[0024] This invention provides a multifunctional intelligent ankle boot. The boot body is equipped with multiple inflatable components. A controller and air source are installed on the outer wall of the boot body. The air source is connected to the inflatable components via pipelines. Each inflatable component has a valve connected to the pipelines. Each inflatable component includes an air bladder and a sensor group. The valve is installed on the air bladder, and the sensor group is installed on the outer side of the air bladder. The entire ankle boot is equipped with air bladders and sensors, allowing for adjustment based on feedback, enhancing blood circulation, improving metabolism, and reducing the risk of thrombosis. A pressure sensor is installed on the inner side of the bottom of the boot body, and an insole is installed inside the boot body. The insole has a built-in foot massage structure, providing customized arch support based on the foot shape and pressure characteristics of different patient groups. Through adaptive fluid adjustment and multi-segment pressure detection by the pressure sensor, the detection accuracy and information richness are improved, achieving dynamic adjustment of pressure distribution and support strength.

[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown in the first embodiment, a multifunctional smart ankle boot includes a boot body 100, multiple inflation components are installed on the boot body 100, a pressure sensor 101 is installed on the inner side of the bottom of the boot body 100, a controller 102 and an air source 103 are installed on the outer wall of the boot body 100, the air source 103 is connected to the inflation components through pipelines, and valves connected to the pipelines are installed on the inflation components. Pressure sensor 101 establishes a connection with controller 102 to achieve data interaction. Controller 102 processes the pressure data detected by pressure sensor 101 to obtain detection data, and controls air source 103 and valves respectively based on the detection data.

[0026] The aforementioned multifunctional smart ankle boot has inflatable components distributed in sections along the inner wall of the entire boot body 100 and set independently to each other. The inflatable components include an air bladder 104 and a sensor group, with a valve installed on the air bladder 104 and the sensor group installed on the outer side of the air bladder 104.

[0027] The sensor group includes a pressure sensor 105 and a temperature sensor 106.

[0028] like Figure 3-4 As shown, an insole 200 is installed inside the boot body 100. The insole 200 has a built-in foot massage structure, including a massage pad. The top of the massage pad has multiple acupoint massage points 203 according to human acupoints. An adjustable fluid pad 202 is installed at the bottom of the massage pad 201. The adjustable fluid pad 202 has a fluid 204 inside. The reaction force generated by the fluid 204 provides support for the acupoint massage points 203.

[0029] The acupressure point 203 is a rotatable sphere, cylinder, or ellipse, with a portion protruding from the massage pad 201. The fluid 204 inside the adjustable fluid pad 202 is either gas or liquid. The thickness of both the massage pad 201 and the adjustable fluid pad 202 is 3mm-15mm. Within this thickness range, it maintains a certain degree of flexibility, avoiding excessive stiffness and facilitating natural foot movement. This thickness range allows the adjustable fluid pad 202 to dynamically adjust according to changes in the user's foot pressure, providing personalized support for patients with diabetic foot and flat feet. Therefore, a thickness range of 3mm-15mm is technically easy to achieve, ensuring product performance without significantly increasing production difficulty and cost. The difference in compressibility between gas and liquid provides more functional options for insole 200. Gas has higher compressibility and can provide a softer cushioning effect, making it suitable for patients who need to reduce the impact on the soles of their feet. Liquid has lower compressibility and can provide more stable support, making it suitable for patients with flat feet who need stronger arch support. This differentiated characteristic allows insole 200 to be adjusted according to the specific needs of different patients, enhancing the applicability of the product.

[0030] By selecting liquids of different viscosities or gases of different pressures, the personalized needs of different patients can be further met. For example, for lighter patients, low-viscosity liquids or low-pressure gases can be selected; for heavier patients, high-viscosity liquids or high-pressure gases can be selected. This flexibility allows insole 200 to provide suitable support and cushioning for a wide range of patients. Furthermore, compared to solid materials, gases and liquids have lower densities, helping to reduce the overall weight of insole 200. This feature has a positive effect on improving patient comfort and reducing energy consumption during walking, which is especially important for diabetic foot patients with limited mobility.

[0031] In practice, the appropriate fluid type and parameters can be selected based on the patient's specific condition. For example, for patients with flat feet requiring strong support, high-viscosity silicone oil can be chosen as the liquid filler, with a viscosity ranging from 500 to 1000 cSt. This high-viscosity liquid provides stable support while maintaining a certain degree of fluidity to adapt to changes in foot shape. For diabetic foot patients requiring more cushioning, inert gases such as nitrogen or helium can be chosen as the filler, with the gas pressure adjustable from 0.5 to 2 bar. This gas filling provides a soft cushioning effect, reducing the risk of excessive local pressure on the sole of the foot.

[0032] For example, for patients with mild flat feet, an 8-10mm thick adjustable fluid pad 202 filled with medium-viscosity (approximately 700 cSt) silicone oil can be selected. For patients with severe diabetic foot, a 12-15mm thick adjustable fluid pad 202 filled with nitrogen gas at a pressure of 1.5 bar can be selected. This combination of thickness and fluid 204 provides sufficient support and cushioning while maintaining the lightweight nature of the insole 200.

[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown in the second embodiment, a multifunctional smart ankle boot includes a boot body 100, multiple inflation components are installed on the boot body 100, a pressure sensor 101 is installed on the inner side of the bottom of the boot body 100, a controller 102 and an air source 103 are installed on the outer wall of the boot body 100, the air source 103 is connected to the inflation components through pipelines, and valves connected to the pipelines are installed on the inflation components. Pressure sensor 101 establishes a connection with controller 102 to achieve data interaction. Controller 102 processes the pressure data detected by pressure sensor 101 to obtain detection data, and controls air source 103 and valves respectively based on the detection data.

[0034] The aforementioned multifunctional smart ankle boot has inflatable components distributed in sections along the inner wall of the entire boot body 100 and set independently to each other. The inflatable components include an air bladder 104 and a sensor group, with a valve installed on the air bladder 104 and the sensor group installed on the outer side of the air bladder 104.

[0035] The sensor group includes a pressure sensor 105 and a temperature sensor 106.

[0036] like Figure 3-4 As shown, an insole 200 is installed inside the boot body 100. The insole 200 has a built-in foot massage structure, including a massage pad 201. The top of the massage pad 201 is provided with multiple acupoint massage points 203 according to human acupoints. An adjustable fluid pad 202 is installed at the bottom of the massage pad 201. The adjustable fluid pad 202 has a fluid 204 inside, and the reaction force generated by the fluid 204 provides support for the acupoint massage points 203.

[0037] The acupressure point 203 is a rotatable sphere, cylinder, or ellipse, with a portion protruding from the massage pad 201. The fluid 204 inside the adjustable fluid pad 202 is either gas or liquid. The thickness of both the massage pad 201 and the adjustable fluid pad 202 is 3mm-15mm. Within this thickness range, it maintains a certain degree of flexibility, avoiding excessive stiffness and facilitating natural foot movement. This thickness range allows the adjustable fluid pad 202 to dynamically adjust according to changes in the user's foot pressure, providing personalized support for patients with diabetic foot and flat feet. Therefore, a thickness range of 3mm-15mm is technically easy to achieve, ensuring product performance without significantly increasing production difficulty and cost. Specifically, the thickness of the adjustable fluid pad 202 can be precisely adjusted according to the needs of different users. For example, for users with lighter weight or more even foot pressure distribution, the thickness can be adjusted to the range of 3mm-8mm to provide moderate support and cushioning; for users with heavier weight or uneven foot pressure distribution, the thickness can be adjusted to the range of 8mm-15mm to provide stronger support and pressure dispersion. Specifically, the thickness of the adjustable fluid pad 202 can be automatically adjusted by the microcontroller based on the foot pressure distribution detected by the pressure sensor 300. When it detects that the pressure in certain areas is too high, the microcontroller can increase the thickness of the fluid pad 204 in that area, and vice versa, thereby achieving dynamic pressure balance.

[0038] It also includes a control terminal, a pressure sensor, and a drive circuit board; the pressure sensor is installed on the top of the massage pad 201 and fits in contact with the sole of the foot, and the drive circuit board is installed on the bottom of the adjustable fluid pad 202. The control terminal connects wirelessly or via wired to the pressure sensor and the drive circuit board for data transmission and control. The drive circuit board processes the pressure distribution on the sole of the foot detected by the pressure sensor and the pressure distribution after being supported by the reaction force of the fluid 204 to generate a control signal to compensate for the support force. The drive circuit board controls each acupoint massage point 203 according to the control signal.

[0039] The acupoint massage point 203 is a rotatable sphere, cylinder, or ellipse. The acupoint massage point 203 has a portion protruding from the massage pad 201. Each acupoint massage point 203 has a motor installed at its bottom, and a drive circuit board controls and connects to each motor. A lifting driver is installed on the motor, and the drive circuit board controls and connects to each lifting driver. The acupoint massage point 203 is electromagnetic or an electrode.

A controller and air source are installed on the outer wall of the boot body. The air source is connected to the inflatable components via pipelines. Each inflatable component is equipped with a valve connected to the pipelines. The inflatable component includes an air bladder and a sensor group. The valve is installed on the air bladder, and the sensor group is installed on the outer side of the air bladder. The entire ankle boot is equipped with air bladders and sensors, allowing for adjustment based on feedback. This enhances blood circulation, improves metabolism, and reduces the risk of thrombosis.
