Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of exercise equipment technology, and in particular relates to a respiratory muscle training vest. Background Technology

[0002] Respiratory muscles, including the diaphragm, intercostal muscles, pectoralis major, and pectoralis minor, are responsible for lung ventilation. Respiratory muscle fatigue is often overlooked by athletes. During prolonged high-intensity exercise, as respiratory muscle workload and breathing difficulties increase, metabolic reflexes increase blood flow to the respiratory muscles while reducing blood flow to activated peripheral muscles, leading to a decline in respiratory muscle performance. This results in respiratory muscle fatigue, insufficient oxygen supply to the working muscles, and a decrease in overall performance, limiting their exercise capacity. Respiratory muscle training has become an effective method for athletes to improve lung function during their daily training.

[0003] Currently, there are two main types of devices for training respiratory muscles. One type uses a face mask to apply breathing resistance to the mouth and nose; the other type applies pressure to the chest and abdomen to increase respiratory resistance in the abdominal respiratory muscles. Taking the second type as an example, the vest-like structure disclosed in document CN215653697U, "A Respiratory Function Rehabilitation Training System," also has an abdominal air bladder in the front panel. However, the air bladder completely covers the front of the moving body, and it expands forward when inflated, thus limiting the backward pressure. The vest-like structure disclosed in document CN219332222U, "A Chest and Abdominal Belt," primarily applies pressure to the abdominal muscles by tightening the vest at the abdominal area. However, its structure is complex, inconvenient to wear, and unsuitable for people of different body types. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a respiratory muscle training vest with a simple structure, easy to wear, and capable of applying local pressure to the two sides of the chest cavity and the two sides of the abdomen from four points.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A respiratory muscle training vest includes a vest body, an inflatable component, and four air bladders. The four air bladders are arranged in a matrix on the front side of the vest body and are all connected to the inflatable component through pipes. The two upper air bladders correspond to the positions of the two sides of the chest cavity, and the two lower air bladders correspond to the positions of the two sides of the abdominal cavity. The inflatable component is used to inflate the air bladders so that the four air bladders apply pressure to the chest cavity and the abdominal cavity respectively.

[0006] The beneficial effect of the above technical solution is that, after the vest is worn, it can be inflated into the four air bladders simultaneously through the inflatable component. At this time, the air bladders expand to apply pressure to the chest and abdominal cavities, thereby increasing the difficulty of breathing for the wearer and thus exercising the respiratory muscles.

[0007] The vest body described in the above technical solution includes an adjustable-circumference tube and two adjustable-length shoulder straps. The two shoulder straps are located at the upper end of the tube, and the two ends of the shoulder straps are respectively connected to the corresponding side of the upper end of the tube. The four airbag components are respectively located at the front inner side of the tube.

[0008] The beneficial effect of the above technical solution is that it enables the vest to meet the wearing needs of users with different body types.

[0009] The above technical solution describes a cylindrical body comprising a garment piece and multiple first connectors. The two sides of the garment piece are bent forward to be close to each other and connected to form a cylindrical shape by multiple vertically spaced first connectors. The two ends of the shoulder strap are respectively connected to the upper end of the garment piece.

[0010] The advantages of the above technical solution are that it has a simple structure and makes the vest more convenient to wear.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the first connector is a Velcro strap or a tie.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are that it makes the vest body easy to wear, and at the same time, the circumference of the tube can be flexibly adjusted through the first connector.

[0013] The airbag component in the above technical solution includes a plate and an airbag. The plate is installed at a corresponding position on the inner side of the vest body, and the airbag is installed on the rear side of the plate.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the above technical solution is that the plate can prevent the airbag from expanding forward. At this time, when the airbag expands, it mainly expands backward to exert pressure on the abdominal cavity and thoracic cavity.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the plate is detachably installed at the corresponding position of the vest body via the second connector.

[0016] The beneficial effect of the above technical solution is that it allows the airbag component to be removed from the vest body so that the vest body can be cleaned.

[0017] In the above technical solution, a second connector is provided at each of the four corners on the front side of the plate.

[0018] The beneficial effect of the above technical solution is that it makes the airbag component more stable when installed on the vest body and less likely to come loose.

[0019] In the above technical solution, the second connector is a snap fastener or Velcro.

[0020] The advantages of the above technical solution are that its structure is simple and makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the board and the vest body.

[0021] The inflatable component described in the above technical solution is a hand-held inflatable ball.

[0022] The advantages of the above technical solution are: its structure is simple and the inflation volume inside the airbag can be flexibly controlled by the user.

[0023] The pipeline described in the above technical solution includes a main branch pipe and four branch pipes. The four branch pipes correspond one-to-one with the four airbag components. One end of each main branch pipe is connected to the corresponding airbag component. The other ends of the multiple main branch pipes are wrapped around to connect and communicate with one end of the main branch pipe. The other end of the main branch pipe extends out to the body of the vest and is connected and communicated with the inflatable component.

[0024] The advantages of the above technical solution are: its structure is simple, which allows the air pressure in the four airbag components to be kept relatively balanced, and one inflation component can inflate and deflate the four airbag components at the same time.

[0033] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a respiratory muscle training vest, including a vest body 1, an inflatable component 2, and four air bladders 3. The four air bladders 3 are arranged in a matrix on the front side of the vest body 1 and are all connected to the inflatable component 2 through pipes 4. The two upper air bladders 3 correspond to the positions of the two sides of the chest cavity, and the two lower air bladders 3 correspond to the positions of the two sides of the abdominal cavity. The inflatable component 2 is used to inflate the air bladders 3 so that the four air bladders 3 apply pressure to the chest cavity and abdominal cavity respectively. In this way, when the vest body is worn, the inflatable component can simultaneously inflate the four air bladders. At this time, the air bladders expand to apply pressure to the chest cavity and abdominal cavity, thereby increasing the difficulty of breathing for the wearer and exercising the respiratory muscles.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the vest body 1 in the above technical solution includes an adjustable-circumference cylindrical body 11 and two adjustable-length shoulder straps 12. The two shoulder straps 12 are located at the upper end of the cylindrical body 11, and the two ends of the shoulder straps 12 are respectively connected to the corresponding sides of the upper end of the cylindrical body 11. The four airbag components 3 are respectively located at the front inner side of the cylindrical body 11, so that the vest body can meet the wearing needs of users with different body types. In this embodiment, the shoulder straps are provided with elasticators 121 (which can be located at the front end of the shoulder straps). The elasticators are used to adjust the length of the corresponding shoulder straps. The elasticators are similar to existing shoe sole elasticators (such as the structure disclosed in document CN205432385U "An Automatic Shoelace Elasticizer"), which belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] In this embodiment, the girth is equivalent to the circumference of the cylinder in the circumferential direction.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the cylindrical body 11 in the above technical solution includes a garment piece 111 and a plurality of first connecting members 112. The two sides of the garment piece 111 are bent forward to be close to each other and connected by a plurality of vertically spaced first connecting members 112 to form a cylindrical shape. The two ends of the shoulder strap 12 are respectively connected to the upper end of the garment piece 111. Its structure is simple and makes it more convenient to wear the vest. In this embodiment, the garment piece 111 is square.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the above technical solution, the first connector 112 is a Velcro or tie, which makes the vest body easy to wear and allows for flexible adjustment of the circumference of the vest body. Specifically, the first connector 112 includes a first male connector and a first female connector. The first male connector and the first female connector are respectively disposed on both sides of the garment piece and aligned with each other. At this time, each first male connector is connected to the corresponding first female connector (when the first connector is a Velcro, the first male connector is a male Velcro patch and the first female connector is a female Velcro patch. The circumference of the vest body can be adjusted by adjusting the overlap between the first male connector and the first female connector; when the first connector is a tie, it has two ties, one of which is the first male connector and the other is the first female connector. The circumference of the vest body can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the tie joint between the first male connector and the first female connector).

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the airbag component 3 in the above technical solution includes a plate 31 and an airbag 32. The plate 31 is installed at a corresponding position on the inner side of the vest body 1, and the airbag 32 is installed on the rear side of the plate 31. This allows the plate to prevent the airbag from expanding forward. When the airbag expands, it mainly expands backward to apply pressure to the abdominal and thoracic cavities. In this embodiment, the pressure area of ​​the airbag 32 on the thoracic and abdominal cavities is approximately the size of an adult's palm.

[0040] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the above technical solution, the plate 31 is detachably installed at the corresponding position of the vest body 1 via the second connector 5, so that the airbag can be removed from the vest body for cleaning.

[0041] In the above technical solution, a second connector 5 is provided at each of the four corners on the front side of the plate 31, which makes the airbag component more stable on the vest body and less likely to loosen.

[0042] In the above technical solution, the second connector 5 is a snap fastener or Velcro, which has a simple structure and makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the panel and the vest body (the second connector includes a second male connector 51 and a second female connector 52. The second male connector is located at the corresponding position of the panel 31, and the second female connector is located at the corresponding position of the garment piece. When the second connector is a snap fastener, the second male connector is a snap fastener and the second female connector is a snap fastener; when the second connector is Velcro, the second male connector is a Velcro fastener and the second female connector is a Velcro fastener).

[0043] The inflatable component 2 described in the above technical solution is a hand-held inflatable ball (similar to the hand-held inflatable ball on a blood pressure monitor, which is an existing product and will not be described in detail here). It has a simple structure and allows for flexible human control of the inflation volume inside the airbag.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the pipe 4 in the above technical solution includes a main branch pipe 41 and four branch pipes 42. The four branch pipes 42 correspond one-to-one with the four airbag components 3. One end of each main branch pipe 41 is connected to the corresponding airbag component 3. The other ends of the multiple main branch pipes 41 are wrapped around to connect and communicate with one end of the main branch pipe 41. The other end of the main branch pipe 41 extends out to the outside of the vest body 1 and is connected and communicated with the inflation component 2. Its structure is simple, so that the air pressure in the four airbag components can be kept relatively balanced, and one inflation component can inflate and deflate the four airbag components at the same time (a perforation 1111 is provided on one side of the cylinder 11 for the main branch pipe 41 to pass through it). Each branch pipe 42 passes around the middle of the clothing piece. After wearing, the branch pipe passes between the user's back and the clothing piece. In this embodiment, the main branch pipe and the branch pipes are both soft air tubes.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
