[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of dance mats, and in particular relates to a fall-prevention dance mat for middle-aged and elderly people. Background Art

[0002] Dancing not only strengthens the body and cultivates temperament, but also improves character and builds character, making it a fashionable way to stay fit. Many middle-aged and elderly people also enjoy dancing to stay healthy. However, due to their poor balance, they are more likely to fall while dancing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dance mat that can prevent falls for middle-aged and elderly people. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In response to the problems in the related art, the present invention proposes a fall-prevention dance mat for middle-aged and elderly people to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related art.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] The present invention is a fall-prevention dance mat for middle-aged and elderly people, comprising a base mat, a mat surface, and a controller. The base mat and the mat surface are detachably connected via a connector. A pressure sensing layer is embedded between the base mat and the mat surface, and a pressure sensor array for pressure detection is installed within the pressure sensing layer.

[0006] The controller is connected to the pressure sensor array signal, and a data analysis module is installed in the controller. The data analysis module can perform gait analysis based on the pressure information detected by the pressure sensor array. The surface of the controller is equipped with a display screen, control buttons and a voice player connected to the data analysis module;

[0007] Armrests are also installed on both sides of the bottom cushion.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom pad is a non-slip rubber pad, and the bottom surface of the bottom pad is provided with non-slip grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, the blanket surface is made of Oxford cloth or PVC material.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting piece is a Velcro or a zipper.

[0011] Furthermore, an intermediate shock-absorbing layer is installed between the bottom pad and the carpet surface, and the intermediate shock-absorbing layer is made of 15-20 mm thick pearl cotton or EVA foam.

[0012] Furthermore, the armrest is a U-shaped structure, and both ends of the armrest are fixedly mounted on a support plate, and the support plate is rotatably connected to the side of the base cushion through a hinge.

[0013] Furthermore, the armrest is a telescopic armrest made of lightweight aluminum alloy material.

[0014] Furthermore, a projector is installed on the controller.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this invention, a pressure sensor array is embedded in the dance mat to monitor foot pressure distribution and gait stability in real time, and a gait analysis report is generated through the data analysis module in the controller. When the sensor detects an abnormal center of gravity (such as leaning back or tilting), the controller immediately triggers a voice reminder (such as "Please adjust your center of gravity") to help middle-aged and elderly people react quickly, thereby improving stability while dancing and preventing falls.

[0017] 2. In the present invention, handrails are provided on both sides of the dance mat. When middle-aged and elderly people lose their balance during the dance, they can hold on to the handrails for auxiliary support, thereby preventing them from falling.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inside" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the invention.

[0027] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the present invention is a fall-prevention dance mat for middle-aged and elderly people, comprising a base mat 1, a mat surface 2, and a controller 6. The base mat 1 and the mat surface 2 are detachably connected via a connector 3. A pressure sensing layer 13 is embedded and installed between the base mat 1 and the mat surface 2. A pressure sensor array 14 for pressure detection is installed in the pressure sensing layer 13. The controller 6 is signal-connected to the pressure sensor array 14. A data analysis module is installed in the controller 6. The data analysis module can perform gait analysis based on the pressure information detected by the pressure sensor array 14. A display screen 7, control buttons 8, and a voice player 9 connected to the data analysis module are installed on the surface of the controller 6. Handrails 4 are also installed on both sides of the base mat 1.

[0028] When middle-aged and elderly people dance on the carpet surface 2, the pressure sensor array 14 in the pressure sensing layer 13 can monitor the foot pressure distribution and gait stability in real time, and generate a gait analysis report through the data analysis module in the controller 6. When an abnormal center of gravity (such as leaning back or tilting) is detected and analyzed, the controller 6 immediately triggers a voice reminder, and then plays a voice reminder (such as "Please adjust the center of gravity") through the voice player 9 to help the middle-aged and elderly people react quickly, thereby improving their stability when dancing and preventing falls; and when the middle-aged and elderly people lose their balance during the dance, they can hold the handrail 4 and use the handrail 4 for auxiliary support to prevent falls.

[0029] Specifically, the bottom pad 1 is a non-slip rubber pad, and the bottom surface of the bottom pad 1 is provided with anti-slip grooves 11. The rubber pad itself has good anti-slip performance. By providing the anti-slip grooves 11, the anti-slip performance of the bottom pad 1 can be further improved, preventing the dance mat from sliding and displacing during use, thereby improving the stability of the dance mat.

[0030] Specifically, the carpet surface 2 is made of Oxford cloth or PVC material, which is both anti-slip and durable, and suitable for frequent use.

[0031] Specifically, the connecting member 3 is a Velcro or a zipper, and the base pad 1 and the carpet surface 2 can be quickly disassembled or connected through the connecting member 3, so that the carpet surface 2 can be easily removed and cleaned.

[0032] Specifically, an intermediate shock-absorbing layer 12 is installed between the base pad 1 and the carpet surface 2. The intermediate shock-absorbing layer 12 adopts 15-20mm thick pearl cotton or EVA foam. The cushioning and shock absorption of the intermediate shock-absorbing layer 12 can reduce the impact on joints during dancing, while reducing noise and avoiding affecting neighbors.

[0033] Specifically, the armrest 4 is a U-shaped structure, and both ends of the armrest 4 are fixedly mounted on the support plate 5. The support plate 5 is rotatably connected to the side of the base pad 1 through a hinge. When the dance mat is in use, the support plate 5 is supported on the ground, which can stably support the armrest 4 and improve the stability of the armrest 4. When it needs to be stored, the support plate 5 and the armrest 4 can be folded and stored on the bottom surface of the base pad 1, thereby facilitating the storage of the dance mat.

[0034] Specifically, the armrest 4 is a telescopic armrest made of lightweight aluminum alloy material, which can reduce the weight of the armrest 4 and facilitate transportation and use. At the same time, the height of the armrest 4 can be adjusted telescopically to meet different user needs.

[0035] Specifically, the controller 6 is also equipped with a projector 10, which can project a virtual path of dance steps on the ground or wall, so that middle-aged and elderly people can walk or dance along the path, which has a teaching effect and gradually improves their balance ability.
