[0008] As shown in Figures 1 to 10, the preferred embodiment of the insole with the power generating and location identifying device according to the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and the present application is not limited to this structure.

[0009] The insole with the power generation and location device according to the present invention includes an insole body 10. The insole body 10 has a storage chamber 11 formed inside one end thereof, and inside the storage chamber 11, a power generation device 20, a power storage device 30, and a Bluetooth device 40 are respectively installed. The power generation device 20 is electrically connected to the power storage device 30 by a first wiring S1, the power storage device 30 is electrically connected to the Bluetooth device 40 by a second wiring S2, and the Bluetooth device 40 is electrically connected to the trigger switch 50 by a third wiring S3. The power generating device 20 has an upper layer piezoelectric module 21 and a lower layer piezoelectric module 24 that are configured correspondingly, and at least one first elastic member 23 is installed between the upper layer piezoelectric module 21 and the lower layer piezoelectric module 24 . The first resilient member 23 may be in the form of a spring or a resilient pad. The upper piezoelectric module 21 and the lower piezoelectric module 24 use the first elastic member 23 to perform a coupling and decoupling movement with continuous elastic return movement, thereby converting kinetic energy into electrical energy, storing the electrical energy through the power storage device 30, and the electrical energy can support the long-term operation of the Bluetooth device 40. The Bluetooth device 40 can be paired and connected with a search program built in or installed in the mobile terminal 70.

[0010] At the bottom of the lower piezoelectric module 24, a support seat 26 is installed. Between the support seat 26 and the lower piezoelectric module 24, a second elastic member 25 is installed. Moreover, the upper piezoelectric module 21 has a plurality of piezoelectric plates 22, and between each piezoelectric plate 22, they are electrically connected to each other through the fourth wiring S4. The piezoelectric plate 22 is made of a ceramic material.

[0011] Preferably, the power storage device 30 is a capacitor.

[0012] The Bluetooth device 40 is electrically connected to the trigger switch 50 through the third wiring S3, and by manually turning the trigger switch 50 on and off, the operation start and stop of the Bluetooth device 40 are controlled. The lower piezoelectric module 24 can be made of any of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and nylon. Preferably, on the back layers of the upper piezoelectric module 21 and the lower piezoelectric module 24, metal electrodes such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or silver nanowire conductive films are installed.

[0013] The operating principle of the present invention is that when mechanical force (such as vibration or movement) from the environment acts on the upper piezoelectric module 21 and the lower piezoelectric module 24 of the power generation device 20, the upper and lower layers come into contact due to kinetic energy and electron movement occurs, generating charges with different polarities. When the external force is removed, the friction layer separates, generating a potential difference to drive the flow of electrons, storing electrical energy through the power storage device 30, and supplying power to the Bluetooth device 40.

[0014] By storing electrical energy through the energy management circuit and stably outputting it, the long-term operation of the Bluetooth device 40 is supported.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 3, for the insole body 10 of the present invention, it is necessary to first press the trigger switch 50 to start the operation of the Bluetooth device 40. As shown in FIG. 4, when the Bluetooth device 40 of the present invention is activated, the insole body 10 is mounted within the wearing space 61 of the shoe body 60.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the user can put both feet into the wearing space 61 of the shoe body 60 and walk. During walking, the feet are in a state of continuous contact and separation with the power generation device 20 of the insole body 10 by stepping. The present invention induces the relative coupling and decoupling movement between the upper piezoelectric module 21 and the lower piezoelectric module 24 by stepping on the insole body 10 for a long time, converting the kinetic energy into electrical energy. As a result, the insole body 10 of the present invention does not require battery replacement or connection to an external power source, and can automatically extend the lifespan of the Bluetooth device 40 by means of a self-power generation method that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 7, when the Bluetooth device 40 operates, it is paired and connected with the search program built-in or installed in the Bluetooth device 40 and the mobile terminal 70. In this embodiment, the search program is the "find my search" app. As shown in FIG. 8, the user can select the search target on the app screen of the mobile terminal 70. As shown in FIG. 9, by selecting a pairing target, for example, "grandfather", and adding it to the search target before the user can enter, as shown in FIG. 10, a map of the current location of the grandfather is displayed on the mobile terminal 70, enabling the user to easily search for the location of the grandfather.

[0018] As described above, in the present invention, by stepping on the insole body during a long walk, a relative coupling and detachment movement between the upper piezoelectric module and the lower piezoelectric module is induced, and the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy. As a result, the insole body of the present invention does not require battery replacement or connection to an external power source, and can extend the lifespan of the Bluetooth device by a self-power generation method that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy, thus realizing convenience in use and practical progress.
