Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water safety protection equipment technology, and in particular to a buoyancy suit. Background Technology
[0002] In water-based operations, sports, and rescue scenarios, buoyancy suits are crucial equipment for ensuring personnel safety. Traditional buoyancy suits rely on inflation or filling with floating materials to provide buoyancy; however, existing designs have significant shortcomings: their inflation or filling areas are mostly arranged in strips, making it difficult to conform to the complex curves of the human body, such as the chest, waist, and back. Due to the irregular shape of the human torso—the chest is bulging, the waist is concave, and the back has a curved surface—the strip-arranged buoyancy areas are prone to creating local gaps or compression when worn. For example, gaps may appear under the armpits or on the sides of the waist, causing the buoyancy suit to shift; while excessive compression in areas such as the chest and back may cause discomfort. This poor fit not only reduces wearing comfort but also seriously affects the flexibility of limb movements in scenarios requiring agility, such as water rescue and sports, thus creating potential safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a buoyancy garment. By designing the inflatable or filled areas of the buoyancy garment as a block-like structure, it solves the problem of poor fit caused by the strip arrangement of traditional buoyancy garments.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A buoyancy garment includes a buoyancy garment body, wherein the buoyancy garment body has an inflatable or filled area, and the inflatable or filled area is divided into multiple block-shaped structures, each of the block-shaped structures being connected to at least two adjacent block-shaped structures. The blocks can be assembled like modules through multiple areas. Figure 1 Similarly, based on different body curves such as the chest, abdomen, and back, the blocks can fit the user's body more closely than the "linear" support of linear structures.
[0005] Preferably, the buoyancy suit body has an edge strip with a sealing process at its edge, and the buoyancy suit body has multiple dividing strips for dividing multiple blocks. Multiple blocks are formed by the cooperation of the edge strips and the multiple dividing strips. The edge strips and dividing strips are all concave inward. The concave parts of adjacent edge strips and dividing strips can form water flow channels. The edge strips and dividing strips can be treated with a sealing process to ensure the airtightness of each block and further improve the reliability of the buoyancy suit.
[0006] Preferably, the buoyancy garment body has a closed part on the block structure to prevent the block from bulging excessively. The closed part has a certain structural strength, which can effectively limit the inflation range of the corresponding block structure or the fluffy expansion range of the filling material, reduce the hard compression and local pressure on the body's lifting parts, and effectively improve the user's wearing comfort.
[0007] Preferably, the sealed portion has ventilation holes, which makes the buoyancy garment have good breathability.
[0008] Preferably, the sealed portion is treated with a sealing process to prevent the ventilation holes from communicating with the internal cavity of the buoyancy suit. This design ensures breathability while preventing internal gas leakage, achieving a perfect balance between breathability and sealing.
[0009] Preferably, the sealed portion with the vent holes is provided in multiple locations, and is respectively located in the inflatable or filled area of each block structure.
[0010] Preferably, the buoyancy garment body includes a front part and a back part. The front part has at least two parts, and the two front parts are connected by a connecting component. The connecting component can be a zipper when in use to facilitate the wearer's comfort.
[0011] Preferably, the buoyancy suit body is provided with an adjustable connector for connecting the front part and the back part together. The connector is located on the side of the buoyancy suit body and can be composed of an adjustment buckle and a strap when in use. The length of the strap can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment buckle, and the tightness between the front part and the back part can be adjusted so that the buoyancy suit can fit wearers of different body types and improve fit.
[0012] Preferably, the buoyancy suit body is provided with an inflation channel, which is connected to the inflation chamber of each block structure to achieve synchronous inflation of multiple blocks.
[0013] Preferably, the buoyancy suit body is provided with an inflation component connected to an inflation pipe, and the buoyancy suit body is provided with at least one inflation component connected to an inflation pipe. Through the inflation component and the inflation channel, the user can quickly and conveniently inflate the buoyancy suit.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention divides the inflatable or filled area of the buoyancy garment into multiple block-like structures. Each block can fit the different body curves such as the chest, abdomen, and back like a modular jigsaw puzzle. Compared with the linear support of traditional linear structures, it can fit the body more closely, reducing local gaps or compression. The block-like structure can also reduce the feeling of tightness in areas such as the armpits and waist, making it more comfortable to wear for a long time. It is equipped with breathable components with ventilation holes to ensure that the buoyancy garment has good breathability. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be used in other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0020] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of this utility model, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or position based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the purpose of simplifying the description of this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0021] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number. Example
[0022] Please see Figure 1-2 The buoyancy garment in this embodiment is an inflatable type, including a buoyancy garment body 1. The buoyancy garment body 1 is composed of a front part 11 and a back part 12. The front part 11 is divided into two parts, which are connected by a zipper as a connecting component 7 to facilitate the wearer to put on and take off the buoyancy garment. The buoyancy garment body 1 has an inflatable or filled area, and the inflatable or filled area is divided into multiple block-shaped structures. Each block-shaped structure is connected to at least two adjacent block-shaped structures.
[0023] An edge strip 2 is provided at the edge of the buoyancy suit body 1. The edge strip 2 can be sealed by ultrasonic welding, hot pressing, and glue bonding to ensure the airtightness of the edge. Multiple partition strips 3 are distributed on the buoyancy suit body 1. The partition strips 3 can also be sealed by ultrasonic welding, hot pressing, and glue bonding. Together with the edge strips 2, they divide the inflatable area of the buoyancy suit body 1 into multiple block-shaped structures. After sealing, both the edge strips 2 and the partition strips 3 have an inwardly concave structure to form a channel similar to a guide groove. The concave parts of adjacent edge strips 2 and partition strips 3 cooperate to form a water flow channel. The water flow channel can better guide the water flow, so that the water flow on the buoyancy suit and between the buoyancy suit and the human body can be better guided away. In addition, the concave channel can also effectively reduce the water flow resistance by guiding the water flow smoothly along the curved surface.
[0024] The buoyancy suit body 1 has sealed sections 4 on its block-shaped structures to prevent excessive bulging of the sections. These sealed sections 4 are equipped with ventilation holes 5. The sealed sections 4 are sealed using processes such as ultrasonic welding, hot-press sealing, and adhesive bonding to ensure that the ventilation holes 5 do not communicate with the internal chambers of the buoyancy suit. This achieves ventilation while preventing gas leakage. Multiple sealed sections 4 with ventilation holes 5 are provided and are located in the inflation or filling areas of each block-shaped structure. The sealed sections 4 possess a certain structural strength, effectively limiting the inflation expansion of the corresponding block-shaped structure or the expansion of the filling material, reducing hard compression and localized pressure on the body's support areas, and effectively improving user comfort. Simultaneously, the limiting effect of the sealed sections 4 on expansion ensures that each block maintains a stable shape that conforms to the body's curves, preventing a decrease in fit due to excessive expansion and ensuring that buoyancy is evenly distributed across key body parts.
[0025] An adjustable connector 6 is provided on the side of the buoyancy suit body 1. The connector 6 can be an adjustment buckle and a strap when in use. By adjusting the adjustment buckle, the length of the strap can be adjusted, and the tightness between the front part 11 and the back part 12 can be adjusted so that the buoyancy suit can fit wearers of different body types and improve the fit.
[0026] The buoyancy suit body 1 is equipped with an inflation channel, which is located on the buoyancy suit body 1 and connected to the inflation component. The inflation component can be an air nozzle or other inflation component. The inflation channel is connected to the inflation chambers of each block-shaped structure. When the buoyancy suit needs to be inflated, the inflation device is connected to the inflation component. The gas enters multiple inflation chambers through the inflation channel, thereby realizing the inflation of multiple blocks. There can be two inflation components, both of which are connected to the inflation channel. When one inflation component is damaged and cannot be inflated, it can be inflated through the other inflation component without affecting the use of the buoyancy suit. Once inflated, the blocks can be assembled from multiple areas, much like modular construction. Figure 1 Similarly, based on different body curves such as the chest, abdomen, and back, the blocks can fit the user's body more closely than the linear support of the linear structure. When the strip is inflated / filled, the force is concentrated in the long strip area, which can easily cause a feeling of tightness in certain parts of the body (such as the armpits and sides). The blocks distribute the buoyancy to multiple areas, making it more comfortable to wear for a long time. Example
[0027] The buoyancy suit in this embodiment is a filled type, and its basic structure is similar to that of the inflatable buoyancy suit in Embodiment 1. It includes a buoyancy suit body 1, a front component 11, a back component 12, an edge strip 2, a separator strip 3, a breathable component, a connecting component 7, and a connector 6, etc.
[0028] The difference is that the filling area of the buoyancy suit body 1 is divided into multiple blocks by the edge strips 2 and the divider strips 3. Each block is filled with floating material, such as EPE pearl cotton, foam plastic, etc. After filling, the position of the filling is fixed by the sealing treatment of the edge strips 2 and the divider strips 3 to prevent it from shifting or falling off.
[0029] The padded buoyancy suit also features breathable components and an adjustable connection structure, providing wearers with good breathability and a comfortable wearing experience, while adapting to different body types.
[0030] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
