JPH06176A - Consumption calorimeter - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily check the elimination of obesity by indicating the consumption of bodily fats upon the lapse of a specified time of the exercise intensity automatically set in accordance with the data on the exercise intensity detected by the exercise intensity sensor of the calorimeter which calculates a consumption calory from elements, such as intensity and the time of the exercise and examinee's body weight. CONSTITUTION:The examinee previously inputs and sets his body weight by means of a set button 4 on the consumption calory meter. The exercise intensity sensor built in the calorimeter detects the specified or higher exercise meeting the body weight. A timer counts the use time when the calorimeter is used by mounting the calorimeter on the waist part. The consumption of the bodily fats is displayed by display digits 1 when a display mode is set at 'fat' by a display changeover button 5. The display digits are returned to a 0 by a reset button 6 after measurement. As a result, not merely the calory consumption but also the consumption of the bodily fats are displayed and the elimination of the obesity is easily checked.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Industrial application] The present invention relates to a calorie consumption meter that calculates and displays energy consumed by exercise and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional body fat burner is a respiration analyzer using an air bag, which calculates the burned amount of body fat by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide discharged and the amount of oxygen consumed. there were. In addition, the conventional calorie consumption meter calculates and displays the total calories used for exercise.

[0003]

Although the body fat burner using the conventional respiratory analyzer has good accuracy, the device is too large.
It is unsuitable for general people to use when they want to know the amount of body fat burned easily in their daily lives due to the high price. In addition, it is not clear whether the conventional calorie burner consumes the sugar in the body or the accumulated body fat. I couldn't know if the exercise was burning fat.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In a calorie consumption meter, the exercise intensity is automatically set based on the exercise intensity data detected by the exercise intensity sensor of the calorie consumption meter,
After a certain period of time according to the exercise intensity, the amount of body fat burned is calculated and displayed.

[0005]

[Operations and effects] The calorie consumption meter simply calculates the amount of body fat burned in various energy sources and displays it after a certain period of time has elapsed, depending on the intensity of exercise. In addition to knowing how many calories you have, you can also know the amount of body fat consumed and use the calorie burner for general purpose that measures the amount of exercise to eliminate obesity, which is a cause of adult diseases It becomes possible to do.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a display unit of a calorie consumption meter according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exercise intensity count graph for explaining the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an exercise intensity count graph of a conventional calorie consumption meter. 4 is a diagram showing a display unit of a conventional calorie consumption meter.

The conventional general calorie consumption meter merely calculates and displays the calories required for exercise. In order to eliminate obesity due to body fat, which is said to be the cause of adult diseases in recent years, exercise Therefore, it has become necessary to grasp body fat consumption in daily life as well. The present invention intends to provide a general-purpose calorie consumption meter that enables daily grasp of the consumed amount of body fat.

The conventional calorie consumption meter shown in FIG. 4 is shown in FIG.
As shown in, it only calculates and displays calories burned from all kinds of exercise in daily life, and it is unknown whether sugar in the body is consumed or fat is consumed, For those who want to lose fat, it has not met that purpose.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the weight value of the person to be measured is input and set in the calorie consumption meter of the present invention, exercise intensity data from an exercise intensity sensor (not shown) and a built-in microcomputer. When the microcomputer (not shown) determines that the exercise of the same intensity has continued for a predetermined time (determined from the weight and exercise intensity) based on the duration data from the timer (not shown), the amount of body fat burned is calculated. When the display mode is started and the display mode is set to "fat" by the display switching button (5), the burned amount of body fat is displayed by the display number (1).
Although the exercise intensity is automatically detected and set in the present embodiment, a method of externally inputting and setting it only when exercise is desired to know fat burning may be used.

The exercise intensity count graph shown in FIG. 2 is a graph of exercise intensity of daily life in relation to time, and when exercise of a certain intensity or more is continuously performed for a certain period of time or more depending on the intensity. It shows that it becomes fat burning,
It shows that fat is burning in jogging, the second half of fast walking, and jazz dance. With a conventional calorie burner,
As shown in FIG. 3, the calories burned by exercise of all strengths are comprehensively calculated and displayed.

In order for a person weighing 60 kg to use the calorie consumption meter of the present invention, the display mode button (5) is used to display the setting mode mark (3) beside "kg", and then the setting button (4) is pressed. Press the reset button (6) or the display switching button (5) to set the displayed number (1) to "60", press the setting button (4) again to finish the weight setting, and use the conventional calorie consumption meter. It can be used by attaching it to the waist as in the above.

As described above, according to the present invention, a calorie consumption meter capable of displaying the burned amount of body fat can be provided instead of a conventional mere calorie consumption meter, and obesity can be eliminated by reducing body fat in daily life. It has an excellent effect that it can be confirmed.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a calorie burner that calculates calorie consumption from factors such as exercise intensity, time, and subject's weight, the exercise intensity is automatically set based on the data from the exercise intensity sensor of the calorie burner to determine the exercise intensity. A calorie burner that calculates and displays the amount of body fat burned after a certain period of time.
