Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sports protective gear, in particular to a buffer structure of a sports anti-collision protective gear. Background Art

[0002] When athletes are engaged in intense sports such as baseball, hockey, skating, and rugby, it is inevitable that they will fall or collide. If no protective measures are taken during the fall or collision, the impact force will directly act on the human body, which will easily cause injuries. Therefore, athletes will wear protective gear with protective effects to protect their bodies.

[0003] Most of the existing protective gears on the market adopt a hard outer shell, which is used to resist the impact brought by the protective gear during impact. A buffer layer is covered inside the hard outer shell, and the buffer layer is in contact with the athlete's body. The buffer layer can reduce the direct impact of the hard outer shell on the athlete's body when the hard outer shell is impacted.

[0004] The above-mentioned hard outer shell is covered with a buffer layer as the interface in contact with the human body. However, the hard outer shell is in direct contact with the buffer layer, so although the hard outer shell can offset part of the impact force, most of the impact force generated when the hard outer shell hits the impact object head-on is still directly transmitted from the hard outer shell to the buffer layer and acts on the athlete's body. The intensity of the buffered impact force is limited, so that when the athlete collides with a hard object, although there is the protection of the protective gear, the athlete will still feel pain due to the poor impact force reduction of the protective gear. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a buffer structure of a sports anti-collision protective gear, further buffer the impact force on the protective gear, and improve the comfort of using the protective gear.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the buffer structure of a sports anti-collision protective gear disclosed by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] It includes an energy absorption plate and a buffer plate. Both the energy absorption plate and the buffer plate are made of elastic materials. The energy absorption plate includes an annular frame. A plurality of spaced-apart energy absorption parts are laid flat inside the annular frame. A connecting block is fixedly connected between two adjacent energy absorption parts. A cavity is formed inside the energy absorption part. A plurality of the energy absorption parts are combined into an energy absorption net. The inner side of the annular frame is fixedly connected to the energy absorption net. The buffer plate covers one end of the annular frame.

[0008] As a preferred solution, reinforcing ribs extend inside the cavity.

[0009] As a preferred solution, the cross-section of the energy absorption part is a polygon.

[0010] As a preferred solution, an annular step extends from one end of the annular frame, and the buffer plate is snapped into the annular step.

[0011] As a preferred solution, a first ventilation hole is formed between four adjacent energy absorption parts. A plurality of second ventilation holes arranged at intervals are formed in the buffer plate. The second ventilation holes are communicated with the first ventilation hole. An opening is formed at one end of the energy absorption part, and the opening is communicated with the cavity. A plurality of third ventilation holes arranged at intervals are formed in the buffer plate, and the third ventilation holes are communicated with the opening.

[0012] As a preferred solution, the energy absorption plate is made of PET material.

[0013] As a preferred solution, the buffer plate is made of RB foam material.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the buffer structure of a sports anti-collision protective gear disclosed by the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] The protective gear is attached to the athlete's clothes, and the buffer plate contacts the athlete's clothes. When a hard object hits the protective gear, the hard object first hits the energy absorption part on the energy absorption plate. The cavity enables the energy absorption part to improve its own elasticity like an inflated balloon, so that the energy absorption part generates elastic deformation to offset part of the impact force. Moreover, the adjacent two energy absorption parts are folded through the connecting block therebetween, so that the energy absorption plate has a deformation process of inward depression to buffer the impact force. When the energy absorption plate depresses inward, it presses and compresses the buffer plate, and the buffer plate further buffers the impact force of the hard object hitting, realizing the gradual buffering of the impact force of the hard object with softness against hardness, reducing the pain of the athlete after being hit, and improving the comfort of using the protective gear.

[0020] The following further elaborates and explains the present utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings of the specification:

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 .

[0022] A buffer structure of a sports anti-collision protector disclosed by the present utility model includes an energy absorption plate 1 and a buffer plate 2, and both the energy absorption plate 1 and the buffer plate 2 are made of elastic materials.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 。

[0024] In this embodiment, it is preferred that the energy absorption plate 1 is made of PET material. The energy absorption plate 1 made of PET material has stronger elastic deformation ability while being lighter in weight, which can reduce the overall weight of the protector. The energy absorption plate 1 includes an annular frame 11. An annular step 111 extends on the end face of one end of the annular frame 11. The annular step 111 is close to the outside of the annular frame 11. An installation groove is formed on the end face of one end of the annular frame 11 inside the annular step 111.

[0025] A plurality of spaced energy absorption parts 12 are laid flat inside the annular frame 11. The end face of one end of the energy absorption part 12 is lower than the annular step 111. The cross-section of the energy absorption part 12 is a polygon. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the cross-section of the energy absorption part 12 is a quadrilateral and is a rhombus. The rhombus-shaped energy absorption parts 12 can be arranged more closely inside the annular frame 11. A connecting block 121 is fixedly connected between two adjacent energy absorption parts 12. The thickness of the connecting block 121 is less than that of the energy absorption part 12. The connecting block 121 is located on the straight side of the rhombus-shaped energy absorption part 12. When two adjacent energy absorption parts 12 are hit, the two adjacent energy absorption parts 12 can bend the connecting block 121 to form a sunken effect on the energy absorption plate 1. The energy absorption plate 1 buffers part of the impact force when hitting a hard object during the sunken process, and when two adjacent energy absorption parts 12 are hit and elastically deformed, there is enough deformation space.

[0026] A cavity 122 is opened inside the energy absorption part 12. An opening is opened on the end face of one end of the energy absorption part 12. The cavity 122 is communicated with the opening, so that the air in the cavity 122 is discharged through the opening when the energy absorption part 12 is squeezed. When the energy absorption part 12 is hit, the energy absorption part 12 can deform into the cavity 122, thereby improving the effect of the energy absorption part 12 buffering the impact force brought by hitting a hard object. And the cavity 122 makes the energy absorption part 12 in a hollow shape, which can further reduce the weight of the energy absorption plate 1. A reinforcing rib 123 extends from the bottom of the cavity 122. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the reinforcing rib 123 is in a cross shape. The four contact ends of the reinforcing rib 123 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 122. The contact ends of the reinforcing rib 123 are close to the connecting block 121. When the energy absorption part 12 is elastically deformed by hitting a hard object, the cross-shaped reinforcing rib 123 can improve the anti-deformation ability of the energy absorption part 12, further improving the effect of the energy absorption part 12 buffering the impact force brought by hitting a hard object. And after the energy absorption part 12 loses the extrusion of the hard object, the reinforcing rib 123 pushes the energy absorption part 12 to rebound, avoiding plastic deformation of the energy absorption part 12.

[0027] A first ventilation hole 13 is formed between four adjacent energy-absorbing parts 12. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the first ventilation hole 13 is close to the corner of the energy-absorbing part 12.

[0028] Multiple energy-absorbing parts 12 are combined into an energy-absorbing net, and the inner side of the annular frame 11 is fixedly connected to multiple energy-absorbing parts 12 located on the periphery of the energy-absorbing net.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 。

[0030] In this embodiment, it is preferred that the buffer plate 2 is made of RB foaming material. The buffer plate 2 made of RB foaming material has stronger elastic fatigue and good toughness; multiple second ventilation holes 21 arranged at intervals are formed on the buffer plate 2, and the second ventilation holes 21 penetrate through the buffer plate 2. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the number of the second ventilation holes 21 is less than that of the first ventilation holes 13; multiple third ventilation holes 22 arranged at intervals are formed on the buffer plate 2, and the third ventilation holes 22 penetrate through the buffer plate 2; the buffer plate 2 covers the end face of one end of the annular frame 11, and the buffer plate 2 is clamped into the installation groove of the annular step 111, and the installation groove of the annular step 111 fixes the buffer plate 2 on the annular frame 11; the second ventilation holes 21 communicate with the adjacent first ventilation holes 13, and the third ventilation holes 22 communicate with the opening.

[0031] Usage method and structural operation principle:

[0032] The protective gear is attached to the athlete's clothes, the buffer plate 2 contacts the athlete's clothes, and the energy-absorbing plate 1 is located on the outside; when the outside hard object hits the protective gear, the energy-absorbing part 12 on the energy-absorbing plate 1 sinks into the cavity 122 to buffer part of the impact force. Moreover, the air in the cavity 122 is squeezed out from the third ventilation hole 22. Since the buffer plate 2 is closely attached to the athlete's clothes and the skin of the athlete is under the clothes, it requires a certain extrusion force for the air in the cavity 122 to be discharged from the third ventilation hole 22. Thus, the cavity that slowly discharges air allows the energy-absorbing part 12 to buffer part of the impact force; two adjacent energy-absorbing parts 12 are connected by the connecting block 121 between the bends to buffer part of the impact force. Moreover, when two adjacent energy-absorbing parts 12 pass through the connecting block 121 between the bends, they simultaneously squeeze the buffer plate 2, and the buffer plate 2 elastically sinks to buffer most of the impact force, realizing gradually buffering the impact force brought by the impact of the hard object with softness, reducing the pain of the athlete after being hit.

[0033] When the athlete is exercising, the skin will emit the heat in the body. The heat emitted by the skin covered by the protective gear is discharged from the clothes, the second ventilation holes 21, and the first ventilation holes 13 to the outside of the protective gear in sequence, solving the problem that the skin covered by the protective gear will feel stuffy.

[0034] Since this protective gear has a flat structure, by adjusting the contour dimensions of the annular frame 11, this protective gear can be placed in the interlayer of clothes and trousers, thereby protecting body parts such as the chest, back, abdomen, arms, legs, and knees, with strong expandability. Moreover, since both the energy-absorbing plate 1 and the buffer plate 2 are made of elastic materials, the protective gear can be bent according to the body surface contour of the athlete, making the buffer plate 2 fit more closely to the athlete's skin.

[0035] The utility model provides a buffer structure for a sports anti-collision protective gear. The protective gear is attached to the athlete's clothes, and the buffer plate contacts the athlete's clothes. When a hard object impacts the protective gear, the hard object first impacts the energy-absorbing part on the energy-absorbing plate. The cavity enables the energy-absorbing part to increase its own elasticity like an inflated balloon, causing the energy-absorbing part to undergo elastic deformation to offset part of the impact force. Moreover, two adjacent energy-absorbing parts are folded through the connecting block therebetween, enabling the energy-absorbing plate to have a deformation process of inward depression to buffer the impact force. When the energy-absorbing plate depresses inward, it presses and compresses the buffer plate, and the buffer plate further buffers the impact force of the hard object impact, realizing the gradual buffering of the impact force of the hard object with softness against hardness, reducing the pain of the athlete after being impacted, and enhancing the comfort of using the protective gear.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than limiting the protection scope of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the utility model can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the utility model.
