Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety protection equipment technology, specifically a fall protection device for the elderly. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, falls are the most common injury among the elderly, accounting for more than half of all elderly patients seeking medical attention for injuries caused by falls. Because falls can lead to serious consequences such as psychological trauma, fractures, and soft tissue injuries, affecting the physical and mental health of the elderly and increasing the burden on families and society, they have become a highly important issue in geriatric clinical medicine. Therefore, a protective device is needed to provide timely protection for the elderly in the event of a fall.

[0003] Current head protection devices for the elderly primarily employ a plastic-like protective shell inside a hat. However, this method has significant shortcomings. When an elderly person falls, relying solely on this protective shell to cushion the impact is insufficient. The cushioning method is limited, and the material and structure of the shell offer limited buffering capacity, making it inadequate to withstand impacts from varying angles and intensities. In complex and unpredictable fall scenarios, it cannot effectively absorb and disperse impact force, allowing a significant portion of the impact to still be transmitted to the head, thus exposing the elderly to a higher risk of head injury. This method fails to comprehensively and reliably protect the head of the elderly, exhibiting serious deficiencies in terms of adequacy and reliability. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a fall protection device for the elderly, which can significantly reduce the impact force transmitted to the head, significantly improve the reliability and effectiveness of head protection for the elderly, greatly reduce the probability of head injury caused by falls, and provide more comprehensive and excellent protection for the head safety of the elderly.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fall protection device for the elderly, comprising a protective cover for head protection, wherein a plurality of through slots are provided on the wall of the protective cover, and an outwardly arched support is fixed inside each through slot, and a buffer is provided on the inner wall of each support. The support provides initial buffering of external force and disperses the impact of external force at different angles, and the buffer provides further buffering of external force to protect the head.

[0008] Furthermore, the protective cover is placed inside the hat.

[0009] Furthermore, the hat is equipped with straps.

[0010] Furthermore, the two ends of the support member and the protective cover are integrally formed.

[0011] Furthermore, gaps are left between the top and bottom of the support member and the protective cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the support is made of an elastic material, which can undergo elastic deformation when subjected to external force and return to its original shape after the external force disappears, so as to effectively absorb and disperse energy.

[0013] Furthermore, the buffer is made of a soft material, preferably rubber.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a fall protection device for the elderly, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This fall protection device for the elderly utilizes a design with through-slots in the protective housing and outwardly arched support members. When an elderly person falls, the arched support members are the first to contact the external force and, due to their arched shape, disperse the force at different angles, significantly reducing the risk of concentrated force acting on a single point on the head and effectively expanding the force-bearing area and dispersion range. The cushioning elements on the inner wall of the support members further play a role; their soft material cushions the external force again, forming a dual cushioning mechanism in conjunction with the support members. Furthermore, the protective housing itself can deform to participate in cushioning, creating a multi-segment cushioning system. This multi-segment cushioning design comprehensively and efficiently absorbs and disperses external forces. Compared to existing technologies that rely solely on a single protective shell for cushioning, it significantly reduces the impact force transmitted to the head, significantly improving the reliability and effectiveness of head protection for the elderly, greatly reducing the probability of head injuries from falls, and providing more comprehensive and superior protection for the head safety of the elderly.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model discloses a fall protection device for the elderly, comprising a protective cover 1 for head protection. For aesthetic purposes, the protective cover 1 is usually placed inside a hat 5. Several through slots 2 are formed on the wall of the protective cover 1. The through slots 2 can be located in any direction (not shown in the figure), not limited to the left and right sides shown. Each through slot 2 has an outwardly arched support 3 fixed inside. The two ends of the support 3 are integrally formed with the protective cover 1. The support 3 is not limited to being integrally formed with the protective cover 1 at both ends; it can also be located in other positions. Both the support 3 and the protective cover 1 are made of materials with... Made of an elastic material with a certain strength to resist external forces, the support member 3 and the protective cover 1 can undergo elastic deformation when subjected to external forces, and can return to their original shape after the external forces disappear, so as to effectively absorb and disperse energy. The arched support member 3 can first contact the external force and disperse the external force to different angles by virtue of its arched shape. Then the support member 3 deforms inward, driving the buffer member 4 set on the inner wall of the support member 3 to move inward. The buffer member 4 contacts the user's head, and the soft material of the buffer member 4 can buffer the external force again, greatly reducing the external force transmitted to the head, so as to protect the head. The buffer member 4 is made of a soft material, preferably with a certain degree of elasticity. The buffer member 4 is preferably made of rubber or other materials with good cushioning performance.

[0027] To prevent the hat 5 from falling off, a strap 6 is provided on the hat 5.

[0028] In order to make the protective cover 1 breathable, gaps are left between the top and bottom of the support member 3 and the protective cover 1, and the support member 3 has a larger deformation space, which significantly improves the cushioning effect of the support member 3.

[0029] In summary, when using this fall protection device for the elderly, hold both sides of the protective cover 1 with both hands and slowly put it on the head so that the protective cover 1 fits tightly against the head and is adjusted to a comfortable and stable position.

[0030] To further improve the stability of the protective cover 1 and ensure that it will not easily shift or shake during daily activities, the straps 6 on the hat 5 can also be tightened.

[0031] When a user accidentally falls, the outward-arching support 3 will first contact the ground or other impact object. Due to its arched shape, it can quickly disperse the external force at different angles, changing the direction and intensity distribution of the force. Next, the buffer 4 on the inner wall of the support 3 will move inward under the action of the external force and come into contact with the user's head. Through its soft material properties and deformation ability, it further absorbs and buffers the external force, reducing the peak impact force. At the same time, the protective cover 1 itself will also deform to a certain extent due to the external force. This deformation can dissipate some of the external force energy, forming a third buffer. Through the three-stage synergistic buffering effect of the support 3, buffer 4, and protective cover 1, the impact force ultimately transmitted to the head is reduced to the greatest extent, thereby effectively protecting the elderly from serious head injuries.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present 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 present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
