Vodenje hidravličnega simulatorja veslanja

Golob, Gašper (author), Kamnik, Roman (mentor)

Simulator veslanja je naprava, ki posnema gibanje in sile pri veslanju na vodi. V diplomskem delu je predstavljen razvoj sistema vodenja hidravličnega simulatorja veslanja z električno krmiljenim ventilom, ki v realnem času zagotavlja ustrezno upornost hidravličnega sistema, tako da se sile, ki jih čuti uporabnik simulatorja, ujemajo s silami, ki jih med veslanjem na vodi čuti veslač. Uporaba matematičnega modela veslanja omogoča, da so uporabniku simulatorja na računalniškem zaslonu prikazane informacije, potrebne za uspešen trening. Kvaliteto vodenja simulatorja smo preverili s preizkusom, na katerem so sodelovali trije izkušeni veslači. Rezultati kažejo dobro ujemanje izmerjenih krivulj sile s podatki iz literature. Veslači so splošno kvaliteto simulacije veslanja in vodenja sile ocenili kot dobro, vendar simulatorja ne vidijo kot uporabno orodje za trening. Na podlagi komentarjev veslačev smo predlagali nekaj možnosti za nadaljnji razvoj simulatorja.

• Title: Control of a hydraulic rowing simulator

Abstract

A rowing simulator is a device that mimics the movement and forces of on-water rowing. The thesis addresses the development of a control system for a hydraulic rowing simulator with an electrically controlled valve, which provides resistance of the hydraulic system, so that the oar forces felt by the user of the simulator match the forces felt by a rower during on-water rowing. A mathematical model of rowing is used to present information important for efficient training to the user on a computer screen. We tested the quality of the simulator's control system by performing a test with three experienced rowers. Results show a good match of measured force-curves with the data seen in the literature. The rowers graded the overall simulation quality and the quality of force control as good, but they don't believe the simulator to be a viable training tool. Based on their comments we have suggested several possibilities for further improvement of the simulator.
