Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of body fat scales, and in particular to a knob-type ITO body fat scale. Background Technology

[0002] Existing ITO-coated glass body fat scales require four ITO electrode connection springs to be installed and wired to the main control PCB board to achieve a complete measurement circuit due to technical limitations. In addition, for aesthetic purposes, decorative frames and covers are usually added to the glass openings to cover up the imperfections and beautify the surface. However, the cost of these decorative parts is relatively high. If the purpose is only for decoration, it is wasteful from a cost perspective.

[0003] Meanwhile, as the product becomes more widespread, the user base of body fat scales has gradually expanded from relatively young users to relatively older users. These users often find it difficult to use the app, and the demand for measurements that can be completed without the app is increasing. However, the BIA body fat measurement algorithm of the scale requires user information such as gender, age, and height to complete the measurement. Current technology involves adding touch buttons directly to the product to input user information. Such body fat scales not only have separate buttons, but the button operation is also relatively cumbersome. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a knob-type ITO body fat scale to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0032] The ITO glass panel 20 is mounted on the housing 10 and has a first through hole 21 thereon;

[0033] The motherboard 30 is installed inside the housing 10;

[0034] One end of the spring assembly 40 is connected to the upper surface of the ITO glass panel 20, and the other end passes through the first through hole 21 and is connected to the motherboard 30.

[0035] A decorative cover 50 is provided on the first through hole 21 and has a through groove 51 thereon;

[0036] The encoder 60 is installed inside the housing 10 and connected to the main board 30. The adjustment part 61 of the encoder 60 passes through the through groove 51.

[0037] The knob cover 70 is placed on the decorative cover 50 and connected to the adjustment part 61.

[0038] 1) In this utility model, the housing 10 is composed of a front shell and a bottom shell. The front shell is installed on the bottom shell by a snap fastener. During assembly, the ITO glass panel 20 is first installed on the upper surface of the front shell, and then one end of the spring piece assembly 40 is connected to the upper surface of the ITO glass panel 20, and the other end is inserted into the first through hole 21 and extends to the other side of the front shell. The other end of the spring piece assembly 40 is connected to the main board 30. It should be noted that the body fat measurement principle of the body fat scale is existing technology, which will not be described in detail here, nor should it be considered as a description of this utility model.

[0039] 2) The decorative cover 50 is then placed on the upper surface of the ITO glass panel 20. In some embodiments, the decorative cover 50 is provided with a plurality of second connecting posts 84, the second connecting posts 84 are provided with second threaded grooves 85, the housing 10 is provided with a plurality of third through holes 86, and also includes a plurality of second bolts that pass through the third through holes 86 and are threadedly connected to the second threaded grooves 85, and the decorative cover 50 is connected to the housing by the second bolts.

[0040] 3) The encoder 60 is then mounted on the bottom shell, with the adjusting part 61 of the encoder 60 arranged opposite to the through groove 51 on the decorative cover 50 or partially extending into the through groove 51.
