Description

The invention relates to a training device containing a production plate for a training person, wherein the production plate is connected to the base plate, and at least one acceleration sensor and / or one inclination sensor is connected to the production plate, and to the acceleration sensor and / or the tilt sensor is provided with the ability to connect a data line, while the power supply of the acceleration sensor and / or tilt sensor is provided using a data line, and preferably o an adjustable damping element for damping the rotation movement of the setting plate, and preferably an adjustable return element is provided for returning the setting plate to its nominal position.

Known balance simulators contain a swinging board for the subject. Based on the observation of the performance of some exercises on a swinging board, the subject is evaluated and an appropriate training program is drawn up. The disadvantage is that the assessment is subjective, and can only be conditionally repeated or verified by the subject. In addition, with the help of such a swinging board, it is difficult to perform the prescribed exercises, since it is hardly possible for the trainee to verify the success of his training, especially during the training. In addition, one cannot purposefully perform dynamic exercises, such as swinging within specified ranges, since they are not controlled by the test subject. Besides

Moreover, the disadvantage is that for the success of the training it is important that the exercises are fun and interesting and encourage the test subject to perform the exercise, because otherwise he often only fulfills his compulsory program.

US 5,919,150 A describes a dynamic system for determining the physical instability of a person, while an unstable platform is provided in itself, which in the first embodiment is formed by a segment of the ball, as a setting plate for the subject. In the setting plate are tilt meters that deliver a signal to the computer. The computer controls the screen on which the target and cursor are displayed, which is rearranged with the help of the production plate.

From EP 0862930 A a training and rehabilitation device with a tilting (swinging) setting plate is known, while the setting plate in the first embodiment is made in the form of a platform swinging around one axis, which is connected, in particular, to the base plate. In the second embodiment, a setting plate is provided which is adjacent to the base plate at a single point. Two systems are provided for measuring the inclination of the production plate, namely, the first system, which operates with a potentiometer, in which the resistance varies depending on the angle of inclination, and the second system, which operates non-contact using lasers. For data processing, a microprocessor unit is provided, which is connected to a computer using the RS-232 serial interface.

No. 5,613,690 A describes a training balance system that has a production plate that rests on a base plate, it being provided that the base plate or production plate has a convex surface and the other plate has a corresponding opposite surface. Sensors are provided for measuring the angular shift of the setting plate, and springs or dampers can be provided to limit the possibility of movement of the setting plate.

US 6,543,769 describes a snowboard or skateboard simulator, with a board provided with a partially spherical rear support and a ball-shaped front support. At least one sensor is provided for measuring the rotation of the rear support. However, other sensors may be provided for measuring the inclination of the front support.

US 5360015 describes a training device comprising a base plate and a setting plate, wherein the setting plate is designed to rotate around only one fixed axis of rotation relative to the base plate. In addition, locking devices are provided to prevent too much deflection of the setting plate, as well as a deflection sensor.

Therefore, the objective of the utility model is to provide a simulator of the type mentioned at the beginning, by which the disadvantages of the prior art can be eliminated, and in which there is an improved balancing and a training effect improved with minor training nodes, which is expressed in increased body stability. At the same time, the claimed training device can record movement

the subject for his objective assessment for the implementation of the training program and / or control of the computing device and, if necessary, coordination with motivational software, has a simple design and several connections, and can be quickly installed / disassembled and therefore is suitable for mobile use.

According to the invention, this is decided by the fact that the setting plate is intended for tilting (swinging) only around one, which is stationary relative to the setting plate and the base plate of the tilting (swinging) axis. In this case, the training device can be performed especially simply by turning the production plate only around one axis. Using the training device, it is possible to reliably determine the measure of body stability and / or lateral deviation, while it can be determined objectively and reproducibly, with the exception of additional movements of the production plate. These measurements can then be used to create a special training program. Due to this, it is possible to reduce the angular velocity of the rotation movement, making it easier for the subject to hold the production plate in its nominal position. The damping element can be used, in particular, in exercises for training purposes. Due to the adjustable damping element, it is especially easy to take into account the characteristics of the subject and provide him with a sense of success. Using the return element, it can be ensured that the unloaded production plate returns to its nominal position and remains in it. By means of an adjustable return element, it is possible to set various degrees of difficulty for holding the production plate in a nominal position. Due

This can record the accelerations and / or inclinations created by the test subject. Through integration, speed and path can be determined. Thus, based on the initial position of the setting plate, you can constantly record the position of the setting plate. Since the acceleration sensor is supplied with electricity via a data line, a simple and uncomplicated connection of the training device is provided. Thanks to this, the training device can be easily and quickly installed and used even by technically untrained people, and therefore it is especially suitable for mobile use.

In a modification of the invention, it can be provided that the acceleration sensor and / or the inclination sensor is shockproof, while the shock coefficient preferably exceeds 500 g, in particular, exceeds 5000 g. Due to this, the acceleration sensor is not damaged when the setting plate hits the ground, the rise of the setting plate from the ground becomes active again and can detect movements or, accordingly, accelerations and / or inclinations of the setting plate.

In this regard, in a modification of the invention, it may be provided that an acceleration sensor and / or an inclination sensor is provided for measuring turns of at least 20 °. Due to this, the acceleration sensor and / or the inclination sensor can, with the expected maximum inclination of the production plate relative to the ground, record the accelerations and / or inclinations of the production plate.

According to another embodiment of the invention, it may be provided that power is supplied via a USB connection or a Bluetooth connection. Due to this, it is possible with

Using a standard data transmission method, also provide power to the acceleration sensor.

Another embodiment of the invention may consist in the fact that the base plate has a non-slip bottom side, thereby eliminating the possible sliding of the production plate, especially in the case of unstable subjects, in particular for elderly people or people with imbalance.

In addition, the invention relates to a training system, while the data line is connected to the evaluation unit.

Due to this, one can evaluate the accelerations, inclinations and / or movements of the training device and compare, for example, with the estimates of other exercises, due to which an objective assessment of the success of training is possible.

The following is a detailed description of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, which depict particularly preferred embodiments:

figure 2 is a second embodiment of a training device connected to the screen;

figure 3 is a third embodiment of a training device according to the invention, in front view; and

1 and 2 respectively show a particularly preferred embodiment of a training system,

comprising a training device 1, while the training device 1 is connected via a data line 54 to the evaluation unit 8. Such a training device 1 has a production plate 3 for a training person, while the production plate 3 is rotatable and / or tilted, at least at least around one axis, and at the same time, at least one acceleration sensor 51 and / or one tilt sensor is connected to the setting plate 3, and at the same time, a data transmission line 54 is connected to the acceleration sensor 51 and / or sensor tilt, and the power supply of the acceleration sensor 51 and / or the tilt sensor is provided via the data line 54.

Figure 1 shows a first particularly preferred embodiment of a training device 1 according to the invention. In this case, the training device 1 has a production plate 3, which is connected to the base plate 2 by means of a central connection 46, preferably in the middle. The base plate 2 and the setting plate 3 preferably have identical shapes and main surfaces. However, it can also be provided that differently made base plates 2 and setting plates 3 are connected to each other. The base plate 2 preferably has a non-slip lower side, for example with rubber protrusions and / or suction cups. Due to this, inadvertent sliding of the setting plate 3 and / or the base plate 2 is prevented. The central joint 46 in the first particularly preferred embodiment is formed by at least axial loading by joint 46,

which can be bent and therefore allows the inclination of the production plate 3 relative to the base plate 2. It is provided that the setting plate 3 can freely tilt in any direction. It may be provided that the central joint 46 allows substantially non-damped tilts until the setting plate 3 hits an edge against the base plate 2. It may also be provided that the setting plate 3 in the resting position in one place is adjacent to the base plate 2. It may also be provided that the central joint 46 is resilient and, with increasing inclination, creates a constant, reduced or increasing return moment, and therefore attempts to bring the production plate 3 back into equilibrium. In such an embodiment, it may be provided that the unloaded production plate 3 occupies an equilibrium position that substantially corresponds to the parallel arrangement of the production plate 3 with respect to the base plate 2 shown in FIG. A particular advantage of this arrangement is that due to the return moment exercises for the subject can be performed easier, which brings significant relief, especially for beginners.

Compound 46 may contain any suitable material. Preferably, the central connection in the first preferred embodiment comprises elastic materials, in particular foams, plastics, rubber and / or the like, and / or elastic components, in particular metal springs, preferably

compression springs made of steel, or a sleeve filled with gas or, accordingly, a ball. A combination of these materials and components may also be provided, for example, steel compression springs placed in the foam.

Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of a training device 1, according to the invention. In this case, the setting plate 3 rests on the central support 44, while the support 44 is preferably made essentially hemispherical, cylindrical or pillow-shaped. When this setting plate 3 is installed without additional plate 2 of the base directly to the ground. In this case, the central support 44 is preferably made elastic, preferably in the form of a spring element of elastic material with rubber, in the form of an air-filled element and / or in the form of foam material. By making the central support 44 made of elastic material, the load on the ground can be reduced. In the training device 1, according to the second preferred embodiment, it is also possible, in principle, to lift the training device 1 from the ground. To facilitate this, foot loops can be provided on the setting plate 3, due to which it is possible to bounce with the training device 1.

In another embodiment, two or more joints or supports can be provided that are located along one axis, whereby the training device has a preferred tilt axis, and can only move around around other tilt axes.

Training devices 1, according to the invention, have, according to

at least one acceleration sensor 51 and / or one tilt sensor. It is connected to the production plate 3 or, accordingly, integrated into it.

Preferably, a combined acceleration / incline sensor may be provided. Such a sensor according to the measuring principle can be made in the form of an acceleration sensor 51, while an integrated unit for determining the actual slope is integrated into the sensor based on the initial value. Such a sensor has the advantage that, upon impact of the setting plate 3, it does not give an abruptly increasing acceleration value that would create problems for the subsequent electronic evaluation device, but a real value for the actual slope.

The following preferred embodiments of the acceleration sensor 51 applies equally to combined acceleration / incline sensors.

Moreover, the acceleration sensor 51 according to the measuring principle may be any type of acceleration sensor 51, preferably a capacitive, inductive and / or piezoelectric acceleration sensor 51. Since the setting plate 3 during operation can collide with the base plate 2 or, accordingly, with the soil, the acceleration sensor 51 must be able to withstand the high accelerations resulting from it. Therefore, the acceleration sensor 51 is preferably shockproof, with an impact load of preferably more than 500 g, in particular more than 5000 g. Since the swing angles or, accordingly, the slopes that the setting plate 3 can occupy relative to the base plate 2 and / or the ground can be

significant, it is preferably provided that the acceleration sensor 51 is suitable for measuring turns of at least 20 °. Due to this, it is possible to register the entire swing range or, accordingly, the tilt range.

Due to the appropriate selection of the acceleration sensor 51, which can measure accelerations on more than one axis, only a small number, preferably only one, single acceleration sensor 51 can be arranged in the setting plate 3.

Advantageously, it is provided that the necessary measuring bridges and / or charge amplifiers, which are necessary for the acceleration sensor 51 to operate, are located inside the setting plate 3. In addition, an interface is provided that receives the analog output from the acceleration sensor 51, the measuring bridge and / or the charge amplifier , digitizes and prepares for delivery via the data bus. Through the interface, the acceleration sensor 51 and the necessary electronic devices are supplied with power. Preferably, the interface is in the form of a USB connection or a Bluetooth connection. Using a USB connection, it is possible to supply, for example, connected devices with an operating voltage of up to 5V, with a maximum current consumption of 0.5A. A combination with other bus interfaces, respectively, bus standards, both existing and future, can be provided.

The integration of the training device 1, according to the invention, into the training system is provided, while the training device 1 is connected via a data line 54 with

evaluation unit 8. The evaluation unit 8 may, for example, be formed by a storage device for recording accelerations, inclinations and / or movements of the setting plate 3, whereby subsequent comparison of the recorded data with the recorded data of previous measurement cycles or, accordingly, training is possible.

Preferably, it is provided that the evaluation unit 8 additionally or, respectively, instead of a storage device comprises an output device 9 and / or connected to an output device 9. The output device 9 is preferably a display 91 or a printing device, wherein the display 91 in a simple embodiment can be formed by several luminous stripes that indicate that the set plate is held within predetermined limits. Preferably, it may be provided that the display 91 has a remote control 92 and / or a computer 93. In this case, the computer 93 should be understood not only as a personal computer or mac, but also any computer system with a corresponding indicator. First of all, it may be provided that a mobile phone display 91 is used. Since many modern mobile phones already have Bluetooth interfaces, it is especially easy to display data without an additional device, which makes mobile use of the training device possible. It can be provided, in particular, when using the remote control 92, that the display 91 is constituted by a television.

When using the remote control 92 and / or computer 93, you can use all the possibilities of processing and recording data. Before

In total, a comparison of the current movement data with the stored data of previous exercises may be provided. Using the remote control 92 and / or computer 93, you can also perform interactive exercises, in which, for example, on the display 91, i.e. monitor, TV or imaging device, you can show the execution of certain movements that the subject must perform, while the display 91 displays both the set and the actual position of the setting plate 3.

Preferably, the use of video games is also provided. So, for example, the training system according to the invention can be used as an interactive element for playing surfing, skateboard or snowboard, in which the movements of the player standing on the setting plate 3 are transmitted to the movements of the interactive game figure. This can be further complicated by attaching a manual control device.

Due to this, you can play, for example, more complex games, or perform additional coordination exercises in the training program.

Figures 3 and 4 show another embodiment of the training device 1, while the setting plate 3 can rotate relative to the base plate 2 around the swing axis 42, and a deflection sensor 5 is provided. Pivoting around the tilt axis 42 can be realized in a simple manner using the pivot joint 41.

When working, the subject stands on the setting plate 3 and tries to keep it in the nominal equilibrium position. At

in doing so, he can change the moment about the tilt axis 42 by shifting the weight. Using the training device 1, it is possible to determine the degree of body stability by the fact that using the deviation sensor 5, it is possible to determine the average deviation amplitude of the setting plate 3 around the nominal position in the testing interval. In this case, it can be provided that the deviation sensor 5 divides the measured range into predetermined individual ranges, with each output value corresponding to an output value. If the output value increases with increasing distance from the nominal position, the body stability index can be determined as the average value of the corresponding current output value during the testing interval. The lower the body stability index formed in this way, the better the subject can hold the production plate in its nominal position.

In another embodiment, the body stability index can be determined as the average deviation angle of the production plate 2 from the nominal position.

Along with the body stability index, other lateral stability indicators can be determined, which represent the body stability index separately for each side. Due to this, it can be determined whether the alignment around the nominal position evenly occurs on both sides, or whether one side is loaded more. In addition to this, it is possible to determine the duration of deviation of the setting plate 3 for each side. If necessary, it is naturally possible to determine other characteristics during the interval

testing, for example, the distribution of forces on the setting plate 3. The method can be carried out especially simply and reproducibly if the setting plate 3 can only rotate around one tilt axis 42. However, it may also be provided that the setting plate 3 rotates around several axes.

Due to this, you can easily determine whether the subject has a preferred side, and you can draw up a special training program for the needs of the subject. A training program may also contain these games.

It may be provided that the training device 1 comprises a damping element 6, by means of which the rotation movement of the setting plate 3 is damped. The damping element 6 can preferably be made adjustable. Due to this, damping can be coordinated with an individual subject, and various degrees of complexity can be implemented to hold the setting plate 3 in its nominal position.

This can also be achieved with the help of the return element 7 to return the setting plate 3 to its nominal position, while the return element 7 can be made adjustable. A combination of a return element 7 with a damping element 6, which may be in the form of a spring damping element, may also be provided.

It is advisable when the setting plate 3 is balanced around the tilt axis 42. For training purposes, in particular for training a given side, it may also be preferable

such a setting plate 3 that one side while holding in a nominal position should be loaded more. For this, the setting plate 3 may, for example, have devices for attaching additional masses.

The deviation sensor 5 may include an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver, while it can be made similar to a computer mouse, due to which it is possible to produce a particularly simple and reliable deviation sensor 5. To protect the deflection sensor 5, a cover 56 may be formed that can be connected in one piece, in particular with the base plate 2. The deviation sensor 5 can also be made in the form of an acceleration sensor 51 and / or an inclination sensor.

To ensure easy further processing of the output values, a connection 55 may be provided by which the output device is connected to the deviation sensor 5. As an output device, in particular, an output computer may be provided. Using the output computer, you can simply archive and further process the measurement data. In addition, tables and graphs can be compiled in a simple manner, with which you can, in particular, illustrate the measurement results for the subject.

The installation of the training device 1 for balance can simply be controlled when the spirit level is located on the base plate 2. Due to this, you can simply control the horizontal position of the base plate 2 in the installed state.

Other embodiments of the invention have only part

these features, while any combination of features may be provided, in particular, also from the above embodiments.
