Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment, specifically a knee brace. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of sports and fitness and the prevalence of manual labor, the knee, as a vital joint in the human body, bears significant pressure and impact. Knee braces play a crucial role in protecting the knees from injury, relieving joint fatigue, and preventing sports injuries. Whether athletes, fitness enthusiasts, or those engaged in heavy physical labor, there is a growing demand for high-performance and user-friendly knee braces.

[0003] Traditional knee braces have a relatively simple structural design. They are usually just one or more layers of fabric, lacking targeted protection for different parts of the body. In terms of fixation, they often use simple straps or adhesive tape, which are not only cumbersome to wear but also prone to loosening or shifting during exercise, affecting their protective effect. Furthermore, they do not provide sufficient cushioning protection for the knee, making them unsuitable for high-intensity exercise or prolonged labor.

[0004] Generally, the main fabric part of the knee brace is made first, and then some simple cushioning materials, such as sponge, are added inside or on the surface. When wearing it, it is secured by tying a knot behind the knee with a drawstring, or by attaching a few Velcro straps to the edges of the knee brace. There is no effective adjustment mechanism for the fit between the knee brace and the leg, or for stability during exercise; it relies solely on basic size adaptation.

[0005] Current technologies struggle to provide precise knee protection and cannot offer targeted protection based on the stress characteristics of different areas of the knee. The fixation methods are often unstable and lack flexibility, easily shifting during strenuous exercise and causing the protection to fail. The cushioning effect is limited, failing to effectively absorb and disperse the impact on the knee, potentially leading to knee discomfort or even injury after prolonged use, and thus failing to meet the needs of diverse usage scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a knee brace device to solve the technical problems of inconvenience in wearing existing knee braces, inaccurate protection, and insufficient cushioning.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a knee pad device, including an inner pad, a pair of limiting rings symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the inner pad, an outer pad movably arranged within the pair of limiting rings, a connecting structure provided at both ends of the inner pad and the outer pad, and a plurality of connecting straps provided on one side of the inner pad, the connecting straps connecting to the knee pad body.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the combination of inner and outer pads is achieved, and the main body of the knee brace is installed at the same time.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the connecting strap is connected to the knee pad body by a buckle.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, disassembly and installation are convenient.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the connecting structure includes a first hook and loop fastener, which is disposed at corresponding positions on the inner and outer pads, and a second hook and loop fastener is disposed on the other end of the inner and outer pads in conjunction with the first hook and loop fastener.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a tight installation between the outer and inner pads can be achieved.

[0013] The present invention is further provided that a cushioning pad is provided on the side of the knee brace body near the inner pad.

[0014] The above-mentioned technical solutions are used to protect the knees.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the outer pad passes through the underside of the knee brace body.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the knee is protected while the outer padding is further tightened.

[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0018] 1. This utility model involves first attaching the outer and inner pads to the knee using the knee brace, then securing them together with the first and second Velcro straps. Next, the knee brace body is connected to the inner pad using connecting straps and buckles. This installation method is simple and quick, ensuring the knee brace doesn't easily come loose during use. It fits snugly against the knee, providing reliable protection for the knee during various activities, and is suitable for both daily exercise and high-intensity training.

[0019] 2. This utility model features an outer pad that passes under the main body of the knee brace when in use. While the main body protects the knee, the movement of the outer pad is effectively restricted. Furthermore, the cushioning pad on the main body absorbs and disperses the impact force on the knee, further enhancing its protective performance, effectively reducing the pressure on the knee during exercise, lowering the risk of injury, and making exercise safer and more comfortable for the user.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0027] A knee brace, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes an inner pad 1. A pair of limiting rings 5 ​​are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the inner pad 1. An outer pad 2 is movably arranged within the pair of limiting rings 5. Both ends of the inner pad 1 and the outer pad 2 are provided with connecting structures. Several connecting straps 3 are provided on one side of the inner pad 1. The connecting straps 3 are connected to the knee brace body 4. In actual use, the outer pad 2 works in conjunction with the inner pad 1 to provide the main knee brace effect. At the same time, the connection between the connecting straps 3 and the knee brace body 4 is connected by buckles 9. The buckles 9 facilitate the connection and removal of the breathing body 4 and the connecting straps, making it convenient to install the entire device.

[0028] Furthermore, the connection structure includes a first Velcro 6, which is disposed at corresponding positions on the inner pad 1 and the outer pad 2. The other end of the inner pad 1 and the outer pad 2 is provided with a second Velcro 7 in conjunction with the first Velcro 6. Through the cooperation of the first Velcro 6 and the second Velcro 7, the inner pad 2 and the outer pad 1 are bound to the knee, and the knee brace body 4 is installed in the designated position to protect the knee.

[0029] The knee brace body 4 has a cushioning pad 8 on the side near the inner pad 1. The cushioning pad 8 works in conjunction with the knee brace body 4 to protect the knee.

[0030] The outer pad 2 passes through the knee brace body 4 from below. While protecting the knee, the knee brace body 4 can also limit the movement of the outer pad 2.
