Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of balance boards, specifically a standing balance board. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are two traditional types of balance boards on the market: one is a fully curved balance board (also called a seesaw), which is usually manufactured using simple injection molding, or by hot pressing multi-layer boards through a bending mold. This type of balance board is generally suitable for early childhood sensory integration training and balance development for infants and children. The other type consists of a multi-layered wooden board and a cylindrical roller. The multi-layered board is placed on the cylindrical roller, and the trainee stands on the board to maintain balance, thus improving body balance. However, both have drawbacks. The former is only suitable for early childhood education for infants and children, and its effect on adults is not obvious. The latter is more difficult to use, requiring a high level of skill and basic balance from beginners, and it is easy to fall if one does not step firmly. Utility Model Content
[0003] To achieve the above objectives, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a standing balance board that effectively solves the problems of difficulty for beginners, universality for different users, and limited effectiveness in improving core balance. This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0004] A standing balance board includes multiple arc-shaped panels, arc-shaped plates, elastic ropes, and a hollow shaft. Each arc-shaped plate and the arc-shaped panel has a central hole and a rope-passing hole. The hollow shaft passes through the central holes of all the arc-shaped plates, which are connected in a mirror-symmetrical manner. A double-ended screw is fitted inside the hollow shaft with a clearance fit. Arc-shaped panels are connected to the outermost arc-shaped plates. A sleeve is installed in the central hole of each arc-shaped panel, and the arc-shaped panel fits into the double-ended screw. The length of the hollow shaft is no greater than the sum of the thicknesses of all the arc-shaped plates. A nut is connected to the double-ended screw. The sleeve is fitted with a washer, and the nut and sleeve are clearance-fitted. Elastic ropes are sequentially threaded through the rope holes of all curved panels and plates. Both ends of the elastic rope are equipped with locking devices and secured with screws. The working principle of this product is as follows: both the hollow shaft and the double-ended screw are rotational centers. The curved plates can rotate on the hollow shaft. The main function of the elastic rope is to stretch and reset. The dual-axis rotation of the hollow shaft and double-ended screw strengthens the deformation resistance of the rotational center, reduces frictional resistance, lowers operating noise, and prevents jamming of the curved plates during oscillation. When both feet are placed on the product, they can oscillate up and down, left and right, and forward and backward. Under the tension of the elastic rope, the soles of the feet receive effective feedback, providing a massage effect.
[0005] As a further embodiment of this utility model: both the curved panel and the curved plate are made of wood chips, the sleeve is made of metal, and the elastic rope is made of PU material.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the number of arc plates is 16, and the arc plates are 8 pairs of arc plates of different sizes, with the two arc plates in each pair having the same size.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the double-ended screw is a solid screw, the nut is a locking nut, and the screw is a set screw.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the locking nut is connected to the solid screw via a locking thread connection.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] This product fundamentally changes the overall structure of traditional balance boards, transforming them from simple curved wooden boards into three-dimensional balance boards composed of multiple longitudinally spliced curved boards. The bottom of the balance board is formed by curved boards of different sizes, creating a spherical base that rolls into contact with the ground. Compared to traditional balance boards, this structure represents a significant leap forward in its basic functions. The overall spherical radius is larger, and the central rotation axis makes the balance board more agile, making it easier for beginners to get on and less prone to tipping over or falling, even for newborns. In addition to improving balance, it also provides a massage and stress-relieving effect. It not only trains left-right balance but also forward and backward balance, improving core balance and lower limb ankle strength. It is suitable for standing office work, home relaxation, massage and stress relief, fitness training, rehabilitation exercises, ADHD treatment, ankle strength training, and coordination training.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Existing products have relatively limited design and functionality, only allowing for side-to-side swaying movements and balance training, and are somewhat selective in their user groups. This product, however, is easy for beginners to use, providing relaxation and stress relief, joint mobility, improved balance and lower limb muscle training, and enhanced blood circulation. This multi-purpose product is particularly beneficial for office workers who sit for long periods; when used with a height-adjustable desk, it provides a comfortable place for the legs. It is also especially suitable for individuals with ADHD, helping them say goodbye to leg shaking – a boon for those with ADHD. For those with knee injuries, this balance board can be used for rehabilitation exercises. Dancers frequently use this product for training, as it improves the fluidity of their footwork.
[0018] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a standing balance board, including an arc-shaped panel 1, arc-shaped plates 2, elastic ropes 10, and a hollow shaft 3. Multiple arc-shaped plates 2 are provided, and both the arc-shaped plates 2 and the arc-shaped panel 1 have a central hole and a rope-threading hole. The hollow shaft 3 passes through the central holes of all the arc-shaped plates 2, and the arc-shaped plates 2 are connected in a mirror-symmetrical manner. A double-ended screw 4 is fitted inside the hollow shaft 3 with a clearance fit, allowing the double-ended screw 4 to rotate within the hollow shaft 3. Arc-shaped panels 1 are connected to the outermost arc-shaped plates 2. A sleeve 7 is installed in the central hole of the arc-shaped panel 1, and the arc-shaped panel 1 is fitted into the double-ended screw 4. The length of the hollow shaft 3 is not greater than the sum of the thicknesses of all the arc-shaped plates 2. A nut 6 is connected to the double-ended screw 4, and a washer 5 is fitted on the nut 6. The nut 6 and the sleeve 7 are fitted with a clearance fit, allowing the sleeve 7 to rotate within the nut 6. The elastic rope 10 is sequentially threaded through the rope-threading holes of all the arc-shaped panels 1 and arc-shaped plates 2. Both ends of the elastic rope 10 are equipped with locking devices 8 and are secured with screws 9. The installation method of this product is as follows: In the non-working state, all the rope holes are on the same straight line. The locking devices 8 are inserted into both ends of the elastic rope 10, and the screws 9 are screwed into the threaded holes of the locking devices 8 to fully fix the elastic rope 10 to the locking devices 8. Then, on the other side of the arc panel 1, the locking devices 8 are inserted into the other end of the elastic rope 10. The elastic rope 10 is tightened, and the screws 9 are screwed into the locking devices 8 to achieve locking and fixation. The working principle of this product is as follows: The hollow shaft 3 and the double-ended screw 4 are both rotation center shafts. The arc plate 2 can rotate on the hollow shaft 3. The main function of the elastic rope 10 is to stretch and reset. The dual-axis rotation of the hollow shaft 3 and the double-ended screw 4 can strengthen the deformation resistance of the rotation center shaft, reduce frictional resistance, reduce working noise, and prevent the arc plate 2 from jamming during swinging operation. When you step on the product, you can swing your feet up and down, left and right, and back and forth. Under the tension of the elastic rope 10, the soles of your feet can receive effective feedback and have a massage effect.
[0020] In one embodiment of this utility model, both the arc panel 1 and the arc plate 2 are made of wood chips, which have good performance, low overall weight, and readily available materials. The sleeve 7 is made of metal material, which has a long service life. The elastic rope 10 is made of PU material. Using PU elastic rope 10 for locking is more sensitive than using screws for fixing, resulting in a larger swing amplitude and better feedback effect on the sole of the foot.
[0021] In one embodiment of this utility model, the number of arc-shaped plates 2 is 16, consisting of 8 pairs of arc-shaped plates 2 of different sizes. Each pair of arc-shaped plates 2 has two identical arc-shaped plates 2, resulting in good overall performance. Alternatively, there can be 6 pairs of arc-shaped plates 2 of different sizes; the specific number can be adjusted according to the user's needs.
[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, the double-ended screw 4 is a solid screw, the nut 6 is a locking nut, and the screw 9 is a set screw. The components are readily available and have good performance. The hollow shaft 3 has a very smooth surface and has undergone heat treatment. Usually, a solid thin shaft cannot meet the load-bearing requirements. After prolonged use, the shaft is prone to bending and deformation, which affects the user experience. However, the smooth hollow shaft 3 after heat treatment makes the product have a longer service life and reduces the after-sales failure rate.
[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, the locking nut is connected to the solid screw through a locking thread connection, which provides a good locking effect and prevents the two from easily separating.
[0024] It should be noted that, in this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "fixed," "set up," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to welded connections, bolted connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
