Background
The body fat, muscle, moisture and bone percentages of a user are typically detected in the prior art by a body fat scale.
The existing body fat scale is often provided with an ITO connecting sheet and an ITO coating film. The scale body surface of the body fat scale provided with the ITO connecting sheet is divided into a plurality of parts by the electrode material, and the integrity is not strong. The body fat scale with the ITO coating film usually needs to be provided with a through hole on the surface of the scale body so that a lead can be connected with the ITO coating film, and a shielding cover is arranged to shield the lead, so that the integrity is poor.
In order to avoid the shielding cover from affecting the integrity of the body fat scale, the prior art also adopts a scheme of double-sided ITO coating, namely, the ITO coating extends from the panel surface of the scale body to the back surface of the panel, but the scheme is too high in cost.

In one embodiment, the conductive film 121 may extend to an interface between the sidewall 122 of the panel 120 and the surface of the panel 120, and the flexible conductive medium 140 covers the sidewall 122 and is connected to the conductive film 121 at the interface between the sidewall 122 and the surface.
In another embodiment, the conductive film 121 may also cover the sidewall 122, extend to the boundary position between the sidewall 122 of the panel 120 and the back surface of the panel 120, and be connected to the conductive film 121 by the flexible conductive medium 140 at the boundary position between the sidewall 122 of the panel 120 and the back surface of the panel 120.

The above three embodiments describe three contact positions corresponding to when the conductive film 121 is in contact with the flexible conductive medium 140 only. The particular location where the conductive film 121 is connected to the flexible conductive medium 140 should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.
Optionally, referring to fig. 4a, in a specific embodiment, each of the flexible conductive mediums 140 and the corresponding conductive film 121 are connected through a conductive coating 180.
The conductive coating 180 may serve as an intermediate medium between the flexible conductive medium 140 and the conductive thin film 121, so that the connection relationship between the flexible conductive medium 140 and the corresponding conductive thin film 121 may be more stable.
Alternatively, in another embodiment, each flexible conductive medium 140 is in contact with the corresponding conductive film 121, and the conductive coating 180 covers the position where the flexible conductive medium 140 is in contact with the corresponding conductive film 121. The flexible conductive medium 140 and the conductive film 121 can be covered with a conductive coating 180 at the contact position on the basis that the flexible conductive medium 140 and the conductive film 121 are already in contact with each other, so that the connection stability between the flexible conductive medium 140 and the conductive film 121 can be further improved.
Alternatively, the flexible conductive medium 140 is in contact with the corresponding conductive film 121, and as shown in fig. 4b, the edge of the flexible conductive medium 140 is in contact with the edge of the corresponding conductive film 121; as also shown in fig. 4c, the edge of the flexible conductive medium 140 and the edge of the corresponding conductive film 121 are partially covered on the sidewall 122; as can also be seen in fig. 4d, the edges of the flexible conductive medium 140 and the corresponding edges of the conductive film 121 are mostly covered at the sidewalls 122. The particular manner in which the flexible conductive medium 140 contacts the corresponding conductive film 121 should not be construed as limiting the application.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 4a and 4b, the conductive coating 180 may be disposed on the sidewall 122 of the panel 120, and the conductive coating 180 partially covers the flexible conductive medium 140 and partially covers the conductive film 121 corresponding to the flexible conductive medium 140.
The contact area between the conductive coating 180 and the flexible conductive medium 140 and the conductive film 121 is increased, and even if the flexible conductive medium 140 or the conductive film 121 is damaged, the flexible conductive medium 140 and the conductive film 121 can still be conducted due to the coverage of the conductive coating 180, so that the stability of the electrical connection between the flexible conductive medium 140 and the conductive film 121 is improved.

The extension of the conductive coating 180 further increases the coverage area of the flexible conductive medium 140 or the conductive film 121, thereby further improving the stability of the electrical connection between the flexible conductive medium and the conductive film.
The conductive coating may be a conductive ink, or may be other conductive coating materials, such as silver ion coating, etc., and the specific material of the conductive coating should not be construed as limiting the application.
In the above embodiment, the conductive film 121 may cover or partially cover the sidewall 122, and in a specific implementation process, the conductive film 121 may cover or partially cover the sidewall 122 by sputtering the conductive film 121. However, the sputtering process may cause non-uniformity of the plating layer of the conductive film 121, and the closer the sidewall 122 is to the back surface of the panel 120, the thinner the plating layer of the conductive film may be, so that the conductive coating is added at the position where the conductive film 121 is connected to the corresponding flexible conductive medium 140, which may improve the impedance stability of the conductive film 121, and thus improve the conductive stability.
The flexible conductive medium 140 may be connected to the conductive film 121 through a conductive adhesive, and the use of the conductive adhesive may simplify the structure and reduce the structural complexity of the body fat detector 100. The flexible conductive medium 140 may be one or more of conductive glue, conductive ink, conductive fabric, flexible circuit board, conductive foil, conductive leather.
Alternatively, the flexible conductive medium 140 may be fixedly connected to the panel 120 through a conductive adhesive, so as to electrically connect the flexible conductive medium 140 to the conductive film 121; the flexible conductive medium may also be fixedly connected by other means, such as adhering the flexible conductive medium 140 to the surface of the panel 120 through transparent adhesive tape, and keeping the flexible conductive medium 140 in contact with the conductive film 121.

The number of the electrodes 150 is the same as the number of the flexible conductive media 140, and the electrodes 150 correspond to the flexible conductive media 140 one to one. The panel shell 160 is disposed between the panel 120 and the bottom plate, and divides the hollow accommodating cavity into a first accommodating cavity and a second accommodating cavity, for details, see fig. 1. The first receiving cavity is defined by the panel 120 and the face shell 160, and the second receiving cavity is defined by the face shell 160 and the bottom shell 110. The face housing 160 is formed with a plurality of electrode through holes 161, and the number of the electrode through holes 161 is the same as the number of the electrodes 150. The electrodes 150 are fixedly connected to the panel 160, the electrodes 150 pass through the corresponding electrode through holes 161 of the panel 160 to contact the flexible conductive medium 140 adhered to the panel 120, and the plurality of electrodes 150 are electrically connected to the controller.
Referring to fig. 6 and 7, the electrode 150 includes a plate 151, a fixed end 152 and an elastic end 153, the fixed end 152 is fixed to one surface of the plate 151, and the elastic end 153 is fixed to the other surface of the plate 151. The flat panel 151 and the panel 160 are fixedly connected through the fastening structure 154, the elastic end 153 passes through the corresponding electrode through hole 161 on the panel 160 to contact with the flexible conductive medium 140 adhered to the panel 120, the fixed end 152 is electrically connected to the controller through a wire, and both the controller and the fixed end 152 can be located in a second accommodating cavity surrounded by the panel 160 and the bottom case 110.
Alternatively, the locking mechanism 154 may be a movable protrusion disposed on a side of the plate 151 facing the panel 160, which may engage with a corresponding groove on the panel 160.
The electrode 150 is connected to the flexible conductive medium 140 through the elastic end 153, which can avoid the problem of lifting up the panel 120 caused by rigid connection, so that the connection is more reliable. The end of the elastic end 153 may be provided as a helical metal coil having a large area, so that the contact area with the flexible conductive medium 140 may be increased.
The body fat detector 100 is connected with the conductive film 121 through the flexible conductive medium 140, and then is connected with the corresponding electrode 150 through the flexible conductive medium 140, and compared with the conductive film directly at the panel side wall 122 position and electrode connection, the problem that the electrode arrangement leads to large gaps around the scale body at the side wall 122, thereby leading to poor contact between the electrode and the glass can be avoided.

The working principle of the body fat detector 100 provided by the embodiment of the application is as follows:
the conductive film 121 is uniformly divided into four areas of the body fat detecting electrode 150 so that the user can measure the body fat by standing on the body fat detector 100.
Specifically, the user may step on the left area shown in fig. 2 with the left foot and the right foot in the right area shown in fig. 2 in a barefoot state, thereby forming a power-on loop of the conductive film 121 of the left area-the left foot of the user-the body of the user-the right foot of the user-the conductive film 121 of the right area. The controller is electrically connected to the conductive film 121 in the left region and the conductive film 121 in the right region, wherein the controller is electrically connected to the conductive film 121 through the electrode 150, or directly connected to the controller through a wire by the flexible conductive medium 140 without being transferred through the electrode 150. The controller measures the body fat of the user using a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and a difference in water content of fat and muscle in the human body.
