Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a Chinese herbal medicine rubber pad and also relates to a shoe insole with a massage function comprising the Chinese herbal medicine rubber pad. Background Art
[0002] Massage insoles or massage shoes are products that apply certain stimulation to the sole or a specific position of the sole to promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that massaging or stimulating the acupuncture points on the sole of the foot has the effects of promoting blood circulation and relieving foot fatigue. Therefore, some shoes or insoles are provided with protruding parts at specific positions of the shoes according to relevant traditional Chinese medicine theories. These protruding parts will apply greater pressure to the relative position of the sole of the foot, thereby achieving the effect of massage. Further, the Chinese medicinal ingredients processed into powder are stored in the sole or insole to improve its effect, such as a health care shoe for insomnia patients disclosed in a Chinese patent with publication number CN118356043A. The Chinese medicinal materials of this insole are concentrated in a certain part, and often cannot act evenly on the entire sole of the foot, and during use, the medicinal effect is quickly dispersed, and the effect gradually deteriorates over time, and the effect of sustained release cannot be achieved. In addition, this massage insole also realizes the corresponding massage function through a massage key, and this massage will continue to exist after putting on the shoes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the specific implementation mode, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0024] The Chinese herbal medicine rubber pad of the present invention comprises the following steps: mixing a rubber foam sheet and a Chinese herbal medicine composition to obtain a green sheet, and vulcanizing and foaming the green sheet in a mold to obtain the Chinese herbal medicine rubber pad.
[0025] The components of the rubber foam sheet are mixed by weight as follows: 80-100 parts of natural rubber, 10-20 parts of elastomer, 60-80 parts of talc, 20-25 parts of ointment, 13-15 parts of active zinc oxide, 2-4 parts of stearic acid, 3-5 parts of anti-wear agent, 2-3 parts of anti-yellowing agent, 5-8 parts of antioxidant, 1-2 parts of accelerator D, 3-5 parts of accelerator DM, 2-3 parts of paraffin, 2-3 parts of sulfur, 3-5 parts of foaming agent, 1 part of negative ion powder, 0.1 parts of graphene, and 1 part of tourmaline powder; wherein the elastomer can be TPE, which has a wide range of applications in multiple fields due to its unique physical and chemical properties. The components in the above ratio are added to an internal mixer for internal mixing to form a rubber foam sheet.
[0026] The Chinese herbal medicine composition is prepared by weight with 5-15 parts of wormwood, 1-3 parts of stemona, 1-3 parts of chuanxiong, 1-3 parts of angelica, 2 parts of borneol, 2-4 parts of ginger, 1-2 parts of limpetalum, 2 parts of alum, and 1-3 parts of mint. The Chinese herbal medicine composition is first cleaned, dried, and then ground into powder.
[0027] Add the rubber foam sheet and Chinese herbal medicine according to the above weight ratio into an internal mixer and mix them to make the Chinese herbal medicine evenly dispersed. The temperature cannot exceed 80°C. Too high a temperature will lead to lower activity of the rubber and reduce the fluidity of the rubber in the mold. The mixing time is 10-15 minutes to obtain a rubber foam thick body embryo sheet.
[0028] Put the embryo into the insole mold, and the pressure required by the mold reaches 15-20MPa. The pressure here is the common name in production, which actually refers to the pressure. The unit ton refers to the force per ton of weight acting on one square centimeter. Vulcanization foaming molding is carried out at 130℃-145℃, and the vulcanization foaming molding time is 280-350 seconds. After cooling and shaping, the Chinese herbal rubber pad is obtained.
[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 5As shown, the present invention also includes an insole with a massage function, including the above-mentioned Chinese herbal rubber pad, a molded surface layer 2 on the upper side of the rubber pad, and the main body of the surface layer 2 is a conductive cloth. The conductive cloth is a prior art and is disclosed in multiple existing patent documents, including the use of graphene materials or the weaving of conductive threads into the cloth. In this embodiment, a piece of insulating cloth is sewn in the middle of the conductive cloth, and the conductive cloth of the surface layer 2 is divided into two parts, the forefoot and the heel, namely the first conductive area 3 and the second conductive area 5. The first conductive area 3 and the second conductive area 5 are each connected to a wire 7 through a circular copper sheet below them. The wire 7 is connected to a power supply provided in the sole and controlled by a controller. It is prior art to set a rechargeable battery as a power source in the sole and to set a controller for control, which will not be repeated here. The controller can set an on-off switch and an up-adjustment button and a down-adjustment button, and can set multiple adjustment gears, and the gears are adjusted by the up-adjustment button and the down-adjustment button. In this embodiment, when the massage function is turned on, a microcurrent is formed between the first conductive area 3, the human body, and the second conductive area 5 to stimulate the human body. Refer to Figure 1 As shown, a convex block 8 with a certain shape is formed at a corresponding position of the rubber pad according to the acupuncture points of the human body to stimulate the corresponding acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine theory.
[0030] The present invention also discloses a molding method of the insole 1, comprising the following steps:
[0031] S1: making a surface layer 2 of a predetermined shape and putting it into an insole mold; in this step, there are many methods for making the surface layer 2, including sewing a strip of insulating cloth (of a certain width) between two conductive cloths, and then cutting it with a cutting machine to form the corresponding shape of the surface layer 2; or cutting out the corresponding first conductive area 3, second conductive area 5 and insulating area 4 parts separately and then sewing or pasting them;
[0032] S2: punching the rubber foam sheet and the Chinese herbal medicine composition into a predetermined shape and thickness, and placing the blank into an insole mold;
[0033] S3: welding the wire 7 to the copper sheet, and placing the welded wire 7 and the copper sheet in the specified position in the mold; the copper sheet is placed between the embryo sheet and the surface layer 2, corresponding to the first conductive area 3 and the second conductive area 5;
[0034] S4: vulcanization and foaming are performed in a mold to form the insole 1. The copper sheet, the wire 7 and the insole 1 are integrated.
[0035] In the above embodiment, the surface layer, the wire, the copper sheet and the rubber pad are integrally formed into the insole by high-temperature foaming. The advantage of this molding method is that no adhesive is used, and glue-free molding is achieved, which is a green and environmentally friendly process. In addition to the above embodiment, the surface layer, the wire, the copper sheet and the rubber pad can also be combined in an existing and traditional way, such as firstly forming the copper sheet and the rubber pad integrally on its surface, and then bonding the surface layer 2 to the surface of the rubber pad by gluing or other methods.
[0036] In the above embodiment, referring to Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate the disassembly, assembly and replacement of the insole 1, the wire 7 of the insole 1 is connected to the connecting device 6, and the connecting device 6 includes a plug connector 601 and a slot 602 arranged in pairs, the plug connector 601 and the slot 602 cooperate, one of the plug connector 601 and the slot 602 is connected to the insole 1 and connected to the wire 7 of the insole 1, and the other is arranged in the sole and connected to the power supply device and the controller with the wire 7 on the sole. The insole 1 can be separated from the sole through the plug connector 601 of the connecting device 6 and the corresponding slot 602. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two embodiments of the plug connector 601 and the socket 602 are shown respectively. Figure 2 As shown, the plug connector 601 is integrally inserted into the slot 602, a plug 603 is arranged in the slot 602, and the plug 603 is inserted into the socket on the plug connector 601 and contacts with the static contact on the elastic conductive sheet at the bottom of the socket to form an electrical path.
[0037] In the above embodiment 1, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the first conductive area 3 and the second conductive area 5 are separated by the insulating area 4, but the feet are prone to sweating, and sweat can conduct electricity. When sweat is adsorbed on the insulating area 4, the insulating effect of the insulating area 4 is affected, and a short circuit causes a fault. Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the insulating area 4 is connected to the conductive part 10 on one side close to the first conductive area 3 and the other side close to the second conductive area 5. The conductive part 10 can be a strip of conductive cloth extending from one side of the insole 1 to the other side. A hygroscopic layer 9 is arranged between the conductive parts 10 on both sides. A certain interval is arranged between the hygroscopic layer 9 and the conductive part 10. The function of the hygroscopic layer 9 is to absorb a certain amount of sweat. When the conductive parts 10 on both sides and the corresponding conductive areas are conductive due to sweat, the hygroscopic layer 9 can avoid direct conduction between the conductive areas on both sides. The insulating area 4 is arranged at the arch position. The connecting device 6 includes a movable rod 604, that is, a conductive component in the plug 603 is a movable rod 604, a coil tube 608 is fixed at the bottom of the slot 602, one end of the coil tube 608 is a groove 606, a slider 605 is arranged in the groove 606, the slider 605 is fixed to the movable rod 604, the slider 605 is connected to the bottom of the groove 606 by a spring 607, a coil is arranged in the coil tube 608, the movable rod 604 can be an iron core, and the electromagnetic force of the coil energized drives the movable rod 604 to move. In embodiment 1, a moving contact can be arranged at the end of the movable rod 604, the moving contact is connected to the wire 7, and the movable rod 604 is no longer used as a conductive component. When sweat wets the area between the first conductive area 3 and the second conductive area 5 and the conductive part 10, the coil is connected, and the first conductive area 3 and the second conductive area 5 will be disconnected. In order to maintain its disconnected state, a permanent magnet block can be arranged at the bottom of the groove 606. Of course, the connection can also be disconnected by the controller when the coil is energized. It should be noted that the conductive part 10 can be directly connected to the coil through the wire 7. When sweat wets it, a pathway is formed and the coil is energized to disconnect the circuit of the connecting device 6. A leakage sensor can also be connected between the two conductive parts 10. When leakage is detected, the controller controls the coil to be energized to disconnect it.
[0038] Reference Figure 4 As shown, embodiment 2 is basically the same as embodiment 1, except that the connection device 6 includes a conductive sheet 609, which is arranged in the jack, and the side of the conductive sheet 609 or the contact connected to the conductive sheet contacts the conductive component of the plug connector 601, that is, the plug 603, to realize circuit connection. Further, the side of the conductive sheet 609 is connected to the movable rod 604, and the movable rod 604 is connected to the slider 605, which moves in the groove 606. The slider 605 is connected to the coil tube 608 through a spring 607. The coil is arranged in the coil tube 608 and is sleeved on the outside of the movable rod 604. In this way, when the coil is energized, the movable rod 604 drives the conductive sheet 609 to move so that the conductive sheet 609 is disconnected from the conductive component of the plug connector 601. Similar to embodiment 1, the coil can be connected to the conductive part 10 to realize the coil energization when the insulating area is wetted by sweat, and a leakage sensor can also be connected to the conductive part 10, and the controller is used to energize the coil to realize the disconnection function.
