Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a controlling method for balance training device, and more particularly to a controlling method by changing the position of the supporting point defined in a balance training device.
  • a conventional balance training device includes a base 41, a supporting member 42 and a platform 43.
  • the supporting member 42 is standing on the base 41, and one end of the supporting member 42 is pivoted with the platform 43 and abutted against the platform 43.
  • the supporting member 42 has a ball-shaped pivoting portion 44 adapted to one end thereof, and the platform 43 defines a pivoting cavity 45.
  • the pivoting portion 44 of the supporting member 42 is received in the pivoting cavity 45, enabling the platform 43 to freely pivot universally relative to the supporting member 42 and allowing the platform 43 to be in a tilted state. Accordingly, a user can stand on the platform 43 and try to make the platform 43 be horizontal, so that the muscle of the user can be trained.
  • the position of the pivoting cavity 45 is fixed; that is, the relative position between the supporting member 42 and the platform 43 is unchanged. Therefore, the user can make the platform 43 be horizontal easily when standing on and the conventional balance training device can hardly provide an effect for training the muscle of the user, due to the platform 43 is tilted within a simple rule.
  • the present invention is, therefore, arisen to obviate or at least mitigate the above mentioned disadvantages.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling a balance training device by changing the position of a supporting point of the balance training device. Accordingly, the platform of the balance training device would be tilted by changing the position of the supporting point, and the user on the platform can adjust his/her postures for balance training.
  • the balance training device comprises a base and a platform.
  • a supporting member is adapted between the base and the platform to abut against the platform, and a reference point is defined at the platform.
  • the point of the platform where the supporting member is abutted against is the supporting point.
  • the platform or the supporting member is movable.
  • the method comprises actuating the platform or the supporting member to move, so that the platform is moved relative to the supporting member; changing the position of the supporting point relative to the reference point by the movement of the platform or the movement of the supporting member; and allowing the platform to be in a tilted state based on the change of the position of the supporting point.
  • a method for controlling a balance training device by changing the position of a supporting point of the balance training device comprises a base and a platform.
  • a supporting member is adapted between the base and the platform to abut against the platform.
  • An edge is defined around the periphery of the platform.
  • the point of the platform where the supporting member is abutted against is the supporting point.
  • the distance between the supporting point and the edge is defined as a lever arm.
  • the platform or the supporting member is movable.
  • the method comprises actuating the platform or the supporting member to move, so that the platform is moved relative to the supporting member; changing the length of the lever arm; and allowing the platform to be in a tilted state based on the change of the length of the lever arm.
  • the platform or the supporting member is actuatable to perform a one dimensional displacement or a two dimensional displacement planarly.
  • the platform and the supporting member may have three actuating modes. The first mode is only actuating the platform to move, wherein the position of the supporting member relative to the base is unchanged.
  • the second mode is only actuating the supporting member to move, wherein the position of the platform relative to the base is unchanged.
  • the third mode is simultaneously actuating the supporting member and the platform, wherein the moving direction of the platform is the same as or different from the moving direction of the supporting member.
  • the supporting member is slidably connected to the platform. Furthermore, the connection between the supporting member and the platform can be carried out by two modes. In a first mode, the platform is tilted relative to the supporting member using the supporting point as a pivoting center. In a second mode, the supporting member comprises an upper segment and a lower segment. The upper segment is abutted against the platform. The upper segment and the lower segment are pivoted to each other by a pivoting portion, so that the platform is tilted using the pivoting portion as a pivoting center.
  • the present invention provides a method for controlling a balance training device by changing the position of a supporting point 21.
  • the balance training device comprises a base 1 and a platform 2.
  • the base 1 is disposed on the ground, and the platform 2 is above the base 1.
  • a supporting member 3 is adapted between the base 1 and the platform 2 to abut against the platform 2.
  • the supporting member 3 is abutted against a bottom plane of the platform 2.
  • a reference point 24 is defined at the platform 2, and the point of the platform 2 where the supporting member 3 is abutted against is the supporting point 21.
  • the position of the reference point 24 is not limited by the present invention.
  • the reference point 24 is fixed and provided as a reference for the supporting point 21.
  • FIG. 1 a first implementation aspect of the balance training device is provided, wherein the supporting member 3 comprises a pivoting portion 35 adapted to a top thereof, and the pivoting portion 35 is pivoted to the bottom plane of the platform 2. Furthermore, the pivoting portion 35 is connected to the platform 2 and slidably movable relative to the platform 2.
  • Fig. 2 in which a second implementation aspect of the balance training device is provided, wherein the supporting member 3 comprises an upper segment 31 and a lower segment 32.

  • a proper friction may be provided between the pivoting portion 33 and the upper segment 31.
  • a top of the upper segment 31 is abutted against the bottom plane of the platform 2, and a bottom of the lower segment 32 is adapted on the base 1,
  • the upper segment 31 is not fixedly connected with the platform 2, and the lower segment 32 is not fixedly connected with the base 1; instead, the upper segment 31 is movable relative to the platform 2, and the lower segment 32 is movable relative to the base 1.
  • the connection between the upper segment 31 and the platform 2 and the connection between the lower segment 32 and the base 1 are not limited.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an example about the connection between the upper segment 31 and the platform 2 and the connection between the lower segment 32 and the base 1.
