Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of diving suits, specifically relating to a friction-resistant wet diving suit. Background Technology

[0002] A wetsuit is essential clothing for diving activities. It prevents divers from losing body heat too quickly, thus preventing hypothermia. Secondly, it protects the body from cuts from reefs and stings from jellyfish and anemones. Wetsuits are generally made of neoprene rubber composite nylon fabric. This fabric is a synthetic rubber foam that is smooth, soft, and elastic, offering shock absorption, insulation, elasticity, and is waterproof and airtight. Wetsuits made from this fabric are typically 2mm-8mm thick, with increased thickness required for deeper dives. During a dive, seawater enters through the collar, zipper, and cuffs. A film of water forms between the body and the suit. This film, heated by the body, becomes an insulating layer, providing warmth.

[0003] However, most wetsuits are made of a single type of nylon fabric, Lycra fabric, or foamed rubber, which has relatively poor abrasion resistance. When wearing a wetsuit underwater, it is easy to accidentally hit hard objects, causing wear and tear or even damage to the wetsuit, thus shortening its lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a friction-resistant wet diving suit to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a friction-resistant wet diving suit, comprising a torso and sleeves disposed on both sides of the torso.

[0006] The torso has two trouser legs below it, a zipper on the back of the torso has a lock on it, and a handle on the lock.

[0007] The sleeves are fitted with underarm abrasion protectors at the connection point with the torso, and the pant legs are fitted with crotch abrasion protectors. The sleeves have joint reinforcement plates on the outer side of the elbows, and the pant legs also have joint reinforcement plates on the outer side of the knees. The inside of the wetsuit is fitted with a silver ion fiber layer, and the outer layer of the silver ion fiber layer is fitted with two layers of neoprene rubber. Heat insulation fibers are placed between the neoprene rubber layers, and the outer side of the neoprene rubber layers is fitted with an abrasion-resistant outer layer.

[0008] Preferably, the underarm and crotch abrasion protectors are made of a blend of Kevlar and nylon fibers, which can improve the abrasion resistance at the junction of the sleeves and trouser legs with the torso.

[0009] Preferably, the joint reinforcement patches are all made of Kevlar, which can improve the strength and wear resistance of the knee and elbow areas.

[0010] Preferably, the silver ions in the silver ion fiber layer can inhibit bacterial growth and reduce odors in sweat and seawater. The neoprene rubber is a high-density closed-cell material with independently sealed internal air bubbles, reducing heat conduction while providing better buoyancy and thermal insulation.

[0011] Preferably, the insulating fibers between the neoprene rubbers are made of polyester fleece, which can form a static air insulation layer to improve the thermal insulation of the diving suit. The wear-resistant outer layer is made of a blend of spandex and nylon, which takes into account both elasticity and surface wear resistance.

[0012] Preferably, the lock head is provided with a rotating block, the rotating block is rotatably connected to the lock head, the lock handle is rotatably connected to the rotating block, and the lock handle is provided with a locking slot.

[0013] Preferably, the wetsuit has a fixed base at the top of the back, the fixed base is fixedly connected to the wetsuit, and a locking post is provided on the outside of the fixed base, the locking handle can be engaged with the locking post through the locking slot.

[0014] Preferably, a limiting block is provided on the outer side of the locking post, and the fixed base, locking post and limiting block are integrally formed. The limiting block can limit the lock handle and prevent the lock handle from coming loose from the locking post.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a friction-resistant wet diving suit, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] With its abrasion-resistant outer layer, underarm abrasion protectors, crotch abrasion protectors, and joint reinforcements, this wetsuit features an abrasion-resistant outer layer made of a spandex and nylon blend to ensure overall elasticity and abrasion resistance. The underarm and crotch abrasion protectors are made of a blend of nylon and Kevlar fibers, maintaining flexibility at the joints while enhancing abrasion resistance. The joint reinforcements use Kevlar patches to provide key protection for impact-prone areas such as the knees and elbows, effectively preventing breakage and damage.

[0017] The diving suit features a multi-layered neoprene structure with insulating fibers and silver ion fiber layers. The insulating fibers, made of polyester fleece, form a static air insulation layer, which significantly improves the heat retention effect and ensures that divers maintain their body temperature in deep water. The inner silver ion fiber layer contains silver ions, which can effectively inhibit bacterial growth and reduce odors in sweat and seawater, making it suitable for long-term wear.

[0018] Through the design of the locking post, limiting block, locking slot, rotating block and locking handle, after the zipper is zipped up, the rotating block can fix the locking handle on the locking post, and the limiting block prevents the locking handle from loosening, ensuring that the locking handle and the lock head are in a stable position, and preventing the zipper from loosening during diving and affecting diving activities.

[0026] 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.

[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-6 The illustrated abrasion-resistant wetsuit includes a torso portion 1 and sleeves 2 disposed on both sides of the torso portion 1.

[0028] Two trouser legs 5 are provided below the torso 1, a zipper 7 is provided on the back of the torso 1, a lock 15 is provided on the zipper 7, and a lock handle 13 is provided on the lock 15.

[0029] The sleeve 2 is provided with an underarm anti-abrasion plate 3 at the connection between the sleeve and the torso 1. The crotch anti-abrasion plate 4 is provided between the pant legs 5. The elbow of the sleeve 2 is provided with a joint reinforcement plate 6. The knee of the pant leg 5 is also provided with a joint reinforcement plate 6. The inside of the wetsuit is provided with a silver ion fiber layer 8. The outside of the silver ion fiber layer 8 is provided with two layers of neoprene rubber 9. The neoprene rubber 9 is provided with heat insulation fiber 11. The outside of the neoprene rubber 9 is provided with an abrasion-resistant outer layer 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, a wetsuit is a thermal garment specifically designed for underwater activities. Its primary function is to maintain body temperature in cold water while providing some protection and buoyancy. It is typically made of closed-cell neoprene rubber, a material containing numerous independent, sealed air bubbles that effectively insulate against cold water and reduce heat loss. The wetsuit works by forming an insulating layer of water through a small amount of permeation between the wetsuit and the skin. This water warms rapidly under body temperature, thus reducing heat loss. The thickness of the wetsuit is typically between 3mm and 7mm; greater thickness provides better insulation but reduces flexibility. The design of a wetsuit emphasizes a close fit and a tight seal to adapt to different water temperatures and activity requirements. Furthermore, the wetsuit provides buoyancy and abrasion resistance, offering divers additional protection and convenience.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the underarm abrasion protector 3 and the crotch abrasion protector 4 are made of a blend of Kevlar and nylon fibers. The underarm abrasion protector 3 and the crotch abrasion protector 4 can improve the abrasion resistance at the connection between the sleeves 2 and the pant legs 5 and the torso 1. The joint reinforcement plates 6 are all made of Kevlar patches. The joint reinforcement plates 6 can improve the strength and abrasion resistance of the knee and elbow parts. The silver ions in the silver ion fiber layer 8 can inhibit bacterial growth and reduce odor in sweat and seawater. The neoprene rubber 9 is a high-density closed-cell material with independent and sealed internal air bubbles, which reduces heat conduction and provides better buoyancy and heat insulation. The heat insulation fiber 11 between the neoprene rubber 9 is made of polyester fleece. The heat insulation fiber 11 can form a static air heat insulation layer to improve the thermal insulation of the diving suit. The abrasion-resistant outer layer 10 is made of a blend of spandex and nylon, which takes into account both elasticity and surface abrasion resistance.

[0032] Preferably, the abrasion-resistant outer layer 10, underarm abrasion protector 3, crotch abrasion protector 4, and joint reinforcement plate 6 are designed to provide the wetsuit with a certain degree of elasticity and abrasion resistance. The underarm abrasion protector 3 and the crotch abrasion protector 4 are made of a blend of nylon and Kevlar fibers, which maintains the flexibility of the joints while improving their abrasion resistance. The Kevlar patch used in the joint reinforcement plate 6 can protect the knees and elbows, which are prone to impact damage, and prevent them from breaking or being damaged.

[0033] Preferably, the diving suit employs a structure with multiple layers of neoprene rubber 9, heat-insulating fibers 11, and silver ion fiber layer 8. This structure not only ensures the basic insulation of the diving suit through the neoprene rubber 9, but also, because the heat-insulating fibers 11 are made of polyester fleece, forms a static air insulation layer, further improving the insulation of the diving suit. This allows divers to maintain their body temperature in deep water. The silver ion fiber layer 8 on the inner side of the diving suit contains silver ions, which can inhibit bacterial growth and reduce odors in sweat and seawater, making it suitable for divers to wear for extended periods.

[0034] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a rotating block 14 is provided on the lock head 15, and the rotating block 14 is rotatably connected to the lock head 15. The lock handle 13 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 14. A latch 18 is provided on the lock handle 13. A fixed base 16 is provided on the top of the back of the diving suit, and the fixed base 16 is fixedly connected to the diving suit. A locking post 17 is provided on the outside of the fixed base 16. The lock handle 13 can be engaged with the locking post 17 through the latch 18. A limiting block 12 is provided on the outside of the locking post 17. The fixed base 16, the locking post 17 and the limiting block 12 are integrally formed. The limiting block 12 can limit the lock handle 13 and prevent the lock handle 13 from coming off the locking post 17.

[0035] Preferably, by setting up the locking post 17, limiting block 12, locking slot 18, rotating block 14 and locking handle 13, after pulling the locking handle 13 to pull up the zipper 7, the rotating block 14 can be rotated to engage the locking slot 18 on the locking handle 13 with the locking post 17, so that the locking handle 13 is fixed on the locking post 17. At the same time, the limiting block 12 can prevent the locking handle 13 from coming loose from the locking post 17, ensuring that the position of the locking handle 13 and the lock head 15 will not slide down, and avoiding the diving suit zipper 7 from becoming loose and affecting the diving during the diving process.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
