Description

Inertial simulator Area of use

The invention relates to the field of sports, entertainment and 5 attractions. The simulator allows you to simulate situations in which a person experiences physical exertion de facto and is forced to respond to them, performing the same actions as in a real workout.

State of the art

10

So there is a known method of training athletes for the development of coordination of movements when performing complex human movements in space, carried out, for example, on a trampoline - a grid with rubber shock absorbers designed to perform

15 jumps, somersaults and various turns (TSB, M., "Soviet Encyclopedia", 1970, vol. 3, vol. 3, p. 124).

This training method allows you to practice the technique of coordinating the movement of the body when it moves in space, but does not allow you to create sufficient physical stress on the human

20 organism when moving in space.

There are also various simulators that allow you to create physical activity on various muscle groups, but do not allow you to exercise coordination of movement (PCT NQ 94/27678, publ. 08.12.94).

25 A method of training coordination of movement, which consists in moving the body in space with a periodic change in its position with power loading, which allows you to develop the skills of positional stability of an athlete due to the formation of an athlete’s reaction to an external load that changes in direction and magnitude, aimed at removing it from a stable position equilibrium (EP 0488436, publ. 07.11.91). This method allows you to work out some movements that combine coordination and developing skills to maintain the positional stability of the athlete.

The disadvantage of this method of training is the limited ability to practice coordination of movement while creating 5 appropriate physical activity for various muscle groups. Another disadvantage of this known method is that it is based on the development of the athlete’s skills to maintain positional stability, which are the result of his physical development, the state of the vestibular apparatus and his ability to respond to changing conditions. Thus, this method is more focused on the development of the athlete's natural data than on the formation of new abilities.

Current trends in the development of game sports aimed at increasing speeds and physical activity require

15 from an athlete quick thinking: orientation in extreme competitive situations, taking into account the properties of the playing field coverage; the execution of the correct techniques in the shortest periods of time, while maintaining positional stability regardless of the type, strength and direction of the force impact, i.e. need high

20 automatism of action under conditions of statokinetic interference. This requires expanding the athlete’s functional capabilities, especially increasing his statokinetic noise immunity (positional stability), as well as increasing the stability and endurance of the vestibular analyzer, which plays a leading role in

25 implementation of these tasks.

Closest to the present invention is a device for training coordination of movement for the development of positional stability of an athlete to external influence, which consists in the formation of a response of an athlete to a change in direction and magnitude of an external load aimed at removing him from a stable equilibrium position (RU N ° 1776420, A63B 22 / 00, publ. 11/23/1992). A known method of training is implemented using a rotating platform that receives an adjustable rotational movement from the electric drive. In this case, the tilt angle of the platform can be changed by a special device. The athlete placed on the platform due to its larger diameter can

5 to perform various techniques during its rotation. It can be a shot on goal, a throw to the basket, etc., i.e. precision target techniques, as well as complex coordination techniques in gymnastics, figure skating and other sports. Complex repetitive motor skills are formed through repeated repetitions of techniques along with the development of statokinetic noise immunity in athletes.

The disadvantage of this device is that in the framework of training, real conditions cannot be achieved in which the athlete will have to fulfill certain worked out

15 platform techniques. A feature of this method is that an athlete located on the platform, depending on its position from the geometric center, falls under the influence of inertial influences of various sizes. Due to its adaptability, after some time the athlete begins

20 to navigate on the platform and knows in advance on which of its distance from the center it will be exerted on it in advance of the expected external force. This method organizes the development of the vestibular analyzer well, but helps to get used to predetermined conditions.

25 Disclosure of Invention

For such game sports as American football, wrestling or other types of martial arts, the endurance of the vestibular analyzer and maintaining the positional stability of the brain regardless of environmental conditions, time and magnitude of force are most important. Thus, for the development of these components in an athlete, the training conditions should be as close as possible to real action. Since the use of mechanical training devices, due to their designs, does not allow developing an algorithm for influencing an athlete that is adequate to real conditions, it seems advisable to change the conditions for 5 trainings. The change in conditions consists in the fact that training should be a set of actions aimed at the formation of power supporting structures, a certain position of which organizes the athlete's high positional stability to external influences. The technical result that can be obtained by implementing the proposed device is to increase the effectiveness of training by creating an effective, fairly simple training device that develops coordination of movement and statokinetic noise immunity of an athlete to an external power

15 exposure in real conditions, repeating the conditions of a sports competition.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the inertial simulator containing a platform on the axis, driven in rotation from the engine with a drive that provides a variable

20 rotational speed and reversal, is equipped with a housing located under the platform and made in the form of the lower part of the torus, in the center of which is the axis of the platform, surrounded by a platform with an inclination to the axis, while the body is connected to the axis rotation drive, the platform axis is made in the form of an elevator barrel

25 shafts with doorways for lifting from the platform to the platform, and the casing is made with the possibility of filling with water and flowing through collectors connected by pipes, one of which is mounted in the upper part of the casing wall, and the other near the platform.

These features are significant and interconnected between them with the formation of a stable set of essential features sufficient to obtain the desired technical result. Brief Description of the Drawings

5 The present invention is illustrated by the specific example shown in FIG. 1 - a simulator device of an inertial type is presented.

The inertial simulator (Fig. 1) is a vertical centrifuge consisting of a housing 1 connected to the engine 2 through the axis of rotation 3. In turn, the engine 2 is connected to the axis 3 through a variator 4 and a reverse 5, allowing rotation of the housing 1 with a variable speed and in opposite directions. The housing 1 of the simulator is supported through a system of rollers 6 located on a circle on rails. In the center of the simulator housing

15, platform 7 is made at a certain height with a slight slope towards the center. On the platform 7, the trunk of the elevator shaft 8 with the doorways 9 is mounted strictly in the center. The elevator shaft 8 rotates with the platform 10, which ensures safe movement of the athlete from the lower platform 7 to the ceiling 11. Between the slab

20 overlap 11 above the simulator and the housing 1 there is a ventilation gap. The body of the simulator is the lower part of the torus with the formation of a torus concave surface that can be filled with water. The water mirror in the stationary position is indicated by pos. 12. When the simulator rotates, water is distributed over

25 torus surfaces. The mirror of water in dynamics - pos. 13. Along the perimeter of the housing 1, in its upper part is a collector 14 for collecting excess water. Around the platform 7, a collector 15 with nozzles is located around the perimeter, which supplies water to the torus cavity. The collectors 14 and 15 are interconnected by overflow pipes 16, which are not located along the meridians, but in a spiral both to one and the other side, which allows for a natural flow of water between communicating due to the karyolis inertia collectors 14 and 15. This water circulation system includes a water treatment system 17, and, if necessary, a pumping unit and a water heating device.

The main idea of the simulator is to create

5 autovisual and muscle loads on the athlete, which is achieved when moving around the circle, when the inertia force acts on the body.

The main task is to create a "centrifugal force", which, by its action, causes a physical sensation, for example: movement on a mountain slope for a snowboarder, or on the crest of a "standing wave" for a surfer.

Consider the rotational movement of the flat platform on which the athlete is located. She seeks to throw his body away from the center, and the further the athlete is from the center, the more he will pull and tilt him out. This creates

15 the illusion that he is standing on an inclined plane.

If you give the rotating platform such a curvature that at a certain speed its surface is at each point perpendicular to the resulting (resultant forces), then the person will feel at all its points, as on the horizontal 20 plane. If water is poured onto such a surface, then it spreads in an even layer.

Consider in FIG. 1 three characteristic points of the body of the simulator, rotating in the likeness of a vertical centrifuge.

At point "A" the effect of sliding down is ensured, since the force 25 of the weight in the composition of the resulting forces is dominant. At point "B" the effect of sliding to the periphery and down is ensured. Between them is the boundary point "B", where the resultant of forces is perpendicular to the surface of the housing 1, where the effect of being on a horizontal surface appears. zo The simulator case 1, filled with a certain volume of water, simulates a mountain slope or a crest of a “standing wave” in the form of a crescent month during rotation. The athlete is forced to take action: muscle efforts for laying bends, inclinations for fixing the center of gravity of the body in space, etc., as a reaction to the conditions created by the simulator, simulating the selected environment. The work of the simulator is based on the presence of inertial forces of rotation, creating a field of centrifugal forces, which, due to the selected configuration of the casing, gives the water surface the required curvature.
