Description

 LOADING DEVICE FOR CREATING AN ADJUSTABLE LOAD

 SPORTS SIMULATOR

 The proposed technical solution relates to the field of sports equipment and can be used to train and develop the main muscle groups of adolescents and adults engaged in street sports simulators.

 Known training device containing an E-shaped base on which the front and rear racks are fixedly mounted and movably a seat connected to the loading device by a bar. During the training process, the seat performs a plane-parallel reciprocating movement. The rail for the load is installed with the possibility of changing the angle of inclination using a mechanism with a latch. The device has a pusher connected to the bar.

 A disadvantage of the known device is that weighted loads create a load in one direction, since they are always located on one side of the swing axis. Therefore, simulators of this type are limited to training one muscle group.

 In addition, the presence in the analog of the rack and pinion mechanism for adjusting the load complicates the design of the training device (see patent for IZ 2247587, class A63B 21/06).

 A well-known simulator for training muscles and joints, including a bed, cable, carabiners, ring gear, pulley block, guides, traction rod, and a load collection package (package of cargo plates), is equipped with a folding movable U-shaped bar located parallel to a steel cable that simultaneously interacts with pull rod and upper roller block. The U-shaped bar is connected to the upper bed and at one end with a support rod, and the other with a slider installed together with the latch on guides made in the form of support columns. The latch of the load plate package is installed in the lower bed (see details on PM JYS 39279, CL A63B21 / 02).

 A disadvantage of the known device is the need to remove and install weighted loads to adjust the load, and the load changes discretely, which creates some inconvenience for the trainee. In addition, with this method of load adjustment, the possibility of unauthorized theft of weighted goods is not ruled out.

Known sports simulator, including a support frame with an axis and racks, the load guide, made in the form of a lever, along which the load is mixed with the possibility of fixation, a lever with a handle, a limiter for the lower position of the load guide and a limiter for moving the load. The levers are interconnected and are located on one side relative to the axis of rotation (see Pat. PM PM JYS 62338, class ABZV 21/00).

 The main disadvantage of the known device is the inability to regulate the load on the lever handle in a percentage ratio to the value of the load, which does not allow the trainee to quickly and smoothly adjust the load.

 The closest in combination of essential features is the device for storing the weighted goods of a sports simulator, disclosed in the patent for utility model RU Na 134799 А63В 21/00 (prototype), including weighted goods and a U-shaped protection element against unauthorized theft, on which weighted goods set as a percentage. A U-shaped element with one of its ends is rigidly fixed to the swing axis, and on the other free end, which is both a stop, elements are installed along with the efforts of the trainee.

 A disadvantage of the known device is the inability to adjust the load as a percentage of the load, which does not allow the trainee to make smooth load adjustments without moving the weighted loads.

 In the proposed technical solution, the above listed disadvantages are eliminated.

 The objective of the proposed technical solution is to provide smooth adjustment of the load without moving weighted loads by performing load device options to create an adjustable load of the sports simulator using the components of the same type in design and function, such as a U-shaped load element from unauthorized theft of weighted loads, weight loads, lever, guide, elements for the application of the trainee’s efforts, the axis of the simulator body.

Elements for applying the force 10 are located at the end of the lever 4. The device is equipped with a drive 12 (any of the known constructions) for moving the guide 7 relative to the lever 4. The drive 12 can be made, for example, in the form of a screw mechanism (with metric thread and large pitch) (see Fig.2). To visually determine the set value of the load p, the device is equipped with an indicator device 11 of any known construction (for example, in the form of a ruler with divisions graduated in units of mass, depending on the relative linear movement of the guide 7 relative to the lever 4).

 The design of the loading device for creating an adjustable load of the sports simulator according to the third embodiment (see Fig. 3) includes a U-shaped element (to hell, not a designator), rigidly fixed with the lower parts "a" and "b" on the lever 4 installed in the guide 13 (of any known design), swinging relative to the axis 5 of the body of the sports simulator 6. The latches 8 (of any known design) are installed either in the guide 13 or on the lever 4, and weight loads 9, located in percentage terms on the lower parts, "a "And" b "P -shaped element (to hell, not a designator). Elements for applying force 10 are located at the end of the lever 4.

 To visually determine the set value of the load P, an indicator device 11 of any known design is installed (for example, in the form of a ruler with divisions graduated in units of mass, depending on the relative linear movement of the lever 4 relative to the guide 13).

 The design of the load device for creating an adjustable load of the sports simulator (see Fig. 4) according to the fourth embodiment includes a U-shaped element (to hell, not a designator), rigidly fixed with the lower parts "a" and "b" on the lever 4, installed in the guide 13 (of any known design), swinging about the axis 5 of the body of the sports simulator 6. Weighted loads 9 are located in percentage terms on the lower parts, “a” and “b” of the U-shaped element (to hell, not unmarked). Elements for applying the force 10 are located at the end of the lever 4. The device is equipped with a drive 12 (any of the known constructions) for moving the lever 4 relative to the guide 13. The drive 12 can be made, for example, in the form of a screw mechanism (see Fig. 4). To visually determine the set load p, the device is equipped with an indicator device 11 of any known design (for example, in the form of a ruler with divisions graduated in units of mass, depending on the relative linear movement of the lever 4 relative to the guide 13).

 The proposed device according to the first embodiment works as follows:

The magnitude of the required exact load P on the elements for the application of force 10 is regulated in two stages. At the first stage, the necessary value of the main load P is adjusted, which is carried out by setting the weighted loads 9 in the percentage ratio at the lower ends of the “a” and “b” of the left 1 and right 2 L-shaped elements, respectively (see figure 1).

 At the second stage (see Fig. 1), the necessary exact value of the force P is finally set. For this, the latches 8. are weakened. Next, the guide 7 is moved together with the left part 1 of the L-shaped element, on which the weight loads 9 are located to the left or right of the original positions depending on what final exact load P needs to be obtained - less or more than the pre-installed load P, without changing the percentage of the weight of goods 9. Next, you need to fix the latches 8 for rotation from inadvertent movement guide 7 relative to the arm 4 during exercise.

 To change the direction of the load P (see Fig. 5), the trainee moves the guide 7 relative to the lever 4 until the load device is rotated spontaneously (to hell, not the mark) in the opposite direction relative to the last configured position of the load device. In this case, the center of transport, in which the resultant Q of all the gravity forces of the load device is applied (to hell, can not be identified), will move relative to the swing axis 5 to the left or right relative to the last configured position of the load device (to hell, can not be identified).

 Insert 3 serves as a guide for the upper parts "c" of the left 1 and right 2 L-shaped elements.

The work of the load device for creating an adjustable load of the sports simulator according to the second embodiment (see Fig. 2) differs from the first embodiment by using water 12 to move the guide 7 together with the left L-shaped element, on which weight loads 9 are located to the left or to the right of initial position depending on what final exact load P needs to be obtained less or more than a pre-set load P without changing the percentage of weighted loads 9. Drive 12 may be made, for example, in the form of a screw mechanism (see Fig. 2), which also performs the function of a latch (the screw mechanism is self-braking) to prevent spontaneous movement of the guide 7 with weighted loads 9 relative to the lever 4 during execution exercises on the simulator.

 To change the direction of the load P (see Fig. 6), the trainee moves the guide 7 relative to the lever 4 with the help of the drive 12 until the load device spontaneously rotates (to hell, not a mark) relative to axis 5 in the opposite direction relative to the last configured position of the load device. In this case, the center of transport, in which the resultant Q of all the gravity forces of the load device is applied (to hell, not unmarked) will move relative to the swing axis 5 to the left or right relative to the last configured position of the load device (to hell, not unmarked).

 The proposed device according to the third embodiment works as follows (see Fig. 3):

 In the proposed device, the magnitude of the required exact load P on the elements for the application of force 10 is regulated in two stages.

 At the first stage, the necessary value of the main load P is regulated, which is carried out by setting the weighted loads 9 in percentage terms on the left “a” and right “b” parts of the U-shaped element (to hell, not unmarked) (see Fig. 3 )

 At the second stage, the necessary exact value of the force P is finally set. For this, the latches 8 are loosened. Next, the lever 4 is moved relative to the guide 13 to the left or to the right from the initial position, depending on which final exact load is necessary to obtain — less or more than the preset load P , without changing the percentage of weighted goods 9. Next, you need to fix the clamps 8 to prevent from spontaneous movement of the lever 4 relative to the direction number 13 during exercise.

 To change the direction of the load P (see Fig. 7), the trainee moves the lever 4 relative to the guide 13 until the load device is rotated spontaneously (to hell, not unmarked) relative to the swing axis 5 in the opposite direction relative to the last configured position of the load device. In this case, the center of transport, in which the resultant Q of all the gravity forces of the load device is applied (to hell, not unmarked) will move relative to the swing axis 5 to the left or right relative to the last configured position of the load device (to hell, not unmarked).

The operation of the load device in the fourth embodiment (see Fig. 4) execution differs from the third option by the use of the actuator 12 to move the lever 4 with the weighted loads 9 to the left or to the right from the initial position depending on what final exact load P needs to be obtained - less or more than the preset load P, without changing the percentage of the weighted loads 9. When driving 12 can be performed, for example, in the form of a screw mechanism (see Fig. 4), which also performs the function of a latch (the screw mechanism is self-braking) to prevent spontaneous th of the lever 4 with the weighted loads 9 relative to the guide 13 during the simulator exercise.

 To change the direction of the load P (see Fig. 8), the trainee moves the lever 4 relative to the guide 13 until the load device (to hell, unmarked) spontaneously rotates relative to the swing axis 5 in the opposite direction relative to the last configured position of the load device. In this case, the center of transport, in which the resultant Q of all the gravity forces of the load device is applied (to hell, not unmarked) will move relative to the swing axis 5 to the left or right relative to the last configured position of the load device (to hell, not unmarked).

 In the first and second embodiments of the load device for creating an adjustable load of the sports simulator (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2), the trainee visually determines the set value of the load P using the indicator device 11 of any known design (for example, in the form of a ruler with graduated graduated divisions in units of mass, depending on the linear displacement of the guide 7 relative to the lever 4).

 In the third and fourth embodiments of the load device for creating an adjustable load of the sports simulator (see Fig. 3 and Fig. 4), the training person visually determines the set value of the load P using the indicator device 11 of any known design (for example, in the form of a ruler with graduated graduated divisions in units of mass, depending on the relative linear movement of the lever 4 relative to the guide 13).

 Thus, the load device for creating an adjustable load of the sports simulator provides smooth adjustment to a greater or lesser side from the preset load P, corresponding to the percentage ratio of the weight of goods 9.

The alleged invention can be repeatedly made on the basis of materials commercially produced by domestic and foreign industry using modern mastered technology and can be used to train the main muscle groups of adolescents and adults on street sports grounds, which allows us to conclude that the proposed invention meets the criterion of "industrial applicability".
