AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing sit-and-reach tests, the tester's irregular posture leads to distorted test results, especially the bending of the legs cannot be effectively recorded.

Method used

Using the lever principle and motion control module, the tester's legs are stretched out to drive the pressure plate to move. The lever transmits power to the motion control module, which controls the rotation of the limit plate to ensure that the score is recorded when the legs are straight. Otherwise, the limit plate is stuck to the push plate under the action of spring force, preventing the score from being recorded.

Benefits of technology

It can automatically standardize the tester's posture during the test, ensure that the results are recorded when the legs are straight, avoid score errors caused by improper posture, and adopt a purely mechanical method, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly and does not rely on electricity.

Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of physical education teaching equipment, and discloses a mechanical sit-and-reach test device that can standardize posture. It has been observed that the main manifestation of the test subject's irregular posture is that the legs appear bent during the test. The present invention can achieve the purpose of limiting the push plate and preventing it from being pushed when the test subject's legs are bent, and can better standardize the test subject's posture. The device includes a base, a scoreboard, a push plate, a lever with adjustable length, a pressure plate, a motion control module, and a limit plate. The motion control module includes a constraint block, a support plate, a rotating plate, a connecting rod, and a spring. The present invention adjusts the lever length so that the pressure plate is located below the test subject's popliteal fossa. When the test subject straightens his legs, the pressure plate is pressed downward, and the limit plate is controlled by the motion control module to move away from the push plate. At this time, the push plate can slide on the scoreboard. When the test subject's legs are bent, the limit plate will limit the movement of the push plate, making it impossible to push the push plate.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sports teaching equipment, in particular to a mechanical sit-and-reach test device capable of regulating posture. Technical Background

[0002] The sit-and-reach exercise is a widely used fitness test at all levels of learning. Standardized movement is a fundamental prerequisite for this exercise. During the actual test, teachers typically observe students to ensure their posture is correct. However, some students' posture is not standardized, rendering the sit-and-reach exercise meaningless. This incorrect posture is primarily manifested by the legs appearing bent during the test. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention adopts the lever principle, uses the tester's legs straightening to drive the pressure plate to move downward as power input, and controls the limit plate to unlock the push plate through the motion control module, so that the results can only be recorded when the tester's legs are in a straight state during the test.

[0004] The present invention is implemented by the following technical solution: a mechanical sit-and-reach test device with standardized posture, whose structure includes: a base, a scoring board, a push plate, a motion control module, a limit plate, a lever, a constraint block, and a pressure plate, characterized in that: the score plate is fixedly mounted on the base; the push plate can slide on the score plate; a rectangular through hole is provided on the score plate; the limit plate is mounted on the motion control module and can rotate around its own center hole and is provided with a row of tooth-shaped protrusions on one side; the rectangular through hole of the score plate can accommodate the up and down movement of the tooth-shaped protrusions of the limit plate; the motion control module is fixed on the base; one end of the lever passes through the motion control module, and the other end is connected to the pressure plate, and the lever is formed with the constraint block as a fulcrum; the constraint block is fixed to the base by bolts.

[0005] Furthermore, the motion control module includes a support plate, a rotating block, a spring, and a connecting rod; the support plate is connected to the base by screws; the limit plate and the rotating block rotate around the center hole on the support plate; the connecting rod is hinged to the rotating block and the limit plate; one end of the lever passes through the hole on one side of the rotating block, and the hole diameter is slightly larger than the lever diameter; the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the rotating block and the support plate.

[0006] Furthermore, a guide groove is provided on the scoreboard, and a plurality of protrusions are provided under the push plate to facilitate the installation of the push plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the scoreboard is provided with a scale for recording scores.

[0008] Furthermore, the length of the lever is adjustable, and the length can be adjusted according to the tester's needs before use, and is suitable for all age groups.

[0009] Furthermore, the pressure plate is provided with a cavity groove, which makes connection and disassembly with the lever more convenient.

[0010] Furthermore, a foot plate is provided on the base.

[0011] When the present invention is in use, the soles of the tester's feet fit against the footrest plate, and the length of the lever is adjusted according to their own needs so that the pressure plate is below the popliteal fossa. Straightening the legs will drive the pressure plate to move downward, and the movement is transmitted to the motion control module through the lever. The motion control module controls the limit plate to rotate clockwise, and the toothed protrusion of the limit plate is away from the protrusion below the push plate. At this time, the push plate can slide along the scoreboard under the push of the tester and record the score. If the tester's legs are bent, under the action of the spring force, the motion control module will control the limit plate to rotate counterclockwise, and the toothed protrusion of the limit plate will be stuck with the protrusion below the push plate. At this time, the push plate will be limited and cannot slide on the scoreboard.

[0012] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: when used, the tester can be tested and scores recorded normally with their legs straight; however, scores cannot be recorded when the tester's legs are bent, effectively standardizing the test posture. The present invention is implemented purely mechanically, is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and does not rely on electricity. The lever length is adjustable, making it suitable for testers of all ages and has a wide range of applications. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
