Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of foot buckle technology, specifically a smart foot buckle. Background Technology
[0002] Pole climbing is a crucial component of skills training in industries such as power and telecommunications, and trainees typically rely on foot straps for this practice. Current foot strap products are mostly mechanical in design, dependent on manual donning and operation, and their functionality is relatively limited, presenting the following problems:
[0003] 1. Insufficient safety of wearing: If trainees do not wear foot buckles or securing straps correctly during training, the foot buckles are prone to falling off, increasing the risk of the pole falling during the climb;
[0004] Second, lack of real-time monitoring function: The current foot buckle cannot collect the trainee's movement data (such as pressure distribution, angle change, acceleration, etc.) in real time, which makes it impossible to remind the trainee to make adjustments in time when problems occur during training;
[0005] Third, limited teaching support capabilities: Existing pole climbing training methods mainly rely on the trainer's experience and judgment, lack data-based analysis methods, cannot accurately assess the trainees' performance, and are difficult to effectively record and analyze the trainees' long-term training status.
[0006] While some existing foot catches have improved safety through material or structural modifications, they still fall short in areas such as data monitoring, foot catch loss warnings, cause analysis, and teaching assistance. Therefore, developing a smart foot catch capable of collecting motion data and storing training information in real time is of paramount importance. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of the above situation and to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an intelligent foot buckle, which effectively solves the problem of the single function of existing foot buckles.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent foot buckle, comprising a first foot buckle, a second foot buckle, and a handheld terminal. Both the first and second foot buckles consist of a foot support, a strap, a limiting support, an arc-shaped support arm, a limiting sleeve, and a limiting arm. The strap is connected to the top of the foot support. A tension sensor is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the foot support. One end of the strap is fixedly connected to the tension sensor. A flexible thin-film pressure sensor is fixedly installed inside the strap. The limiting support is fixedly connected to one side of the foot support. A second flexible thin-film pressure sensor and a first wear-resistant and anti-slip rubber strip are fixedly installed on the side of the limiting support. The first wear-resistant and anti-slip rubber strip covers the second flexible thin-film pressure sensor. The arc-shaped support arm is fixedly connected to... One end of the footrest is fixedly connected to the other end of the arc-shaped support arm via a limiting sleeve. A box is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting sleeve. Inside the box, a battery, a wireless storage controller, and a buzzer alarm are fixedly installed. The limiting arm slides through the limiting sleeve. An accelerometer and a gyroscope sensor are fixedly installed at one end of both the limiting arm and the arc-shaped support arm. A flexible thin-film pressure sensor three and a wear-resistant and anti-slip rubber strip two are fixedly installed at one end of the side of the limiting arm. The wear-resistant and anti-slip rubber strip two covers the flexible thin-film pressure sensor three. The accelerometer, gyroscope sensor, and flexible thin-film pressure sensor three are connected to the wireless storage controller via a combined elastic wire harness. A flexible thin-film pressure sensor four is fixedly installed at the top of the footrest.
[0009] Preferably, one side of the arc-shaped support arm is provided with an elastic wire connected to the wireless storage controller, one end of the elastic wire is fixedly provided with an elastic sleeve, and one side of the elastic sleeve is fixedly provided with a vibration motor.
[0010] Preferably, an extension safety belt is fixedly provided at one end of the strap side, and the other end of the extension safety belt is fixedly connected to the footrest.
[0011] Preferably, a limit buckle is inserted at one end of the side of the limiting arm, and the limit buckle is connected to the limiting arm by a spring.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] (1) During operation, the first and second foot buckles, consisting of a footrest, straps, a limiting support, an arc-shaped support arm, a limiting sleeve, and a limiting arm, enable pole climbing. A tension sensor and a flexible film pressure sensor (I) monitor whether the straps are securely connected to the worker's feet. A flexible film pressure sensor (II) monitors the contact pressure of the limiting support. A flexible film pressure sensor (III) monitors the contact pressure of the limiting arm, thus determining whether the foot buckles are securely connected to the pole. A flexible film pressure sensor (IV) monitors the pressure between the foot and the footrest. An acceleration sensor and a gyroscope sensor are also included. It can monitor dynamic information such as acceleration, deceleration, and directional changes of foot straps, as well as angle changes in three-dimensional space, especially tilt angle and rotation state. This allows it to identify the motion characteristics of the foot straps during pole climbing. Through continuous angle change data, the system can determine whether the student has abnormal posture and whether the foot straps have fallen off. By analyzing the monitoring data from the tension sensor, flexible film pressure sensor 1, flexible film pressure sensor 2, flexible film pressure sensor 3, and flexible film pressure sensor 4, it can determine the cause of the foot strap falling off, such as improper strap tightness or the foot strap not being adjusted to a size suitable for the pole diameter.
[0014] (2) By setting up a buzzer alarm and a vibration motor, an alarm can be set up in real time when the monitoring data is abnormal, which can help staff or trainees make auxiliary judgments and improve safety. By setting up an extended safety belt, the stability of the strap connection can be further improved. By setting up a limit buckle, the limit function can be achieved to prevent the limit arm from separating from the limit sleeve.
[0015] (3) Through the handheld terminal, it can wirelessly connect with the wireless storage controller inside the first and second foot buckles, thereby enabling data storage and analysis. When trainees are training, the trainer can monitor them in real time through the handheld terminal to ensure the safety of the trainees. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Depend on Figures 1 to 6This invention discloses an intelligent foot buckle, comprising a first foot buckle 1, a second foot buckle 2, and a handheld terminal 31. Both the first foot buckle 1 and the second foot buckle 2 are composed of a foot support 3, a strap 4, a limiting support 5, an arc-shaped support arm 6, a limiting sleeve 7, and a limiting arm 8. The strap 4 is connected to the top of the foot support 3. A tension sensor 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the foot support 3. One end of the strap 4 is fixedly connected to the tension sensor 9. A flexible thin-film pressure sensor 10 is fixedly installed inside the strap 4. The limiting support 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the foot support 3. A flexible thin-film pressure sensor 21 and a wear-resistant and anti-slip rubber strip 13 are fixedly installed on the side of the limiting support 5, with the wear-resistant and anti-slip rubber strip 13 covering the flexible thin-film pressure sensor 211. The arc-shaped support arm 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the foot support 3. The limiting sleeve 7 is fixed... Connected to the other end of the arc-shaped support arm 6, a box 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting sleeve 7. The box 14 is fixedly installed with a battery 15, a wireless storage controller 16 and a buzzer alarm 17. The limiting arm 8 slides through the limiting sleeve 7. An accelerometer 18 and a gyroscope 19 are fixedly installed at one end of both the limiting arm 8 and the arc-shaped support arm 6. A flexible film pressure sensor 20 and a wear-resistant and anti-slip rubber strip 23 are fixedly installed at one end of the side of the limiting arm 8. The wear-resistant and anti-slip rubber strip 23 covers the flexible film pressure sensor 20. The accelerometer 18, the gyroscope 19 and the flexible film pressure sensor 20 are connected to the wireless storage controller 16 through a combined elastic wire harness 24. A flexible film pressure sensor 12 is fixedly installed at the top of the footrest 3.
[0028] In use, the footrest 3 and strap 4 are connected to the foot. The tension sensor 9 and flexible film pressure sensor 10 monitor the stability of the connection. Flexible film pressure sensor 21 monitors the contact pressure between the limiting support 5 and the pole. Wear-resistant and anti-slip rubber strip 13 increases friction. Flexible film pressure sensor 320 monitors the contact pressure between the limiting arm 8 and the pole. Wear-resistant and anti-slip rubber strip 23 improves anti-slip performance. Flexible film pressure sensor 42 monitors the pressure between the foot and footrest 3. Accelerometer 18 and gyroscope 19 monitor the foot buckle's acceleration, deceleration, directional changes, and angular changes in three-dimensional space, especially tilt angle and rotation. This allows the system to identify the foot buckle's motion characteristics during pole climbing. Through continuous angular change data, the system can determine if the student has abnormal posture and whether the foot buckle has fallen off. Flexible film pressure sensors 10, 21, and 320 are all elongated structures. The pressure sensor 412 has a circular structure. By analyzing the monitoring data from the tension sensor 9, flexible film pressure sensor 10, flexible film pressure sensor 21, flexible film pressure sensor 320, and flexible film pressure sensor 412, it can determine the cause of the foot buckle falling off. It can determine whether the foot buckle fell off due to improper tightness of the strap 4 or because the foot buckle was not adjusted to a size suitable for the rod diameter. By fixing an acceleration sensor 18 and a gyroscope sensor 19 at one end inside the limiting arm 8 and the arc-shaped support arm 6, multi-position monitoring can be achieved, improving the accuracy of monitoring. It can be powered by the battery 15, and the data can be stored and transmitted by the wireless storage controller 16. It can be alarmed by the buzzer 17. It can be wirelessly connected to the wireless storage controller 16 inside the first foot buckle 1 and the second foot buckle 2 through the handheld terminal 31, so as to store and analyze the data. When the trainees are training, the trainer can monitor in real time through the handheld terminal 31 to ensure the safety of the trainees.
[0029] Depend on Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, an elastic wire 25 connected to a wireless storage controller 16 is provided on one side of the arc-shaped support arm 6. An elastic sleeve 26 is fixedly provided at one end of the elastic wire 25. A vibration motor 27 is fixedly provided on one side of the elastic sleeve 26. An extended safety belt 28 is fixedly provided at one end of the strap 4. The other end of the extended safety belt 28 is fixedly connected to the footrest 3. A limit buckle 29 is inserted at one end of the limit arm 8. The limit buckle 29 is connected to the limit arm 8 through a spring 30.
[0030] The vibration motor 27 and elastic sleeve 26 can be connected to the worker's legs to achieve vibration feedback. The extended safety belt 28 can further improve the connection stability of the strap 4. The limit buckle 29 can limit the limit arm 8 to prevent the limit arm 8 from detaching.
[0031] In operation, the system utilizes a first and second foot buckle, comprised of a footrest, straps, a limiting support, an arc-shaped support arm, a limiting sleeve, and a limiting arm, to enable pole climbing. A tension sensor and a flexible film pressure sensor (I) monitor the secure connection of the straps to the operator's feet. A second flexible film pressure sensor monitors the contact pressure of the limiting support. A third flexible film pressure sensor monitors the contact pressure of the limiting arm, thus determining the stability of the foot buckle's connection to the pole. A fourth flexible film pressure sensor monitors the pressure between the foot and the footrest. An accelerometer and a gyroscope sensor monitor the foot buckle's acceleration, deceleration, directional changes, and angular changes in three-dimensional space, particularly tilt angles and rotation. This allows the system to identify the foot buckle's motion characteristics during pole climbing. Continuous angular change data enables the system to determine if the trainee exhibits abnormal posture. This system can determine whether the foot buckle has fallen off. By analyzing the monitoring data from a tension sensor, four flexible thin-film pressure sensors (one, two, three, and four), it can identify the cause of the foot buckle falling off, such as improper strap tightness or the foot buckle not being adjusted to the appropriate size for the pole diameter. With a buzzer alarm and vibration motor, it can provide real-time alerts when monitoring data is abnormal, assisting staff or trainees in making judgments and improving safety. The extended safety belt further enhances the stability of the strap connection. The limit buckle prevents the limit arm from separating from the limit sleeve. A handheld terminal can wirelessly connect to the wireless storage controller inside the first and second foot buckles for data storage and analysis. During training, trainers can monitor in real-time using the handheld terminal to ensure trainee safety.
