Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a wrap-around ankle brace is characterized by comprising a foot support part 1, a leg fixing part 2, a wrap-around part 4, and an air injection end 5. The foot support part 1 and the leg fixing part 2 are connected. The wrap-around part 4 is disposed inside the foot support part 1 and the leg fixing part 2. The wrap-around part 4 is a hollow bladder. The wrap-around part 4 is provided with an air injection end 5 for injecting air into the wrap-around part 4. The air injection end 5 prevents gas leakage inside the wrap-around part 4 and can be manually vented. The ankle joint is passed through the wrap-around part 4, and then the foot and leg are fixed in the foot support part 1 and the leg fixing part 2. Then, according to the individual's situation, air is injected into the wrap-around part 4 through the air injection end 5 using an air injection device. As air is injected, the wrap-around part 4 continuously expands to tightly wrap the ankle joint.

[0028] Among them, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the foot support part 1 and the leg fixing part 2 are connected by multiple flexible connectors 3, so that the ankle joint can perform corresponding movements.

[0029] Among them, such as Figure 1-8As shown, the air injection end 5 includes an installation tube 5-1, an air inlet 5-2, a connecting slide 5-3, a communicating chamber 5-4, a connecting hole 5-5, an elastic part 5-6, and a sealing part 5-7. The installation tube 5-1 has an air inlet 5-2 and a connecting slide 5-3 that are interconnected. The communicating chamber 5-4 is disposed inside the installation tube 5-1 and surrounds the connecting slide 5-3. The connecting slide 5-3 and the communicating chamber 5-4 are connected through the connecting hole 5-5. The sealing part 5-7 slides inside the connecting slide 5-3 and is larger than the air inlet 5-2. The elastic part 5-6 is disposed inside the connecting slide 5-3 and pushes the sealing part 5-7 against the air inlet 5-2. The sealing part 5-7 is a sealing ball. The elastic part 5-6 is disposed inside the connecting slide 5-3 and pushes the sealing part 5-7 against the air inlet 5-2. The device is a spring, but when air needs to be injected, the air outlet of the air injection device is aligned with the air inlet 5-2 of the mounting tube 5-1. The gas pushes the sealing part 5-7 to slide inside the connecting slide 5-3 and compresses the elastic part 5-6. Then, the air inlet 5-2 is connected through the connecting chamber 5-4, the connecting hole 5-5 and the connecting slide 5-3. Air enters the wrapping part 4 through the air inlet 5-2, the connecting chamber 5-4, the connecting hole 5-5 and the connecting slide 5-3, causing the wrapping part 4 to expand and wrap the ankle joint. After air injection, the air pressure inside the wrapping part 4 causes the sealing part 5-7 to seal the air inlet 5-2 to prevent air leakage. When pressure needs to be released, the sealing part 5-7 is pushed to release the seal on the air inlet 5-2.

[0030] Among them, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the foot support part 1 is provided with an adjustment component 6 for adjusting the air pressure inside the wrapping part 4. The adjustment component 6 includes an adjustment box 6-1, a contraction chamber 6-2, a movable plug 6-3, a connecting channel 6-4, an adjustment rod 6-5, and a locking component. The adjustment component 6 has a contraction chamber 6-2 inside, and the movable plug 6-3 slides inside the contraction chamber 6-2. The lower end of the contraction chamber 6-2 is connected to the inside of the wrapping part 4 through the connecting channel 6-4. The adjustment rod 6-5 is set on the movable plug 6-3 and drives the movable plug 6-3 to move. The adjustment box 6-1 is provided with a locking component for fixing the adjustment rod 6-5. The air pressure inside the wrapping part 4 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the movable plug 6-3 inside the contraction chamber 6-2. The air pressure is adjusted by pulling the movable plug 6-3 to slide inside the contraction chamber 6-2 by the adjustment rod 6-5. The locking component locks after the air pressure is adjusted to prevent the air pressure inside the wrapping part 4 from changing.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 1-8As shown, the locking assembly includes a limiting hole 6-6, a mounting base 6-7, a limiting post 6-8, and a tension spring 6-9. The multiple limiting holes 6-6 are linearly arranged on the adjusting rod 6-5. The mounting base 6-7 is mounted on the adjusting box 6-1. The limiting post 6-8 slides on the mounting base 6-7. A tension spring 6-9 is provided between the limiting post 6-8 and the mounting base 6-7 to push the limiting post 6-8 into the limiting hole 6-6. By pulling the limiting post 6-8 to compress the tension spring 6-9, the limiting post 6-8 is pulled out from the limiting hole 6-6 to release the lock.
