Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of swimming training equipment, and in particular to a weighted back float. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing swimming back float products are designed for beginners. They typically require a foam board with significant buoyancy to be strapped to the swimmer's back to generate buoyancy and thus assist in buoyancy.
[0003] For high-level swimmers, weighted training is even more necessary. High-level athletes need to maintain a high body position while swimming to minimize water resistance. Weighted training allows them to consciously improve their anti-gravity capabilities in the water, making it easier to reach and exceed their original body position after removing the weights.
[0004] The applicant has discovered at least the following technical problems in the prior art: there is a lack of dedicated weight training equipment on the market. Some coaches use rubber-coated barbell plates to achieve training purposes, but rubber-coated barbell plates are not comfortable to use when tied up. They also require the use of towels or thin foam boards to pad and protect the trainee. In addition, they are not easy to fix and are inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a load-bearing back float to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. The various technical effects of the preferred technical solutions among the many technical solutions provided by this invention are detailed below.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A weighted back float includes a main body, the main body including a first weighted structure, or the main body including a first weighted structure and a second weighted structure built into the first weighted structure, the first weighted structure being made of silicone material, the density of the second weighted structure being greater than the density of the first weighted structure, and the buoyancy of the main body in water being less than its weight.
[0008] Preferably, the second load-bearing structure is a stainless steel plate.
[0009] Preferably, the main body of the structure is a plate-like structure.
[0010] Preferably, the four corners of the main structure are chamfered to form rounded corners.
[0011] Preferably, the main body of the structure is provided with a connecting structure, which is connected to an external binding structure to wear the main body of the structure on the swimmer's body.
[0012] Preferably, the connection structure includes a plurality of connection holes, which are formed through the thickness direction of the main body of the structure.
[0013] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting hole is elliptical.
[0014] Preferably, both the front and back sides of the main structure are smooth planes.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The main body has two structural forms. In the first structural form, the main body only includes the first load-bearing structure. The first load-bearing structure is made of silicone material. The silicone material allows the trainee to wear it more comfortably during training, fits the body better, does not hinder the trainee's swimming movements, and ensures safety during training. At the same time, the weight of the main body is entirely composed of the first load-bearing structure. By selecting silicone material with a certain weight, the buoyancy of the main body in water can be less than its weight, forming a load-bearing structure that can sink in water.
[0016] Alternatively, in the second structural form, the main body of the structure includes a first weight-bearing structure and a second weight-bearing structure built into the first weight-bearing structure. The first weight-bearing structure is made of silicone material, which allows the trainee to wear it more comfortably during training, fits the body better, does not hinder the trainee's swimming movements, and ensures safety during training. At the same time, in order to form weighted floats with different weights, the density of the second weight-bearing structure is greater than that of the first weight-bearing structure. This makes the main body of the structure with the second weight-bearing structure heavier than the main body of the structure that only includes the first weight-bearing structure. This allows weighted floats of the same size to have different weights. By using silicone material with a certain weight to superimpose the second weight-bearing structure with a higher density, the buoyancy of the main body in the water can be less than its weight, forming a weighted structure that can also sink in the water.
[0017] Furthermore, by combining multiple structural components, various different load capacities can be generated, allowing for precise control of the load capacities and enabling accurate and scientific training.
[0018] By using the first and second load-bearing structures, the overall weight of the load-bearing float can be determined more accurately. At the same time, the total weight of the main body with the second load-bearing structure can be adjusted according to the specific structural form and density of the second load-bearing structure.
[0019] Weighted back floats are more suitable for professional advanced swimmers. By adding weight, advanced swimmers can use their own skills and overall abilities to resist the weight of the back float and keep their bodies afloat. After the weighted back float is removed, the swimmer can more easily reach and exceed their original position in the water. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a load-bearing back float, including a structural body 1;
[0029] In this embodiment, the main body 1 has two structural forms. In the first structural form, the main body 1 only includes the first load-bearing structure 11. The first load-bearing structure 11 is made of silicone material. The silicone material allows the trainee to wear it more comfortably during training, fits the body better, does not hinder the trainee's swimming movements, and ensures safety during training. At the same time, the weight of the main body 1 is entirely composed of the first load-bearing structure 11. By selecting silicone material with a certain weight, the buoyancy of the main body 1 in water is less than its weight, forming a load-bearing structure that can sink in water.
[0030] Alternatively, in the second structural form, the main body 1 includes a first weight-bearing structure 11 and a second weight-bearing structure 12 built into the first weight-bearing structure 11. The first weight-bearing structure 11 is made of silicone material, which allows the trainee to wear it more comfortably during training, fits the body better, does not hinder the trainee's swimming movements, and ensures safety during training. At the same time, in order to form weighted floats with different weights, the density of the second weight-bearing structure 12 is greater than the density of the first weight-bearing structure 11. This makes the main body 1 with the second weight-bearing structure 12 heavier than the main body 1 with only the first weight-bearing structure 11, allowing weighted floats of the same size to have different weights.
[0031] In this embodiment, the second load-bearing structure 12 is preferably a stainless steel plate. Compared with silicone, stainless steel has a higher density. By using a silicone material with a certain weight to stack a stainless steel plate with a higher density, the buoyancy of the main body 1 in water is less than its weight, thus forming a load-bearing structure that can also sink in water.
[0032] Furthermore, by combining multiple structural components 1, various different loads can be generated, thereby enabling precise control of the load and achieving accurate and scientific training.
[0033] By using the first load-bearing structure 11 and the second load-bearing structure 12, the total weight of the load-bearing back float can be determined more accurately. At the same time, the total weight of the main body 1 with the second load-bearing structure 12 can be adjusted according to the specific structural form and density of the second load-bearing structure 12.
[0034] In this embodiment, for the main body 1 of the structure that only includes the first load-bearing structure 11, its total weight can preferably be set to one kilogram, and this one kilogram of weight is generated by silicone material.
[0035] For the main body 1 of the structure that includes both the first load-bearing structure 11 and the second load-bearing structure 12, its total weight can preferably be set to two kilograms. This two-kilogram weight is composed of the second load-bearing structure 12 located in the middle part and the first load-bearing structure 11 wrapped around the second load-bearing structure 12.
[0036] In this embodiment, the structure of the weighted back float can still follow the existing swimming auxiliary training equipment style, except that the existing buoyancy function is changed to a weight-bearing function. Its appearance and binding method can still be the same as the existing structure, but the training purpose is different.
[0037] Weighted back floats are more suitable for professional advanced swimmers. By adding weight, advanced swimmers can use their own skills and overall abilities to resist the weight of the back float and keep their bodies afloat. After the weighted back float is removed, the swimmer can more easily reach and exceed their original position in the water.
[0038] As an optional implementation, the main body 1 is a plate-shaped structure. Plate-shaped structures are easier to manufacture and are not much different from existing swimming auxiliary training equipment, which is conducive to trainees' quick learning and use.
[0039] As an optional implementation, the four corners of the main body 1 are chamfered to form rounded corners. The rounded corner design makes the structure smoother and reduces the risk of injury to the trainee.
[0040] As an optional implementation, the main body 1 is provided with a connecting structure 13, which is connected to an external binding structure to wear the main body 1 on the swimmer's body.
[0041] The connecting structure 13 makes it easier to fix the weighted back float to the trainee's body, thus facilitating its use;
[0042] In this embodiment, the connecting structure 13 preferably includes a plurality of connecting holes, which are formed through the thickness direction of the main body 1.
[0043] This design makes the way the weighted back float is worn roughly the same as existing training aids, making it easier for trainees to use.
[0044] In this embodiment, the number of connecting holes is preferably four, and the four connecting holes are evenly distributed on the same straight line along the width direction.
[0045] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting hole is preferably elliptical.
[0046] As an optional implementation, the front and back of the main body 1 are both smooth planes. This design makes the appearance of the weighted back float smoother, and combined with the soft and comfortable effect of the silicone material, it can provide trainees with a more comfortable training state.
[0047] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
