[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
[0026] Examples, such as Figure 1-7As shown, a vaulting platform for sports training includes a main base support plate 1, a lifting and adjusting cylinder 2 fixed on the main base support plate 1, and a liftable load-bearing transition plate 3 fixed on the upper side of the lifting and adjusting cylinder 2. A vaulting platform 4 is detachably connected to the load-bearing transition plate 3. The main base support plate 1 and the load-bearing transition plate 3 can be constructed using existing rectangular steel plates or other rigid plate structures. The lifting and adjusting cylinder 2 can also be a conventional cylinder. The vaulting platform 4 can also be constructed using existing structural plates. The difference lies in the fact that the height of this solution can be adjusted by raising and lowering the lifting and adjusting cylinder 2, similar to the operation of a height-adjustable chair, which is very labor-saving and quick. Furthermore, the design of the load-bearing transition plate 3 allows the vaulting platform 4 to be detachably installed and connected to it, making it more flexible in use and easier to replace and maintain.
[0027] Specifically, the lifting and adjusting cylinder 2 includes a lower cylinder body part 21 and a lifting rod part 22 extending upward from the cylinder body part 21. This is a component of a conventional cylinder. The bottom of the cylinder body part 21 is fixed to the upper surface of the main bottom support plate 1, and the bearing transition plate 3 is fixed to the lifting rod part 22. The fixing method can be achieved by welding or bolt thread connection.
[0028] Furthermore, the top of the lifting rod section 22 has a switch guide rod 23 that extends upwards and controls the lifting and lowering of the lifting rod section 22. The switch guide rod 23 is also a switch for the conventional lifting rod section 22, controlling the opening and closing of the internal air pressure circuit. The switch guide rod 23 exists both inside and outside the top of the lifting rod section 22. Pressing the switch guide rod 23 downwards opens the air passages on both sides of the internal piston rod. Due to the pressure difference on both sides, the lifting rod section 22 will rise. Once it rises to the designated position, the switch guide rod 23 can be reset by operation. At this point, the pressure is maintained, and the height of the lifting rod section 22 is stabilized, which is the same principle as that of a height-adjustable chair. Furthermore, the top part of the lifting rod section 22 extends out of the bearing transition plate 3 and is fixed to the bearing transition plate 3 for easy operation. The outer wall of the lifting rod section 22 can be fixed to the bearing transition plate 3 by welding or other fixing methods. Furthermore, an adjusting rod 24 is connected to the top of the switch bolt guide rod 23, and an upright auxiliary support rod 25 is fixed to the bearing transition plate 3. The adjusting rod 24 and the auxiliary support rod 25 are rotatably connected and cross each other. One end of the adjusting rod 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the switch bolt guide rod 23, and the other end is the operating end. Through the design of the auxiliary support rod 25, the adjusting rod 24 can form a lever operation on the auxiliary support rod 25, which is simple and labor-saving. By pushing the adjusting rod 24 upward, the switch bolt guide rod 23 opens the internal channel, and the lifting rod part 22 rises. When the specified height is reached, pushing the adjusting rod 24 downward moves the switch bolt guide rod 23 downward and closes the internal channel, so that the pressure is maintained, thus maintaining a stable operating state. Of course, during the adjustment process, manual or mechanical downward pressure can be applied to the upper part in conjunction with the lifting rod part 22 to more accurately and slowly adjust to the precise height. To adjust the height downwards, open the switch rod 23, then apply greater downward pressure until the pressure on the lower side of the piston is insufficient to resist the upward force, causing the lifting rod 22 to descend. This can be done by sitting down or using significant mechanical force. Once the adjusted position is achieved, the switch rod 23 returns to its original position and closes, maintaining the pressure for stable use. However, it is crucial to ensure the quality of the cylinder. A poor-quality cylinder may burst when used by a particularly heavy person. Therefore, choose a compliant cylinder to ensure safe operation.
[0029] Preferably, the vaulting board 4 includes a rigid support plate 41 and a flexible support pad 42 connected to the upper side of the rigid support plate 41. The rigid support plate 41 can be a rectangular steel plate or a rigid plastic plate, and the flexible support pad 42 can be an existing flexible pad such as a rubber pad or a sponge pad. The shape is generally rectangular, but the upper side usually needs to be arched slightly.
[0030] Preferably, a support column 43 is fixed to the lower side of the rigid support plate 41. The support column 43 can be fixed to the lower side of the rigid support plate 41 by welding or integral molding. The support column 43 has a first threaded connection hole 401 extending upward from the bottom. The bearing transition plate 3 has a second threaded connection hole 402 that is vertically connected and corresponds to the first threaded connection hole 401. A connecting bolt 403 is passed through the corresponding first threaded connection hole 401 and second threaded connection hole 402. The screw head of the connecting bolt 403 abuts against the lower side of the bearing transition plate 3. During installation, the screw of the connecting bolt 403 is screwed into the second threaded connection hole 402 and the corresponding first threaded connection hole 401 from bottom to top to complete the fixation. Here, it is generally preferred that there are four support columns 43, preferably at the four corners.
[0031] The above-described fixing method is also easy to disassemble because the 403 connecting bolts are easy to install and remove. However, this is a non-elastic structure. Sometimes, vaulting requires training on a flexible vaulting structure, which necessitates another type of flexible, detachable structure. Details are as follows:
[0032] A guide post 51 is fixed to the lower side of the rigid support plate 41. A through hole 501 is provided on the bearing transition plate 3 for the guide post 51 to pass through downwards. An upper spring 511 is sleeved on the guide post 51 between the rigid support plate 41 and the bearing transition plate 3. The outer periphery of the portion of the guide post 51 below the bearing transition plate 3 forms an external thread, and a lower nut 52 is fitted at the external thread. A lower spring 512 is also sleeved on the guide post 51 between the bearing transition plate 3 and the lower nut 52. The upper spring 511 abuts against the rigid support plate 41 and the bearing transition plate 3, and the lower spring 512 abuts against the bearing transition plate 3 and the lower nut 52. The upper and lower elastic structure is more stable. When the trainee jumps onto the vaulting board 4, an elastic reaction force is generated, resulting in an elastic vaulting pattern. This structure is relatively more stable and reliable. Here, four guide posts 51 can also be used and placed at the four corners.
[0033] Preferably, casters 6 are installed on the main bottom support plate 1 to facilitate movement. Here, the casters 6 are preferably equipped with a locking structure. When the machine reaches the designated location, the casters 6 should be locked to prevent rolling, thus ensuring safety during use.
[0034] Furthermore, the entire vaulting platform also includes an auxiliary take-off platform, which includes an auxiliary base plate 71. The rear end of the auxiliary base plate 71 is hinged to a take-off board 72 that is arched upwards. An assist spring 73 is connected between the take-off board 72 and the auxiliary base plate 71. This means that before jumping onto the vaulting board 4, there needs to be elastic force to propel the vaulting platform forward and upward, so that the vaulting platform can jump higher and perform more movements.
[0035] Preferably, the upper surface of the auxiliary base plate 71 has two walking limit grooves 70 extending from the front to the rear, allowing the casters 6 to enter and be limited to the left and right. There are generally four casters 6, two on each side. This limits the left and right movement of the casters 6, preventing them from sliding and improving safety. It also ensures more accurate alignment with the auxiliary take-off platform, resulting in better performance. When in use, pushing the casters 6 into the walking limit grooves 70 makes the vaulting horse structure more stable. The front side of the walking limit grooves 70 can have a downward-sloping ramp to facilitate pushing the casters backward into the grooves. The entire bottom of the rear of the walking limit grooves 70 must be flat to ensure stable support for the vaulting horse.
[0036] Furthermore, the auxiliary base plate 71 is equipped with two limiting plates 81 at the front and rear sides, respectively, which can limit the main base support plate 1. A limiting post 82 is integrally connected to the lower side of each limiting plate 81, and a limiting hole 80 is formed on the upper surface of the auxiliary base plate 71 for the insertion of the limiting post 82. As mentioned above, although the caster 6 can be locked and is limited by the left and right grooves, there is still a possibility of forward and backward movement. Therefore, further limiting at the front and rear sides is needed, which can be achieved through the front and rear limiting plates 81. The above structure also facilitates the insertion and removal of the limiting plates 81, making it relatively convenient to use.
[0037] Through the above design, the vault platform has better adjustability and more diverse uses, making it very suitable for modern sports training.
[0038] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered 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.
