[0028] In order to make the purpose and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is specifically described in combination with the following embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific implementations of the utility model, and does not strictly limit the protection scope of the specific request of the utility model.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, and refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The foot corresponding structure diagram shows a structure for fixing and protecting the ankle joint of a sock, comprising a forefoot protection part 4, a sole and instep protection part 3, a heel and ankle protection part 2 and a lower leg sock tube 5 which are arranged in sequence. The forefoot protection part 4 and the sole and instep protection part 3, the sole and instep protection part 3 and the heel and ankle protection part 2, and the heel and ankle protection part 2 and the lower leg sock tube 5 are integrally arranged by weaving to form a sock body 1, which is worn and sleeved on the foot, and is extended and sleeved on the lower part of the calf.

[0030] Furthermore, the heel and ankle protection part 2 corresponds to the position of the ankle 6, and the heel and ankle protection part 2 is located on the upper surface of the ankle 6 and is respectively provided with an arch connecting part 21 and a connecting part 22. The connecting part 22 is extended toward both sides and is provided with a strip-shaped ankle protection strip 25, and the ankle protection strip 25 embraces the surface of the ankle 6.

[0031] Furthermore, a strip-shaped annular Achilles tendon protection portion 24 is provided at the other side of the heel and ankle protection portion 2 corresponding to the position of the Achilles tendon portion 8, and the Achilles tendon protection portion 24 and the ankle protection strip 25 are elastically contracted on both sides.

[0032] According to the above structure, the principle of protecting the ankle joint is:

[0033] First, the heel and ankle protection part 2 is fitly fitted on the upper surface of the ankle 6 through the embracing contraction between the ankle protection strip 25 and the Achilles tendon protection part 24, and the elastic expansion and contraction of the arch connection part 21 can adapt to the stretching movement of the heel and ankle protection part 2 caused by the bending of the ankle 6 during exercise, thereby avoiding the displacement of the heel and ankle protection part 2 and the sole and instep protection part 3, and the thickness of the heel and ankle protection part 2 is greater than one-third of the thickness of the sole and instep protection part 3, thereby enhancing the overall support of the heel and ankle protection part 2, and in the process of moving the ankle 6, the extension and contraction of the arch connection part 21, the connection part 22 and the ankle protection strip 25 are coordinated to avoid displacement of the heel and ankle protection part 2, avoid friction with the ankle 6, and avoid friction damage to the ankle 6.

[0034] In addition, after the ankle protection strip 25 is tightened, the Achilles tendon protection part 24 is tightened and pulled, and the stacking compression and extension of the Achilles tendon protection parts 24 are coordinated to avoid displacement of the position of the corresponding ankle protection strip 25.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 The lower leg sock 5 is located at the top of the heel and ankle protection part 2, and a front filling part 51 is provided on the lower leg sock 5 at a position corresponding to the connecting part 22, and a rear tightening part 52 elastically contracted with the front filling part 51 is provided on the other side of the lower leg sock 5.

[0036] Furthermore, the end of the lower leg sock 5 is a tightening sock 53, which is located at a position corresponding to the connection part 9 between the Achilles tendon and the calf muscle, and is provided with an elastic tightening part 54 that can be elastically contracted.

[0037] Specific reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 During walking or running, the connection part 9 between the Achilles tendon and the calf muscle is a sunken part. Due to the stretching of the Achilles tendon 8 by the heel 7, the position of the connection part 9 between the Achilles tendon and the calf muscle will be moved up and down, and the muscle thickness inside it will increase and decrease, so that the thickness of the leg surrounding the connection part 9 between the Achilles tendon and the calf muscle will change. If the tightening sock 53 is too tight, the compression of the connection part 9 between the Achilles tendon and the calf muscle will increase, and even affect blood circulation, causing discomfort when wearing. If it is too loose, it will easily fall off, causing the tightening sock 53 to come into contact with the sweat hair. Slight friction will be generated between the legs, which will cause itching if they are sensitive, and may even clamp the leg hair and cause pain. When the tightening sock 53 is set to have moderate elasticity, the elastic tightening part 54 is set to fit the connecting part 9 between the Achilles tendon and the calf muscle. The elastic tightening part 54 moves with the connecting part 9 between the Achilles tendon and the calf muscle, thereby ensuring that the elastic tightening part 54 and the connecting part 9 between the Achilles tendon and the calf muscle do not fall off or are overly contracted and clamped when they are in contact with each other. In combination with the expansion and contraction of the rear tightening part 52, the ability to prevent falling off can be further improved.

[0038] Therefore, the sock part at the lower leg sock tube 5 will not fall off, and will not cause squeezing and accumulation on the heel and ankle protection part 2, thereby improving the stability of the heel and ankle protection part 2 in protecting the ankle 6 and avoiding displacement of the heel and ankle protection part 2.

[0039] Please combine Figure 2 In order to further enhance the protection of the ankle 6, especially the tibia, fibula and both sides of the ankle 6, therefore, a plurality of parallel ankle protection strips 2 26 are arranged on the inner side of the plurality of parallel ankle protection strips 1 25, and are staggeredly connected by the plurality of ankle protection strips 2. The ankle protection strips 1 25 and the ankle protection strips 2 26 are integrally arranged by weaving. On the one hand, the thickness can be increased to enhance the protection of the tibia, fibula and both sides of the ankle 6. On the other hand, the staggered arrangement can reduce the compression and stretching effect of the ankle during exercise, thereby achieving the fixation of the position of the heel and ankle protection part 2 and the protection of the ankle 6.

[0040] Furthermore, the spacing between the ankle protection strip 26 gradually decreases from the middle of the ankle protection strip 1 25 to both sides. The principle is as follows: the middle positions of the ankle protection strips 1 25 and 26 can correspond to the tibia and fibula, and the tensile force on the outside of the ankle protection strips 1 25 and 26 can be greater than the tensile force in the middle by reducing the spacing on the outside. This allows the middle parts of the ankle protection strips 1 25 and 26 to always be wrapped around the outside of the tibia and fibula, thereby avoiding displacement of the heel and ankle protection part 2 and improving the fixation and positioning effect.

[0041] Furthermore, a heel sole protection portion 23 is provided at the bottom of the heel and ankle protection portion 2 located relative to the arch connection portion 21. The heel sole protection portion 23 is strip-shaped. The heel sole protection portion 23 improves the overall position fixing ability of the heel and ankle protection portion 2, and the heel sole protection portion 23 improves the thickened protection of the heel 7 and the front end to reduce the impact.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 An elastic mesh portion 41 is provided on the upper front surface of the forefoot protection portion 4 to facilitate ventilation of the front end, and a sole protection portion 42 is provided at the bottom corresponding to the elastic mesh portion 41 to protect the sole of the foot.

[0043] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for ordinary technicians in the technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to the conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
