Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to protective gear and a generation method thereof, and in particular to a power-assisted flexible protective gear and a parameterized generation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Entering a new stage of development, the people's pursuit of high-quality life and the enhancement of sports protection awareness have become boosters for the rapid development of the wearable protective gear industry. Human joints are very easy to collide and be injured during exercise, especially the knee joints, which bear 55% of the sports injuries of the human body. Wearing corresponding protective gear can effectively reduce the risk of injury. The current sports protective gear has a relatively single form of assistance, and usually uses binding straps to cushion the joints during exercise to reduce the chance of joint injuries to the wearer. A few protective gears that use support strips generally have the problems of low convenience and poor cushioning effect, which not only affects the comfort of wearing, but also reduces the wearer's flexibility. Some existing protective gears are mainly for knee joints, and cannot take into account other joints of the human body, and the occasions of use are limited. When the joints are impacted by external forces, the existing unidirectional or bidirectional woven materials are mostly poor in strength, low in shear strength, and poor in impact resistance, and cannot provide impact protection measures, resulting in poor protection.

[0003] At the same time, wearable protective gear has a large contact area with the human body and complex surface morphology. The design of the corresponding protective gear in terms of shape and structure is affected by many factors, the amount of design data is large, and the shape modification is difficult, resulting in poor adaptability of prefabricated products to the human body. The shape design of these products is closely related to human body size, morphological surface characteristics, etc., which requires combining anthropometric data, physiological characteristics, etc., through pleasant design to meet user comfort needs.

[0004] In order to further develop the field of wearable protective gear products and obtain protective gear products with more perfect functionality and comfort, it is necessary to propose a rapid generation method for protective gear. Summary of the invention

[0054] See also Figure 1-Figure 12 The present invention provides a technical solution: a power-assisted flexible protective gear, characterized in that it includes: one or more of a hip joint protector, a knee joint protector, and an ankle joint protector; the modular design allows users to choose according to their needs. The protective gear reduces the pressure on the joints by providing stability and support, and stores and releases elastic energy during exercise to achieve a power-assisted effect, which can avoid joint dislocation, sprains and contusions, and effectively relieve pain and prevent injuries.

[0055] The hip joint protector comprises: a hip joint protector base 1, a hip joint binding belt 2, a hip joint support strip notch 3, and a hip joint support strip 4. The hip joint protector base 1 is located in the innermost layer. The hip joint binding belt 2 is in the shape of a long strip. The middle part of the hip joint binding belt 2 is fixedly connected to the hip joint protector base 1. The hip joint binding belt 2 has Velcro at both ends. The hip joint binding belt 2 is wrapped around the outside of the hip joint protector base 1. The Velcro can fix the two ends of the hip joint binding belt 2. The binding belt 2 has a support strip notch 3 on the side of the pelvis, and the hip joint support strip 4 is located in the support strip notch 3. The hip joint binding belt 2 generates three-point fixed pressure. The pressure at the pelvis and thigh can fix the greater trochanter of the hip joint on the lunar surface of the acetabular labrum, thereby protecting the hip joint. The hip joint binding belt 2 located at the waist is close to the human waist, stabilizes the lumbar spine, disperses the pressure on the waist muscles, and reduces lumbar muscle strain. During exercise, the replaceable hip joint support strip 4 on the side of the thigh and pelvis undergoes elastic deformation due to external force, generating reverse stress, which is applied to the joint to assist it and reduce the energy consumed by the human body.

[0056] The knee joint brace includes: a knee joint brace bottom 17, an annular protective structure 5, a knee joint binding belt 8, a knee joint support strip 7, and a knee joint support strip notch 6. The knee joint brace bottom 17 is located in the innermost layer, the knee joint binding belt 8 is in the shape of an "8", the knee joint binding belt 8 is located on the outside of the knee joint brace bottom 1, the annular protective structure 5 is fixed on the outside of the knee joint brace bottom 1, the annular protective structure 5 is worn at the patella, the knee joint brace bottom 17 is provided with a knee joint support strip notch 6, and the knee joint support strip 7 is located in the knee joint support strip notch 6; the annular protective structure 5 adopts a ring-shaped new mechanical intelligent material P4U, which is a non-Newtonian fluid material and a new intelligent vibration reduction and energy absorption material. P4U can present two physical states. It is in a relaxed state under normal conditions. Once it is subjected to a severe collision or impact, the molecules immediately lock with each other, which can quickly absorb external forces and form a protective layer. The knee joint bandage 8 is an "8"-shaped high-pressure layer woven fabric, which can improve the wrapping of the protective gear, cushion and reduce pressure, enhance support, disperse patellar pressure, protect the patella and limit the tendency of lateral dislocation. The knee joint support strips 7 on both sides are serialized special-shaped structures, which can achieve a power-assisting effect while not causing a foreign body sensation when worn. The knee joint bandage 8 is in the shape of an "8", that is, the middle position of the knee joint bandage 8 is connected to the knee joint protective gear base 17 at the popliteal fossa, and then the two ends of the knee joint bandage 8 are respectively passed around the front of the calf and the popliteal fossa, and finally fixed to the front of the thigh.

[0057] The ankle brace includes: an ankle brace base 18, an ankle strap 10, and an ankle support strip 12. The ankle brace base 18 is located in the innermost layer, the ankle strap 10 is located outside the ankle brace base 18, the ankle strap 10 is X-shaped, and the ankle support strip 12 is fixed between the ankle brace base 1 and the ankle strap 10. The ankle brace can effectively prevent ligament tearing and ankle sprain. The ankle support strip 12 is placed on the inner side of the ankle joint, avoiding the ankle convex position. When it is impacted by external force, it produces elastic deformation and has a reverse force on the joint, thereby achieving a shock-absorbing effect. The ankle support strip 12 stores the mechanical energy during the movement of the ankle joint, releases energy when the ankle joint is plantar flexed, and assists the ankle joint in doing positive work. The ankle strap 10 is X-shaped, which applies horizontal pressure to fix the ankle and stretches the arch longitudinally to prevent the foot from turning inside out. At the same time, the brace avoids the heel to improve the wearing comfort. The ankle joint binding belt 10 is in an X-shape, which means that the ankle joint binding belt 10 passes through the sole of the foot and the back of the ankle and crosses at the front of the ankle.

[0058] The backing lining 1 of the hip joint protector, the backing lining 17 of the knee joint protector, and the backing lining 18 of the ankle joint protector are all made of three-dimensional woven materials. The fiber bundles of the three-dimensional woven material 1 extend in multiple directions in space and cross each other, breaking through the limitations of the unidirectional structure of traditional woven materials. The three-dimensional mesh space structure with high-density weaving fundamentally overcomes the shortcomings of poor anti-dispersion, poor strength, low shear strength, and poor impact resistance of unidirectional and two-dimensional structural materials. It has high mechanical properties, impact toughness, and structural designability, etc., which improves the wearing comfort of the protector. A three-dimensional four-step circular weaving method is adopted. In this method, the yarn carrier moves according to a certain rule to make the yarns intertwined in space, and then squeezes the interwoven yarns together through a tightening movement to form an overall woven fabric with a certain tightness and a certain shape, which can effectively enhance the multi-dimensional impact resistance. High-density weaving uses a blended fabric of new intelligent material spinning, high-performance polymer composite cotton and polyester, which has good comprehensive mechanical properties, high fit, good air permeability, strong wrapping, wear resistance and durability.

[0059] The ankle support also includes: an ankle Velcro 11, which is attached to the outside of the ankle support backing 18, and an ankle support strip 12 is fixed between the ankle support backing 18 and the ankle Velcro 11. In this way, the ankle support strip 12 can be replaced according to the usage scenario. When replacing, the ankle support strip 12 can be removed by simply removing the ankle Velcro 11 and then replaced with a new ankle support strip 12.

[0060] The hip joint protector also includes: a hip joint anti-slip strip 13, which is located on the inner side of the hip joint protector base 1, and the hip joint anti-slip strip 13 can prevent the hip joint protector from being displaced due to muscle contraction during exercise; the knee joint protector also includes: a knee joint anti-slip strip 14, which is located on the inner side of the knee joint base 17, and the knee joint anti-slip strip 14 can prevent the knee joint protector from being displaced due to knee contraction during exercise; the ankle joint protector also includes: an ankle joint anti-slip strip 15, which is located on the inner side of the ankle joint base 18, and the ankle joint anti-slip strip 15 can prevent the ankle joint protector from being displaced due to muscle contraction during exercise.

[0061] The present application also discloses a method for generating a power-assisted flexible protective gear, which is used to generate a power-assisted flexible protective gear, comprising the following steps:

[0062] Step 1: Use a 3D scanning device to build a scanning platform for the target action, select the target area of ​​the body, and complete the transcription of the body data;

[0063] Step 2: Import the original model obtained by scanning with a 3D scanner into any reverse engineering software (Geomagic studio) to pre-process the model, cut redundant data, delete noise point clouds, and perform filtering functions to obtain a preliminary processed model of key target parts of the shape;

[0064] Step 3: Write a parametric program in the Rhino Grasshopper plug-in of the modeling software and build a secondary development framework;

[0065] Step 4: Then, according to the design requirements, check the overall protective gear effect, calibrate and adjust the parameters, improve the target and output the model;

[0066] Step 5. Finally, in order to design body shape input and protective gear for multiple regions and a wide range of people, select the above step 3 action for secondary development, package the program framework, and process it in batches with one click.

[0067] Wherein, step 3 comprises:

[0068] Step 3.1, process the preprocessed shape data. According to the size requirements, take the model space focus as the origin, establish equidistant segmentation lines on both sides, and generate segmentation surfaces to lay the foundation for reconstructing the surface. The segmentation parameters can be adjusted by the parameter slider according to specific needs.

[0069] Step 3.2, based on the segmentation surface obtained above, map and regress the original shape data model, and use the lofting function to fit the Nubrs curve and surface.

[0070] Step 3.3, offset the thickness command of the obtained fitting surface to obtain the wearable protective gear matrix. According to the needs of different regions, change the offset parameters to achieve the purpose of changing the stiffness of the protective gear matrix in different regions.

[0071] Step 3.4, based on the protective gear model and the human body shape, design and establish hip joint straps, knee joint straps, and ankle joint straps, and apply binding capabilities.

[0072] Step 3.5, since the hip joint, knee joint and ankle joint mostly perform flexion, rotation and other movements in the sagittal plane, the hip joint support bar, knee joint support bar and ankle joint support bar are created in the sagittal plane. Similarly, based on the protective gear model and due to the human body shape, the size and shape of the hip joint support bar, knee joint support bar and ankle joint support bar are designed and adjusted. It has modular characteristics and the hip joint support bar, knee joint support bar and ankle joint support bar are replaceable.

[0073] When exercising on flat ground, use Fig. 9 The unilateral support bar shown in the figure (the support bar is a general term for the hip joint support bar, the knee joint support bar, and the ankle joint support bar) is designed according to the human body shape and the principle of modular replacement. The hip joint support bar and the knee joint support bar are "I" type, and the ankle joint support bar is "L" type, that is, Fig.10As shown in the figure, the four left side bars are for hip joint support and knee joint support, and the three right side bars are for ankle joint support. Take the knee joint as an example: the knee joint bends within the normal range, which produces a small buffer resistance and ensures the flexibility of the knee joint movement. When climbing or descending, choose Fig.10 The bilateral support strip shown is now explained using the knee joint as an example: when climbing or descending, the knee joint bends more, the serrations fit tightly together, and the support strip body generates greater resistance, cushioning the large bending of the knee joint and preventing knee joint injury. The unilateral knee support strip has sparsely arranged serrations, high bendability, and large deformation, which is suitable for low-intensity exercise; the bilateral support strip has a large number of serrations and is densely arranged, with strong cushioning performance and high resilience, which is suitable for high-intensity exercise.

[0074] The simplified structure of the knee joint support bar, the hip joint support bar and the ankle joint support bar (hereinafter collectively referred to as the support bar) is shown as follows: Fig.11 The support bar includes: a variable cross-section area 19 and a fixed cross-section area 20. For the convenience of analysis, the change curve in the middle of the variable cross-section area 19 is a parabola. A fillet 21 is set between the fixed cross-section area 20 and the parabola. The radius of the fillet 21 is r. Fig.12 As shown, the variable cross-section area 19 of the support bar is used. The midline of the variable cross-section area 19 is the x-axis, and the leftmost side of the support bar is the y-axis to establish the xoy rectangular coordinate. Then the center of the fillet 21 is on the y-axis. Assuming that the length of the variable cross-section area 19 is l, the maximum width dimension is h, and the minimum width dimension is h0, h = δh0, where δ is the cross-section coefficient of the support bar. Assuming that the length of any point from the y-axis is the variable x, then h(x) represents the cross-section width along the y-axis at that point. t is the distance between the far point o of the coordinate system and the center of the fillet 21, then:

[0075] (1) When When, and when hour, When , h(x) has the following relationship,

[0076]

[0077] (2) When When t=0, h(x) has the following relationship:

[0078]

[0079] Among them, l1 is the distance between the connection point of the left fillet 21 and the parabola and the y-axis, and l2 is the distance between the corresponding h0 and the y-axis; l3 is the distance between the connection point of the right fillet and the parabola and the y-axis; θ1 and θ2 respectively represent the angles of the left and right arcs.

[0080] Step 5 includes:

[0081] Step 5.1, enter the software, the first layer of the interface sets up three functional modules: "shape scanning", "parameter preset" and "batch generation".

[0082] Step 5.2, first select the "Body Scanning" function module, and use the "One-key Scanning" function with the 3D scanning hardware device to obtain the scan file and quickly generate the scan image.
