[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an ankle joint protection device according to Embodiment 1 of this utility model includes a foot pad 1 and a leg guard 2.
[0038] The foot pad 1 has a receiving groove 11 for receiving the foot, and the sidewall 12 of the receiving groove 11 can be connected to a fastening member for securing the foot. In some examples, the foot pad 1 includes a pad bottom 13 and a sidewall 12 surrounding the periphery of the pad bottom 13, the sidewall 12 and the pad bottom 13 defining the receiving groove 11 for receiving the foot after wearing shoes. The sidewall 12 matches the upper of the shoe.
[0039] In some examples, the bottom of the foot pad 1 has an anti-slip and abrasion-resistant layer to provide anti-slip and abrasion-resistant properties. Specifically, the anti-slip and abrasion-resistant layer is TPR (Thermo-Plastic-Rubber material) overmolded. The anti-slip and abrasion-resistant layer can be integrally formed with the foot pad 1.
[0040] In some examples, the foot pad 1 is provided with a connecting hole for connecting a tightening member to tighten the foot, wherein the tightening member can be an elastic bandage to tighten the foot. Specifically, the connecting hole is provided on the side wall 12, and there can be multiple holes.
[0041] The rear of the leg guard 2 and the foot pad 1 are detachably connected. The leg guard 2 and the foot pad 1 are intersected and connected to fit the feet and legs. Specifically, the leg guard 2 and the foot pad 1 are connected at approximately a 90-degree angle to fit the feet and legs. The leg guard 2 can be connected to a fastening device for tightening the legs.
[0042] In some examples, the leg guards 2 are flat, which makes them take up less space during transportation. Of course, the leg guards 2 can also be curved to match the legs. There are two leg guards 2 arranged parallel to each other, with the two leg guards 2 facing each other. The leg guards 2 are used to protect the legs.
[0043] In some examples, the leg guard 2 and the rear of the foot pad 1 are detachably connected by an elastic buckle 3. Specifically, a groove 31 is formed on the side wall 12 of the foot pad 1 along the Z-axis direction, and a protruding buckle 32 is provided on the leg guard 2 along the Y-axis direction. The buckle 32 protrudes from the plane of the leg guard 2, and the leg guard 2 can be inserted into the groove 31 of the foot pad 1. The buckle 32 can abut against the bottom wall of the groove 31.
[0044] The foot pad 1 has a side wall 12, a side plate 14 opposite to the side wall 12, and a first connecting plate 15 and a second connecting plate 16 that are respectively connected to the side wall 12 on both sides of the side plate 14, defining a slot 31. The buckle 32 is set as a spring piece, one side of the spring piece is fixedly connected to the leg guard plate 2, and the other side of the spring piece is hollowed out from the leg guard plate 2. The spring piece protrudes from the plane where the leg guard plate 2 is located. The buckle 32 is a spring piece, which makes it easy to snap on.
[0045] The bottom of the side plate 14 forms a first inner groove 141, and the buckle 32 can abut against the wall of the first inner groove 141, so that the buckle 32 can be easily and conveniently engaged in the slot 31. The top of the side plate 14 forms a second inner groove 142, and the leg guard plate 2 is provided with an insert plate 21 along the Z-axis direction that matches the shape of the second inner groove 142. The insert plate 21 can be inserted into the second inner groove 142. For example, in this embodiment, the second inner groove 142 is set as U-shaped, and correspondingly, the insert plate 21 is set as square. The insertion of the insert plate 21 into the second inner groove 142 serves as a guide for the insertion of the leg guard plate 2 and the foot pad 1, so that the insertion is smooth and convenient.
[0046] When the foot pad 1 and leg guard 2 are assembled, the lower end of the leg guard 2 is inserted into the slot 31 of the foot pad 1, and the buckle 32 abuts against the bottom wall of the slot 31. The buckle 32 is set as a spring piece to make it easy to engage. When the foot pad 1 and leg guard 2 are disassembled, press the buckle 32 to disengage it from the bottom wall of the slot 31, so that the leg guard 2 can be pulled out of the slot 31 for easy disassembly.
[0047] In some examples, the leg guard 2 is provided with connecting units 22 for connecting and tightening members to the legs. At least one connecting unit 22 is provided to accommodate legs of different lengths. The connecting unit 22 is provided with connecting holes for connecting and tightening members to the feet. Multiple connecting holes may be provided, and the tightening member may be an elastic bandage to tighten the legs.
[0048] Because the foot pad 1 has a receiving groove 11 for accommodating the foot, and the side wall 12 of the receiving groove 11 can be connected to a fastening member for tightening the foot, the leg guard 2 can be detachably connected to the rear of the foot pad 1. The leg guard 2 can be connected to a fastening member for tightening the leg, which can be used for ankle joint protection. Moreover, the detachable connection between the leg guard 2 and the rear of the foot pad 1 allows the leg guard 2 and the foot pad 1 to be disassembled and laid flat during transportation, resulting in a small volume for transportation and thus facilitating transportation.
