[0031] The embodiments of the technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application and are therefore merely examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] See Figures 1-6 A multi-angle adjustable elbow support includes a support module 10 and an elbow support module 30. The support module 10 is movable and telescopic relative to the elbow support module 30. A connecting seat 20 is provided at one end of the support module 10 near the elbow support module 30, and the elbow support module 30 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 20. The elbow support module 30 rotates relative to the connecting seat 20 to achieve angle adjustment. The connecting seat 20 is provided with a locking module 40 that engages and locks with the elbow support module 30, constraining the rotation of the elbow support module 30 relative to the connecting seat 20. In this embodiment, with the elbow support module rotated, its angle can be adjusted relative to the support module to reach the desired position and meet the user's needs. Furthermore, with the locking module, rotation can be locked to prevent the elbow support module from rotating relative to the support module during use and affecting usability. The movable and telescopic design of the support module allows for length adjustment according to the user's needs, changing the height of the elbow support module to accommodate users of different heights.

[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support module 10 includes a first telescopic member 120 and a second telescopic member 130. The first telescopic member 120 is longitudinally movable relative to the second telescopic member 130. The purpose of the two being movable is to achieve height adjustment. The connecting seat 20 is fixedly connected to the second telescopic member 130.

[0034] The connecting seat 20 and the second telescopic member 130 are connected by fasteners such as bolts.

[0035] See Figure 2The support module 10 also includes a connecting pipe 110, which has a connecting cavity 111. The first telescopic member 120 and the second telescopic member 130 are movably disposed in the connecting cavity 111. Fasteners are also provided to fix the first telescopic member 120 and the second telescopic member 130 in the connecting cavity 111 respectively.

[0036] Furthermore, the connecting cavity 111 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 150 arranged longitudinally, and the first telescopic member 120 and the second telescopic member 130 are respectively provided with connecting holes 140. The fastener is a spring pin provided in the first telescopic member 120 and the second telescopic member 130. The elasticity is an existing commercially available product. The spring pin is composed of an elastic element and a spring post. Under the action of the elastic element, the spring post is inserted into the connecting hole 140 and any one of the positioning holes 150, thereby constraining the first telescopic member 120 / second telescopic member 130 to move relative to the connecting cavity 111.

[0037] See Figure 2 There are two connecting cavities 111, namely the first cavity 112 and the second cavity 113. The first telescopic member 120 is movably disposed in the first cavity 112, and the second telescopic member 130 is movably disposed in the second cavity 113.

[0038] Furthermore, the two connecting cavities 111 are spaced apart on the left and right sides. The purpose of this arrangement is to improve the overall support strength, thereby enhancing stability.

[0039] See Figures 3 to 6 The elbow support module 30 includes an elbow support 310, which is connected to a grip handle 340 and has a connector 300. The connecting seat 20 has an installation cavity 200, and the connector 300 is inserted into the installation cavity 200. The connector 300 and the connecting seat 20 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 400.

[0040] See Figure 3 The elbow support 310 is movably equipped with a connecting rod 330, and the grip handle 340 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 330. The movable connecting rod 330 is designed to adjust the position of the grip handle 340. The connecting rod 330 is locked to the elbow support 310 using fasteners, which can be bolts or spring pins. When using bolt locking, the elbow support 310 has a channel and a threaded hole communicating with the channel. The connecting rod 330 is inserted into the channel to achieve movement adjustment. The threaded hole is connected to a bolt; tightening the bolt to make it abut against the connecting rod achieves locking.

[0041] See Figures 4 to 6The inner wall of the mounting cavity 200 is provided with a first locking coupling groove 210, and the side wall of the connector 300 is provided with a second locking coupling groove 360 ​​that communicates with the first locking coupling groove 210; the first locking coupling groove 210 and the second locking coupling groove 360 ​​are spaced apart from each other; the locking module 40 includes a locking coupling member 410 that can move left and right relative to the connector 20, and the locking coupling member 410 is movably disposed in the first locking coupling groove 210 and the second locking coupling groove 360; the locking coupling member 410 can move from a first position to a second position relative to the connector 20; When the locking coupling member 410 is displaced to the first position, it is simultaneously located within the first locking coupling groove 210 and the second locking coupling groove 360, thereby constraining the relative rotation between the connecting seat 20 and the connecting member 300. The connecting seat 20 is provided with a driving member 420 that moves left and right relative to the connecting seat 20. The driving member 420 is used to drive the locking coupling member 410 to move from the first position to the second position. The locking module 40 also includes an elastic element 430, which is used to apply an elastic force to the locking coupling member 410 so that the locking coupling member 410 is held in the first position.

[0042] In some embodiments, the elastic element 430 is a spring.

[0043] See Figure 6 The driving component 420 is provided with multiple transmission buckles 440. A limit slot 220 is provided in the first locking coupling groove 210. The transmission buckles 440 are engaged in the limit slot 220 and abut against the locking coupling component 410.

[0044] See Figure 6 The connecting seat 20 is provided with a cavity 230 for accommodating the driving component 420, and the cavity 230 is connected to the limiting slot 220.

[0045] See Figure 2 The elbow support 310 is connected to a strap 320.

[0046] See Figure 2 The elbow rest 310 has an anti-slip texture 350 on the surface that fits against the arm.
