Description

sports arrangement

The invention relates to a sports arrangement.

Such a sports arrangement comprises a box body, a box body holder, a holding arrangement for holding the box body holder. The holding arrangement and the box body receptacle are set up in such a way that the box body is held in a basic position. During the intended use, the box body is elastically displaced from the basic position by the action of a boxing blow and is then returned to the basic position. Such an arrangement can be formed in particular by a punching ball arrangement, a punching bag arrangement or a double end ball arrangement. Such a sports arrangement is described in German patent application 10 2019 002 702.7.

It is the object of the present invention to further develop the aforementioned arrangement. This is solved by a sports arrangement according to claim 1; Configurations are the subject of the dependent claims and the description.

The sports arrangement according to the invention comprises: a box body, a tensioning cable, a first, in particular upper, fastening, a second, in particular lower, fastening, the tensioning cable being clamped between the two fastenings. The tightening cable interacts with the box body in such a way that the box body is held in a basic position and that the box body can be displaced, in particular elastically, from the basic position by the action of a boxing blow and then returned to the basic position. The sports arrangement has adjustment means for adjusting a tension of the tensioning cable and/or a vertical position of the box body on the sports arrangement.

The sports arrangement according to the invention enables adaptation to the individual requirements of the user in terms of size and sporting ambitions.

In one embodiment, adjustment means for adjusting the vertical position of the box body are provided on the box body. In order to change the vertical position of the box body, in particular the relative position of the box body relative to the tensioning cable can be changed in a targeted manner. In this way, the sports arrangement can be adapted to the size of the user without access to the upper attachment, which is usually only accessible using a ladder, being necessary

In one embodiment, the adjustment means for adjusting the vertical position of the Box body a cable clamp guide that can be converted between a clamped state and a release state. In a clamped state, the vertical position of the box body, in particular the relative position of the box body on the tensioning cable, can be changed by user interaction. In a release state, the vertical position of the box body, particularly the relative position of the box body on the tether, is fixed. The clamping arrangement enables an easily adaptable height adjustment without damaging the tensioning cable.

In one embodiment, the cable clamping guide can be switched between a clamping state and a release state using an actuator. In particular, the actuator is arranged in an opening of the outer body in such a way that the actuator is accessible to a user. This means that the height of the box body can be adjusted without any major conversion work.

In one embodiment, the box body has a multi-part design. The box body includes an outer body and a base case, the outer body surrounding the base case. The multi-part design allows in particular a selection of the materials to the specific requirements. A certain softness is required on the outer surface for the user's boxing experience; On the other hand, functional elements arranged inside the box body require rigidity in order to support their function and longevity. The basic housing can then accommodate the functional elements, e.g. clamping arrangement and electronic components, and hold them in a stable position within the box body. In one embodiment, the outer body is less hard than the base housing and/or the insert housing.

In one embodiment, the box body has a multi-part design, with the box body comprising an outer body and an insert housing. The insert housing can be selectively removable, in particular in a receiving space in the outer body and/or in a receiving space in the basic housing. In particular, the insert housing accommodates electronic components, a battery and/or components of the clamping arrangement.

In one embodiment, by removing the insert housing from the outer body and/or from the main housing, the cable clamp guide can be switched from the clamped state to the released state. Alternatively or in combination with this, by inserting the insert housing into the basic housing and/or into the outer body, the cable clamp guide can be switched from the released state to the clamped state. Plugging the respective components together enables the clamping arrangement to be closed intuitively, which is conducive to simple handling Cover and / or covered by a second lower cover, in particular, wherein the respective cover has a hardness that is less than a hardness of the respective housing. What is essentially important here is an outer surface of the respective housing part, which in each case represents at least a section of the outer surface of the box body. The respective cover can be made correspondingly softer than the respective housing parts to be covered in order to avoid the risk of injury during use.

In one embodiment, the sports arrangement includes a tension measuring device for detecting the cable tension of a first cable section of the tensioning cable, with the box body being held on the first cable section. Proper rope tension is an important prerequisite for proper and successful use of the sports arrangement. It has been found that the intuitive setting of the cable tension by a user often leads to a setting that is not optimal from a sporting point of view. Using the tension measuring device, the cable tension can always be set precisely to the optimal default value, which can differ significantly from an intuitive setting by the user.

In one embodiment, the strain gauge can be selectively coupled to and selectively decoupled from the first cable section. As a result, the voltage measuring device is only energized when the voltage is actually desired to be interrogated. In normal operating mode, the strain gauge can be stored relaxed, which supports its longevity. This avoids the sometimes sensitive components being exposed to a constant alternating load, which is generated by the constant vibrations of the tension cable.

In one embodiment, the tensioning cable has at least a first cable section on which the box body is held. A cable clamp arrangement is arranged between the tension measuring device and the first cable section, the tension measuring device being decoupled from the cable tension of the first cable section in a clamping state of the cable clamping arrangement and the tension measuring device being coupled to the cable tension of the first cable section in a release state.

In one configuration, an interaction element is provided with a first end and a second end. The first end is in operative connection with electronic components in an accommodating space of the box body, the second end is arranged on the outer surface of the box body. In particular, the interaction element is a button element and/or a light guide element, in particular one that is mounted in a displaceable manner. Due to the specific arrangement of the two ends an interaction between the user on the surface and the components inside the box body.

The invention also relates to a method for setting up a sports arrangement of the aforementioned type. The method comprises the following steps: a) connecting the box body to the tensioning cable and fastening the tensioning cable between the first attachment and the second attachment; then: b) Adjusting the cable tension of the tensioning cable, whereby the order of steps b and c) is irrelevant. The special feature is that the adjustment of the rope tension and the vertical position can be carried out independently of the connection of the box body with the tension rope and fastening of the tension rope between the first attachment and the second attachment.

In one embodiment, adjusting the cable tension includes the following sub-steps:

coupling a tension gauge to a first rope portion of the tension rope on which the box body is held;

varying the cable tension until the cable tension corresponds to a desired cable tension, decoupling the tension measuring device from the first cable section

In one embodiment, to adjust the vertical position of the box body, the adjusted cable tension is reduced; once the adjustment has been made, the set rope tension is restored without using a tension meter

The advantages and configurations mentioned with regard to the device can also be applied to the method and vice versa

The invention can also relate to a use of the sports arrangement.

The box body can be designed in different ways and in particular be adapted to the training requirements. The box body can, for example, be round or angular, in particular as a spherical or egg-shaped ball, and/or as a polyhedron. In one embodiment, the adjustment means are means for tool-free loosening and fixing of the tensioning cable relative to the box body, or relative to the upper attachment, or relative to the lower attachment.

Figures la and lb show a sports arrangement 1, which is based on the disclosure of German patent application 10 2019 002 702.7. This comprises a box body 2 which is held by means of a tensioning cable 3. The tensioning cable 3 is clamped between a first upper attachment 4 and a second lower attachment 5. The sports arrangement 1 also includes an electronic terminal 8 for operation. The mobile terminal device 8 can be a mobile phone or a tablet PC.

Figures 2 to 6 show an embodiment of the second attachment 5 or parts thereof. The cable tension can be adjusted using the second attachment 5 .

The second attachment 5 includes a base 51 with a correspondingly large weight, which can provide the required cable tension. As an alternative to the base 51, the second attachment 5 can also be attached firmly to the floor or to a frame, as described in DE 10 2019 002 702.7.

A clamp housing 52 is attached to the stand 51 . The tension cable 3 is guided through the clamp housing 52 and fastened using a clamp arrangement 53 . The clamping arrangement 53 comprises a movable clamping piece 53H, here in the form of a pivotable clamping lever 53H, with an integrated handle 53D, and an associated counterpart 53G, between which the tensioning cable 3 is non-positively fastened. The clamping arrangement divides the tensioning cable 3 into two cable sections 31, 32 . A first rope section 31 is between the box body 2 and the clamp assembly 53H, 53G arranged. A second rope section 22 is positioned on the other side of the clamp assembly 53H, 53G. The second rope section 32 is gripped by a user. The user then pulls on the second rope section 32 and can put the first rope section 31 under tension. To do this, the clamping lever 53H is released. Once the desired tension has been reached, the tensioning lever 53H is switched to a clamping state and the rope tension is permanently set on the first rope section 31. The user can now let go of the second rope section 32 and the tension on the second rope section 32 is eliminated. The second rope section 32 can then be wound around a winding section 54 . A shield 55 prevents the second cable section 32 from unwinding undesirably. The shield is designed to be removable. With the shield removed, the second section of rope can be more easily unwound from the coiling section.

When the clamping piece 53H is released, the rope tension is determined using a tension measuring arrangement 56 . The tension measurement arrangement 56 comprises a tension measurement device 561. A tension connector 562 connects the second cable section 32 to the tension measurement device 561. The tension connector 562 can be an eyebolt, through the eyelet of which the second cable section 32 is guided. The second cable section then pulls on the tension connector 562 in the direction of PI, resulting in bending moments (arrows P2) on a force absorbing element of the tension measuring device 561 (FIG. 4); these bending moments can then be measured, for example using piezo sensors or strain gauges (not shown).

By fixing the clamping arrangement, the tension measuring arrangement 56 is decoupled from the permanently tensioned first rope section 32 . Thus, in continuous operation, the voltage measuring arrangement is not kept under tension and is not subjected to the vibrations, which considerably reduces its susceptibility to wear.

Figures 9 to 12 show a further embodiment of the second attachment, which functionally largely corresponds to the first attachment. In this respect, only the deviations will be discussed below.

The clamping piece 53H is designed to be longitudinally displaceable. Depending on the longitudinal position of the clamping piece 53H, the tensioning cable 3 is clamped between the clamping piece 53H and the counterpart 53G. The longitudinal position of the clamping piece 53H is adjusted using the handle 53D, with the handle having the shape of a rotary handle between the handle 53D and Clamping piece 53H is a threaded piece 53S which is fixedly connected either to the handle 53D or to the clamping piece 53H. The threaded piece is connected to the other element (clamping piece 53H or handle 53D) by means of the threaded piece 53S. Twisting the handle 53D about it The axis of rotation thus leads to a longitudinal displacement of the clamping piece 53H.

FIG. 11a shows the lower attachment 5 in an assembled state. The tension cable, in particular also the first cable section 31, is relaxed. The tensioning cable 3 can be passed through the tensioning housing 52 .

FIG. 11b shows the lower attachment 5 in a tightened state, with the clamping arrangement in a released state. The tensioning cable 3 is pulled by a user on the second cable section 32 so that the first cable section 31 is also placed under tension.

Tension housing 52 includes a cable entry 28A and a cable exit 58B. The first cable section 31 is passed through the cable entry 58A. The second cable section 32 is passed through the cable outlet 58B.

The cable entry 58A is oriented vertically. The cable exit 58A is oriented obliquely upwards, in particular with an angle of inclination W of at least 45° relative to the horizontal. In particular, a user standing next to the lower attachment can grip the second rope section 32 ergonomically and pull on it. Once a desired cable tension has been reached on the first cable section, the clamping arrangement can be actuated in order to fix the cable.

FIG. 11c shows the lower fastening in a clamped state, with the cable 3 being clamped between the clamping piece 53H and the counterpart. The second cable section 32 can now be wound around the winding section 54.

The terminal housing protrudes through a central opening of the base. The base 51 is held in a form-fitting manner between the upper part 520 and the lower part 52U. The terminal housing 52 is designed in several parts and has an upper part 520 and a lower part 52 . For the connection, the upper part 520 is screwed to the lower part 52U. The upper part 520 and the lower part 82U each have an integrally formed thread; screwing is achieved by twisting the upper part relative to the lower part.

A cover 52D closes the terminal housing 52 at the top. The cover forms a cable entry 58A through which the tensioning cable 3 is passed.

Figures 7 and 8 show the box body 2, which is designed in several parts. The box body 2 includes an outer body 21, which in particular is the largest portion of an outer surface 201 of the box body 2 is formed. The outer body 21 is designed in such a way that the user experiences the desired haptic counter-reaction when executing a boxing punch. For this purpose, the outer body 21 has a certain ball-like flexibility. The outer body 21 can in particular be formed from a foamed material with a suitable surface finish.

The outer body 21 has a first accommodation space 211 . The first accommodating space 21 extends through the entire outer body 21 along a central axis M in the vertical direction. The central axis M is aligned coaxially with the tensioning cable 3 . The tension cable 3 is guided through the first accommodation space 211 .

Further components of the box body 2 are arranged in the first receiving space 211, in particular electronic components and components for adjusting the height of the box body. A base housing 22 is accommodated in the first accommodation space 211 . The basic housing 22 is formed from a solid plastic and is connected to the outer body 21 in a materially bonded manner, for example. In particular, the outer body 21 can be foamed around the base housing 22 .

The base housing 22 has a second receiving space 221 which extends along the central axis M through the base housing 22 and through which the tensioning cable 3 leads through GE.

An insert housing 23 is inserted in the second receiving space 221 . The insert case 23 is detachably and movably arranged on the base case 22 .

The tension cable 3 is held by a cable outlet guide 224 and a cable inlet guide 234 such that the cable is aligned coaxially with the central axis M. The cable outlet guide 224 and the cable inlet guide 234 are arranged at opposite ends, specifically poles, of the box body 2 . In particular, the cable outlet guide 224 is formed integrally with the base housing 22 . In particular, the cable inlet guide 234 is formed integrally with the insert housing 22 .

The tether 3 can be fixed to the box body. For this purpose, a cable clamp guide is provided, which enables the cable to be clamped to housing parts. A first rope clamp guide 222 is formed in particular by the base housing 22, a second rope clamp guide 232 is formed in particular by the insert housing 23. The tensioning rope 3 is passed through the first and the second rope clamp guide 222,232. The first and/or the second rope clamping guide 222, 232 is guided eccentrically to the central axis M. When the rope clamp guide 222, 232 is in a clamped state, the tension rope 3 is held on the box body 2 in a non-positive manner. In particular, the tensioning cable 3 is guided in an S-shape under the action of crushing forces. The clamped state is reached in particular when the insert housing 23 is fastened to the base housing 22 (FIG. 8).

To release the clamped state, the insert housing 23 is shifted upwards (arrow PI), which eliminates the squeezing effect. In this released state, the tensioning cable can be guided freely through the box body 2 or the box body can be displaced on the tensioning cable. By moving the box body 2 up or down, the vertical position of the box body can be adjusted or changed. As soon as the desired vertical position is reached, the clamped state is restored, in particular by inserting the insert housing 23 completely back into the base housing 22 (opposite to arrow PI)

The first clamping guide 222 and the second clamping guide 232 are designed in such a way that they can each guide the tension cable 3 in sections. The cable piece guided in the first clamping guide 222 is not held coaxially to the cable piece guided in the second clamping guide 232 . In the clamping state, the two clamping guides 222, 232 overlap, viewed parallel to the central axis M. In the release state, the two clamping guides 222, 232 do not overlap, viewed parallel to the central axis M, as a result of which the squeezing effect is eliminated. In the clamping state, an intermediate guide with an intermediate cross section Z is formed between the two clamping guides, which is smaller than a cable cross section S of the tensioning cable 3.

When releasing the clamping condition, the rope tension of the first rope section is reduced, which makes it easier to adjust the position. After re-establishing the clamping state, the previously set rope tension is automatically restored.

In principle, it is possible that the two clamping guides 222, 232 can be designed separately from the insert housing or the basic housing and/or can be designed to be movable separately from them.

The insert housing 23 forms a third accommodation space 231 . The electronic components, which are not explained in detail here, are accommodated in the third accommodation space 231 . This is particularly the case with sensor and communication technology. A first closure 24 closes the third accommodation space 231 and can be removed if necessary. A sealing ring 26 seals the junction between the insert housing 23 and the first shutter 24 off.

The first closure 24 forms a fourth accommodation space 241 . A battery (not shown), in particular a button cell, is accommodated in the fourth accommodation space 241 . A second closure 25 closes the fourth receiving space 241 and can be removed if necessary. A sealing ring 26 seals the junction between the first closure 24 and the second closure 25 .

The insert housing 23 can be removed from the top of the first accommodation space 211 or the second accommodation space 221 . So that this is possible, the first receiving space 211 or second receiving space 221 has a comparatively large opening cross section at its upper end. In comparison, the first or second receiving space 211, 221 has a comparatively small opening cross section at its lower end, since only the tensioning cable 3 is passed through here.

A first cover 27 covers the first accommodating space 211 on the upper side. The first cover may be made of a soft material and simply plugged into the first accommodation space. A latch is not required.

A second cover 28 covers the first accommodating space 211 on a lower side. The second cover is connected to one of the housings 22 , 23 via latching elements 289 .

The insert housing 23 can be selectively fixed or released relative to the base housing 22 via a latching connection, here for example comprising flexible second latching elements 239 on the insert housing 23 . For this purpose, the basic housing 22 has a first latching element 229 which the second latching element 239 engages behind. A release element 288 is provided on the second cover 28 for releasing the locking connection. This release element 288 is moved towards the base housing and/or the insert housing in direction P3, as a result of which the second latching element 239 is guided out of engagement with the first latching element 229 in direction P4. At the same time, the insert housing is moved in the removal direction P5, so that when the release element 288 is no longer acted upon, the latching of the elements 229, 239 does not automatically engage again

The box body 2 includes an interaction element 29 . The interaction element 29 has a first end 291 and a second end 292 . The first end 291 is arranged in one of the accommodation spaces in which the electronic components are arranged; in this example, this is the third accommodation space 231. The second end 292 is on an outer surface of the box body arranged so that a user has access to the interaction element 29.

The interaction element can support different MMI functions. In one embodiment, the interaction element 29 is a button with which a touch command can be transmitted to the electronic components in the receiving space. For this purpose, the interaction element can be displaced, in particular slidably mounted. Even if the sports arrangement is operated largely wirelessly via the electronic device, direct interaction may still be necessary, for example to start a pairing process or to switch the power supply on or off.

In one configuration, the interaction element 29 is designed as a light-guiding element. The first end 291 can, for example, be arranged on an LED of the electronic components and direct a light signal generated therefrom to the surface of the box body 2 . Such a light signal can in particular indicate the functionality of the sports arrangement 1 or the presence of the pairing process.

FIGS. 13 to 15 show details of a further embodiment, which functionally largely corresponds to the box body described above. In this respect, only the differences will be discussed below. The individual components sometimes have different external designs.

The insert housing 23 is arranged in a lower area of the second accommodating space 221 and fixed there. In the installed state, the insert housing closes the second receiving space 221. The insert housing 23 has a clamping guide 232, which is aligned along the central axis M. The tensioning cable 3 is passed through the clamping guide 232.

A clamping lever is movably mounted on the insert housing. The clamping lever 235 can be transferred from a release state (FIG. 14b) to a clamping state (FIG. 14b) and vice versa by pivoting. In the clamping state, the clamping lever clamps the cable guided in the clamping guide 232 and thus fixes the relative position of the insert housing and the tensioning cable.

The clamping lever 235 is actuated by an actuation. The actuator has a guide link 281 on an inner side. The guide link 281 interacts with a guide projection 236 on the actuator in such a way that a rotation of the guide link causes a displacement of the clamping lever 235 between its clamped state and causes its release state. FIG. 15a shows the relative orientation of the actuator to the clamping lever 235 during the release state, FIG. 15b shows the relative orientation of the actuator 28 to the clamping lever 235 during the clamping state. On an outside, the actuator 282 has a handle 282 by which a user can twist the actuator.

Viewed in a circumferential direction U, the guide link 281 widens radially. If the actuator is rotated along this circumferential direction U, the guide projection 236 is acted upon in the radially inward direction on the tensioning cable 3, as a result of which the jamming is effected. By turning the actuator counter to this circumferential direction U, the guide projection can deviate radially outwards, as a result of which the clamping force is reduced or eliminated.

An electronics mount 210 on which the electronic components are arranged is also accommodated in the second accommodation space 221 .

FIG. 14 shows a battery 242 accommodated in the fourth accommodating space 241. FIG.

It can be seen in FIG. 14 that the basic housing 22 essentially has a cylindrical shape which, however, tapers from axially below to axially above. In addition, a support collar 227 pointing radially outward is provided. As a result, the outer body 21 can be supported axially at the bottom on the basic housing 11 .

For assembly, the outer body 21 is slipped onto the base body 22 from above until, due to the taper and/or due to the support collar 227, the base body provides sufficient axial support.

In order to prevent the outer body 21 from slipping axially upwards, the base body 21 has a locking collar 226 pointing radially outwards at its upper end. An elasticity of the outer body is used for assembly. The outer body 21 is expanded radially in order to pass the securing collar 226 . If the outer body 21 is completely turned over on the base body 22 , the outer body is supported vertically at the top on the securing collar 226 .

The outer body is formed in particular from a PUR foam

The remaining housing parts are made in particular from ABS plastic FIG. 12 shows the voltage measuring arrangement 56 in an exploded view. The strain gauge assembly 56 essentially comprises two core components, a strain gauge 561 and a strain connector 562.

The tension connector 562 is in operative connection with the tension cable 3. In particular, the tension connector comprises an eyelet through which the tension cable is passed. On the other side, the voltage connector 562 is connected to the voltage meter 561. If the tensioning cable is taut, there is a tensile force on the tension connector, which is transmitted to the tension measuring device 561. In this case, the entire clamping force is based on the tension measuring device.

The strain gauge 561 includes a force receiving element 611 which is connected to the strain connector, for example by means of a screw 652S. The force absorbing element 611 has a plurality of sensors which are suitable for detecting bending moments on the force absorbing element 611, from which the tensile force introduced can be derived. The force absorbing element 611 is fastened to a sensor housing 612. A circuit board 613, not shown in detail, with electronic components is arranged in an interior space of the sensor housing 612. The interior is closed with a cover 614 . The cover also serves as a battery housing and has a battery compartment 614B into which a battery 615 is inserted. A seal 616 and a cover 617 close the battery compartment. The cover 614 has retaining projections 614H with which the cover can also be fastened to the terminal housing of the lower attachment

Figure 16 shows the upper attachment 4 in detail.

The upper attachment 4 has a base support 41 which is screwed in particular to the ceiling of a room. The base support 41 has a contact surface 411 pointing upwards, which is centered on the central axis M. The contact surface has a passage opening 412 along the central axis M.

For attachment to the upper attachment, the tensioning cable 3 has a radial thickening 33 at the upper end. The thickening 33 has a diameter that is larger than the passage bore 412.

To fasten the tensioning cable 3 , the thickening is brought into contact with the contact surface 411 . The tensioning cable 23 is passed through the passage opening 412 .

The contact surface 411 has a radial opening starting from the passage bore 412 413, through which the tensioning cable 3 can be inserted radially inwards into the passage bore during assembly.

The upper attachment 4 has a cover 42 which is formed separately from the base support 41. The cover 42 is connected to the base support 41 by a bayonet catch or by means of a screw connection. The cover has a passage opening 422 for the tensioning cable 3. The passage opening 422 is dimensioned such that the radial thickening can be passed through the passage opening, possibly using elastic deformation. The passage opening 422 of the cover 42 is aligned coaxially with the passage opening 412 of the base support.

Even if the adjustment means for cable tension are attached to the lower attachment in the present example, a largely identical configuration is possible in which the adjustment means are provided on the upper attachment.
