Description

The proposed utility model relates to simulators that improve body balance, foot sensitivity, proprioceptive sensitivity, vestibular control, and a person's ability to sensory integration. Designed primarily as a trainer for lead-in, follow-up or parallel sessions on sports boards (snowboard, wakeboard, surf and similar sports equipment), as well as a health and rehabilitation device to improve body balance control, balance, coordination.

The purpose of the proposed utility model is to create a simulator for training balance and coordination of movements on a sports board, expanding the range of exercises.

From the prior art (RU 200020 U1, 01.10.2020) a simulator for training balance and coordination of movements is known, including a power platform fixed on a flat surface, a supporting surface fixed on a power platform, sensors for determining the coordinates of the common center of pressure, a support surface control system , a control unit and a 3D training visualization unit, while the supporting surface is a board connected in its front part to the power platform articulated, and the supporting surface control system is made by means of a mechanism capable of raising or lowering the back of the board, and the sensors are installed along the edges of the surface on which the power platform is fixed.

The disadvantage of the known solution is the limitation of the training process and the situations simulated on the simulator with the complexity of the design.

The closest in technical essence is the solution RU 188236 U1, 04/03/2019, which reveals a balancer simulator, including a rotary device, consisting of two disks on a hemispherical support, interconnected by an axle with a plain bearing and a screw head, and the upper part of the axle is made with an outer thread, and the head is made with an internal thread, rotating relative to each other in a horizontal plane due to rolling bearings, and the upper disk is attached by welding to a rail with plugs, which allows the balancing board to move in a horizontal plane to the left and right on the rollers fixed in the frames, moreover, the length of the board stroke is limited by the motion limiters.

The disadvantage of the known solution is the limitation of the training process, since there are no forward and backward oblique movements, and it is also impossible to shift the contact spot of the board from the center in any direction, which limits the simulation of various situations with the board on the simulator.

The purpose of this utility model is to develop a simulator design that eliminates the indicated disadvantages of known devices.

The technical result is to expand the range of training exercises that are as close as possible to real conditions using various board-based sports equipment, while at the same time simplifying the design of the device.

This technical result is achieved by the fact that the simulator for training balance and coordination of movements includes a platform made in the form of a board, along the edges of which movement limiters are installed from below,

From below, along the length, the platform includes a groove made with the possibility of interaction with the support ball,

at the same time, the support ball is movable along the groove relative to the support surface of the simulator installation.

The platform has an anti-slip coating on top.

The motion limiters are made with the possibility of adjusting their lowering/raising height.

The movement limiters are made of an elastic-elastic material.

The groove, in plan, is made in the form of a sector of the support ball, repeating its contour.

Further, the proposed utility model will be considered in detail, taking into account the illustration, where

in fig. 1 shows a general view of the front of the device,

in fig. 2 - top view,

in fig. 3 - section B-B,

in fig. 4 - section C-C,

where 1 - platform;

2 - movement limiters;

3 - groove;

4 - support ball.

The simulator for training balance and coordination of movements includes a platform 1, made in the form of a board. The shape of the platform 1 is preferably rectangular with rounded edges to minimize the possibility of injury. The material of the platform can be different, for example, wood, plywood, plastic, etc. The platform 1 must be rigid and have sufficient strength when exposed to a load by the weight of a person, as well as certain impact loads associated, for example, with a person falling onto the platform 1.

The platform 1 is preferably covered on top with an anti-slip coating, for example, a layer of anti-slip rubber with a molded relief pattern or other material that reduces the slip of shoes and, preferably, softens the impact of a person when falling on the device, especially if an inexperienced user is training.

Movement limiters 2 are installed at the bottom along the edges of the platform 1. The movement limiters 2 are preferably made in the form of plates placed on each side of the platform 1 or in the form of two pairs of protruding supports or in another form, to limit the movement of the ball 4 and limit the tilt of the board left-right when doing a workout. The movement limiters 2 are preferably made with the possibility of adjusting their lowering/raising height. Adjustment of the height of the lowering / lifting can be carried out by different execution of the limiters 2, for example, their greater / smaller recession into the cavity of the platform 1 or by installing spacers of different heights between the platform 1 and each limiter 2, adjusting their height or otherwise. Preferably, the adjustment of the motion limiter 2 is carried out by means of screw pushers (not shown in the figure) placed in the motion limiters 2, allowing the height of the motion limiters 2 to be adjusted by turning the screw.

The movement limiters 2 can be made, for example, of plywood, plastic or other materials. The movement limiters 2 can be made of an elastic-elastic material, such as rubber, rubber and other materials that ensure their slight deformation under load and return to their original position when the load is removed. Board 2 motion limiters reduce the lateral inclination of the simulator, make it easier to take the basic position at the beginning of training and at the end of training on the simulator. When the board is tilted, the board 2 movement limiters additionally act as a board 2 movement limiter in height (according to the platform 1 deviation angle), which simulates the situation when using a sports equipment based on boards, where a large deviation in the board inclination angle leads to a fall of the user.

From below, along the length, the platform 1 includes a groove 3. The groove 3 preferably runs along the entire length of the platform 1. The groove 3 is designed to interact with the support ball 4, which acts as a loose (movable) support in the device. The support ball 4 must interact with the surfaces of the groove 3. Preferably, the groove 3, in terms of (see the section in Fig. 3), is made in the form of a sector of the support ball 4, repeating its contour, which will provide a sufficient area for the support ball 4 to rest on the walls of the groove 3 and its easy movement during training exercises.

The support ball 4 is movable along the groove 3 relative to the support surface of the simulator installation. The support ball 4 provides free movement of the platform 1 in various directions, its deviation (tilts) forward-backward, movement left-right, deviation left-right, and combinations thereof. The support ball 4 can be made of various materials such as plastic, wood, rubber, etc.

The device works as follows.

The trainer is installed on a flat surface. The support ball 4 is installed in the groove 3 in the center of the platform 1.

The user stands with both feet on platform 1, turns his shoulders along platform 1 and tries to maintain balance.

Further, depending on the skills, the task, the trained muscle group, the user performs exercises that include tilting in different directions on the support ball 4 relative to the platform 1 of the simulator, moving the platform 1 along the groove 3 along the support ball 4, as well as balancing the body on the simulator in any of the above exercises.

After completing the workout, the user removes their feet from pad 1 or simply jumps off pad 1.
