The above description of various embodiments of this utility model is provided for illustrative purposes to a person skilled in the art. It is not intended to exclude or limit the utility model to a single disclosed embodiment. As taught above, those skilled in the art will understand that various alternatives and variations of this utility model are possible. For example, the ruler mentioned above can be a scale line printed on a square box, or it can be a ruler separate from the square box and fixed to it. Therefore, although some alternative embodiments have been specifically described, those skilled in the art will understand or relatively easily develop other embodiments.
