[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.
[0032] The embodiment of the present application discloses a tool for measuring the height of the arch of the foot.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A tool for measuring the height of the arch of the foot includes a base plate 1, a height measuring board 2 and a scale mark 21. The base plate 1 is a rectangular long strip. The top surface of the base plate 1 is used to contact the sole of the foot. The height measuring board 2 is light-transmissive. The height measuring board 2 is a transparent acrylic board. The height measuring board 2 is vertically arranged. The board surface of the height measuring board 2 is parallel to the extension direction of the base plate 1. The height measuring board 2 is arranged on the top of the base plate 1. The scale mark 21 is arranged on the side wall of the height measuring board 2 along the vertical direction. The scale mark 21 is used to measure the height of the arch of the foot.
[0034] When it is necessary to obtain the arch data of the person being measured, the measurer can lay the bottom plate 1 flat with the top surface facing upwards, and ask the person being measured to place the foot on the bottom plate 1 so that the sole of the foot contacts the top side of the bottom plate 1 and the arch of the foot is close to the height measuring plate 2. In this state, the measurer can align the scale mark 21 of the height measuring plate 2 with the highest point of the arch of the foot, so as to intuitively measure the height of the person being measured's foot, which is convenient for customizing or configuring the insole according to the person being measured's foot condition.
[0035] There are two height measuring boards 2, which are respectively close to the two sides of the bottom plate 1 parallel to the extending direction thereof, so that both left and right feet can be used.
[0036] A foot pedal 3 is provided on the top of the base plate 1. The foot pedal 3 is inclined and forms an angle with the top surface of the base plate 1. In this embodiment, the inclined bottom surface of the foot pedal 3 forms an acute angle with the top surface of the base plate 1. The foot pedal 3 is used for the person being measured to step on it with the forefoot. In the measuring state, the inclined top surface of the foot pedal 3 faces the foot of the person being measured.
[0037] During measurement, the person's forefoot can be placed on the inclined top surface of the foot pedal 3, so that the person's forefoot is turned upward. In this state, the arch of the foot is naturally revealed, allowing the person to accurately evaluate the structure of the foot, clearly observe the shape of the arch of the foot, and distinguish whether the person has a normal arch, a high arch foot, or a flat foot. The contact area between the forefoot and the base plate 1 can be reduced, making it easier to identify and determine the support point of the sole of the foot. The forefoot is supported and can remain in the turned upward state without effort, reducing the tension of the foot muscles and making the measurement results more accurate.
[0038] A support block 31 is slidingly connected to the base plate 1, and a strip slide groove 11 is provided on the top side of the base plate 1. The length direction of the strip slide groove 11 is consistent with the extension direction of the base plate 1, and the support block 31 is slidingly matched with the strip slide groove 11. A T-shaped slider is provided at the bottom of the support block 31, and the shape of the strip slide groove 11 is adapted to the T-shaped slider. The top of the support block 31 is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface of the support block 31 is parallel to the inclined surface of the foot pedal 3. The inclined bottom surface of the foot pedal 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support block 31, and the bottom side of the foot pedal 3 is in contact with the top side of the base plate 1.
[0039] When the person being measured places his or her foot on the base plate 1, the support block 31 can be moved so that the support block 31 and the foot pedal 3 move toward the forefoot of the person being measured until the forefoot of the person being measured is in an upward position, thereby facilitating the measurement of persons with different foot sizes and improving the scope of application.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3A distance marking line 12 is provided on the top side of the base plate 1. The extension direction of the distance marking line 12 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the base plate 1. The distance marking line 12 is arranged along the sliding direction of the support block 31. An abutment plate 13 is provided at one end of the base plate 1 away from the foot pedal 3. The surface of the abutment plate 13 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the base plate 1. The abutment plate 13 is used to contact the heel, thereby limiting the position of the foot. The foot pedal 3 is located above the distance marking line 12.
[0041] During measurement, the heel of the person being measured can be placed against the side surface of the abutment plate 13 facing the sole pedal 3. After moving the support block 31 and the sole pedal 3 to make the forefoot tilt upward, the distance mark 12 aligned with the sole pedal 3 is used as one end fulcrum of the arch of the foot, so that the measurer can easily read the length of the arch of the person being measured.
[0042] A scale group is provided on the top surface of the bottom plate 1 , and the scale group includes a foot length marking line 14 and a shoe size marking line 15 . The foot length marking line 14 and the shoe size marking line 15 are both arranged in the extension direction of the bottom plate 1 .
[0043] When being measured, the person being measured can also measure the length of the foot through the foot length marking line 14 and the appropriate shoe size through the shoe size marking line 15, so as to facilitate the selection of insoles of appropriate size.
[0044] The angle between the inclined bottom surface of the sole pedal 3 and the top surface of the base plate 1 is in the range of 40°-45°. In this embodiment, the angle between the inclined bottom surface of the sole pedal 3 and the top surface of the base plate 1 is 45°.
[0045] The angle of 45° allows the forefoot of the person being measured to turn up at an angle of 45°, which helps the person being measured to maximize the outline of the arch of the foot, making the highest point of the arch more obvious, and facilitating effective observation and measurement by the measurer.
[0046] A sliding groove 16 is provided on the top side of the base plate 1. The length direction of the sliding groove 16 is consistent with the extension direction of the base plate 1. The bottom of the height measuring plate 2 is slidingly matched with the groove wall of the sliding groove 16. The height measuring plate 2 can slide along the length direction of the sliding groove 16. The bottom of the height measuring plate 2 is T-shaped, and the shape of the sliding groove 16 is suitable for the bottom of the height measuring plate 2.
[0047] During measurement, the height measuring plate 2 can be moved so that the scale mark 21 is as close to and aligned with the highest point of the arch of the measured person as possible, which is convenient for the measurer to observe and measure, is suitable for measured persons with different foot sizes, and improves measurement accuracy.
[0048] A holding rod 17 is provided at one end of the base plate 1 away from the abutment plate 13. The holding rod 17 extends along the extension direction of the base plate 1. The measurer can pick up the holding rod 17 to move it. During measurement, the holding rod 17 does not contact the feet of the person being measured, which can reduce indirect contact between the measurer and the feet of the person being measured.
[0049] The implementation principle of the tool for measuring the height of the arch of the foot in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when measuring, the measurer's foot can be placed on the base plate 1, and the sole pedal 3 can be moved to make the forefoot of the person being measured tilt up, so that the measurer can observe and evaluate the structure of the foot and the shape of the arch of the foot. The height measuring board 2 can be moved to measure the height of the arch of the person being measured through the scale mark 21, and the length of the arch of the foot can be measured using the distance marking 12 and the abutment plate 13. The foot length and the suitable shoe size can be measured using the foot length marking 14 and the shoe size marking 15. The measurement results are intuitive and accurate, and the operation is simple and convenient. After measuring multiple data, the measurer can select suitable corrective insoles or corrective shoes for the person being measured based on the data.
[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application. These embodiments are only explanations of the present application and do not limit the scope of protection of the present application in turn. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the scope of protection of the present application.
