[0007] The shoe body 8 is provided with a shoehorn 7 for securing the heel of the shoe;

[0008] The shoe body 8 has a reserved shoe-wearing space 5 inside, which is used to place the foot or shoe;

[0009] In the shoe-wearing space 5, a baffle 4 that can move left and right is vertically installed;

[0010] An infrared ranging module 3 facing the toe 2 is provided on the left side of the baffle 4, which is used to monitor and feed back the infrared distance signal between the baffle 4 and the toe 2;

[0011] The toe cap 2 houses a power module 12 and a control chip MCU inside, and an LED screen on its outer surface.

[0012] The power module 12, the LED screen, and the infrared ranging module 3 are electrically connected to the control circuit board, respectively.

[0013] The power module 12 is used to supply power;

[0014] The control chip MCU is used to receive the infrared distance signal fed back by the infrared ranging module 3, calculate the distance L1 between the baffle 4 and the toe 2, and simulate and calculate the distance L of the current user's foot based on the pre-saved distance L2 of the shoe body 8.

[0015] L = L2 - L1,

[0016] In addition, the distance L is converted into the corresponding foot size M and sent to the LED screen;

[0017] The LED screen is used to display the current user's foot size M.

[0018] As an optional embodiment of this application, a contact switch may be provided on the right side of the baffle 4, and the contact switch is used to activate the control chip MCU;

[0019] When measuring foot size, the user's toes touch the contact switch on the baffle 4, activating the control chip MCU and starting the LED screen and infrared ranging module 3. The LED screen lights up, and the measurement begins.

Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, they are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0050] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments.

[0051] Furthermore, to better illustrate this disclosure, numerous specific details are set forth in the following detailed description. Those skilled in the art will understand that this disclosure can be practiced without certain specific details. In some instances, means, components, and circuits well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this disclosure.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, this application proposes a shoe-wearing assistance model with intelligent size measurement, including...

[0054] A shoe model consisting of a toe (2) and a body (8);

[0055] The shoe body 8 is provided with a shoehorn 7 for securing the heel of the shoe;

[0056] The shoe body 8 has a reserved shoe-wearing space 5 inside, which is used to place the foot or shoe;

[0057] In the shoe-wearing space 5, a baffle 4 that can move left and right is vertically installed;

[0058] An infrared ranging module 3 facing the toe 2 is provided on the left side of the baffle 4, which is used to monitor and feed back the infrared distance signal between the baffle 4 and the toe 2;

[0059] The toe cap 2 houses a power module 12 and a control chip MCU inside, and an LED screen on its outer surface.

[0060] The power module 12, the LED screen, and the infrared ranging module 3 are electrically connected to the control circuit board, respectively.

[0061] The power module 12 is used to supply power;

[0062] The control chip MCU is used to receive the infrared distance signal fed back by the infrared ranging module 3, calculate the distance L1 between the baffle 4 and the toe 2, and simulate and calculate the distance L of the current user's foot based on the pre-saved distance L2 of the shoe body 8.

[0063] L = L2 - L1,

[0064] In addition, the distance L is converted into the corresponding foot size M and sent to the LED screen;

[0065] The LED screen is used to display the current user's foot size M.

[0066] In this embodiment, all electronic components used, such as the power module 12, LED screen, infrared ranging module 3, and control chip MCU, can be purchased by the user. The power module 12 can be a lithium battery, the LED screen can be an electronic screen, the infrared ranging module 3 mainly uses infrared laser emission and recovery to measure distance, and the control circuit board where the MCU chip is located can also be purchased by the user, or a microcontroller can be used, etc.

[0067] The shoe-wearing aid model consists of a toe cap 2 and a shoe body 8. The toe cap 2 and the shoe body 8 can be detached and connected for easy storage and transportation. For example, they can be fastened together from top to bottom using a snap-on method, which makes them convenient to use.

[0068] Inside the shoe body, there is a shoe-wearing space 5. A baffle 4 is vertically installed in the shoe-wearing space. The baffle can move left and right. Specifically, the baffle is vertically installed in the shoe-wearing space 5 through a slider mechanism. It can move left and right along the slider and is reset by the spring.

[0069] An infrared ranging module is set on the left side of the baffle, which can measure the distance between the baffle 4 and the front toe 2. After the foot is put into the shoe space 5, the length of the foot L = L2 - L1 is calculated by combining the length of the shoe body 8 and the measured length between the baffle and the toe. Then, based on the length of the foot, the MCU chip intelligently recommends the corresponding foot size.

[0070] Different foot lengths correspond to different sizes. For example, a foot length of 220mm corresponds to size 34; 240mm corresponds to size 38; and so on. The specific foot sizes can be pre-programmed into the embedded program of the MCU chip. Once the MCU chip calculates the foot length, it automatically recommends the corresponding size and sends it to the LED screen for display.

[0071] The recommended sizes in the MCU chip can be a range, such as a foot length of 210-220mm corresponding to sizes 32-35. The specific mapping relationship for different foot lengths can be written into the embedded program.

[0072] like Figure 4 The diagram shows a schematic of foot length measurement. When the foot is inserted into the shoe space, the toes of the foot will touch the baffle and push the baffle to the left until the heel of the foot touches the sole of the shoe. At this point, the length of the foot is the distance between the baffle and the right side of the shoe.

[0073] The length of the foot is calculated by reading the distance measured by infrared sensors.

[0074] like Figure 5 As shown in the illustration, in this embodiment, the shoe-wearing assistance model resembles a shoe structure in shape, with an open design at the top to facilitate inserting the foot and putting on the shoe.

[0075] Its external outline can be designed in conjunction with the specific shoe outline, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0076] As an optional embodiment of this application, a contact switch may be provided on the right side of the baffle 4, and the contact switch is used to activate the control chip MCU;

[0077] When measuring foot size, the user's toes touch the contact switch on the baffle 4, activating the control chip MCU and starting the LED screen and infrared ranging module 3. The LED screen lights up, and the measurement begins.

[0078] The power supply circuit on the MCU chip can control the power supply startup, etc.

[0079] To prevent the MCU chip from remaining continuously powered on, this solution incorporates a contact switch. This switch controls the circuit's on / off state and is located on the right side of the baffle. When the toes of a foot contact the baffle, they rest against the right side of the baffle, thus activating the contact switch, connecting the power supply, and activating the MCU chip. The MCU chip then powers on the other electronic components, initiating the measurement process.

[0080] After the foot measurement is complete, the foot is removed, the contact switch resets, and the circuit is disconnected, thus cutting off power. This saves electricity and extends battery life.

[0081] The selection and installation of the specific contact switch can be designed and installed by the user according to the basic size of the foot. As long as it is used and controlled in accordance with the principle of this embodiment, it can be used and controlled.

[0082] like Figure 6 As shown, as an optional embodiment of this application, optionally, a sole 9 is provided on the bottom surface inside the shoe body 8;

[0083] The left side of the sole 9 is provided with a groove, and a slider 10 is fitted in the groove. The baffle 4 is vertically installed on the slider 10.

[0084] Springs 11 are provided in the grooves on both the left and right sides of the slider 10 to support the slider 10 to return to its original position after deformation.

[0085] The baffle 4 can move left and right and return to its original position. Therefore, a groove and a slider are provided on the sole of the shoe to install and fix the baffle 4. The spring 11 can make the baffle 4 return to its original position.

[0086] As an optional embodiment of this application, the right side of the sole 9 may be a sloping structure, on which a plurality of rollers 6 are provided at equal intervals.

[0087] To facilitate smooth leftward movement of the foot and shoe, several equally spaced and parallel rollers 6 are provided on the upper surface of the sole. These rollers 6 facilitate leftward movement of the foot or shoe and prevent forward movement from being hindered by friction with the sole.

[0088] As an optional embodiment of this application, the shoehorn 7 may be an arc-shaped component and hinged to the rear top of the shoe body 8.

[0089] When measuring foot size, open the shoehorn 7 to the right;

[0090] When the shoe is placed inside the shoe-wearing space 5 of the shoe body 8, press the shoehorn 7 downward and to the left so that the tip of the shoehorn 7 hooks onto the heel of the shoe;

[0091] When putting on the shoes, the sole of the foot first exerts downward force, causing the shoe to move down the slope structure for a certain distance until the shoehorn 7 disengages from the heel of the shoe; after disengagement, the shoe is lifted out of the shoe-wearing space 5.

[0092] The shoehorn component 7 is an arc-shaped component, with its end hinged to the rear top of the shoe body 8. Its front end works similarly to a shoehorn, securing the heel of the shoe and assisting the heel in entering the shoe.

[0093] When using, release the shoehorn 7, place the shoe into the shoe-wearing space of the model (the toe also needs to simulate wearing the shoe, moving forward a distance), insert the ball of the foot into the shoe, forcefully put the shoe on, the heel enters the heel of the shoe, and at the same time the shoe moves forward, the shoehorn 7 disengages from the heel of the shoe, and the shoe-wearing is completed.

[0094] After putting on the shoes, lift them up from the shoe-wearing space on the model.

[0095] Because the toe of the shoe rests against the baffle, when putting on the shoe, after moving forward a certain distance, simply let the shoehorn 7 disengage from the heel. When lifting the shoe, as the heel moves outward, it will lift the shoehorn 7 and open it to the right, making it easier to put on the shoe next time.

[0096] Therefore, this application can conveniently recommend shoe sizes, assist users in choosing shoes, and improve the convenience of wearing shoes.

[0097] Example 2

[0099] Secure the shoe-wearing aid model equipped with intelligent size measurement.

[0100] Open shoehorn 7 to the right;

[0101] Place your foot inside the shoe-wearing space 5 of the shoe body 8, with your toes against the baffle 4 and move forward until the heel of your foot touches the sole 9;

[0102] Read the current user's foot size M displayed on the LED screen;

[0103] Select a shoe that corresponds to your foot size M, place it inside the shoe space 5, and place the toe of the shoe against the baffle 4 and move it forward until the heel of the shoe touches the sole 9;

[0104] Press the shoehorn 7 downwards and to the left so that the tip of the shoehorn 7 hooks onto the heel of the shoe;

[0105] When putting on shoes, insert your foot into the shoe. First, push your foot downwards, causing the shoe to move down the slope structure for a distance until the shoehorn 7 disengages from the heel of the shoe. At this point, your foot enters the inside of the shoe.

[0106] Lift the shoes, removing them from the shoe-wearing space 5;
