TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rehabilitation, in particular to a tendon protector. BACKGROUND

[0002] In daily exercise or competitive sports, ankle injury is one of the common sports injuries. In particular, ankle tendonitis, as inflammation caused by overuse or chronic strain of the Achilles tendon, is common among athletes, running enthusiasts or long-standing crowds.

[0003] In related technologies, there are two ways to protect the ankle joint. One is to bandage the ankle joint, usually using an 8-shaped wrapping to fix it, which is stable and can support the ankle joint. At the same time, it can also provide pressure protection for the Achilles tendon. However, it can only be used once, and the wrapping process is relatively complicated and professional, which is not suitable for the general public.

[0004] The other is to wear a sports ankle protector. Currently, there are two types of sports ankle protectors. One is a straight tube sock knitted ankle protector, which is elastic and comfortable to wear, and fully wraps the ankle joint and Achilles tendon. However, it has poor support effect on the ankle joint. The second is a sheet-shaped open ankle protector, which is light and comfortable to wear, and has a certain effect on the stability and protection of the ankle joint. However, this type of ankle protector cannot protect the position of the Achilles tendon. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0027] The embodiment provides a tendon protector, which solves the problems of the tendon protector in the prior art, i.e., the tendon protector is inconvenient for the public to use and has poor protection ability for the tendon.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The embodiment provides a tendon protector, which solves the problems of the tendon protector in the prior art, i.e., the tendon protector is inconvenient for the public to use and has poor protection ability for the tendon.

[0029] Specifically, in use of the embodiment, the protector assembly 200 is fixed on the foot of the user through the fixing assembly 100, so that the Achilles tendon part of the user is located between the first sliding rail 211 and the second sliding rail 212, then the support 220 is slid, so that the protection part 222 of the support 220 is attached to the Achilles tendon part of the user.

[0030] The tendon protector of the embodiment is directly worn on the foot of the user in use, and the support 220 is moved to a suitable position, so that the protection part 222 protects the Achilles tendon part. Compared with the bandage protection method in the prior art, the embodiment is simple and convenient to operate, has no professional requirement for the user, and after use, the fixing assembly 100 is directly taken off from the foot of the user, and after cleaning, it can be left for subsequent repeated use. Compared with the wearing of the sports protection ankle in the prior art, the protection part 222 of the support 220 of the embodiment has better protection effect on the Achilles tendon part.

[0031] In one embodiment, for example, Figure 2As shown, the support 220 includes a seat body 221, two ends of the seat body 221 are respectively slidingly installed on the first sliding rail 211 and the second sliding rail 212. The protection part 222 is detachably installed on the seat body 221. Through the design of the sliding rail, the user can easily adjust the position of the support 220 according to the position of the Achilles tendon and the personal comfort requirement, so as to achieve the best fitting effect and comfort. Alternatively, for users of different ages and different body shapes, the position of the Achilles tendon may be different, and the slidingly arranged support 220 can ensure that the embodiment can be used by any user, thereby improving the universality of the embodiment.

[0032] The protection part 222 adopts a detachable design, allowing different types of protection parts 222 to be replaced according to different use scenarios or personal preferences, such as protection parts 222 of different materials, hardness, shapes, etc., to achieve highly personalized adaptation. For example, the material of the protection part 222 can be set to silicone, memory foam, hard plastic, or carbon fiber, etc., according to the physical properties of different materials to meet the specific requirements of different users. In terms of shape, the protection part 222 can be widened to ensure good protection range, and on this basis, the protection part 222 can be designed according to the ergonomic characteristics of the Achilles tendon area to ensure close fitting of the Achilles tendon without hindering joint movement.

[0033] As can be understood, when the protection part 222 or the seat body 221 needs to be cleaned, it can be easily detached for cleaning, maintaining hygiene, and also helping to prolong the service life of the embodiment.

[0034] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the seat body 221 is provided with an extension part 223 extending away from the seat body 221 near the first sliding rail 211 or the second sliding rail 212; and the extension part 223 extends outward in a circular arc shape. The circular arc design of the extension part 223 increases the contact area between the seat body 221 and the surrounding area of the user's foot, thereby providing more extensive support points, helping to disperse pressure and reduce local compression, so that the embodiment can provide better support effect.

[0035] By extending the coverage of the seat body 221, the extension part 223 can better fix the position of the support 220, prevent unnecessary movement during use, and ensure that the protection part 222 always fits the Achilles tendon area, providing continuous and stable support. And the circular arc shape gives the extension part 223 a certain flexibility, which can better adapt to the unique shape of different users' feet, ensuring that each user can have a personalized fitting experience.

[0036] In one embodiment, the first sliding rail 211 and the second sliding rail 212 are both made of plastic. Plastic is generally lighter than metal, and using plastic as the material of the sliding rails can significantly reduce the weight of the entire protective gear, making it more comfortable to wear, especially for long-term wear or during exercise. Lighter protective gear exerts less pressure on the feet, reducing the additional burden on the user during daily activities and improving the wearing experience.

[0037] More specifically, the first sliding rail 211 and the second sliding rail 212 can be made of thermoplastic materials such as polyethylene or polypropylene. In this way, the first sliding rail 211 and the second sliding rail 212 can be made of relatively soft materials, so that the shapes of the first sliding rail 211 and the second sliding rail 212 can change with the shape of the fixing assembly 100, ensuring that the fixing assembly 100 can fit the user's skin and improving the use experience of the embodiment. At the same time, it will not affect the sliding cooperation of the support 220 with the first sliding rail 211 and the second sliding rail 212, ensuring that the embodiment can be used normally and improving the stability of the embodiment.

[0038] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The first sliding rail 211 or the second sliding rail 212 is further provided with a connecting piece 230 between the support 220. The connecting piece 230 includes a sliding block 231 and a connecting piece 232, the sliding block 231 is slidingly installed in the first sliding rail 211 or the second sliding rail 212, and the connecting piece 232 is arranged between the sliding block 231 and the support 220, used for connecting the sliding block 231 and the support 220. The sliding block 231 can be adaptively set to a suitable shape and selected to a suitable material according to the material and shape of the first sliding rail 211 and the second sliding rail 212, so that the sliding block 231 and the sliding rail can be reliably matched to ensure smooth sliding in the sliding rail.

[0039] The connecting piece 232 can play a role in buffering and dispersing stress between the sliding block 231 and the support 220, preventing damage to the components due to excessive local stress, and prolonging the service life of the equipment. Moreover, the connecting piece 232 can be selected to be made of elastic materials such as memory foam, knitted goods, etc. In this way, it can not only ensure reliable connection between the sliding block 231 and the seat body 221, but also make the connecting piece 232 have certain deformation ability, so that even at positions where the first sliding rail 211 or the second sliding rail 212 is not parallel, it will not affect the normal sliding of the support 220.

[0040] It can be understood that the slider 231 can also be fixed relative to the first slide rail 211 and the second slide rail 212, so that after the user adjusts the support 220 to the appropriate position, the support 220 can be maintained at the current position. The fixing manner of the slider 231 and the slide rail can be arbitrarily selected according to actual conditions, and for example, the slider 231 and the first slide rail 211 and the second slide rail 212 are in interference fit. In this way, after the user adjusts, the support 220 will be limited in the current position.

[0041] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The fixing assembly 100 includes a foot cover, the foot cover includes an ankle part 110 and a sole part 120, and the first slide rail 211 and the second slide rail 212 are arranged in parallel on the ankle part 110. By arranging the first slide rail 211 and the second slide rail 212 on the ankle part 110, it can be ensured that the support 220 is accurately located at the Achilles tendon area of the user, and targeted support and protection are provided. The parallel arrangement of the slide rails helps to evenly distribute the pressure from the support 220, avoids excessive local stress, and reduces potential damage to the skin and soft tissues. It can also ensure that the support 220 can normally slide between the first slide rail 211 and the second slide rail 212.

[0042] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 A first opening 130 is arranged between the ankle part 110 and the sole part 120, and the heel part of the user can extend out of the first opening 130. By arranging the opening between the ankle part 110 and the sole part 120, direct compression of the heel part can be avoided, and discomfort or pressure points that may occur during long-term wearing can be reduced. The opening design helps to increase air circulation, keep the feet dry, and improve the comfort of using the embodiment.

[0043] The opening design allows the heel part to stretch naturally, better adapts to various foot shapes, especially for users with wide or special-shaped heels, providing a more comfortable fitting experience, further improving the practicality of the embodiment.

[0044] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 A second opening 140 is arranged at the end of the sole part 120 away from the ankle part 110, and the toe part of the user can extend out of the second opening 140. By arranging the second opening 140, direct wrapping and compression of the toe area are avoided, and discomfort or pressure points that may occur during long-term wearing are reduced, which is particularly important for people with sensitive toes or foot problems.

[0045] The second opening 140 can also cooperate with the first opening 130 to improve air circulation of the foot, help sweat and keep the foot dry, and reduce the risk of fungal infections such as athlete's foot and other common foot diseases.

[0046] It is worth mentioning that the first opening 130 can also cooperate with the second opening 140 to reduce the wrapping degree of the heel area and the toe area of the embodiment, reduce the influence of the embodiment on the local blood circulation of the whole foot, and help maintain normal blood flow of the foot. It is especially suitable for long-time wearers.

[0047] In an embodiment, the exemplary fixed assembly 100 includes a fixed bandage, which includes a first band and a second band. The first band is wrapped around the ankle of the user, and the second band is connected to the first band at one end. The end of the second band away from the first band is wrapped around the heel of the user and then connected to the first band after passing through the sole, so that the first band and the second band form an 8-shaped bandage. The 8-shaped bandage design can provide stable support for the ankle and the heel from multiple angles, which helps to limit unnecessary movement, especially during recovery or high-intensity exercise. The 8-shaped structure can evenly distribute the applied pressure between the ankle, heel, and sole, avoiding discomfort or injury caused by excessive local force, and improving the comfort of wearing.

[0048] According to individual conditions, different support strength requirements can be met by adjusting the tightness of the bandage, which is suitable for mild support during the recovery period and can provide stronger protection for athletes.

[0049] In an embodiment, the first sliding rail 211 is provided on the first band, and the second sliding rail 212 is provided on the second band. When the first band is wrapped around the ankle, it is inclined to the direction of the sole, so that the first band and the second band are at least partially parallel, and the support member 220 slides between the first sliding rail 211 and the second sliding rail 212. By making the first band and the second band at least partially parallel, it can ensure that the support member 220 can slide normally, and also make the support member 220 maintain stable support during the entire sliding process, avoiding dispersion or failure of support force caused by non-parallel sliding rails.

[0050] The parallel sliding rails can also provide more accurate guidance for the support member 220, ensuring that the support member 220 can move smoothly along the predetermined path when adjusting, avoiding deviation from the track or jamming.

[0051] The first band can be adjusted according to the specific needs of the user to adapt to different foot shapes and use scenarios, ensuring the best fit and comfort.

[0052] It should be noted that the features of the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0053] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. The present application can have various modifications and changes for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
