Description

The invention relates to the field of sports, in particular to sports equipment for athletes, and can be used for the psychological impact on the fighters of special units during the training period, in order to adapt to various stimuli during the direct performance of physical actions.

A device in the form of a hypoxic training mask is known from the prior art, in which a multilevel resistance system is used, aimed at reducing the air flow into the human respiratory tract, (see Hypoxic training mask. Free access. Https://training365.ru/trenirovochnye-maski/ Open edition).

This device allows, during the training process, to improve the condition of the lungs and the breathing mechanism of an athlete, adapt his body to stress, increase lung capacity, strengthen the respiratory muscles, diaphragm muscles, improve pulmonary ventilation, which in general can contribute to an increase in sports results. However, the disadvantage of the device is the lack of the possibility of its use in some types of martial arts, due to the danger to the health of the athlete, for example, the types in which both strikes and wrestling techniques are used, including the danger of its use in the training process for the cardiovascular system with insufficient prepared organism.

In addition, a helmet device for contact types of martial arts with the use of percussion technology is known, which is a molded helmet made of polyethylene foam coated on the front and inner surfaces, including a curved mask with darts, a pad on the forehead, parotid protective rollers, fixing a stitch with a contact fastener " Velcro ", fixed through a half-ring, nasal stitches and lacing with loops along the upper cut, equipped with a monolithic nasal plate extending from the forehead to the back of the head and protecting the head from above and behind, the forehead has a V-shaped cut and bevels, removed up to 180 ° horizontally, (see Description of the patent of the Russian Federation No. 60319 "Helmet for contact types of martial arts with the use of striking techniques" Author AA Grishin, publ. 27.01.2007, bull. No. 3. Open edition). The device of this helmet is taken as a prototype.

The known device of the helmet, due to the elastic qualities of polyethylene foam, various options for fastening and a worked cut, allows you to adjust it within a large size range (from 52 to 59 sizes inclusive). The face cuts of the helmet are reduced in thickness to the oval of the face cutout, which increases the horizontal field of view up to 180 degrees. The chin staple of the helmet is equipped with a half-ring and a safety loop that protects the staple from accidental opening during a fight. The connection of helmet parts: masks with an additional pad on the forehead and S-shaped darts allow to ensure the anatomical shape (curved-oval), to thicken its most shock parts (forehead), to increase its strength due to the multilayer structure. Darts with non-straight cuts have greater elasticity and strength of the connection than with straight cuts. The cover parts of the martial arts helmet increase its durability and hygiene. The helmet has a minimum number of external seams, and the integrity of its coating increases its performance and durability. The curvature of the shape, the internal non-slip coating and options for fastening the helmet ensure its secure fixation on the head, preventing it from rotating, slipping and unbuttoning during a fight. However, the disadvantage of this device is that it does not allow to exert psychological influence on athletes during the training period, in order to adapt them to various stimuli during the direct performance of physical actions, namely: noise effect (imitation of the screams of fans in the stands); imitation of short-term light exposure to the athlete's visual organs (lighting of electrical appliances (spotlights and lamps) of a room, a gym), simulate profuse sweating on the visual organs, and also create conditions for difficulty breathing during hypoxia.

The objective of the present invention is to provide, in addition to the protective functions of the athlete's head from impacts, adaptation to various stimuli during the direct performance of physical actions by imitating some types of physical impact on the athlete's psyche, namely: imitation of profuse sweating in the area of the athlete's visual organs, short-term exposure to them light interference, influencing the hearing organs with a noise effect, creating conditions for difficulty breathing, depending on the level of the athlete's physical fitness, increasing the intensity of training and improving the training process as a whole.

The technical solution of the proposed invention is the use in the device of a universal protective helmet of a hypoxic mask with valves that have the ability to change the amount of air surrounding the respiratory organs, two simulators of light exposure, two simulators of sound exposure with an information storage device connected by means of electric wires with a battery, as well as capacitance for water containing openings for its outlet in the area of the frontal part of the athlete's head, as well as a spongy porous material located in the container.

The technical result of the proposed invention is to ensure the protection of the athlete's head from impacts, as well as its adaptation to various stimuli during the direct performance of physical actions by imitating some types of physical impact on his psyche, increasing the intensity of the training process as a whole.

At the same time, the essence of the operation of the device of a universal protective helmet lies in the fact that during the training process, in addition to the protective functions of the athlete's head from blows, the helmet design imitates some types of physical influences on his psyche in order to adapt it to external stimuli by imitating abundant sweating (with using a dosed water supply) to the area of the athlete's eyes, as well as short-term exposure to artificially created light interference (as when blinding by light sources in the hall room (floodlights, lamps)), impact on the hearing organs with a noise effect (shouting of fans), creating conditions for shortness of breath (imitation of hypoxia).

The device of a universal protective helmet is illustrated by the figure, where: 1 - helmet body; 2 - protective coating; 3 - valves; 4 - hypoxic mask; 5 - simulators of light exposure (LEDs); 6 - imitators of sound effects (speakers) with an information accumulator; 7 - electric wires; 8 - battery; 9 - water tank with a sealed lid; 10 - holes for water outlet; 11 - spongy porous material.

The device of a universal protective helmet, characterized in that it contains a body that fits the shape of the athlete's head, a protective coating is placed on the inner surface of the body to soften the blows, to the front of the helmet in the mouth area, a hypoxic mask with valves is attached under the body, while it is possible to change the volume of the supplied to the respiratory organs of the athlete's air by switching modes on the valves of the hypoxic mask, simulators of light exposure are attached directly above the athlete's eyes to the body, and near the hearing organs, to the right and left of the auricles, imitators of sound exposure with an information accumulator are also placed under the body, and simulators light exposure and imitators of sound exposure to the information storage device are connected by means of electric wires to the battery located under the body in the back of the helmet, and in the upper part of the helmet, also under the body and the protective coating, there is a water tank with a sealed lid and an opening for water outlet by gravity through the spongy porous material to the athlete's eyebrow area.

During the training process, for example, in army hand-to-hand combat, an athlete is put on a universal protective helmet, which is a design that allows him to protect his head from injuries when the opponent strikes in a duel. The helmet has a durable and lightweight body made, for example, of a metal alloy or polymer, under which there is a protective coating (soft material), which reduces the impact on the head and the structural elements located under the body. In the front part of the helmet, near the mouth area, under the protective frame, there is a hypoxic mask so that air is taken in during the breathing of the athlete through the valves located in the mask. It is possible to select and switch several positions (modes) of the valves to regulate the volume of air entering the respiratory system, which simulates hypoxia, improves the condition of the lungs and the athlete's breathing mechanism, adapts his body to stress, increases lung volume, strengthens the respiratory muscles, diaphragm muscles , improves pulmonary ventilation, which in general may help to improve athletic performance. Also, in the front part of the helmet, under the body and protective coating, there is a simulator of light exposure, made, for example, in the form of two LEDs. Simulators of light exposure provide short-term blindness to the athlete's organs of vision, as well as from light sources (spotlights, lamps) located in the room where the fight is taking place. In the area of the right and left auricles, also under the body and the protective covering, there are imitators of sound effects (one speaker on each side) with an information accumulator. They have a noise effect (imitate the screams of fans in the hall). The information storage device is an electronic memory card on which the sounds produced by the imitators of sound effects are recorded. The simulator of light exposure and sound exposure to the information storage device is connected by means of electric wires to a battery located in the back of the helmet under the body and a protective coating. The battery is a chemical source of electricity, and supplies these consumers with electric current for a long period of time for their normal functioning. In the upper part, with the transition to the frontal part of the helmet, also under the body and the protective cover, there is a container for water with a neck for filling it, which is closed by a sealed lid. Also, the container has an opening for a dosed outlet through a spongy porous material located to the area of the eyebrows of the athlete's head, which simulates profuse sweating. The spongy material is designed to impede the exit of water from the container, which ensures the duration of the effect of this factor. All of the above design elements of a universal protective helmet have a physical effect on the organs of vision, hearing, and the respiratory system of an athlete, indirectly affecting his psyche, which allows him to adapt to external stimuli when performing physical actions.

An example of how the device works. During the training process of an athlete, a universal protective helmet, namely, body 1 and protective cover 2, protects the head from injuries, while the athlete breathes air through the valves 3 of the hypoxic mask 4, the light exposure simulators 5 provide short-term blindness of the athlete's vision organs, sound effect simulators with storage device 6 have a noise effect on the organs of hearing. Simulators of light exposure and sound exposure to the information storage 5 and 6 are respectively connected by means of electric wires 7 to the battery 8. In the upper part with the transition to the frontal part of the helmet, also under the case 1 with a protective coating 2, there is a water tank with a sealed cover 9, moreover, the container has an opening for water 10 to exit through the spongy porous material 11 to the area of the eyebrows of the athlete's head.

The proposed device makes it possible to exert a psychological effect on an athlete during the training period through some types of physical influence, expressed in the imitation of abundant sweating in the area of the athlete's visual organs, short-term exposure to the visual organs of light interference, the effect on the hearing organs with a noise effect, the creation of conditions for shortness of breath, increase the intensity of training and improve the training process in general.
