Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of exoskeleton assistive device technology, and in particular to an exoskeleton belt assembly with interchangeable padding positions and types. Background Technology

[0002] Exoskeleton technology has been widely used in the industrial, medical and military fields in recent years, mainly to enhance human strength or provide support. As a core load-bearing component, the comfort and adaptability of the lumbar exoskeleton directly affect the user experience.

[0003] Currently, mainstream exoskeletons use a fixed soft pad design, which uses elastic materials to distribute pressure, but the support points cannot be adjusted according to different body types or task requirements.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, in existing technologies, the soft pad is integrated with the lumbar support and side support, and the fixed soft pad cannot dynamically adjust the pressure distribution point according to ergonomic needs, thus affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issue that fixed pads cannot dynamically adjust pressure distribution points according to ergonomic needs, this application provides an exoskeleton belt assembly with interchangeable pad positions and types.

[0006] This application provides an exoskeleton belt component with interchangeable padding positions and types, employing the following technical solution: An exoskeleton waist belt assembly with interchangeable padding positions and types includes a lumbar support plate, two side support plates, and a back strap. The side support plates are connected to the lumbar support plate, and the back strap is installed on the side support plates and the lumbar support plate. Both the side support plates and the lumbar support plate are provided with padding. Velcro is provided between the padding and the side support plates and the lumbar support plate. The padding is fixed to the side support plates and the lumbar support plate by the Velcro. A detachable waist pack structure is provided between the side support plates.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution and connecting the cushion with Velcro, users can freely adjust the position of the cushion according to their own waist and side pressure needs or comfort preferences. At the same time, they can also replace the cushion with cushions of different thicknesses and materials to meet the needs of diverse scenarios. The Velcro design makes the disassembly, cleaning or replacement of the cushion simple and efficient, without the need for complicated tools. In addition, the combination structure of the side support plate and the lumbar support plate can adapt to the waist curve of users of different body types and improve the overall fit.

[0008] Preferably, the Velcro includes a sub-attachment and a female attachment, the sub-attachment being installed on the lumbar support plate and two side support plates, and the female attachment being placed on the cushion.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the lumbar support plate and side support plate are rigid structures. When the sub-attachment is pasted on them, the rigid base can provide a flatter and more secure adhesion surface, ensuring a tighter fit with the master sticker on the cushion. This reduces the cushion from falling off due to shaking during use and improves support stability. At the same time, since the cushion is the part that comes into direct contact with the human body, the soft fleece texture of the master sticker can prevent the hook side of the sub-attachment from directly contacting the skin or clothing, thus avoiding snagging and scratches and reducing the risk of skin friction discomfort or clothing damage.

[0010] Preferably, the side support plate is provided with a connecting strap, and a fastener is connected to the end of the connecting strap away from the side support plate, and the connecting straps are fixed together by the fastener.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the combination of the connecting strap and the clip can adjust the spacing between the side support plates. Users can precisely control the tightness of the side support plates according to their waist size or waist tightness preference, so that the side support plates fit the sides of the waist more closely, enhance the overall wrapping, and prevent the lumbar support from shifting during activities.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the side support plate is provided with a suspension strap for connecting to the exoskeleton, both ends of the suspension strap are connected to the side support plate, and the suspension strap forms a U-shape.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the U-shaped suspension belt is connected to the side support plate at both ends to form a wraparound load-bearing structure. When connected to the exoskeleton, it can disperse the tension through multi-point contact, avoiding detachment or breakage caused by concentrated force at a single point connection. At the same time, the U-shaped structure can conform to the contour of the corresponding part of the exoskeleton (such as the waist frame of the exoskeleton), increase the contact area, reduce relative slippage, and ensure that the side support plate and the exoskeleton always move synchronously when the user is active (such as walking, bending over, turning around), avoiding loose connection that affects the overall support effect.

[0014] Preferably, the shoulder strap is connected in an adjustable manner, and the length of the shoulder strap can be adjusted as needed.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the adjustable shoulder strap design optimizes the product experience from multiple dimensions such as user body shape differences, usage scenario changes, and dynamic stability. This allows the exoskeleton waist belt component to maintain its core support function while better meeting the actual needs of the exoskeleton waist belt component with freely interchangeable pad positions and types. This improves the product's versatility and user-friendliness. At the same time, the shoulder strap can ensure that the exoskeleton does not slip during use and distribute some of the weight of the exoskeleton borne by the waist.

[0016] Preferably, both ends of the waist bag structure are provided with fixing straps connected by buckles, and the end of the fixing strap away from the waist bag structure is connected to a fixing ring, which is connected to the side support plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the waist pack structure is connected to the side support plates by fixing straps at both ends, which can evenly distribute the weight of the internal items to the side support plates, avoiding the feeling of pressure or tilting on the waist caused by single-point force. At the same time, the length of the fixing straps can be adjusted according to the weight of the items and the user's body feeling, ensuring that the waist pack fits the waist but is not tight, improving the comfort of wearing it for a long time.

[0018] Preferably, the number of the soft pads is several, and the soft pads are distributed on the lumbar support plate and the side support plate. The soft pads can be memory foam soft pads, cooling soft pads filled with cold storage agents, and 3D printed hollow breathable soft pads, etc.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution and distributing several soft pads, a synergistic advantage is formed in terms of comfort, support precision, breathability, and dynamic adaptability. This allows the lumbar support to provide stable support while conforming to the complex shape and dynamic needs of the waist, thus improving the overall practicality of the product. Furthermore, by providing a variety of soft pad options, the lumbar support becomes more flexible in terms of scenario adaptation and meeting users' personalized needs, further enhancing the product's practicality and user satisfaction.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. With the Velcro fastening connecting the pads, users can freely adjust the position of the pads according to their own waist and side pressure needs or comfort preferences. They can even replace the pads with different thicknesses and materials to meet the needs of diverse scenarios. The Velcro design makes the removal, cleaning or replacement of the pads simple and efficient, without the need for complicated tools. At the same time, the combination structure of the side support plate and the lumbar support plate can adapt to the waist curve of users of different body types, improving the overall fit. 2. The combination of the connecting strap and the clip allows for adjustment of the spacing between the side supports. Users can precisely control the tightness of the side supports according to their waist size or waist tightness preference, so that the side supports fit the sides of the waist more closely, enhancing the overall wrapping effect and preventing the lumbar support from shifting during activities. 3. The waist pack structure connects to the side panels via straps at both ends, which can evenly distribute the weight of the contents to the side panels, avoiding the feeling of pressure or tilting on the waist caused by single-point force. At the same time, the length of the straps can be adjusted according to the weight of the contents and the user's body feeling, ensuring that the waist pack fits the waist but is not tight, improving the comfort of wearing it for a long time.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] This application discloses an exoskeleton belt assembly with interchangeable padding positions and types.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An exoskeleton waist belt assembly with interchangeable pad positions and types includes a lumbar support plate 1, two side support plates 2, and a back strap 3. The left and right sides of the lumbar support plate 1 are connected to the side support plates 2 via nylon straps. The back strap 3 is installed on the side support plates 2 and the lumbar support plate 1. Pads 4 are provided on the lumbar support plate 1 and the side support plates 2, and Velcro 5 is attached to the pads 4. The pads 4 are fixedly connected to the lumbar support plate 1 and the side support plates 2 via Velcro 5. A waist pack structure 6 is detachably installed between the two side support plates 2. By connecting the pads 4 via Velcro 5, users can freely adjust the position of the pads 4 according to their own waist and side stress requirements or comfort preferences. They can also replace the pads 4 with pads of different thicknesses or materials to meet diverse needs. The Velcro 5 design makes the removal, cleaning, and replacement of the pads 4 simple and efficient, requiring no complicated tools. Furthermore, the combined structure of the side support plates 2 and the lumbar support plate 1 can adapt to the waist curves of users of different body types, improving overall fit.

[0026] The adjustable shoulder strap 3 allows the length of the shoulder strap 3 to be adjusted according to needs. The design of the adjustable shoulder strap 3 optimizes the product experience from multiple dimensions such as user body shape differences, changes in usage scenarios, and dynamic stability. This allows the exoskeleton waist belt component to maintain its core support function while better meeting the actual needs of the exoskeleton waist belt component with freely interchangeable pad positions and types. This improves the product's versatility and user-friendliness. At the same time, the shoulder strap 3 can ensure that the exoskeleton does not slip during use and can also share some of the weight of the exoskeleton borne by the waist.

[0027] The number of soft pads 4 is several, and the soft pads 4 can be distributed on the lumbar support plate 1 and the side support plate 2 according to the user's needs. The soft pads 4 can be memory foam soft pads, cooling soft pads filled with cold storage agents, and 3D printed hollowed-out breathable soft pads 4, etc. Through the dispersed layout of several soft pads 4, a synergistic advantage is formed in terms of comfort, support precision, breathability and dynamic adaptability. This allows the lumbar support to provide stable support while conforming to the complex shape and dynamic needs of the waist, improving the overall practicality of the product. Furthermore, by providing a variety of soft pad options, the lumbar support is more flexible in terms of scene adaptation and meeting the personalized needs of users, further improving the practicality of the product and user satisfaction.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The Velcro 5 includes a sub-attachment 5-1 and a female attachment 5-2. The sub-attachment 5-1 is fixedly connected to the lumbar support plate 1 and the two side support plates 2 respectively, and the female attachment 5-2 is fixedly connected to the soft pad 4, allowing the soft pad 4 to be removed and replaced. The lumbar support plate 1 and the side support plates 2 are rigid structures. When the sub-attachment 5-1 is pasted on them, it can provide a flatter and more secure adhesion surface through the rigid base, ensuring a tighter fit with the female attachment 5-2 on the soft pad 4, reducing the soft pad 4 from falling off due to shaking during use, and improving support stability. At the same time, the soft pad 4 is the part that directly contacts the human body. The soft fleece surface of the female attachment 5-2 can prevent the hook side of the sub-attachment 5-1 from directly contacting the skin or clothing, causing snagging or scratches, and reducing the risk of skin friction discomfort or clothing damage.

[0029] refer to Figure 4 Both ends of the waist pack mechanism are fixedly connected to fixing straps 10. The end of the fixing strap 10 away from the waist pack structure 6 is adjustablely connected to a fixing ring 11. The side of the fixing ring 11 away from the fixing strap 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the side support plate 2 away from the waist support plate 1. By setting the waist pack mechanism to be connected to the side support plate 2 through the fixing straps 10 at both ends, the weight of the internal items can be evenly distributed to the support plates on both sides, avoiding the waist pack pressure or tilting caused by single-point force. At the same time, the length of the fixing strap 10 can be adjusted according to the weight of the items and the user's body feeling, ensuring that the waist pack structure 6 fits the waist pack but is not tight, improving the comfort of wearing it for a long time.

[0030] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 A connecting strap 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the side support plate 2 away from the lumbar support plate 1. A clip 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting strap 7 away from the side support plate 2, and the two clips 8 are fixed together by plugging. By combining the connecting strap 7 and the clip 8, the distance between the side support plates 2 can be adjusted. Users can adjust it according to their own waist size or waist tightness preference. The clip 8 can precisely control the tightness of the side support plate 2, so that the side support plate 2 fits more tightly to both sides of the waist, enhances the overall wrapping, and prevents the lumbar support from shifting during activities.

[0031] refer to Figure 4 The bottom of the side support plate 2 is fixedly connected to a suspension strap 9 for connection with the exoskeleton, and both ends of the suspension strap 9 are fixedly connected to the sides of the side support plate 2. The suspension strap 9 forms a U-shape at the bottom of the side support plate 2. The U-shaped suspension strap 9 connects to the side support plate 2 at both ends to form a wraparound load-bearing structure. When connected to the exoskeleton, it can disperse the tension through multi-point contact, avoiding detachment or breakage caused by concentrated force at a single point connection. At the same time, the U-shaped structure can conform to the contour of the corresponding part of the exoskeleton (such as the waist frame of the exoskeleton), increase the contact area, reduce relative slippage, and ensure that the side support plate 2 and the exoskeleton always move synchronously when the user moves (such as walking, bending over, turning around), avoiding loose connection that affects the overall support effect.

[0032] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: In implementation, the user uses his / her hand to detach the female sticker 5-2 of the Velcro 5 on the soft pad 4 from the female sticker 5-1 of the Velcro 5 on the waist support plate 1 and the side support plate 2, and then adjusts the position of the soft pad 4 according to the user's own needs, thereby achieving the advantage that the position of the soft pad 4 can be changed at will according to the user's needs. At the same time, after long-term use, the soft pad 4 can be disassembled so that the soft pad 4 can be replaced or cleaned. When wearing the bag, the user adjusts the length of the shoulder strap 3 as needed, then puts the shoulder strap 3 on the shoulder, so that the waist support plate 1 and the side support plate 2 are located at the user's waist. Then, the buckle 8 on the connecting strap 7 on the side support plate 2 is fastened and fixed, so that the soft pad 4 on the side support plate 2 and the waist support plate 1 fits the user's waist bag for wearing, making the user more comfortable. The waist bag structure 6 is fixed on the fixing ring 11 on the side support plate 2, so that the waist bag structure 6 is located at the corresponding position on the front waist of the user, making it convenient for the user to put items.

[0033] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
