Description

Schwingungs-Fitness-PlattformVibration fitness platform

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Schwingungs-Fitness-Plattform nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a vibration fitness platform according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Rüttel-Fitness-Plattformen üblicher Bauart sind massiv und schwer, haben eine starre ungefederte Trittplatte, sind für Feuchträume ungeeignet und eine Sound-Rhythmus-Bewegung ist nicht möglich. Der Stromverbrauch liegt teilweise über 300 Watt.The jogging fitness platforms of conventional design are massive and heavy, have a rigid unsprung tread plate, are unsuitable for wet rooms and a sound-rhythm movement is not possible. The power consumption is sometimes over 300 watts.

In der Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE 202 17 341 U1 wird eine Vorrichtung gezeigt, die mechanischen Schwingungen erzeugt und auf den menschlichen Körper überträgt.
Das Prinzip beruht auf einem Vibrationsmotor mit Unwuchtmasse, der die erzeugten Schwingungen über eine Trittplatte auf den menschlichen Körper überträgt.
Entscheidend bei dieser Ausführungsform ist, dass die mechanischen Schwingungen weitgehend nur in senkrechter Richtung auf den Körper übertragen werden und dass die Trittplatte nicht ausreichend gegenüber dem Boden gedämpft ist.In the utility model DE 202 17 341 U1 a device is shown which generates mechanical vibrations and transmits them to the human body.
The principle is based on a vibration motor with imbalance mass, which transmits the vibrations generated via a tread plate on the human body.
Decisive in this embodiment is that the mechanical vibrations are transmitted largely only in the vertical direction on the body and that the tread plate is not sufficiently damped from the ground.

Die DE 203 10 517 U1 zeigt ein Bein- und Fußtrainingsgerät. Mithilfe eines regelbaren Netzteils und eines Niederspannungsmotors werden Vibrationen über zwei Pedale an die Füße abgegeben.
Nachteilig ist dabei, dass die Pedale völlig ungefedert sind und das Gerät ein sehr hohes Eigengewicht hat.The DE 203 10 517 U1 shows a leg and foot exerciser. With the aid of a controllable power supply and a low-voltage motor, vibrations are transmitted to the feet via two pedals.
The disadvantage here is that the pedals are completely unsprung and the device has a very high weight.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine universelle Schwingungs-Fitness-Plattform zu schaffen, welche mit geringem Energieaufwand (von 5 bis 95 Watt) neuartige diagonale, kreisförmige Pendelschwingungen erzeugt und eine gute Abfederung bei Geh- und Hüpfbewegungen realisiert.
Zusätzlich sollten eine Änderung der Schwingung durch akustische Signale und der Einsatz in Feuchträumen möglich sein.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a universal vibration fitness platform, which generates new diagonal, circular pendulum vibrations with low energy consumption (from 5 to 95 watts) and realizes a good cushioning in walking and jumping movements.
In addition, a change of the vibration by acoustic signals and use in damp rooms should be possible.

Zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe ist die Erfindung durch die technische Lehre des Anspruches 1 gekennzeichnet.To solve the problem, the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1.

Wesentliches Merkmal der Erfindung ist, dass sich eine Schwingplatte mittels des Schwingsystems diagonal gefedert auf einem Luftring kreisförmig, pendelnd und schwingend bewegt.An essential feature of the invention is that a vibrating plate by means of the oscillating system diagonal spring on an air ring circular, pendulum and swinging moves.

Mit der gegebenen technischen Lehre ergibt sich der wesentliche Vorteil, dass ein Schwingsystem mit Unwuchtgewicht diagonale Schwingungen mittig auf eine frei bewegliche Schwingplatte überträgt. Die auf einem Luftring gelagerte Schwingplatte erzeugt kreisförmig, wippende Schwingungen, die sich mit unterschiedlicher Amplitude vom Mittelpunkt (gering) zum Rand (stark) verändern.With the given technical teaching, there is the significant advantage that a vibrating system with imbalance weight transmits diagonal oscillations in the middle of a freely movable vibrating plate. The oscillating plate mounted on an air ring generates circular, rocking oscillations that change (strongly) with different amplitude from the center (low) to the edge.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil gegenüber den üblichen Rüttel-Plattformen liegt in der Dämpfung mithilfe des Luftringes. Als Luftring kann ebenso jede andere Form wie ein Oval oder Mehreck Verwendung finden. Dies bedeutet, jeder gasgefüllte Stützkörper als Tragekörper für das Sprungtuch dienen kann. Über den Luftdruck im Luftring kann die Federwirkung der Schwingplatte eingestellt werden. Die Vibrationen der Schwingplatte werden durch den Luftring nur wenig bedämpft, sodass ein hoher Wirkungsgrad erreicht wird. Insgesamt kann somit ein sehr körper,- bzw. gelenkschonender Bewegungsablauf während des Trainings erzielt werden.
Der Luftring kann in verschiedenen Größen ausgeführt werden. Größere Baugrößen ermöglichen ein Liegen der trainierenden Person auf der jeweiligen Schwingplatte.A significant advantage over the usual vibrating platforms is the damping by means of the air ring. As an air ring can also find any other form such as an oval or polygonal use. This means that each gas-filled support body can serve as a support body for the jump cloth. About the air pressure in the air ring, the spring action of the vibrating plate can be adjusted. The vibrations of the vibrating plate are only slightly damped by the air ring, so that a high efficiency is achieved. Overall, a very body, or joint-gentle movement during training can thus be achieved.
The air ring can be made in different sizes. Larger sizes allow for lying of the exercising person on the respective swing plate.

Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt in dem weitaus geringeren Gewicht der Schwingungs-Fitness-Plattform gegenüber den handelsüblichen Rüttel-Plattformen. Der Einsatz des Luftrings trägt dabei wesentlich zur Gewichtsreduzierung bei und ermöglicht einen leichten Transport des Gerätes.Another advantage is the much lower weight of the vibration fitness platform over the commercial vibrating platforms. The use of the air ring contributes significantly to the weight reduction and allows easy transport of the device.

In die Schwingungs-Fitness-Plattform ist ein Lautsprechersystem eingebaut, das unter der Schwingplatte einen hörbaren Schall erzeugt. Hierbei dient das gespannte Sprungtuch als zusätzliche Membran. Dadurch werden die Schwingungen des Schwingungserzeugers mit rhythmischen Schwingungen überlagert und modifiziert.
Der Sound für das Lautsprechersystem wird von einem externen Mp3- oder CD-Player über ein Kabel übertragen.Built into the vibration fitness platform is a speaker system that produces audible sound below the vibration plate. Here, the tensioned jump cloth serves as an additional membrane. As a result, the oscillations of the vibrator are superimposed with rhythmic vibrations and modified.
The sound for the speaker system is transmitted from an external Mp3 or CD player via a cable.

Die Einstellung der Frequenz, Drehzahl, Drehrichtung und Sound erfolgt über einen Regler von Hand oder automatisch vom einem Sound-Controller.
Im Sound-Controller werden tiefe Töne herausgefiltert, um damit die Drehzahl (Frequenz) des Servomotors im Rhythmus der Musik zu verändern. Mithilfe eines Umschalters wird eine Drehrichtungsumkehr des Motors ermöglicht.Frequency, speed, direction of rotation and sound are adjusted manually or automatically by a sound controller.
In the sound controller, low tones are filtered out to change the speed (frequency) of the servomotor to the rhythm of the music. A reversing switch allows reversing the direction of rotation of the motor.

Für einen netzfreien Betrieb wird die Schwingungs-Fitness-Plattform mit einem Akkumulator ausgestattet. Dadurch ist ein Einsatzgebiet nahezu überall möglich.For a mains-free operation, the vibration fitness platform is equipped with a rechargeable battery. As a result, a field of application is possible almost everywhere.

Der Erfindungsgegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ergibt sich nicht nur aus dem Gegenstand der einzelnen Patentansprüche, sondern auch aus der Kombination der einzelnen Patentansprüche untereinander.The subject of the present invention results not only from the subject matter of the individual claims, but also from the combination of the individual claims with each other.

Alle in den Unterlagen, einschließlich der Zusammenfassung offenbarten Angaben und Merkmale, insbesondere die in den Zeichnungen dargestellte räumliche Ausbildung, werden als erfindungswesentlich beansprucht, soweit sie einzeln oder in Kombination gegenüber dem Stand der Technik neu sind.All information and features disclosed in the documents, including the abstract, in particular the spatial design shown in the drawings, are claimed to be essential to the invention insofar as they are novel individually or in combination with respect to the prior art.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von mehrere Ausführungswege darstellenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Hierbei gehen aus den Zeichnungen und ihrer Beschreibung weitere erfindungswesentliche Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung hervor.In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to drawings illustrating several execution paths.

In Figur 1 ist schematisiert die Schwingungs-Fitness-Plattform dargestellt. Die Schwingplatte 1 wird über ein Sprungtuch 5 am Luftring 6 befestigt. Der Lüftung 6 besteht aus einem in sich geschlossenen, mit Luft oder einem anderen gasförmigen Medium gefüllten Reifen. Weitere Ausführungsformen des Luftringes können eine ovale Form oder ein Mehreck sein. Entscheidend bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsform ist, dass der Luftring 6 als Grundgestell für die gesamte Schwingplattenanordnung 1, 2, 3, 5 dient und zusätzlich die Funktion des Dämpfungselementes gegenüber dem Boden übernimmt. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Luftring 6 als kreisrunder Reifen ausgebildet, wobei das Sprungtuch 5 eine Seite der ringförmigen Ausnehmung überspannt. Als Luftring 6 kann somit jeder Luftführende Schlauch eingesetzt werden, wie er z.B. dem Fachmann von Automobilen oder aus dem Nutzfahrzeugbereich bekannt ist.In FIG. 1 is schematized the vibrational fitness platform shown. The swing plate 1 is attached via a jump cloth 5 on the air ring 6. The ventilation 6 consists of a self-contained, with air or other gaseous Medium filled tires. Other embodiments of the air ring may be an oval shape or a polygon. Decisive in the embodiment according to the invention is that the air ring 6 serves as a base frame for the entire swing plate assembly 1, 2, 3, 5 and additionally assumes the function of the damping element relative to the ground. In a preferred embodiment, the air ring 6 is formed as a circular tire, wherein the jump cloth 5 spans one side of the annular recess. As air ring 6 thus each air-carrying hose can be used, as it is known, for example, the expert of automobiles or from the commercial vehicle sector.

Für die Feuchtraumanwendung wird der Luftring auf der Unterseite mit einer haftbeschichteten Oberfläche versehen, um einen sicheren und festen Stand zu gewährleisten.For wet room application, the air ring on the underside is provided with an adhesive-coated surface to ensure a secure and firm footing.

Die Schwingplatte 1 besteht bevorzugt aus einer Siebdruckplatte, Sperrholzplatte oder einem anderen dafür geeigneten Material. Das Material sollte die hohen Sprungkräfte des Benutzers samt dessen Gewicht beschädigungsfrei aufnehmen.The swing plate 1 is preferably made of a screen printing plate, plywood or other suitable material. The material should absorb the high jump forces of the user and its weight without damage.

Das Sprungtuch 5 ist an dem Luftring 6 befestigt. In einer Ausgestaltungsform wird das Sprungtuch 5 mit dem Luftring verleimt. Es kann aber ebenfalls vernäht oder eingehakt werden.
Als Material für das Sprungtuch 5 kann eine PP-Mashfolie oder eine PVC-Gewebefolie verwendet werden. Ebenso können alle Arten von Tüchern verwendet werden, die im Feuchtraumeinsatz Verwendung finden.The jump sheet 5 is attached to the air ring 6. In one embodiment, the jump sheet 5 is glued to the air ring. But it can also be sewn or hooked.
As a material for the jump sheet 5, a PP mash film or a PVC fabric sheet can be used. Similarly, all types of wipes can be used, which are used in the wet room use.

Das Schwingsystem 3 und der Lautsprecher 2 werden mittig unter die Schwingplatte 1 befestigt. Die Schwingplatte ist dabei so aufgehängt, dass sie 360° diagonal schwingen kann. Dabei wird das Sprungtuch 5 zwischen die Springplatte 1 geklemmt und somit eine Verbindung zu dem tragenden und dämpfenden Luftring hergestellt. Die Abmessungen der Springplatte sind kleiner als die des Sprungtuches, um zu gewährleisten, dass das Sprungtuch einen elastischen Ringbereich zwischen seiner Einspannung am Luftring und seiner Befestigung an der Springplatte 1 bildet. Somit überträgt das Sprungtuch 5 die auf der Springplatte 1 entstehenden vertikalen und diagonalen Schwingungen auf den radial außen liegenden Luftring, der aufgrund seiner Luftfüllung elastisch verformbar ausgebildet ist.The vibration system 3 and the speaker 2 are mounted centrally under the swing plate 1. The swinging plate is suspended so that it can swing 360 ° diagonally. In this case, the jump sheet 5 is clamped between the spring plate 1 and thus made a connection to the supporting and damping air ring. The dimensions of the springboard are smaller than that of the jumping sheet to ensure that the sheet forms an elastic ring area between its clamping on the air ring and its attachment to the spring plate 1. Thus, the jump sheet 5 transmits the resulting on the spring plate 1 vertical and Diagonal oscillations on the radially outer air ring, which is formed elastically deformable due to its air filling.

Die Figur 2 zeigt die Schwingungs-Fitness-Plattform als Ausführungsform bei Feuchtraumanwendung. Hierbei kann die Plattform unter einer Dusche 9 oder in einem dampfhaltigen Raum verwendet werde. Ein Einsatzgebiet in Nassbereichen wie z.B.: einem Pool oder Jacuzzi ist ebenfalls möglich.The FIG. 2 shows the vibration fitness platform as an embodiment in wet room application. Here, the platform will be used under a shower 9 or in a steam room. An application in wet areas such as: a pool or Jacuzzi is also possible.

Bei dieser Ausführung befindet sich das Schwingsystem 3 in einem wasserdichten Gehäuse 8.
Zwischen der oberen und unteren Schwingplatte 1 aus Edelstahllochblech wird das wasserdurchlässige Sprungtuch 5 geklemmt.In this embodiment, the vibrating system 3 is in a watertight housing. 8
Between the upper and lower swing plate 1 made of stainless steel perforated sheet, the water-permeable jumping cloth 5 is clamped.

Figur 3 zeigt den Aufbau des Schwingsystems (ohne Lautsprecher) mit einem Scheibenläufermotor 16. Der Scheibenläufermotor überträgt über zwei PU-Kupplungen 10 und eine Aluwelle 12 das Drehmoment auf das Unwuchtgewicht 4.
Um den richtigen Schwingeffekt zu erzeugen, wird das Unwuchtgewicht 4 mit einem Mindestabstand von beispielsweise 250 mm über die Verbindungsstangen 15 von der Schwingplatte 1 entfernt montiert.
Am Flanschlager 11 ist das Unwuchtgewicht 4 drehbar befestigt und überträgt die Schwingungen über mindestens zwei, vorzugsweise vier Verbindungsstangen 15 auf die Schwingplatte 1. FIG. 3 shows the structure of the vibration system (without loudspeaker) with a pancake motor 16. The pancake motor transmits over two PU couplings 10 and an aluminum shaft 12, the torque on the imbalance weight. 4
In order to produce the correct oscillating effect, the imbalance weight 4 is mounted at a minimum distance of, for example, 250 mm, via the connecting rods 15, away from the oscillating plate 1.
On the flange bearing 11, the imbalance weight 4 is rotatably mounted and transmits the vibrations via at least two, preferably four connecting rods 15 to the vibrating plate. 1

Der Scheibenläufermotor 16 erzeugt kreisförmige pendelnde Schwingungen in diagonaler Ebene und überträgt diese auf die Schwingplatte 1. Diese Schwingungen werden in diagonaler Richtung auf den auf der Schwingplatte 1 stehenden Benutzer eingeleitet. Dadurch besteht der Vorteil, dass die Fuß- und Beingelenke im Wesentlichen nur diagonale Schwingungskomponenten erfahren, ohne dass starke, vertikale Rüttelbewegungen die Gelenke belasten.The pancake motor 16 generates circular oscillating oscillations in a diagonal plane and transmits them to the vibrating plate 1. These vibrations are introduced in a diagonal direction on the user standing on the vibrating plate 1. As a result, there is the advantage that the foot and leg joints experience essentially only diagonal vibration components without heavy, vertical shaking movements stressing the joints.

Durch die diagonalen Auslenkungen der Schwingplatte 1 wird der Gleichgewichtssinn des Benutzers geschult und gleichzeitig auch die an der Beibehaltung des Gleichgewichtes tätige Muskulatur. Somit findet auch ein Training der Körpermuskulatur, insbesondere der kleinen Muskelgruppen der Wirbelsäule und der beteiligten Bänder statt.The diagonal deflections of the vibrating plate 1, the sense of equilibrium of the user is trained and at the same time active in maintaining the balance of muscle. Thus also finds a training the body muscles, especially the small muscle groups of the spine and the ligaments involved.
