Device for reproducing omnidirectional walking movement of a user

 

Formula of the invention

 

1. A device for reproducing omnidirectional walking movement of a user, containing a user's workplace, made in the form of two foot platforms, each movably mounted on its own guide, each of which is mounted with one of its end sides on a center common to them, both platforms are equipped with their own mechanism for moving the platform along the guides and contain upper surfaces designed to accommodate the user's feet, while the platforms mounted on their guides are designed with the ability to change the angular rotation relative to each other in two directions around a common center due to the angular rotation mechanism of the guides.

 

2. The device according to paragraph 1, wherein each of the two foot platforms has a mechanism for angular rotation of the upper surface.

 

3. The device according to paragraph 1, differing in that the upper surface of each foot platform is designed with the possibility of angular rotation in the opposite direction relative to the angular rotation of the guides along which the platform moves.

 

4. The device according to paragraph 1, characterized in that it contains a detector unit, which includes devices that track the position of the feet on the upper surfaces and the movement of the user's legs, as well as devices that track the position of the upper surfaces and the horizontal movement of the footrests.

 

5. The device according to paragraph 1, characterized in that it contains an electric drive unit, including a control device and electromechanical components.

 

6. The device according to paragraph 1, characterized in that it contains a device for smooth starting and braking of the foot platforms.

 

7. The device according to paragraph 1, characterized in that the upper surfaces of the foot platforms can be round, oval, rectangular, or rectangular with beveled corners.

 

9. The device according to paragraph 1, characterized in that the upper surfaces are equipped with mechanisms for lifting/lowering and changing the angle of inclination.

 

10. The device according to paragraph 1, characterized in that the guides for moving the foot platforms can be linear or curved.

 

 

Abstract

 

The claimed device relates to training devices. The task that the claimed invention is aimed at solving is to expand the functionality and improve the performance characteristics of the device, as well as to increase the convenience and safety of its use and to increase the realism of omnidirectional walking on it with the implementation of various variations of walking and running. A device for reproducing omnidirectional walking movement of a user, containing a user's workplace, made in the form of two foot platforms, movably mounted on guides, capable of angular rotation in two directions around a center common to them, according to the invention, in the claimed device, each foot platform is mounted on its own guides, allowing angular rotation relative to each other in two directions around a common center on which they are mounted with one of their end sides. The upper part of the foot platform contains a mechanism for angular rotation in both directions. The upper part of the footrest is designed to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the angular rotation of the guides along which it moves. The device contains a detector unit, which includes devices that track the position of the feet on the upper part of the platform and the movement of the user's legs, as well as devices that track the position of the upper surface and the horizontal movement of the foot platforms. The device also contains an electric drive unit, which includes a control device and electromechanical components. The device also contains a device for smooth starting and braking of the foot platforms. In the device, the upper surfaces of the foot platforms can be round, oval, rectangular, or rectangular with bevelled corners. The upper surfaces are equipped with mechanisms for raising/lowering and changing the angle of inclination. The guides for moving the footrests can be linear or curved. 9 p.p. formulas, 4 ill.
