Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of human body composition analysis technology, and specifically relates to an arm positioning component based on precise measurement by a human body composition analyzer. Background Technology

[0002] A body composition analyzer is an instrument that can measure the health index of body composition.

[0003] For patients who are bedridden for extended periods, regular body composition monitoring is crucial for assessing their health and adjusting treatment plans. However, due to their physical condition, they often find it difficult to easily access traditional, large-scale body composition analyzers. Existing technology includes mobile body composition analyzers that can be used directly at the bedside, eliminating the need for patient movement, significantly reducing the physical burden on patients, while ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of monitoring.

[0004] Currently, a Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN308022245S and authorization announcement date of May 5, 2023, discloses a human body composition analyzer.

[0005] This type of body composition analyzer can monitor body composition by connecting the limbs of a bedridden or sitting patient through four wires and electrodes. In existing technologies, in order to ensure the accuracy of the measurement, the patient's arm needs to be kept at an angle of 15-30 degrees throughout the measurement process. However, the patient's arm position can easily change due to physical reasons during the measurement process, which affects the accuracy of subsequent measurements. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an arm positioning component based on precise measurement by a body composition analyzer, which can position an outstretched arm.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an arm positioning component based on precise measurement by a human body composition analyzer, comprising a vest worn on the patient and two positioning plates for embedding in the patient's armpit position. The positioning plate includes a vertical plate attached to the side wall of the torso and an inclined plate whose upper end is connected to the vertical plate and attached to the lower side of the arm. Connecting straps are provided on both sides of the vest, and a limiting hook for hooking at the lower end of the connecting strap at the lower end of the vertical plate is provided.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that both the vertical plate and the inclined plate are provided with soft pads for fitting against the human body.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the vertical plate is provided with a limiting strap with one end connected to the vertical plate and the other end used to be tied to the bed rail.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the upper end of the inclined plate is hinged to the vertical plate, and the vertical plate is also provided with an internal threaded sleeve. The internal threaded sleeve is internally threaded to a threaded shaft, and one end of the threaded shaft is provided with a support ball for abutting against the inclined plate. A knob is provided at the end of the threaded shaft away from the support ball.

[0011] A further feature of this invention is that an indicator disc is provided around the knob, and a scale is provided on the surface of the vertical plate at the position of the indicator disc.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. When a patient is undergoing body composition analysis using a body composition analyzer while in bed, a vest is worn on the patient, and two positioning plates are embedded under the patient's armpits on both sides. The vertical plate is attached to the side wall of the torso, while the inclined plate is attached to the arm. At the same time, the vest is hooked to the lower end of the vertical plate using the limiting hook at the lower end of the connecting strap. This allows the positioning plates to be stably embedded under the patient's armpits. The positioning plates can be used to locate the angle of the patient's outstretched arm, which ultimately helps to improve the detection accuracy of the body composition analyzer.

[0014] 2. The soft pads on both the vertical and inclined plates enhance wearing comfort.

[0015] 3. The vertical plate is connected to one end of the limiting strap and the other end is tied to the bed rail, which further facilitates the stable embedding of the positioning plate in the patient's armpit position;

[0016] 4. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the tilt plate according to the patient's degree of obesity, turn the knob to rotate the threaded shaft. The threaded shaft will move the support ball, which will support the tilt plate. At this time, the angle of the tilt plate can be adjusted.

[0017] 5. When the knob is turned and its position changes, the angle of the tilt plate can be determined by the scale aligned with the indicator on the knob, which will help to make more precise adjustments to the tilt plate angle. Attached Figure Description
