Balance training apparatus for slide and swing exercise and method

Abstract

The balance training apparatus includes a baseboard and a left-and-right swing module is connected between the front and rear sides of the baseboard. The left-and-right swing module has a driving mechanism pivotally connected to a back-and-forth slide and swing module for driving a back-and-forth slide and swing module to produce back-and-forth slides and up-and-down swings with respect to the left-and-right swing module. A driving mechanism drives an eccentric shaft through a transmission disc, and another end of the spindle eccentric shaft is pivotally connected to a link board module of the base module. The motor drives the eccentric shaft to produce left and right titled swings to the left-and-right swing module baseboard. An adjusting device is installed between the baseboard of the left-and-right swing module and the back-and-forth slide and swing module for driving the back-and-forth slide and swing module to displace back and forth on the baseboard.

       4 . The balance training apparatus as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the adjusting mechanism has a motor installed at a lateral side of the left-and-right swing module baseboard, and the motor is latched and connected to a screw rod with an end pivotally connected to a baseboard of the left-and-right swing module through an axle rod of a decelerating mechanism, and a driving member is fixed onto the bottom of the back-and-forth slide and swing module and sheathed onto a screw rod of the adjusting mechanism. 
   
   
       5 . The balance training apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base module has a link board module with a pivotal ear base disposed on a lateral side of the base stand, and a guide pin base with a guide slot pivotally connected to the pivotal ear base. 
   
   
       6 . The balance training apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the driving mechanism comprises a motor, a decelerating mechanism, a transmission disc driving module and a plurality of driving members, and a transmission disc driving module is sheathed into the axial center of the decelerating mechanism by a transmission shaft, and a driving member is installed separately on both ends of the transmission shaft, and another end of the driving member is pivotally coupled to the back-and-forth slide and swing module. 
   
   
       7 . The balance training apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the transmission disc driving module has a plurality of poking rods protruded equidistantly from the periphery of the transmission disc driving module, and the transmission disc driving module has a transmission disc, and a plurality of serrated grooves disposed equidistantly on the periphery of the transmission disc driving module for latching a poking rod with a corresponding transmission disc serrated groove. 
   
   
       8 . The balance training apparatus as claimed in  claims 5 , wherein the transmission disc has a semicircular axle hole, for passing an eccentric protruding pillar protruded from an end of a pivotal axle into a semicircular axle hole of the transmission disc, and another end of the pivotal axle is passed correspondingly into a guide slot of the guide pin base of the link board module. 
   
   
       9 . The balance training apparatus as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the number of poking rods of the transmission disc driving module and the number of serrated grooves of the transmission disc are installed in the ratio of 1:2. 
   
   
       10 . The balance training apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the back-and-forth slide and swing module comprises first and second slide bases and a swing stand pivotally coupled with each other, and the first and second slide bases are formed by connecting a plurality of board stands, and the first slide base is pivotally coupled to the left-and-right swing module baseboard, and the middle of the top of the first slide base is connected to the second slide base through a plurality of board stands, and the top of the second slide base is pivotally coupled to a swing stand.
