Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Meßeinrichtung für Schläge bzw. Treffer bei Kampfsportarten, insbesondere Meßweste für Taekwondo, mit einer Schicht aus Polyurethan, die zumindest einen gasgefüllten, komprimierbaren Hohlraum aufweist, wobei die durch die einwirkenden Kräfte im Hohlraum entstehenden Druckschwankungen mittels einer Druckmeßeinrichtung gemessen werden.The present invention relates to a measuring device for strikes or hits Martial arts, especially measuring vest for taekwondo, with one layer Polyurethane, which has at least one gas-filled, compressible cavity, wherein the pressure fluctuations caused by the forces acting in the cavity by means of be measured by a pressure measuring device.

Der Bedarf nach einer derartigen Einrichtung ergibt sich aus der Praxis und wird bereits seit einiger Zeit öffentlich diskutiert. Bei Kampfsportarten wie beispielsweise Taekwondo schlagen die beiden Gegner nach bestimmten Regeln mit Händen und Füßen aufeinander ein, wobei Schläge ab einer bestimmten Mindeststärke zu einem Punktegewinn führen. Die Zielflächen für die Schläge, das heißt jene Bereiche am Körper des Gegners, auf die gültige Schläge gerichtet werden dürfen, sind auf einer Schutzweste, die die Sportler während des Kampfes tragen, eingezeichnet. Diese Schutzweste hat außerdem die Funktion, die einwirkenden Schläge zu dämpfen und damit die Verletzungsgefahr für die Sportler zu reduzieren. Die Beurteilung der Qualität der Schläge war bisher Kampfrichtem überlassen, deren subjektiver Eindruck über die Stärke eines Schlages für die Punktevergabe ausschlaggebend war. Da der Kampfrichter nie die gesamte Zielfläche an den Schutzwesten der beiden Sportler überblicken kann, ist er bei seiner Beurteilung vielfach auf den akustischen Eindruck eines Schlages angewiesen. Aufgrund der vielfach festgestellten Unzulänglichkeit einer derartigen Beurteilung besteht insbesondere für internationale Wettkämpfe das Bedürfnis nach objektiver Messung der Schlagqualität.The need for such a facility arises from practice and has been around since publicly discussed for some time. Martial arts such as taekwondo hit the two opponents with their hands and feet according to certain rules a, whereby strokes above a certain minimum strength lead to a point gain. The Aiming areas for the strikes, i.e. those areas on the opponent's body to the valid ones Shocks are allowed on a protective vest, which the athlete during the Wear combat, marked. This protective vest also has the function of acting To dampen blows and thus reduce the risk of injury for the athletes. Up to now, judging the quality of the strikes was left to the judges subjective impression about the strength of a stroke decisive for the award of points was. Since the judge never covers the entire target area on the protective vests of the can overlook both athletes, he is often in his assessment of the acoustic Impression of a blow instructed. Due to the inadequacy that has been observed many times Such an assessment exists especially for international competitions Need for objective measurement of stroke quality.

Bekannt geworden ist in diesem Zusammenhang aus der DE 39 03 127 eine Vorrichtung zur Anzeige von Schlägen bei Kampfsportarten, die einen geschlossenen, gasgefüllten, komprimierbaren Hohlraum aufweist. Wirkt ein Schlag auf die Vorrichtung ein, so steigt im Hohlraum aufgrund des durch die Komprimierung verringerten Volumens der Druck. Diese Druckschwankung kann mittels einer Druckmeßeinrichtung gemessen werden. Der gasgefüllte Hohlraum ist von einem elastischen Material umgeben und kann mit einem Luftballon verglichen werden. Der im Vergleich zum Umgebungsdruck erhöhte Innendruck im Hohlraum bewirkt, daß der Hohlraum nach dem Schlag wieder seine ursprüngliche Form und Gestalt erhält. Der erhöhte Innendruck bedingt allerdings, daß die elastische Hülle vollkommen gasdicht sein muß und beim geringsten Leck funktionsuntauglich wird.In this context, DE 39 03 127 has disclosed a device for Display of blows in martial arts that contain a closed, gas-filled, has compressible cavity. If a blow acts on the device, the Cavity due to the reduced volume of compression due to compression. This Pressure fluctuations can be measured using a pressure measuring device. The gas-filled one Cavity is surrounded by an elastic material and can be made with a balloon be compared. The increased internal pressure in the cavity compared to the ambient pressure causes the cavity to return to its original shape and form after the blow receives. However, the increased internal pressure means that the elastic cover is perfect must be gas-tight and become inoperable at the slightest leak.

Eine Verbesserung stellt diesbezüglich die in der US 4,850,224 gezeigte Einrichtung dar, deren Schlagaufnahmekörper aus Polyurethan besteht. Die Materialeigenschaften des Polyurethans stellen sicher, daß der Schlagaufnahmekörper zwischen den einwirkenden Schlägen möglichst rasch die Ausgangsbedingungen wieder erreicht. Die Rückstellung wird nicht wie bei der DE 39 03 127 durch den erhöhten Innendruck, sondern durch die elastischen Eigenschaften des Polyurethans erreicht.The device shown in US 4,850,224 represents an improvement in this regard, whose impact pick-up body is made of polyurethane. The material properties of the Polyurethanes ensure that the impactor body acts between the Blows reached the starting conditions as quickly as possible. The provision will not as in DE 39 03 127 due to the increased internal pressure, but through the elastic properties of the polyurethane achieved.

Beim Schlagaufnahmekörper gemäß US 4,850,224 handelt es sich um einen voluminösen Quader, auf den beispielsweise mit der Faust eingeschlagen wird. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die gezeigte Einrichtung zu einer großflächigen Meßeinrichtung, insbesondere einer Meßweste für Taekwondo, weiterzuentwickeln.The impact recording body according to US 4,850,224 is a voluminous one Cuboid, which is hit with a fist, for example. The object of the invention is it, the device shown to a large-area measuring device, in particular one Measuring vest for taekwondo, to be further developed.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß die Schicht eine Vielzahl schlauchförmiger Hohlräume aufweist, die in zumindest einen Sammelraum münden, wobei die Hohlräume im Übergangsbereich zum Sammelraum einen drosselartig verkleinerten Querschnitt aufweisen.This is achieved according to the invention in that the layer has a plurality of tubular ones Has cavities which open into at least one collecting space, the cavities in the Transition area to the plenum have a reduced cross section like a throttle.

Für eine großflächige Ausbildung in Form einer Meßweste muß der gasgefüllte Hohlraum unterteilt werden, damit die notwendige Stabilität über die gesamte Fläche vorhanden ist. Meßtechnisch günstig ist es dabei, wenn die Hohlräume in zumindest einen Sammelraum münden. Dies ermöglicht es, eine einzige Druckmeßeinrichtung im Bereich des Sammelraumes anzuschließen. Um sicherzustellen, daß die durch die einwirkenden Schläge bewirkten Druckschwankungen von der Druckmeßeinrichtung erfaßt werden, sind die Hohlräume im Übergangsbereich zum Sammelraum drosselartig verkleinert. Auf diese Weise wird verhindert, daß über die vom jeweiligen Schlag nicht getroffenen Hohlräume ein rascher Druckausgleich stattfindet, der die Meßqualität beeinträchtigt.For a large-scale training in the form of a measuring vest, the gas-filled cavity be divided so that the necessary stability is available over the entire area. In terms of measurement technology, it is advantageous if the cavities are in at least one collecting space flow out. This enables a single pressure measuring device in the area of Connect the collecting room. To ensure that the impact from the blows caused pressure fluctuations are detected by the pressure measuring device, are the Cavities in the transition area to the collecting space are reduced in a throttle-like manner. In this way is prevented that a quicker about the cavities not hit by the respective blow Pressure equalization takes place, which affects the measurement quality.

Wesentlich für die Meßqualität ist weiters, daß die Hohlräume und der Sammelraum weitgehend gasdicht ausgebildet sind.It is also essential for the measurement quality that the cavities and the collecting space are largely gas-tight.

Die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Schutzweste 10 stellt ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel einer Meßeinrichtung für Schläge bei Kampfsportarten dar. Sie wird vom Sportler am Oberkörper getragen und über Schlaufen, Klettverschlüsse oder ähnliches befestigt und gegen Verrutschen gesichert. Die Schutzweste 10 ist in ihrem Inneren mit einer Schicht 1 versehen, die aufgrund ihres speziellen Aufbaus eine objektive Messung der auf die Schutzweste 10 im Bereich der Schicht 1 einwirkenden Schläge erlaubt. Die Schicht 1 kann grundsätzlich jede beliebige Größe aufweisen, wird jedoch im allgemeinen so geformt sein, daß ihre Fläche mit jerien Zonen am Körper des Sportlers übereinstimmt, auf die gültige Schläge gerichtet werden dürfen. Die Kontur der Schicht 1 variiert daher je nachdem, bei welcher Kampfsportart die Schutzweste eingesetzt wird.The protective vest 10 shown in FIG. 1 represents a preferred embodiment of a Measuring device for blows in martial arts. It is used by the athlete on the upper body worn and fastened over loops, Velcro fasteners or the like and against Secured slipping. The protective vest 10 is provided with a layer 1 in its interior, which due to its special structure, an objective measurement of the protective vest 10 in Area of layer 1 impacts allowed. Layer 1 can in principle be any have any size, but will generally be shaped so that its surface with the zones on the body of the athlete match, aimed at the valid strokes may be. The contour of layer 1 therefore varies depending on the martial art the protective vest is used.

Die Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen den genauen Aufbau der Schicht 1. Diese wird von einer Vielzahl schlauchförmiger Hohlräume 2 durchzogen, die sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Fläche der Schicht 1 erstrecken. Die Hohlräume 2 münden mit ihren Enden jeweils in einen gemeinsamen Sammelraum 3, wobei der Übergangsbereich 4 von den schlauchförmigen Hohlräumen 2 zu den Sammelräumen 3 im Querschnitt drosselartig verkleinert ist.2 and 3 show the exact structure of layer 1. This is of a variety tubular cavities 2, which extend essentially over the entire Extend surface of layer 1. The ends of the cavities 2 each open into one common collecting space 3, the transition area 4 from the tubular Cavities 2 to the collecting spaces 3 is reduced in cross-section like a throttle.

Die nach unten abgeschlossenen Sammelräume 3 weisen am oberen Rand der Schicht 1 Öffnungen auf, an die Schläuche 5 anschließen, die zur Druckmeßeinrichtung 6 führen. Die in Fig. 2 eingezeichneten Pfeile zeigen den Strömungsverlauf bei einem zentral im oberen Bereich der Schicht 1 auftreffenden Schlag: Die Luft strömt dabei beidseits über den drosselartigen Übergangsbereich 4 aus den Hohlräumen 2 in die Sammelräume 3 und über die Schläuche 5 weiter zur Druckmeßeinrichtung 6. Die Druckänderung wird in der Druckmeßeinrichtung 6 mittels einer Membran aufgenommen und in ein elektrisches Signal umgewandelt. Das elektrische Meßsignal wird anschließend der Auswerte- und Sendeeinrichtung 7 zugeführt, an welcher das Meßsignal entweder direkt, beispielsweise akustisch, angezeigt oder über Funk weitergeleitet wird.The collection rooms 3, which are closed at the bottom, point at the upper edge of layer 1 Open the openings to the hoses 5 that lead to the pressure measuring device 6. The Arrows drawn in FIG. 2 show the flow course with one centrally in the upper one Area of layer 1 impact: The air flows on both sides over the throttle-like transition area 4 from the cavities 2 into the collecting spaces 3 and over the hoses 5 further to the pressure measuring device 6. The pressure change is in the pressure measuring device 6 recorded by means of a membrane and into an electrical signal converted. The electrical measurement signal is then the evaluation and transmission device 7 supplied, on which the measurement signal either directly, for example acoustically, displayed or forwarded via radio.

Zur Ausbildung der Schicht 1 eignet sich grundsätzlich jedes elastische Material mit guten Rückstelleigenschaften, wobei sich insbesondere Polyurethan bewährt hat. Polyurethan ermöglicht eine einfache Herstellung der weitgehend gasdicht abgeschlossenen Hohlräume 2 durch Verdichtung des Kunststoffs in den Randzonen zu den Hohlräumen 2.In principle, any elastic material with good quality is suitable for forming layer 1 Resilience properties, with polyurethane in particular having proven itself. Polyurethane enables easy manufacture of the largely gas-tight cavities 2 by compressing the plastic in the edge zones to form the cavities 2.

Das erfindungsgemäße Druckmeßsystem funktioniert grundsätzlich mit jedem gasförmigen Medium, wobei Luft die günstigste Variante darstellt. Auch bezüglich des Ausgangsdruckes besteht grundsätzlich freie Wahl, wobei Umgebungsdruck deshalb vorteilhaft ist, weil kleine undichte Stellen das Meßergebnis kaum beeinträchtigen. Wäre der Druck im System höher oder niederer als der Umgebungsdruck, müßte der Aufbau absolut gasdicht sein.The pressure measuring system according to the invention basically works with any gaseous Medium, with air being the cheapest option. Also regarding the outlet pressure there is basically free choice, whereby ambient pressure is advantageous because small leaks hardly affect the measurement result. The pressure in the system would be higher or lower than the ambient pressure, the structure should be absolutely gas-tight.

Abschließend sei angeführt, daß sich die erfindungsgemäße Meßeinrichtung für ein breites Anwendungsspektrum eignet. Die beschriebene Schutzweste kann beispielsweise auch von Fechtern getragen werden, wobei die zu messenden Kräfte in diesem Fall von Treffern der Fechtwaffe herrühren. Die Einlageschicht zur Messung der einwirkenden Kräfte kann darüberhinaus nicht nur in Schutzwesten, sondern auch in Kopfschützer, Boxhandschuhe, Sandsäcke und Schlagpolster aller Art eingebaut werden. Darüberhinaus ist es sogar vorstellbar, die erfindungsgemäße Meßeinrichtung bei weiteren Sporteinrichtungen einzusetzen, bei denen eine Kraftmessung erwünscht ist. So stellen Einlagsohlen für Laufschuhe, Meßwände für Tennisanlagen sowie Kraftmeßschichten an Ruderblättern denkbare Anwendungsgebiete dar.Finally, it should be mentioned that the measuring device according to the invention is suitable for a wide range Range of applications. The protective vest described can also be used, for example, by Fencers are worn, the forces to be measured in this case being hit by the Fencing weapon. The insert layer for measuring the acting forces can moreover not only in protective vests, but also in head guards, boxing gloves, Sandbags and punch pads of all kinds can be installed. Furthermore, it is even conceivable to use the measuring device according to the invention in other sports facilities, where a force measurement is desired. So insoles for running shoes, Measuring walls for tennis facilities and force measuring layers on rudder blades are conceivable Areas of application.
