Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring equipment technology, specifically a rotating instrument for measuring waist and hip circumference. Background Technology

[0002] Weight management has become a crucial component of the current chronic disease prevention and control system, directly impacting the improvement of national health. In recent years, the problem of overweight and obesity among Chinese residents has become increasingly serious, and abnormal weight has become one of the main risk factors for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, and some cancers. To address this significant public health challenge, the National Health Commission, together with 16 other departments including the National Patriotic Health Campaign Committee and the Ministry of Education, jointly released the "Implementation Plan for the 'Weight Management Year' Campaign" in June 2024. The plan clearly proposes to establish a supportive environment for weight management and improve the public's awareness and skills in weight management over approximately three years. The plan particularly emphasizes promoting the use of "one scale, one ruler, and one calendar," encouraging families, medical and health institutions, schools, government agencies, and enterprises to equip themselves with weight scales.

[0003] The National Health Commission subsequently formulated the "Guidelines for Weight Management (2024 Edition)" to provide scientific and standardized technical guidance for weight management for medical and health personnel and the public. The health industry standard, Part 16: Adult Health Examination, incorporates measurements of height, weight, waist circumference, and hip circumference into the industry standard. The China Health Care Association also released the group standard "Guidelines for Nutritional Intervention in Weight Management" in July 2025.

[0004] Against this backdrop, scientific and accurate body measurement instruments have become a fundamental guarantee for the implementation of various weight management policies. Accurately measuring key indicators such as height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and BMI plays an irreplaceable role in the early identification of abnormal weight, assessment of health risks, and development of intervention strategies.

[0005] Currently, waist and hip circumference measurements are mostly taken manually. However, this manual measurement involves physical contact with the body, which can cause resistance in some individuals.

[0006] In view of this, there is an urgent need for a rotating instrument to measure waist and hip circumference. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model solves the problem using the following technical structure.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A rotating instrument for measuring waist and hip circumference includes: a waist circumference positioning module, a waist circumference measuring module, a measuring area module, and a column; The measurement area module includes a rotating platform, which is located on one side of the column, and the top of the rotating platform is the measurement area. The waist circumference positioning module includes a camera, which is used to capture images of the measurement area; The waist circumference measurement module includes a sensor and a linear module. The linear module is mounted on the column, and the sensor is mounted on the linear module. The sensor is used to measure the distance between the sensor and the subject at the measurement area.

[0009] The sensor is a millimeter-wave radar, and the detection angle of the millimeter-wave radar is less than 12 degrees.

[0010] The camera is a wide-angle camera with a field of view of not less than 90 degrees.

[0011] The wide-angle camera is mounted on the linear module or the column.

[0012] The linear module drives the sensor to move up and down.

[0013] The rotating platform rotates, causing the subject to rotate as well.

[0014] The above-described structure of this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects: In use, the subject stands on the rotating platform, and a camera takes a picture of the subject from one side. The image is analyzed by the computing module to find the height position of the waist or hips. Then, the linear module drives the sensor to move so that the sensor matches the height of the subject's waist or hips. Then, the rotating platform rotates, and at the same time, the sensor measures the distance between itself and the subject's waist or hips, measuring multiple points on the waist or hips. These multiple points form a point-like contour of the subject's waist or hip circumference, thereby obtaining the subject's waist or hip circumference. This allows for the measurement of the subject's human body data without any contact, which is very convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] It should be noted that the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification, claims and accompanying drawings of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such processes, methods, products or devices.

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 This application will be described in further detail.

[0020] refer to Figure 1 The rotating waist and hip circumference measuring instrument shown includes: a waist circumference positioning module, a waist circumference measuring module, a measuring area module, and a column 3; The measurement area module includes a rotating platform 5, which is mounted on one side of the column 3 via a connector 7. The top of the rotating platform 5 is the measurement area. The rotating platform 5 is marked with a sign 6 to facilitate the examinee's standing in a reasonable position. The rotation of the rotating platform 5 causes the examinee to rotate. The waist circumference positioning module includes a camera 1, which is used to capture images of the measurement area; The waist circumference measurement module includes a sensor 2 and a linear module 4. The linear module 4 is mounted on the column 3, and the sensor is mounted on the linear module 4. The linear module 4 drives the sensor 2 to move up and down (in this embodiment, the linear module 4 extends in the vertical direction). The sensor 2 is used to measure the distance between the sensor 2 and the subject at the measurement area.

[0021] Based on the above structure, during use, the subject stands on the rotating platform 5, and the camera 1 takes a picture of the subject from one side. The image is analyzed by the computing module to find the height position of the waist or hips. Then, the linear module 4 drives the sensor 2 to move so that the sensor 2 matches the height of the subject's waist or hips. Then, the rotating platform 5 rotates, and at the same time, the sensor 2 measures the distance between itself and the subject's waist or hips, measuring multiple points on the waist or hips. These multiple points form a point-like contour of the subject's waist or hip circumference, thereby obtaining the subject's waist or hip circumference. This allows for the measurement of the subject's human body data without any contact, which is very convenient.

[0022] Further optimization involves using a millimeter-wave radar as sensor 2. The detection angle of the millimeter-wave radar is less than 12 degrees. The millimeter-wave radar detects using a non-contact continuous wave signal, which is detected at least once per second. Utilizing the characteristic that millimeter-wave radar reflects signals of varying strengths to different materials, the millimeter-wave radar penetrates the observer's clothing (weak signal) to measure the distance between the millimeter-wave radar and the human body (strong signal), thereby obtaining information about points near the human body. The data processing module then connects these points to calculate the waist / hip circumference, enabling the measurement of the observer's waist circumference parameters from the observer's perimeter.

[0023] Further optimization involves using a wide-angle camera with a viewing angle of at least 90 degrees for camera 1. During use, the distance between the wide-angle camera and the front of the person should be at least 30 centimeters to better capture the subject's entire body, facilitating the location of the waist and hips. The data processing module then calculates the height of the waist or hips. The wide-angle camera is mounted on either the linear module 4 or the column 3.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a crossbeam 8 is provided on the top of the column 3, and a height measuring component 9 is provided on the crossbeam 8. The height measuring component 9 is suspended at the top of the measuring space. The height measuring component 9 can be a height measuring radar or an infrared height measuring instrument (including but not limited to these two measurement methods, an ultrasonic height measuring instrument can also be used, which uses ultrasonic positioning technology to emit sound waves upward. When the sound waves are reflected back by the top of the human head, the time difference can be sensed by the ultrasonic height measuring instrument, thereby calculating the height of the tester).

[0025] A further optimization is that a weighing scale is installed on the rotating platform 5. The weighing scale is located at the bottom of the measurement space. During measurement, the person being measured stands within the measurement range of the weighing scale to measure their weight.

[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It is understood that other improvements and variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present invention should be considered to be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
