Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressure detection technology, and in particular to a foot and ankle pressure detection device. Background Technology
[0002] Patent document CN109979595A, entitled "A Classification Method for Foot and Ankle Injury Rehabilitation Assessment Results Based on Plantar Pressure Detection Using Support Vector Machine," discloses the following steps: First, plantar pressure data during walking is collected; then, the collected plantar pressure data is analyzed to extract plantar pressure feature parameters; these feature parameters include a time grid sequence of the plantar pressure center trajectory, the percentage difference in the two-foot support time, and the percentage difference in the total pressure during the two-foot support period; finally, a linear support vector machine is used to classify and predict the plantar pressure feature parameters. By analyzing the time grid sequence of the plantar pressure center trajectory, the percentage difference in the two-foot support time, and the percentage difference in the total pressure during the two-foot support period, and using a linear support vector machine model for multi-class prediction, assessment results for lower limb foot and ankle injury rehabilitation can be obtained.
[0003] The above-mentioned device can collect foot pressure data during walking, but it cannot detect the pressure on the ankle during walking, making the detection data inaccurate. In addition, the existing detection device is partly a shoe-like structure, which is a one-piece structure. If part of it is damaged (such as the shoe body or sole), the whole thing must be replaced, which is wasteful. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model discloses a foot and ankle pressure detection device, which aims to solve the technical problem that existing detection devices are partly shoe-shaped structures, which are integral structures. When part of them is damaged (such as the shoe body or sole), the whole device can only be replaced, which is wasteful.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An ankle pressure detection device includes a shoe upper, a shoe tongue, and a shoe sole. The shoe upper's bottom is inserted into the shoe sole and fixedly connected by bolts. A flexible pressure sensor is located at the ankle of the shoe upper. Flexible pressure sensors on the shoe sole are located on both sides of the upper and the outer side of the little toe. A placement cavity for a processor is formed within the shoe sole, and the processor is electrically connected to the flexible pressure sensor. A battery storage cavity is located on the outer side of the shoe upper, and a Bluetooth transmission module and a data storage module are located on the inner layer of the shoe upper. A ring-shaped rigid block is integrally connected to the bottom of the shoe upper, and this rigid block is inserted into and slidably connected to the shoe sole. Several fixing bolts are threaded onto the side of the shoe sole, with the ends of the fixing bolts extending into the shoe sole and penetrating the rigid block on the shoe upper.
[0007] The shoe body is inserted into the sole and fixed with bolts. This allows the shoe body and sole to be separated by removing the bolts when one of them is damaged, so that they can be replaced and reinstalled. This avoids the need to replace the entire shoe body and sole when only one part is damaged.
[0008] By incorporating flexible pressure sensors at the ankle and on the sole at the sides of the shoe upper and the outer side of the little toe, the system can collect pressure data during walking and detect pressure data from the ankle pressing against the shoe upper and tongue. This allows for more accurate data collection, which in turn assists doctors in assessing the outcome of foot and ankle injury rehabilitation and provides data for treatment plans.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the shoe body is integrally connected to a ring-shaped hard block, the hard block on the shoe body is inserted into the sole and slidably connected thereto, and the side of the sole is threaded with a plurality of fixing bolts, the ends of the fixing bolts extending into the sole and penetrating the hard block on the shoe body.
[0010] By incorporating a rigid block, the shape of which is identical to that of the bottom of the shoe, the connection becomes tighter when inserted into the sole. This makes the connection more stable and reliable when using fixing bolts to secure it to the sole.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, infrared therapy patches are fixedly installed on the side of the shoe and near the ankle.
[0012] By setting up infrared therapy patches, the emitted infrared rays can assist in the treatment of the ankles. When the infrared rays are emitted, they generate a certain amount of heat, which can warm the feet when used in winter to prevent frostbite and make wearing them more comfortable.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the sole is fitted with a sealing plate, which is a rubber sheet, to seal the placement cavity.
[0014] By installing a sealing plate, the processor can be sealed to prevent sweat from feet from entering the placement chamber and wetting the processor.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a rigid plate is fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the sealing plate, and a plastic bolt is provided on the upper surface of the rigid plate. The end of the plastic bolt passes through the rigid plate and is threadedly connected to the sole of the shoe.
[0016] By using a rigid plate, the connection becomes tighter when installing the sealing plate, thanks to the plastic bolts.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the sole includes a first flexible layer and a second flexible layer, with a rigid layer integrally connected between the first flexible layer and the second flexible layer, and the fixing bolt is located on the side of the rigid layer.
[0018] By setting up a first flexible layer and a second flexible layer, walking becomes more comfortable. The setting of the hard layer allows it to work with the hard block to make the connection stable and prevent gaps from appearing due to the deformation of the shoe during walking.
[0019] As can be seen from the above, the foot and ankle pressure detection device provided by this utility model has the following technical effects.
[0020] Firstly, the shoe body is inserted into the sole and fixed with bolts. This allows the shoe body and sole to be separated by removing the bolts when either the shoe body or the sole is damaged, and then replaced with new ones. This avoids the need to replace the entire shoe body and sole when only one part is damaged.
[0021] Secondly, by installing flexible pressure sensors at the ankle on the shoe body, and flexible pressure sensors on the sole located on both sides of the shoe upper and the outer side of the little toe, it is possible to collect pressure data during walking, as well as detect the pressure data of the ankle squeezing the shoe body and tongue during walking. This makes the data collection more accurate, thereby assisting doctors in evaluating the results of foot and ankle injury rehabilitation and providing some data for treatment plans.
