SMART ADAPTIVE SOLE STRUCTURE, SHOCK ABSORBING AND MODULAR RUNNING SHOE

Abstract

This invention comprises an upper (1) surrounding the foot, a lacing / fastening system (2) that secures the shoe to the foot, an adaptive midsole (3) containing variable stiffness modulus modules for changing the stiffness of the sole in the heel, midfoot and forefoot regions, heel variable stiffness modulus (4), midfoot variable stiffness modulus (5), forefoot variable stiffness modulus (6), an adaptive stiffness actuator (7) that changes the stiffness levels of the variable stiffness modulus modules, heel variable stiffness modulus (4), midfoot variable stiffness modulus (5), forefoot variable stiffness modulus (6), a stiffness adjustment motor (8) that operates the adaptive stiffness actuator (7), a heel micro air shock absorber (9) and a forefoot micro air shock absorber (10) that dampen the shocks generated during ground contact in the heel and forefoot regions respectively, and a micro pump / pressure valve (11) that adjusts the internal pressure of the heel micro air shock absorber (9) and the forefoot micro air shock absorber (10).A carbon composite energy return plate (12) that stores the elastic energy generated during running and transfers it back in the push-off phase, a modular sole system (13) that houses the locking points (14) for attaching the replaceable sole modules (15), replaceable sole modules (15) that can be attached and detached from the modular sole system (13) according to different ground conditions, a sensor system (16) that detects the biomechanical data of the user, a pressure sensor (17) that measures the force and pressure distribution applied to the foot, an IMU motion sensor (18) that measures the speed, acceleration, change of direction and step frequency data of the user's movement, an electronic control unit (19) that controls the adaptive stiffness actuator (7), stiffness adjustment motor (8) and micro pump / pressure valve (11) by processing the data obtained from the pressure sensor (17) and the IMU motion sensor (18),The system includes a wireless communication module (20) that enables data communication between the electronic control unit (19) and an external user interface, a mobile application interface (21) for displaying system operating data and transmitting setting data to the electronic control unit (19), and a rechargeable battery (22) that provides electrical energy to the electronic and electromechanical components in the system.
