Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in these conventional techniques, the abdominal belt is attached to the abdomen, and the circumference of the abdomen installation part changes during breathing, and the contact part of the electrode may move slightly, and the contact state may change.
Changes in the position of these electrodes and changes in the contact state will change the measured impedance value, which may affect the measurement accuracy

Embodiment Construction

[0020] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0021] The visceral fat meter 1 , which is a health management guidance and suggestion device related to an embodiment of the present invention, is equipped with electrodes that are in contact with the skin on a belt attached to the abdomen.

[0022] Composition of Electrode Support

[0023] figure 1 (a) is a perspective view showing the appearance of the electrode support part 11 attached to the abdominal belt (belt-shaped member), figure 1 (b) is a sectional perspective view of the electrode supporting part 11, figure 1 (c) is a cross-sectional view of the electrode support portion 11 .

[0024] The electrode support part 11 is mainly equipped with a base 12 mounted on the abdominal belt and an electrode part 13 movable relative to the base 12 .

[0025] The base 12 is a flat and slightly rectangular parallelepiped along the abdominal belt. The center portion of the sur...

Abstract

The electrode supporting portion 11 is formed of the base 12 attached to the belt and the electrode portion 13 having the electrode 130. The pillar portion 132 of the electrode portion 13 is inserted into the hole 122 formed through the cover 121, and is oscillatably supported via the gap formed between the outer peripheral surface of the pillar portion 132 and the inner peripheral edge of the hole 122. There is provided the coiled spring 14 disposed between the hollow inside of the pillar portion 132 and the bottom plate 124, and the pressure sensing element 15 is provided in the center of the bottom plate 124 which receives the load of the end portion of the spring 14. The expansion and contraction of the spring 14 and the oscillation of the electrode portion 13 allows the electrode 130 to follow the movement of the body surface, thereby reducing changes in the contact condition between the electrode 130 and the subject's body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an impedance measuring device for measuring the internal impedance of a subject and a health management guidance and suggestion device for providing guidance information beneficial to health management such as body fat percentage. Background technique [0002] Techniques for measuring impedance using a belt-type device are disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-113870 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-252257. [0003] However, in these conventional techniques, the abdominal girdle is attached to the abdomen, and the circumference of the attachment portion of the abdomen changes during respiration, and the contact portion of the electrode may move somewhat, and the contact state may change. These changes in electrode position and contact state will change the measured impedance value, which may affect the measurement accuracy. Contents of the invention [0004] The pre...
