[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments with the same support structure as the present embodiment obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a balancing pad suitable for different balancing functions to solve the problems existing in the prior art. The pad utilizes the inflation and deflation space to achieve changes in surface elasticity and shape, thereby enabling training for different stages of balancing functions, improving the scope of application, and having the advantage of low cost.

[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a balance cushion suitable for different balance functions is provided, comprising a support body 1, a first elastic layer 2, and a second elastic layer 3. The first elastic layer 2 is provided on the upper surface of the support body 1, and the second elastic layer 3 is provided on the lower surface of the support body 1. The first elastic layer 2 and the second elastic layer 3 can be made of rubber, or in other embodiments, PVC. A first inflatable and deflation space is formed between the first elastic layer 2 and the support body 1, and a second inflatable and deflation space is formed between the second elastic layer 3 and the support body 1. Both the first inflatable and deflation space are connected to an external inflation device via an inflation nozzle 4. As the inflation level of the first and second inflatable and deflation spaces changes, the overall shape and elasticity of the balance cushion suitable for different balance functions change, thereby enabling training for different balance function stages. This device has a wider range of applications and can effectively reduce costs compared to complex balance function trainers. The inflation nozzle 4 is a channel integrally formed on the elastic layer, with a removable sealing plug at the outer end. The external inflation device can be an electric air pump or a manual air pump.

[0029] The outer surfaces of the first elastic layer 2 and the second elastic layer 3 are both provided with anti-slip grooves to prevent the trainee from slipping during balance training.

[0030] The edges of the first elastic layer 2 and the second elastic layer 3 can be glued and set on the support body 1 to achieve connection and seal to prevent air leakage. At the same time, the two can be connected by bolts on the basis of gluing to improve connection stability.

[0031] In this embodiment, the support body 1 includes an annular support member 5, a first support surface 6 and a second support surface 7. One end of the annular support member 5 is opened to provide the first support surface 6, and the other end is opened to provide the second support surface 7. The first support surface 6 is arranged close to the first elastic layer 2. The material of the first support surface 6 is rubber. In other embodiments with the same structure as the support body 1 of this embodiment, the material of the first support surface 6 can be PVC; the elasticity of the first support surface 6 is lower than the elasticity of the first elastic layer 2, that is, the rubber density of the first support surface 6 is higher. By setting the first elastic layer 2 to rubber, its airtightness can be utilized to achieve the separation of the first inflation and deflation space from the second inflation and deflation space, and its own elasticity can also be utilized so that when the first inflation and deflation space is in an uninflated state, the first support surface 6 can still provide a certain elastic surface for the trainee to perform simple balance training.

[0032] The edge of the first supporting surface 6 is glued to the annular supporting member 5, and the connection between the two can be reinforced by bolt connection.

[0033] The second support surface 7 is a hard support surface or an elastic support surface, wherein the material of the hard support surface can be plastic or metal; the material of the elastic support surface can be rubber whose elasticity is lower than that of the first elastic layer 2. In other embodiments with the same structure as the support body 1 of this embodiment, other elastic surfaces that can provide elasticity lower than that of the first elastic layer 2 can also be selected, such as the bed structure of a trampoline or a PVC surface layer, etc. In this case, the second support surface 7 can also be used to provide a surface with a certain elasticity for the trainee to perform simple balance training. At this time, when using this device, the user does not need to determine whether the first support surface 6 or the second support surface 7 is facing upward, and both surfaces can be used.

[0034] When the second support surface 7 is made of a hard material, its edge is connected to the annular support member 5 by gluing or bolting; when the second support surface 7 is made of an elastic material, the edge of the second support surface 7 is glued to the annular support member 5, and the connection between the two can be reinforced by bolting.

[0035] In this embodiment, the annular support member 5 is a cylindrical structure. In other embodiments, the annular support member 5 may also be a square cylindrical structure, a polygonal cylindrical structure, etc.

[0036] The annular support member 5 is made of plastic or metal to provide stable support.

[0037] During actual use, the device can control the inflation and deflation of the first inflatable and deflated space and the second inflatable and deflated space to correspond to three training states. The first state is that both the first inflatable and deflated space and the second inflatable and deflated space are not inflated. At this time, when the trainee is training balance, what affects it is the elasticity of the first support surface 6; the second state is that the first inflatable and deflated space is inflated, and the second inflatable and deflated space is not inflated. At this time, when the trainee is training balance, what affects it is the elasticity of the first elastic layer 2 and the second elastic layer 3 and the shape of the balance cushion after inflation, which is suitable for different balance functions as a whole; the difficulty of the three training states increases successively, corresponding to the training of different balance function stages.

The first support surface 6 is arranged close to the first elastic layer 2. The first support surface 6 is PVC mesh cloth, nylon cloth or elastic rope net, which is similar to the bed surface structure of a trampoline, wherein the elastic rope net is a mesh structure formed by cross-laying multiple elastic ropes, and the edge of the first support surface 6 is fixed to the annular support member 5 by bolts.

[0045] The second support surface 7 is a hard support surface or an elastic support surface, wherein the material of the hard support surface can be plastic or metal; the elastic support surface can be PVC mesh cloth, nylon cloth or elastic rope net, etc., which are similar to the bed surface structure of a trampoline.
