[0032] The soccer shoe for measuring force data in different regions of the present invention comprises:

[0033] Shoe body 1;

[0034] The bladder-type measuring unit 2 is provided in plurality and distributed in different areas of the shoe body 1 . The bladder-type measuring unit 2 includes a plurality of interconnected bladders 21 and a pressure sensor for measuring the overall pressure of the plurality of interconnected bladders 21 .

[0035] When using soccer shoes to kick a ball, the surface of the soccer ball squeezes the capsule 21 of the capsule-type measuring unit 2 in each area, and the pressure value in the capsule 21 will change. Then, the overall pressure signal of the capsule 21 in each area can be measured by the pressure sensor, and the pressure signal can be analyzed, and then the force data of each area of ​​the foot when kicking the ball can be measured. During soccer training, the force data measured by soccer shoes can help relevant personnel analyze and correct the position and force when kicking the ball, and provide reasonable suggestions and training plans for users. In addition, the capsule of the present invention can also play a buffering role to prevent the foot from being injured due to excessive impact force of the soccer ball.

[0036] In a specific implementation, the pressure signal can be transmitted to a data acquisition device, the conditioning unit in the data acquisition device converts the pressure signal into a conditioning signal, the conversion unit converts the conditioning signal into a digital signal, and the communication unit sends the digital signal to relevant personnel for analysis to measure the force data of each area of ​​the foot when kicking the ball.

[0037] In one embodiment, the multiple capsules 21 of the capsule-type measuring unit 2 are distributed in a dot matrix, and each capsule 21 is connected to each of the adjacent capsules 21 through a branch pipe 22. This design can, on the one hand, maintain the relative consistency of the deformation amount of each part of the capsule 21 after being subjected to force, and on the other hand, can make the capsule-type measuring unit 2 have a good buffering effect, and have a certain buffering and protective effect on the foot.

[0038] In one embodiment, in each of the capsule-type measuring units 2, the pressure sensor (for the sake of simplicity, not shown in the figure, the pressure sensor can use an existing device capable of measuring the pressure of pipeline fluid) is connected to the overall chamber formed by the plurality of capsules 21 through the main pipeline 23. In a specific implementation, the main pipeline 23 can be connected to one of the capsules 21 or to one of the branch pipelines 22, and both can realize that the pressure sensor is connected to the overall chamber formed by the plurality of capsules 21.

[0039] In one embodiment, the main pipeline 23 is provided with a fluid pump interface (for the sake of concise description, it is not shown in the figure. The fluid pump interface can use an existing common pump interface. When kicking a ball, the fluid pump interface is blocked). With this design, when necessary, the fluid pump can be connected through the fluid pump interface to fill and suck out the fluid from the capsules in each area, thereby changing the initial pressure inside the capsules in each area. Under different usage conditions, the internal pressure of the capsules in each area can be made to reach a predetermined state through the fluid pump to meet the needs of different people for catching, controlling and shooting the ball. When kicking a ball, the toes are most vulnerable to injury. The pressure of the capsule in the toe area can be set by the fluid pump, thereby preventing the toes from being injured by the excessive impact of the football, playing a role similar to a cushion.

[0040] In one embodiment, the shoe body 1 further includes a measuring unit base 3 that can be detachably wrapped around the outside of the shoe body 1, and the capsule-type measuring unit 2 is disposed on the measuring unit base 3. With this design, the capsule-type measuring unit 2 is carried on the measuring unit base 3, and is thus independent of the shoe body 1. When in use, the capsule-type measuring unit 2 can be easily peeled off the shoe body 1, so that the shoe body can be repeatedly disassembled and replaced as needed, thereby improving the utilization rate of the capsule-type measuring unit 2.

[0041] In one embodiment, the measuring unit base 3 includes a bottom plate 31 located at the inner layer and a capsule substrate 32 located at the outer layer, which are bonded to each other, and the capsule 21 and the connecting pipes between the capsules 21 (such as the branch pipe 22 and the main pipe 23 mentioned above) are integrally formed on the capsule substrate 32 and sealed by the bottom plate 31. With this design, there is no need to separately mold the capsule and the pipe, and the chambers of the capsule and the pipe can be directly formed on the capsule substrate 32, and then the chambers of the capsule and the pipe are sealed by the bottom plate 31, which is convenient for molding and manufacturing.

[0042] In one embodiment, the measuring unit base 3 is made of a flexible elastic material, such as a silicone material, which is convenient for forming a capsule, a branch pipe and a main pipe thereon, and is also convenient for sleeve installation and stripping of the shoe body. Of course, the present invention can also use other flexible elastic materials, as long as they can be formed and sleeved and wrapped outside the shoe body.

[0043] In one embodiment, the measuring unit base 3 does not include a sole portion, and its shape and size match the upper of the shoe body 1 .

[0044] In one embodiment, the capsule 21 is designed to protrude outwards. When disposed on the capsule substrate 32, it protrudes from the outer surface of the capsule substrate 32. The capsule 21 has various shapes, and may be cylindrical, hemispherical, semi-ellipsoidal, or a combination thereof, and the present invention does not impose any particular limitation thereto.

[0045] In one embodiment, the pressure sensors of the plurality of capsule-type measuring units 2 are all arranged at the heel or near the heel of the measuring unit base 3. This design can prevent the sensor from touching the football and affecting the normal kicking process and failing to measure data, and can also ensure the aesthetics of the football shoes. In a specific implementation, the outlet end of the main pipe 23 extends to the heel or near the heel and is connected to the pressure sensor.

[0046] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the soccer shoe provided with the capsule-type measurement unit 2 includes the toe area 11, the medial area 13, the instep area 15, and the medial instep area 17. After analysis, the above areas are places where the soccer ball is easily contacted when kicking, so they are more meaningful for research. In a specific implementation, the area of ​​the soccer shoe provided with the capsule-type measurement unit 2 also includes any one or more of the heel area 12, the lateral area 14, and the lateral instep area 16. These areas also have certain research significance and can be selected and set as needed.

[0047] The above regions also correspond to the corresponding regions of the foot. On the basis of providing the measuring unit base 3 , the capsule-type measuring units 2 of the above regions can be respectively provided in the corresponding regions of the measuring unit base 3 .

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
