Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sports protective gear technology, and in particular relates to a protective gear with an elastic protective structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of national fitness awareness and the continuous increase in participation in sports, sports protective equipment plays an increasingly important role in protecting human health and reducing the risk of sports injuries. The knee joint, as an important weight-bearing and mobile joint in the human body, has a complex structure, is frequently used, and bears a large physiological load, making it susceptible to injury from strenuous exercise, accidental impacts, external pressure, or improper posture. Therefore, effective protection of the knee joint has become one of the important research directions in the design of sports protective products.

[0003] Currently, common knee brace products on the market primarily utilize elastic fabrics, cushioning materials, and foamed impact-resistant structures to provide support and protection for the knee joint. Foamed materials, due to their lightweight, energy-absorbing, and easily moldable characteristics, are widely used in the impact-absorbing layer design of knee braces. Common foamed materials include EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) foam and PU (polyurethane) foam. These products are generally molded in one piece using processes such as molding and hot pressing, and combined with the brace itself, they can, to a certain extent, reduce the direct impact of external forces on the knee joint, lowering the risk of knee injury during exercise.

[0004] For example, patent CN 218073616 U discloses a flexible anti-collision knee pad, which is a flexible anti-collision knee pad made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) foam material in one piece. It includes a pad body, a hot-melt edge, connecting strips, and ventilation holes distributed on the pad body. By setting a ring-shaped hot-melt edge on the outside of the pad body, the connecting strips are used to connect and fix it to the protective body, which helps to improve the comfort and stability when wearing it. At the same time, ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the pad body. Combined with the negative Poisson's ratio structure design, the pad is not easy to wrinkle when bent, which further optimizes the wearing experience. Combined with the fact that the EVA foam material itself has a certain degree of rebound and cushioning performance, it can alleviate the impact of external force to a certain extent and protect the knee joint.

[0005] The aforementioned knee brace solutions have played a positive role in improving the structural comfort, breathability, and protective effect of knee brace products, and have achieved certain results in practical applications. However, with the development of sports protection technology and the continuous improvement of usage demands, existing one-piece molded knee brace solutions based on EVA foam materials still face the following technical challenges in terms of material performance, structural design, and overall protective effect: First, existing EVA foam materials suffer from certain shortcomings in environmental protection and sustainability due to their manufacturing processes and structural limitations. EVA foam materials typically employ chemical foaming processes, which inevitably involve the use of chemical additives during production. The materials themselves may have residual odors and are difficult to recycle efficiently, which is not conducive to responding to increasingly stringent environmental policies and the concept of green manufacturing. Second: Existing one-piece molded knee pads have a relatively simple structure, and their protective function mainly relies on the overall cushioning effect, lacking differentiated and refined protective designs for different knee areas. In actual exercise, the types and distribution of external forces experienced by different parts of the knee vary. For example, the patella is easily subjected to direct impact, while the sides of the knee joint face lateral and torsional stresses. A single structure cannot comprehensively address the targeted protection needs of each part, and the overall protective performance needs further improvement. Third: There is still room for improvement in the durability and tear resistance of existing knee pads. Although EVA foam material has basic flexibility and cushioning effect, under long-term, high-intensity use, the internal structure of the material is prone to micro-cracks, which can lead to tearing and damage, affecting the service life and protective reliability of the knee pad, and failing to fully meet the protection needs of high-frequency, high-intensity sports scenarios.

[0006] In summary, existing knee brace products have made some technological progress in improving wearing comfort, basic protection, and breathability. However, facing increasingly diverse and complex usage needs, there is still room for further technological improvement in areas such as material environmental friendliness, structural multifunctionality, environmental adaptability, durability, tear resistance, and synergistic optimization of breathability and sweat-wicking. Therefore, how to develop high-performance knee braces with better overall performance and wider applicability to better meet the development needs of the sports protection field remains an ongoing technical problem that those skilled in the art must solve. Utility Model Content

[0007] This application aims to address the technical problems of existing knee brace products, such as simple structure, insufficient local protection, and lack of overall comfort and durability. It provides a protective gear with an elastic protective structure, which utilizes a one-piece molded plate structure and multiple protruding structures made of supercritical physical foaming material, combined with an interlaced groove design, to form a three-dimensional cushioning system with balanced structure, independent zones, and dynamic adaptation. The overall structure is lightweight and durable, with excellent cushioning and energy absorption, impact resistance, environmental friendliness, comfort, and multi-directional adaptability. It is widely applicable to comprehensive protection applications for key parts of the human body such as knee braces, elbow braces, and wrist braces.

[0008] In view of this, the present invention provides a protective gear with an elastic protective structure, comprising a protective gear body, an elastic protective structure disposed on the protective gear body, and a connecting organization for connecting the protective gear body and the elastic protective structure, wherein the elastic protective structure comprises: The board structure is designed to conform to the shape of the knee as it bends, providing support and overall cushioning for the knee. The protruding unit includes multiple protruding structures, which are disposed on the plate structure and arranged to protrude outwards; A spacer groove is disposed between two adjacent protruding structures to separate the protruding structures, wherein at least one spacer groove is arranged in a continuous upward or downward curved arc from the left end to the right end of the plate structure.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the elastic protective structure is integrally fabricated from a supercritical physical foaming material.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this application, each of the protruding structures has a transition arc on the side away from the protective body.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this application, a plurality of the protruding structures are arranged symmetrically along the centerline of the plate structure.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the protruding unit includes a central protective unit located at the center of the plate structure, the central protective unit being symmetrically arranged along at least one centerline of the plate structure, and a plurality of protruding structures being symmetrically arranged along the center of the central protective unit or the centerline.

[0013] According to the claim, a protective garment with an elastic protective structure is characterized in that the projected outline of the protruding structure and / or the central protective unit on the plate structure is one or more combinations of arc, circle, polygon, ellipse, and fan shape.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the plate structure has a recessed structure formed on the back side corresponding to the protruding structure.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the connecting tissue is any one or more combinations of adhesive, suture, or thermo-pressed connecting structures.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the resilient protective structure is sewn onto the outer surface of the protective gear body.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the protective gear with an elastic protective structure described in this utility model has the following advantages: (1) This application uses supercritical physical foaming material to integrally form the plate structure and raised structure of the protective gear, which effectively avoids the structural weakness caused by traditional splicing process. The supercritical physical foaming material has a uniformly distributed closed-cell structure, high strength, tear resistance, good elasticity and energy absorption effect. The overall structure is lightweight and environmentally friendly. The product has no odor and no harmful residue. Combined with a reasonable ergonomic design, the protective gear can fit closely to the body protection parts, avoid local compression discomfort, and improve the overall wearing experience and dynamic adaptability. The internal closed-cell non-absorbent structure ensures that the product can still maintain its lightweight and functional stability in humid or complex environments. The overall product has a long service life, high reliability, and meets the high-efficiency protection needs of various sports or working environments.

[0018] (2) By setting multiple independent buffer units that protrude outwards and reasonably arranged interval slots, the overall protective gear has a three-dimensional partition buffer structure. The multiple protruding structures can preferentially undergo elastic deformation when subjected to external impact, compression or friction, absorb and disperse external forces, and avoid concentrated transmission to key parts of the human body. The interval slot structure effectively enhances the overall flexibility and deformation capacity. At least one continuously curved arc-shaped interval slot optimizes the overall stress distribution path and improves the multi-directional dynamic adaptability. Combined with the special buffer of the central protective unit and the combination design of various contour shapes, the overall protective gear structure has a rich sense of layering, is beautiful and generous, and has excellent dynamic buffering performance. It can effectively protect key areas such as the knees, elbows, wrists and calves of the human body, and also improve the comfort and aesthetics of the product. It is widely applicable to different types and intensities of sports protection scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figures 1-7As shown, this application discloses a protective gear with an elastic protective structure, including a protective gear body 100, an elastic protective structure 200 disposed on the protective gear body 100, and a connecting organization 300 for connecting the protective gear body 100 and the elastic protective structure 200, wherein the elastic protective structure 200 includes: Plate structure 1 is used for fixed connection with the protective gear body 100; The protruding unit 5 includes multiple protruding structures 3, which are disposed on the plate structure 1 and protrude outwards. A spacer groove 4 is disposed between two adjacent protrusions 3 to separate the protrusions 3. At least one spacer groove 4 is arranged in a continuous upward or downward curved arc from the left end to the right end of the plate structure 1.

[0025] This application discloses a protective gear with an elastic protective structure, comprising a protective gear body 100, an elastic protective structure 200 disposed on the protective gear body, and a connecting organization 300 for reliably connecting the protective gear body 100 and the elastic protective structure 200. The plate structure 1 adopts an ergonomically designed plate contour, with its shape optimized according to the usage location to ensure overall fit and structural stability. The plate structure 1 is firmly connected to the protective gear body 100 through the connecting organization 300, enhancing the overall strength of the protective gear. Multiple protruding structures 3 are provided on the outer surface of the plate structure 1, each protruding outwards to form a three-dimensional buffer zone, possessing good external impact resistance. During external impact or pressure, it is able to first contact the external force source, dispersing the impact and mitigating the transmission of external force. To enhance protective performance, a spacer groove 4 is provided between adjacent raised structures 3. The design of the spacer groove 4 ensures that each raised structure 3 remains relatively independent, enhancing the flexibility and deformation adaptability of the overall structure. At least one continuously curved arc-shaped spacer groove 4 extends laterally along the plate structure, with an upward or downward arc direction, optimizing the stress distribution of the overall structure and improving multi-directional dynamic adaptability. The overall structure is stably connected to the protective gear body 100 through the connecting tissue 300, possessing good flexibility and deformation adaptability under movement or stress. It can dynamically deform and fit with the human body's movements, avoiding local hard compression or displacement. The overall structure works synergistically, is reliable, easy to wear, and suitable for use in various sports environments. It is widely used in protective products such as knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, and calf guards.

[0026] This application utilizes an elastic protective structure with a combination of protruding structures 3 and spacer slots 4 on the outer side of the protective gear body. The overall structural design is scientific and reasonable, effectively solving the problems of traditional protective gear having a simple structure, poor cushioning effect, and poor wearing comfort. Multiple protruding structures 3 are distributed on the outer side of the plate structure 1. Through the three-dimensional layout of protruding outwards, the overall impact resistance of the protective gear is improved when facing external impacts, compression, and friction. When subjected to external forces, the protruding structures 3 can preferentially absorb some impact energy through their own elastic deformation, avoiding the external force from being concentrated on the protected parts of the human body (such as the knees, elbows, wrists, calves, upper arms, etc.). The spacer slots are reasonably designed to form independent deformation zones. The overall structure has good flexibility and dynamic adaptability, and can dynamically deform with human movement or external force conditions, avoiding the protective gear's stiff structure from affecting the comfort and protective effect.

[0027] As a preferred example of this application, the plate structure 1 and the raised structure 3 are integrally prepared from supercritical physical foaming material. In the example of this application, the elastic protective structure 200 is integrally prepared from supercritical physical foaming material. The supercritical physical foaming material is formed by processing under conditions close to or exceeding the material's critical temperature and critical pressure. It has a uniform and dense internal structure, a high closed-cell rate, and a stable distribution. The foaming process uses physical gas foaming to avoid chemical residues. The overall structure is integrally formed, with no obvious interfaces or splicing gaps at the connection points. The overall structure has high strength and good stability. The shape of the plate structure 1 conforms to the contour of the human protective structure, providing good fit and basic support. The multiple raised structures 3, in conjunction with the designed partition layout and spacing grooves 4, make the overall protective structure complete and unified, with functional areas working in synergy. It has excellent buffering and energy absorption capacity, tear resistance, and dynamic deformation adaptability. The supercritical physical foaming material has no chemical additive residues, making the product environmentally friendly, lightweight, and durable, suitable for protection needs in various high-intensity sports and complex environments.

[0028] The protective gear with an elastic protective structure described in this application is manufactured using a polyolefin elastomer-SEBS elastomer formula to integrally prepare the elastic protective structure 200. The formula is pure, employing a purely physical foaming process. Nitrogen from the air and carbon dioxide collected from industrial waste gas are used as foaming agents to form numerous micro-nano-level pores within the material. Compared to traditional chemical foaming processes, this method does not use chemical foaming agents or cross-linking agents. The product is odorless, free of formamide and other toxic and harmful residues, 100% safe for skin contact, and possesses excellent energy absorption properties and wearing flexibility. This application utilizes a knee brace manufactured using supercritical physical foaming material in a single piece, significantly improving the overall protective performance and durability of the protective gear. Compared to traditional chemical foaming materials, supercritical physical foaming material has a more uniform and dense internal structure with a high closed-cell rate, resulting in stronger cushioning and energy absorption capacity and tear resistance. The overall structure is lightweight and environmentally friendly, the material itself is odorless and recyclable, and the manufacturing process is green and environmentally friendly, avoiding odor or skin irritation caused by chemical residues. The integrated molding of the structure eliminates weak points in the splicing, improving the overall structural strength and stability. The internal closed-cell structure does not absorb water, preventing structural weight increase or bacterial growth caused by humid environments. Combined with excellent heat and cold resistance, it ensures stable operation of the protective gear in high-temperature, low-temperature, or complex environments. The overall product is lightweight, durable, and comfortable to wear, meeting the high-performance protection needs of various intensities and environments.

[0029] As a preferred example of this application, each of the protruding structures 3 has a transition arc on the side away from the protective body 100. This application further specifies that each protruding structure 3 disposed on the outer periphery of the elastic protective structure 200 has a transition arc on the side away from the protective body 100. The transition arc has a smooth, rounded surface structure, and the arc transition area naturally connects the top and side of the protruding structure 3, avoiding the formation of sharp corners or abrupt structures. Combined with the dynamic contact characteristics of the knee joint's frequent flexion and extension and the soft tissues on the knee surface during actual use of the knee brace, this effectively improves the adaptability of the protruding structure 3 in contact with human skin and surrounding tissues, ensuring that the knee brace and the knee surface always maintain a soft and stable contact state, improving the user's overall wearing experience and activity flexibility. Furthermore, the arc structure reduces the risk of soft tissue damage due to stress concentration by dispersing local pressure, reducing early wear caused by structural friction or material fatigue, and improving the durability and stability of the knee brace product.

[0030] As a preferred example of this application, the plurality of protruding structures 3 are arranged symmetrically along the center line of the plate structure 1. As some preferred examples of this application, such as... Figures 3-7 As shown, multiple raised structures 3 are arranged symmetrically around the center line of the plate structure 1. The center line is designed according to the overall outline of the plate structure 1 and the structural characteristics of the human body protection parts. It is usually set along the longitudinal or transverse direction of the protective gear. Multiple raised structures 3 are symmetrically arranged around the center line. Combined with the ergonomic layout, the whole structure forms a three-dimensional buffer zone structure that is structurally balanced, visually symmetrical, and functionally coordinated. The number, size, shape, and specific distribution of the raised structures are optimized according to the stress characteristics, appearance requirements, and movement habits of the protected parts. Together with the spacer slots 4, they form relatively independent buffer units. The overall layout is beautiful and elegant, with clear functional distinctions. It has excellent buffer energy absorption effect and good dynamic adaptability, further improving the comprehensive protective performance and wearing comfort of the protective gear.

[0031] In some examples of this application, the protruding unit 5 includes a central protective unit 2 located at the center of the plate structure 1, the central protective unit 2 being symmetrically arranged along at least one centerline of the plate structure 1, and a plurality of protruding structures 3 being symmetrically arranged along the center of the central protective unit 2 or the centerline. As some preferred examples of this application, such as... Figures 3-5 As shown, the protruding unit 5 includes a central protective unit 2 located at the center of the plate structure 1. The central protective unit 2 is symmetrically arranged along at least one center line of the plate structure 1. Multiple protruding structures 3 are arranged around the central protective unit. The overall layout is based on the central protective unit 2 as the reference axis. Multiple protruding structures 3 are symmetrically arranged along the center or both sides of the center line. The specific shape, quantity and position are optimized according to the structural characteristics and force distribution of the human body protection parts. The central protective unit is preferentially corresponding to the important force-bearing areas or impact-prone areas of the human body to provide special buffer protection. Multiple symmetrically distributed protruding structures 3, together with the spacer slots 4, form a reasonable partitioned buffer system. The overall layout is compact and visually appealing, with good three-dimensional buffer effect and dynamic adaptability, further enhancing the stability and protective performance of the protective gear, and improving the comfort and aesthetic design of the user.

[0032] In some examples of this application, the central protective unit 2 has a circular or elliptical outward protruding structure, corresponding to the patellar region of the knee. In the examples of this application, the central protective unit 2 is further defined as a circular or elliptical outward protruding structure. This protruding structure has an overall curved contour that conforms to the physiological shape of the patellar region of the human knee. When wearing the knee brace described in this application, the circular or elliptical outward protruding structure of the central protective unit 2 naturally conforms to the patellar region of the human knee. During knee flexion and extension movements, the central protective unit 2 dynamically deforms with the shape of the knee, maintaining a flexible fit and continuous support for the patella. Under external impact, the protruding structure deforms through its own shape... The system absorbs some of the impact force and distributes it evenly to the surrounding area, avoiding the concentration of impact force on a single point on the patella. This reduces the risk of damage to the patella due to localized stress concentration. In addition to providing cushioning, the outward-protruding structure also has a certain guiding and limiting function, which can moderately restrict abnormal patellar movement under intense knee movement or external force, guiding the knee joint to maintain its normal physiological movement trajectory. The overall structure, together with the multiple protruding structures 3 and the spacer grooves 4 on the periphery, forms a three-dimensional zoned cushioning and protection system, which synergistically enhances the overall protective effect and structural stability of the knee brace.

[0033] As a preferred example of this application, such as Figure 1As shown in Figure 2, the central protective unit 2 is located in the middle of the plate structure 1 near the bottom, and a multi-layer protruding structure 3 is provided above the central protective unit 2, and at least one layer of protruding structure 3 is provided below the central protective unit 2. This application further optimizes the placement of the central protective unit 2, positioning it in the lower center of the plate structure to precisely align with the patellar region in the center of the knee. Simultaneously, multiple layers of raised structures 3 are arranged above the central protective unit 2, with these structures arranged in a tiered vertical layout. During movement or stress, the central protective unit first absorbs the frontal impact, reducing direct pressure on the patellar region. The upper layers of raised structures, through layered elastic deformation, disperse and absorb external forces transmitted from different directions and angles, preventing concentrated impact on the knee joint and creating a tiered buffering effect. At least one layer of raised structures 3 at the bottom, working in conjunction with the overall layout, provides support and cushioning in the area below the knee, enhancing structural stability and stress uniformity below the knee joint. The overall knee brace structure, through its coordinated upper and lower layers and layered buffering design, forms a stable, scientific, and dynamically responsive three-dimensional protective system, effectively addressing the complex stress states of the knee joint under movement, bending, and external impact, ensuring continuous and reliable protection in various sports scenarios.

[0034] As a preferred example of this application, the projected outline of the protruding structure 3 and / or the central protective unit 2 on the plate structure 1 is one or more combinations of arc, circle, polygon, ellipse, and fan shape. In the example of this application, the raised structure 3 and the central protective unit 2 are arranged to protrude away from the human body. In the top view, the projected outline formed by the plate structure 1 is distributed individually or in combination with other shapes, such as arc, circle, polygon, ellipse, and fan. Various shapes can exist alone or be combined in combination. Each raised structure 3, or the raised structure 3 and the central protective unit 2, are separated by a spacer slot 4 to form a relatively independent buffer unit. The diverse contour design is optimized according to the physiological curvature, force distribution and movement trajectory of the knee of the human body protective structure. Through the organic combination of different contour structures, the three-dimensional structure layering, dynamic buffering performance and multi-angle adaptability of the outer side of the knee brace are improved as a whole. This ensures that the knee brace has more comprehensive buffering, shock absorption and impact dispersion functions while maintaining good fit, which enhances the wearing comfort and the comprehensive protection effect of the knee joint. At the same time, the overall structure has a beautiful appearance and rich layers. The product design is flexible and meets different usage needs and personalized customization, further improving the comprehensive practical performance and market competitiveness of the knee brace.

[0035] As a preferred example of this application, the spacing groove 4 includes a plurality of first spacing grooves 401 and a plurality of second spacing grooves 402, wherein the first spacing grooves 401 and the second spacing grooves 402 are arranged in a cross shape. In the example of this application, the spacer slot 4 is composed of multiple first spacer slots 401 and multiple second spacer slots 402. The multiple first spacer slots 401 and second spacer slots 402 are arranged to cross each other, and the overall distribution is in a grid-like, staggered, or other geometrically intersecting structure. The number, direction, width, and depth of the first spacer slots 401 and second spacer slots 402 can be flexibly adjusted according to the stress requirements, structural dimensions, and functional layout of the specific protected parts. In a preferred case, the first spacer slots 401 are arranged along the longitudinal or transverse direction of the plate structure 1, and the second spacer slots 402 are arranged at a certain angle to the first spacer slots 401. The two sets of spacer slots together reasonably divide the multiple protruding structures 3 into relatively independent buffer units. The overall structural layout is regular and rich in layers, with good flexibility, dynamic adaptability, and three-dimensional buffer partitioning effect, further enhancing the overall protective capability, structural stability, and wearing comfort of the protective gear, and improving the functionality and aesthetics of the product.

[0036] As a preferred example of this application, the plate structure 1 has a recessed structure on the back of the corresponding plurality of protruding structures 3. The recessed structure has a partially outward concave shape and is arranged in a front-back direction corresponding to the protruding structures 3. The depth and size parameters of the recessed structure are optimized according to the shape of the knee and the characteristics of human movement. The overall structure layout is reasonable. The protruding structures 3 are responsible for outer protection and cushioning, while the recessed structure on the back enhances the flexibility and dynamic adaptability of the knee brace through local deformation. The presence of the recessed structure effectively improves the overall deformation ability of the knee brace, so that the knee brace can better dynamically fit the knee shape changes during knee joint movement. With the synergistic effect of the front and back structures, the overall structure design is reasonable, the appearance is beautiful, the weight is light, the fatigue of use is reduced, and the wearing comfort is improved.

[0037] As a preferred example of this application, the connecting organization 300 is any one or more combinations of adhesive, stitching, or thermocompression connection structures. In the example of this application, the connecting organization 300 is used to reliably connect the protective body 100 and the elastic protective structure 200. The connecting organization 300 includes any one or more combinations of adhesive, stitching, or thermocompression connection structures. The specific connection method is flexibly selected according to the material characteristics, structural layout, and actual usage requirements of the protective body 100 and the elastic protective structure 200. The adhesive structure uses a high-performance adhesive to smoothly bond different components. The stitching structure uses high-strength stitches to penetrate the connection part to form a stable mechanical connection. The thermocompression connection structure uses heating and pressure to fuse or deform the materials at the connection part, forming a dense and firm bond. The three methods can be used individually or in combination to ensure the stability of the overall structure, meet different process conditions and usage requirements, improve the strength of the knee brace structure, wearing comfort, and production efficiency, and ensure the reliability and durability of the knee brace product in various sports scenarios. As a preferred example of this application, the elastic protective structure 200 is sewn onto the outer surface of the protective body 100.

[0038] This application discloses a protective gear with an elastic protective structure. The protective gear body 100 is constructed with a single-piece plate structure 1 made of supercritical physical foaming material and multiple protruding structures 3 on its outer side, combined with a rationally arranged spacing groove 4. The overall structure possesses excellent lightweight, energy absorption, impact resistance, and dynamic adaptability. The multiple protruding structures 3 form independent buffer units through their outward-facing arrangement, which can preferentially absorb and disperse external forces when subjected to external impacts, compression, or friction, preventing concentrated transmission to the protected parts of the body. The spacing grooves 4 separate the buffer units, improving overall flexibility and structural stability. At least one continuously curved arc-shaped spacing groove 4 further optimizes the overall force path and enhances multi-directional deformation adaptability. Combined with the specialized protection of the central protective unit and various contour shape combinations, the protective gear has a strong sense of layering, is visually appealing, and exhibits excellent dynamic buffering performance. It can conform to different protected parts of the body, significantly improving wearing comfort and overall protective effect. The overall material is green, environmentally friendly, odorless, durable, and reliable, suitable for human protection needs in various intensities and environments, and particularly suitable for applications in various types of protective products such as knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards.
