Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of human body measurement technology, and to a human body measuring instrument, specifically a height measuring instrument that is connected to an external body composition analysis instrument. Background Technology
[0002] Human body composition analyzers utilize bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology, employing 8-12 contact electrodes and multi-frequency methods to perform segmental analysis of the human body. Routinely used in hospital clinical nutrition departments, body composition analysis enables the rational reduction and control of weight, thereby maintaining optimal physical performance. It distinguishes between muscular overweight and obesity, identifies the best methods for weight control, guides the ratio of energy intake to dietary nutrients, guides nutritional recovery measures, promotes maximum muscle synthesis, evaluates the effectiveness of physical therapy and rehabilitation, guides scientific training, scientific rehabilitation, and scientific nutrition, understands the impact of environmental, nutritional, and other factors on body composition, and identifies differences in body composition among different population groups. This serves as an important preventative measure to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain cancers, and other chronic diseases.
[0003] However, accurate height data from patients is crucial before performing body composition analysis. Traditionally, this has relied on patient self-reporting or the use of a separate height measuring instrument, but these methods have several drawbacks. First, self-reported height data often contains errors, especially for adolescents, older patients, or those with mobility issues, who may not be entirely certain of their height. Second, while using a separate height measuring instrument is more accurate, it increases the number of steps and time required, causing inconvenience for both patients and healthcare staff. Therefore, we have developed an improved anthropometry device. Utility Model Content

[0026] It should be understood that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-3A human body measuring instrument includes a human body composition analyzer 1. The human body composition analyzer 1 has a column 101. A first support plate 2 is provided on the front of the column 101. A scale 201 is provided on the front of the first support plate 2. The scale 201 is used to measure the user's height.
[0029] The Body Composition Analyzer 1 is an existing device, an advanced health monitoring instrument that uses specific technologies to accurately measure and analyze various components of the human body. The functions and benefits of the Body Composition Analyzer include measuring body fat percentage, assessing muscle mass, analyzing water content, providing basal metabolic rate, and assessing health risks. The Body Composition Analyzer 1 has the following functions:
[0030] Measuring body fat percentage: Accurately measuring the body's fat content helps people understand their degree of obesity and provides an important basis for weight loss and health management;
[0031] Assessing muscle mass: Determining the quality and distribution of muscle in the human body can help fitness enthusiasts and rehabilitation patients assess the effectiveness of exercise and muscle recovery.
[0032] Analyzing water content: Understanding the body's water balance, including the ratio of intracellular fluid to extracellular fluid, is important for assessing the body's metabolic level and health status.
[0033] Provides Basal Metabolic Rate: By measuring the energy expenditure of the human body at rest, it provides a reference for developing reasonable diet and exercise plans, helping people control their weight and maintain health;
[0034] Assessing health risks: By comprehensively analyzing body composition data, the risk of developing certain diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, can be assessed, providing a basis for early prevention and intervention.
[0035] However, traditional body composition analyzers do not have accurate height data, making it difficult to reflect the patient's true body composition data and unable to read the patient's height data in real time. The design of this invention can solve this problem, making the analysis results more accurate.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] The human body measuring instrument provided in Embodiment 1 is further optimized. Specifically, the first support plate 2 is fixedly installed on the front of the column 101. The fixed arrangement of the first support plate 2 and the column 101 can improve the overall stability.

[0041] A second hand-tightening bolt 209 is provided between the connecting plate 207 and the first support plate 2. A first hand-tightening screw 206 is connected between the connecting plate 207 and the two first connecting seats 205. Nuts are provided on the side of the first support plate 2 and one of the first connecting seats 205. The two nuts are respectively connected to the first hand-tightening screw 206 and the second hand-tightening bolt 209. The cooperation between the second hand-tightening bolt 209, the connecting plate 207, the first hand-tightening screw 206, the first connecting seat 205 and the first connecting groove 208 can realize the rotational connection between the first support plate 2 and the first connecting seat 205. When the second hand-tightening bolt 209 and the first hand-tightening screw 206 are tightened, the angle between the first support plate 2 and the column 101 can be fixed. When the second hand-tightening bolt 209 is loosened, the first support plate 2 can be rotated for folding.
[0042] Example 4
[0043] The anthropometric device provided in Embodiment 2 or 3 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the top of the first support plate 2 is connected to the second support plate 202, and the bottom of the second support plate 202 is connected to the ultrasonic ranging module 203.
