Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shoes, in particular to a novel playable music-making shoe. Background Art
[0002] Shoes are an indispensable necessity in daily life. There are a wide variety of types on the market due to different functions and appearances. With the continuous improvement and development of functional shoes, people's pursuit of shoes is no longer satisfied with the comfort of wearing and foot protection, and the requirements for the entertainment, beauty and fun of shoes are getting higher and higher. At present, musical shoes are widely loved by consumers. Musical shoes usually have a pressure-triggered switch and a control circuit unit on the sole. The control circuit unit is provided with a storage unit storing music tracks. The pressure-triggered switch will be triggered during walking, and the control circuit will automatically play the music tracks when receiving the start signal, which is entertaining; in order to improve the aesthetics, the musical shoes are also set to use a transparent material sole, and a colored LED light group is laid in the sole. The control circuit unit controls the LED light group to flash in combination with music to achieve a gorgeous lighting effect. However, the aforementioned musical shoes are only started by simple stepping, and only the stored music is played, which has low controllability, lacks the creative fun of music, low game fun, and low practicality. For this purpose, our company has developed a playable music shoe (i.e., Chinese invention patent: CN202011388701.9, a playable music shoe), which includes a sole and a mobile terminal. Pressure sensors are respectively arranged at different positions of the sole. During use, the sole of the foot steps on the elastic plate of the upper playing hole, the square part of the elastic plate is deformed downward, and the striking column on the lower surface of the square part moves downward, overcoming the elastic force of the spring member, and the striking column sinks and presses down the corresponding pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is pressurized and transmits the pressure signal to the controller. The controller controls the conversion of the received pressure signal into the corresponding music beat. By continuously stepping on the elastic plate of the playing hole at different positions, that is, the pressure sensors at different positions are pressed, continuous different syllable beats can be generated to form a self-created song. However, this structure is limited by the single collection method of the pressure sensor, which makes the arrangement of the music shoe relatively single when playing and making music, and it is impossible to effectively play and make music with more different timbres.

At the same time, the playable music-making shoes are different from conventional music shoes. They can not only play music but also play and create music, emit different music, have high controllability, high fun in music-making, and good game entertainment. Moreover, when stepping on and playing, the playable music-making shoes do not directly apply pressure to the pressure sensor but pass through the elastic plate structure. The elastic plate structure has a spring energy storage feedback effect. The spring member can effectively feedback the stepping feeling during playing directly to the foot, giving the foot a sense of memory, enhancing the sensory experience of stepping on and playing, clearly feeling whether the stepping on and playing is successful, clearly determining what kind of stepping feeling can achieve the playing effect, facilitating the foot to play and control and practice, improving the accuracy of stepping on and playing. And the stepping force is dispersed through the energy storage of the spring member, which can avoid the damage phenomenon caused by excessive stepping force to the pressure sensor. Therefore, the playable music-making shoes effectively avoid the problems of excessive force causing component damage, insufficient force causing sensing failure, and low sensory experience of stepping on and playing resulting in false stepping and excessive force in directly applying pressure to the pressure sensor in the prior art, and can be widely promoted and applied.

[0022] Step-shaped perforations 21 are respectively provided on the middle sole 2 at positions corresponding to the respective pressure sensors. The step-shaped perforations penetrate the upper and lower surfaces of the middle sole. The step-shaped perforations include an upper perforation and a lower perforation. The aperture of the upper perforation is larger than the aperture of the lower perforation, and a step boss 22 is formed between the upper perforation and the lower perforation;
[0023] Playing holes 11 are respectively provided on the upper sole 1 at positions corresponding to the step-shaped perforations. The playing holes are square holes penetrating the upper and lower surfaces of the upper sole. A side groove 12 is formed on the edge of the playing hole 11. The cross-section of the side groove 12 is arc-shaped;

[0026] The controller is turned on by manually controlling the switch, and the APP client searches for Bluetooth and wirelessly docks with the sole controller. Songs can be selected and set through the APP client, and the controller controls only song playback; alternatively, the playing mode can be set through the APP client. When entering the stepping and playing mode, the foot steps on the elastic plate of the playing hole, the square portion of the elastic plate sinks, the knocking column on the lower surface of the square portion moves downward, overcoming the elastic force of the spring member, and the knocking column sinks and presses the corresponding pressure sensor.

Combining the detection of action changes by the three-axis sensor, the pressure signals received by each pressure sensor and the action signals of the tilt action, rotation action, and direction change action detected by the three-axis acceleration sensor are transmitted to the controller. The controller converts the received pressure signals and action signals into corresponding music beats and transmits them to the APP client, where the music beats are recorded as a song creation diagram and stored. After the song creation mode is completed, the APP client can play and display the song according to the obtained song creation diagram.
