A wearable device that can maintain the converted motion according to the user's intention}

The present invention relates to a wearable device capable of maintaining a converted motion according to the user's intention, and more particularly, to a wearable device that can move freely in a worn state, can be worn conveniently when necessary, and can be adjusted in angle, so that the user's intention A wearable device capable of maintaining a motion converted according to a user's intention capable of maintaining a motion converted according to a user's intention.

The incidence of lower body diseases such as varicose veins due to lower extremity fatigue among production workers or service workers who stand and work for a long time in Korea is on the rise.

In the above case, even if you work while standing, you have to work for a long time with your back slightly bent, so you easily feel fatigue in your lower body as well as your body as a whole.

In addition, if you feel physical fatigue, work efficiency decreases, and as a result, production efficiency decreases, and the risk of industrial accidents increases when workers accumulate fatigue.

In order to solve this problem, various types of wearable chairs have been developed, and Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0146169 entitled "A body worn chair device that is easy to store and carry" has been proposed.

However, although these conventionally developed chairs are easy to store and carry, there is a problem in that free movement such as climbing stairs or running when walking is restricted because the device worn on both legs is integrated.

In addition, it is inconvenient for the user to take out the frame of the device he is carrying and assemble it himself in order to wear it.

In order to solve such a problem, a wearable device that can be worn immediately and can maintain a motion converted according to the user's intention that can reduce the restriction of motion suggested above in a worn state is needed.

In addition, one side of the fixed frame 500 is rotatably connected to the second frame 200 and can rotate in the direction of the third frame 300 according to the bending angle of the user's knee.

That is, the fixed frame 600 is rotated when the user takes an action in the posture of FIG. Rotation can be constrained.

Here, the first frame 100, the second frame 200, and the third frame 300 may each include a coupling means portion S that is fixedly coupled to the user's leg.

The coupling unit (S) includes a first frame 100, a second frame 200, and a wearable device 10 capable of maintaining the converted motion according to the user's intention so that the wearable device 10 can be fixed to the user's leg. Each may be installed on the third frame 300 .

In addition, the coupling means portion (S) may be installed as a strap.

In addition, the coupling unit (S) may be coupled with a vibration member (not shown) that generates vibrations so as to release the user's leg muscles.

This vibrating member may be inserted into a storage bag (not shown) installed in the coupling unit (S). Due to this, the vibrating member may be detachable from the coupling unit (S) according to the user's need.

In addition, the wearable device 10 capable of maintaining the converted motion according to the user's intention may include a moving means 800 coupled to the lower side of the first frame 100 so as to be easily moved.

The moving means 800 may include a wheel 810, a rotating part 820, a spacing part 830, and a fixing part.

The rotation unit 820 may be coupled to one side of the first frame 100 so that the wheel 810 rotates. And the spacer 830 is located between the wheel 810 and the pivoting part 820, connects the wheel 810 and the pivoting part 820, and prevents the wheel 810 from contacting the first frame 100. It can be prevented.

That is, the spacer 830 may prevent the first frame 100 and the wheel 810 from being damaged due to the contact of the wheel 810 with the first frame 100 .

In addition, the fixing unit (not shown) may fix the wheel 810 to one side of the first frame 100 when the wheel 810 is not in use.

The fixing part is installed on one side of the rotating part 820, and when the wheel 810 rotates in the direction of the fixing part, protrusions may be installed to protrude in the direction of the wheel 810.

Accordingly, the fixing unit may be fixed by hooking the wheel 810 to the protrusion of the fixing unit.

In addition, it is rotatably connected to the second frame 200 and the seating frame 320, and when the user takes a sitting posture and the seating frame 320 touches the ground, the second frame 200 and the seat A variable frame 900 installed to easily change the seating angle of the frame 320 may be included.

In addition, the variable frame 900 rotatably connects the second frame 200 and the seating frame 320, so that the distance between the second frame 200 and the seating frame 320 is adjusted, and the user's sitting posture When a motion is taken, there is an effect of supporting the user's weight and the converted motion.

The wearable device 10, which can maintain the converted motion according to the user's intention, is coupled to the fourth frame 400 and the fifth frame 500, and includes a seating portion 700 on which the user's hip is seated on one side. can do.

The seating portion 700 may have a shape corresponding to the user's hip. In addition, the seating portion 700 is used to prevent the user's buttocks from being uncomfortable and difficult to wear for a long time when the wearable device 10 capable of maintaining the converted motion according to the user's intention is used for a long time. ) An elastic member may be installed inside. Such an elastic member may include a sponge, rubber, spring, or the like.

In addition, the seating portion 700 includes a handle 710 installed on the other side of the seating portion 700, that is, in the opposite direction to the direction in which the user's hip is seated, and a handle fixing portion (not shown) for fixing the handle 710. can include

The handle 710 is installed so that the wearable device 10 that can maintain the converted motion according to the user's intention can be conveniently carried and carried when moving from place to place according to situations when the wearable device 10 is in use or not in use.

In addition, the handle fixing portion is installed so that the handle 710 is fixed to the other side of the seating portion 700 in order to prevent the handle 710 from getting caught when not in use.

In addition, the handle fixing portion is formed as a protrusion and is inserted into a hole formed in the handle 710 to fix the handle 710 from the other side of the seating portion 700 .

In addition, a storage unit (not shown) into which a user's electronic device (cell phone, tab, earphone, etc.), user's items, cup holder, etc. can be inserted may be installed on the side or both sides of the seating unit 700 .

Therefore, through the wearable device 10 capable of maintaining the converted motion according to the user's intention according to the present invention, the wearable device 10 capable of maintaining the converted motion according to the user's intention allows for free movement and walking even in a worn state. This is possible, regardless of the working environment, and the operation can be easily changed according to the user's intention.

On the other hand, the wearable device capable of maintaining the converted motion according to the user's intention is located between the third frame and the fifth frame, and interferes according to the flow interval between the third frame and the fifth frame generated according to the user's posture. It may include an interference member (interference member) that generates a force.

The interference member (not shown) is located between the third frame 300 and the fifth frame 500, and the movement distance between the third frame 300 and the fifth frame 500 is increased due to a change in the user's posture. It absorbs the buffering force generated when it is formed.

At this time, the interference member is a spring-damper system, and is a device that absorbs a buffering force using elasticity and frictional force.

That is, it may have an effect of assisting muscle strength when standing up through cushioning generated when sitting down during a posture change operation of the user.

In addition, by supporting the shin and hip, it is possible to distribute the load on the waist and knees, so that the user can not only sit down and rest, but also support muscle strength when standing and move while wearing any terrain, including stairs. can

In addition, it is designed to be moved and stored conveniently when not in use, so that the user can conveniently move and store it.
