Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical supplies technology, and in particular to a joint protector for rheumatoid arthritis. Background Technology
[0002] Rheumatism is a common disease that mainly occurs in the joints of the limbs, neck, shoulders, and waist. It is a joint disease that may be caused by genetic factors or by fatigue. It can manifest with changes in the weather, causing redness, swelling, heat, and stinging pain. In severe cases, the joints can become deformed. In cold winters or on chilly mornings, many people like to run in shorts. When exercising, the cold and dampness can easily penetrate the joints. In the short term, there may be no effect, but over time, joint pain may occur, indicating that rheumatism has developed.
[0003] To protect the knees of morning exercisers from the effects of cold and wind, and to prevent rheumatic pain in the knees, a type of knee protector has appeared on the market. Made primarily of elastic, flexible fabric, it provides some warmth when worn over the knees. While it doesn't actively provide heat, if the user has already caught a cold, the cold can still penetrate the protector and cause pain in the knees. It only offers minor relief and cannot actively treat or immunize the knees, resulting in poor protection. Furthermore, during prolonged running, the existing protector cannot massage the leg muscles, which are under high stress after running. Without proper massage, these muscles will feel sore, affecting the next day's exercise and potentially exacerbating rheumatic pain, increasing discomfort.
[0004] This invention was made to address the common problems encountered in the use of joint protective sleeves in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of current infusion sets by proposing a joint protector for rheumatology and immunology.
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A joint protector for rheumatism and immune disorders includes a joint sleeve with an inner layer of insulating fleece glued in place. A slot is formed on one side of the joint sleeve, and a knee brace is sewn onto the same side. Both the joint sleeve and the knee brace are made of breathable material. The knee brace is smaller than the slot and is used in conjunction with it. A first heating element and a second heating element are installed inside the joint sleeve and the knee brace, respectively. A power supply socket is located on one side of the knee brace, with a temperature adjustment knob on one side. A charging port is located on the front of the power supply socket. A medicine pouch for use with external ointment is sewn into the inside of the knee brace. An inflatable airbag is located on the other side of the joint sleeve, with wear-resistant plates installed at the top and bottom. Massage airbags are symmetrically glued into the inside of the joint sleeve, and massage bumps are integrally machined onto their surfaces.
[0008] Optionally, a flexible mounting cover is fixedly fitted onto the surface of the power supply base. The other end of the flexible mounting cover is sewn to one side of the knee pad. The flexible mounting cover is made of artificial rubber. By setting the flexible mounting cover, the device can be fixed on the knee pad to provide power and heat to the first heating element and the second heating element. A temperature adjustment knob is installed on one side of the power supply base.
[0009] Optionally, two male Velcro closures are sewn onto one side of the knee brace, and these male Velcro closures are aligned and sewn together. A female Velcro closure is sewn onto one side of the joint sleeve. The male and female Velcro closures work together to limit the knee brace when it is inserted into the slot and to seal the gap between the knee brace and the slot, thereby improving the stability of the fixation between the knee brace and the joint sleeve.
[0010] Optionally, a connecting flange is installed on each of the two massage airbags on opposite sides. An inflation tube connects the connecting flange and the inflatable airbag. By setting up the connecting flange and the inflation tube, the air generated by the inflatable airbag can be forced into the interior of the massage airbag, causing the massage airbag to inflate and thereby drive the massage protrusions to massage the user.
[0011] Optionally, a limiting block is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the inflatable airbag. The limiting block is made of rubber, and the other end of the limiting block is bonded to the surface of the joint sleeve. By setting the limiting block, the inflatable airbag can be limited and fixed to the surface of the joint sleeve.
[0012] Optionally, a clamping block is glued to the other side of the joint sleeve. There are two clamping blocks, which are used in conjunction with the wear-resistant plate. By setting the clamping blocks, the distance between the two clamping blocks becomes shorter when the user's leg is bent, thereby compressing the airbag towards the middle and achieving the purpose of inflating the massage airbag.
[0013] Optionally, the surface of the joint sleeve is sewn with a thigh restraint strap for use with the user, and the surface of the joint sleeve is sewn with a calf restraint strap for use with the user. The thigh restraint strap and the calf restraint strap can be used to fix it more stably on the user's leg and prevent it from slipping off.
[0014] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are:
[0015] 1. By installing insulating fleece inside the joint sleeve, and with a first heating pad inside the joint sleeve and a second heating pad inside the knee pad, active heating can be provided to the knee joint of morning exercisers to prevent the invasion of external wind and cold. In addition, when used with a medicine pouch, it can be used to apply medicine to rheumatism patients, improving the effect of rheumatism immune treatment.
[0016] 2. By installing massage protrusions on the surface of the massage airbag, and using it in conjunction with the inflatable airbag and the compression block, the inflatable airbag can be in a state of expansion and contraction when the user wears the device. This inflates the massage airbag and allows the massage protrusions to massage the user's legs, preventing leg pain and improving user comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example 1: A joint protector for rheumatism and immunity, comprising a joint protector 1, with a thigh restraint strap 22 sewn onto the surface of the joint protector 1 for use with the user, and a calf restraint strap 23 sewn onto the surface of the joint protector 1 for use with the user. The installation of the thigh restraint strap 22 and the calf restraint strap 23 ensures a more stable fit on the user's leg, preventing slippage. Insulating fleece 2 is glued to the inside of the joint protector 1. A slot 3 is provided on one side of the joint protector 1, and a knee brace 4 is sewn onto one side of the joint protector 1. A restraining Velcro fastener 16 is sewn onto one side of the knee brace 4 for restraint. Two male Velcro straps 16 are sewn in alignment. A limiting Velcro strap 17 is sewn onto one side of the joint sleeve 1. The limiting Velcro straps 16 and 17 work together to limit the knee brace 4 when it is inserted into the slot 3, and to seal the gap between the knee brace 4 and the slot 3, thus improving the stability of the fixation between the knee brace 4 and the joint sleeve 1. Both the joint sleeve 1 and the knee brace 4 are made of breathable material. The size of the knee brace 4 is smaller than the size of the slot 3. The knee brace 4 works in conjunction with the slot 3, and the inner surface of the joint sleeve 1... The knee brace 4 and the knee pad 4 are respectively equipped with a first heating element 5 and a second heating element 6. A power supply base 7 is provided on one side of the knee brace 4. A flexible mounting cover 15 is fixedly fitted onto the surface of the power supply base 7. The other end of the flexible mounting cover 15 is sewn to one side of the knee brace 4. The flexible mounting cover 15 is made of artificial rubber. By using the flexible mounting cover 15 made of artificial rubber, the device can be fixed on the knee brace 4 to provide power and heating for the first heating element 5 and the second heating element 6. A temperature adjustment knob 8 is installed on one side of the power supply base 7. A charging socket 9 is opened on the front of the power supply base 7. The inside of the knee brace 4 is sewn with a medicated plaster for use with external ointment. The other side of the joint sleeve 1 is equipped with an inflatable airbag 11. The top and bottom of the inflatable airbag 11 are fitted with wear-resistant plates 12. Massage airbags 13 are symmetrically bonded inside the joint sleeve 1. Massage bumps 14 are integrally machined on the surface of the massage airbags 13. By installing a heat-insulating fleece 2 inside the joint sleeve 1, and by installing a first heating plate 5 inside the joint sleeve 1 and a second heating plate 6 inside the knee pad 4, active heating can be provided to the knee joints of people exercising in the morning, preventing the invasion of external wind and cold. In addition, when used with the medicine pocket 10, it can be used to apply medicine to patients with rheumatism, improving the effect of rheumatism immune treatment.
[0026] Working principle: When the device is worn, the heating temperature of the first heating element 5 and the second heating element 6 is controlled by the temperature adjustment knob 8. After completion, the first heating element 5 and the second heating element 6 actively heat the user's legs to prevent the invasion of external wind and cold, and improve the warmth of the user's legs. In addition, the space inside the medicine pouch 10 can hold medicine packs for treating rheumatism, which can actively treat users with rheumatism and improve the user's rheumatism immunity.
[0027] Example 2: This example should be understood as including at least all the features of any of the foregoing examples, and further improving upon them. Specifically, it provides a joint protective sleeve for rheumatism and immunity, including a joint sleeve 1. Two clamping blocks 21 are glued to the other side of the joint sleeve 1. The clamping blocks 21 work in conjunction with a wear-resistant plate 12. By using the clamping blocks 21, the distance between the two clamping blocks 21 shortens when the user's leg is bent, thereby compressing the inflatable airbag 11 towards the center, achieving the purpose of inflating the massage airbag 13. The interior of the joint sleeve 1 is glued with… The unit consists of an insulating plush 2 and a joint sleeve 1. A slot 3 is provided on one side of the joint sleeve 1, and a knee pad 4 is sewn to one side of the joint sleeve 1. Both the joint sleeve 1 and the knee pad 4 are made of breathable material. The knee pad 4 is smaller than the slot 3 and is used in conjunction with the slot 3. A first heating element 5 and a second heating element 6 are installed inside the joint sleeve 1 and the knee pad 4, respectively. A power supply base 7 is located on one side of the knee pad 4, and a temperature adjustment knob 8 is installed on one side of the power supply base 7. A charging port 9 is located on the front of the power supply base 7. A medicine pouch 10 for use with external ointment is sewn inside the knee pad 4. An inflation mechanism is located on the other side of the joint sleeve 1. An airbag 11 is inflated, and a limiting block 20, made of rubber, is fixedly fitted onto its surface. The other end of the limiting block 20 is bonded to the surface of the joint sleeve 1. The limiting block 20 limits the inflatable airbag 11, fixing it to the surface of the joint sleeve 1. Wear-resistant plates 12 are installed at the top and bottom of the inflatable airbag 11. Massage airbags 13 are symmetrically bonded inside the joint sleeve 1. Connecting flanges 18 are installed on opposite sides of the two massage airbags 13. An inflation tube 19 connects the connecting flanges 18 and the inflatable airbag 11. The air generated by the inflatable airbag 11 can be forced into the massage airbag 13, causing the massage airbag 13 to inflate. This, in turn, causes the massage protrusions 14 to massage the user. The massage protrusions 14 are integrally machined on the surface of the massage airbag 13. By using the massage protrusions 14 on the surface of the massage airbag 13, in conjunction with the inflatable airbag 11 and the clamping block 21, the inflatable airbag 11 can be in an expanding and contracting state when the user wears the device. This inflates the massage airbag 13, allowing the massage protrusions 14 to massage the user's legs, preventing leg pain and improving user comfort.
[0028] Working principle: When the user uses the device, the distance between the two pressing blocks 21 shortens when the knee is bent, and they come into contact with the wear-resistant blocks, compressing the two wear-resistant blocks towards the middle. This compresses the inflatable airbag 11, causing the airbag 11 to inflate under the action of the inflation tube 19. The massage airbag 13 then inflates, causing the massage protrusions 14 to massage the user's legs, improving user comfort, preventing leg soreness caused by exercise, and accelerating blood circulation.
