Description

The invention relates to specialized simulators for training beginner athletes, alpine skiers and slalomists, training and honing skiing skills, maintaining sports shape in gyms during off-season periods, as well as for general physical training.

Alpine skiing, downhill skiing, freestyle skiing and other sports associated with skiing from a hill are associated with a high risk of injury and damage, and it is better for an unprepared person to first get comfortable in the gym/at home, practicing certain exercises, training to maintain balance , using a specific muscle group.

Known from RU 179652 U1, 05/21/2018, a ski simulator containing a base with an axis of rotation, on which a rotation disk is fixed by means of a separator bearing; on the rotation disk, through the axis of rotation, a stop made in the form of slats is installed sequentially, crosswise and perpendicular to each other with holes, the function of which is to fix and adjust the position of the leg cradles using clamps, and a support made in the form of a bar, along the edges of which weighting disks are fixed through axial clamps to adjust the load on the trained muscle groups, while the base is made in the form of a vertical stand with a horizontal support element, and the leg trays are fixed to the stop with the possibility of rotation in the horizontal plane, and handles are fixed to the top of the vertical stand.

The disadvantage of the known simulator is the lack of movements/tilts in the vertical and horizontal planes, the inability to regulate the load and train coordination.

As the closest analogue, the solution chosen belongs to the applicant RU 2786051 C1, 12/16/2022, revealing a ski simulator containing a hollow base made in the form of a closed vertical wall, inside which a support is installed,

the working platform, located above the hollow base, includes a cardan joint on its lower surface, which is also mounted in a mating part to the specified support,

An adjustable counterweight, made in the form of a rod and a load, is installed on the surface of the working platform to ensure adjustment of the weight of the load and its placement.

The disadvantage of the known simulator is the lack of rotation of the foot during training, the inability to configure the simulator for a specific ski position for training various exercises, and the complexity of the design, since the cardan joint requires constant maintenance.

The objective of the proposed invention is to eliminate these disadvantages.

The technical result is to expand the range of exercises on the simulator, as close as possible to real conditions with a simple design.

This result is ensured by the fact that the ski simulator contains a horizontally oriented platform, on the lower part of which there are three ribs with a rounded profile on their outer side, ensuring the platform tilts left/right relative to the horizon, while the front rib located at the edge of the platform has a lower height, ensuring tilting the platform forward to the working position,

the platform also includes a plurality of mounting holes, as well as two supports, each of which at the bottom includes two pins configured to interact with said mounting holes to lock the supports in various positions,

Moreover, along its length, each of the supports contains a groove with a semicircular cross-section, in each of which a platform is installed with a lower protrusion with a semicircular cross-section corresponding to the groove for sliding deviation of the platforms from the horizontal.

The platforms have an anti-slip coating on top.

The platforms are made spring-loaded relative to the supports.

The platform additionally includes balancing weights on its lower side.

We will consider the detailed design of the device taking into account the attached drawings, where

Fig. 2 - bottom view of the ski simulator;

Fig. 3 - side view of the ski simulator;

Where, position:

1 - platform;

2 - ribs;

3 - installation holes;

4 - support;

7 - platform;

8 - lower protrusion;

The ski simulator contains a horizontally oriented platform 1, made of durable and rigid material, for example, metal, plywood, impact-resistant plastic, MDF/chipboard, etc. Platform 1 can have a different shape, for example, rectangular, round, oval, or as shown in the figures in the form of an isosceles trapezoid with rounded edges, preventing damage when falling from the exercise machine.

On the lower part of the horizontally oriented platform 1 there are three ribs 2 with a rounded profile along their outer side. The ribs 2 provide the ability to deflect the platform 1 from the horizontal to the left to the right, ensuring balancing in various deflection positions. The front rib 2 located at the edge of the platform 1 has a lower height, allowing the platform 1 to tilt forward into the working position. When the platform 1 (and, accordingly, the human body) is tilted forward onto the front edge 2 with a lower height, deviations from the horizontal to the left and right are carried out with appropriate balancing, which expands the range of the training process when using the simulator.

Platform 1 on its lower side can also additionally include balancing weights (not indicated in the figure) to increase the load on a certain part of it, to adjust the complexity and load on a certain muscle group. Balancing weights can be detachably fixed in certain places of the platform through screw pins or baskets for installing weights or by another fastening option, which expands the range of exercises performed on the simulator.

The platform 1 also includes a plurality of mounting holes 3. The mounting holes 3 are generally made round, which makes it easier to install mating elements (pins 5) therein.

The simulator also includes two supports 4, each of which contains two pins 5 at the bottom, interacting with the mentioned mounting holes 3 for fixing the supports 4 in different positions on the platform 1. The mounting holes 3 are necessary so that each support 4 can be fixed at least 2 times. 3 positions to simulate different ski angles. The number of installation holes 3 can be different and is set in accordance with the expected number of installation positions (following the example in Fig. 5) of the supports 4, where for each installation position of one support 4 two holes 3 are needed.

The supports 4 are made in the form of blocks, fixed to the platform 1 through the mounting holes 3 by means of pins 5. Along its length, each of the supports 4 contains a groove 6 with a semicircular cross-section. In each of the grooves 6 of the support 4 there is a platform 7 containing a lower protrusion 8 with a semicircular cross-section mating with the corresponding groove 6 for sliding deviation of the platforms 7 from the horizontal during training. The pads 7 have an anti-slip coating on top, for example made of rubber, caoutchouc and other materials that reduce the possibility of feet slipping during training.

Alternatively, the platforms 7 can be made spring-loaded relative to the supports 4, for example, along two long sides. Making the platforms 7 spring-loaded makes their movement smooth and also increases the load depending on the force created by the spring used when pressing with the feet on the platforms 7.

The device works as follows.

The ski simulator is installed on a flat base on two ribs 2 with a greater height.

The supports 4 are installed in the mounting holes 3 by means of pins 5 at a certain angle depending on the given exercise.

The training user stands on platforms 7 installed in supports 4.

The user tilts the body forward, thereby tilting the platform 1 onto the front edge 2 with a lower height (into the working position) and performs exercises with tilting the platform 1 left and right relative to the horizon and balancing it at specified points of deviation, depending on the task at hand in training,

Also, during the training process, the user acts on the platforms 7 and additionally deflects the platforms 7 relative to the supports 4 through the sliding interaction of the groove 6 and the lower protrusion 8.

After completing the training, the user straightens the body and returns platform 1 to ribs 2 with a higher height and then leaves platforms 7 or simply jumps off platforms 7 and platform 1.
