Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports protective equipment technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for sports injury protection. Background Technology
[0002] In the current technological landscape, as people place increasing importance on health, the number of people participating in sports is growing daily. However, sports injuries occur frequently during exercise for various reasons. Common sports injuries include muscle strains, joint sprains, and ligament injuries. These injuries not only cause physical pain but can also affect the athlete's normal work and life. Although there are some sports protective products on the market, such as knee braces and wrist guards, these products often have limited functions and cannot comprehensively and effectively prevent and alleviate various sports injuries. Furthermore, for some more serious sports injuries, existing protective products may not provide sufficient support and protection.
[0003] Currently, traditional sports protective gear, especially knee braces, generally uses materials that are not very lightweight. Long-term use can easily put a strain on users, and the materials are not environmentally friendly. They are also prone to deformation after washing, failing to provide sustained protection. Furthermore, existing knee braces lack auxiliary cushioning for the knee area and ligament protection, posing a risk of injury due to excessive exercise. In addition, ordinary knee braces are time-consuming to put on, and most use Velcro for fastening, which has a limited range of tightness and is not secure enough, easily loosening after exercise and failing to provide optimal protection. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a sports injury protection assistive device. It adopts a combination of TPU and carbon fiber materials to meet the requirements of high-strength protection and lightweight, and is convenient and quick to wear and tighten, with a large adjustable range and better protective effect.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A sports injury protection assistive device includes a TPU shell that adapts to the shape of the knee and leg, and carbon fiber support strips disposed on both sides of the TPU shell. Multiple threading points are provided on the carbon fiber support strips on both sides, and elastic straps tightly wrapped around the back of the TPU shell are threaded through the multiple threading points. Rotating buttons are provided in the middle of the carbon fiber support strips on both sides, and two rotating buttons are fastened to the elastic straps and are suitable for rotation adjustment to loosen or tighten the elastic straps. A cushioning gasket is also provided in the middle of the front side of the TPU shell.
[0006] Furthermore, the buffer gasket is made of EVA sponge and memory foam, with the content of EVA sponge being greater than that of memory foam.
[0007] Furthermore, the buffer gasket has a vent hole in the center.
[0008] Furthermore, a mesh breathable layer is provided inside the breathable circular holes.
[0009] Furthermore, a soft spring is embedded inside the carbon fiber support strip.
[0010] Furthermore, the threading seat is U-shaped.
[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the TPU outer shell is provided with ventilating holes or ventilation channels.
[0012] Furthermore, a power display screen is provided on the front side of the TPU housing.
[0013] Furthermore, a charging port is provided on the front side of the TPU housing.
[0014] Furthermore, a photoelectric sensor is provided inside the buffer washer.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model adopts a combination of a TPU outer shell and carbon fiber support strips, which ensures both high-strength protective performance and lightweight design, preventing users from feeling burdened by excessive weight during exercise. Furthermore, the elasticity, abrasion resistance, and weather resistance of TPU, along with the excellent strength and stiffness of carbon fiber, allow it to adapt to various complex sports environments, providing stable protection for the user. Moreover, the materials of the TPU outer shell and carbon fiber support strips are more environmentally friendly and can be recycled and reused.
[0016] 2. This utility model, through the design of carbon fiber support strips on both sides of the TPU shell and the buffer pad on the front, allows the buffer pad to be quickly aligned with the patella when worn. The longitudinal carbon fiber support strips on both sides can cover the ligament areas on the inner and outer sides of the knee joint, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of wearing, providing good cushioning protection for the knee, and playing a good role in relieving and distributing the burden on the ligaments, thus greatly improving the overall protective effect.
[0017] 3. This utility model uses multiple threading seats on both sides, elastic straps, and rotating buttons on both sides as a tightening and binding structure, so that tightening can be achieved simply by rotating the rotating buttons in both directions, which is labor-saving, time-saving, quick and convenient; at the same time, the elastic straps have a wider range of adjustment, which is beneficial to the use of people of different body types and the tightening effect after deformation, thereby making the protective effect during sports better.
[0018] 4. The main body of this utility model is made of a combination of TPU and carbon fiber materials, and the buffer gasket is made of a combination of EVA sponge and memory foam. Soft springs are embedded inside the carbon fiber support strip. This can slow down the damage and deformation of the overall structure. After each washing, brushing and drying, it can quickly return to its original shape, avoid deformation that would reduce the protective effect, and extend its service life.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the contents of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown in this embodiment, a sports injury protection assistive device, namely a new type of knee brace, is provided. It is mainly composed of a TPU shell 1, carbon fiber support strips on both sides 2, four threading bases 3, two elastic straps 4, two rotating buttons 5, and cushioning washers 6.
[0022] To achieve lightweight design, TPU and carbon fiber were selected. The TPU outer shell 1 adapts to the shape of the knee and leg, while the carbon fiber support strips 2 on both sides follow the contour of the TPU outer shell 1 and are fixed on both sides for support and shaping. The combination of the TPU outer shell 1 and the carbon fiber support strips 2 ensures both high-strength protective performance and lightweight design, preventing users from feeling burdened by excessive weight during exercise. At the same time, the elasticity, abrasion resistance, and weather resistance of TPU, along with the excellent strength and stiffness of carbon fiber, can adapt to various complex sports environments, providing stable protection for users.
[0023] To facilitate the tightening and loosening of the knee brace, in this embodiment, four threading bases 3 are symmetrically grouped and fixed to the carbon fiber support strips 2 on both sides; two elastic straps 4 are separated vertically and threaded onto the two flush threading bases 3, which are specifically U-shaped grooves. When tightened, the elastic straps 4 are tightly wrapped around the back of the TPU outer shell 1; each of the carbon fiber support strips 2 on both sides has a rotating button 5 fixed in the middle, and each of the two rotating buttons 5 is fastened to one end of the two elastic straps 4. Thus, the elastic straps 4 can be tightened or loosened by rotating the two rotating buttons 5. Tightening in this way only requires rotating the rotating buttons 5 in both directions, which is labor-saving, time-saving, quick and convenient; at the same time, the adjustable range of the elastic straps 4 is also greater, which is beneficial to the use of people of different body types and the tightening effect after deformation, thereby improving the protective effect during exercise.
[0024] To enhance the protective effect, a cushioning pad 6 is fixed to the center of the front side of the TPU shell 1 in this embodiment. The cushioning pad 6 is made of EVA foam and memory foam, with EVA foam accounting for a larger proportion than memory foam, making EVA foam the primary material. This effectively absorbs and disperses the impact of exercise, reduces pressure on joints and muscles, and greatly reduces the risk of injury. It can properly handle the reaction force of running or the instantaneous impact of jumping, providing reliable protection for the user's body. Combined with the carbon fiber support strips 2 on both sides of the TPU shell 1 and the cushioning pad 6 on the front, the cushioning pad 6 can be quickly aligned with the patella when worn. The longitudinal carbon fiber support strips 2 on both sides can cover the ligament areas on the inner and outer sides of the knee joint, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of wearing and providing good cushioning protection for the knee. It also plays a good role in relieving and distributing the burden on the ligaments, thus greatly improving the overall protective effect.
[0025] In this embodiment, when using the knee brace, first align the central circular cushioning pad 6 with the patella, ensuring that the longitudinal carbon fiber support strips 2 on both sides cover the ligament areas on the inner and outer sides of the knee joint, i.e., provide directional support for key areas. Then, first rotate the rotating button 5 to tighten the elastic strap 4 at the thigh, fixing the upper edge of the knee brace to the lower side of the thigh muscle; then adjust the elastic strap 4 at the calf to tighten it, ensuring that your fingers can be inserted between the skin but without slipping. If displacement occurs during movement, pause the activity and retighten the straps.
[0026] To extend the service life of the structure, a soft spring is also embedded inside the carbon fiber support strip 2 in this embodiment. Therefore, the main body of this embodiment is made of a combination of TPU and carbon fiber materials, the buffer gasket 6 is made of a combination of EVA sponge and memory foam, and a soft spring is embedded inside the carbon fiber support strip 2. This can slow down the damage and deformation of the overall structure, and it can quickly return to its original shape after each cleaning, brushing and drying, avoiding deformation that would reduce the protective effect and extend its service life.
[0027] To facilitate breathability and maintain comfort, a breathable circular hole 60 is provided in the center of the cushioning gasket 6 in this embodiment. A mesh breathable layer is provided inside the breathable circular hole 60. Alternatively, breathable holes or ventilation channels can be provided on the surface of the TPU outer shell 1. This allows sweat to be quickly wicked away, keeping the skin dry and comfortable. This structural design not only improves the user's exercise experience but also effectively reduces skin discomfort caused by sweat accumulation.
[0028] To facilitate monitoring of battery level and charging, a battery level display screen 7 is provided on the upper front side of the TPU housing 1 in this embodiment, and a type-c charging port 8 is provided on the lower front side of the TPU housing 1.
[0029] To facilitate monitoring and sensing, a photoelectric sensor is provided inside the buffer gasket 6 in this embodiment, which can be used to collect data such as skin temperature, heart rate, and joint impact force.
[0030] This embodiment, combined with an intelligent chip controller, possesses extremely powerful detection capabilities. Internally, it meticulously integrates photoelectric sensors and a composite chip based on Chipsea Technologies' CS1262 and combined with the LH001-91. Through these advanced sensors and chips, the device can accurately collect the user's body data. Furthermore, it can conveniently connect to a mobile app to upload and download data to the cloud, thus enabling real-time monitoring of key indicators such as heart rate, body temperature, and exercise intensity.
