[0029] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the upper protective gear 1, the lower protective gear 404, the fixing strap 2, and the binding strap 3 are mainly made of cotton and wool, and Lycra, polyester, nylon, etc. are also added to increase elasticity;

[0030] The connector 401, the connecting plate 402, and the connecting block 407 are made of a tough plastic material, while the upper rotating part 408 and the lower rotating part 403 are made of hard plastic.

[0031] The retaining ring 5 is made of hard plastic or metal; the end of the strap 3 is divided into two areas, one area is sewn with a hook and loop fastener and the other area is sewn with a hook and loop fastener.

[0032] Specifically, during use, the user wraps the upper support 1 around the upper hip joint, passes the strap 3 through the buckle 5, and secures it, fixing the upper support 1 to the upper hip joint. Then, the lower support 404 is fastened inwards and attached to the female Velcro 406 via the female Velcro 405, fixing the lower support 404 to the lower hip joint, providing all-around support for the hip joint. During the user's movement, the lower rotating part 403 on the connecting plate 402 of the connector 401 rotates via the pin on the upper rotating part 408 on the connecting block 407 of the lower support 404, satisfying the bending movement of the hip joint. During the movement, the lower support 404 will not move upwards, avoiding discomfort in the groin area.

[0033] A telescopic structure 12 is installed between the connecting plate 402 and the connecting piece 401, and the telescopic structure 12 corresponds one-to-one with the connecting piece 401;

[0034] The telescopic structure 12 includes a sleeve 13, a through hole 14, a groove 15, a spring 16, and a ball 17;

[0035] Sleeve 13 is installed on connector 401 and sleeved over connecting plate 402. Through holes 14 are formed on sleeve 13, and there are no fewer than five through holes 14.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the sleeve 13 is made of hard plastic and the sphere 17 is made of metal.

[0037] Specifically, during use, the connecting plate 402 extends and retracts along the sleeve 13 on the connecting piece 401. After the position is adjusted, the elasticity of the spring 16 causes the ball 17 to be inserted into the corresponding through hole 14, so that the lower guard 404 is adjusted and fixed in the groin position. The hip guard can be adjusted according to different hip joint sizes.

[0038] A breathable pad 11 is sewn onto the lower protective gear 404, and the breathable pad 11 corresponds one-to-one with the lower protective gear 404;

[0039] An air cushion 8 is sewn onto the upper protective gear 1. A hose 9 is installed inside the inflation port of the air cushion 8, and an air pump 10 is connected to the hose 9.

[0040] The upper protective gear 1 is sewn with four restraint straps 7, and each strap 3 passes through the parallel restraint straps 7.

[0041] A cloth bag 18 is sewn onto the upper protective gear 1, and a piercing 6 is sewn onto the other end of the strap 3.

[0042] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the breathable soft pad 11 is made of pure cotton, the air pump 10 is model BL01, and the hose 9 is connected to the air outlet of the air pump 10 (closely fitted and detachable).

[0043] The restraint belt 7 is made of cloth, and the headgear 6 is made of leather; the cloth bag 18 is used to store the air pump 10; the air cushion 8 is smaller than the upper protective gear 1, and the air cushion 8 is made of high-density nylon cloth, which is not breathable.

[0044] Specifically, during use, the limiting strap 7 helps the strap 3 to be better fixed on the upper protective gear 1, while the thread 6 makes it easy for the strap 3 to be inserted into the buckle 5. After the upper protective gear 1 is fixed, the air pump 10 is taken out from the cloth bag 18, the air pump 10 is started, and air is pumped into the air cushion 8 through the hose 9, causing the air cushion 8 to inflate, so that the upper protective gear 1 fits the hip joint better and provides stable support.

[0045] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0046] The working process and principle of this utility model are as follows: In use, the user wraps the upper support 1 around the upper hip joint, passes the strap 3 through the buckle 5, and secures it. The upper support 1 is then fixed in place at the upper hip joint. Next, the lower support 404 is fastened inwards via the female Velcro 405 to the female Velcro 406, fixing the lower support 404 in place at the lower hip joint. The connecting plate 402 extends and retracts along the sleeve 13 on the connecting piece 401. After adjustment, the elasticity of the spring 16 causes the ball 17 to engage with the corresponding through hole 14, allowing the lower support 404 to be adjusted and fixed to the crotch area. The hip support can be adjusted according to different hip joint sizes. After adjustment, the upper support 1 and the lower support 404... It can provide all-round support for the hip joint. During the user's movement, the lower rotating part 403 on the connecting plate 402 of the connector 401 rotates through the pin on the upper rotating part 408 on the connecting block 407 of the lower protective gear 404, satisfying the bending movement of the hip joint. During the movement, the lower protective gear 404 will not move upward to avoid discomfort in the groin area. During use, the limiting strap 7 makes the strap 3 better fixed on the upper protective gear 1, and the thread 6 makes it easy for the strap 3 to be inserted into the buckle 5. After the upper protective gear 1 is fixed, the air pump 10 is taken out from the cloth bag 18 and the air pump 10 is turned on. The air pump 10 inflates the air cushion 8 through the hose 9, so that the upper protective gear 1 fits the hip joint better and provides stable support.

[0047] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
