Although the brace can share the pressure borne by the human body, since the layers are stacked in a completely corresponding manner, its overall bending performance is poor and it cannot smoothly follow the swing of the human limbs to stretch. In addition, the effect and area of ​​vibration transmission on the brace are limited. It is necessary to set vibration devices at multiple positions on the brace to evenly resonate the wearer's body parts and share the force. In summary, it is necessary to provide a protective gear that can improve the body's stretching performance and evenly share the load at various positions of the wearer's body parts.

[0029] To make the above and / or other purposes, effects, and features of the present invention more clearly understood, a preferred embodiment is described in detail below:

[0030] The first embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0031] The present invention aims to provide a fish-scale human body vibration support brace 1, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, comprising: a sheet 2; a fixing member 3, one end of which is disposed on the sheet 2 and the other end of which is selectively connected to the sheet 2 to define a receiving space 4 between the sheet 2 and the sheet 2 for receiving a human body part; and a plurality of scales 5, which are arranged in sequence and spaced apart from each other from one end of the sheet 2 to the other end on the side of the sheet 2 that contacts the receiving space 4, so as to selectively contact the human body part, wherein: one end of each scale 5 is disposed on the sheet 2 and can be selectively bent relative to the sheet 2 to partially overlap with an adjacent scale 5. In a preferred embodiment, the fixing member 3 can contact the corresponding two ends of the sheet 2, or can be connected to the middle portion of the sheet 2 after passing around the human body part from the middle portion of the sheet 2, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the fastener 3 and the sheet 2 may be connected by, but are not limited to, magnets, buckles, zippers, Velcro, or buttons. In another preferred embodiment, to avoid joint compression and reduce stress during limb movement, as shown in FIG2 , the fastener 3 further includes a through-hole 11 extending from the side of the sheet 2 opposite the scale 5 to the side of the scale 5 opposite the sheet 2. The through-hole 11 is arranged to correspond to a human body part, allowing a human body part to be placed through the through-hole 11. It is understood that the human body part includes, but is not limited to, an elbow, a knee, or a heel. In another preferred embodiment, to allow the body part to stretch or bend freely when wearing the protective gear 1, as shown in FIG3 , the protective gear 1 is stretchable and elastic. Specifically, when the body part is subjected to pressure, causing the protective gear 1 to bend, the protective gear 1 can apply a force opposite to the direction of the force applied to the body part to offset the downward pressure from the body weight or the tension borne by the muscles and ligaments, and store it as elastic potential energy. Furthermore, when the protective gear 1 is bent and needs to be restored, the scales 5 or the sheet 2 can release the elastic potential energy to restore the body part together. Therefore, it can be understood that the protective gear 1 can greatly reduce the pressure on the body's muscles, bones, or tissues during movement, thereby preventing sports injuries. In another preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG4 , the protective gear 1 can be a vest, correspondingly covering the back, abdomen, or chest of the body. Specifically, the human body parts include: arches, ankles, knees, wrists, elbows, waist, hindquarters, head, back, chest, calves, thighs, arms, or neck, but are not limited thereto, as long as the scales 5 are worn at a position corresponding to the human body part to be decompressed or resonated. It can be understood that the fish scale human body vibration support protector 1 is provided corresponding to the human body part, and its types include: arch protectors, ankle protectors, knee protectors, wrist protectors, elbow protectors, vests, straps, or rings, but are not limited thereto.

[0032] More preferably, in order to stably maintain the relative positions of the scales 5, when the protective gear 1 is bent and the scales 5 are bent together, sufficient elastic potential energy can be stored; a better balance is achieved between maintaining the support and bending performance of the protective gear 1; the thickness of the overall protective gear 1 is controlled to avoid affecting the breathability and comfort; or the effect of the protective gear 1 in relieving limb pressure is enhanced, as shown in Figure 5, wherein each of the scales 5 and the sheet body 2 is defined by a V-shaped space 6, and the opening direction of each V-shaped space 6 is the same, wherein: when the two adjacent scales 5 are parallel to each other, the two adjacent V-shaped spaces 6 intersect with each other, and the volume of the intersection accounts for at least 15% of the total volume of the V-shaped space 6. It is understood that when the volume of the intersection accounts for less than 15% of the total volume of the V-shaped space 6, the friction between the scales 5 will be too low to effectively transmit vibrations; and when the volume of the intersection accounts for more than 85% of the total volume of the V-shaped space 6, the friction between the scales 5 will be too high. In both cases, the scales 5 cannot effectively transmit vibration energy, resulting in poor resonance and inability to effectively reduce the pressure on the limb. In a preferred embodiment, in order for the scales 5 to effectively transmit vibrations, the volume of the intersection accounts for 20 to 30% of the total volume of the V-shaped space 6, more preferably 25%, but not limited to this.

[0033] More preferably, to massage a human body part or generate resonance between the scales 5 to enhance the effect of relieving limb stress, as shown in Figure 2, the device further includes a vibration device 7 detachably mounted on the sheet 2 to selectively vibrate the scales 5. Specifically, the vibration device 7 includes a vibration motor, which can be selectively installed in any position. Regardless of its location, the vibration can be uniformly transmitted through the scales 5 to the covered human body part. In a preferred embodiment, to allow the wearer to simultaneously apply ice or heat to the body part as needed to accelerate the recovery of wounds or redness and swelling, the device further includes a temperature control device 8 disposed within the sheet 2 to selectively increase or decrease the temperature of the body part. In another preferred embodiment, when a person is wearing clothing, the scales 5 can transmit vibrations to the person's skin and muscles through the clothing. However, to prevent the scales 5 from rubbing against the skin during vibration when contacting unclothed parts of the body, which could cause discomfort, as shown in FIG6 , the scales 5 further include a protective layer 9 disposed on the side of the sheet 2 that contacts the accommodating space 4 and defines an internal space 10 between the sheet 2 and the sheet 2, wherein the scales 5 are accommodated in the internal space 10. It is understood that to maintain the decompression effect of the scales 5, the scales 5 are not connected to the protective layer 9 so that they can bend or move relative to the protective layer 9. In another preferred embodiment, to enhance wearing comfort, increase breathability, or facilitate wearing of the protective gear 1 on the heels, knees, elbows, or other parts of the body, the protective gear 1 further comprises: through-holes 11 respectively provided on the sheet 2 and the scales 5 to connect the corresponding sides of the sheet 2 and the scales 5, wherein the human body part can selectively pass through the through-holes 11 from the accommodating space 4 to the other side of the sheet 2. It is understood that the positions of the through-holes 11 can be aligned with the center of gravity of the protective gear 1 to maintain balance when worn.

[0034] More preferably, the fish-scale human body vibration support brace 1 of the present invention provides sufficient shock absorption during exercise or stretching, and can reduce stress on the body's joints and muscles. Therefore, it is sufficient for daily use, and the user can choose whether to activate the vibration device 7 or control the intensity of the vibration device 7 based on their physical strength. However, if the user suddenly engages in intense exercise, such as to dodge or step on air, resulting in a sudden physical strain, the vibration intensity can be immediately activated according to the current physical strain to relieve muscle fatigue or alleviate pain. As shown in FIG7 , the support brace further includes a bending sensing device 14 disposed on the sheet 2 at a distance from the vibration device 7 and correspondingly connected to the vibration device 7 for detecting the bending amplitude of the scale 5. When the bending amplitude exceeds a predetermined curvature, the bending sensing device 14 transmits an activation signal to the vibration device 7, causing the vibration device 7 and the scale 5 to vibrate. Furthermore, the greater the difference between the bending amplitude and the predetermined curvature, the stronger the vibration intensity.

[0035] More preferably, in order to maintain the weight of the scale 5 while ensuring that it has a certain structural strength and elasticity, the thickness of the scale 5 is 1 to 5 mm, preferably less than 2 mm. In a preferred embodiment, in order to provide a moderate friction coefficient so that the human limbs can naturally extend or contract, the material of the scale 5 includes: polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), glass fiber, carbon fiber, epoxy resin, polycarbonate (PC), urethane resin, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyimide (PI), triacetyl cellulose (TAC), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), or polyamide (PA), or ultra-thin tough metal sheet, but is not limited thereto.

[0036] More preferably, in order to make the scales 5 resonate with each other so as to provide better decompression, unloading, or supporting effects on the human body parts, and at the same time, timing can be performed to remind the user whether he has exercised too much, or remind the user when to take medicine; provide corresponding vibration intensity according to the bending amplitude of the human limbs to avoid sports injuries caused by bad posture, excessive stretching or bending intensity; remind the user whether the distance between the user and the roadblock is too close and there is a risk of collision; remind bystanders, medical staff, or relatives and friends whether the user has fallen and provide them with help in time; or judge whether the ambient temperature is too low to cause the limbs to be injured. Vibrate and maintain human body temperature to prevent the user from catching a cold or hypothermia, as shown in FIG7 , which further includes: a vibration device 7, which is disposed on the sheet 2 to selectively vibrate the scale 5 with a vibration intensity; and a processing device 12, which is disposed on the sheet 2 at a distance from the vibration device 7 and is correspondingly connected to the vibration device 7, wherein the processing device 12 includes: a timing device 13, which is used to preset a timing period and transmit a start signal to the vibration device 7 after the timing period ends, so that the vibration device 7 and the scale 5 vibrate; a bending sensing device 14, which is used to detect the bending amplitude of the scale 5, wherein: When the bending amplitude is greater than the default curvature, the bending sensing device 14 transmits a start signal to the vibration device 7, causing the vibration device 7 to vibrate together with the scale 5, and the greater the difference between the bending amplitude and the default curvature, the stronger the vibration intensity; the roadblock sensing device 15 is used to detect the relative distance between the user and the roadblock, wherein: when the distance between the user and the roadblock is less than a preset length, the roadblock sensing device 15 transmits a start signal to the vibration device 7, causing the vibration device 7 to vibrate together with the scale 5, and the greater the difference between the relative distance and the preset length, the stronger the vibration intensity; the tipping sensing device 16, It is used to detect the center of gravity of the user, wherein: when the center of gravity is lower than the default height, the tipping sensing device 16 will transmit a start signal to the vibration device 7, causing the vibration device 7 to vibrate together with the scale 5, and, when the difference between the center of gravity and the default height is greater, the vibration intensity is stronger; or the body temperature sensing device 17 is used to detect the body temperature value of the user, wherein: when the body temperature value is lower than the default temperature, the body temperature sensing device 17 will transmit a start signal to the vibration device 7, causing the vibration device 7 to vibrate together with the scale 5, and, when the difference between the body temperature value and the default temperature is greater, the vibration intensity is stronger.

[0037] The following describes a specific application scenario of the present invention. In one embodiment, the protective device 1 is a knee brace that covers the human knee. Since the knee bears a load several times the body weight when walking, running, or squatting, improper posture or repeated wear of the knee cartilage can cause kneecap degeneration and lead to arthritis symptoms, resulting in kneecap pain, swelling, stiffness, or even deformation, seriously affecting the daily life of the average person. Therefore, it is understandable that reducing body weight or the pressure and damage caused by high-intensity exercise on the knee to slow the rate of knee degeneration is a practical need. The present invention solves the aforementioned problems. By stacking multiple scales 5, when the body's weight is applied to the knee, the scales 5 support the body, sharing the load that the knee would otherwise bear. Furthermore, when the knee returns from a bent state to a straightened state, the elastic potential energy stored in the scales 5 is released, further sharing the muscle force required to support the limb and alleviating the pressure exerted by the muscles on the bones. Similarly, when the protective gear 1 of the present invention is used to cover other human joints, limbs, the trunk, or the head and neck, it can effectively unload force and reduce the burden on muscles, bones, or tissues, allowing the body to maintain its health for a long time and reducing the risk of sports injuries.

[0038] The second embodiment of the present invention is described below.

In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG9 , each scale 5 defines a V-shaped space 6 between the housing 18 and the housing 18, and each V-shaped space 6 opens in the same direction. When two adjacent scales 5 are parallel to each other, the two adjacent V-shaped spaces 6 intersect, and the volume of the intersection accounts for at least 15% of the total volume of the V-shaped spaces 6.

In another preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 10, it further includes: a protective layer 9, which is arranged on the side of the sleeve 18 that contacts the accommodating space 4, and defines an internal space 10 between the sleeve 18, wherein: the scale 5 is accommodated in the internal space 10.

[0040] More preferably, as shown in FIG11 , it further comprises: a vibration device 7, which is arranged on the sleeve 18, so as to selectively cause the scale 5 to vibrate with a certain vibration intensity; and a processing device 12, which is arranged on the sleeve 18 at a distance from the vibration device 7 and is correspondingly connected to the vibration device 7, wherein the processing device 12 comprises: a timing device 13, which is used to preset a timing period and transmit a start signal to the vibration device 7 after the timing period ends, so that the vibration device 7 vibrates together with the scale 5; a bending sensing device 14, which is used to detect the bending amplitude of the scale 5, wherein: when the bending amplitude is greater than the default curvature, the bending sensing device 14 will transmit a start signal to the vibration device 7, so that the vibration device 7 vibrates together with the scale 5, and, when the difference between the bending amplitude and the default curvature is greater, the vibration intensity is stronger; a roadblock sensing device 15, which is used to detect the relative distance between the user and the roadblock, wherein : When the distance between the user and the roadblock is less than a preset length, the roadblock sensing device 15 will transmit a start signal to the vibration device 7, causing the vibration device 7 to vibrate together with the scales 5, and, when the difference between the relative distance and the preset length is greater, the vibration intensity is stronger; the tipping sensing device 16 is used to detect the center of gravity of the user, wherein: when the center of gravity is lower than a default height, the tipping sensing device 16 will transmit a start signal to the vibration device 7, causing the vibration device 7 to vibrate together with the scales 5, and, when the difference between the center of gravity and the default height is greater, the vibration intensity is stronger; or the body temperature sensing device 17 is used to detect the body temperature value of the user, wherein: when the body temperature value is lower than a default temperature, the body temperature sensing device 17 will transmit a start signal to the vibration device 7, causing the vibration device 7 to vibrate together with the scales 5, and, when the difference between the body temperature value and the default temperature is greater, the vibration intensity is stronger. Specifically, the second embodiment of the present invention differs from the first embodiment only in that the protective gear 1 is connected to the sheet body 2 by a fixing member 3 to form a receiving space 4 for a human body part to be encased, or is a cover 18 that can be directly encased on a human body part. Apart from this, with respect to other implementation details, such as the arrangement, thickness, material, or additional devices of the scales 5, the second embodiment is generally similar to the first embodiment, and therefore will not be further described here.

[0041] The third embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0042] The present invention further provides a fish scale human body vibration support protector 1, as shown in FIG12, comprising: a sheet 2, which includes: a front portion, a middle portion, and a rear portion in sequence along the extension direction; a fixing member 3, one end of which is disposed on the sheet 2, and the other end is selectively connected to the sheet 2 to define an accommodating space 4 between the sheet 2 for accommodating a human body part; a scale 5, which is disposed on the side of the sheet 2 in contact with the accommodating space 4 to selectively contact the human body part, wherein the scale 5 comprises: a plurality of first scales, They are arranged in sequence and spaced apart from each other along the extension direction on the front part of the sheet body 2, wherein: one end of the first scale is arranged on the sheet body 2 so as to be selectively bent relative to the sheet body 2 and in contact with the adjacent first scale; a plurality of second scales are arranged in sequence and spaced apart from each other along the extension direction on the middle part of the sheet body 2, wherein: one end of the second scale is arranged on the sheet body 2 so as to be selectively bent relative to the sheet body 2 and in contact with the adjacent second scale, and when the first scale is bent relative to the sheet body 2, it can selectively contact the second scale; and a plurality of third scales are arranged in sequence and spaced apart from each other along the extension direction on the rear part of the sheet body 2, wherein: one end of the third scale is arranged on the sheet body 2 so as to be selectively bent relative to the sheet body 2 and in contact with the adjacent third scale, and when the second scale is bent relative to the sheet body 2, it can selectively contact the third scale.

[0043] More preferably, to increase the stretchability of the human body part, the first scale covers an area A of the sheet 2, the second scale covers an area B of the sheet 2, and the third scale covers an area C of the sheet 2, and A = C > B. Specifically, the middle portion corresponds to the joint position of the human body part. To reduce the resistance generated by the scales 5 to the movement of the human joint, B is less than 50% of the area of ​​the side of the sheet 2 in contact with the accommodating space 4. It can be understood that to avoid poor vibration transmission efficiency, B should be greater than 20% of the area of ​​the side of the sheet 2 in contact with the accommodating space 4. In addition, the front portion and the back portion correspond to the position of the human body part, such as the torso or limbs. To optimize the shock absorption effect, A or C is more than 70% of the area of ​​the side of the sheet 2 in contact with the accommodating space 4, preferably 80% to 95%, but not limited to this. In a preferred embodiment, the shape of the first scale, the second scale, or the third scale can be selected from the group consisting of the following, or a combination thereof: rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, arc, sphere, and ellipse, wherein the ellipse is preferred, but not limited thereto. In another preferred embodiment, in order to enhance breathability and achieve lightweight, the first scale, the second scale, or the third scale is provided with a ventilation hole. It is understandable that in order to avoid affecting the structural strength of the scale 5, the center of the ventilation hole intersects with the axis of the first scale, the second scale, or the third scale, but not limited thereto. In another preferred embodiment, the size or shape of the first scale, the second scale, and the third scale can be the same or different.

[0044] More preferably, a first V-shaped space is defined between the first scale and the sheet body 2, a second V-shaped space is defined between the second scale and the sheet body 2, and a third V-shaped space is defined between the third scale and the sheet body 2, and the opening direction of the first V-shaped space, the second V-shaped space, and the third V-shaped space are the same as the extension direction. In a preferred embodiment, the two adjacent first V-shaped spaces intersect with each other, and the volume of the intersection accounts for at least 15% of the total volume of the first V-shaped space; the two adjacent second V-shaped spaces intersect with each other, and the volume of the intersection accounts for at least 15% of the total volume of the second V-shaped space; and the two adjacent third V-shaped spaces intersect with each other, and the volume of the intersection accounts for at least 15% of the total volume of the third V-shaped space. In addition, in terms of other implementation details, such as the arrangement, thickness, material, or additional device of the scales 5, the third embodiment is roughly similar to the first embodiment, so no further details are given here.

[0045] The effectiveness of the present invention over the prior art is that: the installation method of the present invention is simple and fast, and the scales 5 can be directly installed on the corresponding part of the human body to be protected. In addition, the present invention can significantly enhance the resonance effect generated between the scales 5 by designing the scales 5 to be stacked alternately, so as to effectively offset the force borne by the wearing part of the human body and relieve the pressure borne by the muscles, joints, or bones, so as to avoid ligament strain, fractures, or excessive wear of cartilage. In addition, since the scales 5 are stacked and arranged in sequence along the extension direction and wrapped around the human body, when the vibration device 7 transmits energy to any position on the scales 5, the vibration generated can be quickly spread to all positions of the overall scale 5 structure and achieve a resonance effect. Therefore, it can be understood that the user can install the vibration device 7 at any position on the fish scale human body vibration support protector 1, so as to effectively massage the human body and release pressure under the premise of maintaining the comfort of human activities. Furthermore, because the scales 5 move relative to each other when a limb bends, storing elastic potential energy, when the bent part attempts to return to its original position, the scales 5 release this elastic potential energy and share some of the load, significantly reducing the burden of movement and preventing sports injuries. Furthermore, it can be understood that the continuously stacked scales 5 form multiple bending nodes on the skeleton, allowing them to swing or bend with the limb without affecting the body's mobility.
