Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a shoe insole with a massage function. Background Art

[0002] Massage insoles or shoes are products that stimulate the soles of the feet or specific locations on the soles to promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that massaging or stimulating acupuncture points on the soles of the feet can promote blood circulation and relieve foot fatigue. Therefore, some shoes or insoles incorporate massage mechanisms in specific locations based on relevant TCM theories. One method involves attaching positive and negative electrodes to the foot, using microcurrent to stimulate and massage the foot. With this method, the soles of the shoes typically have sufficient space for a rechargeable battery and controller, while the positive and negative electrodes for stimulating the soles of the feet are typically provided as electrodes on the insoles that contact the soles of the feet. However, the electrodes can only stimulate limited locations on the soles of the feet; second, they are connected to the battery and controller on the soles of the shoes via wires, making the insoles difficult to remove and replace; and third, while these massage mechanisms can be used while walking, the soles of the feet may sweat during walking and massage, and sweat conducts electricity, which can easily cause short circuits. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above shortcomings, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a micro-current massage insole that covers most areas of the forefoot and heel.

[0004] To this end, the utility model provides an insole with a massage function, which also includes a surface layer, which is arranged above the rubber pad. The surface layer includes a first conductive area, a second conductive area and an insulating area. An insulating area is set between the first conductive area and the second conductive area. The first conductive area and the second conductive area include conductive fabrics. The first conductive area and the second conductive area are used to connect to a power source.

[0005] Furthermore, it also includes a copper sheet provided below the corresponding first conductive area and the second conductive area, the copper sheet is electrically connected to the corresponding first conductive area or the second conductive area, and the copper sheet is respectively connected to the corresponding wires.

[0006] Furthermore, the insulating area is arranged at the arch position, and the first conductive area and the second conductive area are arranged in the forefoot area and the heel area respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, the insole is provided with upward protrusions corresponding to predetermined positions of the human body.

[0009] Furthermore, the insulating area is connected to a conductive part on one side close to the first conductive area and on the other side close to the second conductive area. The conductive part is separated from the corresponding first conductive area or the second conductive area by a predetermined distance. A moisture-absorbing layer is provided between the conductive parts on both sides. The connecting device includes a movable rod, which can disengage the contact under the action of an energized coil. The two ends of the coil are respectively connected to a conductive part in the insulating area; or the wire of the conductive part is connected to a sensor. When the sensor senses current, the controller controls the power supply to supply power to the coil.

[0010] Furthermore, the movable rod is coaxially arranged with the coil tube, a coil is provided in the coil tube, the coil is sleeved on the outside of the movable rod, one end of the coil tube is provided with a predetermined distance from the bottom of the groove, a slider is provided in the groove, the slider is fixed to the movable rod, and a spring is provided between the bottom of the groove and the slider. After the coil is energized, the movable rod overcomes the spring force and moves axially toward the bottom of the groove, so that the circuit between the plug connector and the slot is disconnected.

[0011] The connecting device includes a conductive sheet, which is arranged in the socket. The conductive sheet contacts the conductive component of the plug connector to achieve circuit connection. The side of the conductive sheet is connected to the movable rod, and a slider is connected to the movable rod. The slider moves in the groove.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the following is a detailed description of the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model is an insole with massage function, including a Chinese herbal rubber pad, a molded surface layer 2 above the rubber pad, and the main body of the surface layer 2 is conductive cloth. Conductive cloth is a prior art and is disclosed in many existing patent documents, including the use of graphene materials or weaving conductive threads into the cloth. In this embodiment, a piece of insulating cloth is sewn in the middle of the conductive cloth, and the conductive cloth of the surface layer 2 is divided into two parts, the forefoot and the heel, namely the first conductive area 3 and the second conductive area 5. The first conductive area 3 and the second conductive area 5 are each connected to a wire 7 through a circular copper sheet below them. The wire 7 is connected to a power supply provided in the sole and controlled by a controller. Setting a rechargeable battery as a power source in the sole and setting a controller for control are both prior art and will not be repeated here. The controller can set an on-off switch and an up-adjustment button and a down-adjustment button, and can set multiple adjustment gears, and the gears are adjusted by the up-adjustment button and the down-adjustment button. In this embodiment, when the massage function is turned on, a microcurrent is formed between the first conductive area 3, the human body, and the second conductive area 5 to stimulate the human body. Refer to Figure 1 As shown, convex blocks 8 with certain shapes are formed at corresponding positions of the rubber pad according to the acupuncture points of the human body to stimulate the corresponding acupuncture points in traditional Chinese medicine theory.

[0024] The utility model also discloses a molding method of the insole 1, comprising the following steps:

[0025] S1: A surface layer 2 of a predetermined shape is prepared and placed into an insole mold. In this step, the surface layer 2 can be prepared in a variety of ways, including sewing a strip of insulating fabric (of a certain width) between two pieces of conductive fabric, and then cutting it with a cutting machine to form the corresponding shape of the surface layer 2. Alternatively, the corresponding first conductive area 3, second conductive area 5, and insulating area 4 can be cut separately and then sewn or glued together.

[0026] S2: punching the rubber foam sheet and the Chinese herbal medicine composition into a predetermined shape and thickness, and placing the blank into an insole mold;

[0027] S3: Weld the wire 7 to the copper sheet, and place the welded wire 7 and copper sheet in the designated position in the mold; the copper sheet is placed between the embryo sheet and the surface layer 2, corresponding to the first conductive area 3 and the second conductive area 5;

[0028] S4: vulcanization and foaming are performed in a mold to form the insole 1. The copper sheet, the wire 7 and the insole 1 form a whole.

[0029] The above embodiment uses high-temperature foaming to integrally mold the surface layer, wire, copper sheet, and rubber pad into an insole. This molding method has the advantage of not using adhesives, achieving glue-free molding, making it a green and environmentally friendly process. In addition to the above embodiment, existing, traditional methods can also be used to combine the surface layer, wire, copper sheet, and rubber pad. For example, the copper sheet and the rubber pad are first integrally molded on their surface, and then the surface layer 2 is bonded to the surface of the rubber pad by gluing or other methods.

[0030] In the above embodiment, referring to Figure 1 As shown, to facilitate the assembly and removal of the insole 1, the conductive wire 7 of the insole 1 is connected to a connecting device 6. The connecting device 6 includes a plug connector 601 and a slot 602. The plug connector 601 and slot 602 cooperate with each other. One of the plug connector 601 and slot 602 is connected to the insole 1 and is connected to the conductive wire 7 of the insole 1. The other is located in the sole and is connected to the power supply and controller together with the conductive wire 7 on the sole. The insole 1 can be separated from the sole by connecting the plug connector 601 and the corresponding slot 602. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two embodiments of the plug connector 601 and the slot 602 are shown respectively. Figure 2 As shown, the plug connector 601 is entirely inserted into the slot 602, a plug 603 is provided in the slot 602, and the plug 603 is inserted into the socket on the plug connector 601 and contacts the static contact on the elastic conductive sheet at the bottom of the socket to form an electrical path.

[0031] In the above embodiment 1, referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, the first conductive area 3 and the second conductive area 5 are separated by the insulating area 4. However, the feet are prone to sweating, and sweat can conduct electricity. When sweat is adsorbed on the insulating area 4, the insulating effect of the insulating area 4 is affected, and a short circuit causes a fault. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the insulating area 4 is connected to the conductive part 10 on one side close to the first conductive area 3 and the other side close to the second conductive area 5. The conductive part 10 can be a strip of conductive cloth extending from one side of the insole 1 to the other side. A hygroscopic layer 9 is set between the conductive parts 10 on both sides. A certain interval is set between the hygroscopic layer 9 and the conductive part 10. The function of the hygroscopic layer 9 is to absorb a certain amount of sweat. When the conductive parts 10 on both sides and the corresponding conductive areas are conductive due to sweat, the hygroscopic layer 9 can prevent the conductive areas on both sides from being directly connected. The insulating area 4 is set at the arch position. The connecting device 6 includes a movable rod 604, which is a conductive component in the plug 603. A coil tube 608 is fixed at the bottom of the slot 602. One end of the coil tube 608 is a groove 606. A slider 605 is provided in the groove 606. The slider 605 is fixed to the movable rod 604 and connected to the bottom of the groove 606 by a spring 607. A coil is provided in the coil tube 608. The movable rod 604 can be an iron core. The electromagnetic force of the coil is used to drive the movable rod 604 to move. In Example 1, a movable contact can be provided at the end of the movable rod 604, which is connected to the wire 7, and the movable rod 604 is no longer used as a conductive component. When sweat wets the area between the first conductive area 3, the second conductive area 5 and the conductive part 10, the coil is connected, and the first conductive area 3 and the second conductive area 5 are disconnected. To maintain the disconnected state, a permanent magnet block can be provided at the bottom of the groove 606. Of course, the connection can also be disconnected by the controller when the coil is energized. It should be noted that the conductive part 10 can be directly connected to the coil through the wire 7. When sweat wets it, a pathway is formed and the coil is energized, disconnecting the circuit of the connecting device 6. Alternatively, a leakage sensor can be connected between the two conductive parts 10. When leakage is detected, the controller controls the coil to be energized and disconnect it.

[0032] Reference Figure 4As shown, Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, except that the connection device 6 includes a conductive sheet 609, which is disposed in the jack. The side of the conductive sheet 609 or the contact connected to the conductive sheet contacts the conductive component of the plug connector 601, namely the plug 603, to achieve circuit connection. Furthermore, the side of the conductive sheet 609 is connected to the movable rod 604, and the movable rod 604 is connected to the slider 605. The slider 605 moves in the groove 606. The slider 605 is connected to the coil tube 608 by a spring 607. The coil tube 608 is provided with a coil and is sleeved on the outside of the movable rod 604. In this way, when the coil is energized, the movable rod 604 drives the conductive sheet 609 to move, thereby disconnecting the conductive sheet 609 from the conductive component of the plug connector 601. Similar to Example 1, the coil can be connected to the conductive part 10 to energize the coil when the insulating area is wetted by sweat. Alternatively, a leakage sensor can be connected to the conductive part 10, and the controller can be used to energize the coil to achieve the disconnection function.
