Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of massage shoe technology, specifically, it relates to a magnetically controlled massage shoe and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of massage shoe technology, users have placed higher demands on the functionality and convenience of massage shoes. In existing technologies, massage shoes typically achieve foot massage functions through mechanical transmission, airbag drive, or magnetic therapy, but they still have certain shortcomings in terms of control methods and user experience. In particular, when activating the massage mode, manual operation or connection with external devices is required, which increases the user's operational burden.

[0003] A search revealed a patent for a smart massage shoe with publication number CN104256999A. This patent uses a lifting and lowering power device to drive massage columns up and down, thereby massaging the soles of the feet. The position of the massage columns can be adjusted by regulating the power device to accommodate different foot sizes. Furthermore, this technical solution incorporates airbags, which are inflated by an electric inflation device to adapt the shoe's internal space to different foot sizes and adjust the massage intensity. However, in this technical solution, activating the massage mode requires the user to manually operate a button on the shoe or control it via Bluetooth connection to a mobile phone. These operations are cumbersome and inconvenient when the user is fatigued. Moreover, this technical solution relies on an electric inflation device and a lifting and lowering power device, which may increase the overall weight and energy consumption of the shoe, affecting wearing comfort and battery life.

[0004] A search revealed a massage insole and massage shoes with publication number CN114794657A. This patent utilizes an airbag and massage head within the massage insole. The user's movement applies external force to the airbag, causing fluid to flow directionally from the air supply area to the receiving area, thus massaging acupoints on the soles of the feet. This technical solution requires no additional power source, offering high space utilization and applicability. However, this solution also suffers from inconvenience in activating the massage mode; users need to manually operate it or use external devices to start the massage function, increasing complexity. Furthermore, the airbag structure in this solution has limited precision in controlling fluid flow, potentially leading to uneven massage intensity and affecting the massage effect.

[0005] The aforementioned issues indicate that existing massage shoes have significant room for improvement in their control mechanisms, particularly regarding ease of operation when activating massage mode. Therefore, there is an urgent need for massage shoes that require no manual operation or external devices from the user, thus meeting users' demands for efficient and convenient massage shoes. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a magnetically controlled massage shoe and its control method to solve the problem of inconvenient operation of massage shoes in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A magnetically controlled massage shoe is provided, comprising: a first shoe body including a first magnet, and electrically connected to a first magnetic sensor, a first control unit, and a first massage unit; a second shoe body including a second magnet, and electrically connected to a second magnetic sensor, a second control unit, and a second massage unit; the first massage unit and the second massage unit are used to massage the soles of a user's feet. The first magnet and the second magnetic sensor are correspondingly arranged, and the second magnet and the first magnetic sensor are correspondingly arranged. When the opposite sidewalls of the first shoe body and the second shoe body are in contact, the first control unit controls the massage state of the first massage unit according to a first magnetic induction signal from the first magnetic sensor, and the second control unit controls the massage state of the second massage unit according to a second magnetic induction signal from the second magnetic sensor. The massage state includes turning the massage unit on and off, and switching between different massage modes (such as a gentle pulse mode, a deep kneading mode, and an acupoint stimulation mode).

[0009] Preferably, both the first and second shoe bodies are provided with a foolproof unit, which is electrically connected to the first control unit and the second control unit, respectively. That is, the foolproof unit of the first shoe body is electrically connected to the first control unit, and the foolproof unit of the second shoe body is electrically connected to the second control unit. Before acquiring the first magnetic induction signal or the second magnetic induction signal, it is determined whether an activation signal of the foolproof unit has been received; if not received, subsequent steps are not executed.

[0010] Preferably, the foolproof unit includes a sensor, a conductive element, and a detection electrode connected in sequence. The sensor is electrically connected to the first control unit and the second control unit, respectively. When the user wears the massage shoe, the user's foot is close to the detection electrode, so that the sensor of the foolproof unit of the first shoe body sends an activation signal to the first control unit. The first control unit only controls the massage state of the first massage unit according to the first magnetic induction signal after receiving the activation signal.

[0011] Preferably, both the first shoe body and the second shoe body are provided with a power supply unit. The magnetic massage shoe also includes a wireless charging unit that is detachably connected to the first shoe body or the second shoe body. When the wireless charging unit is arranged opposite to the power supply unit, it charges the power supply unit.

[0012] Preferably, both the first shoe body and the second shoe body are provided with a sole, and the power supply unit is disposed inside the sole and located at the heel; the wireless charging unit includes a fixing structure and a charging transmitting coil disposed on the fixing structure, the fixing structure can be clamped on the side wall of the sole to arrange the charging transmitting coil opposite to the charging receiving coil of the power supply unit.

[0013] Preferably, the fixing structure is elastic, and the open end of the fixing structure is provided with a positioning pin, and the side wall of the shoe sole is provided with a positioning groove that cooperates with the positioning pin.

[0014] Preferably, the first magnetic sensor, the first control unit, the first massage unit, the second magnetic sensor, the second control unit, the second massage unit, and the foolproof unit are all electrically connected to the power supply unit.

[0015] Preferably, both the first shoe body and the second shoe body are provided with a starting unit and a vibrator electrically connected to the power supply unit. When the starting unit turns the power supply unit on or off, the vibrator vibrates to alert the user.

[0016] Preferably, the starting unit includes a third magnet and a third magnetic sensor, the third magnet is disposed on the upper surface of the sole, the third magnetic sensor is disposed inside the sole, and the third magnetic sensor is electrically connected to the power supply unit.

[0017] Preferably, both the first massage unit and the second massage unit include an airbag, which is disposed on the upper surface of the sole of the shoe to massage the user's feet.

[0018] The present invention also provides a massage control method for a magnetically controlled massage shoe, comprising: acquiring a first magnetic induction signal or a second magnetic induction signal; if the duration of continuously acquiring the first magnetic induction signal is a first preset duration, then turning on or off a first massage unit; if the duration of continuously acquiring the second magnetic induction signal is a first preset duration, then turning on or off a second massage unit.

[0019] Preferably, the massage control method further includes: after the first massage unit is turned on, if the duration for which the first magnetic induction signal is continuously acquired is a second preset duration, then the massage mode of the first massage unit is switched; after the second massage unit is turned on, if the duration for which the second magnetic induction signal is continuously acquired is a second preset duration, then the massage mode of the second massage unit is switched.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] (1) The present invention controls the state of the massage unit when the shoe body is in contact with the first magnet of the first shoe body and the second magnetic sensor of the second shoe body, and the second magnet of the second shoe body and the first magnetic sensor of the first shoe body are correspondingly set. This simplifies the operation process of the massage shoe and improves the user experience.

[0022] (2) The present invention is equipped with a foolproof unit that only sends an activation signal when the user is wearing massage shoes, ensuring that the massage function is used in appropriate scenarios, thereby enhancing the safety and rationality of use.

[0023] (3) The present invention is equipped with a detachable wireless charging unit, which can charge the power supply unit inside the shoe, thereby improving the convenience of use of the product.

[0024] (4) By continuously acquiring different preset durations of magnetic induction signals, the present invention realizes the opening, closing or mode switching of the massage unit, which is intuitive and flexible and meets the diverse needs of users.

[0025] In summary, this invention utilizes the magnetic induction signal generated by the contact between the opposite sidewalls of the left and right shoes, and combines this signal duration with the determination of the duration of the signal to realize the activation, deactivation, and mode switching of the massage function, greatly simplifying operation. Unlike traditional methods that require bending over to manually press buttons or connecting via a mobile app, this invention allows users to intuitively and conveniently complete the operation simply by the slight contact between the two shoes for a preset duration while wearing the shoes. This interaction method, naturally integrated with the wearing behavior, effectively avoids accidental touches and requires no visual attention or additional equipment, significantly improving ease of use, immediacy, and user experience.

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, some embodiments of this application provide a magnetically controlled massage shoe, including a first shoe body 1 and a second shoe body 2, where the first shoe body 1 is the left shoe and the second shoe body 2 is the right shoe. The first shoe body 1 includes a first magnet 11, a first magnetic sensor 12, a first control unit 13, and a first massage unit. The first magnetic sensor 12, the first control unit 13, and the first massage unit are electrically connected, enabling the first control unit 13 to receive a first magnetic induction signal emitted by the first magnetic sensor 12 and to issue a first massage command to the first massage unit. The second shoe body 2 includes a second magnet 21, a second magnetic sensor 22, a second control unit 23, and a second massage unit. The second magnetic sensor 22, the second control unit 23, and the second massage unit are electrically connected, enabling the second control unit 23 to receive a second magnetic induction signal emitted by the second magnetic sensor 22 and to issue a second massage command to the second massage unit.

[0034] A first magnet 11 is correspondingly disposed with a second magnetic sensor 22. The second magnetic sensor 22 is used to sense the first magnet 11 to emit a second magnetic induction signal. A second magnet 21 is correspondingly disposed with a first magnetic sensor 12. The first magnetic sensor 12 is used to sense the second magnet 21 to emit a first magnetic induction signal. Specifically, the first magnet, the second magnet, the first magnetic sensor, and the second magnetic sensor are respectively disposed inside the heels of the left and right shoes. For example, the first magnet and the first magnetic sensor are disposed inside the heel of the left shoe near the right edge, about 0.5 to 2 cm from the edge. The magnetic sensor is about 1 to 5 cm away from the magnet, located near the toe. Correspondingly, the second magnet and the second magnetic sensor are disposed inside the heel of the right shoe near the left edge, about 0.5 to 2 cm from the edge. The magnetic sensor is about 1 to 5 cm away from the magnet, located near the toe. The preferred magnet is a neodymium iron boron cylindrical permanent magnet, with a diameter of approximately 2-10 mm and a height of approximately 1-20 mm. The preferred magnetic sensor is a reed switch, with a diameter of approximately 1-15 mm and a length of approximately 5-30 mm. The principle for setting the sensitivity of the magnetic sensors is that the two magnetic sensors generate an action signal when the inner edges of the heels of the left and right shoes just touch.

[0035] When the first magnet 11 comes into contact with the second magnetic sensor 22, the second magnetic sensor 22 emits a second magnetic induction signal; when the second magnet 21 comes into contact with the first magnetic sensor 12, the first magnetic sensor 12 emits a first magnetic induction signal. The first control unit 13 controls the massage state of the first massage unit according to the first magnetic induction signal of the first magnetic sensor 12, and the second control unit 23 controls the massage state of the second massage unit according to the second magnetic induction signal of the second magnetic sensor 22, thereby enabling the user to turn the massage mode on or off and adjust the massage intensity, which helps to simplify the operation process of the massage shoes and improve the user experience.

[0036] It should be noted that the first shoe body 1 and the second shoe body 2 are the left shoe and the right shoe that appear as a pair in daily life. The first magnet 11, the first magnetic sensor 12, the second magnet 21, and the second magnetic sensor 22 are respectively set on the opposite side of the left shoe and the right shoe.

[0037] For example, the first magnet 11 and the second magnet 21 are magnetic, including but not limited to permanent magnets, and the material can be neodymium iron boron, ferrite, etc., preferably neodymium iron boron. The first magnetic sensor 12 and the second magnetic sensor 22 can be magnetically sensitive elements such as reed switches and Hall switches, preferably reed switches.

[0038] For example, the first control unit 13 and the second control unit 23 can be configured as CPU controllers.

[0039] Specifically, both the first shoe body 1 and the second shoe body 2 are provided with connected soles 24 and uppers 25. The first magnet 11, the first magnetic sensor 12, the first control unit 13 and the first massage unit are all disposed inside the sole 24 of the first shoe body 1, and the second magnet 21, the second magnetic sensor 22, the second control unit 23 and the second massage unit are all disposed inside the sole 24 of the second shoe body 2. The first magnet 11, the first magnetic sensor 12, the second magnet 21 and the second magnetic sensor 22 are all disposed on the side wall near the sole 24, so that the first magnetic sensor 12 can sensitively sense the second magnet 21 and the second magnetic sensor 22 can sensitively sense the first magnet 11.

[0040] In some embodiments, the massage shoes of this application are equipped with a start-up unit 15 electrically connected to the power supply unit 14 at the time of manufacture, so that the power supply unit 14 is in a turned-off state before the user uses the massage shoes, which helps to save energy and also helps to avoid misoperation of the massage shoes during transportation. The first shoe body 1 and the second shoe body 2 are also equipped with a vibrator 16 electrically connected to the power supply unit 14. When the start-up unit 15 turns the power supply unit 14 on or off, the vibrator 16 starts vibrating to alert the user. The vibrator 16 vibrates for only a few seconds and then stops, without continuous vibration.

[0041] For example, the vibrator 16 is disposed inside the sole 24.

[0042] Specifically, the activation unit 15 includes a correspondingly configured third magnet 151 and a third magnetic sensor 152. The activation unit is used to turn the power supply unit on or off. The third magnet 151 is attached to the upper surface of the sole 24, and the third magnetic sensor 152 is installed inside the sole 24 and electrically connected to the power supply unit 14. When the third magnet 151 is attached to the upper surface of the sole 24, the third magnetic sensor 152 is in an off state, and the power supply unit 14 is electrically off. When the user removes the third magnet 151 from the massage shoe, the third magnetic sensor 152 is in a closed state, turning on the power supply unit 14 and allowing it to operate normally.

[0043] For example, the third magnet 151 can be a magnetic component such as a permanent magnet; the third magnetic sensor 152 can be a magnetically sensitive element such as a reed switch or a Hall switch.

[0044] In some embodiments, to prevent the first and / or second massage units of the massage shoes from being activated when the user is not wearing the massage shoes of this application, both the first shoe body 1 and the second shoe body 2 are provided with a foolproof unit 17. The foolproof unit 17 is electrically connected to the first control unit 13 and the second control unit 23 respectively, to prevent the first control unit 13 and / or the second control unit 23 from malfunctioning when the first shoe body 1 and the second shoe body 2 come into contact.

[0045] Specifically, the foolproof unit 17 includes a sensor 171, a conductive element 172, and a detection electrode 173 connected in sequence. The sensor 171 of the first shoe body 1 is electrically connected to the first control unit 13, and the sensor 171 of the second shoe body 2 is electrically connected to the second control unit 23. When the user wears the massage shoe, the user's foot approaches the detection electrode 173, generating electrostatic induction, which is transmitted to the sensor 171 through the conductive element 172. The sensor 171 sends an activation signal to the first control unit 13 or the second control unit 23 to enable the first control unit 13 or the second control unit 23 to activate normally, ensuring that the massage shoe can perform massage operations normally. Specifically, the foolproof unit adopts the capacitive touch sensing principle. The detection electrode 173 and the sensing terminal of the sensor 171 form a coupling capacitor through the elastic conductive element 172. When the sole of the human foot approaches, the equivalent capacitance of the human body changes the inherent charge distribution of the detection electrode. The capacitance detection chip (such as a dedicated touch IC) in the sensor 171 detects that the capacitance change value exceeds a preset threshold, thereby determining that the shoe is in a wearing state. The sensor is preferably a capacitive sensor, the conductive element 172 is a stainless steel spring, and the electrode is a thin stainless steel sheet with a thickness of approximately 0.1~1mm and a size of 1x1~10x10mm. The preferred sensitive distance between the foot and the electrode is 1~5mm. The foolproof unit is used to send an activation signal to the corresponding control unit when the user is wearing the massage shoe to prevent accidental triggering when not wearing it.

[0046] For example, sensor 171, used to receive electrostatic induction transmitted via conductive member 172 and detection electrode 173, can be configured as an electrostatic sensor 171. The conductive member 172 is provided both to electrically connect sensor 171 and detection electrode 173 and to support sensor 171 and detection electrode 173. Therefore, the conductive member 172 can be configured as an elastic element made of a conductive metallic material, such as a metal spring.

[0047] It should be noted that the foolproof unit 17 is located inside the sole 24, and the detection electrode 173 is located facing the user's foot.

[0048] In some embodiments, both the first massage unit and the second massage unit include an airbag 18, which is disposed on the upper surface of the sole 24 for massaging the user's foot. The first and second massage units also include other structural components that cooperate with the airbag 18 to assist the first control unit 13 or the second control unit 23 in controlling the inflation and deflation of the airbag 18. Specifically, the airbag is made of TPU or silicone material, and its shape is a whole airbag plus local small airbags. The whole airbag is an airbag covering the entire sole of the foot, while the local airbags are small acupoint airbags superimposed on the whole airbag. The airbag pressure range is 10~80kPa, with the air pressure alternating between 0 and the maximum value, with a cycle of 2~200s. The inflation element is a miniature air pump, and the air path control is a miniature solenoid valve. The outlet of the miniature air pump is connected to the airbag inlet via an air tube, and the miniature solenoid valve is disposed at the air tube or airbag exhaust end. The control unit controls the start and stop of the air pump and the opening and closing of the solenoid valve to realize the inflation and deflation of the airbag. The inflation and deflation of the airbag 18 can be achieved using existing technology and will not be elaborated here. The first / second control unit of this invention, based on the first / second magnetic induction signal, precisely controls the opening / closing and duration of the micro-air pump and micro-solenoid valve to inflate and deflate the airbag, thereby creating different "massage states" and "massage modes." Specifically, the "massage modes" may include, but are not limited to, the following:

[0049] 1) Gentle Pulse Mode: The air pump operates at a lower frequency, such as 0.5Hz, and the solenoid valve opens for a shorter time, such as 0.1s, so that the airbag pressure fluctuates gently in a periodic manner within the range of 10-30kPa, simulating gentle pressing.

[0050] 2) Deep kneading mode: The air pump operates at a medium frequency, such as 1Hz, and the solenoid valve opens for a relatively long time, such as 0.5s. The airbag pressure alternates between rising and falling steadily within the range of 30-60kPa. This, combined with the coordinated action of the overall airbag and the local small airbags, simulates deep kneading.

[0051] 3) Acupoint stimulation mode: For preset local small airbags corresponding to specific acupoints, the air pump operates at a high frequency, such as 2Hz, and the solenoid valve precisely controls the rapid inflation and deflation of the specific small airbags, with pressure reaching 60-80kPa, to achieve targeted acupoint pressure stimulation.

[0052] When mode switching is achieved by continuously acquiring magnetic induction signals for a certain duration, the control unit will cycle through a preset sequence. For example, it may switch from gentle pulse mode to deep kneading mode, and then to acupoint stimulation mode. Specific parameters for each mode, such as air pressure range, inflation / deflation rate, frequency, and duration of action, can be preset and adjusted by the control unit's internal program or an external user interface. The specific control logic and circuit implementation can be achieved using existing microcontroller programming technology, and adjusted in real time through sensor feedback.

[0053] In some embodiments, to meet the power requirements of the internal electrical components of the first shoe body 1 and the second shoe body 2, both the first shoe body 1 and the second shoe body 2 are provided with a power supply unit 14. A wireless charging unit 3 is also configured to be detachably connected to the first shoe body 1 or the second shoe body 2. When the wireless charging unit 3 is connected to the first shoe body 1 or the second shoe body 2, the wireless charging unit 3 is positioned opposite to the power supply unit 14 so that the wireless charging unit 3 charges the power supply unit 14. The wireless charging unit adopts mature technologies and products available on the market, such as wireless charging technology for mobile phones. The charging receiving coil 141 is fixed tightly against the inner surface of the side wall of the sole, and a thinning area is provided at the corresponding position on the side wall to reduce magnetic loss. The fixing structure 31 adopts a contoured arc design, so that after the positioning pin 311 is inserted into the groove, the axis of the transmitting coil 32 on its inner side coincides with the axis of the receiving coil 141, ensuring coupling efficiency.

[0054] Specifically, the power supply unit 14 is installed inside the sole 24 and located at the heel, and includes a charging receiving coil 141; the wireless charging unit 3 includes a fixing structure 31 and a charging transmitting coil 32 mounted on the fixing structure 31. When the power supply unit 14 needs to be charged, the fixing structure 31 is clamped to the side wall of the sole 24, so that the charging transmitting coil 32 on the fixing structure 31 is positioned opposite to the charging receiving coil 141, thereby enabling the wireless charging unit 3 to charge the power supply unit 14.

[0055] For example, the fixing structure 31 is elastic, allowing it to be clamped onto the sidewall of the sole 24 and also removed from it. The opening end of the fixing structure 31 is provided with a positioning pin 311, and the sidewall of the sole 24 is provided with a positioning groove 241 that mates with the positioning pin 311. When the fixing structure 31 is clamped onto the sidewall of the sole 24, the positioning pin 311 is located within the positioning groove 241, thus limiting the position of the fixing structure 31.

[0056] Specifically, the fixing structure 31 can be designed to mimic the shape of the heel of the first shoe body 1 or the second shoe body 2, forming a U-shaped structure so that the fixing structure 31 can be clamped onto the side wall of the heel, allowing the charging transmitting coil 32 and the charging receiving coil 141 to be positioned opposite each other. When the fixing structure 31 is clamped onto the side wall of the heel, the distance between the charging transmitting coil 32 and the charging receiving coil 141 is maintained at a distance that allows the wireless charging unit 3 to charge the power supply unit 14. After the power supply unit 14 is turned on, the control unit monitors the first / second magnetic induction signal and the foolproof unit signal in real time. If no change in the above signals is detected within a preset time (e.g., 10 minutes), the control unit controls the system to enter a low-power sleep mode; when the magnetic induction signal or the foolproof signal is detected again, the system is woken up by interruption.

[0057] It should be noted that the first magnetic sensor 12, the first control unit 13, the first massage unit, the second magnetic sensor 22, the second control unit 23, the second massage unit, and the foolproof unit 17 are electrically connected to the power supply unit 14 to meet its power requirements.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first shoe body 1 and the second shoe body 2 are further provided with a display window 26, which is located on the side wall of the sole 24. The display window 26 contains multiple indicator lights, each with a different purpose, such as displaying the working status of the massage shoe or the charging status of the power supply unit 14. The display window 26 can be located on two opposite sides of the first shoe body 1 and the second shoe body 2.

[0059] In some embodiments, an installation box may be embedded inside the sole 24 of the first shoe body 1 and the second shoe body 2. The first control unit 13, the second control unit 23, the foolproof unit 17, and the third magnetic sensor 152 are all disposed inside the installation box to protect the aforementioned components.

[0060] In summary, the magnetically controlled massage shoe provided by the present invention features a first magnet on the first shoe body corresponding to a second magnetic sensor on the second shoe body, and a second magnet on the second shoe body corresponding to a first magnetic sensor on the first shoe body. By bringing the first and second shoe bodies into contact, the first control unit can control the massage state of the first massage unit according to the first magnetic induction signal of the first magnetic sensor, and the second control unit can control the massage state of the second massage unit according to the second magnetic induction signal of the second magnetic sensor. This facilitates the user in turning the massage mode on or off and adjusting the massage intensity, simplifying the operation of the massage shoe and improving the user experience.

[0061] This application also provides a massage control method for magnetically controlled massage shoes, including steps S110 to S120, which are described in detail below:

[0062] Step S110: Obtain the first magnetic induction signal or the second magnetic induction signal.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the first shoe body 1 and the second shoe body 2 come into contact, the first magnet 11 comes into contact with the second magnetic sensor 22, and the second magnet 21 comes into contact with the first magnetic sensor 12. At this time, the first magnetic sensor 12 emits a first magnetic induction signal, and the second magnetic sensor 22 emits a second magnetic induction signal. The first control unit 13 receives the first magnetic induction signal, and the second control unit 23 receives the second magnetic induction signal.

[0064] Step S120: If the duration of continuously acquiring the first magnetic induction signal is a first preset duration, then the first massage unit is turned on or off. The first preset duration is 1-3 seconds (for turning on / off), and the second preset duration is 3-5 seconds (for switching modes).

[0065] In some embodiments, when the duration for which the first control unit 13 continuously receives the first magnetic induction signal reaches a first preset duration, the first control unit 13 controls the first massage unit to start massaging. When the first control unit 13's reception of the first magnetic induction signal is interrupted, when the duration for which the first control unit 13 continuously receives the first magnetic induction signal reaches the first preset duration again, the first control unit 13 controls the first massage unit to stop massaging.
