One end of the connecting strap 150 is detachably connected to the first connecting member 121, and the other end of the connecting strap 150 away from the first connecting member 121 is detachably connected to the second connecting member 131. Correspondingly, the first protective piece 110, the second protective piece 120, and the third protective piece 130 of the knee brace assembly 100 all cover the knee and leg 200 of the human body. The independent design of the first protective piece 110, the second protective piece 120, and the third protective piece 130 makes them easy to wear and allows for adjustment according to different patients' leg shapes, ensuring good coverage and fit. With good performance, the two ends of the adhesive strip 140 are connected to the second protective piece 120 and the third protective piece 130, and the adhesive strip 140 can be pasted and wrapped around the outer surface of the first protective piece 110, the second protective piece 120 and the third protective piece 130 for support and fixation. The two ends of the connecting strap 150 are connected to the first connecting piece 121 and the second connecting piece 131 respectively. The connecting strap 150 is used to hang on the human shoulder, so that the knee joint protective piece 100 can obtain a moderate lifting force, which is convenient for installation and removal, and provides connection and support for the knee joint protective piece 100, reducing the possibility of slippage or falling off when wrapping the knee.

[0041] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the first connector 121 and the second connector 131 are connecting buckles. The connecting strap 150 has hook portions 151 at both ends. The hook portions 151 are detachably connected to the connecting buckles. Correspondingly, the second protective piece 120 can be connected to the hook portion 151 of the connecting strap 150 through the first connector 121, and the third protective piece 130 can be connected to the hook portion 151 of the connecting strap 150 through the second connector 131. This allows the two ends of the connecting strap 150 to be connected to the second protective piece 120 and the third protective piece 130 respectively, providing support and limiting for the second protective piece 120 and the third protective piece 130. This reduces the chance of the second protective piece 120 and the third protective piece 130 slipping during use, ensuring the effectiveness of the knee joint protective gear assembly 100 and improving the user experience.

[0042] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, the first connector 121 and the second connector 131 are arranged opposite to each other and are located on the same side. The first connector 121 and the second connector 131 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the connecting strap 150, so that the shoulder can bear the weight and distribute the vertical pressure of the second protective piece 120 and the third protective piece 130 through the connecting strap 150. The first connector 121 and the second connector 131 located on the same side are located close to the connecting strap 150 to facilitate connection with the connecting strap 150.

[0043] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, optionally, there are multiple adhesive strips 140, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. These multiple adhesive strips 140 are used to adhere and fix the first protective piece 110, the second protective piece 120, and the third protective piece 130, ensuring the fixing effect of the adhesive strips 140. Further, the surface of the adhesive strips 140 is provided with Velcro, facilitating the wrapping and adhesion of the adhesive strips 140 to the surfaces of the first protective piece 110, the second protective piece 120, and the third protective piece 130, further enhancing the fixing effect of the adhesive strips 140. For example, there are four adhesive strips 140, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, facilitating individual replacement and adjustment of the tension of the adhesive strips 140.
