They are categorized into sports knee braces and general health knee braces. Suitable for athletes, middle-aged and elderly people, and those with knee problems. The knee is a relatively fragile and easily injured part of the body, and injuries there are extremely painful and require a long recovery period.

[0003] Currently, although there are heated knee braces on the market, these knee braces have a simple structure and cannot fit the leg perfectly. This results in gaps between the knee brace and the leg during the heating process, causing heat loss. Furthermore, they cannot be used to apply traditional Chinese medicine, which affects the treatment effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a multifunctional knee brace that can adjust the inner diameter of the treatment channel by squeezing the frame, thereby increasing the tightness of the fit with the leg and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a multifunctional knee brace, including a heated knee brace and a thin film sleeve. The heated knee brace has two sides bent to form a U-shaped part, and the middle of the heated knee brace is arched to form a C-shaped part. A treatment channel matching the diameter of the leg is formed between the U-shaped parts. The thin film sleeve is placed inside the treatment channel. The two sides of the thin film sleeve are bent into the U-shaped part. The outside of the U-shaped part is fitted with a compression frame that presses the U-shaped part inward and squeezes the C-shaped part until the inner ring surface of the C-shaped part fits against the leg. Multiple fixing blocks are embedded in the bent parts of the U-shaped part. A stud is installed at one end of each fixing block. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the compression frame is provided on each stud.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment frame and a nut. The adjustment frame has a through hole in the middle and is sleeved on the stud through the through hole. Both sides of the adjustment frame abut against the outer end face of the extrusion frame. Both sides of the adjustment frame protrude to form a limiting part, which abuts against the outer surface of the extrusion frame. The nut is threaded onto the stud, and one end of the nut abuts against the adjustment frame.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the heated knee pad has an electric heating tape installed inside, one end of which is connected to the heating tape by a wire, and the other end of the wire extends to the outside and is equipped with a thermostat and a power supply.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the inner diameter of the treatment channel is set to gradually decrease from left to right.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the extrusion frame is made of plastic material.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the width of the inner cavity of the compression frame matches the width of the U-shaped part on the heated knee brace, and the inner sides of the U-shaped part are fitted together.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the curved parts on both sides of the film sleeve are clamped and positioned inward by U-shaped parts that move inward.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model has a simple structure. The adjusting frame can push the squeezing frame inward by bringing them closer together. The squeezing frame can reduce the inner diameter of the treatment channel, so that the inner ring of the heated knee brace can fit tightly against the leg, increasing the sealing performance and adapting to different leg sizes. In addition, since the heated knee brace has a thin film sleeve inside, the applied Chinese herbal medicine can be prevented from sticking to the inner wall of the heated knee brace, avoiding contamination. The combination of Chinese herbal medicine and heating increases the therapeutic effect. Attached Figure Description

[0020] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0021] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a multifunctional knee brace, including a heated knee brace 1 and a thin film sleeve 3. The heated knee brace 1 has two sides bent to form a U-shaped part 2, and the middle of the heated knee brace 1 is arched to form a C-shaped part. A treatment channel matching the diameter of the leg is formed between the U-shaped parts 2. The thin film sleeve 3 is placed inside the treatment channel. The two sides of the thin film sleeve 3 are bent into the U-shaped part 2. The outside of the U-shaped part 2 is fitted with a compression frame 4 that presses the U-shaped part 2 inward and squeezes the C-shaped part until the inner ring surface of the C-shaped part fits against the leg. Multiple fixing blocks 5 are embedded in the bent parts of the U-shaped part 2. A stud 6 is installed at one end of each fixing block 5. Each stud 6 is provided with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the compression frame 4.

[0023] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment frame 7 and a nut 8. The adjustment frame 7 has a through hole in the middle and is sleeved on the stud 6 through the through hole. Both sides of the adjustment frame 7 are in contact with the outer end face of the extrusion frame. Both sides of the adjustment frame 7 protrude to form a limiting part 9, which is in contact with the outer surface of the extrusion frame. The nut 8 is threaded to the stud 6, and one end of the nut 8 is in contact with the adjustment frame 7. The moving position of the adjustment frame can be changed by rotating the nut, so that the adjustment frame has a stepless adjustment function, which increases its adaptability.

[0024] In this embodiment, an electric heating tape 10 is installed inside the heated knee pad 1. One end of the heated knee pad 1 is connected to a wire that connects to the heating tape, and the other end of the wire extends to the outside and is equipped with a thermostat and a power supply. The heating temperature of the electric heating tape can be controlled by the thermostat, thereby adapting to different people.

[0025] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the treatment channel is gradually reduced from left to right to adapt to the structure of the leg and increase the tightness of contact with the leg.

[0026] In this embodiment, the extrusion frame 4 is made of plastic material, which reduces weight and cost.

[0027] In this embodiment, the width of the inner cavity of the compression frame 4 matches the width of the U-shaped part 2 on the heated knee pad 1, and the inner sides of the U-shaped part 2 are fitted together so that the U-shaped part can be fully pressed inward.

[0028] In this embodiment, the curved parts on both sides of the film sleeve 3 are clamped and positioned inward by the U-shaped part 2 that moves inward. The U-shaped part that presses inward can press and fix both sides of the film sleeve, increasing the stability of the film sleeve after installation.

[0029] During use, herbal medicine can be applied to the knee area, and a thin film sleeve can be inserted into the heated knee brace. Both the thin film sleeve and the heated knee brace are then placed on the leg. After squeezing the sides of the heated knee brace inwards, the sides are pressed together, forming a U-shape. At this point, a compression frame can be fitted onto the U-shape, and an adjustment bracket can be fitted onto the stud. As the compression sleeve is pushed inwards, the compression frame is also pushed inwards. The closing of the compression frame reduces the inner diameter of the treatment channel, allowing the inner surface of the heated knee brace to fit tightly against the leg, increasing sealing. Furthermore, the thin film sleeve inside the heated knee brace prevents the applied herbal medicine from sticking to the inner wall of the heated knee brace, avoiding contamination. As the heating element heats up, the heat generated is conducted to the thin film sleeve and the knee area. The combination of herbal medicine and heating enhances the therapeutic effect.

[0030] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
