Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The embodiments of the present invention can be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described in detail below. This embodiment is provided to more fully describe the present invention to those skilled in the art.

Therefore, it should be noted that the shapes and the like of the components illustrated in the drawings may be exaggerated in order to emphasize a clearer description, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings. Further, the detailed description of the function of the known technology and the corresponding configuration that are judged to be unnecessarily blurring the gist of the present invention is omitted.

First, the configuration of an athlete's protective chute according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 through FIG.

The athlete protective chute according to the present embodiment includes a chute body 10 which is worn on the upper body of an athlete to wrap around the shoulder, chest and back, and an air pocket (not shown) provided inside the chute body 10 An air guide tube 30 connected to guide high pressure air to the air pocket 20, a detection sensor 40 provided on one side of the chute body 10, A driving motor 50 for rapidly supplying air to the air guide tube 30 by a signal and an adunino 60 for controlling the operation of the sensing sensor 40 and the driving motor 50.

The sensing sensor 40 of the present embodiment is provided on the throat by the support plate 40a. It is preferable that the sensing sensor 40 is a distance sensor for sensing the approach to the surroundings. However, if necessary, an impact sensor for sensing impact transmitted to the chute body 10 may be used.

The Arduino 60 is mounted in the form of a substrate, and is electrically connected to the sensors and components to perform an operation control according to signal transmission.

It is preferable that the drive motor 50 is mounted on the chute body 10 by a Velcro tape or the like.

Reference numeral 11 in the figure denotes a waist belt for securing to the waist region and reference numeral 70 denotes a battery configured to supply power to the detection sensor 40 and the drive motor 50 and the arcuino 60, respectively.

Hereinafter, a description will be made of the effect of the present invention on the wear of the athlete's protective suit.

The athlete's protective suit in the present embodiment is able to mitigate the impact of the athlete such as the American football, the ice hockey, etc. on the body during the athletic competition by wearing as shown in FIG.

That is, since the air pocket 20 is not filled with air at the initial stage of the state where the athlete wears the chute body 10 of the present invention, the air pocket 20 is not in close contact with the body of the wearer, The constraint on the movement activity can be minimized.

In this state, when the other athlete approaches to the athletic competition, the detection sensor 40 senses this, and at this time, the drive motor 50 is operated under the control of the adunino 60 which receives the detection signal Air is supplied to the air pocket 20.

Accordingly, due to the pumping operation of the driving motor 50, the air pocket 20 is instantaneously expanded as shown in FIG. 6, so that the external impact force applied to the chute body 10 can be buffered So that the athlete's body can be protected.

When the air pocket 20 is filled with air and a predetermined time (5 to 10 seconds) elapses, the operation of the drive motor 50 is performed by the control signal of the Arduino 60, The air discharge operation is performed to minimize the restriction on the exercise activity
