[Embodiment] The configuration of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, 1 is a weight scale, 2 is a height scale, 3 is an arithmetic unit, 4 is a printer, and the arithmetic unit 3 is incorporated in the same box. Each of the above elements 1, 2, 3, and 4 is a basic constituent element. A contact sensor 1a is attached to the weight scale 1. A column of the height meter 2 is erected in common with the pedestal of the weight scale 1, and the column has a header 2a which moves up and down along the column. A stop sensor 2b and a touch sensor 2c are mounted inside the header 2a.

The arithmetic unit 3 and the printer 4 are both housed in the same box, and a power switch 5a, a reset switch 5b, a height indicator 4a, a weight indicator 4b, a speaker 4c, a keyboard 3e, etc. are provided on the front panel of the box. It is attached. A block diagram 2 of the embodiment of the present invention will be described. The weight scale 1 for measuring the weight of a person is connected to the system bus through the A / D converter 1b for signal conversion in the same manner as the contact sensor 1b for detection.

The height meter 2 for measuring the height of a person has a motor (not shown) for moving the header 2a. The motor driver 2f connected to the system bus is connected to the height meter via the touch sensor 2c and the stop sensor 2b. The human body detection sensor 2d is connected to the system bus, and the height meter 2 is also connected to the system bus via the cower 2e.

As a data processing configuration, there is a central processing unit (CPU) 3a, and the processing unit 3 is formed by a system memory 3b, a data memory 3c, a timer 3d, and an input keyboard 3e around the central processing unit 3a. It is connected to the bus. The output configuration includes a printer 4, a voice output unit 4c, a height indicator 4a, and a weight indicator 4b, each of which is connected to the system bus.

More specifically, the weight scale 1 is attached to the front side of the pedestal in an embedded manner. A foot mold is scribed on the surface, and a contact sensor 1a is attached to the heel portion. The scale 1 has a function of converting the weight of a person into an electric signal, but since the measured value is an analog value, the maximum measured value is set to 204.8 kg by using the 12-bit A / D converter 1b. Was kept below 0.1 kg. The contact sensor 1a generates a signal when the person to be measured stands on the scale and a load is applied to both heels.

The height gauge 2 is provided on the rear surface of the pedestal, and is provided at a position where a person stands upright on the foot of the weight scale and the back muscle touches the pillar of the height gauge 2. A mm scale is attached to the inside of the column, and the header 2a is moved up and down by a pulse motor (not shown), and at that time, the mm scale is sensed as a pulse. The height mm of the column of the height meter 2 is 2,000 mm from the surface of the weight scale 1 in the planting direction as the first base point, 1800 mm as the second base point, and 1500 as the third base point. The counter 2e is an addition / subtraction counter and counts this pulse. The motor driver 2f drives a pulse motor (not shown) via the touch sensor 2c and the stop sensor 2b according to a command from the system bus. The touch sensor 2c seems to switch the frequency between 400 Hz and 200 Hz, and the stop sensor 2b is for stopping. The human body detection sensor 2d is a short distance red line sensor, and the detection signal is converted into high and low and output to the system bus.

The arithmetic unit 3 is mainly composed of the CPU 3a and has the above-mentioned configuration. The system memory 3b in the device stores an initial setting program, an in / out control program, a logical calculation program, a display program, and the like, and the data memory 3c stores the "Japanese obesity degree" according to sex and age. Judgment data ”, instruction words, degree words, etc. are stored. The instruction words are "stand on the scale," "pull your chin to correct your posture," etc. Degree words are “normal”, “slightly fuzzy”, “too heavy”, etc.

The timer 3d in the apparatus generates time data, and outputs the measurement start time, data collection, processing, time setting, and the date necessary for printing out the calculation result. The CPU 3a executes a predetermined control operation according to the program of the system memory 3b, collects input values from each unit via the system bus, corrective calculation, comparison judgment with the contents of the data memory 3c, voice words, and degree words. And the transfer process to each output unit.

The keyboard 3e is for inputting a numerical value of the subject for sex, age, and positioning of the base point of the header 2a. On the surface of the keyboard 3e, there are keys labeled as male, female, age, and base point, and numeric keys from 0 to 9. The determination of the base point of the header 2a can be set in three steps by inputting the base point key and the numeric keys 01, 02, 03. The correspondence is the mm scale 2000 and 01, 1800 and 02, 1500 of the height meter 2 described above. And 03. This reference point input data is retained until the next reference point key is input or the power is turned off. When the reset switch 5b is operated or the power switch 5a is turned on, the base point is automatically set to 01.

The printer 4, which is a display unit, prints the data of the result calculated and determined by the calculation device 3. The contents are weight, height, degree of obesity with words, date of measurement, etc. The height indicator and the weight indicator indicate the height and weight respectively, and the printer 4 finishes printing and continues until the header 2a of the height meter 2 returns to the base point.

The audio output unit 4c takes in and reproduces the audio data of the instruction word and the degree word output from the arithmetic unit 3 to the system bus and reproduces the audio data and outputs it to the speaker. Next, the operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the power switch 5a is turned on, the obesity measuring device is automatically set to the initial setting state, the computing device 3 is in a state of waiting for input, and the header 2a of the height meter 2 is moved upward and stopped at the base point ( Step 1). Gender and age are input by the keyboard 3e by voice instruction from the speaker 4c (step 2). When a person stands on the weight scale 1, the contact sensor 1a senses it and waits for the output signal of the weight scale 1 to stabilize, and then the computing device 3 fetches the measured value (step 3). When the person to be measured corrects the posture according to the voice instruction and the contact sensor 1a and the human body detection sensor 2d operate, the header 2a of the height meter 2 operates, and the touch sensor 2c and the stop sensor 2b operate to measure the height. The arithmetic unit 3 corrects the displacement of the weight scale 1 for the height scale 2 (step 4). The corrected arithmetic value of the height meter 2 is taken in by the arithmetic unit 3 as a height value (step 5). The arithmetic unit 3 compares and compares the measured values of sex, age and weight, and height, which are key-inputted in Step 2, with the “Japanese obesity and thinness determination data” stored in the arithmetic unit 3 in advance (Step 6). , 7). Then, if the measured weight value is larger than the reference band line of the judgment data, the arithmetic unit 3 selects the expression word of the degree and adds a + sign to calculate the numerical value (step 12). Similarly, if it is low, an expression word of a degree is selected, and a minus sign is added to calculate a numerical value (step 13). If it overlaps with the reference band line, the value is "normal" and the value is 0 (step 8). The arithmetic unit 3 digitally displays the weight value (step 9). The arithmetic unit 3 digitally displays the height value (step 10). The printer 4 prints the measurement date, height value, and weight value, and also prints out as obesity determination data in a way of expression such as “overweight +7.5 kg” and “normal −0.2 kg” ( Step 11). When the printer 3 finishes printing the printer, the arithmetic unit 3 returns the header 2a to the base point (step 14) and enters the initial setting (step 1).

As described above, by using the obesity degree measuring apparatus of the embodiment, it is possible to know the obesity degree of a person very easily and immediately without any prior knowledge. Further, as described above, the base point position of the header 2a can be set stepwise by the keyboard 3e, which is advantageous in terms of time in the case of collective measurement of children of short stature. In the case of group measurements of same-aged and same-aged persons, it is possible to save time because the second person can omit it by specifying the first input.
