Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sports training technology, and specifically relates to a sports training joint protector. Background Technology
[0002] Sports training joint braces are assistive devices that protect joint health by providing external support, fixation, or limiting the range of motion of joints. They physically restrict abnormal joint movement, distribute joint pressure, and reduce the risk of injury caused by excessive flexion, extension, or twisting during sports or daily activities. For example, knee braces can reduce the impact on ligaments during jumping and running.
[0003] Knee braces are a type of knee joint training protective gear. Currently, some knee braces are designed to protect the knees and reduce knee injuries and abrasions caused by falls during sports training. They typically have protective pads or shells on the front of the knee brace, corresponding to the lower side of the knee. This can minimize knee damage in the event of a fall. However, many sports training programs frequently involve falls, and the protective pads or shells on the front of the knee brace are easily damaged. Currently, it is not possible to replace the protective pads or shells of knee braces individually, and replacing the entire knee brace would be wasteful. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sports training joint protector that solves the problem of frequent falls during training in many sports, where the knees are frequently bumped and the protective pads or shells on the front of the knee brace are easily damaged. Currently, it is not possible to replace the protective pads or shells of the knee brace individually, and replacing the entire knee brace is wasteful.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a sports training joint protector, comprising an elastic sleeve, a front layer attached to one side of the elastic sleeve, a back layer attached to the side of the elastic sleeve away from the front layer, a circular opening 1 on the lower center of the side of the front layer away from the elastic sleeve, an annular hook-and-loop fastener 1 sewn to the outer edge of the circular opening 1, a protective shell provided on the inner side of the circular opening 1, the protective shell being spherical and protruding from the circular opening 1 to the outer side of the front layer, and an annular hook-and-loop fastener 2 fixedly provided on the side edge of the protective shell away from the front layer, the annular hook-and-loop fastener 2 being fastened and adhered to the annular hook-and-loop fastener 1.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: when the protective shell is frequently damaged by bumps, there is no need to replace the whole shell. Just peel off the second ring hook from one point, and the second ring hook will remove the protective shell as a whole. Then, replace the second ring hook and the protective shell. The replacement is convenient and quick, and it greatly saves replacement costs compared to replacing the whole shell.
[0007] To provide both protection and comfort for the overall shell;
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the protective shell includes a plastic outer shell and a silicone inner pad, the plastic outer shell is bonded to the silicone inner pad, the second annular hook and loop fastener is disposed on the side of the plastic outer shell away from the silicone inner pad, and the silicone inner pad is embedded inside the circular opening.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the plastic material is elastic, has excellent toughness and strength, and good wear resistance, making it suitable for external direct impact protection; the silicone has a high cushioning effect and is relatively soft and comfortable, making it suitable for internal cushioning; the plastic outer shell and the silicone inner pad are used together to combine the protective and comfortable properties of the shell.
[0010] To reduce other sliding scratches and impacts;
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the side of the plastic shell away from the silicone pad is uniformly and integrally provided with spherical protrusions.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the plastic shell has spherical protrusions uniformly and integrally arranged on the side away from the silicone inner pad. The spherical protrusions can increase the roughness of the impact surface of the plastic shell, thereby increasing the friction. When falling, the friction can help control the movement of the knee and reduce the sliding effect, thereby reducing other sliding abrasions and impact injuries.
[0013] To achieve high wear resistance and breathability;
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: both the front layer and the back layer are nylon fabric layers.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: nylon has higher abrasion resistance and breathability.
[0016] For rapid heat dissipation in the knee joint and the bend of the leg;
[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: both sides of the elastic sleeve are provided with circular holes at equal intervals, and a second circular opening is provided in the middle of the side of the circular hole away from the front layer, and the second circular opening penetrates the back layer to the outside.
[0018] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that it allows for rapid heat dissipation at the knee joint and the bend of the leg.
[0019] In order to tighten the upper and lower openings of the elastic sleeve;
[0020] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: hook and loop fasteners are provided on both the upper and lower edges of the front and back layers.
[0021] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that by fastening the hook and loop fasteners, the upper and lower openings of the elastic sleeve can be tightened, thereby increasing the overall stability of the elastic sleeve relative to the knee.
[0022] In order to remove and replace the loop fastener and the protective shell separately;
[0023] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a fixing piece is arranged around the outer perimeter of the plastic shell, and an insertion hole is opened through the side of the fixing piece. The second ring hook and loop fastener is provided with a buckle head corresponding to the fixing piece one on the side close to the first ring hook and loop fastener. The buckle head is made of plastic and is tightly inserted into the fixing piece through the insertion hole.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the plastic shell is assembled by tightly inserting the fixing piece and the snap fastener, and it is easy to remove and replace the ring hook and the shell separately during use.
[0025] The parts of the device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.
[0033] like Figure 1 — Figure 5As shown: A sports training joint protector includes an elastic sleeve 1. A front layer 2 is adhesively attached to one side of the elastic sleeve 1, and a back layer 3 is adhesively attached to the side of the elastic sleeve 1 away from the front layer 2. A circular opening 4 is provided on the lower center of the side of the front layer 2 away from the elastic sleeve 1. An annular hook-and-loop fastener 5 is sewn to the outer edge of the circular opening 4. A protective shell 7 is provided on the inner side of the circular opening 4. The protective shell 7 is spherically shaped and protrudes from the circular opening 4 to the outer side of the front layer 2. An annular hook-and-loop fastener 6 is fixedly attached to the side edge of the protective shell 7 away from the front layer 2. The annular hook-and-loop fastener 6 is fastened to the annular hook-and-loop fastener 5. When the protective shell 7 is frequently damaged by impacts, it does not need to be replaced as a whole; only the annular hook-and-loop fastener 6 needs to be removed from the annular hook-and-loop fastener 5. Peeling off the second ring hook 6 will remove the entire protective shell 7. Then, simply replace the second ring hook 6 and the protective shell 7 with a new one. Replacement is quick and easy, significantly reducing replacement costs compared to replacing the entire shell. The protective shell 7 includes a plastic outer shell 71 and a silicone inner pad 72. The plastic outer shell 71 and the silicone inner pad 72 are adhered together. The second ring hook 6 is located on the side of the plastic outer shell 71 away from the silicone inner pad 72. The silicone inner pad 72 is embedded inside the circular opening 4. The plastic material is elastic, has excellent toughness and strength, and good wear resistance, making it suitable for external direct impact protection. Silicone has high cushioning effect and is relatively soft and comfortable, making it suitable for internal cushioning. The plastic outer shell 71 and the silicone inner pad 72 work together to provide comprehensive protection for the protective shell 7. For safety and comfort, the plastic outer shell 71 has spherical protrusions 73 uniformly and integrally formed on the side away from the silicone inner pad 72. These spherical protrusions 73 increase the roughness of the impact surface of the plastic outer shell 71, thereby increasing friction. During a fall, this friction helps control the movement of the knee, reducing slippage and thus minimizing other sliding abrasions and injuries. Both the front layer 2 and the back layer 3 are made of nylon fabric, which has high wear resistance and breathability. The elastic sleeve 1 has equally spaced circular holes 10 on both sides. A second circular opening 11 is formed in the center of the side of each circular hole 10 away from the front layer 2, penetrating the back layer 3 to the outside. For rapid heat dissipation at the knee joint and bend of the leg, hook and loop fasteners 12 are provided on both the upper and lower edges of the front layer 2 and the back layer 3. By fastening the hook and loop fasteners 12, the upper and lower openings of the elastic sleeve 1 can be tightened, thereby increasing the overall stability of the elastic sleeve 1 relative to the knee. Fixing pieces 8 are provided around the outer perimeter of the plastic shell 71. Insertion holes are provided through the side of the fixing pieces 8. The second ring hook and loop fastener 6 is provided with a buckle head 9 on the side of the fixing piece 8 near the first ring hook and loop fastener 5. The buckle head 9 is made of plastic and is tightly inserted into the fixing piece 8 through the insertion hole. The plastic shell 71 is assembled by the tight insertion of the fixing piece 8 and the buckle head 9, which makes it easy to disassemble the second ring hook and loop fastener 6 and the shell 7 for individual replacement during use.
[0034] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0035] When using, place the elastic sleeve 1 over the knee. The front layer 2 protects the knee and leg from the front of the elastic sleeve 1, while the back layer 3 protects the back of the leg from the crease. The protective shell 7 is positioned slightly below the knee, protecting the area below the knee that is frequently bumped. When the protective shell 7 is damaged by frequent impacts, it does not need to be replaced entirely. Simply peel off the second ring hook 6 from the first ring hook 5. The second ring hook 6 will remove the protective shell 7 completely. Then, replace the second ring hook 6 and the protective shell 7 with new ones. The replacement is convenient and quick, greatly saving replacement costs compared to replacing the entire garment. In addition, plastic material is elastic, has excellent toughness and strength, and good wear resistance, making it suitable for direct external impact protection. Silicone has high cushioning effect and is relatively soft and comfortable, making it suitable for internal cushioning. The plastic outer shell 71 and the silicone inner pad 72 work together to combine the protective and comfortable properties of the protective shell 7. Furthermore, the side of the plastic outer shell 71 away from the silicone inner pad 72 is uniformly and integrally provided with spherical protrusions 73. The spherical protrusions 73 can increase the roughness of the impact surface of the plastic outer shell 71, thereby increasing the friction. When knocked over, the friction can... This design helps control knee movement, reducing slippage and thus minimizing other chafing and contusions. Furthermore, both the front layer 2 and the back layer 3 are made of nylon fabric, which offers high abrasion resistance and breathability. Additionally, the elastic sleeve 1 has equidistant circular holes 10 on both sides, and a second circular opening 11 is located in the center of the side of the hole 10 furthest from the front layer 2, extending through the back layer 3 to the outside for rapid heat dissipation from the knee joint and the flexor of the leg. Moreover, both the upper and lower edges of the front layer 2 and the back layer 3 are fitted with hook and loop fasteners 12, which, when fastened, allow for... The upper and lower openings of the elastic sleeve 1 are tightened to increase the overall stability of the elastic sleeve 1 relative to the knee. In addition, a fixing piece 8 is arranged around the outer perimeter of the plastic shell 71. The side of the fixing piece 8 has a through hole. The second ring hook and loop fastener 6 is provided with a buckle head 9 on the side of the first ring hook and loop fastener 5 corresponding to the fixing piece 8. The buckle head 9 is made of plastic and is tightly inserted into the fixing piece 8 through the hole. The plastic shell 71 is assembled by the tight insertion of the fixing piece 8 and the buckle head 9. During use, it is convenient to disassemble the second ring hook and loop fastener 6 and the shell 7 for individual replacement.
