Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of footwear, in particular to an electric shoe comprising a novel brake device. Background Art

[0002] In contemporary society, with the development and progress of transportation, human travel methods have been upgraded and diversified, but walking is still one of the most basic and most commonly used methods, such as shopping, taking subways and buses, working in companies, and activities in living areas. Existing balance bikes have poor safety, and small-wheel electric vehicles and electric scooters are heavy and difficult to fold and store, so they are not suitable to replace walking. At present, there is no safe and convenient single-person transportation tool on the market that can effectively replace walking and provide efficient services for the last kilometer of human travel. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to improve the walking efficiency of humans in the last kilometer of travel, the inventors have invented an electric shoe including a new brake device after long-term research and experiments in view of the shortcomings and limitations of various existing single-person transportation tools. The new brake device has an ingenious structure and reliable operation, and can more thoroughly solve the problems of walking efficiency and safety, thus helping humans in the last kilometer of travel.

[0004] The present invention specifically adopts the following scheme:

[0005] An electric shoe including a novel brake device comprises a novel brake device, a sole and a shoe body, the novel brake device comprises a brake drive unit, a reset spring, a bridge brake plate and at least one guide column, the sole comprises a sole plate and two groups of shoe wheels arranged front and back, the shoe wheels comprise a fixed shaft and at least one wheel body, the fixed shafts of the two groups of shoe wheels are both fixed on the sole plate, the novel brake device is arranged between the two groups of shoe wheels, the bridge brake plate is located below a line connecting the centers of the two groups of shoe wheels, at least one of the two groups of shoe wheels is a hub-type motor with an outer tire ring, the pull rod of the brake drive unit passes downward through the reset spring and the sole plate and is connected to the bridge brake plate, the guide column is fixed on the sole plate and forms a sliding fit connection with the bridge brake plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the electric shoe including the novel brake device has a built-in control circuit board connected to the brake drive unit and the hub motor, and at least one battery is arranged on the shoe body. The battery is connected to the control circuit board through a wire, and the battery is usually a rechargeable battery that can be recharged repeatedly.

[0007] The hub-type motor is a motor with a stator body in the middle and a rotor body on the outer circumference. The stator shaft is arranged on the central axis of the stator body. The stator shaft is a fixed shaft in the shoe wheel and fixed to the sole plate. The hub-type motor with a tire ring on the outer cover is the shoe wheel that can generate forward driving force. The electric energy of the battery is supplied to the stator body of the hub-type motor through the control circuit board, driving the rotor body to rotate, thereby causing the shoe wheel to rotate and generate forward driving force.

[0008] The function of the guide column is to constrain the movement direction of the bridge brake plate so that the bridge brake plate does not tilt during the braking process.

[0009] A telescopic pad is arranged below the bridge brake plate, and the pull rod continues to extend downward from the bridge brake plate and is connected with the telescopic pad.

[0010] The brake drive unit is a brake motor (10101) or an electromagnet drive component whose rotating shaft is a screw rod.

[0011] The screw rod of the brake motor is an external thread, which forms a spiral transmission with the internal thread of the bridge brake plate. The electric energy of the battery is supplied to the brake motor through the control circuit board to rotate its shaft, so that the bridge brake plate moves upward. When it contacts the front and rear wheel bodies, a braking action is generated, and the screw rod is a pull rod; the screw rod of the brake motor continues to rotate, and because the bridge brake plate is blocked by the two wheel bodies and cannot continue to move upward, the return spring begins to be compressed, causing the brake motor and the screw rod to move downward, driving the telescopic pad to move downward together until the telescopic pad contacts the ground, and the electric shoe containing the new brake device is locked by the bridge brake plate and the telescopic pad in turn. At this time, the wearer can walk and go up and down stairs safely like wearing ordinary shoes, without having to worry about the electric shoes slipping and causing him to fall; the shaft of the brake motor rotates in the opposite direction, the return spring rebounds, and the telescopic pad and the bridge brake plate are unlocked in turn.

[0012] The electromagnet drive assembly comprises an electromagnet and a pull rod (10102), wherein the electromagnet is connected to the pull rod, and the electric energy of the battery is supplied to the electromagnet through the control circuit board to make it attract, thereby driving the pull rod to move upward, and then driving the bridge brake plate connected to the pull rod to move upward, and when it contacts the front and rear sets of wheels, a braking action is also generated; the electromagnet is continuously energized and attracted, driving the pull rod to continue to move upward, and since the bridge brake plate is blocked by the two wheels and cannot continue to move upward, the return spring begins to be compressed, causing the electromagnet and the pull rod to move downward, driving the telescopic pad to move downward together, until the telescopic pad contacts the ground, and the electric shoes containing the new brake device are successively locked by the bridge brake plate and the telescopic pad. At this time, the wearer can also walk and go up and down stairs safely like wearing ordinary shoes; the electromagnet is powered off, the return spring rebounds, and the telescopic pad and the bridge brake plate are also unlocked in turn.

[0013] The shoe sole plate is provided with a bracket for fixing the brake drive unit.

[0014] The electric shoes containing the novel brake device are paired in left and right. The most typical example is that the left and right electric shoes each adopt a structure in which a shoe wheel is arranged at the front and rear, and each shoe wheel is a hub-type motor with a tire ring on the outer cover, and the novel brake device is located between the front and rear shoe wheels.

[0015] At least one pair of mutually attracted cylindrical pins and cylindrical pin sleeves are provided on the inner sides of the left and right sole plates or the left and right shoe bodies. The cylindrical pins and cylindrical pin sleeves are mutually magnetic. When they are close to each other, the cylindrical pins and cylindrical pin sleeves are guided, attracted, and locked. The most typical example is that a pair of mutually attracted cylindrical pins and cylindrical pin sleeves are provided on the inner sides of the left and right sole plates, front and back, respectively.

[0016] The control circuit board has a built-in wireless transmitting module and a wireless receiving module. Accordingly, a wearer of the electric shoes including the novel braking device wears control gloves on the hand joints or control elbow guards on the elbow joints. The control gloves or control elbow guards also have a built-in wireless transmitting module and a wireless receiving module, which are paired and communicated with the built-in wireless transmitting module and the built-in wireless receiving module of the control circuit board, thereby enabling the wearer to control the left and right electric shoes in real time.

[0017] A pressure-sensitive switch, a pressure-sensitive resistor or a pressure-sensitive capacitor connected to a wireless transmitting module is arranged near the joints of the control gloves or the control elbow guards. Through the movement of the hand joints or elbow joints, the wireless transmitting module of the control gloves or the control elbow guards transmits and the wireless receiving module built into the control circuit board of the electric shoes relays, and sends action instructions to the hub motor and the brake motor.

[0018] There are two ways of deceleration and braking: electronically controlled deceleration braking and mechanical deceleration braking. The electronically controlled deceleration is achieved by reducing or stopping the power supply current of the hub motor, or by providing a reverse drive current to the hub motor to achieve deceleration and braking. The mechanical deceleration braking is achieved by supplying power to the brake drive unit of the new brake device to drive the bridge brake plate and telescopic pad to move downward.

[0019] The advantages of the present invention are:

[0020] 1. Compared with the traditional brake device, the new brake device of the present invention has a novel and ingenious structure. It is arranged between the two shoe wheels and can play the dual functions of braking and locking. The wearer can switch safely and freely in various states such as moving, decelerating, turning, braking, walking, etc.; when one of the left shoe and the right shoe accelerates and the other shoe decelerates or brakes, turning can be easily achieved.

[0021] 2. The present invention adopts a hub-type motor, which integrates power and transmission in one, greatly simplifying the overall structure.

[0022] 3. The mutually engaging cylindrical pins and cylindrical pin sleeves provided on the inner side surfaces of the left and right sole plates or the left and right shoe bodies of the present invention can make the left and right shoes lean against each other and be fixed to each other as a whole, so that they can present a stable standing state when charging or storing, thereby facilitating charging or storage.
