Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a highly comfortable knee brace, belonging to the field of knee braces. Background Technology

[0002] Knee braces are items used to protect people's knees. They have the functions of sports protection, cold protection and warmth, and joint maintenance. They are divided into sports knee braces and health care knee braces. They are suitable for athletes, middle-aged and elderly people, and patients with knee diseases. The functions of knee braces are threefold: immobilization, heat preservation, and health care.

[0003] Chinese patent discloses a sports protective knee brace (publication number: CN 211211545 U). The knee brace has a protective shell fitted around its outer surface center, and heat-insulating components are fixedly installed on its outer and inner surfaces. The upper and lower sides of the protective shell are fitted onto the outer surface of the knee brace with elastic bands, and connecting devices are fixedly installed at both ends of the protective shell. The heat-insulating component of this invention utilizes a layer on the surface of the knee brace. A zipper is installed on the outer surface of the layer, allowing the layer to be opened and a heat-insulating block to be inserted. The heat-insulating block contains a polymer synthesized from iron powder, stone, activated carbon, inorganic salts, and water, which undergoes an exothermic reaction with oxygen in the air, acting on the user's knee. This design facilitates replacement. Simultaneously, an absorbent layer installed on the inner side of the knee brace effectively absorbs sweat through ventilation holes after exercise, and an anti-slip strip installed on the inner side prevents it from falling off during exercise and walking, thus improving the heat-insulating effect.

[0004] Traditional knee braces, once worn, can easily cause the upper and lower knees to pinch the pants when bending and standing up. Furthermore, when bending with knee braces on, the wearer's knees may feel a pressing sensation, greatly reducing comfort. Prolonged wear may also damage the meniscus. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a highly comfortable knee brace to solve the problems of traditional knee braces, which, after being worn, tend to trap pants when bending and standing up, and also cause a feeling of pressure on the knee when bending, greatly reducing the wearer's comfort. Furthermore, prolonged wear may cause damage to the meniscus.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a highly comfortable knee brace, comprising a lower knee brace, a connecting strap, a fixing strap, a protective structure, and an upper knee brace. The left and right ends of the lower knee brace are respectively fixed to the fixing strap and the connecting strap. A protective structure is provided at the top of the lower knee brace, and the rear end of the protective structure is fixed to the upper knee brace. The protective structure includes a lower protective plate, a movable plate, and an upper protective plate. The top of the lower protective plate is movably fitted with the movable plate. The upper protective plate covers the upper rear side of the movable plate. The bottom of the lower protective plate is fixed to the lower knee brace. The lower end of the movable plate is connected to both the lower and upper knee braces. The bottom of the upper protective plate is fixed to the upper knee brace.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper end of the inner side of the lower knee brace is in close contact with the upper knee brace.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer surface of the connecting strip is provided with a rough surface, and the inner side of the fixing strip is provided with a hook surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the lower protective plate is provided with a "V" shaped concave surface, and the lower end of the movable plate is provided with a "V" shaped protrusion, and the top of the lower protective plate is movably fitted with the movable plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower protective plate, movable plate, and upper protective plate are provided with fixing nails on their outer sides for connection and installation with the upper and lower knee pads.

[0011] Advantages: This utility model provides a highly comfortable knee brace. The protective structure on the outer side of the lower knee brace and the upper and lower protective plates on the inner side of the protective structure provide good protection and prevent injury from collisions. The separate movable plate allows the wearer to avoid the knee hitting the pad during bending, greatly improving the wearer's comfort and effectively preventing damage to the meniscus from prolonged wear.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a highly comfortable knee brace through improvements, including a lower knee brace 1, a connecting strap 2, a fixing strap 3, a protective structure 4, and an upper knee brace 5. The left and right ends of the lower knee brace 1 are fixed to the fixing strap 3 and the connecting strap 2 respectively. The outer surface of the connecting strap 2 is provided with a rough surface, and the inner side of the fixing strap 3 is provided with a hook surface. The upper end of the inner side of the lower knee brace 1 is movably fitted with the upper knee brace 5. The top of the lower knee brace 1 is provided with a protective structure 4, and the rear end of the protective structure 4 is fixed to the upper knee brace 5. The hook surface and the rough surface are designed to facilitate the limiting and fixing effect.

[0019] Please see Figure 3 This utility model provides a highly comfortable knee brace through improvements. The protective structure 4 includes a lower protective plate 41, a movable plate 42, and an upper protective plate 43. The top of the lower protective plate 41 is movably fitted with the movable plate 42, and the top of the lower protective plate 41 has a "V"-shaped concave surface. The lower end of the movable plate 42 is provided with a "V"-shaped protrusion, and the top of the lower protective plate 41 is movably fitted with the movable plate 42. The upper protective plate 43 covers the upper rear side of the movable plate 42. The bottom of the lower protective plate 41 is fixed to the lower knee brace 1. Fixing nails are provided on the outer sides of the lower protective plate 41, the movable plate 42, and the upper protective plate 43 to connect and install with the upper and lower knee braces. The lower end of the movable plate 42 is connected to the lower knee brace 1 and the upper knee brace 5. The bottom of the upper protective plate 43 is fixed to the upper knee brace 5 as one piece. The design of the movable plate 42 greatly improves the comfort of the wearer.

[0020] The work process is as follows:

[0021] 1. When wearing knee braces, the wearer can place the lower knee brace 1 against the lower end of the knee and the upper knee brace 5 against the upper end of the knee. Then, by pulling the fixing straps 3 and connecting straps 2 on both sides of the lower knee brace 1, the hook side and the fleece side can be brought into contact, thereby achieving the effect of limiting and fixing. After adjusting the position of the lower knee brace 1, the connecting straps 2 and fixing straps 3 of the upper knee brace 5 can be pulled in the same way to connect and fix it, thus completing the wearing process.

[0022] Second, the lower protective plate 41 and upper protective plate 43 set in the lower knee pad 1 and upper knee pad 5 can provide good protection. Furthermore, the movable plate 42 can prevent discomfort and wear to the wearer's knees during bending because of its separate structure.

[0023] The above describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregularly shaped parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods for each part all adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding, which are mature technologies in the prior art.
