Description

« Dispositif destiné notamment à Γ entraînement sportif »  "Device intended in particular for" sports training "
La présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné notamment à l'entraînement sportif, comportant un système d'exercice sur lequel un sportif agit pour créer un déplacement fictif avec une certaine vitesse, selon un certain positionnement. The present invention relates to a device intended in particular for sports training, comprising an exercise system on which an athlete acts to create a fictitious displacement with a certain speed, according to a certain positioning.
Ce genre de dispositif trouve des applications importantes pour faciliter l'entraînement des sportifs et plus particulièrement l'entraînement sur bicyclette pour lequel le système d'exercice est formé à partir d'un pédalier entraînant une roue d'inertie.  This type of device finds important applications to facilitate the training of athletes and more particularly the bicycle training for which the exercise system is formed from a pedal unit driving a wheel of inertia.
Il va de soi que l'invention peut s'appliquer à toute autre sorte d'entraînement, comme par exemple la course à pied où dans ce cas le système d'exercice est constitué par un tapis roulant à une vitesse fonction des mouvements du coureur. Une autre application est l'entraînement des rameurs sur bateau. Là, le système de mouvement est constitué par des manches simulant des rames que le rameur doit manœuvrer pour faire déplacer le bateau.  It goes without saying that the invention can be applied to any other kind of training, such as running where in this case the exercise system is constituted by a treadmill at a speed depending on the movements of the runner . Another application is the training of rowers on boat. Here, the movement system consists of sleeves simulating oars that the rower must maneuver to move the boat.
Un tel dispositif est décrit dans le brevet EP n° 1 813 313.  Such a device is described in EP Patent No. 1,813,313.
Dans ce dispositif, le sportif visualise un paysage dans lequel il se meut. Cependant ce document de brevet ne donne pas toutes les conditions de réalisme souhaitables pour un bon entraînement.  In this device, the athlete visualizes a landscape in which he moves. However this patent document does not give all the realism conditions desirable for a good training.
L'invention propose un dispositif du genre mentionné dans le préambule qui procure des conditions supplémentaires pour un entraînement efficace.  The invention provides a device of the kind mentioned in the preamble which provides additional conditions for effective training.
Conformément à l'invention, le dispositif selon le préambule est remarquable en ce qu'il comporte une base de données relative audit déplacement dans laquelle sont insérées des informations de positionnement pour déterminer ledit positionnement. According to the invention, the device according to the preamble is remarkable in that it comprises a database relating to said displacement in which positioning information is inserted to determine said positioning.
Ainsi, l'invention permet au sportif de prendre différentes positions qu'ils rencontrent dans la réalité et lui permet ainsi de faire travailler de façon différentes ses muscles. La description suivante accompagnée des dessins ci-annexés, le tout donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera bien comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée. Dans les dessins :  Thus, the invention allows the athlete to take different positions they encounter in reality and allows him to work differently his muscles. The following description accompanied by the accompanying drawings, all given by way of non-limiting example, will make it clear how the invention can be realized. In the drawings:

Sur ces figures, les éléments communs portent tous les mêmes références sur toutes les figures.  In these figures, the common elements all have the same references in all the figures.
A la figure 1, la référence 1 indique un système d'exercice 2 destiné à un sportif. Ce système est, dans ce premier mode de réalisation, un vélo d'entraînement à roue d'inertie. Il est formé d'une selle 5 d'un guidon 6 d'un pédalier 8. Le pédalier 8 est relié à une roue d'inertie 10 par l'intermédiaire d'une chaîne ou d'une courroie 11. Tous ces éléments sont fixés sur un cadre formé d'un premier tube 15 sur lequel est ajustée la selle 5, d'un deuxième tube 16 sur lequel est fixé le guidon 6 et sur lequel sont soudés le premier tube 15 et un troisième tube 17. C'est sur ce troisième tube 17 qu'est fixé l'axe de la roue à inertie 10. Cette roue à inertie est entraînée en rotation au moyen du pédalier 8 fixé sur le tube 16. Un quatrième tube 18 réunit les deux tubes 16 et 17 au niveau de leurs extrémités inférieures. Le tout repose sur une assise 22. Il est prévu aussi un écran de visualisation 25 de façon à faire défiler un paysage. Cet écran est fixé sur un tube 26 reposant sur l'assise 22.  In Figure 1, the reference 1 indicates an exercise system 2 for an athlete. This system is, in this first embodiment, a drive bike with a flywheel. It is formed of a saddle 5 of a handlebar 6 of a pedal 8. The pedal 8 is connected to an inertia wheel 10 by means of a chain or a belt 11. All these elements are fixed on a frame formed of a first tube 15 on which is adjusted the saddle 5, a second tube 16 on which is fixed the handlebar 6 and on which are welded the first tube 15 and a third tube 17. This is on this third tube 17 that is fixed the axis of the flywheel 10. This inertia wheel is rotated by means of the pedal 8 fixed on the tube 16. A fourth tube 18 joins the two tubes 16 and 17 to level of their lower extremities. The whole is based on a seat 22. It is also provided a viewing screen 25 so as to scroll a landscape. This screen is fixed on a tube 26 resting on the seat 22.
Conformément à un aspect de l'invention, il est proposé de modifier la position du cadre. On distingue une position dite en inclinaison ou élévation pour simuler la pente d'un trajet; c'est le cas où le sportif grimpe ou descend une côte, ou même pédale sur une route plane.  According to one aspect of the invention, it is proposed to change the position of the frame. A so-called inclination or elevation position is distinguished to simulate the slope of a path; this is the case where the athlete climbs or descends a hill, or even pedal on a flat road.
Pour réaliser ceci, on a prévu un premier mécanisme de rotule 30 situé au niveau d'un point de jonction des tubes 18 et 16 et un deuxième mécanisme de rotule 32 situé lui, au niveau d'un point de jonction des tubes 17 et 18. Un mécanisme de soulèvement- abaissement 35 agit sur la rotule 32 pour la déplacer verticalement. Sur la figure 1 , la rotule 32 est située en son point le plus bas. Le mécanisme de soulèvement-abaissement 35 comportent des jambes 44 et 45 qui sont réunies à leurs parties supérieures à cette rotule 32 et à leurs parties inférieures à un dispositif d'entraînement 46 qui rapprochent ces parties inférieures pour simuler une montée ou qui les éloignent pour simuler une descente . La position intermédiaire étant la simulation d 'une route plane . Le dispositif d'entraînement 46 est formé par un vérin à commande qui fait déplacer, donc, les parties inférieures desdites jambes 44 et 45 en fonction d'une commande d'inclinaison, qui lui est appliquée. Un dispositif de contrainte 50, constitué, ici, par un frein freine la roue libre 10 en fonction d'informations. To achieve this, there is provided a first ball mechanism 30 located at a junction point of the tubes 18 and 16 and a second ball mechanism 32 located there, at a junction point of the tubes 17 and 18 A lifting-lowering mechanism 35 acts on the ball 32 to move it vertically. In Figure 1, the ball 32 is located at its lowest point. The lifting-lowering mechanism 35 comprises legs 44 and 45 which are joined at their upper parts to this ball 32 and their lower parts to a driving device 46 which bring these lower parts together to simulate a climb or to move them away for simulate a descent. The intermediate position is the simulation of a flat road. The drive device 46 is formed by a control cylinder which moves, therefore, the lower portions of said legs 44 and 45 according to a tilt control, which is applied thereto. A constraint device 50, constituted here by a brake brakes the freewheel 10 as a function of information.
La figure 2 montre la position du cadre correspondant à une montée de la route sur laquelle le sportif est censé circuler. Dans ce cas les jambes 43 et 44 sont rapprochées faisant monter la rotule 32. L'avant du vélo est donc soulevé ce qui est bien le cas lorsque l'on se trouve dans une côte.  Figure 2 shows the position of the frame corresponding to a rise of the road on which the athlete is supposed to circulate. In this case the legs 43 and 44 are brought together by raising the ball 32. The front of the bike is raised which is the case when you are in a hill.
Un système de commande 55 régit le fonctionnement du dispositif de l'invention 1. Ce système utilise comme paramètres d'entrée :  A control system 55 governs the operation of the device of the invention 1. This system uses as input parameters:
- un film concernant un paysage préalablement filmé dans lequel le sportif est supposé évoluer. Ce film est enregistré sur un support à gravure optique lu dans un lecteur 57. Sur ce support sont enregistrées en outre des informations de pentes et/ou de contraintes.  - a film about a previously filmed landscape in which the athlete is supposed to evolve. This film is recorded on an optical engraving medium read in a reader 57. In this medium are further recorded slope information and / or constraints.
- une indication de vitesse ou une indication de distance fournie par un compteur de vitesse/distance 60 qui permet de régler le défilement du paysage.  a speed indication or a distance indication provided by a speed / distance counter 60 which makes it possible to adjust the scrolling of the landscape.

La figure 3 montre une variante de réalisation selon laquelle on permet d'autoriser une certaine variation de la gite, comme cela peut se produire sur des virages. Pour cela, on a prévu un amortisseur 85 fixé sur l'assise 22, agissant en un point du tube 18 au niveau de la rotule 30 par une partie d'appui 86 coulissant dans une ouverture ménagée sur une pièce de fixation 87 rattachée au tube 18. L'action de l'amortisseur 85 permet ainsi d'autoriser une certaine gite du vélo en fonction de la réaction du sportif monté sur le vélo. Figure 3 shows an alternative embodiment that allows to allow some variation of the cottage, as can occur on turns. For this, there is provided a damper 85 fixed on the seat 22, acting at a point of the tube 18 at the ball 30 by a bearing portion 86 sliding in an opening on a workpiece fastening 87 attached to the tube 18. The action of the damper 85 allows to allow a certain cottage bike according to the reaction of the athlete mounted on the bike.
La figure 4 montre une autre variante de réalisation du dispositif conformément à l'invention. Selon cette variante, le système d'exercice est constitué par un tapis roulant dont une extrémité est reliée à la rotule 30 et l'autre au mécanisme de soulèvement- abaissement 35.  Figure 4 shows another alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention. According to this variant, the exercise system is constituted by a treadmill whose one end is connected to the ball 30 and the other to the lifting-lowering mechanism 35.
La figure 5 montre d'une manière schématique la structure du système de commande 55. Ce système est bâti autour d'un processeur de signal 100. Autour de ce processeur, on trouve de la manière habituelle, un ensemble de mémoire fixe 102 genre mémoire à lecture seule plutôt destiné à contenir les instructions qui permettent de faire fonctionner le système 55, un ensemble de mémoire de type RAM, un circuit d'interface 1 10 pour fournir les données aux différents composants du dispositif, c'est à dire au mécanisme de soulèvement-abaissement 35, au dispositif de contrainte 50 et à l'écran 25. Le circuit d'interface permet aussi de recevoir les données fournies par le compteur de vitesse/déplacement 60. Les données concernant le paysage sont fournies par le lecteur de disque 57 par l 'intermédiaire d'un circuit d ' interface lecteur 112. Le support d'enregistrement que le lecteur traite contient différentes informations concernant le paysage avec les données de pente et de contrainte. Ces données sont enregistrées sous le format AVI qui permet l'enregistrement d'images avec d'autres informations à plus bas débit en synchronisme.  FIG. 5 schematically shows the structure of the control system 55. This system is built around a signal processor 100. Around this processor, there is in the usual manner, a set of fixed memory 102 kind memory read-only rather intended to contain the instructions that make it possible to operate the system 55, a set of RAM-type memory, an interface circuit 1 to supply the data to the various components of the device, ie to the mechanism The interface circuit also allows the data provided by the speed / displacement counter 60 to be received. The landscape data is provided by the reader of the data. disk 57 via a reader interface circuit 112. The recording medium that the reader is processing contains different information about the landscape with the pen data. te and stress. This data is saved in the AVI format which allows the recording of images with other information at lower bit rate in synchronism.
Le système 55 contient aussi un générateur d'interruption 1 15 qui fournit des impulsions d'interruption au processeur 100 de sorte que celui-ci puisse dérouler un même programme à l'apparition de chacune d'entre elles. Ce programme accède aux informations contenues dans le support optique du lecteur 57 pour agir sur le comportement du dispositif de l'invention. Il doit être exécuté à une fréquence supérieure ou égale à la fréquence des images filmées du paysage.  The system 55 also contains an interrupt generator 1 15 which provides interrupt pulses to the processor 100 so that it can roll out a same program at the appearance of each of them. This program accesses the information contained in the optical medium of the reader 57 to influence the behavior of the device of the invention. It must be executed at a frequency greater than or equal to the frequency of the filmed images of the landscape.
La figure 6 explicite comment le format AVI est exploité dans le cadre de l'invention. On distingue une partie PICT qui contient les images représentant le paysage qui vont être visualisées sur l'écran 25. Une deuxième partie ALT contient les données représentant l'altitude et une troisième partie CSTR, les données concernant les contraintes qui peuvent être liées, notamment, aux dénivellations de l'itinéraire filmé. Le fonctionnement du dispositif est schématisé par l'organigramme de la figure 7. Cet organigramme est relatif au programme se déroulant à partir desdites interruptions. Figure 6 explains how the AVI format is used in the context of the invention. There is a PICT part which contains the images representing the landscape which will be displayed on the screen 25. A second part ALT contains the data representing the altitude and a third part CSTR, the data concerning the constraints which can be linked, in particular , to the unevenness of the filmed route. The operation of the device is shown schematically by the flowchart of FIG. 7. This flowchart relates to the program taking place from said interrupts.
Le programme démarre, case KO, dès qu'un signal d'interruption apparaît. La première tâche, case K2, consiste à analyser le contenu du compteur de vitesse. De la valeur de la vitesse on déduit la distance DST (case K4) parcourue depuis la précédente interruption. Cette distance ainsi calculée va incrémenter, case K6, un compteur de distance à partir duquel on déterminera le compteur d'indexation du fichier AVI. Ainsi, case K8, il sera possible de prélever l'image depuis le lecteur de support optique 57 ainsi que les autres informations qui lui sont liées. La case K10 indique le traitement de ces informations vers les différents composants du dispositif. Si certaines n'impliquent pas de traitement particulier, celles concernant la pente doivent être traitées pour agir sur le frein 50 et le mécanisme de soulèvement-abaissement 35. Notamment, pour une pente nulle correspondra une certaine position et une certaine contrainte, de sorte qu'en cas de descente, la contrainte sera relâchée et la position abaissée. Pour des montées, la contrainte sera donc renforcée et la position plus élevée. Le programme est ensuite stoppé, case K12.  The program starts, box KO, as soon as an interrupt signal appears. The first task, box K2, consists of analyzing the contents of the speedometer. From the value of the speed one deduces the distance DST (box K4) traversed since the previous interruption. This distance thus calculated will increment, box K6, a distance counter from which the indexing counter of the AVI file will be determined. Thus, box K8, it will be possible to take the image from the optical media reader 57 and other information related thereto. Box K10 indicates the processing of this information to the various components of the device. If some do not involve a particular treatment, those concerning the slope must be treated to act on the brake 50 and the lifting-lowering mechanism. Notably, for a zero slope will correspond a certain position and a certain constraint, so that in case of descent, the stress will be released and the position lowered. For climbs, the constraint will be reinforced and the position higher. The program is then stopped, box K12.
Le contenu des informations de contraintes contenues dans CSTR peuvent apporter des conditions supplémentaires pour signaler par exemple un sol mou qui doit provoquer un effort supplémentaire de la part du sportif.  The content of the constraint information contained in CSTR can provide additional conditions for signaling, for example, a soft ground that must cause additional effort on the part of the athlete.
L'enregistrement des fichiers AVI est effectué à partir d'une caméra à haute définition et à cadence rapide de sorte que pour une vitesse lente les images n'apparaissent pas d'une manière saccadée. La piste son sera mis à profil pour l'enregistrement des autres informations et notamment l'information d'altitude qui provient d'un dispositif GPS ou plus simplement d'un altimètre barométrique.  The recording of AVI files is done from a high-definition, fast-paced camera so that for a slow speed the images do not appear jerkily. The sound track will be profiled for recording other information including altitude information that comes from a GPS device or simply a barometric altimeter.
