[0028] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates exemplary embodiments of this application, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding. These should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this application. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0029] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a lumbar support device, which includes a main body 1 and a waist belt 4, wherein the waist belt 4 is disposed at both ends of the main body 1.

[0030] The waist belt 4 can be a continuous, single belt 4, with its two ends respectively located at both ends of the main body 1. The waist belt 4 and the main body 1 form a closed loop structure. In use, the waist support component is worn around the user's waist. The waist belt 4 can also include at least two waist belt 4 components, with the two waist belt 4 components respectively located at both ends of the main body 1. In use, the two waist belt 4 components are connected to secure the waist belt 4 to the user's waist.

[0031] The main body 1 includes a back layer, a heat insulation layer and a buffer layer arranged sequentially. The buffer layer has multiple sets of buffer units 3 and multiple parallel and spaced support bars 2. Adjacent sets of buffer units 3 are separated by the support bars 2.

[0032] Both the back layer and the insulation layer are made of flexible materials. The insulation layer is used to retain warmth and reduce heat loss. The cushioning layer provides elastic cushioning in case the user falls or other accidents.

[0033] The buffer unit 3 has an arc-shaped surface protruding from the buffer layer; several reinforcing ribs are provided on the surface of the buffer unit 3 near the heat insulation layer (in this document, the surface of the buffer unit 3 near the heat insulation layer is the concave side of the arc-shaped surface); the reinforcing ribs not only enhance the strength of the buffer unit 3, but also enhance its buffering effect. The more reinforcing ribs there are, the stronger the buffer unit 3 and the greater its buffering capacity. The number of reinforcing ribs can be determined according to actual needs. For example, each buffer unit 3 can have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or more reinforcing ribs. The reinforcing ribs can be straight, polygonal, arc-shaped, or ring-shaped.

[0034] Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs are arranged around the concave side of the arc-shaped surface; or the reinforcing ribs are arranged in a radiating pattern, starting from the center of the concave side of the arc-shaped surface.

[0035] In some embodiments, the reinforcing rib is a single ring, which is arranged around the concave side of the arc-shaped surface.

[0036] In some embodiments, there are two reinforcing ribs, both of which are annular, and the central axes of the two annular reinforcing ribs are arranged on the concave side of the arc-shaped surface in such a way that they coincide with the central axis of the arc-shaped surface.

[0037] In some embodiments, the number of reinforcing ribs is four, and the four reinforcing ribs are arranged in a radial pattern, starting from the center of the concave side of the arc-shaped surface.

[0038] Furthermore, the arc-shaped surface is located at the center of the buffer unit 3 to enhance resistance to external damage and improve the buffering effect.

[0039] A storage bag 8 is provided on the side surface of the back layer away from the heat insulation layer, and the main body 1 can be folded and stored in the storage bag 8.

[0040] The material of the buffer layer / buffer unit 3 can be a material with buffering function, such as foam polymer material, pearl cotton, silicone rubber material, inflatable airbag, etc., as long as it can achieve the function in this application.

[0041] When the lumbar support device is in use, since both the back layer and the heat insulation layer are made of flexible materials, the user feels comfortable after the device fits against the user's waist. The support strip 2 on the buffer layer is used to support the main body 1 to prevent it from curling up. Moreover, when the support strip 2 fits against the user's lumbar spine, it can also support and assist in fixing the user's lumbar spine.

[0042] When not in use and needing to be stored, the lumbar support device can be folded along the support bar 2 and stored in the main cavity of the storage bag 8, making it convenient for the user to carry with them. For example, athletes / soldiers can wear it on their waist during daily exercise and store it in the storage bag 8 after exercise.

[0043] In this application, each group of buffer units 3 includes at least two buffer units 3, and multiple groups of buffer units 3 are arranged in parallel.

[0044] The number of buffer units 3 in each group of buffer units 3 can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc., and the number of buffer units 3 in each group of buffer units 3 can be determined according to actual needs.

[0045] The more buffer units 3 there are, the stronger the cushioning capacity of the lumbar support device.

[0046] The orthographic projection of the buffer unit 3 onto the buffer layer can be a circle or an n-sided polygon, where n is greater than or equal to 3. For example... Figure 1 As shown, each group of buffer units 3 includes three columns and four rows of buffer units 3, and the orthographic projection of the buffer unit 3 on the buffer layer is a rhombus.

[0047] The buffer unit 3 is provided with a buffer pad, which is located on the concave side of the arc-shaped surface. The reinforcing rib is connected to the buffer pad so that the buffer pad and the buffer unit 3 are integrated as one unit.

[0048] The buffer pad not only strengthens the buffer unit 3 but also provides cushioning, dispersing the impact force received by the buffer unit 3. The buffer pad can be a rigid liner, and its material can be rigid nylon, ABS, PVC, or metal such as aluminum alloy, as long as it achieves the function described in this application. The outline of the buffer pad is one or more of polygonal, circular, elliptical, and strip-shaped, preferably circular.

[0049] Furthermore, the buffer unit 3 and the buffer pad form a double-layer hollow structure, and the reinforcing rib is at least partially located within the double-layer hollow structure; the buffer pad is connected to the buffer layer.

[0050] In this application, the storage bag 8 is provided with a main storage cavity and at least one secondary storage cavity. The main storage cavity has a larger capacity than the secondary storage cavity. The main storage cavity is used to store the main body 1 and the waist belt 4, and the secondary storage cavity is used to store the user's personal belongings.

[0051] Furthermore, the storage bag 8 is suspended on the back layer. For example, the storage bag 8 can be suspended on the back layer by a hanging rope. When the lumbar support device is in use, the back layer is in contact with the user's waist. The main storage cavity and the secondary storage cavity inside the storage bag 8 can both hold the user's personal belongings.

[0052] Furthermore, within the storage bag 8, the main storage cavity is located in the middle of the storage bag 8, and the secondary storage cavities are located on both sides of the main storage cavity.

[0053] In this application, the device further includes a controller, a pressure sensor, a heating unit, a timing unit, a power supply unit, and a reminder unit. The controller is connected to the pressure sensor, heating unit, reminder unit, and timing unit respectively. The power supply module is used to supply power to the controller, pressure sensor, heating unit, reminder unit, and timing unit. The pressure sensor, heating unit, timing unit, and power supply unit are all disposed between the back layer and the heat insulation layer; the controller and reminder unit are disposed in the area of ​​the waist belt 4 near the main body 1. The power supply module is a rechargeable battery.

[0054] The pressure sensor detects the pressure between the back layer and the user's waist and transmits the pressure data to the controller. The controller has a threshold range; when the pressure data is outside this range, it indicates that the user's movements are not correct or there is a risk of injury. The controller then sends a reminder signal to the reminder unit, which provides an alert. The controller can be a microcontroller; the reminder unit alerts the user by playing a sound or issuing an alarm.

[0055] The heating unit is used to heat and apply heat to the user's lower back to relieve discomfort. The heating unit not only has a heating function but also a temperature control function to keep the temperature within a certain range. The timing unit is used to time the heating time of the heating unit. When the heating time reaches the time set by the controller, the timing unit sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the heating unit to stop heating.

[0056] Furthermore, the waist belt 4 is provided with one or more elastic sections 5 to accommodate users with different waist sizes. The elastic direction of the elastic section 5 is consistent with the length direction of the waist belt 4.

[0057] Furthermore, the waistbands 4 at both ends of the main body 1 are connected by Velcro or buckles. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 as well as Figure 2As shown, a Velcro assembly 6 is provided at the end of the waist belt 4 at one end of the main body 1, and a Velcro assembly 7 is provided at the end of the waist belt 4 at the other end of the main body 1. In use, the Velcro assembly 6 is bonded to the Velcro assembly 7. The Velcro assembly 6 has a large length along the extension direction of the waist belt 4 to accommodate people with different waist sizes.

[0058] Although the embodiments of this application have been described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments and application fields described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and instructive, not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms based on the guidance of this specification and without departing from the scope of protection of the claims of this application, and these are all within the scope of protection of this application.
