Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for recording a contact pressure of a riding saddle on a riding animal and for determining and visualizing a pressure distribution.
  • the invention also relates to a computer program product.
  • the print too DE 101 59 943 A1 discloses a solution for a saddle pad to be placed separately (cf. Fig. 1 , Bz. 4) with pressure sensors distributed over the surface of the saddle pad.
  • the saddle pad covers the essential surface on which there is contact between parts of the saddle (including the saddle flaps) and the animal. In this way (see summary) contact forces, including those from the riding saddle, can be determined by connecting the sensors to an evaluation or display device.
  • the saddle pad must always be attached first in order to carry out a measurement, and in many cases it is a hindrance to carrying out equestrian sport.
  • the known devices are complex and do not represent a measuring system that can be used by laypeople themselves. They have a poor fit, in particular the riding saddle is not adapted to the thickness of a measuring pad, are too thick and not very mobile and thus falsify the measurement result. They cause skin irritation because they are not breathable. Often no area measurement is used, but only individual measuring points are defined. It depends on chance whether a pressure peak is currently occurring at these measuring points.
  • a significant disadvantage is also due to the fact that an additional measuring pad placed between the riding animal and the riding saddle always only records the vector acting perpendicularly on the measuring pad, which does not, however, correspond to the actual pressure effect. Above all, a vector that acts perpendicularly is not included, so that a considerable part of the load is not taken into account.
  • the riding saddle comprises at least two separate support surfaces forming saddle pads connected to the riding saddle.
  • Each of the saddle pads is designed to determine pressure values at individual locations on the support surface via the support surface which is provided for resting on the riding animal and which has at least one pressure sensor.
  • An evaluation device is provided with which at least local overloads of the mount and a pressure distribution on the support surface can be determined from the pressure values of the pressure sensors.
  • the evaluation device with which at least local overloads and a pressure distribution on the support surface can be determined, and according to an advantageous one Embodiment also a transmission device for transmitting measured values of the pressure sensors to the evaluation device are provided.
  • the saddle cushions are part of the saddle and are usually inseparable from it. They are arranged as a pair of saddle cushions to rest on the back of the mount, each on both sides of the spine, on the underside of the saddle.
  • At least one bottom layer of the saddle cushion is provided with the at least one pressure sensor and this is designed as a multilayer cushion insert, the pressure sensor having an elastic compression layer and at least one distance sensor.
  • the measured distance corresponds to a force acting on the elastic compression layer, for example a felt, which is partially compressed as a result, the compression corresponding to a certain force effect and, taking into account the base area, thus corresponding to a measured value for a certain pressure, a pressure value.
  • the distance sensor is preferably designed as a capacitive sensor.
  • the pressure sensor is designed as a textile sensor.
  • a carrier material such as. B. Felt is provided with pressure sensors in strain gauge technology (strain gauges).
  • strain gauges strain gauges
  • the sensors are embroidered onto the carrier material in the desired measurement density in order to obtain a comprehensive measurement image.
  • Embroidered sensors as they are known from the prior art, can detect physical-technical variables. The advantages of this embroidery technology are in particular that large areas can be equipped with sensors at low cost.
  • Metallic materials in wire make-up or coated conductive or conductive yarns are used as sensor materials.
  • the sensor material is attached to a fleece, felt or other technical textile using embroidery technology.
  • a wire can be placed in front of the Tailored Fiber Placement method and fixed to the fleece with a thread.
  • Capacitive, inductive or resistive sensors can be implemented. Resistance wires made of constantan are used as sensor material for strain sensors, similar to strain gauges. Copper wire can also be used for capacitive or inductive sensors. Coated or conductive yarns can also be processed. The selection of the wire material depends on the intended use and the space available at the place of use. The Wire diameters are 40 to 100 ⁇ m. After the embroidery process, the electrical contact is made by soldering the sensor wire to the contact plate.
  • Embroidery has proven to be an advantageous technology for producing textile sensors as pressure sensors and as transmission devices, RFID antenna structures for the present invention.
  • there is a high degree of flexibility in the placement of the yarn which means that any structure can be displayed.
  • there is extensive freedom in the choice of material This is particularly important when it comes to sensitive materials (finest strands, coated threads, etc.) that are to be processed. Added to this is the precise positioning accuracy of the embroidery machines.
  • These embroidered, textile antenna structures offer several advantages over conventional hard tags. On the one hand, very high reading ranges can be achieved; on the other hand, one advantage of the elements is their purely textile character.
  • the carrier material is then further processed with a sanded leather to form a finished cushion insert for the riding saddle according to the invention and applied to the cushion base with or without a latex layer depending on the application.
  • the cushion is then padded and reconnected to the saddle for further use.
  • the pressure sensor is advantageously arranged between the support surface and a stuffing material, being introduced when a new riding saddle is manufactured or subsequently, for example to retrofit the riding saddle with the technology according to the invention.
  • the pressure sensors are preferably connected to an external power supply.
  • the data are passed on via, for example, a combined transmission and evaluation device that can be attached to the riding saddle.
  • the transmitted data can also be accessed by means of a computer on which a Computer program product runs, evaluated and visually displayed so that the forces acting on the mount can be correctly mapped.
  • the riding saddle comprises at least two separate support surfaces forming saddle pads connected to the riding saddle.
  • Each of the bearing surfaces that rests on the riding animal determines local pressure values at individual locations on the bearing surface by means of at least one pressure sensor.
  • the pressure values are transmitted to an evaluation device, the evaluation device determining at least local overloads and a pressure distribution on the contact surface from the pressure values.
  • the evaluation device determines the events pressure peak and overload in a two-dimensional resolution, so that local pressure peaks and overloads can be determined, and also the duration of these events. In this way, a clear picture of the stress occurring can be achieved, also by referring back to the previous use of the mount.
  • evaluation device determines the balance and the posture of the rider and a preferred uniform load on the horse as well as the currently existing fit of the riding saddle on the riding animal. It is also provided that the evaluation device determines wear of the padding in the saddle cushion and a misalignment of the riding saddle with respect to the riding animal.
  • the evaluation device is preferably arranged locally on the riding saddle and comprises a display device also arranged there.
  • a transmission to a remote evaluation device, which comprises the display device is provided, the display device enabling an immediate or retrievable display of the determined data as well as the output of warnings.
  • This combined evaluation device with display device can be a smartphone.
  • the present invention enables the data averaged after an adjustment to be compared over a defined period of time. Furthermore, a storage of the measured values has proven to be advantageous, which enables long-term measurement with evaluation and conclusions to be drawn about long-term changes in the riding saddle, mount and rider, right up to an advisory function, a visual or other control of the situation. Thanks to the permanent option of pressure monitoring, the riders themselves are able to improve the situation at hand, for example by using a specific pad. Their effect can in turn be checked in a simple manner.
  • the measured values of the pressure sensor 24 are fed to a transmission device 30, which transmits (shown by a dashed line) to an evaluation device 32.
  • the evaluation device 32 has a measured value memory 36 for long-term storage of the determined values and takes over their corresponding evaluation over a longer period. Furthermore, the determined values and the results of the evaluation can be displayed on a display device 34, which is also part of the preferred evaluation device 32.
