[0020] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, an insole with tracking and positioning function includes an insole body 1, a composite fabric layer 2 installed on the top surface of the insole body, the thickness of the insole body 1 being gradient-distributed, and a receiving chamber 3 for placing a tracker at the bottom of the insole body. A positioning post 8 for fixing the tracker is installed in the receiving chamber, wherein the tracker 7 can be a SmartTag2 tracker. A covering area 4 is installed at the opening of the receiving chamber, and the covering area 4 is sealed and fixed by the elastic deformation of the insole body 1 itself. The covering area at the opening of the receiving chamber achieves sealing and fixation through the elastic deformation of the insole body itself, ensuring that the tracker is stably placed without the need for additional buckles or sealing caps. This avoids foot pressure discomfort caused by rigid components and ensures the stability of the SmartTag2 tracker during dynamic use. Even during prolonged walking, running, or other sports activities, the tracker will not shift or fall off due to shaking or friction, ensuring the continuity and stability of the tracking function and providing reliable support for safety.
[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the insole body 1 is a polyurethane foam one-piece body with a hardness of Shore 20°±3°; this material has good elasticity and cushioning performance, can effectively disperse foot pressure, and reduce fatigue during walking. At the same time, the insole body thickness is gradiently distributed, which conforms to the principle of human engineering, provides appropriate support at different parts such as the arch and heel, and makes the user feel comfortable wearing experience.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the composite fabric 2 is a plain cloth and weathered surface composite fabric, which is hot-pressed and attached to the insole body; the plain cloth provides good wear resistance and flatness, and the weathered surface significantly enhances the air permeability and moisture absorption of the fabric. This composite fabric combination can quickly absorb foot sweat and promptly release moisture, keeping the inside of the shoe dry and effectively reducing odor, creating a comfortable and healthy environment for the feet.
[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the accommodation chamber 3 is located in the transition area from the arch to the heel, and the depth of the accommodation chamber 3 matches the size of the tracker; this design allows the tracker to follow the user's movements stably. When the user is outdoors, whether it is an elderly person who gets lost while walking, a child who gets separated from their family while playing, or a person with cognitive impairment who accidentally goes out, the tracker can accurately obtain location information and transmit it in a timely manner, allowing family members to quickly know their location through the matching device, greatly improving the search efficiency and effectively ensuring the safety of special groups.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the accommodation chamber 3 is provided with a gas guiding micro-pore channel; the gas guiding micro-pore channel at the bottom of the accommodation chamber can improve the air circulation in the chamber. When the tracker generates heat during operation or the humidity in the chamber accumulates due to foot sweat, the gas guiding micro-pore channel can expel the heat and humidity, avoiding affecting the performance of the tracker, prolonging its service life, and ensuring the stable operation of the tracking and positioning function.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the insole body 1 is designed with a curved anti-slip pattern 5 at the bottom, and a cutting line 6 is also designed at the bottom corresponding to the end of the insole, which facilitates users to cut according to their own shoe size, so that the insole can perfectly fit different sizes of shoes, improving the universality of the product.
[0029] The performance advantages of the product are: (1) material-structure synergistic design: through the optimization of the gradient thickness and shore hardness of the polyurethane foam material, the foot support is ensured, and the SmartTag2 tracker is adaptively wrapped by using the material deformation, avoiding the mechanical interference of rigid parts to the foot bottom; (2) integrated sealing scheme: relying on the elastic memory characteristics of the polyurethane material, the dynamic sealing of the accommodation chamber opening is realized, the assembly process is simplified and the reliability is improved; (3) functional composite: the plain cloth-weathered surface composite surface layer considers the moisture absorption and sweat resistance and anti-wrinkle performance, and cooperates with the bottom air guide micropore to form a two-way humidity management mechanism.
[0030] The manufacturing process of the insole is as follows:
[0031] I. Material preparation
[0032] Insole body material: polyurethane foam material is selected, and the hardness needs to be strictly controlled at shore 20°±3°, so as to ensure that the insole can provide good elasticity and cushioning performance, and can maintain stable form during use, facilitating subsequent processing and placement and fixation of the tracker. The insole body is made by one-piece molding process, which can ensure the overall structural strength and stability of the insole and reduce potential quality problems caused by splicing.
[0033] Composite fabric: plain cloth and weathered surface composite fabric are used. The plain cloth has good wear resistance and flatness, and can provide comfortable touch for the foot; the weathered surface can help to enhance the air permeability and moisture absorption of the fabric. The composite fabric is prepared for pasting on the top surface of the insole body.
[0034] II. Insole body processing
[0035] Accommodation chamber opening: an accommodation chamber is accurately opened in the insole body bottom from the arch to the heel transition area according to the size of the tracker. The depth of the accommodation chamber needs to be matched with the size of the tracker to ensure that the tracker can be placed flush with or slightly lower than the bottom plane of the insole body after placement, avoiding the influence of protrusion on wearing comfort. At the bottom of the accommodation chamber, a professional tool is used to reserve an air guide micropore channel, which can effectively improve the air circulation in the accommodation chamber, prevent the accumulation of moisture in the chamber due to the heating of the tracker or the sweating of the foot, and affect the normal work of the tracker.
[0036] Anti-skid lines and cutting lines design: curve-shaped anti-skid lines are designed on the bottom of the insole body using molds or laser engraving. Compared with straight lines, curve-shaped design can better adapt to different walking postures and ground conditions, providing more reliable anti-skid effect. At the same time, cutting lines are designed on the bottom of the insole body corresponding to the end positions of the insole. Users can cut the insole along the cutting lines according to their own shoe size, so that the insole can better fit different sizes of shoes.
[0037] III. Composite material installation
[0038] The prepared composite material is fixed on the top surface of the insole body by a hot pressing process. During hot pressing, the temperature, pressure and time parameters need to be controlled to ensure that the composite material is tightly combined with the insole body without bubbling, delamination and other phenomena. The hot pressing temperature can be set at 120-150℃, the pressure is 0.5-1.0MPa, and the time is about 30-60 seconds. The specific parameters can be fine-tuned according to the characteristics of the composite material and the insole body material.
[0039] IV. Tracker installation and covering area processing
[0040] The tracker is placed smoothly in the accommodation chamber to ensure that each functional module of the tracker is normal and firmly installed.
[0041] The covering area at the opening of the accommodation chamber is sealed and fixed by the elastic deformation of the insole body itself. Since the insole body is made of polyurethane foam material, it has a certain elasticity. After placing the tracker, gently press the covering area to make it tightly fit on the surface of the tracker by its own elasticity, forming a sealing effect, preventing dust, water vapor and other substances from entering the accommodation chamber and affecting the performance of the tracker, and ensuring that the tracker will not be displaced or fall off due to shaking and friction during walking.
[0042] Through the above specific embodiments, an insole with tracking and positioning functions can be efficiently and reliably manufactured, meeting the market's demand for safety protection and daily wearing comfort for special groups.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that: the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the present application, should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
