Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Trainings- und/oder Rehabilitationseinrichtung, bei welcher ein Geh- oder Laufband in einem Wasserbehälter mit strömendem Wasser angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a training and / or rehabilitation device in which a walker or treadmill is arranged in a water tank with flowing water.

Bei bekannten Ausbildungen dieser Art ist ein Geh- oder Laufband in ein mit einer Strömungsanlage ausgestattetes Becken eingesetzt, wobei diese Becken hauptsächlich zur Behandlung von Tieren verwendet wird (siehe dazu insbesondere DE 3911370 C2 , DE 102004010188 A1 oder DE 10001878 A1 ).In known embodiments of this type, a walker or treadmill is used in a tank equipped with a flow system, wherein these basins are mainly used for the treatment of animals (see in particular DE 3911370 C2 . DE 102004010188 A1 or DE 10001878 A1 ).

Auch bei der DE 19963583 A1 , welche einen "Aqua-Trainer für Menschen" offenbart, ist ein Laufband fix in einen mit einer Strömungsanlage bzw. Gegenstromschwimmanlage ausgestatteten Wasserbehälter eingesetzt.Also at the DE 19963583 A1 , which discloses an "aqua trainer for people", a treadmill is fixed in a equipped with a flow system or countercurrent water tank water tank.

Die US 4 576 376 A offenbart ein in ein Becken eingesetztes Laufband, mittels welchem eine Pumpe antreibbar ist. Bei Betätigung des Laufbandes wird mittels der vom Band angetriebenen Pumpe Wasser aus dem Becken ausgesaugt und über Öffnungen in einer Steigleitung in das Becken rückgeführt. Das Wasser tritt dabei ungesteuert in das Becken aus. Die Pumpe ist zur Steuerung des Laufwiderstandes vorgesehen, wobei bei hohem Laufwiderstand nur wenig Wasser umgepumpt wird. Der Laufwiderstand wird mittels eines der Pumpe nachgeschaltenen Ventils geregelt. Diese Pumpe ist aber nicht geeignet, eine auf den Körper einwirkende nennenswerte Strömung des Wassers zu erzeugen. Sie wirkt lediglich als Bremseinrichtung für das Geh- oder Laufband. Ein Strömungsgenerator ist nicht vorgesehen. Die Pumpleistung hängt von der Betätigung des Geh- oder Laufbandes und von der Einstellung eines Strömungsventiles ab.The US 4 576 376 A discloses a treadmill inserted into a pelvis, by means of which a pump is drivable. When the treadmill is actuated, water is sucked out of the tank by means of the pump driven by the belt and returned to the tank via openings in a riser. The water enters uncontrolled in the basin. The pump is designed to control the running resistance, with high running resistance only little water is pumped. The running resistance is regulated by means of a downstream valve of the pump. However, this pump is not suitable for generating a significant flow of water on the body. It acts only as a braking device for the walking or treadmill. A flow generator is not provided. The pumping capacity depends on the operation of the walker or treadmill and the setting of a flow valve.

Alle bekannten Ausbildungen haben, wie erwähnt, den Nachteil, dass das Geh- oder Laufband für die Unterwassertherapie in Kombination mit der Wasserströmung nur dann angewendet werden kann, wenn die Wasserbecken mit entsprechenden Strömungsanlagen versehen sind.All known embodiments have, as mentioned, the disadvantage that the walking or treadmill for underwater therapy in combination with the flow of water can be applied only if the pools are provided with appropriate flow systems.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Einrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welche unabhängig von der Ausbildung des Wasserbehälters oder auch in Freiwasser eingesetzt werden kann.The invention is based on the object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which can be used regardless of the design of the water tank or in open water.

Weiters liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Geh- oder Laufband mit einem Strömungsgenerator auf einem gemeinsamen Rahmen vorzusehen, wobei der Strömungsgenerator und das Geh- oder Laufband unabhängig voneinander steuerbar sind.It is a further object of the present invention to provide a walker or treadmill with a flow generator on a common frame, wherein the flow generator and the walker or treadmill are independently controllable.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass das Geh- oder Laufband mit einer an sich bekannten Antriebs- und/oder Bremseinrichtung versehen ist, wobei die Antriebs- und/oder Bremseinrichtung mit einem Zentralrechner verbunden ist, über welchen sowohl die Antriebs- und/oder Bremseinrichtung als auch der Strömungsgenerator unabhängig voneinander steuerbar ist. Damit ist es ermöglicht, dass für Therapie- und Trainingszwecke ein Laufband bzw. Gehband in alle bestehenden Becken eingesetzt werden kann, wobei auch die Möglichkeit gegeben ist, das erfindungsgemäße Trainingsgerät in ein Freiwasser einzusetzen. Es benötigt lediglich einen festen Standplatz am Boden.According to the invention this object is achieved in that the walking or treadmill is provided with a known drive and / or braking device, wherein the drive and / or braking device is connected to a central computer, via which both the drive and / or Braking device and the flow generator is independently controllable. This makes it possible that for therapy and training purposes, a treadmill or walking band can be used in all existing pools, with the possibility is also given to use the training device according to the invention in an open water. It only needs a firm stand on the ground.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Geh- oder Laufband und der Strömungsgenerator auf einem gemeinsamen Rahmen angeordnet. Dies ermöglicht das einfache Einsetzen bzw. Herausnehmen der erfindungsgemäßen Trainings- und/oder Rehabilitationseinrichtung in bzw. aus einem Wasserbehälter. Weiters ist das Geh- oder Laufband in an sich bekannter Weise mit einer Antriebs- und/oder Bremseinrichtung versehen, womit die Laufbandgeschwindigkeit bzw. der durch das Laufband dem Benutzer entgegengesetzte Widerstand der Therapie bzw. dem Trainingsstadium entsprechend adaptiert werden kann. Dazu kann die Antriebs- und/oder Bremseinrichtung mit einem Zentralrechner verbunden sein, über welchen sowohl die Antriebs- und/oder Bremseinrichtung als auch der Strömungsgenerator steuerbar ist. Damit ist es ermöglicht, einerseits die Bandgeschwindigkeit bzw. den Bandwiderstand und andererseits die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des aus dem Strömungsgenerator austretenden Wassers aufeinander abgestimmt den jeweiligen Bedürfnissen entsprechend zu regulieren. Dazu kann die Regelgröße für den Zentralrechner die Position der benützenden Person am Geh- oder Laufband und/oder die Bandgeschwindigkeit sein. Zur Bestimmung der Position der benützenden Person können Sensoren am Geh- oder Laufband vorgesehen sein. Für eine besonders einfache Ausbildung können die Sensoren als am Strömungsgenerator angebrachte Abstands- bzw. Näherungssensoren ausgebildet sein. Damit erübrigt es sich Sensoren unmittelbar unter dem Laufband anzuordnen, was insofern nachteilig ist, als bei Belastung das Laufband über die Sensoren gleitet. Schließlich kann die Neigung des Geh- oder Laufbandes einstellbar sein, um unterschiedliche Belastungsmuster für die trainierende Person einzustellen.Advantageously, the walker or treadmill and the flow generator is arranged on a common frame. This allows easy insertion or removal of the training and / or rehabilitation device according to the invention in or out of a water tank. Furthermore, the walker or treadmill is provided in a conventional manner with a drive and / or braking device, whereby the treadmill speed or by the treadmill the user opposite resistance of the therapy or the training stage can be adapted accordingly. For this purpose, the drive and / or braking device can be connected to a central computer, via which both the drive and / or braking device and the flow generator can be controlled. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to regulate the belt speed or the belt resistance and, on the other hand, the flow speed of the water emerging from the flow generator in accordance with the respective requirements. For this purpose, the controlled variable for the central computer can be the position of the person using the walking or running belt and / or the belt speed. To determine the position of the person using sensors may be provided on the walking or treadmill. For a particularly simple embodiment, the sensors can be designed as distance or proximity sensors attached to the flow generator. This eliminates the need to place sensors directly under the treadmill, which is disadvantageous in that under load the treadmill slides over the sensors. Finally, the inclination of the walking or Treadmill be adjustable to adjust different load patterns for the exercising person.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes schematisch dargestellt. Fig. 1 ist eine schematische Seitenansicht, wobei das Gehäuse des Strömungsgenerators seitlich geöffnet ist. Fig. 2 ist eine schematische Draufsicht auf die Ausbildung gemäß Fig. 1.In the drawing, an embodiment of the subject invention is shown schematically. Fig. 1 is a schematic side view, wherein the housing of the flow generator is opened laterally. Fig. 2 is a schematic plan view of the training according to Fig. 1 ,

Auf einem Tragrahmen 1 ist ein Geh- oder Laufband 2 sowie ein Strömungsgenerator 3 angeordnet. Der Strömungsgenerator 3 wird dabei durch eine Turbine 4 angetrieben und befindet sich in einem Gehäuse 5, in welches das Wasser über seitliche Ansauggitter 6 eingesaugt wird. Das angesaugte Wasser wird über eine Ausströmdüse bzw. einen Ausströmkanal 7 in das Becken gefördert, wobei in dem Gehäuse 5 den Wasserstrom umlenkende Leitbleche 8 angeordnet sind. Die im Becken herrschende Strömung ist durch die Pfeile 9 angedeutet.On a support frame 1, a walker or treadmill 2 and a flow generator 3 is arranged. The flow generator 3 is driven by a turbine 4 and is located in a housing 5, in which the water is sucked in via lateral intake grille 6. The sucked water is conveyed through a discharge nozzle or a discharge channel 7 into the basin, wherein in the housing 5 the water flow deflecting baffles 8 are arranged. The prevailing in the basin flow is indicated by the arrows 9.

Sowohl das Laufband 2 als auch der Strömungsgenerator 3 stehen mit einem Zentralrechner 10 in Verbindung, welcher sowohl das Laufband 2 als auch den Strömungsgenerator 3 in Abhängigkeit voneinander oder unabhängig voneinander regelt. Der das Laufband 2 tragende Rahmen 1 ist über Stellfüße 11 am Boden 21 des Behälters abgestützt. Das Laufband 2 weist eine Umlenkwalze 12 und eine Antriebs- und/oder Bremseinrichtung 13 auf. Diese Antriebs- und/oder Bremseinrichtung ist jedoch nicht unbedingt erforderlich, wobei dann die Regelung der Einrichtung bzw. die Belastung des Probanden über die Leistung des Strömungsgenerators erfolgt. Mit 14 und 15 sind Haltegriffe angedeutet, an welche sich ein Läufer 17 für eine sichere Bewegung halten kann. Der Haltegriff 14 befindet sich dabei unterhalb der Wasserlinie 16, der Haltegriff 15 hingegen oberhalb derselben.Both the treadmill 2 and the flow generator 3 are connected to a central computer 10, which controls both the treadmill 2 and the flow generator 3 as a function of each other or independently. The treadmill 2 supporting frame 1 is supported by feet 11 on the bottom 21 of the container. The treadmill 2 has a deflection roller 12 and a drive and / or braking device 13. However, this drive and / or braking device is not absolutely necessary, in which case the regulation of the device or the load of the subject via the power of the flow generator takes place. With 14 and 15 handles are indicated, to which a runner 17 can hold for a safe movement. The handle 14 is located below the waterline 16, the handle 15, however, above it.

Mit 18 ist als Alternative zum Läufer 17 ein Schwimmer angedeutet, der die erfindungsgemäße Trainings- und/oder Rehabilitationseinrichtung für die Erzeugung eines Gegenstromes zum Schwimmtraining nützt. In diesem Fall bleibt dann das Laufband 2 unbenützt.With 18 is indicated as an alternative to the rotor 17, a float, which uses the training and / or rehabilitation device according to the invention for the generation of a countercurrent to swim training. In this case, then the treadmill 2 is unused.

Am Tragrahmen 1 ist noch ein Abstandhalter 19 vorgesehen um die Einrichtung in entsprechendem Abstand vom Beckenrand 20 zu halten.On the support frame 1, a spacer 19 is still provided to keep the device at an appropriate distance from the pool edge 20.

Für die Steuerung der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung durch den Zentralrechner 10 wird üblicherweise die Position des Läufers 17 herangezogen, wobei die Positionsmessung in herkömmlicher Weise etwa durch einen nicht dargestellten Abstands- oder Näherungssensor erfolgen kann, welcher am Gehäuse 5 des Strömungsgenerators 3 angebracht ist. Alternativ dazu könnten auch unterhalb des Laufbandes vorgesehene Drucksensoren vorgesehen sein, welche dann aufgrund des vom Läufer auf das Laufband aufgebrachten Druckes die Position des Läufers bestimmen.For the control of the device according to the invention by the central computer 10, the position of the rotor 17 is usually used, wherein the position measurement in a conventional manner, for example by a distance or proximity sensor, not shown can be done, which is attached to the housing 5 of the flow generator 3. Alternatively, provided below the treadmill pressure sensors could be provided which then determine the position of the rotor due to the pressure applied by the runner on the treadmill.

In ebenfalls nicht dargestellter Weise könnte das Laufband auch um die Achse der Walze 12 schwenkbar sein und zwar derart, dass die die vordere Umlenkung des Bandes bewirkende Antriebs- und/oder Bremseinrichtung 13 zum Beckenrand hin schwenkbar ist. Damit kann ein Ansteigen über eine geneigte Fläche simuliert werden.In a manner not shown also, the treadmill could also be pivotable about the axis of the roller 12 in such a way that the drive and / or braking device 13 effecting the front deflection of the belt is pivotable towards the edge of the pool. Thus, an increase over an inclined surface can be simulated.
