[0025] Examples Conventional commercially available waist protection belts have a single function in actual use and cannot meet the physical therapy needs of reducing swelling with cold compresses or providing relief with warm compresses on areas that receive core force such as the waist. Similarly, they have difficulty adapting to the diverse care needs of users in different scenarios such as recovery from sports injuries and relief of daily waist fatigue. The inventors propose a modular, detachable waist care belt, which uses a multi-modular, detachable, and freely combinable design as a whole. Users can select different physical therapy modules and use them in combination with the belt according to their actual needs, thereby providing fixation to the user's waist while simultaneously achieving localized physical therapy effects and realizing the diversification of waist protection belt functions. The specific implementation plan is as follows.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the present invention discloses a waist care belt comprising a waist protection belt 2, a support plate 1, and a waist care unit. Herein, in order to quickly adapt to the support needs of users with different waist sizes, the waist protection belt 2 uses a bidirectional pulley adjustable waist protection belt 2. The bidirectional pulley adjustable structural design of the waist protection belt 2 uses the same design as published patent technology CN2018205760724, so the specific structural design of the waist protection belt 2 will not be described in further detail. Furthermore, the support plate 1 uses a bionic arc shape to better fit the waist curve, and the entire support plate 1 uses a rigid plate structure, and the plate body of the support plate 1 has a plurality of cut-out through holes 103. The plurality of cut-out through holes 103 are distributed symmetrically and uniformly along the center of the support plate 1 to improve the breathability of the support plate 1, reduce the weight of the support plate 1, and further enhance the comfort when wearing the waist protection belt 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, belt locking slots 101 for attaching a waist protection belt 2 are provided on both sides of the support plate 1. An integral molding design is used between the belt locking slots 101 and the support plate 1. As shown in Figures 1, 2, 4, and 5, the belt locking slots 101 use one of the following: a T-shaped locking groove, an H-shaped locking groove 101a, and an I-shaped locking groove 101b. On the inside of the waist protection belt 2, near both sides of the back surface of the support plate 1, there are fixing straps 201 for engaging with the belt locking slots 101. The fixing straps 201 use a wide, flat, elongated non-elastic webbing design, such as nylon webbing, polyester webbing, or carbon fiber webbing. Here, the width of the fixing straps 201 is matched to the width of the belt locking slots 101 in order to facilitate more stable engagement between the fixing straps 201 and the belt locking slots 101.

[0028] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, in this embodiment, in order to achieve the effect of diversifying the functions of the waist protection belt 2, a detachable assembly connection is used between multiple waist care units and the support plate 1. An electrode control switch 202 and an electrode power interface 204 are provided on the front and back of one side of the waist protection belt 2, respectively. The electrode control switch 202 and the electrode power interface 204 are connected by a wire 203. Furthermore, a pocket for storing the power supply is provided on the front of the waist protection belt 2 on the same side as the electrode control switch 202. A power cord is provided in this pocket, with its end connected to the power supply, and the end of the power cord is connected to the electrode control switch 202.

[0029] As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, in order to enable rapid assembly between each waist care unit and the support plate 1, hook-and-loop fasteners 102 are fixed to both sides and the middle of the front of the support plate 1.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 11, in this embodiment, in order to realize the application needs of a multi-module free combination of the entire waist protection belt 2 in accordance with the design of the support plate 1, there are multiple waist care units, which are the first detachable care module 3, the second detachable care module 4, and the third detachable care module 5. The user selects the waist care unit according to their usage needs to adapt to the waist physiotherapy needs in different application scenarios and assembles and combines it with the support plate 1.

The first detachable care module 3 comprises a support pad 301 and a hot and cold physiotherapy pack 302. The body of the hot and cold physiotherapy pack 302 is a flexible sealed bag filled with a phase change medium. The back surface of the support pad 301 has a first hook-and-loop fastener female surface 303 fixed to it for engaging with the hook-and-loop fastener male surface 102 on the front of the support plate 1. The device is designed to be detachable by the engagement of the first hook-and-loop fastener female surface 303 with the hook-and-loop fastener male surface 102 on the support plate 1. Furthermore, to facilitate the effective combination between the hot and cold physiotherapy pack 302 and the support pad 301, a storage pocket 304 is provided on the inside of the support pad 301. When using the hot and cold physiotherapy module, the hot and cold physiotherapy pack 302 is pre-cooled or pre-heated as needed, then placed in the storage pocket 304 for use, or applied directly to areas such as the lower back or shoulders and neck.

[0032] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the assembly connection between the support pad 301 and the support plate 1 may be achieved by a hook-and-loop method. In order to achieve the hook-and-loop assembly between the support pad 301 and the support plate 1, the difference between the second form of the support pad 301 and the initial form described above is that one first semi-enclosed pocket 305 is sewn to each side of the back surface of the support pad 301, the first hook-and-loop fastener female side 303 on the back surface of the support pad 301 is removed, and the support pad 301 is directly hooked onto the plate edges on both sides of the support plate 1 via the first semi-enclosed pockets 305 installed on both sides of the back surface, thereby achieving the hook-and-loop combination between the support pad 301 and the support plate 1.

The second detachable care module 4 comprises a first flexible base pad 401, on which a plurality of uniformly distributed permanent magnets 402 are embedded on the front surface, and on both sides of the back surface of the first flexible base pad 401, a second semi-enclosed pocket 403 is sutured. When the second detachable care module 4 is selected to perform physical therapy on the user's lumbar region, the second detachable care module 4 is hung on the plate edges on both sides of the support plate 1 via the second semi-enclosed pockets 403 on the back surface of the first flexible base pad 401, thereby enabling the hanging combination assembly between the second detachable care module 4 and the support plate 1.

[0034] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, a detachable adhesive combination can be achieved between the second detachable care module 4 and the support plate 1 by the hook-and-loop fastener male side 102 designed on the front of the support plate 1. In this combination connection method, the second semi-enclosed pocket 403 is removed from the back surface of the first flexible base pad 401, and the second hook-and-loop fastener female side 404 for engaging with the hook-and-loop fastener male side 102 on the front of the support plate 1 is sewn to the back surface of the first flexible base pad 401.

[0035] As shown in Figures 10 and 11, in this embodiment, the third detachable care module 5 is an electrical stimulation physiotherapy module applicable to a scenario for relieving lumbar muscle spasms. The third detachable care module 5 comprises a second flexible base pad 501, and a conductive electrode 502 made of silver fiber material is provided inside the second flexible base pad 501. To realize electrical stimulation physiotherapy, an electrode power supply connection terminal 503 is provided on one side of the back surface of the second flexible base pad 501, where the electrode power supply connection terminal 503 and the conductive electrode 50 The connection between the 2 and the 502 is made by a wire 203, and the connection between the electrode power connection terminal 503 and the electrode power interface 204 on the waist protection belt 2 is made by a conductive adapter wire.
