Description

 The invention relates to sports simulators and is intended to improve body control in cyclists.

 Known devices for training cyclists with load devices that allow you to simulate various natural conditions of the route, such as climbing uphill, descending from a mountain, moving on horizontal terrain (a.s. USSR 1147420, MKI A 63 B 69/16; a.s. USSR 1180023, MKI A 63 B 69/16: A.S. USSR 1547833, MKI A 63 B 69/16). However, the known devices are not effective for practicing certain riding techniques and improving the control of the cyclist’s body during training to prepare athletes for Mautenbike competitions.

 A device for training cyclists according to the patent of the Russian Federation 2107531, MKI A 63 B 69/16, designed to improve control of the body of a cyclist while simulating an unstable position of a bicycle. However, the known device is effective only at the initial stage of training athletes, as it imitates the unstable position of the bicycle only partially due to the fact that the bicycle itself without a front wheel is installed by means of a rigid fastening of the front wheel fork.

 A device for training cyclists according to patent 2127624, MKI A 63 B 69/16, designed to improve control of the body of a cyclist when learning the technique of jumping on a bicycle. However, the known device is effective only at the initial stage of training athletes participating in Mautenbike competitions, as it allows to improve the technique of controlling the body of a cyclist when performing bike jumps only partially, since in real conditions the jump is carried out with landing on a section of the track, which also has a difficult terrain .

 The closest in combination of essential features is a device for training cyclists according to patent 2142838, MKI A 63 B 69/16 (prototype), including a treadmill in the form of an endless belt consisting of at least two sections between which an obstacle simulator is placed, a control panel and a power tool for mounting a bicycle on a track made in the form of a traverse with vertical plumb lines for fastening to a bicycle frame mounted for movement. The known device allows you to organize the training process of preparing athletes for Mautenbike competitions, as it allows you to simulate the movements of the body of a cyclist in a jump with a bicycle, including the phase of flight through an obstacle and landing on another site. However, the known device does not allow simulating the movements of the cyclist’s body after a perfect jump, that is, landing in an unstable position of the bicycle immediately after landing, as well as to improve the technique of passing at high speeds the complex sections of the mountain track under conditions of shaking, wheel use, gauge, rutting, skidding of wheels, etc., including the passage of complex technical sections immediately after a perfect jump.

 The proposed device for training cyclists allows us to solve the problem of increasing the effectiveness of training athletes in preparing them for Mautenbike competitions, including down-hill and cross-country.

 To this end, a device for training cyclists containing a track in the form of an endless track of a trackbann, means for changing the terrain of the track, made in the form of an obstacle simulator, a control panel and power-driven means for mounting the bicycle on the track by means of vertical plummets mounted for movement along the track, is additionally provided means for creating a load, made in the form of two platforms with kinematically connected to each other support rollers for EU bicycle, while one of the platforms is mounted on supports made in the form of pneumatic cylinders, each of which is electrically connected to the control panel, and the other contains rollers for bicycle wheels, at least one of which is made with sections of variable cross section formed by a shaped profile . The shaped profile is formed by performing on the surface of the roller either annular recesses, or ridge protrusions, or uneven protrusions. In addition, on the surface of at least one roller with a variable cross-section, sections with different elastic surfaces can be made. Sections with a variable cross-section or with elastic surfaces can be performed either on one (lead) roller, or on two, or on three (lead and driven) rollers. Combinations of shaped sections of sections on the driving and driven rollers allow you to simulate the passage of a bicycle along a specific profile of a complex technical route. The platforms can be placed stepwise one after another along the movement of the cyclist and contain stopping devices at the ends. The obstacle simulator can be made movable on a trolley, the drive of which is electrically connected to the control panel, and the device can be additionally equipped with a simulator of a bicycle moving in front, made in the form of a wheel extended onto a treadmill.

 Figure 1 shows a device for training cyclists, side view, in fig. 2 is the same front view, FIG. 3 is a view of rollers with sections on the surface of which various recesses and protrusions are made.

 The device comprises a track 1, made in the form of a running tape of a trackbann 2, the drive of which is electrically connected to the control panel 3, an obstacle simulator 4 mounted on a trolley with the ability to move above the surface of the track, the drive of which is electrically connected to the control panel. The means of installing the bike on the track is made in the form of a traverse 5, equipped with vertical plumb lines 6, which is mounted on the undercarriage 7, mounted for movement on the monorail 8, mounted on the upper horizontal support. The undercarriage is equipped with a drive 9, electrically connected to the control panel by sensors (not shown), placed on the support roller 10 for the rear wheel of the bicycle. The device can be equipped with a simulator of a bicycle moving in front, made in the form of a wheel 11. The device is equipped with means for creating a load, made in the form of two platforms 12 and 13 with kinematically connected to each other rollers 14 and 15 for bicycle wheels. The platforms are installed in the direction of the cyclist in steps. Moreover, the platform 12 is mounted by hinges on the supports 16, made in the form of pneumatic cylinders, each of which is electrically connected to the control panel 3, equipped with a stopping device 17 and placed under the monorail on which the running carriage 7 is installed, and the platform 13 is equipped with a stopping device 18 and contains rollers 15, at least one of which, for example for the front wheel, is made with sections of variable cross section formed by a curved profile, and / or with sections whose surface is made of y rugogo material (3 - dark background portions). To ensure reliable insurance, a safety belt 18 is provided.

 The device is used as follows. Training is carried out using a bicycle on which the athlete participates in competitions. The bicycle is mounted on a treadmill 1 by means of vertical plumb lines 6 of the bicycle mounting means. Cyclist imitates riding on a flat track. In this section, riding in a group race with grinding wheels can be simulated, which is provided by the extension of wheel 11, then the wheel is removed, the athlete continues to pedal, visually evaluating the obstacle simulator installed in front 4. At some point, the cyclist makes movements of the initial moment of jumping with the bicycle, in which through the control panel, the drive of the obstacle simulator 4 is turned on and at the same time the sensor 10 is activated, which includes the drive 9 of the undercarriage 7. In this case, the athlete makes a jump with a phase of summer through an impeding obstacle 4 with landing on the treadmill and hitting the platform stopping device 17 of platform 12, where the athlete quickly removes from the bicycle frame the fastening elements of vertical plumb lines 6, which the coach retracts back to the starting position. An athlete with a bicycle jumps onto the skating rinks 14 and, while continuing to pedal, simulates riding on the highway, and the trainer from the control panel tilts the platform 12 by changing the height of the supports 16, made in the form of pneumatic cylinders. In this case, by rapidly changing the pneumatics in all the supports, the instability of the bicycle is simulated, for example, on a wet track in rainy weather, and the cyclist makes balancing movements with his body, sitting on the saddle or pedaling while standing. By changing the slopes of the platform forward, backward, to the right or to the left, an imitation of driving uphill, descent from the mountain, bends to the right and bends to the left is performed. The steepness of a bend or descent-ascent is simulated by changing the angle of the platform, and they can be set from the control panel of the training program. After practicing the techniques of movements on the platform 12, the athlete with the bicycle jumps to the platform 18 of the stopping device of the platform 13, then runs onto the rollers 15, jumping the bicycle wheels to various sections with a variable profile. At the same time, driving over rough terrain with shaking, in a rut, with a front wheel or with a rear wheel, simulates arable land or marshy soil, etc.

 Thus, using the proposed device for training cyclists, it is possible to effectively train athletes in preparation for a Mautenbike competition, including down-hill and cross-country, as it allows you to simulate many real conditions of a mountain track with obstacles and simulation conditions movements during the passage of complex technical sections, thereby achieving the emotional load of the training process. This allows you to provide not only the physical training of cyclists, but also psychological training, including overcoming a sense of fear when passing complex technical sections at high speeds, jumping a bicycle, descending a turn, jumping over obstacles with a landing near a perfect jump with a flight phase. Moreover, in the process of the entire training process, the complete safety of the entire training process is ensured.

 The inclusion of exercises simulated by the proposed device in the content of training cyclists will significantly increase the effectiveness of the training process.

 The proposed device for training cyclists has a technological design and can be installed on any bicycle base, thereby ensuring year-round training of athletes regardless of climatic and weather conditions.
