Abstract

The invention provides smart insoles with a tactility enhancing function. The smart insoles with the tactility enhancing function are used for enhancing tactility by improving force feedback of the soles of a user to further improve the gait and walking balance of the user. Each smart insole is characterized by including an insole body, a signal generation device, three piezoelectric vibration devices, a communicator and a power supply device; the signal generation devices are arranged on the insole bodies, and each signal generation device includes a microprocessor, a signal generator and a signal amplifying circuit, wherein the signal generator is used for outputting white noise signals under the control of the microprocessor, and the signal amplifying circuit is used for amplifying thewhite noise signals; the piezoelectric vibration devices are arranged on the insole bodies, are connected with the signal amplifying circuits at the same time and are used for generating white noise vibration according to amplified white noise signals; the communicators are arranged on the insole bodies and are connected with the microprocessors. The user adjusts vibration parameters on a mobile terminal of the user according to the tactility of the soles and conducts transmission through the communicators, and therefore the microprocessors adjust the white noise vibration strength of the piezoelectric vibration devices according to adjusted vibration parameters.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of intelligent rehabilitation, and in particular relates to an intelligent insole with a touch enhancement function. Background technique [0002] At present, the world is facing the serious challenge of population aging. The number of elderly people in my country has exceeded 230 million, becoming the country with the largest elderly population in the world. The health of the elderly has attracted the attention of all walks of life, and how to ensure the quality of life of the elderly has become a key research direction. Studies have shown that due to the degradation of the tactile ability of the elderly, it is easy to cause unstable gait and physical incoordination during walking, which greatly increases the possibility of falling. In addition, in addition to the elderly, the number of diabetic patients in China has reached 110 million, and diabetic patients and other patients with peripheral neuropathy are at risk...
