Description

The invention relates to sports training aids, and more particularly, to simulators for playing with a ball, preferably for football.

State of the art

Various devices are known in the art. Let's consider some of them.

RU, patent for ПМ No. 136354 SIMULATOR FOR TRAINING ACCURACY OF ACKNOWLEDGES AND THROWERS OF ATHLETES BY DOORS The training area is limited by the size of the goal, which does not allow to train shots in different zones, the accuracy of hits can be estimated more than 100%, it is impossible to conduct training in automatic mode.

RU, patent for IZ No. 2570497 TRAINING SIMULATOR the disadvantage is the limited area for strikes, equal to the area of the goal, electromechanical contacts are used, which reduce the reliability of the device as a whole.

RU, patent for IZ No. 2166976 SIMULATOR FOR FOOTBALL PLAYERS - a mechanical simulator, the ball is hit by rotating the bar attached to the motor shaft. Range and altitude are set by changing the angle of inclination of the surface on which the ball lies. Disadvantages: it is impossible to set the flight path of the ball with high accuracy

The closest analogues of the invention include:

• A ball court containing a ball-throwing installation and detectors for detecting ball movement in accordance with European Patent EP 2358449.

• A device for training ball players in accordance with US Pat. No. 8,979,548.

The disadvantages of analogues is the following:

- target cells are not divided into zones, which does not allow to evaluate the accuracy of the hit;

- each cell has its own computing module, which increases the cost of the device and complicates management and maintenance;

- It is proposed to place target gates only from 3 sides of the playing field. This makes it difficult to practice situations in which the ball may be served from behind the player.

The closest set of essential features to the proposed technical solution is the "Installation for training, matches and competitions in sports with the ball" according to patent EP 2358449, selected as a prototype.

The known installation is a playground (1), limited by a fence (2) and including at least one cannon for throwing a ball (3) for its introduction into the game, for which purpose it is provided in the fence (2) or at its level holes (5) and / or detectors (6) for registering a ball moving (launched) from a player’s blow, and data regarding the ball thrown and the result of the player’s shot are processed by a computer and stored. Moreover, the known installation consists of several installations interconnected, preferably by a central computer. The playground (1) has a rectangular, preferably square, shape. Ball throwing guns (3) are located in the center of each side and / or in the corners. The throwing position of the ball (4) may be modified. Guns for throwing the ball (3) are integrated (built-in) into the fence (2) or correspond to the fence (2), and the fact that the ball can be introduced into the game by the gun for throwing the ball at an angle defined / selected in advance and with a throwing force defined / selected in advance, and / or by the fact that the ball can be introduced into the game by a cannon to throw the ball, depending on the game situation, which can be determined / selected in advance.

The disadvantages of the prototype are:

- training on a known device is significantly different from real game situations, since the target goal does not match the design of the standard goal used in a particular sport, so it’s impossible to train a hit on the target with a rebound from the bar,

- there is no interference on the playground (in a real game, this is their own and other players),

- there are no devices forcing players to move around the playing court to practice ball possession skills in motion

- it is impossible to practice blows by a canopy,

- the target area where you want to hit the ball is stationary, and in a real game, the movements of the goalkeeper or players are forced to change the point of impact

- there is no need to solve cognitive tasks related to the game situation

- it is impossible to serve the balls along the flat path

All of the above reduces the value of training on the simulator compared to real training and makes it difficult to transfer the skills acquired on the simulator to a real game.

Thus, the technical problem that exists at the moment is the problem of creating conditions for training on the simulator as close as possible to the conditions of real games. It is to solve this technical problem that the creation of the invention is directed. The proposed installation allows you to test and train both the integrated skill of playing with the ball, and individual skills, and their combinations.

At the same time, the installation using additional devices located on the playing field allows you to bring the training on it closer to the real game. Such devices are:

- ball release initiation devices located in arbitrary places on the court, forcing players to move;

- devices for receiving the ball when struck by a canopy, located in the corners of the court;

- goal gate, placed in front of the goal gate for practicing ricochets;

- an additional cannon for balls, located above the cannon mounted on the field, for flat passes;

- reflectors (rebounders) located on the playing field and imitating players;

- Interactive screens for presenting cognitive tasks.

The simultaneous or sequential use of these devices allows you to get as close as possible to a real game situation and transfer the acquired skills to a real game.

The technical result is to increase the efficiency of training due to high motivation and creating conditions that are closest to a real game.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the installation for training in various sports with the ball of at least one player, including a playground, limited by the fence, at least one gun for throwing the ball to enter the game at any angle, selected in advance, and in front of the fence, target gates are installed, in which holes and / or detectors are provided for registering the ball launched by a player’s kick, behind the target gates there is a ball speed damping device and a tray for collecting ora of balls, moreover, data regarding the ball thrown and the result of a player’s shot are processed by the control device and stored,

Additionally includes:

- sound and light signaling devices installed above the cannon for throwing the ball to inform the player about which gun should work,

- at least one device for initiating the ejection of the ball by a gun, equipped with a light and sound alarm, with which the player himself can choose a gun to throw the ball,

- at least one additional device for catching the ball with a variable or fixed height and angle of inclination, installed in the corner of the court and equipped with sound, light signaling devices and ball passage sensors, designed to train canopy hits,

- goal gates, which are smaller or standard in width and standard in height, used in the sport in which this training is conducted and placed in front of the goal gates with shock sensors, sound and light alarms installed on them,

- moreover, all sensors, alarms, mechanical and electronic devices are connected to the control device of the simulator wireless or wired communication.

Additional differences are:

- the installation includes at least one rebounder (reflector) of arbitrary shape and size, which allows to execute protocols for sending the ball to the goal, reducing the time for reaching the strike position, and equipped with hit sensors, a wireless or wire communication unit with a control device and a light signaling unit;

- the installation contains a system for determining the location of players and the ball on the playing court;

- as a system for determining the location of players and the ball on the playing field, a local positioning system is used, while positioning sensors are placed on athletes and balls;

- as a system for determining the location of players and the ball on the playing court, a camera is used to track the position of the ball and / or players optically in the visible, IR or UV range;

The principle of operation of the installation

The installation is a game simulator for playing soccer and other sports with the ball, allowing you to test and train both the integrated soccer game skill and individual skills, and their combinations under the control of the control device 24. The installation contains a playground 1, limited by a fence 2. The results of testing and training are accumulated in database 28 for further analysis and other uses. The fundamental difference from other known ones is the presence of the transfer of acquired skills into a game on the field. This is achieved by the following devices:

- control devices 24 with programs for processing results;

- reflectors (rebounders) 9, creating interference (imitating players) on the site as in a real game, allowing to acquire and train the skill of transmitting and receiving a pass, to hit the target with a rebound from the reflector;

- devices for catching balls (barrels) 5, allowing to work out mounted strikes, acquire and train the skill of switching between types of strokes

- free-standing goal lines 11 in front of the target goal, allowing you to practice the skill of ricocheting into the goal;

- systems for presenting tasks simulating real game situations;

- Interactive screens 6 for solving cognitive tasks during training and displaying the results of training to increase motivation:

- sound and light signaling devices 7 above the guns for the development of peripheral sports vision, integrated into the process of receiving the ball;

- automatic ball collector 26, allowing training of any duration without interruption;

Consider the individual technical solutions used in the simulator and working together using a control device.

The identification unit 27 is a reader of RFID tags that are available for each athlete. In the absence of such a mark, it is possible to manually register the athlete for training.

The gun for throwing the ball 3, is equipped with a control unit 25 and a system for changing the vertical angle of the ball, speed and spin of the ball. The gun 3 can be installed both in an arbitrary place and in the interval between the gates and is used to throw the ball 13 along the path 14 for the subsequent processing of the ball by the athlete 12 in accordance with the issued task.

The light and sound signaling device 7 above the gun indicates to the athlete 12 which particular gun will fire.

Interactive screen 6 - informs the athlete about the progress of the training and allows you to issue cognitive tasks that are solved in the process of training other skills. The ability to make decisions and make logical decisions while performing specific football actions is the basis of the game.

The devices 10 for initiating the ejection of the ball by the gun 3 have a light, sound alarm and a sensor with which the athlete 12 can himself enter any of the guns 3 into the game, and are installed in arbitrary places on the court 1 in order to force the athlete to leave the ball receiving area 13 from the gun 3 , in order to learn to take the ball on the run, handle it in motion. The ball release initiation device 10 consists of a light signaling device, a separately activated audio signaling device and a sensor located on the floor at an arbitrary point on the court 1.

Ball catching devices 5 (barrels) mounted in corners. Designed for training canopy hits. They are used both in training protocols for hitting a canopy and in protocols of skill switching between a direct shot on target, a low pass on target, a rebound hit from the post (see below) and a rebound hit on target from the rebounder (reflector) (see below ) Ball catching devices (barrels) 5 are equipped with light signaling devices, by means of which the task of getting the ball into the barrel is indicated. Also in barrel 5 hit sensors are installed that transmit data on the success or failure of a barrel to the control device. Also, the barrel can be mounted on a movable drive, providing a change in the angle of position and / or height of the barrel, and hence the angle of the canopy. Changes occur according to the program embedded in the control device.

The task of the athlete 12 is to send the ball into the goal or into the barrel. The goal gate 11 is made of a metal profile identical to the goal profile at the request of the international association of football or other sports or from another profile. In one plane, 1 or 2 target alignment is installed. The gate gate is interactive, equipped with a light signaling device 19 and a shock sensor 18 (see Fig. 5). The light signaling device 19 can be installed on one of the 3 surfaces of the profile of the target line.

The task of the athlete 12 is to get a rebound from the bar into the goal net 11. The fact of the hit and the zone of getting into the given profile is recorded by taking information from the hit sensors installed in the profiles. The hit on target 11 is determined by one of the ball position determination systems available in the device (see below). Inside the gateway 11 there is a task presentation system at a distance of at least 10 cm, for implementing protocols for hitting the presented optical target, using or not using a rebound from the boom: (the system can be delivered in different configurations according to the customer’s choice.

One of the indicated task presentation systems is used, two or more at the same time

but. An optical problem is presented by projecting a visual picture (moving or static) onto a screen for projection 20

b. The optical problem is presented by using flexible LED emitters mounted both on a solid surface and on a surface consisting of segments in arbitrary shape.

at. The holographic projection inside the gate alignment allows you to realistically simulate the presence of a volumetric task, such as a goalkeeper. The voluminous task allows you to train a non-linear ball.

d. Spatial structure, divided into cells, which are equipped with light annunciators

To determine the position of the ball in the installation, one of the following systems can be used:

but. local positioning system - allows you to determine the position of the ball in 3D space, with the aim of:

- analysis of the handling of the ball by the athlete

- determining the trajectory of the ball 15 and its correspondence to the trajectory issued by the simulation task

- determination of the ball falling into the zone of the presented goal or game task

b. Infrared curtain (light grille) - allows you to determine the hit of the ball at a specific point in the goal line 11. It is used in user-configured simulation protocols. The infrared curtain (light array) consists of a block of emitter 31 generating a beam of parallel infrared rays 33 in one plane with a given step and a block of receiver 32 receiving these rays 33. When using 2 mutually perpendicular blocks of emitters 31 and receivers 32 located in one plane, it is possible to determine the position of an object (ball) crossing this plane relative to the receiver blocks (Fig. 10).

at. 3D optical space scanner - allows you to analyze the flight of the ball starting from the frontal plane of the goal line 11 and further inside the volume of the goal line. That allows you to analyze the flight of the ball in protocols with a rebound from the bar or when analyzing the spin of the ball. The analysis of strokes with a variable ball trajectory is also used in protocols with a hologram

To the floor in a specific or arbitrary order, reflectors 9 of arbitrary shape and size can be mounted for rebounding the ball (rebounders). This allows you to execute protocols for sending the ball into the target, reducing the time it takes to reach the strike position. What allows you to develop:

- logical operational and situational thinking on finding the fastest and most effective path of the ball into the goal;

- training the skill of calculating an effective pass when the rebounder in the acquired skill is perceived as a player taking the pass. Thus, the player acquires the skill of calculating the effective trajectory after passing the pass, which allows one to calculate the efficiency of the pass with an estimate of the probability of the pass being hit by a shot on target.

The rebounders 9 are equipped with a ball hit sensor and a light alarm, which allows implementing the goal shot protocols only through the rebound from the rebounder.

Determining the position of the player on the field is carried out by the local positioning system. The determination of the position of the player can be carried out at any time, for:

- implementation of interactive protocols that issue a task on the device depending on the position of the player;

- quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of the tasks presented on the device;

- assessment of the processing efficiency of the ball by comparing the position in space of the ball and the athlete.

- assessment of individual effectiveness in pair training with another athlete

In one embodiment of the installation, the target for the ball consists of a goal line 11 with dimensions that are smaller or standard in width and standard in height, corresponding to standard football goals. An impact sensor 18 is installed on the target range 11, which allows you to record the hit of the ball in the post. Behind the gates, at some distance, additional target gates 4, equipped with an upper fence 16, or a screen for projection 20 can be installed. Additional gates - targets 4 are used only to create a target by turning on the backlight 17 of the desired cell. The player’s task is to get into the given goal cell - target 4, within a given time, using the rebound from the goal bar 11 or without using the rebound.

To indicate the cell to which you want to send the ball, the cell is highlighted around the perimeter. The backlight 17 may consist of LEDs, fluorescent lamps or other sources of visible light. Different colors are used depending on the state of the cell:

- green, the ball must be sent to this cell, the exercise time has not ended;

- yellow, less than 2 seconds are left until the end of the exercise;

- red, the exercise time has expired or the player sent the ball to another cell.

The control signal is supplied from the installation control device. In the case of using additional goal gates 4, a device is installed behind them for damping the speed of the ball. After falling into the speed damping device located behind the additional goal gate 4, the ball falls into a special ball collecting tray 8. If the device is equipped with an automatic ball collector 26 (automatic ball collecting and loading system), the balls are fed to the guns for production the next shot. If there is no such system, then the balls accumulate in tray 8, from where they are manually removed and loaded into the cannon.

Depending on the training task, there may be several cell assignment algorithms.

1. Static cell. In this case, a cell is randomly assigned and the player’s task is to send the ball to this cell.

2. Dynamic cell. In this case, the cell originally shown to the player can be replaced by another according to the specified algorithm and the player must send the ball to another cell.

3. Multiple cell. In this case, several cells can be selected at once, where the ball can be sent, and as time passes, the number of cells allowed to hit decreases to 1.

The algorithm for highlighting cells in all cases is the same.

In another embodiment, the target consists of an alignment of the gate 11 with an impact sensor 18, a light signaling device 19 and a screen for projection 20 located behind them. The light signaling devices 19 on the goal serve to inform the player which gate the ball should be sent to. Depending on the training task, the player sends the ball directly to the target displayed on the screen for projections 20 in the form of projection 21, or directs the target using the rebound from the bar.

The shock sensor 18 transmits to the control device information about the ball getting into the bar.

The screen for projection 20 is located behind the gate 11 at a certain distance and performs the following functions:

- ball damping

- display projection of target zones

One or more projectors for projecting tasks can be located in front of or behind the screen. Figure 9 shows the location of the projector 30, mounted on the ceiling 29 in front of the screen for projection 20. A camera for capturing the movement of the ball is always located in front of the screen for projection 20. Based on the data from this camera, the location on the target where the ball hit is determined.

Target zones can be displayed using different algorithms.

- display of static zones of the same or different size

- display of dynamically changing target zones; the sizes, shape and / or location of zones can change

- To increase the realism of the training, a moving projection of the goalkeeper silhouette may be displayed. The goalkeeper projection can move inside the goal according to a given algorithm, change the position, etc. To simulate the goalkeeper running towards the athlete, the projection of the goalkeeper's figure can change size.

In another modification, instead of the projection screen, a flexible LED screen can withstand the impact of the ball and can be equipped with shock sensors or used without them. In this case, the targets are displayed on the surface of the screen and can be of any shape. The hit of the ball on the screen is recorded by impact sensors or otherwise.

The goal can also be used with goals that are smaller or standard in width and standard in height, corresponding to standard football goals with a shock sensor, light signaling and a grid - ball dampener 23. Targets in this design are created using a holographic projection in holographic projection zone 22. The advantage of this implementation is the high realism of training.

The positive effect of the invention is that:

- classes on the device are as close as possible to a real game situation

- allows you to practice skills inaccessible for practicing on similar devices

- develops game thinking

- improves reaction speed and accuracy of player passes

- if there is a player positioning system, it allows for pair training with an assessment of the individual effectiveness of each player

- the device allows not only to form and develop skills for receiving and passing the ball, but also through integrated working protocols to facilitate their quick integration into the real game situation

- the set of tools that are part of the device allows, in addition to working with the ball, to provide the athlete with additional incentives (light, sound), in response to which the athlete must perform certain motor tasks, interacting with interactive sensors to train switching speed, dynamism and stability of attention, speed and perception, responsiveness, and skill variation.
