Description

손목 휴대용 웨어러블 체지방 연소 테스트 기기{Wearable Body fat burn test kit by breath analysis}Wrist portable wearable body fat burning test instrument {Wearable Body fat burn test kit by breath analysis}

본 발명은 체지방 연소 테스트 기기에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 가스센서를 통해 사용자의 날숨 호흡에 포함되어 있는 아세톤의 존재 유무를 확인하여 실시간으로 체지방의 연소 여부를 확인 할 수 있는 기기에 관한 것이다The present invention relates to a body fat burning test device, and more particularly, to a device capable of checking the presence or absence of acetone contained in the user's exhaled breath through the gas sensor to check whether the body fat is burned in real time.

인체의 주 에너지원인 글루코오스는 탄수화물 및 당류 섭취를 통해 생성이 된다. 그리고 단식으로 인한 섭취량 감소 또는 운동 등을 통해 섭취되는 에너지 보다 소비되는 에너지가 많아질 경우,우리 인체는 에너지원으로서 체지방을 사용하게 된다.    Glucose, the body's main energy source, is produced through the consumption of carbohydrates and sugars. And if the energy consumed more than the energy consumed through intake reduction or exercise due to fasting, our body will use body fat as an energy source.

체지방이 분해되면 지방산(Fatty Acid)이 생성되어 간으로 이동되고, 지방대사가 시작되면서 AcetoAcetate을 형성하게 된다. AcetoAcetate는 다시 Beta-Hydroxybutyrate를 생성하는데, 이때 카르복시 이탈되어 아세톤과 이산화탄소가 만들어진다. 이AcetoAcetate, Beta-Hydroxybutyrate, 아세톤 3가지 물질을 우리는 케톤(Ketone)이라고 명칭한다.When body fat is broken down, fatty acids (Fatty Acid) are produced and transported to the liver, and fat metabolism begins to form AcetoAcetate. AcetoAcetate again produces Beta-Hydroxybutyrate, which carboxylates to produce acetone and carbon dioxide. These three substances, AcetoAcetate, Beta-Hydroxybutyrate, and Acetone, we call Ketone.

케톤은 혈액을 통해 순환되면서 에너지원으로 사용되고, 잉여 에너지원은 호흡과 소변을 통해 배출 된다. 즉, 호흡을 통해 아세톤이 측정 된다면 현재 체지방 연소가 일어나고 있는지 여부를 확인 할 수 있기 때문에, 유산소 운동과 같은 다이어트 활동에 큰 동기부여를 제공 할 수 있다.Ketones are circulated through the blood and used as energy sources, and surplus energy is released through respiration and urine. In other words, if acetone is measured through breathing, it is possible to check whether body fat burning is currently occurring, and thus it can provide great motivation to diet activities such as aerobic exercise.

날숨 호흡을 채취하여 가스크로마토그래피 (gas chromatogrphy) 등의 전문 장비를 활용하여 케톤 측정이 가능하지만, 매우 고가의 장비여서 전문병원 또는 연구소 등에서 사용되어 지고 있다.Although it is possible to measure ketones by using exhaled breaths and using specialized equipment such as gas chromatogrphy, they are used in specialized hospitals or research institutes because they are very expensive.

또한, 체지방 연소 여부를 실시간으로 측정하고 싶은 순간은 운동하고 있는 순간임에도 불구하고 기기의 휴대가 어렵다는 문제가 있다.In addition, the moment that you want to measure the body fat burning in real time, there is a problem that the portable device is difficult despite the moment of exercise.

본 발명은 상술한 문제점을 개선하기 위한 것으로서, MEMS 타입 가스센서를 이용한 가스 검출 기술로 사용자가 운동 중에 쉽고 빠르게 현재의 체지방 연소 여부를 확인 할 수 있는 휴대성이 뛰어난 체지방 연소 테스트 기기를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.The present invention is to improve the above-described problems, to provide a portable body fat burning test device that can be easily and quickly check the current body fat burning during the exercise by the gas detection technology using the MEMS type gas sensor The purpose.

이와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위해 본 발명은 날숨 내에 포함된 아세톤 가스의 PPM 측정이 아니라 가스의 존재 유무만 판단할 수 있도록 간소화하고, 이를 손목 휴대형 웨어러블 기기 형태로 제작함으로써 사용자가 운동 중에 쉽고 빠르고 체지방 연소 여부를 확인 할 수 있는 체지방 연소 테스트 기기를 제공한다.In order to achieve the above object, the present invention simplifies not only the presence of gas but also the PPM measurement of the acetone gas contained in the exhalation, and is produced in the form of a wrist portable wearable device so that the user can burn body fat easily and quickly during exercise. Provide a body fat burning tester to check whether or not.

손목 밴드 외부에 날숨이 유입되는 입구와 배출되는 출구를 구비하며, 날숨 호흡이 유동하는 내부 공간을 형성하고 그 공간 안에 아세톤 가스를 유무 여부를 판단해주는 MEMS 타입의 가스센서를 배치하여, 호흡을 통해 체지방 연소 여부 테스트 결과를 제품에 구비된 LED DISPLAY에 전송하는 기능을 특징으로 한다.It has an inlet for inhalation and an outlet for exhalation on the outside of the wristband, and forms an internal space through which exhalation breaths flow, and arranges a gas sensor of MEMS type to determine whether acetone gas is present in the space. It is characterized by the function of transmitting the test results of body fat burning to the LED display provided in the product.

사용자들이 보다 스마트한 방법으로 운동의 동기부여를 얻고, 체지방 연소 관리를 함으로써 효율적인 다이어트를 할 수 있게 할 수 있다.Users can motivate their workouts in a smarter way and manage their body fat burning to help them diet more efficiently.

구체적으로는 실시간 체지방 연소 여부 확인을 통해 사용자 개개인에 맞는 최적의 유산소 운동량 및 활동대사량을 파악하는데 매우 유용하게 활용 될 수 있다.Specifically, it may be very useful to determine the optimal amount of aerobic exercise and activity metabolism for each user by checking the body fat burning in real time.

도1은 사용자의 날숨이 채취부(10)로부터 들어오면 채취부에서 유동되는 가스는 가스센서부(20)를 통해 얻어진 센서 신호를 제어 및 신호처리부(30)에 전송된다. 제어 및 신호처리부(30)는 신호 값을 분석하고 분석이 끝나면 출력부 (40)에 그 결과를 출력한다1 shows that when a user's exhalation enters the collecting unit 10, the gas flowing in the collecting unit transmits a sensor signal obtained through the gas sensor unit 20 to the control and signal processing unit 30. The control and signal processing unit 30 analyzes the signal value and outputs the result to the output unit 40 after the analysis is completed.

체지방 연소여부는 운동 전?후의 날숨 내에 포함된 아세톤량을 비교하는 방법으로 측정한다. 날숨 호흡 내에 포함된 아세톤량은 사람마다 다르기 때문에 절대량이 아닌 운동 전의 아세톤량과 운동 후의 아세톤량의 차이를 기준으로 체지방 연소여부를 확인한다.Body fat burning is measured by comparing the amount of acetone contained in the exhalation before and after exercise. Since the amount of acetone contained in the exhaled breath varies from person to person, body fat is burned based on the difference between the amount of acetone before exercise and acetone after exercise, not the absolute amount.

체지방 연소 테스트 기기의 (1)의 표면에 버튼(2)을 누르면, 기기에 전류가 가해지고 센서(21)가 가열된다. 센서 값이 설정된 기준 값 이하로 안정화가 되었을 때, 측정준비가 완료되었음을 Led Display(41)를 통해서 표시된다.When the button 2 is pressed on the surface of the body fat burning test apparatus (1), a current is applied to the apparatus and the sensor 21 is heated. When the sensor value is stabilized below the set reference value, it is displayed through the LED display 41 that the measurement preparation is completed.

사용자가 운동을 시작하기 전에 날숨입구(11)를 통해 체지방 연소 테스트 기기에 날숨을 불면 채취부에 가스가 유입된다. 내부공간(12)에 가스가 머무르게 되면서 가스센서가(21)가 가스에 포함된 아세톤량에 따른 전기적 신호를 발생시킨다. 이 전기적 신호는 신호처리부(30)에 전달되어 기준 값으로 저장된다. 그리고 날숨호흡은 날숨출구(13)을 통해 배출된다.If the user exhales the body fat combustion test device through the exhalation inlet 11 before starting exercise, gas is introduced into the collecting unit. As the gas stays in the internal space 12, the gas sensor 21 generates an electrical signal according to the amount of acetone included in the gas. This electrical signal is transmitted to the signal processor 30 and stored as a reference value. And exhaled breath is discharged through the exhalation outlet (13).

이후, 사용자가 운동 도중 또는 종료 후에 같은 방식으로 아세톤량을 측정하여, 운동 전 기준 값과의 차이가 일정 수준 이상 발생할 경우 체지방 연소 상태로 처리되어 Led Display에 표시한다.Then, the user measures the amount of acetone in the same way during or after the exercise, and if the difference with the reference value before exercise occurs more than a certain level, the body fat is burned and displayed on the LED display.
