Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of knee pads, and in particular relates to a self-adjusting intelligent knee pad. Background Art

[0002] As an important sports protective gear, knee pads have been widely used and developed. In the past few decades, the design and materials of knee pads have been greatly improved and innovated.

[0003] Most knee braces on the market are made of elastic materials, which are soft and adjustable and can provide a certain degree of support and protection. Some advanced knee braces use advanced materials and technologies, such as polymer materials, elastic straps and adjustable buckles, to provide better stability and comfort.

[0004] In addition, some knee braces also combine the principles of biomechanics to optimize the effect of exercise while protecting the knees. For example, some knee braces are designed with special structures to provide proper support and stability, reduce the load on the knees, and reduce the pressure on the joints during exercise.

[0005] In a field combat environment, the presence of knee pads can better protect people's knees and has an important impact on the success of the combat.

[0006] However, the displacement problem of knee brace is a major shortcoming of current traditional fixed knee brace.

[0007] During exercise, the position of people's knees will change with the range of motion and time, and traditional knee pads cannot effectively adapt to such changes. This means that when people perform strenuous movements or exercise for a long time, especially in a field combat environment, the knee pads may shift, causing the position of the knee guard to shift and fail to provide adequate protection.

[0008] Misalignment of the knee brace may increase the risk of knee injury.

[0009] This displacement problem affects the effectiveness and reliability of knee braces. People rely on knee braces to provide stability and protection during exercise, but when the knee brace is displaced, the position of the knee guard is no longer aligned with the knee area, and it cannot continue to provide effective protection. The knee area is susceptible to external impact and pressure, which may cause knee injuries such as sprains, ligament injuries or cartilage injuries.

[0010] People may need to frequently adjust the position of the knee brace to ensure that the knee is adequately protected, which affects the continuity and comfort of movement.

[0011] In summary, how to provide a self-adjusting intelligent knee pad that can monitor and adjust the position of knee protection is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0012] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method, device and application of a self-adjusting intelligent knee pad, which can detect the position information of the knee guard and trigger the displacement structure to move the knee guard based on the position information, thereby adjusting the position of the knee guard relative to the knee.

[0018] Furthermore, a second detection device for detecting sweat in the knee area is provided on the side of the knee protection part facing the knee area; air holes are penetrated through the knee protection part, and the air holes are covered with air hole doors that can be opened and closed; and / or an expansion layer that can be unfolded or retracted is provided on the periphery of the knee protection part.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a second displacement structure arranged on the side of the kneepad body facing the leg; the second displacement structure can move up and down or left and right along the leg, thereby driving the kneepad body to change its position relative to the leg.

[0020] The present invention also provides a method for adjusting the position of a knee pad using the self-adjusting intelligent knee pad described in any one of the above, comprising the following steps: Fix the kneepad body to the leg so that the knee protection part covers the knee area; Detecting the position of the knee protection part by a first detection component, and determining whether the knee protection part is offset; If so, the knee protection part is moved by the displacement structure to adjust the position of the knee protection part relative to the knee part.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes detecting the pressure applied by the upper annular fixing member to the leg and adjusting the tightness of the upper annular fixing member accordingly, and / or detecting the pressure applied by the lower annular fixing member to the leg and adjusting the tightness of the lower annular fixing member accordingly.

[0022] Furthermore, it also includes detecting the sweating condition of the knee area and adjusting the opening and closing of the air hole door on the knee protection part accordingly.

[0023] The present invention also provides a knee pad position adjustment system, comprising a self-adjusting intelligent knee pad as described in any one of the above; Also included is a position detection unit for detecting the position of the knee protection portion; a deviation determination unit, for determining whether the knee protection part is deviated based on the detection data of the position detection unit; The position adjustment unit is used to adjust the position of the knee protection part relative to the knee part based on the determination result of the deviation determination unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The technical solution disclosed in the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0039] Techniques and methods known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques and methods should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0040] The present invention provides a self-adjusting intelligent kneepad 100, comprising a kneepad body 200, such as Figure 1 As shown, a knee protection portion 210 is provided on the kneepad body 200 corresponding to the knee position.

[0041] The knee protection part 210 can be rigid or semi-rigid. For example, the side of the knee protection part 210 facing the outside is rigid, and the side facing the knee is flexible, which can provide safe and reliable protection for the knee while ensuring the comfort of the knee.

[0042] The knee protection part 210 is movably connected to the knee pad body 200 via a first displacement structure 300 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the first displacement structure 300 includes a slide rail arranged around the knee pad body 200, and a corresponding slider is arranged on the knee protection part 210. The slide rail is arranged on both sides of the knee area to ensure that the area between the upper and lower slide rails can cover the knee area.

[0044] The knee protection part 210 can move along the slide rail, thereby changing its position relative to the knee.

[0045] The slide rail may include a first slide rail 310 disposed laterally on both sides of the knee portion, and / or a second slide rail 320 disposed vertically on both sides of the knee portion. The first slide rail 310 and the second slide rail 320 may intersect with each other, so that the knee protection portion 210 may be changed in position laterally and vertically relative to the knee portion.

[0046] In another embodiment, the first displacement structure 300 includes magnetic materials respectively installed on the knee pad body 200 and the knee protection part 210, such as permanent magnets or controllable electromagnets, and the size and direction of the magnetic field are controlled by electric current.

[0047] By passing an electric current around the magnetic material, a magnetic field can be generated. By adjusting the magnitude and direction of the electric current, the interaction force between the magnetic materials can be controlled. This interaction force can be used to push or attract the knee protection part 210 to achieve displacement.

[0048] In another embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the first displacement structure 300 includes an air bag 330 disposed between the knee pad body 200 and the knee protection part 210, and the position of the knee protection part 210 is adjusted by controlling the air flow or air pressure in the air bag.

[0049] Specifically, one or more airbags are provided between the kneepad body 200 and the knee protection portion 210. The airbags may be made of flexible elastic materials, such as rubber or airbag materials, to adapt to the curve shape of the knee.

[0050] The inflation and deflation of the airbag are controlled by adjusting the airflow or air pressure. When the airbag is inflated, the airbag expands, thereby lifting the knee guard 210, causing the knee guard 210 to move in the direction of the airbag protrusion. When the airbag is deflated, the airbag shrinks, causing the knee guard 210 to move in the direction of the airbag shrinkage.

[0051] Optionally, an expansion layer 400 is provided at the periphery of the knee protection part as described in any one of the above items, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0052] In this embodiment, an expansion layer is arranged around the periphery of the knee protection part. The expansion layer has a structure similar to a wing, and can be expanded and folded through one or more hinges or telescopic devices. When it is necessary to expand, the expansion layer can be opened and extended through the hinge or telescopic device. In this way, the edge of the knee protection part can be expanded outward to increase the coverage area. When it is necessary to fold, the expansion layer can be retracted to its original position by reverse operation.

[0053] The specific deployment structure may vary depending on the design and there are many different ways to implement it. For example, elastic materials or retractable rods can be used as the basis of the deployment structure. These materials or rods can be deployed when needed and retracted when not needed. In addition, adjustable switches or buttons can also be used to control the deployment and retraction operations.

[0054] By providing the expansion layer, the edge of the knee protection part can be lengthened and widened as needed, thereby increasing the coverage area of ​​the knee protection part, especially the coverage range of the peripheral area of ​​the edge.

[0055] When wearing the knee guard, due to the different body shapes of the wearer, for some special people, the original default size of the knee guard may not be able to fully and effectively cover the knee area. The size and area of ​​the knee guard can be enlarged by the expansion layer as needed, so that the knee guard can cover the knee area and improve the adaptability of the knee guard.

[0056] In addition, during use, if the knee guard is displaced and not fully aligned with the knee, resulting in part of the knee not being protected, the expansion layer can be extended to lengthen the edge of the displaced knee guard so that the knee can be covered again.

[0057] Specifically, if the knee guard is offset to the left and fails to completely cover the right side of the knee, the expansion layer at the right edge of the knee guard is triggered to unfold, so that the right edge of the knee guard is extended, and the right side of the knee is again protected by the knee guard.

[0058] A first detection component is disposed on the inner side of the knee protection part 210 , and the position of the knee protection part 210 relative to the knee is detected by the first detection component.

[0059] As one of the possible implementations, the first detection component includes a plurality of sensors. These sensors may be position sensors, photoelectric sensors, magnetic sensors, pressure sensors, acoustic wave sensors, etc., which are installed on the inner side of the knee protection part 210 to provide position information of the knee protection part 210.

[0060] In another embodiment, the first detection component includes a visual device capable of capturing images, such as a camera or a depth sensor, to capture position information of the knee protection portion 210 .

[0061] In another embodiment, the first detection component includes a trigger element that can change state under specific positions or conditions. A trigger is installed on the inner side of the knee guard 210, and when the position of the knee guard 210 changes, the trigger changes its state. Common types of triggers include micro switches, reed switches, etc.

[0062] At different times, the position of the knee protection part 210 may change, and the position information of the knee protection part 210 obtained by the first detection component at different times may also be different.

[0063] The controller receives the signal from the first detection component and correspondingly triggers the first displacement structure 300 to move the knee protection part 210 , thereby adjusting the position of the knee protection part 210 relative to the knee.

[0064] Preferably, a tightenable annular upper fixing member 230 is disposed at the upper end of the knee pad body 200 .

[0065] As one of the possible implementations, Figure 4As shown, the annular upper fixing member 230 is configured as a telescopic structure embedded in the kneepad body 200. For example, the telescopic structure includes a plurality of nested telescopic blocks 250. The annular upper fixing member 230 can be loosened or tightened by extending or shortening the telescopic structure.

[0066] In another embodiment, the annular upper fixing member 230 is an adjustable belt or rope. This adjustment belt can be a nylon belt, an elastic belt or other adjustable materials, and the fastening degree of the annular upper fixing member 230 can be controlled by adjusting the length or tightness of the belt.

[0067] In another embodiment, the annular upper fixing member 230 includes a buckle ring and a matching strap disposed at the upper end of the kneepad body 200. The buckle ring may be a metal buckle ring, a plastic buckle ring, or other structures capable of fixing the strap. By fastening or unfastening the connection between the strap and the buckle ring, the fastening degree of the annular upper fixing member 230 may be adjusted.

[0068] In another embodiment, the annular upper fixing member 230 includes a magnetic fixing member. Such a magnetic fixing member may include a magnetic button, a magnetic clasp or other magnetic structures. By adsorbing the magnetic fixing member at a suitable position, the annular upper fixing member 230 can be fixed and its tightening degree can be adjusted.

[0069] In another embodiment, the annular upper fixing member 230 includes a rotation locking device disposed at the upper end of the kneepad body 200, and the annular upper fixing member 230 is tightened by the rotation locking device. The rotation locking device may be a threaded device, a snap-fit ​​device or other rotation fixing structure.

[0070] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is provided on the side of the annular upper fixing member 230 facing the leg, so as to detect the pressure applied by the annular upper fixing member 230 to the leg.

[0071] The controller is used to receive the signal from the pressure sensor and adjust the tightness of the annular upper fixing member 230 accordingly.

[0072] Taking the embodiment in which the annular upper fixing member 230 is set as a telescopic structure embedded in the kneepad body 200 as an example, the controller receives the signal of the pressure sensor and compares the pressure value collected this time with the preset threshold range. If the pressure value exceeds the preset threshold range, it means that the pressure applied by the annular upper fixing member 230 on the leg is too large and the fixation is too tight. The controller triggers the telescopic structure to extend, the total length of the annular upper fixing member 230 increases, and the pressure applied to the leg becomes smaller.

[0073] On the contrary, if the pressure value is lower than the preset threshold range, it means that the pressure applied by the annular upper fixing member 230 on the leg is too small and the fixation is not firm enough. The controller triggers the telescopic structure to shorten, the total length of the annular upper fixing member 230 is reduced, and the pressure applied to the leg becomes larger.

[0074] Taking the embodiment of the annular upper fixing member 230 as an example, the controller receives the signal of the pressure sensor and compares it with the preset pressure threshold. If the pressure value exceeds the threshold range, the controller can trigger the magnetic force regulator or the magnetic control valve to make corresponding adjustments.

[0075] The magnetic force regulator is made of an adjustable magnetic material and has different magnetic strengths. By adjusting the magnetic strength of the magnetic force regulator, the adsorption force of the magnetic fixing member can be changed, thereby adjusting the fastening degree of the annular upper fixing member 230.

[0076] Alternatively, when the pressure is too high, the controller can open the magnetic control valve to reduce the adsorption force of the magnetic fixing part, thereby reducing the pressure on the legs. Conversely, when the pressure is too low, the controller can close the magnetic control valve to increase the adsorption force of the magnetic fixing part, thereby increasing the pressure on the legs.

[0077] Other embodiments are similar. The tightness of the annular upper fixing member 230 can be adjusted by setting corresponding components capable of adjusting the tightness of the annular upper fixing member 230 in cooperation with a controller and a pressure sensor, and will not be elaborated one by one.

[0078] Preferably, a tightenable annular lower fixing member 240 is provided at the lower end of the kneepad body 200. A pressure sensor is provided on the side of the annular lower fixing member 240 facing the leg to detect the pressure applied by the annular lower fixing member 240 to the leg; The controller is used to receive the signal from the pressure sensor and adjust the tightness of the annular lower fixing member 240 accordingly.

[0079] The implementation of the annular lower fixing member 240 may refer to the implementation of the annular upper fixing member 230 described above.

[0080] By providing an annular upper fixing piece 230 at the upper end of the kneepad body 200, and / or providing an annular lower fixing piece 240 at the lower end of the kneepad body 200, when the tightness between the upper and lower ends of the kneepad body 200 and the leg is not firm, the tightness can be adjusted in time, and the slippage of the kneepad body 200 relative to the leg can be prevented by tightening the annular upper fixing piece 230 and / or the annular lower fixing piece 240.

[0081] At the same time, when the upper and lower ends of the kneepad body 200 are too tightly fastened to the legs, the annular upper fixing member 230 and / or the annular lower fixing member 240 can be loosened to prevent the kneepad body 200 from binding the legs too tightly, thereby preventing problems such as blood circulation obstruction.

[0082] Preferably, a second detection device for detecting sweat at the knee area is provided on the side of the knee protection portion 210 facing the knee area.

[0083] During specific implementation, the kneepad body 200 may be worn on pants or directly on the knee.

[0084] When the kneepad body 200 is worn on trousers, the second detection device includes a breathable patch sensor: a breathable patch sensor is used and placed on the inside or outside of the kneepad to fit the knee. This sensor is usually made of soft material with good breathability and can pass through clothing to contact the knee.

[0085] The controller receives the signal from the breathable patch sensor and determines the sweat content in the knee area according to the strength or change of the signal.

[0086] When the kneepad body 200 is worn on the knee, the second detection device includes an electrochemical sensor, a capacitive sensor or other types of sensors for detecting the sweat content of the knee.

[0087] Furthermore, the knee protection portion 210 is penetrated by an air hole 220 , and the air hole 220 is covered by an air hole door 221 that can be opened and closed.

[0088] In the controller, a threshold range of sweat content can be preset. According to the set threshold, the controller can determine whether the sweat at the knee exceeds the normal range.

[0089] When the controller determines that the sweat content in the knee area exceeds the normal range, the controller triggers the air hole door 221 to open, and air can flow through the air hole door 221 to contact the knee area or the trouser part, thereby enhancing the breathability, thereby helping the sweat to evaporate and preventing sweating.

[0090] When the controller determines that the sweat content of the knee area has returned to the normal range, the controller triggers the air hole door 221 to close, preventing air from contacting the knee area or the trousers through the air hole door 221, thereby preventing the knee from getting cold due to being exposed to the air flow for too long. In addition, the closing of the air hole door 221 can also achieve the effect of waterproofing and dustproofing.

[0091] After the user exercises or uses the kneepad for a long time, the entire kneepad body may slide downward relative to the leg, or shift to the left or right.

[0092] Optionally, the self-adjusting intelligent knee brace 100 further includes a second displacement structure 500, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the second displacement structure 500 is fixedly connected to the kneepad body, and the fixed connection can be achieved by using adjustable straps, buckles or other fixing devices.

[0093] In order to achieve movement along the legs, the second displacement structure may adopt a sliding or rolling mechanism. For example, a slider, roller or other friction reducing device may be added to the inner side or bottom of the second displacement structure to reduce the friction with the legs and achieve smooth movement.

[0094] In another embodiment, the second displacement structure 500 is a track-like structure, which includes a track and a driving structure for driving the track to rotate. By driving the track to rotate, the second displacement structure 500 can move up and down or left and right along the leg, thereby driving the kneepad body to move up and down or left and right relative to the leg.

[0095] Optionally, a second displacement structure 500 is longitudinally arranged on the inner side of the kneepad body toward the leg, so as to drive the kneepad body to move up and down relative to the leg.

[0096] In this embodiment, second displacement structures 500 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the kneepad body near the upper end.

[0097] In specific implementation, a distance sensor for detecting the displacement distance of the kneepad body, such as a linear displacement sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an optical sensor, a pressure sensor, etc., is provided on the kneepad body to realize automatic adjustment of the position of the kneepad body relative to the leg.

[0098] Specifically, when the distance sensor detects that the knee pad body has slid downward by about 3 centimeters, the controller receives the detection data of the distance sensor and triggers the second shifting structure to move 3 centimeters upward along the leg, thereby driving the knee pad body to move 3 centimeters upward relative to the leg and return to its original position.

[0099] Optionally, a second displacement structure 500 is laterally arranged on the inner side of the kneepad body facing the leg to drive the kneepad body to move left and right relative to the leg.

[0100] In this embodiment, second displacement structures 500 are respectively provided at the upper end and the lower end of the knee pad body.

[0101] Specifically, when the distance sensor detects that the knee pad body has slid about 3 centimeters to the left, the controller receives the detection data of the distance sensor and triggers the second displacement structure to move 3 centimeters to the right laterally along the leg.

[0102] Under the above arrangement, the position of the kneepad body relative to the leg can be adjusted by the second displacement structure, and the position of the knee protection part on the kneepad body relative to the knee can also be adjusted by the first displacement structure.

[0103] The present invention provides a method for adjusting the position of a knee pad using the self-adjusting intelligent knee pad 100 as described above. Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included: S1: Fix the kneepad body 200 to the leg so that the knee protection part 210 covers the knee area.

[0104] S2 detects the position of the knee protection part 210 by the first detection component, and determines whether the knee protection part is offset.

[0105] First, after the user completes the wearing steps, each first detection component provided on the knee protection part 210 has an initial first position, and the first detection component detects and records the first position. The initial first position at this time is regarded as the correct wearing position, that is, in this position, the knee protection part 210 can completely cover the knee area.

[0106] During the subsequent use of the kneepad body 200, the kneepad body 200 may change its position relative to the leg, so that each first detection component provided on the knee protection part 210 will also shift from the initial first position to the second position, and the first detection component detects and records the second position.

[0107] The controller receives and compares the position information of the initial first position and the second position at different acquisition time points. When the first position and the second position are inconsistent, it is determined that the knee protection part has shifted relative to the original initial position.

[0108] S3, when it is determined that the knee protection part is offset, moves the knee protection part by means of the first displacement structure, thereby adjusting the position of the knee protection part relative to the knee part.

[0109] The offsets in the horizontal and vertical directions are obtained respectively, and the knee protection part 210 is correspondingly moved by the first displacement structure 300 to offset the offsets in the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby adjusting the position of the knee protection part 210 relative to the knee.

[0110] Specifically, for example, the knee protection part 210 is offset from its original initial position, specifically, it moves 3 centimeters to the left in the horizontal direction and 2 centimeters upward in the vertical direction.

[0111] In this case, the first displacement structure 300 correspondingly moves the knee protection part 210 3 cm horizontally to the right and 2 cm vertically downward, thereby offsetting the horizontal and vertical offsets and returning the knee protection part 210 from the second position to the initial first position.

[0112] by Figure 1 Taking the embodiment of the first shift structure 300 in FIG. 1 as an example, the following is an example of a possible movement sequence specification: First, determine the adjustment in the horizontal direction. According to the required horizontal offset, move the slider 3 cm to the right along the first slide rail 310 to return to the correct horizontal position.

[0113] Then, the vertical direction is adjusted. According to the required vertical offset, the slide block is moved downward by 2 cm along the second slide rail 320 to return to the correct vertical position.
