Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biomedical engineering technology, and in particular to a functional shoe for monitoring leg health. Background Technology

[0002] As people's health awareness continues to improve, the functional requirements for everyday footwear are no longer limited to basic walking functions. Instead, people expect them to have additional functions such as health monitoring to help them better understand their physical condition, especially the health of their legs. Existing monitoring involves installing sensors, signal transmitters, and other components inside the shoes, which monitor the force exerted by the legs by transmitting the force to the sensors inside the shoes.

[0003] However, existing monitoring shoes mostly focus on improvements to sensors, with minimal changes to the shoe itself. In practical use, they exhibit the same problems as everyday shoes: after prolonged wear, the base of the tongue bends and retracts inward, affecting the wearing experience; and existing shoes don't adequately support the heel, creating gaps between the foot and the sensor during walking, which can impact monitoring results. Therefore, we need to design a functional shoe that addresses these issues while improving existing monitoring capabilities. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the existing technology where the base of the shoe tongue bends and shrinks inward, affecting the wearing experience, and the existing shoes cannot properly wrap the heel, and to propose a functional shoe for leg health monitoring.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A functional shoe for leg health monitoring includes a sole and a shoe body disposed on top of the sole. The shoe body includes a shoe frame and a shoe tongue. The shoe frame is connected to the top of the sole and to the collar of the shoe frame. A shoelace is disposed at the collar of the shoe frame. An insole is disposed between the sole and the shoe frame. A flexible sensor is disposed inside the insole. A hardware module is disposed inside the shoe tongue.

[0007] A pad for conforming to the wearer's heel, the pad being placed at the heel of the shoe body, the top of one side of the pad having a protrusion, and the center of the protrusion being recessed inward;

[0008] An elastic band is used to ensure the shape of the shoe tongue. One end of the elastic band is fixedly set on the outer surface of the shoe tongue. A connecting band is provided at the shoe collar of the shoe body. The two ends of the connecting band are respectively fixedly set on both sides of the shoe collar of the shoe body and located above the shoe tongue.

[0009] In one possible design, the pad has an air bladder inside, the surface of the air bladder is fixedly connected to an air tube, and one end of the air tube is fixedly extended through the outer wall of the pad. The air tube has a valve core inside, and a perforation is opened at the heel of the shoe sole, with one end of the air tube extending through the perforation to the outside of the perforation.

[0010] In one possible design, a reinforcing ring is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the perforation.

[0011] In one possible design, the valve core of the air tube is a self-closing valve core.

[0012] In one possible design, the two ends of the connecting strap are sewn to the surface of the shoe body, one end of the elastic band is sewn to the surface of the shoe tongue, the surface of the shoe tongue and the inner wall of the shoe body at the heel are provided with a napped layer, and one end of the elastic band and the surface of the pad are provided with a hook-and-loop layer.

[0013] In one possible design, the buckle of the shoelace is located below the elastic band.

[0014] In this application, during actual use, one end of the elastic band is stretched so that it is folded back after passing around the connecting band. Then, the hook side of one end is attached to the rough side of the shoe tongue to complete the attachment, thereby hooking the shoe tongue and preventing it from easily shrinking inward during wear and use. The shoelace buckles can also be hidden under the elastic band, which will press them down, reducing the possibility of the shoelace buckles loosening. Even if they do loosen, they will be covered by the elastic band and will not fall off naturally, preventing the shoelaces from being stepped on by another foot and causing a fall. The air bladder inside the pad is inflated through the air tube, causing the air bladder and the outer pad to deform together, thereby fitting snugly against the wearer's heel.

[0015] In this utility model, the functional shoe for leg health monitoring, through the air-cushioned padding, can better help the foot fit the shoe, and also ensure the contact effect between the sole of the foot and the sensor inside the insole, thereby improving the monitoring accuracy;

[0016] In this utility model, the functional shoe for leg health monitoring can collect data such as pressure and gait during the wearer's walking process in real time through a flexible sensor, and process and transmit the data through a hardware module inside the shoe tongue, so that the wearer can understand his or her leg health status in a timely manner and provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of leg diseases.

[0017] In this invention, based on the existing leg monitoring function, it can provide users with a better wearing experience, making them more comfortable to wear, solving common problems of existing shoes, and also helping to improve the accuracy of monitoring results.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Reference Figure 1 A functional shoe includes: a sole 1 and a shoe body disposed on top of the sole 1, the shoe body including a shoe frame 2 and a shoe tongue 4;

[0025] The shoe body 2 can be bonded to the top of the main sole 1 through a high-frequency hot pressing process. One end of the shoe tongue 4 is sewn to the collar of the shoe body 2. The elastic band 5 is threaded through the perforation of the shoe body 2 and is located on the outside of the shoe tongue 4. An insole 9 is provided between the sole 1 and the shoe body 2.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 The insole 8 is made of memory foam and covered with a breathable TPU membrane. The air tube 7 of its internal air bladder extends to the outside of the insole. The valve core inside the air tube is a self-sealing valve core (opening pressure 0.02MPa) to ensure sealing when not in use. A copper reinforcing ring is installed at the perforation 10 on the sole 1 to reduce wear and damage. The raised structure at the top of the insole 8 adopts a biomimetic curved surface design, tilted at 15° to the Achilles tendon contact surface to increase the fit. The inner wall of the heel area of ​​the shoe body 2 has a textured surface layer, while the surface of the insole 8 has a hook-and-loop surface layer. The two are bonded together to achieve the installation of the insole 8.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The connecting strap 3 can be made of high-elastic spandex webbing, with both ends fixed to the collar of the shoe body 2 by trapezoidal stitching and located above the shoe tongue 4. One end of the elastic band 5 is stitched and fixed to the outer surface of the shoe tongue 4. The surface of the shoe tongue 4 is provided with a napped layer, and one end of the elastic band 5 is provided with a hook layer.

[0028] Specifically, one end of the elastic band 5 is stretched so that it is folded back after passing around the connecting band 3. Then, the hook side of one end is attached to the rough side of the tongue 4 to complete the attachment, thereby holding the tongue 4 in place. This prevents the tongue 4 from easily shrinking inward during wearing and use. The buckle of the shoelace 6 can also be hidden under the elastic band 5, which will hold it down. This reduces the possibility of the buckle of the shoelace 6 becoming loose, and even if it does become loose, it will be covered by the elastic band 5 and will not fall down naturally, preventing the other foot from stepping on it and causing a fall.

[0029] This application can be used in the field of biomedical engineering, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] refer to Figure 2 Based on Example 1, an improvement is made to a functional shoe for leg health monitoring, applied in the field of biomedical engineering. The flexible sensor in the insole 9 is a full-length flexible fabric pressure sensor, employing a piezoresistive sensing principle. It consists of a conductive rubber layer and a flexible printed circuit board (FPC). A silver paste electrode array is printed on the surface of the conductive rubber layer, forming a 16×16 sensing matrix. When foot pressure is applied to the insole, the conductive rubber deforms, and the contact resistance between the electrodes changes linearly with the pressure (sensitivity coefficient 0.25 / kPa). The sensor layer is bonded to the insole body via a hot-melt adhesive film (0.1mm thick) to ensure no delamination during long-term wear.

[0032] The hardware module inside the shoe tongue 4 adopts an integrated design, including a main controller, a wireless transmission module, and a sensor module for real-time collection of user movement and health data. The sensor module is electrically connected to the main controller, and the flexible sensors are all connected to the main controller through peripheral circuits. The wireless transmission module is electrically connected to the main controller. Various data of the foot, such as body temperature and heart rate, are acquired through flexible pressure sensors. These data are analyzed through client analysis software to monitor leg exertion and other aspects.

[0033] The working principle, wiring method, and required electronic components of the hardware module and flexible sensor in this application are the same as those in the hardware module and flexible sensor of the invention entitled "A Sports Health Monitoring Shoe Based on a Flexible Pressure Sensor" (CN108741383B).

[0034] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of hardware modules and flexible sensors are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge, so they will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0035] The accompanying drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
