Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knee protection tools, and more specifically to a force sensing and testing device for knee protection. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, such as shipbuilding, construction, and welding, kneeling is often unavoidable. This prolonged kneeling position, with the knees in constant contact with the ground, metal, or other hard objects, easily leads to knee pain, strain, abrasions, and injuries. Therefore, knee braces are necessary for knee protection. Currently available knee braces use a variety of materials for their protective surfaces, but lack a suitable force-sensing testing method. This results in the knee braces failing to provide adequate protection against impacts, reducing their effectiveness and lifespan, and posing safety hazards to the wearer. Therefore, we propose a force-sensing testing device for knee braces. This device uses an energy-saving force sensor to test the built-in protective surface, revealing its protective effect and improving the overall safety of the knee brace.

[0003] To broaden the applicability of construction worker's knee protectors, making them fit the knee better and improving safety and user experience, Chinese Patent (Authorization Announcement No.: CN217065466U) discloses a construction worker's knee protector suitable for different groups of people. This utility model includes a protective cap, an elastic base layer, and fixing straps. The protective cap includes a fixed cap and a detachable cap. The fixed cap is fixed to the elastic base layer, and the detachable cap is detachably connected to the fixed cap. The fixing straps are located on both sides of the elastic base layer. This utility model allows for adjustment of the cap size by using the detachable cap, increasing the protective area. When the user is larger or the construction environment has special protection requirements, the detachable cap can be installed to improve safety. When the user is smaller, only the fixed cap needs to be used, making it suitable for different groups of people and different environments. The detachable cap and the fixed cap are movably connected, allowing the angle of the detachable cap to be adjusted according to usage needs, further improving safety.

[0004] The solution still has some shortcomings in its application. Since the main function of the protective armor when wearing a knee brace is to resist external impact and provide effective protection for the knee, the knee brace needs to be tested for force sensing when worn to improve safety. Otherwise, the protective armor may not be of good quality and may not provide good protection when impacted, leading to injury to the wearer. Therefore, the structure of the force sensing testing device needs to be improved to achieve fast and accurate testing results and improve the protective effect of the knee brace.
