[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a sports shoe with convenient automatic shoelace tightening and loosening function, comprising a shoe body and two shoelace tightening mechanisms;

[0006] The two shoelace tightening mechanisms are respectively arranged on two sides of the outer surface of the shoe body;

[0007] The structures of the two shoelace tightening mechanisms are the same, one of the shoelace tightening mechanisms comprises a fixing seat fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the shoe body, the outer surface of the fixing seat is transversely fixedly connected to a micro motor, the outer end of the output shaft of the micro motor is transversely rotatably connected to an internal hollow rotating column, the outer surface of the rotating column is provided with a plurality of slide grooves uniformly spaced through it along the circumferential direction of its cross section, the interiors of the plurality of slide grooves are respectively slidably connected to a plurality of tooth blocks along a plurality of radial directions of the rotating column, the interior of the rotating column is fixedly connected to an electric-controlled telescopic rod along its axial direction, the movable end of the electric-controlled telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a plurality of first connecting blocks respectively corresponding to the plurality of tooth blocks, the inner ends of the plurality of tooth blocks are fixedly connected to a second connecting block, and the corresponding plurality of first connecting blocks and the second connecting blocks are each hinged with a connecting rod;

[0008] The fixing seat is provided with a limiting ring structure matched with the plurality of tooth blocks.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting ring structure includes a fixing ring fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing seat and located on the outside of the rotating column, a plurality of third connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the interior of the fixing ring, the inner ends of the plurality of third connecting blocks are all laterally rotationally connected to the limiting strips, and a spring is fixedly connected between the outer surfaces of the plurality of limiting strips and the inner surface of the fixing ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the central axes of the fixing ring and the rotating column are located on the same straight line.

[0011] Furthermore, both ends of the outer surface of the rotating column are fixedly connected to limit plates.

[0012] Furthermore, a protective shell is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing seat and located outside the micro motor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1-5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a sports shoe with convenient automatic shoelace tightening and loosening function, comprising a shoe body 1 and two shoelace tightening mechanisms 2;

[0027] Two shoelace tightening mechanisms 2 are respectively arranged on two sides of the outer surface of the shoe body 1;

[0028] The structures of the two shoelace tightening mechanisms 2 are the same, one of the shoelace tightening mechanisms 2 includes a fixing seat 21 fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the shoe body 1, a micro motor 22 is transversely fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing seat 21, the outer end of the output shaft of the micro motor 22 is transversely rotatably connected to an internal hollow rotating column 23, the outer surface of the rotating column 23 is evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of its cross section through a plurality of slide grooves, the interior of the plurality of slide grooves is respectively slidably connected to a plurality of tooth blocks 24 along a plurality of radial directions of the rotating column 23, the interior of the rotating column 23 is fixedly connected to an electric control telescopic rod 25 along its axial direction, the movable end of the electric control telescopic rod 25 is fixedly connected to a plurality of first connecting blocks 26 corresponding to the plurality of tooth blocks 24, the inner ends of the plurality of tooth blocks 24 are all fixedly connected to second connecting blocks 27, and connecting rods 28 are hinged between the corresponding plurality of first connecting blocks 26 and second connecting blocks 27;

[0029] A limiting ring structure matched with the plurality of tooth blocks 24 is disposed on the fixing seat 21 .

[0030] The two ends of the shoelace of the shoe body 1 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the rotating columns 23 of the two shoelace tightening mechanisms 2 .

[0031] When the sports shoe is worn, the two shoelaces can be tightened by the two shoelace tightening mechanisms 2, and there is no need for people to tie the shoelaces manually. In actual use, after pressing the tightening button, the micro motor 22 starts to run, and when its output shaft rotates, the output shaft will drive the rotating column 23 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating column 23, the shoelaces fixedly connected to its outer surface can be wound up. As it continues to rotate, the distance of the wound shoelaces will gradually increase until the shoelaces are completely tightened, so people do not need to manually tie the shoelaces, which improves the convenience of people wearing sports shoes. In addition, there will be no long shoelaces directly scattered outside, and people do not have to worry about being tripped by carrying.

[0032] The limiting ring structure includes a fixing ring 29 which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing seat 21 and is located on the outer side of the rotating column 23. A plurality of third connecting blocks 210 are fixedly connected to the interior of the fixing ring 29. The inner ends of the plurality of third connecting blocks 210 are all laterally rotatingly connected to the limiting strips 211. A spring 212 is fixedly connected between the outer surfaces of the plurality of limiting strips 211 and the inner surface of the fixing ring 29.

[0033] The central axes of the fixing ring 29 and the rotating column 23 are located on the same straight line.

[0034] In the process of tightening the shoelaces, the multiple tooth blocks 24 arranged inside the rotating column 23 remain in a state of being fully extended outward, one side of the outer end of the multiple tooth blocks 24 is an inclined surface, and the inclination angle of the multiple limit strips 211 when not under force is adapted to the angle of the inclined surface of the multiple tooth blocks 24, so that the multiple tooth blocks 24 and the multiple limit strips 211 inside the fixing ring 29 cooperate to form a ratchet-like structure, through which the rotating column 23 can only rotate in one direction, and the tightened shoelaces on the outer surface of the rotating column 23 can be prevented. When the shoelaces need to be loosened again, the electrically-controlled telescopic rod 25 inside the rotating column 23 is controlled to contract, thereby driving one end of the plurality of connecting rods 28 to move, and the other end of the plurality of connecting rods 28 to move toward the central axis of the rotating column 23, thereby driving the plurality of tooth blocks 24 to move toward the central axis of the rotating column 23 until the outer ends of the plurality of tooth blocks 24 are retracted into the interior of the rotating column 23. At this time, the plurality of tooth blocks 24 are no longer restricted by the plurality of limit strips 211, and the rotation of the rotating column 23 is not restricted, so that the tightened shoelaces can be loosened.

[0035] Both ends of the outer surface of the rotating column 23 are fixedly connected to the limiting disk 213 .

[0036] The limiting plate 213 limits the tightened shoelaces, and the two limiting plates 213 can limit the tightened shoelaces of the structure between the two limiting plates 213, so that the tightened shoelaces will always remain wound around the surface of the rotating column 23 and will not move to the outside of the rotating column 23, so that the tightened shoelaces will not slip off without human operation, thereby ensuring the tightening effect of the structure on the shoelaces.

[0037] A protective shell 214 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing base 21 and located outside the micro motor 22 .

[0038] The protective shell 214 is installed on the outer surface of the fixing base 21 by means of a screw structure. The fixing base 21 and the protective shell 214 are combined to form a frame which is open at both ends and matched with the outer contour of the micro motor 22. The micro motor 22 can be limited and fixed by the frame, while the micro motor 22 can be protected to a certain extent, and the integrity of the overall outer tube of the mechanism can be improved, thereby enhancing the aesthetics.

[0039] Two control modules 3 corresponding to the two shoelace tightening mechanisms 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the shoe body 1 , and the two control modules 3 are respectively connected to the two shoelace tightening mechanisms 2 by signals.

[0040] The control module 3 is provided with a gear block control key 5 and a motor control key 6 .

[0041] The control module 3 is provided with a controller, a gear block control key 5 and a motor control key 6. The gear block control key 5 and the motor control key 6 respectively control the operation of the electric telescopic rod 25 and the micro motor 22. By pressing the two keys, the extension and contraction of the electric telescopic rod 25 and the operation of the micro motor 22 can be controlled respectively, thereby improving the convenience of the shoe.

[0042] A plurality of elastic plates 4 with their tops tilted outwards are vertically fixedly connected to both sides of the interior of the shoe body 1 .

[0043] The multiple elastic plates 4 enable the structures on both sides of the shoe body 1 to always maintain a tendency to move outward. When the shoelaces are tightened, the shoe body 1 can completely wrap the user's feet. When the shoelaces are loosened, under the action of the multiple elastic plates 4, the two sides of the shoe body 1 directly stretch outward, making it convenient for people to take off their shoes.

[0044] A plurality of breathable meshes are arranged on the outer side of the shoe body 1 .

[0045] The multiple breathable nets play a role in ventilation. When people exercise, the outside air will enter the interior of the shoe body 1 through the multiple breathable nets on both sides of the shoe body 1 and come into contact with the skin of the people's feet, accelerating the evaporation of sweat and cooling the feet of people, thereby improving the feeling of people wearing the sports shoes when exercising.

[0046] The number of the limiting strips 211 in the limiting ring structure is the same as the number of the gear blocks 24 , and the plurality of limiting strips 211 are evenly spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the fixing ring 29 .

[0047] The same number of the limiting strips 211 and the tooth blocks 24 makes the ratchet structure composed of the two more stable and strong. Even after being used for a long time, the structure will not easily slip off or have other problems, thereby improving the service life of the sports shoes.

[0048] When the tightening mechanism 2 of the sports shoe is actually used, the multiple tooth blocks 24 arranged inside the rotating column 23 are all kept in a state of being fully extended outward, one side of the outer end of the multiple tooth blocks 24 is an inclined surface, and the inclination angle of the multiple limit strips 211 when not under force is adapted to the angle of the inclined surface of the multiple tooth blocks 24, so that the multiple tooth blocks 24 and the multiple limit strips 211 inside the fixing ring 29 cooperate to form a ratchet-like structure, through which the rotating column 23 can be rotated only in one direction, and the shoelaces tightened on the outer surface of the rotating column 23 can be prevented from loosening again. When the shoelaces need to be loosened, the electric-controlled telescopic rod 25 inside the rotating column 23 is controlled to contract, driving one end of the multiple connecting rods 28 to move, and the other end of the multiple connecting rods 28 will move toward the central axis direction of the rotating column 23, so that The plurality of tooth blocks 24 can be driven to move toward the central axis direction of the rotating column 23 until the outer ends of the plurality of tooth blocks 24 are retracted into the interior of the rotating column 23. At this time, the plurality of tooth blocks 24 are no longer restricted by the plurality of limit strips 211, and the rotation of the rotating column 23 will not be restricted, so the tightened shoelaces can be loosened. When the sports shoes are worn, the two shoelaces can be tightened by the two shoelace tightening mechanisms 2, and there is no need for people to manually tie the shoelaces. In actual use, after pressing the tightening button, the micro motor 22 starts to run, and its rotation will drive the rotating column 23 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating column 23, the shoelaces can be retracted until the shoelaces are completely tightened, thereby improving the convenience of people wearing sports shoes, and there will be no long shoelaces directly scattered outside, so people do not have to worry about being tripped by carrying.
