Embodiment Construction

[0040] In order to describe the structural features and specific operation steps of the present invention in detail, the following preferred embodiments are given and described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] like figure 1 , figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the system includes a left foot, a right foot flexible arch-ankle module, an air pressure source 3 and a sensor control module 6, which can meet the support and assistance of the arch and ankle under different synchronic events. The left and right flexible arch-ankle modules are electrically connected to the sensing control module 6, and the left and right flexible arch-ankle modules are both connected to the air pressure source 3 through the corresponding trachea 5, and the air pressure source 3 is connected to the air pressure source 3. The sensing control module 6 is connected; the left foot and right foot flexible arch-ankle modules have the same structure, and the flexible arch-ankle module i...

Abstract

The invention discloses a dynamically adjustable flexible arch-ankle system and a control method thereof. The left foot flexible arch-ankle module and the right foot flexible arch-ankle module are connected with the air pressure source and the sensing control module; the left foot flexible arch-ankle module and the right foot flexible arch-ankle module are the same in structure, shoes in the flexible arch-ankle modules are electrically connected with the sensing control module, flexible drivers are installed in the shoes and connected with an air pressure source through air pipes and electromagnetic switch valves, and the electromagnetic switch valves are electrically connected with the sensing control module; the shoe is worn on the foot of a wearer, according to the gait of the wearer, the sensing control module controls the opening and closing of the electromagnetic switch valve to control the on-off of the air path where the corresponding flexible driver is located, and then the state of each flexible driver is controlled, so that the supporting force of each flexible driver on the arch and ankle joint of the wearer is dynamically adjusted. The system can be tightly attached to the arch and the ankle of a wearer, supporting is carried out only when needed, and the normal assisting effect can be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a foot arch-foot-ankle system, in particular to a dynamically adjusted flexible foot-arch-foot-ankle system and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] The human foot is a very complex system that contains numerous bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels. Among them, the arch of the foot and the ankle joint play a very important role in bearing the weight of the human body, absorbing the ground impact, distributing the pressure on the sole of the foot and maintaining balance, while the normal gait of the human body bears overload for a long time, such as standing or walking for a long time, the foot The arch may drop, causing injury or pain in the foot, followed by foot disorders such as gait disorders or even flat feet. [0003] In order to prevent the arch of the foot from being too low and reduce the damage caused by the drop of the foot arch, the orthopedic insole has been continuously d...
