1 is a perspective view illustrating a body information composite measuring device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a rotation rod employed in an embodiment of the present invention centered on a rotation support in a state in which one side is connected to the rotation support. It is a view for explaining rotation, Figure 3 is a view for explaining the connection structure between the rotation rod and the rotation support employed in one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a view for explaining the use state of one embodiment of the present invention am.

As shown in these drawings, the body information complex measuring device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rotating support 100, a rotating rod 200, a supporting rod 300, and a controller 400.

The rotating support 100 is formed long in the longitudinal direction on the bottom surface, and may form a space therein. The rotating support 100 may accommodate the controller 400 in an internal space, and may be moved by connecting or separating the controller 400 to the bottom surface in various ways.

The rotating support 100 is connected to the rotating rod 200 and serves as a central rotating shaft for stable rotation of the rotating rod 200 . The rotating support 100 may be connected to the rotating rod 200 in various ways, and supports the rotating rod 200 so that the rotating rod 200 can rotate in the connected state. For example, the rotating support 100 and the rotating rod 200 may be connected to each other in a ball bearing (B) method or may be connected in various gear methods.

The rotating rod 200 is formed long with a predetermined standard length along a direction crossing the rotating support 100, and one side is rotatably connected to the rotating support 100 so that the circumference of the rotation support 100 rotate along the direction In addition, the rotating rod 200 is provided with a body sensing means 210 on the other side.

Preferably, the rotating rod 200 has a reference length of 0.955 m. Therefore, when the rotation rod 200 is rotated around the rotation support 100 in a state where the user holds the body sensing means 210, a circular movement path having a circumference of about 6 m (5.9974 m) is provided. form

In the rotating rod 200, the body sensing means 210 may be composed of various sensing means capable of measuring muscle strength or muscle mass. For example, the body sensing means 210 may be formed in the form of a hand grip used in an in-body measuring device for body composition testing.

In the present invention, a case in which the body sensing means 210 is composed of a grip dynamometer will be mainly described. In addition, the body detecting unit 210 senses a body signal from the user when the user grips the body, and transfers the body signal to the controller 400, thereby enabling the user's body state information to be obtained. Here, the user means a user, patient, measurement client, etc. who require exercise prescription, confirmation of muscle sensitivity trend, rehabilitation treatment, and the like.

In addition, the support rod 300 is formed long in the longitudinal direction from the bottom like the rotation support 100 and is connected to one section of the rotation rod, that is, a section between one side and the other side of the rotation rod 200, and the rotation rod ( 200) and rotates together with the rotating rod. In addition, the support rod 300 is provided with a time sensing means 310 at a portion facing the rotation support 100, so that when the rotation rod 200 rotates, the support rod 300 detects the circumferential direction of the rotation support. It is possible to calculate the rotation time required to rotate accordingly.

Here, the time detecting means 310 may be composed of various sensors capable of sensing a signal, and in the present invention, an optical sensor will be mainly described. In addition, the time detecting means 310 is not limited to measuring the time by the light sensing described above, and can be implemented to directly measure the rotational speed of the rotating rod using, for example, a known encoder. .

For example, the time detecting means 310 may include a light irradiation unit provided on the support rod 300 and a light collecting unit provided on the rotating support 100 facing the light irradiation unit. The time detection unit 310 transmits and receives light when the rotating rod 200 does not rotate, and transmits a corresponding detection signal to the control unit 400.

Then, when the support rod 300 together with the rotation rod 200 is rotated (moved) along the circumferential direction of the rotation support body 100, the time detection means 310 cannot transmit/receive the light, so the detection signal is not transmitted to the control unit 400. Subsequently, when the rotating rod 200 returns to the original position, the time detecting means 310 transmits and receives light again at the point of return, and transmits a corresponding detection signal (return signal) to the control unit 400.

At this time, the control unit 400 calculates the time difference between the initial detection signal when the rotating rod is not rotated and the detection signal (return signal) at the time of returning to the original position after the rotation of the rotating rod, and the user (patient) is about 6 m Determine how much time has elapsed to travel a distance of The control unit 400 determines the user's physical activity ability based on the time and enables the physical activity ability information for the user to be displayed on various display devices.

If the time difference at the time of return is less than 6 seconds, the controller 400 determines that the user has moved a distance of 6 m within 6 seconds, determines the user's physical activity ability as normal, and displays it on various display devices. make it possible On the other hand, if the time difference at the time of return exceeds 7 seconds, the control unit determines the user's physical activity ability as an abnormal state or a state requiring a prescription.

Furthermore, the support rod 300 may include a roller 320 at an end in contact with the bottom surface. The roller 320 is provided between the bottom surface and the support rod 300 to prevent friction between the bottom surface and the support rod 300 when the rotation rod 200 rotates, and together with the rotation rod 200 It enables smooth rotation of the support rod 300.

The controller 400 is electrically connected to the body sensing means 210 and the time sensing means 310, and receives the body signal and return signal from the body sensing means 210 and the time sensing means 310. , the user's physical condition and physical activity ability are determined by comparing with preset standards, respectively. In addition, the controller 400 generates physical condition information and physical activity ability information for the user, and then outputs the information to various display means (computer, monitor, speaker, etc.).

For example, the controller 400 determines that the body detecting means 210 of the rotating rod 200 moves one turn (6 m) around the rotating support 100 along the circumferential direction. A detection signal is received from the sensing means 210 and a return signal is received from the time sensing means 310 at the same time.

At this time, the controller 400 compares the body signal based on the detection signal, that is, the user's grip strength, with a predetermined grip strength-related criterion, and generates body state information about the user's muscle strength based on the comparison value. At the same time, the controller 400 calculates the time interval between the return signal and the first detection signal before the user's movement, calculates the time required for the user to move the reference distance (6m) based on the time interval, and then calculates the preset distance. The physical activity ability information of the user is generated by comparing with the required time criterion.

In other words, the controller 400 determines that the user's muscle strength is in a normal state when the grip strength of the user is 28 kg or more when the user is male and 18 kg or more when the user is female, and the time required for the user to move the reference distance If it is less than 6 seconds, it is determined that the user's physical activity ability is in a normal state. Then, the controller 400 outputs the user's physical condition information and physical activity ability information for muscle strength to various output means.

Here, the body condition information refers to at least one body information among grip strength, muscle strength, muscle mass, body fat mass, body water content, visceral fat mass, basal metabolic rate, or inorganic mass. In addition, the physical activity ability information refers to various body information such as walking ability, posture maintaining ability, standing balance ability, etc. based on the walking time of the user walking along the circumferential direction with the rotating support 100 as the center.

In the body information composite measuring device according to an embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration, the rotation rod 200 is connected to the rotation support 100 formed long in the longitudinal direction so that the rotation support 100 is the center in the circumferential direction. The body sensing means 210 for measuring the user's grip strength is provided on the other side of the rotating rod 200 that is rotated along and not connected to the rotating support 100, and the support rod 300 is formed long in the longitudinal direction to It is connected to the rotating rod 200 and rotates together with the rotating rod 200, and a time sensing means 310 is provided at the part where the support rod 300 and the rotating support 100 face each other so that the rotating rod 200 It is possible to measure the time required for the rotation of the body, and the controller 400 receives the body signal and the return signal from the body sensing means 210 and the time sensing means 310, respectively, to determine the user's physical condition and physical activity ability. By generating information after judgment, the patient's physical information such as muscle strength and muscle mass and physical activity ability can be measured simultaneously without separate measuring equipment, shortening the time required for the measurement, lowering the patient's economic burden, and measuring Based on the acquired body information and physical activity ability, it has the effect of enabling customized exercise prescriptions for patients.
