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 impossibility of training forward and backward tilts relative to body positioning and balancing in the corresponding inclined positions, with the complexity of the device design.

The closest in technical essence is the solution RU 2311214 C1, 11/27/2007, which discloses a balancer simulator containing a body made in the form of a concave structure with placed along the edges, mainly at a shoulder-width distance from each other, at least two support platforms for stop, while the body is made in the form of an elliptical ring when viewed from above, in the form of a concave arc - in the front view and in the form of a convex arc when viewed from the side, while the supporting platforms for the feet are mounted with the possibility of rotation and inclination of each relative to the vertical axis and are equipped with limiters the angle of inclination and fixation of the support platforms relative to the initially set horizontal position.

The disadvantage of the known solution is also the impossibility of training forward and backward tilts relative to the body setting and balancing in the corresponding inclined positions, uneven load distribution in inclined positions, with the complexity of the device design.

The basis of this utility model is the task of developing a design of a simulator that eliminates the indicated disadvantages of known devices.

The technical result is to expand the range of exercises on a simulator that imitates a sports board (snowboard, surf, etc.), based on forward and backward tilts relative to body setting and balancing in appropriate inclined positions, with uniform load distribution and simplicity of device design.

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 an oblong board, supports made in the form of a ring sector are installed on both sides from the bottom along the edges of the platform, while the supports are made with the possibility of adjusting their lowering height/ lift.

The platform has an anti-slip coating on top.

The supports include a side ledge.

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

in fig. 1 is a general front view of the device;

in fig. 2 - top view,

in fig. 3 is a side view of the device, where

1 - platform;

2 - support;

The simulator for training balance and coordination of movements includes a platform 1, made in the form of an oblong board. The shape of the platform 1 is preferably rectangular with rounded edges in order to simplify the use of the simulator by a person and minimize the possibility of injury, as well as uniform distribution of the load. Alternatively, the platform 1 may have extended areas in the places where the legs are placed, along the edges of its long side. 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 topped with an anti-slip coating, such as a layer of anti-slip rubber with an embossed 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.

Supports 2 are installed on both sides from below along the edges of the platform 1. Supports 2 are made in the form of a ring sector and preferably include a side protrusion made either in one piece with support 2, or supports 2 can be made detachably with a side protrusion, for example, by connecting a pin - hole, screw connection, protrusion-groove and other types of connection, which allows them to be changed in case of damage or in case of installation of support 2 with other characteristics (different rounding radius, different size of the ring sector, different thickness of support 2, etc.), which increases the rigidity of supports 2 and adds variety (expands the range of exercises) to the training process and adjusts the complexity of performing exercises, depending on the user's skills, because the smaller the radius of rounding of the sector of the support 2 ring, the more difficult it is to balance on such a simulator and perform deviations. Support ring sector 2 ensures uniform distribution of the load on a person, since it is smoothly rounded along a given annular radius.

Supports 2 are preferably made with the possibility of adjusting their height of lowering/raising. The height adjustment of the lowering/raising of the supports 2 can be carried out by different execution of the supports 2, for example, by installing spacers of different heights between the platform 1 and each support 2, adjusting their mounting height or otherwise. Preferably, the adjustment of the height of the support 2 is carried out by means of screw pushers (not indicated in the figure) placed in the supports 2, allowing you to adjust the installation height of the supports 2 by turning the screw (like adjusting furniture hinges). Adjusting the height of the supports 2 sets the initial height of the platform 1, the angle of its possible deviation, for greater variety and complexity of performing exercises on the simulator. Supports 2 are made of material resistant to loads, such as metal rod, fiberglass, wood and other materials.

The proposed device simulates situations when using a board-based sports equipment, such as a snowboard, where the user leans and maintains balance, such as avoiding obstacles on a snowboard, turning, braking, etc.

The device works as follows.

The trainer is installed on a flat surface.

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 set, the trained muscle group, the user performs exercises that include forward and backward tilts on the site 1 along the supports 2, as well as balancing the body on the simulator in a given deflection position.

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

Example 1

the simulator for training balance and coordination of movements includes a platform 1, made in the form of an oblong plywood board, while the platform has an anti-slip rubber coating on top.

on both sides from below along the edges of the platform 1, supports 2 are installed, made in the form of a sector of the ring.

Example 2

a simulator for training balance and coordination of movements includes a platform 1 made in the form of an oblong board made of impact-resistant plastic with an anti-slip coating,

on both sides from the bottom along the edges of the platform 1, supports 2 are installed, made in the form of a sector of the ring with a detachable side protrusion,

at the same time, the supports 2 are made with the possibility of adjusting their lowering/raising height.

The proposed utility model provides an extension of the range of exercises on a simulator that imitates a sports board (snowboard, surf, etc.), based on forward and backward tilts relative to body positioning and balancing in appropriate inclined positions, with uniform load distribution and simplicity of device design.
