Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical assistive devices, and in particular to a split-type detachable insole with pressure sensing detection function. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most insoles on the market have significant limitations in their functional design. Most insoles adopt a single-function design approach, only providing basic foot support or physical protection. For example, some products focus on shock absorption and cushioning, using material elasticity to absorb the impact of exercise; some products only provide arch support, maintaining the physiological curvature of the foot through biomimetic structures; and some products focus on breathability, moisture wicking, or antibacterial and odor-resistant properties as their core functions.
[0003] With the rapid development of the health industry and the upgrading of consumer demand, users' functional requirements for insoles have shifted from basic protection to diversification and intelligence. Modern users not only expect insoles to provide traditional physical support, but also urgently need them to integrate multiple functions such as physiotherapy (e.g., acupressure massage, heat therapy), health monitoring (e.g., foot pressure detection, step counting, sleep quality analysis), and exercise assistance (e.g., posture correction, exercise intensity assessment) to meet the needs of daily health care, sports training, rehabilitation care, and other scenarios.
[0004] To address these needs, a few products have attempted to integrate functional modules such as heating and vibration massage. However, these products generally employ an integrated, fixed structural design, meaning the functional modules are not detachable from the insole body. This design results in significant drawbacks: firstly, poor adaptability, making it impossible to flexibly replace functional modules based on differences in user foot shapes or usage scenarios (such as daily walking versus professional sports); secondly, high maintenance costs, as the entire insole must be replaced when a functional module fails, rather than repairing or replacing the module individually, leading to resource waste; and thirdly, insufficient functional expandability, making it difficult to add or upgrade functional modules based on subsequent user needs.
[0005] For example, the Chinese utility model patent CN202210060367.7, which discloses "an age-friendly insole with a replaceable insole core function," is still limited to basic insole core replacement in its core design. It fails to break through the single-function framework and can only achieve limited age-friendly auxiliary functions, unable to meet the needs of multi-scenario applications. This solution cannot dynamically adjust the function combination according to the user's health status (such as switching from daily walking mode to rehabilitation therapy mode), and it lacks intelligent interactive design, failing to integrate digital functions such as gait analysis, wireless transmission of health data, and intelligent early warning, making it difficult to meet modern users' technological expectations for smart wearable devices.
[0006] In summary, existing insole products have significant shortcomings in terms of functional diversity, structural flexibility, and level of intelligence, and cannot meet the growing demand for complex functions from users. There is an urgent need for an insole technology solution that can flexibly replace functional modules, meet diverse scenario requirements, and possess intelligent features.
[0007] In view of this, the inventor has designed a separate, detachable insole with pressure sensing detection function, which leads to this invention. Utility Model Content

[0041] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a split-type detachable insole with pressure sensing detection function, comprising an insole body, wherein the insole body is composed of three independent and sequentially stacked layers: a base pad 100, a functional additional layer, and a contact layer 200, wherein the functional additional layer includes the following components:
[0043] 300 Chinese herbal medicine inlay modules with built-in replaceable Chinese herbal medicine packs;
[0044] The acupoint massage module 400 has a raised structure 410 corresponding to the acupoints on the sole of the foot.
[0045] Foot arch adjustment module 500;
[0046] A silicone shock-absorbing module 600 is disposed between the base pad 100 and the contact layer 200 for flexible shock absorption.
[0047] Magnetic massage module 700;
[0048] Pressure sensing module for gait analysis;
[0049] The base pad 100, the functional additional layer, and the contact layer 200 are detachably connected by snaps, Velcro, or magnetic connections.
[0050] Specifically, the Chinese medicine embedded module 300 has a built-in replaceable Chinese medicine pack. The Chinese medicine pack is designed according to the nine major TCM constitutions (balanced constitution, yang deficiency constitution, yin deficiency constitution, etc.). For example, the Chinese medicine for yang deficiency constitution includes warm herbs such as cinnamon and ginger, while the Chinese medicine for yin deficiency constitution includes yin-nourishing herbs such as lily and ophiopogon japonicus.
[0051] The herbal medicine pack has a breathable mesh (not shown in the picture), which helps to release the medicine with body temperature while walking, thus achieving foot therapy.
[0052] The outer shell of the Chinese medicine inlay module 300 is made of breathable non-woven fabric, and the edges are equipped with a buckle structure (not shown in the figure) to facilitate the replacement of the Chinese medicine pack.
[0053] In addition, the acupoint massage module 400 is provided with a protrusion structure 410 corresponding to the acupoints on the sole of the foot. The protrusion is hemispherical or cylindrical (height 3-5mm, diameter 5-8mm). In this embodiment, it is a flat cylindrical shape. Its distribution corresponds to the acupoint requirements of different constitutions. For example, the Yang deficiency constitution corresponds to the Yongquan acupoint and the Taixi acupoint, and the Yin deficiency constitution corresponds to the Sanyinjiao acupoint and the Zhaohai acupoint.
[0054] When walking, the protrusions press on acupoints with the pressure of the feet, thereby stimulating the meridians and regulating the body's constitution.
[0055] The acupoint massage module 400 has Velcro on the back and another Velcro on its attachment surface, which can be fixed to the adjacent module (not shown in the figure).
[0056] In addition, the main body of the silicone shock absorption module 600 is made of silicone material with a hardness of 30-40 Shore A. The interlayer contains a biomechanical stress analysis pad (not shown in the figure, made of TPU material, 1-2mm thick), whose shape is adapted to the user's arch curve and can sense the pressure distribution on the sole of the foot.
[0057] The silicone shock-absorbing module 600 has a buckle and a magnetic connector (not shown in the figure) on its edge, which not only ensures a stable connection with other modules, but also enables power transmission through the magnetic conductive contact 800.
[0058] In addition, the arch adjustment module 500 is made of memory foam or EVA foam, which can adaptively fit the user's arch height and provide support for foot types such as flat feet and high arches.
[0059] The surface of the arch adjustment module 500 is provided with anti-slip texture (not shown in the figure), and the edges are fixed to the adjacent modules by Velcro (the bottom pad 100 or the contact layer 200 has a shape and structure that are adapted to it) to ensure that it does not shift when walking.
[0060] In addition, the magnetic massage module 700 uses detachable massage blocks (ABS plastic shell with built-in neodymium iron boron magnets). The massage blocks can be freely adjusted according to the user's foot pain points (such as heel and forefoot), and promote local blood circulation and relieve muscle fatigue through magnetic force.
[0061] The magnetic massage module 700 has a slot at the bottom (not shown in the figure) to be fitted and fixed to the protrusions on the edges of other modules (snap-fit connection).
[0062] In addition, the pressure sensor module incorporates a flexible micro-battery (ultra-thin flexible lithium battery, thickness ≤1.5mm), which is connected to 6-8 pressure sensor nodes (not shown in the figure) distributed in the forefoot, arch, and heel areas via a flexible printed circuit board (FPC). The circuitry adopts a serpentine routing design along the edge of the module layer (not shown in the figure) to avoid circuit breakage due to insole bending, and is integrated into the biomechanical stress analysis pad of the silicone shock absorption module 600, with the circuitry routing matching the pressure distribution area of the sole.
[0063] Sensor data is transmitted in real time to mobile phones and other terminal devices via Bluetooth 5.0 module to realize gait analysis (such as cadence, stride length, pressure distribution, etc.). The terminal APP can provide gait abnormalities based on the data and give adjustment suggestions.
[0064] The pressure sensor module supports wireless charging and has a miniature receiving coil on the side, allowing users to charge it without contact using the included charging base. Magnetic conductive contacts 800 (gold-plated) are located at the interlayer connections to enable interlayer power transmission. The contacts correspond to the conductive areas of adjacent modules to ensure circuit continuity during connection.
[0065] Specifically, annular silicone sealing rings (not shown in the figure) are added at the three interlayer connections to prevent sweat or moisture from entering; conductive contacts and the surface of the flexible circuit board are coated with insulating protective adhesive to improve corrosion resistance; each module layer uses nano-level waterproof and antibacterial fabric, and the connectors are made of wear-resistant nylon material to ensure long-term stability.
[0066] All circuitry and battery areas are covered with a nano-waterproof coating (not shown in the image).
[0067] Preferably, the pressure sensing module is connected to an external terminal via a Bluetooth module or a wireless network module for real-time transmission of gait data.
[0068] Preferably, the pressure sensing module has a built-in flexible micro battery and is connected to several sensor nodes through a flexible circuit board. The circuit of the pressure sensing module is hidden along the edge of the functional additional layer. Magnetic conductive contacts 800 are provided at the connection between the bottom pad 100, the functional additional layer and the contact layer 200 to realize power transmission.
[0069] Preferably, the flexible circuit board is integrated into the biomechanical stress analysis pad in the silicone shock absorption module 600, and the circuit of the flexible circuit board adopts a serpentine routing design along the edge of the functional additional layer to avoid circuit breakage when the insole bends.
[0070] Preferably, the protrusions of the acupoint massage module 400 are hemispherical or cylindrical.
[0071] Preferably, the shape of the silicone shock-absorbing module 600 is adapted to the user's arch curve to assist in analyzing the stress state of the sole of the foot.
[0072] Preferably, the shape of the arch adjustment module 500 conforms to the user's arch curve to provide support for the arch.
[0073] Preferably, the magnetic massage module 700 is connected to the base pad 100 via a detachable massage block.
[0074] Preferably, a waterproof sealing ring is provided at the connection between the base pad 100, the functional additional layer and the contact layer 200 to prevent moisture from entering the circuit area.
[0075] Preferably, the flexible micro battery is an ultra-thin flexible lithium battery with a thickness of no more than 1.5 mm, and is embedded in the interlayer of the silicone shock-absorbing module 600.
[0076] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0077] This utility model integrates functions such as traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy, acupoint massage, shock absorption support, and gait monitoring to meet the needs of multiple scenarios such as physiotherapy, sports, and health monitoring;
[0078] In addition, by designing the Chinese medicine inlay module 300 and the acupoint protrusion structure 410 through the classification of TCM constitution, combined with the foot arch adjustment module 500, it can be adapted to the body characteristics of different users.
[0079] In addition, each module is detachable and replaceable, reducing maintenance costs, and users can freely assemble functional layers according to their needs;
[0080] In addition, the pressure sensor module transmits gait data in real time to help users adjust their exercise posture and improve the efficiency of health management;
[0081] In particular, the stability of the circuit and module is ensured by the use of waterproof sealing rings.
[0082] In summary, this invention achieves multifunctional integration of insoles through modular design. Users can freely combine functions such as traditional Chinese medicine therapy, acupoint massage, and intelligent monitoring according to their own needs, solving the problems of limited functionality and poor adaptability of existing insoles. The integration of traditional Chinese medicine constitution adaptation and biomechanical design enhances the personalized experience, while the detachable and replaceable modules reduce usage costs, making it suitable for the health management and sports protection needs of various groups.
